On the other side, Zhao Liang carried a bag of fruit and found Li Tongye who was working.

"This is the fruit your sister Li Xinran brought you."

Li Tongye patted the dirt on his hands and asked again in disbelief,

"My sister brought it to me?"

Zhao Liang roughly explained what happened when their deputy leader met Li Xinran in the town.

Only then did Li Tongye understand, and a happy smile instantly appeared on his face.

He opened the bag, took out a few bunches of grapes, and handed them to Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang waved his hand and refused, saying,

"Li Zhiqing, you have given me a bag of fruit. This is for you."

When Li Tongye heard this, he no longer forced it and gave it to Zhao Liang.

Instead, he put away the fruit in his hand and waited to go back to the dormitory to eat after work.

He really didn't expect that he would receive fruits from his sister.

In addition to grapes and cherries, there are also a few strawberries. Although the strawberries don't look very good, every one of them is red.

Li Tongye took advantage of his break to taste a strawberry, which was very sweet.

Without paying attention, I ate all the strawberries.

When he started working again, he felt that his body was energetic and not so tired.

The educated youths who were also working were very curious when they saw him like this.

Li Tongye only said that he was happy because he received the fruits sent by his sister.

However, after saying this, Li Tongye felt that not only was he happy, but his body seemed to have become really strong.

Li Tongye counted the days and planned to go to Beishan Village to see his sister when he had a day off.

On the other side, in Beishan Village, the familiar bells for work started ringing again.

The fruits in the village orchard are already ripe.

This time, everyone must participate in picking fruits. They cannot ask for leave or do farm work such as weeding pigs.

Li Xinran put on her equipment early in the morning and followed Zhao Meijuan and the others to the open space to wait.

After everyone arrived, Captain Zhao began to assign tasks.

Picking fruits is different from other farm work. There are always people secretly hiding one or two, so the scorekeeper will always keep an eye on everyone.

However, how could a pair of eyes be able to see everyone?

Therefore, everyone’s enthusiasm for picking fruits is extremely high.

If you are not careful, you can secretly eat one or two.

Li Xinran and several female educated youths were assigned to pick peaches under a peach tree.

Between the criss-crossing branches, small peaches emerged one after another, hanging pink on the branches, which was very pleasant.

However, some peaches are big and some are small, so they look uneven.

Li Xinran looked at the particularly dense peach tree in front of him and sighed.

Fortunately, she wore gloves before going out today, otherwise she would be itchy to death due to the peach hairs on this tree when she went back tonight.

Wang Xiaoying on the side said something sinister and sinister,

"Some people want to be lazy again."

"It's a pity. Even if I want to kill pigweed, I can't do it."

Li Xinran glanced at where Wang Xiaoying was standing, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

That's where the downwind is.

After a while, a breeze blew by, making her look furry.

It's best if Wang Xiaoying says a few more words and she will feel better when she goes back at night.

Li Xinran moved her feet and reached out to pick a peach, a low-lying peach.

Sure enough, although Taozi looked pink, she was really hairy.

Is it true that someone would eat such a hairy peach without washing it?

Li Xinran looked around, but didn't see anyone secretly hiding peaches in his arms.

However, if she could have discovered it, then the scorer must have discovered it long ago.

Zhou Xiaonan on the side also reached out and picked a peach.

After taking it off and putting it in the big basket on the side, Zhou Xiaonan lowered his head and looked at his own hands, and then at the gloves on Li Xinran's hands.

She felt the tiny fluff on her hands, which was very uncomfortable.

Zhou Xiaonan looked at Zhao Meijuan and Sun Yanyan again. They also wore a pair of old gloves on their hands.

After picking for a while, Zhou Xiaonan felt that his hands were getting more and more itchy.

She couldn't help but scratch it, and as a result, the scratched area began to turn red again.

"Xinran, do you still have gloves?"

Zhou Xiaonan couldn't help but asked.

Li Xinran shook his head, "No."

It was impossible for her. She was wearing a pair of gloves on her hands and a pair of gloves on her body.

Zhou Xiaonan asked Zhao Meijuan and Sun Yanyan again. Neither of them had extra gloves.

Wang Xiaoying on the side also felt a little uncomfortable in her hands at this time.

She became even more angry when she saw the gloves on the hands of Li Xinran and the others.

Why, she doesn’t have anything, but everyone else does.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiaonan didn't have gloves this time and was able to suffer with her.

Li Xinran didn't care so much, she just picked her peaches with peace of mind.

She would use the long bamboo pole with a hook to reach the peach branches, and then pick the peaches one by one.

After picking for a while, sweat broke out on the foreheads of several people.

A breeze blew by, and Li Xinran felt his body cool down instantly.

She accidentally glanced at Wang Xiaoying's position, where the breeze was blowing towards her face.

Along with it, Taozi's tiny fuzz also blew onto her face.

Wang Xiaoying seemed not to notice the fluff falling on her face, and she felt very comfortable and sighed.

Li Xinran looked at Wang Xiaoying and smiled.

She'll be the one to suffer while she waits for a break.

It took Li Xinran and five people almost an hour to finish picking the peach tree.

The crown of the peach tree is very large. Some branches bear no fruit at all, and some branches have extremely small fruits.

After picking, Li Xinran looked at most of the small peaches in the big basket and sighed,

"This peach tree doesn't even have a few big peaches, it's all small peaches."

Zhao Meijuan was on the side and responded,

"Last year's peaches were bigger than this year's."

"Yeah, this year's peaches seem to be smaller."

Sun Yanyan also followed and echoed.

Li Xinran said casually,

"If we prune those messy branches, maybe the peaches next year will be bigger."

Captain Zhao, who was patrolling back and forth in the orchard, stopped when he heard Li Xinran's words.

"Li Zhiqing, can you also prune fruit trees?"

"I've read it in the book." Li Xinran responded.

Captain Zhao put his hands behind his back and frowned, looking at the book again.

The last time I treated pigs, I read about it in a book. This pruning of fruit trees is something I also read about in a book.

Captain Zhao walked up to Li Xinran and asked,

"Li Zhiqing, why don't you tell me what the book says about pruning fruit trees?"

The orchard in their village is tended by people who have planted fruit trees before.

Regarding the problem of fruit trees, I have my own method.

Li Xinran recalled the ways she had seen pruning fruit trees in modern times.

There are also formulas she has heard before.

Li Xinran said,

"Captain Zhao, I read a formula in a book and I will read it to you."

"Don't leave the top in the south, leave the north in the north, leave no bottom in the east, leave no height in the west...it's ventilated and light-transmissive, and the fruit inside is strong..."

Captain Zhao listened to Li Xinran's words as if listening to the recitation of sutras.

However, if you take a closer look, there seems to be some truth to it.

These educated youths who have read books are just different. They all talk in the same way.
