Chapter 53: People are rich and willing to make trouble
"What month is it already? If we just dig up the tree and plant it there, how can it survive? This is just nonsense!"
"Hey, she's rich and willing to do whatever she wants, who cares!"
“.”
Everyone was laughing happily, as if each of them was an expert in agricultural planting, while Qiao Xuan was just a spendthrift woman who knew nothing and was messing around.
Then, when Qiao Xuan spent fifty cents to buy a pear tree as big as a bowl from a family at the west end of the village, everyone couldn't sit still.
They all ran to the Shao family's main house and said that they also had fruit trees to sell.
Qiao Xuan was in a very relaxed attitude, and told everyone with a smile that she also had to choose when buying fruit trees, and she would buy them if she saw one she liked, so everyone didn't need to be so enthusiastic.
After all, she didn't buy much, just two or three trees of the same kind.
How could the villagers believe her? They clearly regarded her as a fool and tried their best to persuade her to buy more.
"I'll sell it to you at a lower price!"
"That's right. You should plant more trees on such a wide field. Two or three trees are not enough."
After Qiao Xuan made her meaning clear, she stopped talking and just smiled.
She doesn't have the energy to talk endlessly with these people.
Fang couldn't stand it anymore and ordered everyone to leave.
However, she was also a little worried and couldn't help but remind Qiao Xuan: "Qiao, the weather is getting warmer now. The fruit trees are full of small fruits and leaves. If we dig them up and plant them again, I'm afraid they won't survive."
Qiao Xuan smiled: "Don't worry, mom, I know what's going on!"
Fang smiled when she saw this: "Okay, then I won't say any more."
In contrast to the weirdos of the second and third wives, in Fang's eyes, all her family members are good. Even though Xu is thoughtful, Fang thinks she is much better than the second and third wives. She has always been very tolerant towards her family members.
Qiao Xuan is dealing with her own money, and her mother-in-law will not force her to make decisions.
The next day, Shao Yunduan was supposed to go to the county academy, so he set out early in the morning.
Qiao Xuan asked Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao not to go with her to clear the weeds at the edge of the village, and asked them to help her dig holes in the garden to plant fruit trees.
Qiao Xuan plants fruit trees mainly for her own consumption, and also for daily recreation in the orchard, such as summer heat relief, swinging on the swings, barbecues, etc. Therefore, the fruit trees are planted relatively sparsely.
Although the ground was a bit hard, Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao, who were used to doing farm work, didn't find it difficult to dig a hole on it. At most, they just went a little slower.
Qiao Xuan originally wanted to help, but...in the end, she was really sorry, because she didn't know how to do it at all.
After each strike with the hoe, the ground didn't move at all; after two or three swings, she was so tired that she was out of breath, which made Shao Taotao and her brother and sister laugh secretly. They both told her to stop.
Qiao Xuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'll make you something delicious in the evening!" and didn't insist.
Qiao Xuan planned the orchard on the edge of the land, which is about four acres. She only planned to plant about thirty to forty trees on one acre, and about one hundred trees on three acres. She also planned to plant grapes, watermelons and the like on one acre, which would be enough for food.
It's enough for drying preserved fruits, making jam, etc.
It is naturally impossible to plant so many at once, but she happened to have supernatural powers, so she planned to ask traveling merchants to get some longan, lychee, mango, jackfruit, and Hami melon from the border areas from other places or even the south to give it a try.
Maybe with the help of supernatural powers, these fruit trees can survive.
