Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 69 Digging a Pit
Li Muyang thought of the things he bought for his sister again, so he took them out and gave them to her.

Li Xiangqin giggled happily when she saw the shoes, holding them in her arms and loving them.

When Li Muyang took out the mirror and comb to her, she cried "Wow".

He grabbed Li Muyang's arm and started dancing and crying.

"Brother~"

"Brother~"

"Okay, okay, this is not an expensive thing. My brother, I shouldn't buy you something small. Seeing how excited you are, you thought I bought you a golden pimple."

"This is much better than Golden Pimples. My brother bought it for me. How can I be unhappy?"

"Just be happy. How about trying on the shoes? I bought them based on my estimation. If they don't fit, you can exchange them for a new pair."

When Li Muyang was talking about shoes, he thought of Lin Xiuli again and couldn't help but smile.

He recalled how he was shopping for shoes with Lin Xiuli in his previous life, and how distressed she was when she couldn't find the right size every time.

Hey ~
If you miss someone too much, even if you think of her being embarrassed, you still feel warm.

no! ! !

He had to find a matchmaker quickly, he couldn't wait any longer.

When he thought about his wife clearly being in this world, but not getting along with him day and night, he felt that he was at a disadvantage.

"Is Wu'er back?"

Yuan Rufeng's voice came from the room.

"It's me, mother."

Li Muyang handed the oil cakes and twists to Li Xiangqin and asked her to bring them in to her mother. The oil cakes should be eaten while they are hot and soft.

He himself is still busy.

He unloaded all the saplings. First, he separated the saplings, among which the jujube saplings were the largest, and the other saplings were scattered here and there.

There are two grape roots, two cherry trees, and three walnut trees, and the rest are just a few apple and banana pear saplings.

Except for the jujube trees, which are to be planted on the ridges, all other saplings are to be planted in front of the house.

Li Muyang's home now only has three tile-roofed houses, but that doesn't mean his farm base is that big.

In fact, his bank base was allocated eight points of land.

He was also allowed to expand a two-meter-wide wall trench around the village base, so he had a yard of about 1 acre.

It's just that he didn't have money before, so the yard hasn't been built yet.

After he was reborn and returned home, his first thought was that if he had money, he must build a very beautiful yard. He had many templates for family courtyards designed in new rural areas in later generations.

When the time comes, you will make your yard the most beautiful in the village.

According to the design of the courtyards here, each family will have a small private plot outside the courtyard.

Not included in the contract area.

This piece of land is usually one or two points, varying in size.

It is reserved for people to grow vegetables.

Li Muyang also has a private plot, but because it is the southernmost yard in the village, Taoshan is to the south.

So his private land is a long strip, very irregular, but larger than the average private land.

It also belongs to the kind of small land where there are many families but few families, and it is difficult to divide them.

So they were all assigned to Li Muyang.

Speaking of land allocation, there is actually very little land for growing food here.

Because this place is already very dry, the amount of water is directly related to whether food can be grown in the ground.

As long as the land is close to the mountains, the root systems of the trees are too long, basically sucking away the water and nutrients, making it almost impossible to grow food.Therefore, there is a very paradoxical imagination. It is obvious that many people in the village do not have enough land for farming, but there are many idle wild lands on the mountain ridges, but no one is cultivating them.

It's not that they are unwilling, it's that many people have tried it and can't grow food at all.

The wheat grown is basically empty ears, and the corn does not grow tall at all.

It's just a waste of food seeds.

Some people also tried to grow some vegetables, but as a result, the leeks they grew were as thin as toothpicks, and the Chinese cabbage was no different from pea sprouts.

Another wasted effort.

So everyone can understand that the soil on the mountains looks like soil, but in fact the soil on the flat land is fundamentally different.

Apart from planting some trees, don’t even think about anything else.

But what kind of trees can be planted? Look at the peach trees all over the mountain. They only bloom but don’t bear fruit. What’s the use of planting trees?

Everyone even thinks that this mountain is cursed.

In fact, it is normal that nothing can be grown on the mountain.

Herbaceous plants have longer root systems, so how can they compete with woody plants?

In short, because Li Muyang's home is too close to Taoshan, the harvest in the fields is not as good as others. This is a shortcoming.

But the advantage is that he can expand his planting range to the foot of Peach Mountain.

If you can't grow food or vegetables, then just plant trees.

He is better at growing trees than growing vegetables.

Utilize all the idle land at the foot of the mountain and plant it into various fruit trees. In a few years, he will be surrounded by fruit trees.

The flowers bloom in spring and the fruits are abundant in autumn.

He, his wife, and children were walking and playing among the trees, and they felt very happy just thinking about it.

It would be better if my mother's disease could also be cured.

Li Muyang was thinking about something in his mind, but he didn't stop holding the shovel in his hand.

He would first dig a big pit in the open space at the door and bury the jujube saplings in it.

He couldn't plant all the dozens or hundreds of jujube saplings in a short time, so they had to be buried in the soil to preserve moisture, otherwise the saplings would dry up and die in a short time.

"Brother, do you want me to help you?"

Li Xiangqin stood at the door of the room.

"No, just rest for a while and cook for us. Oh... By the way, let me take the bundle of cigarettes to my second brother."

"Ah, you want me to go?" Li Xiangqin was a little reluctant. She didn't like her second brother.

"It's okay, you can go. There's still a second sister-in-law. Besides, didn't I tell you that when the second brother heard that you were being bullied, he was going to teach Liu Xiaogang a lesson. If he hadn't stopped him, he would have done it with a stick. Gotta go out."

Li Muyang has dug the pit and is shaking out the last soil. A small fan-shaped earth bag has been thrown out from the edge of the pit.

"The second brother is just a little more careful. He is actually quite nice and cares about you. If you think about their family's financial situation, the five members of the family rely on the second brother to make money by doing some mud work for others, so it's not It’s not enough to be more detailed.”

"I just don't like the way he talks."

"Haha~"

Li Muyang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't like it. Everyone has their own way of speaking. Don't look at how others speak, but look more at people's hearts. As long as there is nothing wrong with the people's hearts, it doesn't matter if they don't speak well. You don't Get along with my second brother day and night."

Seeing that his sister still didn't understand, Li Muyang added: "Think about how good a person Second Sister-in-law is. Have you ever heard her complain about Second Brother? It stands to reason that she has to bear the Second Brother's problems every day at home. Why doesn't she have any problem with it, but she has a good relationship with her second brother?"

"why?"

"Because they live every day, she sees through the details in life that the second brother is actually not a good-for-nothing person, but has a lot of good things. Go ahead, you are a mother of two children, so be sensible."
