Chapter 99 Planting Trees



After Dahua recovered, he was left with scars on his body, especially his arms, which looked like they were crawling with flesh centipedes. They were scary when exposed.

Fortunately, he didn't care at all. Instead, he was happier than before.

After being discharged from the hospital, he told his squad leader Wang Dong that he would no longer work in the brick factory, and Wang Dong expressed his understanding.

Including Xiao Lazi, Dahua has saved three lives. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. We don’t know whether he was moved by the gods, but Director Zhao was moved.

Dahua is an honest and kind young man!

Director Zhao's family finally accepted Liang Dahua. The family happily came to see the beams. The newly built house had a large yard, many rooms, and thick beams. Director Zhao nodded his head as he saw it.

"Dahua, our Xiaojuan is older than you. A woman who is three years older than you is a treasure. We should discuss things with you in the future."

Director Zhao was standing in the Liang family yard with his hands behind his back. He didn't even walk in last time, but this time he was standing here again. Maybe this was fate.

People who are destined to be together are inseparable after all.

Erhua and Dahua held their engagement parties one after another. Over the past month, Liang Genfa's family has been the most lively in the village.

After the engagement, the two families can visit each other frequently with a legitimate reason.

Dahua often went to Zhao Xiaojuan's house to find her. There was a piece of land outside her yard, which was a private plot allocated by the village. Several people in the family had to go out to work, so the land had been left idle and the weeds had grown almost as tall as a person!

"Why don't you go outside and take a look? There are more trees being planted next door."

Sun Qin pushed Director Zhao. The old man was about to put his mouth close to the cup to drink some hot tea, but his hand shook and his mouth was burned and felt a burning sensation.

"Hey, I'm just planting, why are you pushing me?"

"What do you mean by planting? Plant! They're planting trees one by one on our land! They've stolen all our land!"

Sun Qin was very angry. Although no one in her family grows crops, if you really want to grow them, I can lend them to you. But I can't tolerate you growing some in secret like this.

What is land to farmers? It is gold!

"What can I do? We don't have anyone to farm, so just let them do it."

After Director Zhao finished speaking, he put his mouth close to the cup again. Sun Qin snatched the cup away in anger and poured out all the tea inside.

At this moment, Dahua was peeling peanuts for Xiaojuan. He thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, why don't I do the farming? I'm pretty good at farming at home.

I come here every now and then to clean up and grow some vegetables so that my family can have fresh food.”

The old couple thought this was a good idea and agreed to it. Dahua's move not only solved the problem of neighbor encroachment, but also provided some fresh vegetables for Xiaojuan's family. The most important thing was that he could come every now and then, which was a three-pronged approach!

Dahua did what he said and pulled out all the weeds in the field that day. He also built a fence next to the trees planted by his neighbor.

When Sun Qin saw the fence, she felt so happy.

The land was cleared and sown in one go. Zhao Xiaojuan was responsible for watering the land every day, and Dahua would come to check on it every now and then. Soon, the seedlings grew.

"Dahua is really good at farming, great!"

Sun Qin is a mother-in-law who likes her prospective son-in-law more and more.

Dahua scratched his head and said modestly, "It's a pity that I can't make money from farming. I can only get some vegetables to eat myself."

"That's not true," Director Zhao said, standing aside, teacup in hand, a distance away from the landlady. "Someone from the city recently came and said they wanted to harvest our trees. But we either grow rice or vegetables here, not trees."

Dahua was watering the vegetables while listening to their conversation. He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Harvesting trees? Uncle, what trees do you want to harvest?"

Director Zhao slapped his head and said, "Oh, why didn't I think of this? There are no trees to plant! Isn't the person who can plant such a tree right in front of me?"

Dahua knew his future father-in-law was talking about him, so he decided to give it some thought. He then asked, "Can planting trees really make money? Then I'd love to plant them!"

"Yes, silly boy, they buy trees based on their age. They accept trees as small as saplings or as big as bowls. The money they pay for trees of different ages is also different!"

Upon hearing this, Dahua became interested. He had been doing farm work and harvesting rice at home recently. This was not a job to support his family, so he had to find something serious to do.

Dahua walked out of the field, picked up a branch and carefully scraped the mud off his yellow rubber shoes, then rubbed the soles of his shoes on the dry mud several times, and then followed Director Zhao into the house.

People come from the city to buy trees, mainly camphor trees. They accept trees of all ages, but the prices they offer are different. They also buy camellia trees, osmanthus trees, and gardenia trees. They don't want small flowering trees, they want those that are already able to bloom.

After an investigation in the county, it was found that all the villages were growing crops, and these trees were either planted with three or two trees in front of their homes. It was very troublesome to harvest them, and people were unwilling to sell them. The farmers said that the trees in front of their homes could not be dug up casually, as it would ruin the feng shui.

The future father-in-law and his future son-in-law decided that planting trees would yield better harvests than growing crops, so Dahua immediately decided not to go out to work and just plant trees at home.

"But I'm not sure, uncle. I can't climb over the tree!"

Dahua is an honest man who doesn't tell lies or brag. He can plant rice, rapeseed, and various vegetables at home, but he has never planted trees. He thinks planting trees is different from planting crops.

"Don't worry about that." Director Zhao's eyes sparkled with excitement. "The county is planning a small-scale pilot project and is preparing to train some tree planting experts. I'll sign you up when the time comes, so you can go and learn first!"

After I finish my studies, I will go to the county to buy seedlings. Of course, we will mainly buy camphor tree seedlings, but we will also buy various flower trees."

The more Dahua listened, the more excited he became. Planting trees is a good idea. It’s down-to-earth and is what he, Dahua, loves to do!

The two of them got along better and better as they talked, with an excited look on Dahua's face. At this moment, Zhao Xiaojuan came back from work and saw the old man and the young man chatting happily as soon as she entered the house.

Strange! This is the first time I’ve seen this!

"Dad, Dahua, what are you guys talking about so happily?"

Zhao Xiaojuan put the lunch box on the stove, took off the sleeves on her arms, patted them and hung them up. Dahua's eyes were glued to her from the moment she entered the house, following her from the front door to the kitchen, and from the kitchen to the living room.

"Oh, look, Dahua and I can't continue the conversation as soon as you come back." Director Zhao joked.

“Dad!”

Zhao Xiaojuan is so generous and beautiful when she acts coquettishly, without any pretentiousness or clinginess!

"Xiaojuan, you must be tired. Sit down!" Dahua stood up and poured her some water.

Director Zhao told Zhao Xiaojuan what they had discussed.

"What do you think?" Director Zhao was waiting to hear his daughter's opinion. After all, this matter concerned their future lives.

Zhao Xiaojuan thought seriously for a moment, took the water from Dahua, took a sip, and then said:

"If Dahua wants to plant it, it will definitely work."
