Chapter 29 Sapling Grafting
Although my grandparents are old and cannot do too much farm work, they can still do things like plant some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks.

It was rare for Liang Lixia to sleep late, and when he got up, he saw that no one was at home. After eating the noodles left in the pot by his grandmother, he ran back and forth to find someone.

It took a while to see grandpa hiding among the fruit trees beside the vegetable field at the back of the house. Liang Lixia went over with some surprise, "Grandpa, did you plant all these fruit trees?"

There are plum trees, peach trees, and loquat trees, all of which have already produced green fruits and will fully ripen after a while.

Grandpa smiled and said: "Yeah, I don't like to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks with your grandma. I just plant some fruit trees. You can play for a few more days, and then you can eat enough."

She might not be able to stay until that time, but there is no need to disappoint the old man by saying it outright. Liang Lixia agreed with a smile. Watching his movements, he asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Cut a tree branch and tied it to a tree root that was cut down to a stake?
"Hehe, this is called grafting, and if it succeeds, it will grow into a young sapling," said the grandfather, pointing to the wilting saplings on the other side, "Here, it's like those, but I'm just trying, and it seems that I can't survive. "

grafting?Sound familiar?

However, saplings! ?

Liang Lixia's eyes lit up immediately, he walked over and squatted down to check, he looked listless but not completely dead, he believed that if it was transplanted into the space, it would be able to survive.

And there are ready-made saplings, but the environment is not right and the nutrients are not enough. They are very similar to the fragrant pear saplings she bought before. They will definitely not need to absorb a lot of spring water like the saplings grown from apple cores.

"Grandpa, what kind of tree is this?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask a little excitedly.

"Citrus and sweet dates, do Xia Xia want to eat them? I want to buy saplings and plant them next year."

Liang Lixia blinked and said, "I want to eat it! But, grandpa, can you give me two saplings? I want to take them home and plant them!"

"These? I can't live anymore," the grandfather waved his hands subconsciously, but when he saw the eager eyes of his granddaughter, his heart softened, "Dig it back if you want, and don't cry to grandpa if you die!"

"No! Thank you, grandpa!" Liang Lixia flew over happily, threw his arms full of grandpa, and said in the old man's satisfied smile, "Grandpa, let me help!"

Grafting looks easy, but in fact it is still a technical job. I was almost dumbfounded watching my grandfather's strong hands tie the branches and stumps with leaves together, and after taking various protective measures, Liang Lixia still gave up. I can only help to cut off excess branches, or weeding and weeding.

When grandma came back after releasing the ducks and picking some bamboo shoots, what she saw was the scene of the old and the young busy in the orchard.

The grandmother, who loved her granddaughter, scolded the grandfather unceremoniously, and then took both of them back to the house to rest, while she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Liang Lixia and Grandpa looked at each other for a while, and then they all laughed.

"Grandpa, I'll pour you a glass of water!"

When she got up in the morning and saw that no one was there, she took the opportunity to take some spring water and mix it with the well water to boil a pot of boiling water. This would come in handy. She poured a cup for grandpa, and another cup for grandma in the kitchen.

The kitchen of grandma's house still uses the oldest stove, which has not been burned for many years. Liang Lixia, who asked to help, took several minutes to burn it.

But grandma still couldn't see it, and pulled her away, "Xia Xia, you go out to play, and grandma will be fine."

"Then let me cook!" Liang Lixia would not leave grandma to cook alone, so after volunteering, regardless of whether grandma agreed or not, he began to chop vegetables.

Fortunately, there was boiling spring water, so it would be difficult to pick vegetables in the space, so Liang Lixia boiled a pot of simple bitter gourd egg drop soup with water.

In fact, she doesn't like to eat bitter gourd, she finds it too bitter, so she wonders if it will be sweet if boiled in spring water, so she tasted it, and then her whole face wrinkled.

Grandma laughed when she saw it: "I told you not to use bitter gourd if you are afraid of suffering. You don't eat bitter gourd and you don't like it, so why don't you let me drink it all by myself?"

Liang Lixia stuck out his tongue: "I can drink soup and eat egg drop!"

Fortunately, the soup is mostly egg-flavored and spring water-sweet, with only a small amount of bitterness. Not only Liang Lixia drank a big bowl, but even grandpa drank more than half of the bowl, and his grandmother complained that he only gave his granddaughter face and not to myself.

The old man's body is not suitable for too much stimulation, so even if he only used a little spring water, after lunch, Liang Lixia still observed his grandpa and grandma nervously.

As long as you take it step by step, I believe that when she leaves, the health of grandpa and grandma will already be much better, and there is no need to worry too much even if they stay alone in the country.

However, if you wake up too late in the morning, you will not be able to fall asleep.

After tossing and turning for a while, Liang Lixia simply got up and saw that the room of grandpa and grandma was quiet, so he sneaked into the small orchard behind the house.

She wanted to water those few saplings in the morning, after all, she might not be able to last until the day she went home.

First, he poured some spring water at the roots of the tree, and then sprinkled some on the branches and leaves. Liang Lixia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the saplings were slightly alive.

Tangerines and sweet dates, she has two more fruits that can be sold, but she doesn't know if the summer vacation is over, and if she will have a chance to continue in No. [-] Middle School.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, and he hadn't been back for a long time, so Liang Lixia left a note and went out to wander around this small fallen leaves village.

At noon, most of them were taking a nap, only a few playful children were hiding under the trees and having fun. Liang Lixia strolled along the path in the field very comfortably, but soon, the comfort disappeared, and only the heat remained.

At noon, she was really looking for the sun.

Liang Lixia ran to the nearby grove. She used to come here when she was a child, or picked up some dry branches and leaves, or picked wild mushrooms after the rain. She was very familiar with the terrain. After a few turns, she came to a very Dense grass.

She hid herself tightly, and then entered the space.

The apple tree has grown to two as tall as hers, and it seems to be about to bloom and bear fruit.

Liang Lixia picked a fragrant pear, wiped it lightly, and started to eat it. After taking another look at Qingquan, who hadn't changed, he walked to the fenced yard in peace.

Just when she entered the yard as she was used to, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. After thinking about it, she froze on the spot, then took two steps to one side, and opened her mouth when she looked over again.

Originally, there was chaos behind the yard, and there was nothing to walk through, but now there is an open space, about the size of two wooden houses.

"Lixia! Liang Lixia!"

The familiar call came from afar, and Liang Lixia, who was stunned, came back to her senses. She was in a daze, and subconsciously left the space.

"Who is there?"
