As winter was drawing to a close that year, the village chief brought back some news.
This refers to what Liang Huaisheng once told us.
Individuals can contract out mountain forests.
Xiao Xiao was the first to sign up.
Moreover, they had already chosen a location, a small hill next to Misty Mountain.
Although it's called a small hill, if you were to count it in acres, it would be several thousand acres.
Fan Tiesheng always looked up to Xiao Xiao and the others, and he also contracted a mountain ridge, though it wasn't as big as theirs.
The rest of the village were still laughing at them, calling them stupid.
Those mountains can't be used to grow crops, so what's the point of contracting them out?
Yuan Shitou is a man who values ​​brotherhood very much.
I talked to a few of my good friends and told them about my plans.
If they're willing, they can go to the village chief to contract it out.
Anyway, their Laolin Village has plenty of everything except mountains.
But none of his buddies were as bold as him, and none of them were willing to listen to him.
The village chief is a very perceptive person.
Seeing how generous Xiaoxiao and the others were, he also took on a portion of the project himself.
The mountain forest has been contracted, but Xiaoxiao hasn't decided what to plant yet.
They had no choice but to go down the mountain to find Uncle Lin and ask him to inquire about any rare fruit tree seedlings they could get.
I also asked Luo Qing to help me inquire.
Uncle Lin did not disappoint Xiao Xiao.
They actually found him several thousand orange trees and several thousand jujube trees.
That's all.
Luo Qing replied, saying he could get 5,000 peach trees and asked if she wanted them.
Xiao Xiao asked Fan Tiesheng if he wanted a peach tree, and then she would give it to him.
Fan Tiesheng nodded, "Then I'll plant peaches."
Before the saplings arrived, Xiaoxiao asked someone to help cut down trees and dig holes.
These mountains are generally barren, with few trees on them.
It's relatively quick to chop.
Of course, these trees still belong to the production team.
The village chief also asked someone to help him get several thousand pear trees.
Anyway, everyone grows different varieties.
It also missed the harvest season.
By the time all the trees have been planted, the year will have basically passed.
The barren hills near Xiaoxiao's home still have a lot of empty space without any saplings.
Fan Tiesheng's family also had some left, but not much.
Just as he was slightly worried about where to get saplings, Liang Huaisheng had someone bring him two large sacks of walnuts.
These walnuts aren't for them to eat; they're for Xiaoxiao to cultivate and grow herself.
Xiao Xiao was more than happy to have it.
Walnuts are a great food, and they keep well.
It has many uses. How come she didn't think of that?
Yuan's mother was a little worried: "Xiaoxiao! How are we going to plant these walnuts?"
We don't know how either.
"They're not going to just dig a hole and bury it, are they?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I know how to plant walnuts."
She used to help cultivate walnut seedlings at her grandfather's place.
However, the process is a bit slow, but she's not in a hurry anyway.
The next day, Xiaoxiao took the original stone and planted all the walnuts in her private plot.
She dared not expose herself to the outside.
If she's not careful, someone might dig her up and eat her, and she'll be at a huge loss.
Every day, I'm always busy taking care of Xiaoxiao.
He was still taking notes in a small notebook, maintaining the demeanor of a technician.
It has to be said that Liang Huaisheng really understands what Xiaoxiao and the others are thinking.
They not only sent walnut seeds.
I also sent them several books about fruit cultivation.
It records the characteristics of various fruits and the diseases they are prone to.
He loves this book so much that he flips through it every day until he knows it by heart.
When he has free time, he calls on the Fan family twins to study together.
Behind them, of course, were their two younger sisters.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye. The walnut seedlings have already sprouted.
Moreover, the germination rate is quite high.
Even if we planted all the empty spaces with walnut trees, there would still be plenty of seedlings left.
Xiao Xiao spread the word that anyone who wanted to plant walnut seedlings should go to her place to dig them up.
As a result, not only did no one in the village go to dig, but some even laughed at them.
They said that those barren mountains were covered with nothing but trees and weeds, so how could they possibly bear fruit?
The soil there is usually not thick; underneath is mostly rock, with very little soil.
Looking at the remaining walnut seedlings, I consulted with Xiaoxiao every day:
Or we could contract another small mountain and plant walnut trees all over it.
After some consideration, I think it's not a bad idea.
Since they've already planted so much, why bother with a little more?
So they went to the village chief and rented a small hill nearby.
The remaining fruit seedlings were just enough to cover the small hill.
All that's left is management and waiting.
Fan Tiesheng planted apple trees in the spare space at his home.
Uncle Lin helped get these saplings again.
Now, the younger ones are more proactive than the older ones, spending every day going back and forth on the mountains to check on the progress.
One minute it's time to weed, the next it's time to water, and then it's time to fertilize.
Anyway, we spend all day wandering around the mountains.
Days passed by, and one day Xiaoxiao and her friends received a telegram from Yuan Ping'an.
They said they would get married next March.
Liang Huaisheng helped organize the wedding.
It will definitely be held in Beijing.
I hope their whole family can go.
Not long after, Liang Huaisheng's telegram arrived.
They were talking about the same thing.
Yuan's mother grinned from ear to ear, telling everyone she met, "My son Ping An is getting married, and we're all invited."
Everyone else congratulated them happily.
After all, Yuan Ping'an was someone the villagers had watched grow up.
That child was both well-behaved and sensible.
It's not annoying at all.
Those who know the story won't hesitate to offer a "congratulations."
After her initial joy, Yuan's mother faced another dilemma.
She really wanted to be part of her eldest grandson's wedding, but it was such a long journey, who would take care of the family while she was away?
Xiao Xiao was also anxious about this, and the children insisted on going no matter what.
They've been saying they'd go to their older brother's wedding for a long time.
It's impossible to get them to stay and watch the house.
If you ask the children to go, they won't go.
That won't do either.
After all, they are considered Ping An's elders.
I've thought about it a lot, but there's nothing I can do.
Yuan Shitou said, "Why don't I stay home and guard the house, and you guys go ahead?"
Although that's what he said, he still wanted to go.
The most important point is that he doesn't want to be separated from Xiaoxiao for so long.
Fan Ming, who was standing to the side, said, "Hey, what's the big deal? Why are you so worried about it?"
Your whole family should go; leave the housekeeping to us brothers.
Don't worry, we promise to protect your home; not even a single feather will be lost.
Her eyes lit up: That's right, how come she didn't think of those two boys?
These two boys know their family so well they're practically living there.
It would be wonderful if we could have them help guard the house.
Turning to look at Mrs. Yuan, Mrs. Yuan smiled and nodded:
"Then I'll have to trouble A-Ming and A-Liang."
Fan Ming looked at Sisi, his face slightly flushed.
"No trouble at all, Grandma, please don't say that."
We're all family, so we don't need to speak like strangers.
