On the second day after moving in, Ning Xueling got up early to make breakfast for the family in order to show her virtue. Zhao Jianing had to follow her. Wei Zixiong had not yet found a job, and now the family relied on the money provided by the government after returning to the city.
The children of the Wei family were very rebellious, and Ning Xueling had no control over them. The youngest daughter even said, "You were originally the nanny that my dad hired for me."
Ning Xueling cried for a long time. After Wei Zixiong learned about the situation, he coaxed her for a long time and said that he would help her vent her anger. Then he sternly dragged his daughter out of the door, scolded her a few words, and let her go out to play with her classmates.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the end of March. After harvesting a season of grain in Luo Qiao's space, he cultivated fruit trees, pear trees, peach trees, apricot trees, plum trees, persimmon trees, jujube trees, grapes, and crabapple trees in the space.
About forty to sixty trees can be planted in one acre of land. Luo Qiao took a middle number and cultivated fifty trees. After they survived in the space, he moved them to the backyard and used his supernatural power to accelerate their growth. After two years, he harvested them.
This went on for more than ten days, and almost all the saplings needed were cultivated. Luo Qiao found a place in advance to store all the saplings.
Lu Yichen found a car and it took several trips to transport the saplings back to Qingshan Village. Then the villagers mobilized people to help plant the trees. They were paid five cents for each tree planted. It was a good job and one person should be able to plant fifty or sixty trees a day.
Because the land had been deeply plowed during reclamation, digging holes was not difficult. Luo Qiao had hired someone to build a canal and a reservoir before that.
A sluice gate was dug beside the pond, using real materials. When the gate is opened, water can flow into the reservoir through the canal. An outlet is left at the bottom of the reservoir, so it can be opened to irrigate the land whenever water is needed. It is very convenient.
Although there is an old saying that not all trees planted in spring will survive, the saplings provided by Luo Qiao are 100% safe and are more drought- and cold-resistant than trees planted by others.
By mid-April, all the 100 acres of land had been planted with trees. Luo Qiao also cultivated a large number of sea buckthorn trees and asked the villagers to help plant them around the 100 acres of land, leaving only one entrance. This would make it easier to manage the trees when they were bearing fruit.
Because the fruit trees would not yield any benefits in the short term, Luo Qiao asked people to help plant strawberries, watermelons, melons, and seasonal vegetables on the vacant land. The vegetable seeds and seedlings were all provided by Luo Qiao.
After everything was arranged, Luo Qiao went to the secretary's house and asked, "Is your aunt home?"
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "It cost a lot of money to clean it up, how could it be bad?"
Gao's eldest sister-in-law Song Jiao replied, "It's you. Who else would dare to do that? That's not a small amount of money. You are really brave."
Luo Qiao smiled and said: "Aunt, I want to find a few people to take care of my garden. If you have time, I can find you and three other people who are good at working to take care of it together.
I'll pay you 15 yuan a month for watering the fields when it's dry, pulling out weeds when they're thick, and picking the vegetables when they're ripe. It's just the kind of work that happens in the fields. I'll hire four people first, and if we're too busy later on, we'll hire more."
Aunt Gao said, "Working on your land is not tiring. Watering is very convenient, and the only thing you need to do is weeding. Okay, leave it to me. I'll find a woman and two men so that we can have labor when we need to weed. Men are always stronger than women."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Auntie."
Aunt Gao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you. But, after growing so many vegetables, can you sell them all?"
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I have found customers. I will come back in time to take away any ripe fruits and vegetables."
Feng Qiaohui, the second sister-in-law of the Gao family, said with a smile: "Sister Luo Qiao is amazing. She can arrange everything in advance."
