Text Chapter 244: Half-sized Jujube Tree

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When we got off the car at the entrance of the village, the two little girls were already hugging each other, jumping and laughing.

    Seeing that they completely ignored the presence of adults, Liu Junhao had no choice but to lead the couple to find a place to live.  It was already introduced to me in the car just now.  The little girl's name is Hao Xia, her father's name is Hao Guangjian, and her mother's name is Guo Xun.

    After arranging their accommodation, the family of three couldn't wait to visit his courtyard.  Like everyone else, they took countless photos after seeing animals of all sizes in their yard.

    Liu Junhao wanted to stay with them for dinner at noon, but Professor Zhao called him over, saying that they were guests invited by Tongtong.

    After lunch, Zhang Ma went next door to chat with Teacher Wang.

    As soon as she left, some little guys in the yard started making noise again.  They played sandbag throwing, which they had just learned from the children in the village in the past two days.

    The game of throwing sandbags is simple and there are no special requirements for the venue. Just find an open space and draw a few squares on it.  A sandbag is a small bag sewn from a large piece of cloth. Some sand is put inside and the mouth of the bag is sewn shut.

    Of course, what is more complicated is that it is made by sewing several small sandbags. It has similar functions to the shuttlecock and is used for kicking.  However, it is heavier than a shuttlecock and is easier for children to kick.

    The five people couldn¡¯t form groups, so in the end they decided to let Wukong follow them to make up the number.  To say that the monkey is really good at learning things, every time it is its turn, it grabs the sandbag and throws it to the side of the square.  However, this guy's strength is too small, and he is at the bottom in most cases.

    Liu Junhao watched it for a while and found it boring, so he moved a chair and sat down. Outside the hospital, Zhang Qian was watching with great interest.

    The blue waves in the ditch are green, flashing with sparkling light under the sunlight.  He put his legs up against the ferry guardrail, leaned back on the chair, held a twig in his mouth, and leisurely enjoyed the afternoon sunshine.

    A large group of wild ducks squawked and played in the water, diving into the water from time to time and catching a few small fish.  The ditch is connected to the river, and the fish in it are never caught.  And because of the spring water, fish like to gather in this section.  This just benefits the waterfowl in the yard, and they never seem to lack food.

    We are full and the afternoon sun is warm.

    Liu Junhao stared at the water for a while, and soon became distracted and dozed off.

    I was sleeping in a daze when I felt my body being pushed hard.  I wanted to turn over and continue sleeping, but I stumbled and fell off the chair.

    "Uncle Liu, you are so lazy, you even sleep in broad daylight." Turning around, he saw little Hao Xia pointing at him and giggling.

    "It's you, why don't you play anymore?" Liu Junhao wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then sat firmly on the chair.  This girl is not cute at all. She was sleeping happily when she was awakened.

    "Wukong Guang made trouble, and Tongtong and I lost." She pouted her lips and revealed the reason.

    "Uncle Liu, Aunt Zhang wants to play on a swing, and she asked you to make one for us."

    My wife wants to play on the swing For such a grown-up person, when did her childlike innocence become so overflowing? Could it be that little Hao Xia was pretending to pass on the imperial edict?  He looked at the quirky little girl in front of him, it seemed possible.

    Just as he was thinking about it, his wife shouted from the courtyard, asking him to make the swing.  It turned out that a few little guys had been playing throwing sandbags for a while and found it boring, so they wanted to run to the village to find other people to play with.  Zhang Qian was afraid that there would be no adults following them to secretly buy firecrackers and cause trouble, so she planned to make a swing to divert attention.

    Making a swing is easy. Just find a rope and tie it to both sides of the chair, and then tie the rope to the branches.  She originally wasn't going to bother Liu Junhao and wanted to do it herself.  But after tying the chair, I discovered that I couldn't climb a tree. After coaxing Wukong onto the branch, the guy was tangled around with the rope, not working seriously at all.

    Reluctantly, she told little Hao Xia to call her husband.

    After receiving the order, Liu Junhao directly moved the chair into the room.  He looked at the chair Zhang Qian was tied to and suddenly felt a little sweaty.  It seems that I need to strengthen my wife¡¯s hands-on skills in the future!  This chair only has two straps on the bottom, and the upper backrest is not fixed at all.  Fortunately she wasn't tied to a branch, otherwise the chair wouldn't be stable and something would happen later.

    These are all lessons learned. When he was a child, he fell off the swing many times because of this.

    Take off the rope and tie two slip knots to secure the backrest to the rope.  He took a look at the crooked neem tree. The lowest branch was nearly horizontal, which was perfect for a swing frame.  Three times, five times, two swings were ready. Liu Junhao went up and tried it a few times, and it felt pretty good.

