Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 109 Uncle, I won’t die
Li Xiangqin didn't say anything, but Li Muyang still wouldn't notice.

Ever since he planted the vines in the ground that night, he had treated them like other trees without paying much attention to them.

Never cared about it.

When Li Xiangqin said this today, he found that it was true.

The other trees were already sprouting buds, but the grapevine didn't seem to be responding at all.

He hugged Nuan Nuan under the tree and let Nuan Nuan cool down, but Nuan Nuan hugged his neck and refused to let go.

She had no choice but to be forcefully dragged away by her mother.

Xiao Xingfu was so angry that he just circled around Li Muyang down there.

Li Muyang first observed the branches of the grape vine. The skin on the surface was a little cracked. He scraped it gently with his fingernail and found that the skin on the surface was indeed dry.

But the inner epidermis is still not completely dry.

Proof that it can still be saved.

This surprised him.

In theory, grapevines are actually easy to grow.

Grapevine propagation, whether through cuttings or grafting, is quite easy to survive.

The climate, temperature, and soil moisture and dryness of Longdong are also very suitable for grapevines to survive.

At present, there are not many grape vines planted by the villagers. In a few years, almost every family will have a grape trellis in the yard.

Not only can it be picked and eaten, but it is more like a kind of arrangement and decoration.

Every spring, the grapevines will spread out along the trellis, creating a green corridor in the yard. In summer, people can sit under the corridor and chat, do some needlework, or play chess or something like that.

There was no taste in my mouth, so I picked a few grapes and ate them. The grapes didn’t have any medicine anyway, so it didn’t matter if I ate them.

Li Muyang originally didn't think so much about the two vines.

He planned to carefully plan the layout of his yard after it was built.

When I bought these two jujube seedlings, I bought them out of sympathy for Mi Dama.

Plant it in the ground first, and then take cuttings or grafting when it is necessary to reproduce.

Unexpectedly, he was casual, and so were the vines.

I don’t want to give him a good life at all.

"Brother, look at it, I didn't treat them badly. How do I fertilize and loosen the soil for other trees? I didn't treat any of them, but they just don't live well. It's not my fault...

Is it true that the two seedlings you bought are dead? Have you been deceived by others? "

Li Xiangqin said next to him.

"Let me see."

Li Muyang knelt down and was not in a hurry.

What he planned to develop in his life was the orchard, and it was time to slowly restore the gardening skills he had been skilled in before and even mastered.

He squatted down, and Li Xiangqin followed suit. Nuan Nuan followed suit and squatted opposite them.

The three of them formed a zigzag shape to surround the vines.

Little Xingfu couldn't squeeze in, so he simply ran in between Li Muyang's legs and rolled in front of the three of them.

Li Muyang was too lazy to pay attention to it.

He dug under the vine and found that just as Li Xiangqin said, everything was indeed taken care of.

But, in a blink of an eye, he discovered a problem.

Suddenly shook his head.

"Brother, what happened?"

"I found the problem, it's not a big problem."

"What's the problem?"

"You watered it too much."

Li Muyang grabbed a handful of soil under the vine, spread his palms and said to his sister, "Look, the soil is too wet. Grapevines like slightly drier soil. They would rather have it a little drier than over-watered." many."

Li Muyang crushed the soil with his thumb and said, "Also, because you watered it too much, the soil is a bit compacted, and the grapevines like a looser environment, so it is difficult for them to adapt to this compacted soil. "

"There are so many ways to do it. I think the other trees are fine."

Li Muyang looked up at the other trees and nodded: "Actually, I can't blame you entirely for the watering problem. I just discovered that there is also a problem with the planting of this grape tree."

Li Muyang then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

When I was planting grape vines that night, in order to rush for time, I didn't notice that the sunlight in this location was too short every day.

Because of the shelter of the houses, the sun can only reach some light three poles above, but the sun will soon set in the west.

Grapevines need sunlight very much, and the time must be sufficient.

If it is lacking, even if the tree survives, it will be difficult to color for a while after it bears fruit.

Even if it is colored... if the sunshine time is short, the ordinary taste will be sour and not delicious at all.

Northern fruits pay more attention to sweetness.

Fruits from the South pay more attention to juiciness.

Therefore, when people describe fruits in the north, they say they are sweet and delicious, while the selling point of fruits in the south is that they are tender and juicy.

This is the influence of the environment.

Once northern fruits encounter a year with sufficient rainfall, the yield will be high, but the taste will not be good and the price will be much cheaper.

Similarly, if fruits from the south encounter drought, although they taste better, they contain very little juice and water, so they are also not liked by people and taste dry. This is why.

Anyone who likes to eat fruit knows this.

This is why when it comes to fruits such as cantaloupe, jujubes, apples, and pears that require high sweetness, the focus of promotion is "full sunshine in the Gobi Desert."

"Brother, do you think this can still be saved?"

