Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 250: Spring (1)
After planting two batches of fruit trees, Li Zhu asked Aunt Li when these trees would bear fruit.

Aunt Li said: "Didn't you hear people say, three peaches, three apricots, four pears, five, you just want to eat fruit, and you are too impatient."

Li Zhu was speechless, she thought it would bloom next year.However, this time is too long.

Li Zhu asked again if there were any fruit trees that could bear fruit sooner, and Aunt Li said, "If you really want to do it sooner, then you can sell adult fruit trees. Some trees are planted in winter, and they will bloom and bear fruit in the next spring. I’m afraid it’s hard to live. When a big tree is dug up, its roots will be hurt. There’s an old saying, ‘If you move a tree, it will kill you, but if you move it, a person will live’.”

It seems so, but she has a spiritual spring in her hand.Li Zhu really regretted it, she only knew that it was good to plant trees in spring, so she didn't think about asking Auntie.Otherwise, it can be planted in winter.But it's not too late now, after all, it's only early spring and February.

Li Zhu also asked her aunt to help her to find out if there were any mature fruit trees nearby, preferably those already bearing fruit, which she bought at a high price.As soon as the news got out, many people came to ask.Li Zhu asked them to be more careful when digging the tree, and he almost accepted it after looking at it.The price varies according to the quality of the fruit trees, ranging from a few hundred to dozens of wen.

After dozens of young saplings, several rows of mature fruit trees were planted on the wasteland next to Yang's house.These trees are especially taken care of by Li Zhu, and there are many spiritual springs added.Probably because of the Lingquan, the grass and wild vegetables here are much more lush than other places, and it looks like a big green blanket from a distance.Aunt Li was idle at home, so she caught dozens of chickens and ducks to raise, and Li Zhu also bought a few sheep.These domestic animals are placed on the barren slope, where there are many grasses and insects, and it is quite safe to send rhubarb to watch beside them.

Now, there are pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs at home, what else is missing?By the way, there is still a cow and a donkey.Cattle can not only cultivate the land, but also can be used in a car, so as not to have to take someone else's car when entering the city.Donkeys can be used as mounts.She won't need to rely on two legs to go to farther places in the future.

As soon as Li Zhu thought about it, he hurried to discuss it with his aunt and uncle.

As soon as Li Zhu raised this question, Yang Laoshi glanced at it and said, "Do you want to buy livestock? This thing is very expensive. You have been tossing so much recently, do you still have any money?" Yang Laoshi's tone was slightly dissatisfied.

As a farmer, Yang Laoshi didn't want to have his own livestock, but his wife said that her family's money should not be spent indiscriminately, and Yang Mo had to go to the provincial capital to take the exam, and to give gifts to the teacher and the recommender, so there were too many places to spend money up.The money for opening the store seems to be a lot, but it will be gone as soon as it is spent.When Li Zhu tentatively wanted to hand over the seller's money, he was a little tempted.But after hearing what his son said was reasonable, he didn't dare to say it clearly.

However, he saw that Li Zhu was buying wasteland, planting trees, and digging ponds, and he couldn't persuade him. The kid's ideas were getting bigger and bigger.After a long time, I felt a little dissatisfied in my heart.But after all, she is not her own daughter, so it is hard to say clearly.

In fact, Li Zhu can also guess one or two of Yang Honest's thoughts.How should I put it, he has both the simplicity and kindness of a farmer and his own little calculations.He's a nice guy, but not in a disinterested way.Having said that, how many selfless people can there be in this world?
At first, Yang Laoshi was willing to take in Li Zhu mainly for Aunt Li's sake. After all, Li Zhu had no blood relationship with him.The second is that he thinks Li Zhu is a girl whose family is so big, and it will be over after a few years of raising her and getting married, but it's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks.Later, after Li Zhu came to his house, life at home got better and better, and he treated Li Zhu better and better.