    Before she could get enough of it, Tongtong was urging her on beside her.  Liu Junhao had no choice but to abdicate and let this little girl take the seat.

    He had just taken a step back and was about to run away when Tongtong said: "Uncle Liu, push me"?!  "

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I have to help myself swing when I'm ready to make a love swing.  Who did I offend?

    After finally waiting for each little guy to sit on it once, Liu Junhao let his wife have fun on it again.  He had already seen it, and his wife had been eager to try it just now.

    Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian sat on it and before swinging twice, the rope broke.

    Fortunately, Liu Junhao considered the safety of the child and tied the swing very low, so she had no problems.

    "Auntie, you are too heavy. The rope broke as soon as you got up." While he was depressed, Xiao Zeyu added fuel to the fire.

    "Nonsense, the rope is obviously not strong and your uncle didn't make the swing well." Zhang Qian argued with a slight blush on her face.  It's so embarrassing. It's okay for everyone to go up, so why is it my turn to have problems?

    Liu Junhao is also quite depressed. How can you blame yourself for not doing a good job? You found this rope.  Originally there were a lot of plastic ropes in the house, but Zhang Qian took an old straw rope based on the principle of recycling waste.  This is no problem, no matter how strong the rope is, the four pieces together can still bear a weight of one to two hundred kilograms.  But they were swinging, and the rope was tied to the rough neem branches and rubbed for a long time, and many of the rope ends were broken.  It's okay for a child to sit on it, but when she gets on it, it immediately exceeds the limit.

    In order to make up for the mistake he made, Liu Junhao found a plastic rope as thick as his thumb from the house.  Of course, he was smarter this time and wrapped a snakeskin bag around a neem branch to slow down the friction.

    The swing was rebuilt, but Zhang Qian said she was unwilling to try it. She was very hurt by the broken rope incident just now.

    It happened that the phone in the room rang, so she excused herself to answer the phone and walked away.

    "I asked you about the jujube tree, and now" Zhao Guangming's voice came on the phone.

    "So fast?" Liu Junhao was a little surprised. He just said that the results would be available in two days.  Huo Jun took a fancy to his date when he came last time, and he was about to sign a contract at that time.  .Although Liu Junhao did not agree in the end, he did think about it and planned to plant some jujube saplings around the yard next spring.

    ¡°But when he was buying jujube saplings, he was worried. Persimmon saplings, pear saplings, plum saplings, etc. were all easy to buy in the town, but this jujube sapling was not for sale.

    It¡¯s not that people don¡¯t know about the business opportunities, but jujube saplings are too common. Basically, as long as there is a jujube tree in the yard, there will definitely be many jujube tree saplings growing around.

    Therefore, there is no shortage of jujube saplings. If anyone wants to plant another jujube tree, as long as they protect the jujube buds from being eaten by cattle and sheep in spring, a jujube sapling as tall as half a person can grow in one year.  , it can be transplanted in the second year.

    Liu Junhao originally had a lot of jujube saplings growing in his courtyard, but at that time he had no intention of planting jujube saplings, so he allowed them to be eaten up by red rabbits.

    When I want to plant it now, I don¡¯t have enough time.  Although the jujube trees bear fruit that year, before the jujube seedlings grow up, they only bear a few jujubes every year, which is the same as no jujubes at all.

    Liu Junhao wants to get it right in one step and directly find half-sized jujube trees, so that he can ensure profits that year.

    He knew very well that no house in Liujiagou had extra jujube trees.  If he wanted to plant, he could only think of something else to do. He told Zhao Guangming about this problem and asked him to keep an eye out for anyone selling jujube trees.

    When he first said it, he didn¡¯t have much hope. After all, the half-sized jujube tree could already bear jujubes, and no one would sell it idle.

    ¡°I never thought that in just a few days, people would have news.

    "If you want to talk about this, it's really 'a coincidence beats a coincidence'. As soon as you finished telling me, someone in the town wanted to renovate the yard and build a building. His backyard had been abandoned, and there were  There are six or seven jujube trees, all of them as thick as an arm. Although they are smaller than what you requested, the opportunity is rare"

    After listening to what he said, Liu Junhao said "good" several times.

    "When can you come over? They plan to dig the foundation before the year and start building the house in the spring."

    "Tomorrow I'll find a car to go there tomorrow morning." After thinking about it, Liu Junhao decided to do this sooner rather than later. If it's too late, something could easily happen.

    "By the way, I asked you the price. One plant is thirty yuan, what do you think of the price?" Zhao Guangming added at the end.

