Chapter 234: To be rich, plant more trees
The villagers were shocked.
Every household is required to plant one hundred trees. What a huge project this is!
But even if you are so tired that your eyes are black, they are black with happiness!
They were crazy with joy.
That's a fruit tree!
A full one hundred fruit trees!
The villagers were dizzy.
Which village in Dayuchao has so many fruit trees?
Why is their Heihe Village always so extraordinary?
The villagers of Heihe Village rushed to the ancestral hall like a tide and lined up consciously.
"Listen up, folks! There are two kinds of fruit trees, one called apple and the other called peach! They're both grafted! You'll get fifty of each! Do you understand?"
"I understand!" everyone answered in unison.
The villagers were queuing up to receive the trees and having heated discussions.
"I heard that 'grafting and grafting can produce fruit in the same year'. This grafted fruit tree, as long as it is well cared for, will bear fruit in the same year!"
"Then we can eat apples and peaches this year, right?!"
As for what kind of fruit apples are or what kind of peaches are, no one cares at all.
You don’t have to think about it to know that the things given by Lord Xiaojiu are good things!
"Village head, where are we going to plant these fruit trees?"
After a while of excitement, someone suddenly thought of this problem.
Everyone was stunned.
"Yes, the mountains are all rocky and you can't grow fruit trees there!"
“There’s no land in the village to plant so many trees!”
The village head waved his hand, "Why worry about it! Master Xiaojiu said that if we want to plant trees, we should go to Wild Bear Ridge!"
"Ah!" The villagers were horrified. "Going to Wild Bear Ridge to plant fruit trees?"
"Why are you all still making such a fuss?" the village head said disdainfully, "It's as if you've never seen such a big scene before! With Master Xiaojiu here, what are you afraid of?"
"Yes!" The little baby came running over with his little feet tapping, followed by a majestic eagle.
"If you want more houses, plant more trees!" The little dumpling's voice was soft, but with a kind of power.
As soon as the little dumpling arrived, the villagers didn't dare to say anything even if they were worried.
Why?
The cow-catching incident is still fresh in our minds. Those who did not believe in Lord Xiaojiu suffered a great loss.
They must not suffer any more losses.
The villagers laughed and said, "If you want to be rich, plant more trees! Master Xiaojiu is right!"
"After planting these 20,000-plus fruit trees, will we still worry about our village not becoming prosperous?"
"Isn't it just Wild Bear Ridge? Let's go! We can't just guard the little piece of land in the village!"
"That's right! Our village has never made use of the Wild Bear Ridge area for so many years. It's time to expand our territory!"
The villagers quickly reached a consensus.
The village head said, "Since everyone agrees, let's all go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow morning, the whole village will go into the mountains to plant fruit trees together!"
"Good!" The villagers were enthusiastic.
…
The next day, except for the elderly who had lost their ability to work, almost all the villagers went up the mountain.
Even when they were digging canals to find water, there weren't so many people going up the mountain.
The cohesion of Heihe Village is no longer what it used to be.
Even though there are still some people in the village with poor personal ethics like Zhang the Widow Shuiqin, as long as it is a unified decision made by the village, no one will raise any objections.
After all, after experiencing so many things, even a fool would understand the truth that "those who follow the Little Nine will prosper, and those who go against the Little Nine will perish."
In Heihe Village, if you want to live a good life, you only need to do two things: be obedient.
"Master, we're going up the mountain! You'll have to work hard today!"
When passing by the school, the villagers greeted Zhao Xingjian who was standing at the door.
Today was supposed to be a holiday and we didn't have to go to school, but the adults had to go up the mountain, so the school had to become a temporary nursery.
"Master, the kids' lunch is warming up in the pot. Just let them go home and eat after school!"
"Master, let them go back to the academy after lunch and take a nap so they can go to martial arts class this afternoon!"
Zhao Xingjian: “…”
What's the difference between him, a teacher, and a mother?
But when I thought that the Regent also had to take care of the baby in the afternoon, I suddenly felt relieved.
"Got it, come back soon!"
…
After crossing two reddish-brown stone mountains, Wild Bear Ridge appeared before everyone.
Before the snowstorm, Ye Yanping led everyone to cut down trees nearby, so there were no deep forests in the mountains, only some small trees and bushes.
Looking at it this way, Wild Bear Ridge doesn’t seem so scary anymore.
The only worry is that if some ferocious beast suddenly jumps out of the forest, I may not be able to dodge it in time.
"Don't be afraid, let's clear the land first and light the bonfire as soon as possible. Wild animals are afraid of fire!" Ye Yanping said.
Everyone felt much more at ease and immediately got down to work.
Soon, all the nearby small trees and bushes were cut down, and the villagers gathered firewood and lit several bonfires.
After the blazing bonfire started burning, everyone felt much more relaxed and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Everyone started chatting and laughing while working.
The village head stood aside and gave orders.
"The women stayed where they were, digging holes and planting trees, while the men continued to clear the mountains. With so many trees, we need a lot of land!"
"Okay!" Everyone was full of energy.
Little Dumpling was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by voices.
"Dear! I'm awake! Give me a hug!" Thinking that he was in his own little bed, the little girl acted coquettishly to Yunniang as usual.
"Master Xiaojiu is awake?"
"Sleep so soundly!"
"Master Xiaojiu is such a good boy!"
Xiao Jiuer suddenly opened his eyes. What happened?
Why are there so many people around?
"My daughter, daddy will put you down!" Ye Yanping put the backpack on the ground.
Only then did Xiao Jiuer realize that she was lying in a small backpack, with a group of people around her looking at her with smiles.
Ouch, the little girl's face turned red. She was sleeping in front of so many people. How could she not care about her reputation?
Fortunately, Yunniang immediately picked her up from the backpack. When the little girl saw the nearby Wild Bear Ridge, she immediately became happy.
She opened her small voice and called out, "Wolf, Wolf! Come to the den!"
No one took it seriously.
Wild Bear Ridge is so big, how can the wolf be called out just by shouting?
As a result, less than half an incense stick of time passed when the howling of wolves suddenly sounded in the mountains.
The villagers' faces changed.
What if the wolves that come are not the same ones as before?
However, they soon discovered that their worries were unnecessary.
Ahead, the familiar white wolf appeared with a pack of wolves.
"Wolf, wolf!" Xiao Jiuer opened his arms and pounced on Yin Yan with a giggle.
Yin Yan raised his mouth and pushed the baby onto his back.
"Wolf, I miss you!" Xiao Jiuer lay on the wolf's back, stroking its snow-white and soft fur.
"Lord Mountain God!" The wolves bent their front knees.
"Get up!" Little Dumpling waved to the wolves.
"I will take you to play in the mountains and forests."
"Okay!"
Yin Yan turned around and carried Xiao Jiuer on his back as fast as lightning into the depths of the dense forest.
"Xiao Jiuer, come back!" the Ye family shouted.
But the wolves soon disappeared into the dense forest.
