Chapter Twenty-Six Planting Fruit Trees

  At night, Chu Jiaqiang still didn't find Little Jin and felt puzzled in his heart. He secretly thought that the little guy might have left and felt a bit sorry. Actually, Chu Jiaqiang still quite liked that little elf. But he also knew that the mountain was its home, so he sighed and shook his head, thinking to himself: let things take their natural course!

  Back to the old house, still the same. Chu Jia Yan occupied the computer, and this girl also applied for a QQ number. But there are only three friends inside, one of whom is still Chu Jia Qiang, who is still waiting for the elusive information, which makes Chu Jia Qiang very speechless.

  The Chu family was strong, so he calculated that kind of expense, and he frowned greatly. Now adding the 20,000 from Second Uncle, he had less than 30,000 left. For such a large reservoir, how many fish fry would need to be put in? Two or three hundred thousand thrown in wouldn't even splash up any water flowers.

  After hesitating for a long time, Chu Jiaqiang finally scolded himself for being stupid and not using the huge treasure trove. He could buy a small batch of fish fry and put them in the small stream on Shanhe Map, and after ten or half a month, it would be several years inside, and that batch of fish fry would have bred countless generations, so why worry about not having enough fish fry?

  The next morning, Chu Jiaxiong came over. On this day, Er Shu didn't have other things to do, so he temporarily handed over the work of collecting shells to Er Yi and Chu Shengyi, and went with Chu Jiaqiang to plant trees in the mountain valley.

  "What method is this?" Ershu asked as he arrived at the valley.

  "This valley is like an inverted U shape, I plan to plant grapes around it, and the grape rack will be built slowly, no rush; in the middle, divide into two areas, one for peaches and the other for cherries; a row of big trees will be planted in front." Chu Jiaqiang said, pointing at the valley.

  "Alright, let's get started! First, we'll plant the fruit trees, and then we can clear away the grass later." Second Uncle isn't a procrastinator either, he gets things done quickly.

  "These grasses don't need to be removed, just remove the part that is close to the fruit seedlings. We are now developing ecological agriculture, these grasses have the function of retaining water and soil, and also have a scenic effect." Chu Jiaqiang shook his head.

  Second Uncle and Chu Jiaxiong didn't quite understand the theory in Chu Jiaqiang's mouth, but now they also followed Chu Jiaqiang as the leader. He said whatever he wanted to do, just do it. After all, Gu Lin is yours, and the idea was also your own, just don't mess it up.

  The three of them worked together, with Chu Jiaxiong taking the lead in carrying the heavy tree saplings. Second Uncle wanted to leave the lighter work for Chu Jiaqiang, so he took over the hoe and started digging holes. Chu Jiaqiang was responsible for planting the trees and filling in the soil.

  According to plan, he wanted to loosen the soil in the tree planting area first and then plant it after two days. But those fruit seedlings couldn't wait too long, which was not thought of at the beginning.

  "It's so sparse!" Second Uncle frowned and asked.

  "Now the saplings are relatively small, so they look sparse, but it will be different in the future. The density of this kind is suitable, even if they grow up, they won't affect branching and leafing." Chu Jiaqiang explained.

  "It's probably harder for them to grow up this way." Second Uncle is a farmer, and his experience with planting is also quite sufficient. Plants that are too sparse, without competition in growth, find it very hard to grow big.

  "Hmm! Don't worry, it's not good to plant them too densely. If the fruit trees are too crowded, they will produce fewer flowers and fruits, and may even affect the quality of the fruits due to insufficient sunlight." Chu Jiaqiang was not worried about growth issues.

  Second Uncle nodded thoughtfully, and this principle was understood a bit more clearly by Chu's family, he also understood.

  Chu Jia's strong general, Tree Seedling, had brought all the seedlings over. Chu Jia said strongly: "A Xiong, come and help out. I'll go fetch water, these fruit trees have just been planted, they need to be watered or else they won't survive."

  "Big brother! Let me handle this rough work!" Chu Jiaxiong immediately took over.

  Chu Jiaqiang shook his head, and after a while, he secretly poured spiritual water into the water, which couldn't be replaced by others.

  "What nonsense are you talking about! Do you think I'm afraid of you? Believe it or not, my strength is greater than yours!" Chu Jiaqiang thought to himself that he wouldn't show off his skills, and Second Uncle would really take on all the heavy work with this young man.

  After finishing, he picked up the largest pineapple tree with one hand. The pineapple tree weighed over 100 kilograms, and although Chu Jiaxiong carried it on his shoulder without much effort, he absolutely couldn't do it like Chu Jiaqiang, who lifted it up with one hand effortlessly.

  Second Uncle was also startled and thought to himself, "When did this kid become so strong?"

  "Wow! Your strength is amazing! I don't think anyone in the village can match it!" Chu Jiaxiong exclaimed sincerely.

  "It's nothing! Do you still remember that old Taoist priest from before? He could run with a huge boulder of over 200 catties, no problem. I found out that he was actually the most impressive one, but who knows where he ran off to in these years." Chu Jiaqiang thought of that somewhat abnormal old Taoist priest again.

  "Yes! That old Taoist priest had helped our Chu family village a lot in the past, his medical skills were indeed remarkable, he could basically solve all the illnesses in the village, but then he disappeared like that." Second Uncle also recalled that old Taoist priest who had saved many lives, and how he had left without saying goodbye, leaving everyone in the village puzzled.

  This time, Chu Jiaqiang carried two stainless steel buckets to a nearby stream and filled them with water. When no one was paying attention, he secretly added one-fifth of the spiritual water.

  Three people are all capable, but only one-third of the workload is done in a morning, it seems that today's work will not be finished.

  At noon, they went back to have lunch, and the three of them worked non-stop again. By evening, there were still over 200 peach trees left untransplanted.

  "Tomorrow you don't have to come over, I can handle the rest myself. Now that I'm a farmer too, I shouldn't rely on you for everything." Chu Jiaqiang said.

  Second Uncle was about to speak with Chu Jiaxiong, but after hearing Chu Jiaqiang's explanation, they all fell silent. Bringing this up made Second Uncle angry: You're a university graduate, and you come back here to be a farmer? If it weren't for the fact that this kid has brought in some real benefits from his hometown, he would have kicked him out of the village long ago.

  "Hmm! That makes sense, Ah Xiong! Don't come tomorrow, let him experience some of the hardships of farmers, so he won't always think that being a farmer is easy." Second Uncle said afterwards.
