Chapter 144 Grafting
These days, Lin Fangnian has to go to the orchard several times a day, and every time he comes back, he has to dance and report to Lin Guoxiang.I remember that when the pumpkin seeds germinated, the child was so happy that he almost jumped up and giggled like an old hen at home.Father Lin and the others are actually very anxious, but they are adults after all, unlike Lin Fangnian, who can't hold back his temper.

On this day, Lin Fangnian ran all the way back from the orchard, and told Lin Guoxiang that the watermelon seeds had also sprouted out of breath. Lin Guoxiang couldn't hold back her temper this time, and ran with Lin Fangnian like a child Go to the greenhouse that was simply built in the orchard.Taking a deep breath, Lin Guoxiang tried to suppress the excitement in her heart and carefully lifted the straw curtain covering the ground to see that the watermelon seeds really sprouted.

At this moment, Lin Guoxiang's mouth finally opened. This is the first fruit she planted by herself since she grew up. Unexpectedly, it really germinated.

Lin Fangnian jumped up happily, walked around the straw curtain a few times, and then ran tirelessly to the orchard of the Lin family, cheering along the way that the watermelon had sprouted.Lin Guoxiang scratched her head, thinking: Boys are different after all, they are still so energetic after running back and forth so many times.

She didn't even think about it, the four of them were divided into two groups by the dozen or so big dogs she raised every day, chasing the whole village around the village like chasing rabbits.

Not long after, all the male compatriots of the Lin family knew the good news, so they stopped working, and rushed over carrying hoes and other agricultural tools, chatting around the straw curtain for a long time.It's been almost half a month, and when the watermelon seeds finally germinated, everyone was overjoyed.The most important thing is that everyone can experience the "legendary" grafting technique, which is the most important thing.

Seeing how happy the old man, brothers and nephews were, Lin Guoxiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In this ancient time, the news is too closed and there is still a lack of knowledge. This big guy is so happy when the watermelon just sprouted.Of course, she also knew that everyone was happy because they could soon learn grafting techniques, so she made up her mind to teach them.In fact, grafting is quite simple, the key is the management after grafting, because there is no greenhouse in this era, and it is still a bit cold in early May.If it is not handled properly, it is estimated that the melon seedlings may still be frozen to death.

The atmosphere of the Lin family was quite happy that day, it could almost be described as beaming.For dinner, the meat dishes at home are served on the table in plates. The chicken, duck and fish are all cooked, and their richness is not much different from the New Year's Eve dinner.Lin Guoxiang made an exception today and didn't go into the pot house to help with the cooking, but sat at the table and waited for the dishes to be served. The reason was that she is now a big hero in the family, so she doesn't need to reach out today.

Lin Guoxiang looked at the dishes on the table that were full of color, flavor and taste, and felt a little dumbfounded.This watermelon seed has just germinated, so it's a successful minister?After that, if she came up with some ideas to make everyone earn a lot of money and live a good life, wouldn't the credit go to the sky?

Regardless of what Lin Guoxiang was thinking, the younger ones in the family were so happy that they were about to fly, if not for the presence of the old man and the old man, Lin Fanghou and the others probably would have started a fight.Even Lin Fangxi was grinning happily all night, but because his teeth hadn't grown yet, and his round cute bun face coupled with his crisp, giggling laughter, it made everyone laugh along with him. stand up.The atmosphere in the room suddenly became more festive, and the atmosphere became unprecedentedly good.

During the meal, Father Lin even gave his brothers a few drinks, but for the first time, Mrs. Zhao did not stop him.If it was the past, Mrs. Zhao would have snatched the wine glass from his wife's hand with a haughty face.The reason is that Father Lin was ill once, and the doctor took his pulse and told him to drink less and better not to drink. Since then, there has been no trace of alcohol on the Lin family's dinner table, and even the brothers with the Five Elements were forced to quit. drink.

In the words of old man Lin: I can't drink wine, you bastards, don't drink it, or else I will watch you drinking, isn't it greedy?
For the domineering father, although the Five Elements brothers were full of complaints, they were forced to accept such an unfair "treaty" out of filial piety, and collectively quit drinking.

