Wind back to the farm

After dinner, Li Xia and two staff members discussed the details of the farm with the computer. Just after a few words, Shen Houren's phone rang. Shaoyang is gone."

Shaoyang is only about two hours away from Jiushang, Li Xia was surprised: "Didn't you just start in the morning, why so fast?"

Shen Houren said, "One o'clock in the morning."

"..." Li Xia, "Understood."

Shen Houren sent the location to the person in charge of the team, and Li Xia called his uncle and aunt to explain the situation. He will not be able to return to Lihuaao tonight.

Uncle answered the phone, and he said: "Then your aunt and I will not leave, and help you unload the car."

Shen Houren heard it from the side, and stretched his neck and said loudly: "Uncle, no need, the transportation company is responsible for sending the saplings up the mountain, and they have to unload them and arrange them. This is agreed in the power of attorney."

Gong Bao waved at Li Xia anxiously at the side with a pale face: Don't let other people come, don't.

Li Xia thought of the strange ditching speed of these two people at noon, and Shen Jiuzhou's ability to flatten the ground, his thoughts changed, and he worded carefully: "Uncle, saplings are delicate, and the transportation distance this time is relatively long. I found a company that specializes in tree and flower excavation, transportation, including planting. They have a full set of professional equipment. When the time comes, the few of us will watch from the side and will not do it.

Grandma and grandpa are so old, there must be someone around at night, so you and your aunt should go back. "

Uncle was still worried: "Twenty carts of saplings, how many of you..."

Li Xia said: "They usually take over the landscaping and beautification projects of the whole city, and my work is not even considered a snack in their company."

Uncle said, "All right."

No matter how good my grandparents are, they are over 80 years old, so they are really worried.

Putting down the phone, Li Xia looked at the two employees: "Is there really no need for me to find someone to help unload the car?"

Shen Houren nodded: "No, boss, what you told uncle just now is actually the truth. The transportation company I'm looking for does have professional tools for digging and loading and unloading trees."

Gong Bao muttered softly: "There is no need for them to unload it at all. You should save the money and help the farm build infrastructure."

Shen Houren pretended not to hear, and he was not the one who contacted the transportation company, so how dare he talk too much about his brother's work?

Li Xia rubbed his chin for a while and said, "Xiao Shen, make a phone call and ask them to go to Qinghe, so that the convoy will not pass the entrance of Dajiling Village, and turn right on the road leading to Jimingling in the north. Just dump the saplings by the side of the road."

Shen Houren said with a simple and honest face: "That's what I was going to tell you."

Li Xia asked, "Are you going out this afternoon?" Otherwise, he wouldn't know the way.

Gong Bao said: "We watched the computer for a long time, and our eyes were uncomfortable, so we took a stroll by the side of the farm."

Of course Li Xia would not believe that they 'just wandered around for a while', but these two are employees of the farm, and they only want to contribute to the farm, so there is no need to dwell on these details, so he nodded and said: "Then let's Just wait until they are about to arrive, and now continue with our business."

The two employees exchanged a smug look and turned to their respective computers with enthusiasm.

At 22:[-], the team called Shen Houren, and they arrived in Qinglong Town.

The three of them put on their coats, took a shortcut with the two dogs and ran towards the hill northwest of the farm.

Seeing the car slowly coming into view in the night, Li Xia thought he was hallucinating.

He pointed to the double-decker ultra-long cage car specially used to transport cars and asked Shen Houren: "Is this the big car you mentioned?"

Shen Houren said dissatisfiedly: "Well, the specification of road trucks stipulated by the law is too small. If I deliver it all at once today, I can concentrate on planting in the future. Now, I have to make another trip, so I can't do it." Research new varieties with peace of mind."

When the convoy arrived, Li Xia pointed to the big trees on the car with a diameter of about 35 centimeters, a length of more than 30 meters, and their crowns wrapped in tarpaulin to form the torch head, and asked him again: "Is this the sapling you mentioned?"

Shen Houren said with a look of disdain: "Well, if the tree is less than 30 years old, what is it if it is not a sapling?"

Li Xia took a deep breath, and then asked: "How old are you, the plantation your parents rented for you?"

Shen Houren said: "My mother told me that they took me home for about three months, and then they started looking for a place.

