Chapter 24 Planting Trees
Xu Baoying patted her granddaughter on the back, and stared at the couple standing at the door. It was really such a big thing that she didn’t tell her immediately when she came back, “How did you two become parents? Is it white to be bullied? When your father comes back, I have to go to his house to ask for an explanation."
Yan Sisi got up from her grandma's arms and said, "Grandma, let's forget about it. Anyway, the marriage has been retired, and I don't want to What are you talking about with his family?" The
matter spread out, apart from embarrassment on everyone's face, what can be changed?
Xu Baoying looked at the couple who were unusually silent, no, if there was a mistake over there, the two of them would have jumped up and started to trouble someone, it is not their usual style to be so quiet today, there must be something wrong inside.
Xu Baoying touched her granddaughter's hand, "Okay, listen to my granddaughter, my granddaughter said forget it, it's been a mess all afternoon, you go back to the house and have a good rest, and when the meal is ready, grandma will call you to eat." Yan Sisi went up the mountain in the morning by car in the afternoon, and then quarreled with others, she really felt mentally and physically exhausted a lot. Hearing this, she nodded, seeing her parents who were standing motionless, as if they wanted to talk to grandma about something, Leaving the main room and returning to their house, climbed into their single bed and closed their eyes to rest. Yan Sisi thought that she would not be able to sleep, but she did not expect to sleep until dark. When she got up from the bed, Yan's father and Yan's mother were lying on the other side of the curtain and whispering something. Yan Sisi stretched her head over and asked, "Mom, what are you talking about?" Startled by the sound, she raised her head to see the girl's delicate face, then she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her hand, saying, "You came out of nowhere, are you trying to scare your mother to death?" Yan Sisi blinked innocently. Blinking his eyes, "I didn't. You were too focused. What were you talking about just now?" While speaking , Father Yan had already got up from the bed and walked to the door. Looking at the eyes of the mother and daughter, he said: " Your grandma left some food for you, I'll bring it to you."
Only then did Yan Sisi turn her eyes to her mother, and Yan's mother perfunctoryly said to her daughter: "You, a child, don't care too much about adults' affairs."
Yan Sisi curled her lips, the corners of her mouth could be hung with an oil pot, and said sullenly: "If you don't say it, then you don't say it." The adults are just bored, and now they are hiding the secret from her. In the end, she will not know, it's just a matter of time.
With a sound of "click", the door was opened and closed again. Father Yan put two warm enamel bowls on the solid wood cabinet beside the bed, and said, "Your grandma specially steamed egg custard for you, hurry up and eat it." " "Milk is so kind to me." Yan Sisi looked at the egg custard she hadn't eaten for a few days, she didn't care about any secrets, she put on her shoes and sat next to the bedside table, looking at the bowl full of egg custard and pimple soup, carefully I took a bite out of it with a spoon and put it in my mouth. The egg custard made by her grandma is the most delicious, smooth and tender, without a trace of pores, Yan Sisi said while eating: "Mom, the egg custard made by my grandma is delicious, do you want to learn from it?" Glancing at Zhengxiang's daughter, "How many years your grandma has been cooking, how many years your mother has only been cooking, can this compare?" This little heartless person even disliked her cooking skills. She has been eating for so many years. Yan Sisi heard something was wrong in her mother's voice, and thought: No, forget that you can't say bad about mother, if you don't cook for her, it will be miserable. Knowing the power of it, Yan Sisi quickly lowered her head and silently ate the egg custard and pimple soup in the bowl. After a while, she ate up the two bowls of rice. After eating, drinking and sleeping, Yan Sisi walked on the ground for a while, her stomach still swollen, thinking that some saplings dug in the afternoon had not been planted, so she greeted her parents and entered the space. Yan Sisi entered the space, only to see small saplings piled up in a mess, and there was still a shovel on the ground next to it, which could just be used to dig holes and plant trees so that she would not have to go out to get it. Yan Sisi looked at the saplings all over the ground, how much time would be wasted picking them up one by one. As soon as the consciousness turned in her mind, the young saplings slowly floated up one after another, and followed her footsteps to the most edge.
