Chapter 126 Fruit Trees Moved from Jiang Village
After a simple breakfast, the group bumped along the road to Linhe Village.
As soon as they stepped into the green fields outside the city, Yuan Qionghua couldn't help but exclaim, "You know, I never really felt this way when I lived in the village before."
"But how long have you been living in the city?"
"Why does looking at all this greenery feel so comforting?"
Her words drew nods of agreement from everyone in the car.
Jiang Shanshan exclaimed, "In the past, when we lived in the village, we couldn't even finish eating all the vegetables from our own garden."
"But now... even buying a scallion costs money!"
"Sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, you don't know!"
"I'm so envious of those few scallions growing in those broken clay pots by the wall!"
“It’s alright! Once our house is built, we’ll have Jianmin and the others fill in a plot of land on the roof!” Yuan Qionghua came up with an idea.
An Jian'an, who was driving, was speechless.
They actually want to turn a perfectly good new building into a rooftop vegetable garden.
That's fine...
But did they consider the possibility of water leakage?
The more An Jian'an thought about it, the more his head ached.
He always felt that when the sisters-in-law got together, it might not just be talk.
However, as the group discussed the matter, their initial strange feelings quickly vanished.
As they talked, somehow the conversation turned to An Songyu's newly purchased house.
Compared to her family, who live almost entirely in comfort.
When An Songyu mentioned that place, the group had almost no recollection of it.
After some discussion, An Jianguo took the initiative to suggest:
"That's perfect. Let's see how long it takes to finish in Jiangcun today."
"If we have time, we might as well go and take a look."
An Songyu didn't think much of it, assuming that everyone was just curious about the location of her newly purchased house.
He agreed very readily.
When the group arrived at Linhe Village, they hadn't even entered the courtyard yet.
Then I saw several figures sitting on a boat in the distance on the vast reservoir, bobbing with the waves. Among them, one figure seemed to be An Shunhe.
The three An brothers simply told An Songyu and the others to go to the yard first.
They then followed the edge of the reservoir to find Anshun.
The reservoir was so large that the three of them could tell it was Anshunhe.
It was only because of his familiarity with his father.
There's no way to call someone directly here.
The courtyard by the reservoir is changing every day.
When An Songyu and his companions arrived, they saw an exceptionally lush vegetable garden.
In addition, the area of this vegetable garden is many times larger than originally planned.
Even in some places near the edge of the mountain, which are not suitable for planting, there are traces of soil being turned over.
In addition, there are many fruit trees around the yard.
An Songyu asked with some curiosity, "Grandma, are these the fruit trees that Grandpa and the others moved back from the village?"
Shi Youqin smiled and nodded, watching her youngest daughter-in-law circle around one of the trees, her smile deepening.
Sure enough, after Jiang Shanshan confirmed it, she came over and said, "Mom, that peach tree over there looks familiar!"
Shi Youqin's smile, which hadn't faded before, widened even further:
"That's definitely familiar, it's the tree behind your parents' house!"
"What?" This time, not only Jiang Shanshan, but also the others next to her couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Shi Youqin didn't tease the younger generation, and laughed, "Isn't it your dad!"
"He said that since we're going back to the village to move fruit trees, we should definitely choose the best ones."
"But I remember the village's measurements weren't finished yet?" Jiang Shanshan asked her sister-in-law hesitantly.
Yuan Qionghua thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Those plants that were initially moved back were not planted in this part of the yard."
"They were busy here at the time!"
When they first moved here, the house was already built and the silkworm rearing room was ready to use.
But this huge reservoir needs to be treated, and the silkworm cocoons moved from the silkworm house also need to be watched over.
Moving silkworm cocoons over here is not as tiring as it is for these people.
No matter how bumpy the car is, it doesn't affect them.
Just the relocation of the silkworm rearing room alone kept them busy for many days.
At that time, there was naturally not much time to go to the village to dig up fruit trees.
However, Shi Youqin did not elaborate on this matter.
Strictly speaking, the work that the elderly couple is doing now belongs to their youngest son.
Even the third brother gave them a share.
But if we talk about this too much, it can easily make the children feel uncomfortable.
Although Shi Youqin also believed that her child was not the kind of person who would be so petty.
But there's nothing necessary about it, so she should do less of it.
However, upon hearing Shi Youqin's words, the sisters-in-law immediately became much more interested.
After all, they all knew which family in the village had the best-tasting fruit.
Even if you have a very good relationship with someone, it's not appropriate to always go to their house to freeload.
But now my in-laws have all moved to the reservoir area.
Now look what's happened! They won't stand on ceremony with their in-laws and brothers!
After the group walked around the courtyard, they discovered that not only were all the good-tasting fruits in the village gathered here, but almost all of them were concentrated in this area.
Among them is even the lychee tree in the village that is nearly a hundred years old.
And other fruit trees that have always been quite famous in the village.
"Mom, did you even move this tree here? I remember it only bore fruit once in the last ten years or so!"
Jiang Shanshan circled the enormous body of the lychee tree again and again, still finding it incredibly fascinating.
Aunt An Si also remembered this tree, and she asked hesitantly:
"It's so old, will it survive if we move it here?"
"Yes!" Yuan Qionghua also walked over and patted the tree trunk a few times: "Will it survive if we move it here in this season?"
Looking at the old tree from afar, its trunk bearing the marks of time, much like the old couple she had been with, Shi Youqin sighed:
"Move it over here, and it still has a chance to live."
Back when they moved the fruit trees...
The village chief took the initiative to ask them about these similar fruit trees.
Later, the people of Jiangcun moved to Xinlin Village.
There was nowhere left to grow anything.
These fruit trees, like those in Jiangcun, have been a part of the village for a very long time.
However, they are almost always cut off.
Although no one knew the details, they all fell silent upon hearing Shi Youqin's words.
Yes, if we move it over here, it might continue to live.
But if we don't move it...
"I wonder what will happen to the fruit trees in the village?" Yuan Qionghua sighed as well.
"What can be done?"
"I guess most of them will just be cut off!"
After all, it's easy to see that even if these trees are indeed worth a lot of money.
But if we really have to wait until they are all moved out, we don't know how long it will take.
Moreover, just as they had worried earlier.
The current season, and the age of these fruit trees, are not suitable times for transplanting.
Thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
After all, it was for Jiangcun village, and for the fruit trees and flowers in Jiangcun village that they had personally cared for.
They all have very deep feelings.
When An Jianguo and his group returned, they found that the women in the room were not in high spirits.
The brothers didn't say much.
They had just told their father that Jiangcun had begun to be demolished.
On the way back, the old man had little interest in speaking.
I brought out the specially made Malay cake and water chestnut cake for the two elderly people to eat first.
They then asked about whether or not they were going back to the village.
The two agreed almost without hesitation.
So the group took another route back to Jiangcun.
