Chapter 28
Coming out of Lin's mother's house, the outside is paved with floor tiles. On the right is a tassel tree that Lin Nanzhi bought. The tree is so big that it takes three people to hug it. This is a national second-level protected tree. The flowers it blooms are like cotton, very white, and from a distance you might think it's a cloud.
It symbolizes women's rights and independence. It blooms in April every year. Now is the flowering season and it is very beautiful.
This tree is not for sale. There are only some seeds. Lin Nanzhi planted it in a space and irrigated it with spring water until it grew so big. He then planted it here, so the flowering period will be longer.
In order to protect the plants and prevent them from being bumped or touched by people, they were surrounded by imitation wooden iron railings to make a round cool chair. When the sun is strong, you can sit under the tree to enjoy the cool air and smell the fragrance of the flowers, which is a unique experience.
On the left is a stone bridge. In order to prevent children from falling, an iron guardrail has been added to the riverside. Opposite the bridge is an orchard, with a greenhouse in front and fruit trees in the back.
There is a fence along the road, covered with roses. There is a door next to the bridge for entry. The ten strawberries are near the roadside.
I walked into a greenhouse, which was full of green strawberry seedlings. Big red strawberries were hanging from the ground, and there were also some green strawberries.
She took the basket and started picking, only choosing large, ripe strawberries. Soon she had filled a basket, probably weighing about seven or eight kilograms, and then turned around and went home.
When I got home, I changed my shoes, put on slippers, took the strawberries to the kitchen, washed them, put them on a fruit plate and brought them to the living room: "Auntie, Auntie, eat some strawberries."
"Okay, thank you."
Lin Nanzhi just nodded, then went back into the kitchen, changed his shoes, and took two or three baskets to the orchard, where he found Lin Nanxun and a few others entering the strawberry garden.
I guess it was Lin's father who asked someone to pick them!
Lin Nanzhi just took a look and continued walking forward, not planning to say hello. She didn't come here to pick strawberries this time, but to eat cherries and apples.
If she remembered correctly, cherries and apples were the same, both ripened from May to July. Now it was already April, so they must have borne fruit. Wouldn't it be ripe if she just poured some spiritual spring water on them?
The others can also be watered a little, picked and sold when they are ripe in advance, and they may even bear fruit a second time.
When they arrived at the cherry orchard, they found that the cherries were indeed in season. Lin Nanzhi then found a few trees, casually picked up half a cup and left it alone, instead going to the cherry orchard.
The cherries had also ripened, but they were still green in color. She watered a few of them with spiritual spring water and waited for a few minutes, and the cherries had all turned red. She quickly picked a basket of cherries and put one in her mouth, feeling the cherry flesh bursting in her mouth and the sweet and sour juice going down her throat. She immediately squinted her eyes in happiness.
In the past, she would get very annoyed every year when the cherry season came. Although the price of cherries in Wumeng was not as exaggerated as in other provinces, it was still 38 yuan per pound when it was expensive, and would not be less than 18 yuan when it was cheap.
Every time I eat cherries, I feel so sad. I spent more than a hundred dollars, but it feels like I finish them in just a few minutes. I can't enjoy them at all.
Now, we have cherries grown at home and can eat them as much as we want. They are much more delicious than those sold on the market. I am so happy.
Thinking of this, Lin Nanzhi ate another one.
A cherry is the size of a ping-pong ball, sour and sweet, and juicy. It takes two or three bites to finish one. While eating, he took out his phone and called Lin Nanxun: "Do you want to eat cherries? Some are ripe. Bring a basket and pick them."
"I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nanzhi picked a basket of cherries before walking out. He came to the cherry tree that had just been watered with spiritual spring water. Looking at the red cherries, he couldn't help swallowing.
This cherry is a local cherry. Normally it is only the size of a marble. After being nourished by the spiritual spring water, it is now as big as an original cherry and its color is very rosy.
She picked a few and ate them first, then started picking more with the basket.
The fruit trees are very large. In order to ensure that the fruits cannot be reached when picking, the branches are hung down by stones. You can just reach out and pick the fruits without any effort.
After picking for a while, Lin Nan came over with a basket. Lin Nanzhi said, "Do you want cherries or cherries? The cherries are over there, not far away."
Lin Nanxun also wanted to eat cherries, but he didn't miss out on cherries either. He brought two baskets with him. He first picked a handful of cherries to satisfy his hunger, and then took the baskets to the cherries.
Let’s go pick cherries first!
Lin Nanzhi ignored him and quickly filled the basket with fruits. He then carried the fruits back home, washed them, put them on a fruit plate, sent some to the living room, and packed the rest into several portions.
One was given to Lin Nanxuan, one was given to Lin Nanye, one was given to Grandma Lin, and the last one was eaten by himself.
However, Lin Nanxuan fell asleep, so Lin Nanzhi had to send them all to Lin Nanye.
"Can you eat it now?" Lin Nanye was drawing in the room. She was a little surprised when she saw Lin Nanzhi coming in with some fruits.
"Some trees ripened their fruits earlier. I saw them and picked some. They are quite sweet. Try them."
"It's quite big!" Lin Nanye picked up a cherry and started eating it. Lin Nanzhi put down the fruit plate and said, "Then enjoy it, big brother. I won't bother you anymore!"
She waved her hand and left quickly. She did not return to her room, but went back to the greenhouse to turn on the computer. Eating cherries while typing, this is life!
After a while, Lin Nanxuan seemed to wake up from the smell. She came to the greenhouse and saw that there were only two left, so she asked, "Are there any more?"
"Yes, in the garden."
Lin Nanxuan wanted to eat, and Lin Nanzhi wanted to eat too. The two of them took their baskets and went to the orchard, but found that there were many people on the mountain, and they didn't know what they were doing. Lin Nanxuan took a look, then looked away and said, "They are probably here to relocate the graves."
The mountain was contracted to the Lin family, and all the land was sold. The tombs on the mountain were contracted and the Lin family had no control over them, but the tombs that were purchased would definitely have to be relocated, as we had discussed before.
Several family members have moved and have been given money. Some family members are not at home, probably because they have returned and come to the relocation cemetery.
Thinking of this, Lin Nanzhi took out his phone, found a friend and sent a message: "Have all the burial sites in the circled area on the mountain been relocated?"
Soon the other party replied: "There is another family."
"Which location?"
“A location close to the lake.”
"Then let's get the roads and parking lots ready first."
"Okay, boss."
Lin Nanzhi plans to turn the lake on the bridge into a tourist area. He asked Lin's father to buy the land and also hired someone to negotiate the relocation of tombs and construction. Originally, he planned to start construction this summer, but there is only one tomb, so it can be moved forward.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong in getting it done early.
"Let's go, where are you?"
"Over there!" Lin Nanzhi pointed to a place and walked over, and Lin Nanxuan followed immediately.
There are three trees ripening, and all of them are laden with fruits. Lin Nanzhi and Lin Nanxun just picked the fruits but they haven't finished picking any of the trees yet, there are still many left on the trees.