After arriving at the destination, Yan Sisi realized that all the saplings fell to the ground, and then she dug a hole with a shovel and filled the hole with the saplings. She didn't know how long it took her to plant all the saplings.
After planting all the saplings, Yan Sisi felt that she was still full of energy and didn't feel sleepy at all. She turned around and looked at the empty ground, and then used the tip of the shovel to draw the ground into small square grids, and shoveled out long pits in each square. She took out the seeds her father found for her and planted them one grid at a time. The plants planted in each grid were different.
I hope to harvest different fruits in a few days, which will also enrich their table.
After the seeds were planted, Yan Sisi manipulated the Lingquan water to water every plant and seed. Every time a plant needs a lot of water, the water in the Lingquan well has not decreased at all.
After Yan Sisi finished reading the Lingquan Well, she turned around and looked at the tall ancient tree. She couldn't help but look at the green fruit hanging on the top of the tree. Looking carefully at the bottom of the fruit, the gray color at the bottom seemed to be much less gray than when she first saw it. I don't know if it was her illusion. The branches of the ancient tree were originally half gray and half green, but now a little greenness quietly spread upwards from the gray bottom. It may be the green smoke absorbed by the plants every time they were picked, which made them like this. Sleepiness slowly invaded Yan Sisi's mind, she couldn't help but yawned a few times, tears came out. As soon as he turned his thoughts, he left the space. At this moment, the sky outside was completely dark, and it was impossible to see the direction without lighting the candles. Yan Sisi stood at the place where she came out, the whole room was quiet and only her father's snoring could be heard, she looked in their direction with concern, and was relieved to see that the movement did not wake them up. Then he stood there and waited for his eyes to adapt to the darkness, then climbed onto his bed lightly, and fell asleep with a loud snoring sound. When she woke up the next day, Yan Sisi was woken up by the glare of the sun, and when she left the room, her mother was the only one in the house looking for something in the kitchen. Yan Sisi stood at the door and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Mother Yan was frightened yesterday, but her resistance has improved a lot today. When she heard the sudden voice, she stood up calmly, and whispered to the daughter who came in, "Why don't I find something for you to grow immortals?" Hey, look, these potatoes are too hot to germinate in the kitchen, anyway, they can’t be eaten or planted, and it’s a waste to throw them away.”
Yan Sisi didn’t eat a bite of rice, and asked in a panic: “Mom, Have you left some food for me?"
"In the innermost pot, there are some miscellaneous grain steamed buns."
Yan Sisi took the miscellaneous grain steamed buns in her hand, and when she turned her head, she saw her mother cutting left and right right at the sprouting potatoes with a kitchen knife. , took a bite of steamed buns and asked vaguely: "Mom, you can still grow potatoes after cutting them.
" The incision made by the knife is covered with a thin layer of plant ash, so that the plant can survive.” Seeing that the girl understood, Yan’s mother continued to cut and said, “And when you plant, you have to dig a long, small plant first. just put the potato buds facing upwards and cover the soil with water.” Yan Sisi nodded understandingly, planting plants is a great science, but she always seems to dig a hole in the space and throw the seeds into it Cover it with a thin layer of soil, and then water it, and finally it will live. Yan Sisi, who didn't know why, was eating while watching her mother chopping up and down. After she finished breakfast, the potatoes were also covered with a layer of plant ash. Yan Sisi returned to their own room with the potatoes handled by her mother, and only after her mother locked the door did she enter the space in peace. Yan Sisi, who was carrying potatoes, planted the potatoes in the basket one by one according to her mother's instructions, and finally poured water on them, waiting for them to germinate and grow up. When he left the space, Father Yan came back at some point, with five or six stacked bamboo baskets, two bamboo boxes, and a long wooden bucket at the end, which seemed to be used for her fish farming. There is a large bamboo forest in the mountains behind their village. The small baskets used by every household are made of bamboo from the back mountain. Every spring, everyone goes together to pick spring bamboo shoots. The taste is crunchy and delicious. , The soup is also delicious.
