Chapter 404 Forget about Becoming a Disciple
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "Yes."
Lu Jing turned around suddenly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "Will grafting tea trees allow two types of tea to grow on the same tree?"
"Can we graft several species of trees together? One tree can have many flavors?"
Gu Xixi admired Lu Jing's forward-thinking.
Because her idea can indeed be realized to a certain extent using modern agricultural technology.
Gu Xixi said, "Use the high-position grafting method to graft different species onto the same rootstock."
“It is possible to grow leaves, flowers and fruits at the same time.”
"However, this does not help fruit trees to bear fruit as quickly as possible and increase production, and is not suitable for large-scale promotion at present."
"Another situation is to update the varieties and graft them on layer by layer."
"In this way, perhaps several species can be counted from the trunk of a tree."
"But the fruit that grows in the end can only be the top, newest variety."
Lu Jing grew up in a tea garden and is no complete novice when it comes to farming.
Grafting, variety.
As she listened to some unfamiliar words, the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Just like a little bee that has been flying for a long time, it finally found the best nectar it has been searching for all its life.
Lu Jing grabbed Gu Xixi fiercely, "Xixi! Grafting is so interesting! It's so great to meet you in this life!!"
"Huh?" Gu Xixi was still in shock.
Lu Jing took a deep breath, his expression solemn as if he was swearing to a god.
"Xixi, I have thought about what I want to do."
"I want to take you as my master and learn the art of grafting!"
Gu Xixi was silent for a moment, "This... is not impossible."
Except for some of her own experimental data which remain confidential.
She never thought of keeping basic techniques like grafting secret.
Besides, it is better to teach someone how to fish than to give him fish.
When Gu Xixi promised to take Lu Jing back to the Northwest, she also planned to let Lu Jing learn a skill in the future.
This way, no matter if Lu Jing doesn't want to work with her anymore in a few years or gets married and starts a family.
If you have a skill, you can always support yourself.
Gu Xixi said, "It's just that learning agricultural techniques is very hard."
"It's not just about learning theory, it's also about doing it in practice, doing more and practicing more."
"Working in the fields all day, exposed to the wind and sun, your hands are worn rough, can you handle it?"
Lu Jing smiled, "Have you forgotten that I am also a farmer's daughter?"
She paused, "My parents didn't want me to work in the fields, so they raised me like a girl from the city."
"I just hope you can find a good husband for me."
"In the first half of my life, I depend on my parents and my husband. In the second half of my life, I depend on my husband and my children."
"At that time, I also felt that this was how my life should be,"
"But who could have imagined that such an incident would happen?"
“I was forced to rely on myself.”
“I began to realize in desperate situations that taking that step wasn’t that difficult after all.”
When talking about the past, Lu Jing's expression became a little gloomy.
But she soon smiled again.
"But Xixi, you have truly convinced me that women can also be someone I can rely on."
"Women can earn a living and stand on their own in this world."
"Just like what so many men in the world do every day."
Lu Jing's eyes were filled with tears, but her smile was extremely bright.
Gu Xixi was also moved. After a moment, she said, "In the future, we will prepare for the tea garden, select tree species, graft and plant. There will be a lot of work to do. As long as you are not afraid of hard work, it will be fine."
Lu Jing was overjoyed, "Xixi, you promised to teach me?"
"Oh no, you should call me Master!"
Gu Xixi waved her hands with a headache, "Forget about becoming my disciple."
"Just follow my instructions as usual and learn as you go along."
Being an apprentice was already enough to make the old doctor worry and sigh.
I really don't want to suffer the same punishment as accepting a disciple.
Lu Jing was a little disappointed, "Is that so..."
"Those who work as apprentices outside learn while working. The master provides food and accommodation, but does not pay wages."
"After completing his studies, the apprentice must work for the master for at least three years for free."
Lu Jing frowned, "We have the same conditions, but you don't want me to work for nothing and you pay me such a high salary."
"Xixi, if you keep doing things like this, you will suffer!"
Gu Xixi looked at her with a smile, "You should worry about yourself."
"Who would help their boss find ways to exploit themselves?"
"Don't leave me in the future, or you'll be cheated by others."
Lu Jing said unhappily, "What do you mean I should leave you?"
"I said I'll depend on you for the rest of my life, don't even think about getting rid of me!"
The two were arguing when Mrs. Qin came over and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? It's so noisy."
"Come and have a rest and eat some fruit. Gou Wa's father just picked them at noon."
Gu Xixi and Lu Jing looked over and saw that Mrs. Qin's hands were full of apricots.
When the wheat is yellow, the apricots are red.
The apricots are just beginning to ripen.
Because it is a wild tree growing on the back mountain, the fruits are small and the skin is still a little green.
Mrs. Qin said, "I know your daughter likes cleanliness, so I have washed it all."
The reason for this is that ordinary country people would pick the fruits from the apricot tree and eat them directly.
Those who are more particular will just wipe off the dust with their hands.
Anyway, there is no such thing as air pollution, heavy metals, or pesticide residues at this time.
Gu Xixi ate one, it tasted sweet and sour, although not as sweet as a ripe one.
But it also has a unique flavor.
Lu Jing frowned and smiled, "Sour! But delicious!"
Mrs. Qin's mouth was watering as she watched, and she couldn't help but eat it herself.
Seeing her do it one after another, it seemed like she was not afraid of getting angry at all.
Lu Jing exclaimed, "Look at how delicious my sister-in-law is eating."
"If I hadn't tasted it, I would have thought you were eating sweet apricots."
Mrs. Qin smiled sheepishly and said, "I prefer sour food recently."
"I had saved this for you guys, but I'm almost done with it."
Gu Xixi stared at Mrs. Qin and suddenly thought of something, "Sister-in-law, you are not..."
She lowered her eyes and looked meaningfully at Mrs. Qin's belly.
Mrs. Qin nodded and lowered her voice secretly and proudly, "I didn't have my period this month."
"And the feeling in my body is exactly the same as when I had the puppy."
"I guess it's accurate."
"But before you're really sure, don't tell anyone else. Just the two of you know it."
Lu Jing was still confused, "What's the deal?"
Gu Xixi said, "Mrs. Qin might be pregnant."
Lu Jing suddenly realized and was sincerely happy for Sister-in-law Qin, "Sister-in-law is having a baby, congratulations!"
Gu Xixi also smiled and congratulated Mrs. Qin.
After Mrs. Qin gave birth to Gou Wa, there was no news for many years.
Now the couple has finally got what they wished for.
but……
Gu Xixi looked at Mrs. Qin's face without any expression, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law and Brother Qin, why don't you come to my house tonight and let my master take your pulse? Then we can confirm the good news."
Mrs. Qin said happily, "Oh, how could I have forgotten. Now our village has its own miracle doctor."
"Why would I make blind guesses about taking a pulse?"