My dad ran with them to several farms and suburban nurseries, and finally chose this plantation because I peed as soon as I got there and wet my dad’s clothes a lot. My parents thought that my Behavior is just like Shanxia and Chuxia, they want to occupy the land, and I want to rent it out because I like it there. "

Li Xia thought that Shen Jiuzhou's "adoption" was a special term, referring to all behaviors of "bringing home children who are not his own to raise", but he did not expect that Shen Houren was actually "carried" back, Li Xia He was so entangled that he even ignored another important and weird message in this sentence: how could the second elder of the Shen family rent a plantation for a child who was still in his infancy.

He continued, "How big is that plantation of yours?"

Shen Houren's face was a bit downcast: "It's less than 3000 mu. My mother originally wanted to rent a farm next door with more than [-] mu. My brother refused, so my mother...huh."

Li Xia shook his head, shaking the head of a doting old mother out of his mind, and asked: "How many trees of this size are there?"

Shen Houren blurted out: "The [-] trees you are referring to, the ones on those cars, look, they are slightly smaller than this one, [-] trees, and there are many more, I will make a list for you tomorrow, boss, I'm going to unload the car now."

Li Xia said: "I didn't see any professional loading and unloading tools."

"Yes, there are many." Shen Houren said courteously, "But boss, you are the boss, don't bother with such trivial matters, just leave it to me and Gong Bao.

See those straw baskets?That's the fruit I grew. When I knew I was coming to you, the fruit in my garden had already been snapped up, and I kept this for myself to eat in the winter.

If my brother had told me earlier, I would definitely not have sold it, and I would have kept it for you, the boss. "

Li Xia looked at the at least one hundred baskets, and thought, even if it was a bucket, it wouldn't be able to hold so many things in one winter, right?

But the employee’s kindness cannot but be appreciated. He said, “Thank you. Just give me a basket to try everything. I heard that you are more particular about your diet, so you can save more for yourself.”

Shen Houren wanted to be polite, but Gong Bao was yelling over there to tell him to hurry up and unload the goods, otherwise he would not be able to finish the work before dawn.

Shen Houren responded, and said to Li Xia: "You can find a place to rest. After Gong Bao and I finish working, you can come and check." After speaking, he ran to direct the convoy to unload the goods.

Even if Li Xia didn't want to rest, it was not his turn to unload the truck.

The unloading tools of the transportation company are really professional and easy to use, and they were all unloaded in less than three hours.

There are a total of 5 cars, 10 and a half of which are giant baby saplings, only half of the cars are filled with real saplings with a trunk diameter of about [-] cm, and one car is full of saplings with a trunk diameter of about [-] cm.

Twenty carts of saplings (?) were neatly stacked within the northern boundary of the farm, and the length was almost as long as the north and south walls of Daji Ridge.

In the cab of a car, Li Xia settled accounts with the head of the team: the cost of tree digging had already been paid, and he only paid for the transportation and unloading costs: 1666000 yuan.

Li Xia bargained and wiped away 6000 as a change.

The person in charge of the team accepted the electronic check sent by Lixia, and extended his hand with a smile; "Thank you!"

Li Xia endured the pain and said, "You're welcome."

The person in charge said: "Mr. Shen is very sincere when he said that he paid all the expenses."

Li Xia said: "I know, but this is the first fee after the registration of the farm, and I want to pay it myself."

The person in charge said: "Understanding, the first step in starting a business, has a special meaning."

Shen Jiuzhou has an appointment with the transportation company, and he will pay all the expenses for excavating, transporting and loading and unloading these saplings, and the excavation expenses have already been paid.

But Li Xia is not that thick-skinned. He has stayed in several large fruit tree bases before, knows the price of fruit trees, and knows how troublesome it is to transport and maintain trees. Shen Jiuzhou helped him deal with a large number of saplings and transported the saplings to the gate of the farm. , He has already saved a lot of trouble, if he pretends to be confused about money, he will be too careless.

As for the money for these saplings, it will be calculated after Shen Jiuzhou comes back. If the money is given to Shen Houren, he is afraid that the money will be lost in some magical way, and he will not be able to explain it to Shen Jiuzhou.

The convoy comes and goes in the dark.

Li Xia checked the time, it was [-]:[-] in the morning.

This season, it is dawn around 06:30.

Li Xia turned around and saw two employees jumping high on the spot in a...competition?

