"...Some people are born eating this kind of food, so how do they know what the food originally tastes like? Only some elderly people will miss it."

"Then you still dare to let me start a live broadcast to bring goods? If you have never seen the light, you won't feel how painful it is to be in the darkness, but once you see it..."

The system suddenly went silent.

Song Hongguo was also in a low mood until Sheng Zhongxin came to the door with someone.

Sheng Zhongxin brought three people, two of whom were brothers from his family, and the other was his son Sheng Xuejun. The three adults pushed three platoon carts and set off before dawn, walking on the mountain road for more than two hours. When they arrived at the Xiangyang Brigade, there was a difficult spot on the road. Sheng Xuejun helped to hold them back. Even so, when Song Hongguo saw them, they were all sweating from exhaustion.

Song Hongguo hurriedly removed the door sill and helped them push the car into the yard. She also ordered Ling Zhi to make tea and let them sit in the chairs in the front building to rest and then talk about work.

Sheng Zhongxin did not refuse this kind offer. He took a sip of tea and calmly looked at the spacious yard in front of him. At this moment, the big white goose and two young ones were playing in the pond, and the chickens were also released. From time to time, He lowered his head and pecked it.

The two people who followed him were a little restrained and were very careful while carrying the enamel jars. However, Sheng Xuejun was a little less shy than he was at the market last time and took the initiative to introduce to Song Hongguo what fruit trees were on the car.

Ling Zhi and Ling Yuan stood around and listened carefully. They both couldn't wait to plant these fruit trees in their yards right away so that they could pick the fruits and eat them in autumn.

There were quite a lot of fruit trees brought this time, three carts full, and the saplings were not small. They were all capable of bearing fruit that year, and the roots were covered with a layer of moist soil, so there was no need to worry about being able to survive. To her surprise, There are two sweet-scented osmanthus trees on the car.

"My father said that although this tree does not bear fruit, the flowers can be eaten when they bloom. They are also very fragrant and can be used to make osmanthus cakes and soak in osmanthus nectar."

After listening to Sheng Xuejun's explanation, Song Hongguo was moved in her heart and asked him, "Are there many osmanthus trees in your place?"

Sheng Xuejun shook his head, "It's not too much. There is a small area in the mountain col."

"In addition to laurel trees, are there any other flowers?"

"Does wild rhododendron count? They are all over the mountains and plains. There are also oleanders in the village, and the flowers are beautiful..." Sheng Xuejun thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "There is also a kind of rhododendron called thorn rose in the mountains, which also blooms. They are covered with thorns, and some people in the village use them as fences, so they are not afraid of anyone getting in."

Song Hongguo's eyes lit up, "Are there many thorn roses you mentioned on the mountains?"

"It's a lot. It's grown taller, it can be more than two meters, but..." He glanced at the stone walls around the yard and smiled shyly, "You don't need it here, right? The stone walls are even taller. solid."

It is strong, but planting thorn roses inside the wall not only adds an extra layer of protection, but is also pleasing to the eye.

"do you have anything else?"

"There is also a flower that climbs the wall. It seems to be called a rose. When it blooms, it blooms in large areas and has a fragrance. Oh, by the way, there are also peonies growing in the village, but not many. Only a few families have them. But those few peonies are all It has been for decades, and it looks like a small tree. It can bloom a lot of flowers, but the color is not very pleasing, it is white, which is taboo for the elderly..."

Song Hongguo has no taboos. She even prefers the pure white to the gorgeous red, and peonies that can grow into as big as a small tree... She wants it so much.

So when Sheng Zhongxin was digging holes to plant trees, Song Hongguo found a topic, which naturally led to peonies, and expressed her intention to buy them. To her surprise, Sheng Zhongxin was not surprised and agreed happily. Yes, I didn’t even ask any questions.

This is a little strange.

In the previous life, it would have been normal to buy flowers, beautify the environment, and decorate the yard. But now, when it is difficult to eat, who would have the leisure to grow flowers?Whenever I have some land, I grow food and vegetables to fill my stomach. As for the flowers and plants, no matter how beautiful they are but cannot be eaten, they are useless.

She originally thought of some excuses to cover up for herself, but none of them were of any use. Then she tentatively asked Crimson Rose and Qiangwei. Sheng Zhongxin gave more detailed information than his son, and promised to help her dig more. Come on, after all, her yard is big. If she plants a circle around the wall, she will need a lot.

This time, Sheng Zhongxin didn't ask for much money. He asked her for two bottles of medicine, one to reduce fever, one to reduce inflammation, and purple liquid to clean wounds.

When he talked about medicine, he also tried a few words cautiously. Seeing her composure, he made the request. He also talked about the difficulties and inconveniences of living in the mountains to see a doctor. If he hadn't known that she was a doctor, he wouldn't have done it. I had the nerve to open my mouth.

Only then did Song Hongguo realize that the reason why Sheng Zhongxin was so enthusiastic about selling her fruit trees and flowers was that besides the fact that she could make some money because of her generosity, the other reason was probably because of her status as a doctor.

After understanding this, she felt more at ease. It was safer to have other things to seek than simply asking for money.

Sheng Zhongxin worked very quickly, and the two people he brought were also good at work. Even Sheng Xuejun, a half-year-old boy, dug a lot of holes. Song Hongguo also followed suit and added soil and water. Several people worked together, and before noon , three cartloads of saplings were planted.

Two sweet-scented osmanthus trees are planted in the backyard, just behind the main house, facing the windows of the two bedrooms. When the flowers bloom and the fragrance floats in, even dreams will be sweet, right?

Two papaya trees were planted in the southeast and southwest, close to the pig pen and the hut. This way, they could also block the odor, while cherries and figs were planted in the south direction, right in the room where coal and firewood were placed. In front of the house.

As for the east and west sides, they are both vacant. There were originally peach trees, apricot trees, and two jujube trees. With this arrangement, the entire backyard was surrounded by fruit trees. As for the grapevines, they were She planted it around the well. Sheng Zhongxin was thoughtful and helped to build the frame. He had brought the wood in advance. In the summer, this place would be a good place to enjoy the cool air.

Those apple trees and hawthorn trees were not planted in the yard, but outside the yard wall. Along the empty space with the pear trees, more than a dozen were planted at once. It was still cold, but there were faint buds on the branches. Trying to come out.

Spring is just around the corner.

Sheng Zhongxin was about to leave after finishing her work. Song Hongguo wanted to stay with them for dinner, but she declined. After thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate. They were all men. As a woman, it was fine for her to only work, but to eat and drink. It’s easy to make people gossip.

She couldn't let people leave empty-handed, so she packed some food for Sheng Xuejun. Seeing that the paper bag was not big, Sheng Zhongxin didn't politely give it away and nodded to indicate to his son to accept it.

It wasn't until they left the Xiangyang Brigade and Sheng Xuejun opened the paper bag that Sheng Zhongxin realized how expensive the items inside were.
