Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This time, Liu Laosan seemed to be a bastard and was determined to ask Liu Junhao to give him advice. He even ran to the backyard to look at his eels, as if he wanted to find out what was different, but Liu Junhao had no choice but to follow him in person.

    From time to time, you can see eels jumping out from the shade of the trees, swallowing caterpillars that have fallen in the air, and then getting into the ditch.

    "Your eel is quite clever," Liu Laosan said, walking back and forth in the ditch and finding no "inside story". Of course he was a little disappointed.

    In fact, he also knew that Liu Junhao was not lying to him. He just couldn¡¯t figure out why the same eel could be so different depending on the person feeding it.

    "Hey, is there a watermelon on this tree?" When Liu Laosan looked at a corner, his eyes suddenly widened. He was a little unbelievable.

    "Well, I don't know when a few melon vines came out in Chun Shang, and I didn't clean them. They grew so big by accident. Didn't I dig ditches a few days ago? I thought the watermelons were in the way, so I originally wanted to pull them out.  , who knew that Professor Zhao tied the watermelon to the tree and it turned out like this." Liu Junhao explained.

    "My dear, the watermelon is growing on the tree. It's an eye-opener for me today." For a moment, Liu Laosan forgot to ask about the eel and looked longingly at the half-sized watermelon in the net bag.

    I saw a few green watermelon seedlings in the corner climbing up the crooked acacia tree everywhere. They were covered with bright yellow flowers. There were also a few hanging melon seedlings that were as big as the mouth of a bowl.  watermelon.

    If watermelon grows on the ground, he would not be surprised at all, but this watermelon grows on a tree. This is something Liu Laosan has never encountered in most of his life.

    When he got home, he told his mother-in-law about the strange thing he had just seen. At first, his mother-in-law didn't believe it. She went to Liu Junhao's yard to take a look in the afternoon and then she believed it.

    Liu Laosan¡¯s mother-in-law was a big talker herself, so the next day she went to Liu Junhao¡¯s house to see the watermelons on the trees. People were flocking there like they were at a market, and everyone was amazed.

    This completely overturned their understanding. When growing watermelons in rural areas, it is generally necessary to press the seedlings, which means to press a big clod of soil on the melon seedlings at intervals, so that the melon seedlings lie completely on the ground and have long floating roots. However, Liu Junhao's few  The melon vines were literally hanging in the air, and they even produced round, green watermelons. No matter where you tried to reason, the watermelons were growing on the trees.

    Of course, the credit for this matter is not fully attributed to Liu Junhao. Many people lamented that the experts from the provincial capital were different and could plant watermelons on trees.

    Naturally, people who came to the village heard about this strange thing. They all came to Liu Junhao's house to see the strange thing, and even took out their cameras to take pictures. This watermelon soon became one of Liujiagou's three signature treasures, and even some meddlers  I also made up a jingle: There are three treasures in Liujiagou: the fire head grows as big as a millstone, the old turtle runs with the word "longevity" in it, and the watermelon hangs on the top of the acacia tree.

    This watermelon is the same as the vegetables in Liu Junhao's yard, that is, it has many fruits. How many small green watermelons grow in a day. He counted them. So far, there have been six small watermelons on one melon vine. He looked full.  The tree has small pale yellow flowers, and it is estimated that it will produce a lot of watermelons in the future.

    Professor Zhao did not expect this result. He even called his colleagues at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and asked him to have time to come over and study what was going on and see if this project of growing watermelons on trees would be promoted on a large scale.  possible.  If successful, then there will be new ideas for interplanting watermelons in groves.

    Watermelon is a fruit that is not cold-tolerant and is afraid of waterlogging. It needs sufficient sunlight throughout the growth period. Therefore, when choosing a site to grow watermelon, you should choose a plot with sufficient sunlight, higher terrain, and convenient drainage.

    Although the interplanting of fruit trees is so loudly advertised in newspapers, the real situation is not like this, because the watermelons interplanted generally have very few fruits and are very small. In addition, the fruit trees block all the sunlight, causing the watermelons to be exposed to light.  The time is reduced, so although the watermelon in contact is particularly watery, it is not sweet.

    If the watermelon seedlings climb on trees, the limiting factor of light will be much weakened, and the possibility of interplanting watermelons in orchards will be much greater.