He ran over, and the two employees stopped bouncing and rubbed their hands and sleeves instead.

Li Xia asked, "What do you mean?"

Shen Houren: "Warm up."

Gongbao: "Ready to start work"

Li Xia said, "Don't tell me, you plan to plant twenty carts of trees yourself."

Gong Bao pushed Li Xia to the nearest hillside: "Come out, come out... Boss, you are the boss, you just need to clearly state the desired result, how to do it is our business, you just wait for the acceptance results."

Shen Houren followed beside him: "Yes, the boss only needs to come up with an idea, and it is the employee's responsibility to realize the idea."

Gong Bao pushed Li Xia to a protruding boulder, took off his coat, and spread it on the southeast side of the lee under the boulder: "The wind is strong, you sit here, come out, come out...well, boss, sit here and watch Let's do it."

Li Xia was puzzled: He didn't say anything, why is this guy so anxious again?Also, the back here is facing the place where the saplings are placed, why does he watch two people doing it?

Shen Houren also took off his coat, and put it on Li Xia: "Boss, go to sleep, the work is left to us two."

He called Chuxia and Shanxia again: "Come on, have a little insight, and warm up the boss's legs."

Chuxia and Shanxia looked at him with the eyes of the mentally retarded.

Li Xia couldn't imagine the situation where the two of them planted tens of thousands of trees. He called his two sons to his side and said to Shen Houren and Gong Bao: "You can do as much as you can. Don't force it. I will ask Uncle Da to help you tomorrow." Shout out through the loudspeaker and ask the people from Dajiling to help plant it, if not, there is also Jimingling, and there are hundreds of laborers in their village.”

Shen Houren was impatient: "Planting trees is my specialty. I was born to plant trees, and I don't need help."

"You have to give money to find someone, don't want it." Gongbao also resisted Li Xia's proposal, "I, I, I am also very good at planting trees and flowers, just this little tree, Lao Shen and the two of us will plant it slowly, guarantee 100% Survival rate, out, out, out... Boss, just... leave it alone."

Seeing that he had forced the employees to stutter again, Li Xia had no choice but to say, "Okay, then, thank you in advance!"

Shen Houren rushed over excitedly: "Boss, boss, you, do you really want to thank us? Then, that, that, can you whistle a few times?"

Gong Bao forced Li Xia to sit on his coat, then looked at Li Xia eagerly.

Li Xia said with disdain: "It's midnight, why are you whistling? Go work hard."

The two employees didn't care about his attitude at all, and continued to look at him eagerly, and found that Li Xia really didn't mean to whistle, and he was not very disappointed. Instead, he rushed to the saplings with great enthusiasm, and each of them picked up two trees that were less than 30 years old. The saplings who were despised in the past year ran to the depths of the farm.

Li Xia lowered his head and adjusted his coat and said: "Plan it well, make the place where passers-by can see it look normal, the south is our back garden, as long as it is beautiful, don't plant all the fruit trees there."

"Don't worry, boss."

The voices of the two employees came from afar, impassioned.

Li Xia was not at ease at all, but it was already like this, he decided to be more confident and trust his employees.

Although the stone is big, it can't stop the cold wind in early winter. Fortunately, he is not afraid of the cold.

Leaning on the boulder, let the two dogs and sons lie down beside him, looked at the distant night and thought for a while, then Li Xia gently played "Dance of Spring".

Now is not the best time to plant trees, but if done correctly and managed with care, trees in any season can survive.

Although it is not spring, the first need for a tree to grow is to take root. The process of rooting is also growth, which is the same as the budding of trees in spring.

In Li Xia's mind, the Shenyi Tomb appeared. When spring came, the buds of apricot trees, pear trees, cherries, apples, and buds burst out little by little, from ugly dark red balls to blossoming Showy flowers.

Sumac and thorns struggle upward in the barren rock crevices, stretching their branches to welcome the sun and rain.

The wild thorns under the thorns climb inch by inch on the ground, looking for sunshine and spring breeze...

Yellow elm money is floating with the wind, and acacia flowers are falling silently. They are as small as dust, but on a certain day, they grow into a sky full of prosperity.

……

A cock crow broke the silence.

Li Xia opened his eyes, the morning light was twilight, the distant mountains and nearby trees were clearly visible, the flowers all over the sky in his dream were still swaying in his mind, but he heard the sound of gurgling water in his ears.