Li Muyang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, you can stop watering it from today on, and loosen the soil for it every few days. I guess it should be alive in a week."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but it's not suitable to plant these two grapevines here. When they are about to sprout, this location won't see the sun, and the grapevines won't be able to flourish, and there won't be any good harvests." "Then what? What to do?"

"Let it come back to life first. When it grows bigger, we can just cut it again. If it doesn't work, we can also graft it onto other trees. These are small things, don't worry too much."

"That's good, I thought it was me."

Li Xiangqin was still frightened.

She was a bit manipulated by Liu Xiaogang, so that she sometimes felt unconfident at the bottom of her character, and it was easy to attribute the cause of problems to herself.

"By the way, brother, how was your blind date today? I forgot to ask you just now."

Li Xiangqin suddenly remembered the important point.

"What do you say?"

Li Muyang was in a good mood and gave it a try.

Everyone knew that he was going on a blind date today, so they were all very concerned about it, and he took the trouble to share the good news about good progress with his relatives.

Let everyone be happy too.

Li Xiangqin tilted her head and looked at Li Muyang, and said with a smile: "It must be very good."

"How did you know?"

"Through observation, look at you, the corners of your mouth are stretched to your ears, Lehe can't hold it down. Tell me quickly, what are you doing... Hey, brother, what's wrong with your legs? Why did you wrap it up? Are you injured?"

"A little scratch."

Li Muyang stood up and said, "Come on, let's go back to the house. I'll tell you and my mother together. I won't have to say it again."

"Is there really nothing wrong with your legs? Do you want me to find some disinfectant powder for you?"

Disinfectant powder is an anti-inflammatory drug, white powder, widely used here.

Generally, people don't care about small wounds. They just press it with their hands to prevent bleeding.

For slightly more serious wounds, I would go to the corner to find a spider web, knead it into a ball, and apply it on the wound.

Or just grab some fine foam of loess and put it on the wound, which will stop the bleeding in a short time.

If the wound is really big, anti-inflammatory powder will be used.

Sprinkle the powder directly onto the wound and wrap it with gauze, and it will heal quickly.

The efficacy of medicines in this era, regardless of whether they have side effects, are just as effective.

"It's really nothing. I'm just riding my bike back. What can happen? Let's go back to the house."

"Well, don't hold on yourself."

"I know, your brother still needs you to remind him, think about who brought you up?"

"Chuck~"

When Li Xiangqin smiles, she looks very much like Nuan Nuan.

But it's just not as cute as Nuannuan.

"Uncle, give me a hug."

"Be obedient, didn't you see that uncle's leg is injured? He's walking alone. He's over four years old. Why should he hug me?"

Li Xiangqin grabbed her daughter and told her not to continue to burden Li Muyang.

"Oh."

Nuannuan secretly looked at the bandage on Li Muyang's leg from behind her mother's leg. She hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Three people and one dog walked towards Yuan Rufeng's room.

Li Muyang walked for a while and found that Nuan Nuan was silent and a little uncomfortable.

This little guy is very talkative and keeps chattering.

Are you angry because you didn't hug her just now?
Looking down, I realized that Nuan Nuan was secretly wiping tears.

Suddenly felt distressed.

He quickly stopped and bent down to ask the child: "Nuan Nuan, why are you crying? Do you think uncle didn't hug you? How about uncle hug you?"

"Brother, just spoil her!"

Li Xiangqin complained on the side.

People say that a loving mother often loses her son. You, as an uncle, play the bad side all the time, so let me play the good side.

It’s really “abominable”!
Nuannuan's little mouth was flat, and she said pitifully: "Uncle, you can't die."

"Death, how could I die?"

Li Muyang was stunned.

"Nuan Nuan, you kid, what are you talking about?"

Li Xiangqin hurriedly pulled Nuan Nuan aside and scolded her in her voice.

This is an unlucky word. Rural people attach great importance to this, and it is still said by the younger generation to the elders.

"It doesn't matter, Qinqin, don't scare the child."

Li Muyang disagreed. He had already taken life and death very lightly now, and he would not care about such rhetoric.

He asked Nuan Nuan with a smile, "How could uncle die? Look at how alive uncle is."

"Liar, I saw it on a white cloth, wrapped in strips of cloth, and someone would kill him with a gun in a moment."

what? !

Li Muyang and Li Xiangqin looked at each other, confused for a moment, before suddenly reacting.

It turns out that the plot of the movie was what the child was talking about.

These days, open-air movies are usually played in the village. When the movie is not playing, it is just a big white curtain. In the eyes of children, it is just white cloth.

At this stage, many excellent war-themed films have emerged. Nuannuan is talking about the injured, who may face the situation of being injured again and being killed or sacrificed.

Thinking of this, Li Muyang felt a sense of warmth in his heart. Seeing the warmth, he hugged the child again and gently rubbed his forehead against the child's belly.

"Don't be afraid Nuan Nuan, uncle, I won't die. I still want to watch Nuan Nuan grow up and give birth to a little Nuan Nuan."