    But what Professor Zhao couldn't figure out was why this watermelon had so many knots. He didn't know the reason, but Liu Junhao could guess that it must be the credit of the spring water. He originally prepared more than a dozen net bags, which were not enough.  In the same way, the largest one is already as big as a bowl, and the net bag is bulging. It is not yet familiar with it. Depending on the situation, it will continue to grow, but the net bag is elastic and should be able to hold it.

    In fact, not only are there so many watermelons, but even the jujube trees in Liu Junhao¡¯s front yard have bloomed so many small flowers this year. You can feel the fragrance coming from eight feet away from the yard. When you walk under the jujube tree, the fragrance of the flowers is even more intense.  It is extremely rich and refreshing, and countless bees are busy among the flowers, buzzing constantly.Howling, it was a lively scene.

    However, rural people generally no longer enjoy the shade under the jujube trees. The reason is very simple. There are spicy seeds on the jujube trees. This kind of spicy seeds is green in color with some small hairs. It is very poisonous. When it stings people, it will cause big bumps and itchiness.  It hurts again, very uncomfortable.

    In Liu Junhao's yard, this little kid suffered like this. He was digging a cicada hole under a jujube tree. Somehow, a hottie got into his shorts and stung him with a big bump on his thigh. It was so thick.  The naughty kid started crying on the spot. Liu Junhao hurriedly picked up the toothpaste, squeezed out a large piece of toothpaste, and applied it on the furry kid's thigh. It took a long time for the swelling to subside.

    Now that the jujube flowers have basically fallen, many dates have grown to the size of pigeon eggs. Although they are still green, the naughty kids in the village come to play with them no matter what.

    Jujube trees are different from other fruit trees. As the saying goes, "With jujubes, there are three poles. If there are no jujubes, there are three sticks." When jujube trees grow vigorously, the results will be affected. Only by beating regularly can more dates be produced, so these naughty kids have nothing to do with bamboo poles.  He didn't say anything, just let them do whatever they wanted. Anyway, the dates were not edible yet.

    But when the boy handed him a green jujube, Liu Junhao felt something strange. The jujube was already crispy, with a hint of sweetness in the bitterness. No wonder these naughty boys came to beat the jujube trees every day.

    ***

    Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao were fighting fiercely on the Chu River and Han boundary. Suddenly, the little boy at the door barked again. No need to ask, it was another tourist who came to see something strange in his yard. When he looked up, he saw a big fat man.  He led the two women to the entrance of the courtyard.

    "Xiaopi, stop barking." Following his scolding, Xiaopi immediately shook his tail and stopped looking at the three people squatting under the big tree.

    These three people are all dressed in casual clothes. The two women next to them look to be about the same age as themselves, but the fat man in front and one of the girls look familiar.

    "Are you a rat?" The fat man was stunned when he saw Liu Junhao, and then walked over enthusiastically.

    "Crab?! Why are you here?" Liu Junhao also immediately recognized this big fat man. This man was his classmate in high school and had lived in the same dormitory with him.  His name was Pang Xu, which sounded like crab. A group of classmates nicknamed him Crab.  Liu Junhao's nickname is "Mouse". He and Pang Xu slept in bunk beds, so they had a good relationship in high school. When Liu Junhao was dropped out of school, Pang Xu even took him to a restaurant for a meal, saying it was for him.  Send off.

    The old classmates were naturally happy to meet each other. The two of them forgot to introduce others for a while. It wasn't until the short-haired girl coughed that Pang Xu realized, "This is Xu Xiaoli, who used to go to the same high school as us." When he said this, he even winked at Liu Junhao.  blink.

    Liu Junhao also remembered now. Isn't this the girl that Fatty had been pursuing when he was in high school? At that time, his love letter was revised by Liu Junhao. Judging from the current situation of the two of them, I am afraid that their hookup has become a real thing.

    The girl with long hair is called Zhang Qian, a relative of Xu Xiaoli's family. I heard that she is studying in normal school and has been interning in the county for half a year.

    After listening to Pang Xu's story, Liu Junhao realized that Liujiagou had a very good reputation recently, and he heard people talking about it from time to time in the county. After hearing this, Zhang Qian asked Xu Xiaoli to bring her here because she was afraid that the two girls would go to the mountains alone.  It was not safe, so we had Pang Xu as a "bodyguard".