Opening his eyes, Li Xia was stunned to find that Shanxia and Qiuxia were sleeping soundly on his lap.

The two guys are sensitive by nature, have received strict training, and have experienced countless dangers. Even if they are not in the mission state, they sleep with one eye open. They never sleep like this, just like babies who have no idea .

Li Xia was a little worried, he stretched out his hand and touched Chu Xia's head.

With just a very light movement, Shanxia and Chuxia opened their eyes at the same time, and there seemed to be stars shining in the eyes of the two dogs.

Li Xia patted Qiu Xia on the head: "Did you catch a three-hundred-jin wild boar?"

Chuxia rubbed against his knee.

Pat Shanxia on the head again: "What about you, did you marry a fairy dog ​​in your dream?"

Sugishita murmured softly, putting his head in his palm.

Li Xia laughed loudly: "What did you two dream about, that you can be so comfortable? But, no matter how comfortable it is, we have to get up. There are still people working hard over there, waiting for me to check the work."

The two dogs stood up at the same time, and slapped the southeast vigorously a few times, like throwing water off their bodies after taking a bath.

Li Xia stood up, rubbed his face, picked up the coats of the two employees and turned around the boulder. He was about to call out to see where they were, but he was stunned by the fresh smell lingering on the tip of his nose and the scene in front of him as if the spring rain had just stopped up.

He looked at himself suspiciously, then touched his shoulders and hair, making sure they were all dry, and the two dogs didn't splash out water droplets just now.

Squat down, and then touch the stones and the soil under the sumac, which is wet.

He stood up, out of the corner of his eye, there seemed to be a streamer shining in the southwest.

Li Xia looked carefully and found that it was just the morning light reflected by the rainy leaves.

He shouted: "Shen Hou Ren Gong Bao, where is it?"

"This way, this way, the boss's side." On the hilltop No. 6 in the southwest, a figure was waving and jumping, it was Gongbao.

Li Xia raised his legs to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned around.

There are no saplings like the city wall on the roadside, only a few scattered leaves on the ground, which proves that there has indeed been a relatively large tree unloading project here.

The fruit baskets were gone too.

Li Xia exhaled deeply, telling himself that this was just a scientific event in a supernatural cloak.

Shanxia and Qiuxia took the lead in the front, turning over the hill where they were, and Li Xia saw some saplings (?)

The reason why he could tell the difference was because the crowns of the saplings sent last night were all tied up, and the branches hadn't fully returned to their natural state at this time.

Li Xia ran down the hillside and came to a giant baby sapling.

Trees with a height of about 30 meters and a diameter of about 35 centimeters have large roots, and a hole with a diameter of at least one and a half meters can be planted.

The soil layer of this mountain is relatively good, and there are some tall trees growing on it. However, all the places where the soil layer on this mountain can support a large tree have been occupied by native trees before. If a foreign giant baby seedling wants to have a foothold and take root, it can only break open the cracks in the rocks and dig deep, and it will most likely fail.

But as far as Li Xia could see at the moment, the mounds sealed under all the saplings perfectly matched the surrounding environment, and the surrounding stones, shrubs, and grass had not been moved at all, as if there was a vacant space between them. The soil, the soil is just enough to grow a tree.

Li Xia and his two sons continued walking until they reached another hill, where the situation was exactly the same as the previous one.

Li Xia raised his head, the sky was blue and the clouds were white; when he lowered his head, it was useless for a dog to turn into a human.

He told himself: This is really science, but he has no knowledge and does not understand the profound theories behind these sciences.

They came to Shen Houren and Gong Bao. The two employees were covered in mud, their trouser legs were rolled up to their calves, and the sweat on their faces represented hard work. They looked like they had worked hard for three days and three nights. .

Li Xia said: "The trouser legs are rolled too contrived, that is the image of a farmer uncle 100 years ago."

Shen Houren hurriedly bent down to put it down, and only remembered to ask halfway through, "Boss, what should I be like now?"

It's really deep into the play.

Li Xia sighed inwardly and said, "Don't hold back. If someone asks, just say that you have hired a professional tree planting team. We are only responsible for supervision. It is best if no one asks."

"Hey." The two employees put down their trouser legs happily.

But Shen Houren didn't stand up straight after putting down his trouser legs, but lay down on the spot.