After dinner, Father Lin, who hadn't drank alcohol for a long time, was a little drunk. He held his daughter's hand and said rather bitterly, "My daughter, don't laugh at Dad and your elder brother. They have shallow eyelids. Don't worry about it, what did your elder brother and the others do for that all these years... Oh, yes, grafting, they have suffered a lot in order to learn this..."

As he spoke, Balabala told Lin Guoxiang some experiences of Lin Sijin and the others learning grafting techniques from other orchard masters over the years, and the eye circles of all the male compatriots in the Lin family who had experienced this gradually turned red.

Except for the 16-year-old Lin Fangfu and Lin Fanghou, everyone in the family has gone out to worship the teacher. It is normal to work for free like a dog, and they are often scolded and ridiculed by the orchard master. There was so much suffering but I didn't learn anything useful. The big guy recalled those days with bitterness in his heart.

Even He's and the others' eye circles turned red, and the atmosphere in the room became a little heavy for a while.

Mrs. Zhao secretly flicked the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, then slapped her wife, and said angrily: "I think you are drunk, old man. What nonsense are you talking about here? I shouldn't have given you a drink just now, you Look at how long it's been since you drank some yellow soup and started drinking like crazy, and you still mention it?" Don't you know that this is like stabbing the wound in the big guy's heart with a knife?
Father Lin has been suppressed by the Zhao family since he was young, so when his wife scolded him, the old man shut his mouth obediently, and even showed his wife a flattering smile, which made the original mood The low-pitched Lin Guoxiang almost didn't laugh out loud.The old man is simply too funny.As for the rest of the Lin family, either looking up at the roof or looking down at the upper of their shoes, they all put on an expression of "we didn't see anything", which is really funny.

At this time, Lin Guoxiang had to hold back her laughter, and tried her best to comfort the old man: "Father, don't worry, grafting is quite easy, I guarantee that they will learn it soon."

Little did they know that after Lin Guoxiang finished speaking, the brothers and nephews almost hugged their heads in pain.why?Because Lin Guoxiang actually said that the technique was simple, but they suffered so much and finally didn't even see it.There is such a big gap between this person and others, let alone comparison, otherwise it will piss people off.

Anyway, this day was quite emotional for everyone in the Lin family. The next day, some sister-in-laws even half-jokingly told her that the brothers got together and had a drink together after returning, and then the five brothers even hugged each other. Tuan burst into tears, but they didn't stop them from persuading him.Lin Guoxiang was very upset after hearing this, so she promised her sisters-in-law that everyone would learn grafting techniques.

After another five or six days, the first true leaf of the pumpkin leaf had unfolded (one leaf and one heart), and the leaves of the watermelon seedlings that had been exposed to the sun for a day had fully unfolded and turned green. Lin Guoxiang knew that grafting at this time was the right time It couldn't be better.So he called everyone in the Lin family to the orchard with some simple tools that he had prepared long ago, and began to teach them hand in hand.

Everyone in the Lin family was so excited that they couldn't speak, and they listened to Mr. Xiao Lin's lecture and imparting skills seriously.There were even a few clever nephews who made inferences and found a few wild trees to experiment repeatedly, coupled with the guidance of a half-fruit farmer like Lin Guoxiang, they actually succeeded in the end.Of course, this is something for later.

Now everyone in the Lin family is earnestly and carefully learning to graft melon seedlings. When they learn how to do it, they will grin happily for a while and then lower their heads to continue working.

Ever since he learned how to graft watermelon seedlings, the Lin family is full of joy. Even Father Lin, who doesn't smile often, has a cheerful face these days, which makes the neighbors in the village full of doubts.Everyone curiously asked what good things happened to the Lin family, which made the wooden-faced old man of the Lin family so happy.Of course, the nickname "wooden face" was only called twice behind everyone's back, and they didn't dare to call it in front of the Lin family.

　In the past two days, in order to write a chapter on planting watermelons, Tuanzi searched the Internet for a lot of videos about planting watermelons, and also checked a lot of information.However, because it is not professional, there may still be some flaws in the text, so please bear with me when you read the book, haha.

　　As for the specific method of grafting, there are also videos on the Internet, so I don’t know what to write about the dumplings here.