    "The price is not expensive, it's okay." The price was much lower than his psychological price. He originally thought that no one would sell a plant for fifty yuan.  Of course, the reason why the price was so low was that the family thought the jujube tree was an obstruction and wanted to cut it down for fire.  Now that someone is buying it, they are naturally happy. They sell it for a penny and burn it and it¡¯s worthless.

    "Have we finished buying the jujube tree?" Zhang Qian had been sitting nearby and listening. Now she saw him hang up the phone and asked.

    "Perfect solution, I can't stop luck when it comes." Liu JunhaoRetell the story with excitement.

    "Such a thick jujube tree is destined to be heavy. How will we get it back then?" Zhang Qian asked.

    "This thing is easy to handle. We can use Liu Qiyong's four-wheeler. I'll call a few people and we can get it back in one morning. You can cook early at noon tomorrow and stir-fry some more hard vegetables. Please help when you get back.  ." After he finished speaking, he didn't delay at home, just took two boxes of cigarettes and went to the village to find someone.

    Things need to be settled early, otherwise people may go over to visit relatives tomorrow.  There is a custom here in Daqingshan, which is to recognize your child as a godfather.  According to the older generation, if you recognize your godfather, your child will be less likely to get sick and easier to feed.

    Liu Junhao used to be very strange, but now I understand that it must be that the medical conditions were not good at that time, and something might happen to a child with a cold or fever, so he wanted to find some psychological comfort.  This is the same as naming in the past. The meaner the child's name, the easier it is to support him.  There are quite a few people of the older generation whose nicknames are "Goudan" and "Dungbasket".

    At first, Old Man Liu also wanted Liang Dapao to be his godfather, but before he could say anything, he peed on his neck, and the matter failed.

    Life has gotten better now, but the custom of recognizing godfathers has still been preserved.  The 22nd and 23rd of the twelfth lunar month are the days to visit relatives at the godfather¡¯s house.

    Liu Qiyong was originally going to visit relatives tomorrow. When he heard that he had something to do, he immediately postponed the time by a day.

    After breakfast the next day, Liu Junhao set off with a shovel.  As soon as I reached the door, my wife called me again.

    "What's the matter?"

    "Go to the street and fill up the gas in someone's car," Zhang Qian warned worriedly.

    "I know" Liu Junhao was prepared to do it even if she didn't say it.  You can't just let people help you and pay for it, even though it doesn't mean much gas for travel expenses.

    After a while, several people carrying big saws came over.

    Use a big saw to trim the branches. Only the main trunk of the jujube tree can be left, otherwise it will not fit in the car.  The head is mainly used to deal with the roots of the tree. "The height of the tree is the depth of the roots." It will take a lot of effort to dig the roots of the tree later.

    When he got to the street, Liu Junhao got out of the car and filled up the four wheels with gas.  When we arrived at Zhao Guangming's house, the boy was already waiting at the door with a shovel in hand. Looking at his posture, he was ready to help.

    "Can you know how to use a shovel?" Liu Junhao handed over the cigarette and punched his shoulder with a smile.

    "Sunshine, don't underestimate people. With my strength, I can carry two bags of wheat weighing 100 kilograms and put it on my shoulders as if nothing is wrong." Zhao Guangming said boldly.

    "You can brag." Of course Liu Junhao wouldn't believe it. This kid is usually pampered and has never done any hard work.  It would probably be too much for him to carry a bag of wheat.

    "Hey, I don't believe it, let's try it later." I really don't want to admit defeat.

    "No need to compare, you are definitely not as good as Xiao Hao. This kid is just like a bull," Liu Laosan took over from behind.  He has a deep understanding of Liu Junhao's strength, and he had also made a bet before.

    "Really?" Zhao Guangming turned around and looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Isn't he not farming? He just rests at home all day long."

    ¡°He is a freak,¡± Liu Qiyong also laughed.

    When he arrived at the location, Zhao Guangming realized what "freak" meant. He saw people digging up the subway shovel without stopping.  They had just started here, and Liu Junhao was already digging the roots of the tree with his head.

    "Xiao Hao, can the tree roots survive if you dig them like this?" Liu Laosan asked worriedly after seeing that he had dug up all the roots in a short time.

    "It's okay. I asked Professor Zhao before I came here. He said that water does not evaporate in winter, and plants consume very little nutrients. Just dig the roots like this." He did not have such confidence, which was naturally caused by the stone lock.  When you return home and pour more spring water, the jujube tree will definitely survive.

    "It's okay, it's fine." Liu Laosan was relieved when he heard the expert's conclusion.

    Digging tree roots and sawing branches may not seem like a lot of work, but it took most of the day to figure it out.