When Yan Si thought of this, he couldn't help but said: "Dad, can we dig some bamboo shoots and plant them in the fairy space?" The
sudden idea immediately got the approval of the foodies. Although Yan's father was very moved, he still said: "The bamboo shoots are usually It was planted in spring, so it may not be possible to grow it this winter."
"It's okay, it's not cold in the fairy space, so plant some and try it first, just in case it survives." Yan Sisi said resolutely, she really couldn't let it go Pass any plant that can be a delicacy. Father Yan thought that the bamboo forest was not too far away from the place where the mountain springs he went to yesterday, so he nodded and agreed. After the talk, Yan Sisi put all the things that his father brought back under the ancient trees in the space, and placed them around All of them are things she brought in from outside. Small space, because these things have become a little popular. Father Yan waited for his daughter to come out before calling out to his wife who was cleaning outside. The three of them, each with a shovel, walked towards the mountain behind. The first one arrived was the bamboo forest that Yan Sisi wanted. The bamboo forest in winter is still full of greenery, the bamboo with thick arms, and the green bamboos are straight into the sky. Mother Yan was the first to find a small bamboo shoot protruding from the ground. She pushed aside the gray bamboo leaves next to it with her hands and carefully dug it down from the edge with a shovel. Yan Sisi stared closely at Yan's mother digging the bamboo shoots, until after digging for a long time, she finally dug out a bamboo shoot with roots. A bamboo shoot with a brown skin and fluffy hairs on it, Yan Sisi held the root and put it in the space to continue looking for the next one. It was the first time Yan Sisi saw the dug out bamboo shoots. She used to eat sliced bamboo shoots, so she immediately ran to other places to find bamboo shoots and dug them with a shovel. After a while, the family of three dug up six bamboo shoots of different sizes. Yan Sisi looked at the piled bamboo shoots, and immediately called her parents to stop digging, and put the bamboo shoots into the space to go to the next destination. The next destination is the mountain spring and creek where they caught fish yesterday, and they stopped to dig out the wild fruit-bearing saplings they encountered on the road.
It took nearly an hour to arrive at the destination. Yan Sisi took the lead to take out the long wooden barrel and put it by the river. Spirit spring water and mountain spring water.
Yan's father and Yan's mother teamed up to cast and collect the nets on both sides of the small river, while Yan Sisi sat by the water and was responsible for picking out the fish and shrimps in the fishing nets and putting them into wooden barrels. The three of them cast and collected the nets in turn. It took them about an hour to collect the nets. At this time, a lot of fish and shrimps had been caught in the wooden barrel. It may be because few people came here, so the number of fish was still low. There are quite a lot, and every time you cast a net, you can catch more than a dozen small fish and two or three big fish. Before putting the fish into the space, Yan Sisi picked out the biggest fish and asked, "Dad, let's give half of these big ones to grandpa and the other half to grandma!" They will go back in the afternoon , I don’t know when the next time I come here. Father Yan nodded, and the three of them tidied up and went to the thatched hut halfway up the mountain to help tidy up the place where grandpa lived, patch up the air leaks, and add some spiritual spring water to the water tank to dilute. Saying goodbye to grandpa and cousin, the family of three went down the mountain carrying two more fish. When they got home, although the third aunt's face was not very good, she didn't say anything for the sake of the fish they brought back. The family didn't say a word about what happened yesterday, they all sat quietly on the table and quickly put their chopsticks on the fish that rarely appeared on the table. The whole table only had the sound of eating. After eating, Yan Sisi's family packed up their things and prepared to go back. In the middle, Yan's mother went out and brought back a jar of wild honey. Xu Baoying packed some eggs and vegetables and handed them to Yan Sisi, and said, "You go back and don't think too much about it. If you have something to do, come back and tell grandma, grandma will help you vent your anger." Yan Sisi nodded, and the family of three went again in a bullock cart In the town, I took a car to the county, and when I arrived at the family courtyard, it was already dark.
Yan Sisi followed behind her parents, and before she even approached the family courtyard, she heard a burst of crying father and mother, which made her scalp go numb.
