Not all people are fools.
Seeing that she was fine, Zhao Youwei planned to go out. Recently, he felt more and more that there was something wrong with Ge Mei, and her words and actions were inexplicable.
"Xiao Qi, count them. There are a total of one hundred tea seedlings, and twenty yuan." Captain Ling Hanfang handed over the account book in his hand.
This girl is really bold. This matter has just passed, and she dared to do these things. She also secretly signed a contract, saying that she would contract the back mountain for 70 years without destroying it...
He got the tea saplings with the help of an acquaintance.
Meng Qidi signed the account and handed over the money for the saplings. "Village Chief, what do you think?"
Ling Hanfang sighed, "Let's talk about this later. Aren't you asking for trouble at this critical moment? Besides, you still have to go out to study."
"What about my tea trees? They were all wasted."
Ling Hanfang was helpless. "Don't you just want to plant the area behind the bamboo forest? That's enough. It's yours anyway. Why bother to pay for the contract?"
Meng Qidi said, "Uncle, do you mean what you said? Don't let my tea grow in the future and everyone in the village want it."
"Of course, these were originally allocated to your family, so they are valid."
The captain explained everything clearly and went back. Meng Qidi irrigated the tea trees with well water and placed them in a shady place. They had to wait until a hole was dug before they could take the tea to the back mountain to pick it.
It was still early, so she carried about twenty saplings in a basket, held Xiaochengzi in her arms and took a hoe to dig a hole behind the bamboo forest.
The long distance from east to west can be covered by three rows of pits.
Meng Qidi didn't dare to dig too close to the bamboo forest as it would block the sunlight, which would naturally be bad for the tea trees.
Of course, if conditions do not permit, there is no need to expose the tree to the sun all day long. Tea trees are delicate shrubs and need both sunlight and sufficient rain.
She chose a place with loose soil that could get sunlight, put Little Orange on a rock not far away and sat on it, then she started digging a hole.
The girl was used to sitting like this while working with her aunt. She held a pen and paper in her hands and drew stroke by stroke in great detail, laughing as she drew. As for what she drew, probably only the little girl herself knew.
Three pits were dug side by side. After Meng Qidi finished digging the three pits, she buried the soaked tea trees she brought in them.
She had to use a lot of strength. Although the land was barren, there was nothing there except some weeds. Meng Qidi started digging holes at a pretty fast speed. She finished digging twenty tea trees in an hour.
Picking up the sleepy Ling Cheng and her confused ghost painting, Meng Qidi planned to go get some tea trees and bring up two buckets of water.
When she got home, Wang Jinhua had already returned and was washing vegetables by the well. Seeing her daughter-in-law coming back with her granddaughter, she quickly stood up, wiped the water off, and took her over. "Fall asleep?"
Meng Qidi handed the person over and said, "Well, carry him inside. I'll be back after I deal with the trees."
Meng Qidi picked up the bucket under the eaves and poured the dirty water from washing vegetables into it. After getting two buckets of water, she put all the soaked tea leaves into the backpack. She carried the backpack and held the buckets in both hands and went towards the back mountain.
Wang Jinhua looked at the girl trying to be stubborn with some heartache, and she didn't want to use those dirty people to annoy Xiao Qi anymore.
When they arrived at the back mountain, Meng Qidi watered the tea trees with well water and continued to dig holes and plant trees.
This patch of tea trees is irrigated with well water. As long as no one pulls them out maliciously, she can pick the tea when she comes back after graduating from college, even if no one is taking care of them.
However, she has to go to the mountains to look for old tea trees tomorrow. Compared to these tea trees, she would rather get a few old tea trees and plant them on the western cliff.
Meng Qidi finished planting a hundred tea trees before dark, and even came back to fetch a few buckets of water.
"Finished?" Old man Zhao was drinking tea. When he saw his apprentice coming back, he glanced at him and said, "Why are you working so hard? You still have time tomorrow."
"Tomorrow will have tomorrow's things to do. Time is money, and money can't buy time." Meng Qidi put down the bucket, hoe and backpack and walked to the well.
Ling Jinyue hurriedly helped to press the water well, "Sister-in-law, we filled the house with soil today."
"All filled up?" Meng Qidi washed her hands and looked at the old man in surprise, "Old man, why are you working so hard? Let's do it tomorrow..."
"You have no respect for your elders. Didn't you say that time is money? We also have something to do tomorrow." Old Man Zhao rolled his eyes at her.
Meng Qidi...
Seeing that she didn't seem to be busy, Old Man Zhao sat down with a cup of tea and asked, "Have you finished with the tea trees? Do you have anything else to do tomorrow?"
"I plan to go into the mountains to look for old tea trees tomorrow. What's the matter?" Meng Qidi wiped her hands and asked suspiciously.
"I'm going to start watering the soil tomorrow. Would you like to come and see?"
Meng Qidi shook her head. "Go ahead and give me the data when you're done. The weather will be fine tomorrow, but I can't say for sure about the next few days."
Old man Zhao sighed, "You are lazy."
Knowing that this girl didn't really want to learn farming from him, Old Man Zhao felt a little depressed.
Meng Qidi glanced at him, feeling a little reluctant, and said, "I'll try to come back this afternoon."
She also wants to go to the provincial and municipal governments to buy information the day after tomorrow.
Old man Zhao waved his hand and said, "No hurry, no hurry, go inside and eat first, safety is important."
He suddenly felt that he shouldn't force this girl. A forced melon is not sweet. He and Xiaoqi are tied together by interests. How could she be sincere?
Meng Qidi looked at him suspiciously. Her stomach was empty, and she didn't bother to figure out what he was doing.
Early the next morning, Meng Qidi put a hatchet on her waist, carried a hoe and went directly to the back mountain. She didn't bring anyone with her, but she did bring Dahuang.
Based on the location given by the old lady and the location inquired by Jin Yue, Meng Qidi was not sure how far she had to go.
Soon we found the location that Jin Yue had asked about at the old reservoir. The tea tree was not very big, only about two meters tall.
Wild tea trees are different from artificially cultivated ones. They have lush branches and leaves that are crisscrossed.
Meng Qidi picked up a hoe and started digging. The roots of the tree were deep and it was a bit difficult to dig. She was also afraid of damaging the roots, so it took her an hour to pull out the tea tree completely.
It was definitely unrealistic to drag it back like this, so Meng Qidi threw it directly into the open space and led Da Huang towards the next target.
In fact, she didn't have much hope for the tea tree behind. The old lady said that when her eyes were intact thirty years ago, she went to the mountains every day to look for food. She had no other choice but to eat tree bark when she was very hungry.
Meng Qidi sighed.
It would be a pity if you could find one.
The man and the dog walked deeper and deeper into the back mountain, but they never saw the tea plant that Wang Jinhua mentioned, let alone the mountain spring water she mentioned.
A lot of wild fruits were brought into the space, such as sour dates, kiwis, wild chestnuts, pecans, and even a lot of yams were dug up.
If we go too deep, Xiangwu will definitely not be able to make it back.
The food was still hot after being taken out from the space, so the man and the dog simply sat down and ate their fill.
