Buddhist supplier daily [farming]

Looking closer, the peach tree looks even more desolate and desolate. There are very few leaves on the branches and treetops, all of which are mottled with yellow spots, dry and fragile, as if they will fall off with a slight blow.Under the peach tree is a thick layer of dead branches and leaves, which rustle when stepped on. Only a few leaves remain on the tip of the whole tree. Compared with the dense green plants around it, it is even more desolate.

Pei Yu was very distressed. He just didn't come for a few days and didn't take good care of the peach tree. He never expected it to wither.

He leaned closer and observed the branches carefully. There were no insect eyes and no disease. Then why did the lush peach trees become like this in just a few days?Pei Yu looked at the grafting joints that were still wrapped in plastic wrap. The newly grown peach branches were as thick as a little finger, and several long branches branched out.

Facing the bare peach branches, Pei Yu saw that the branches were not dead brown, and the nodes and branches were still glowing with a touch of green. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, it must be the autumn of peach trees, right? ? !The little peach has gone through the budding period from breaking out of the ground, and slowly growing into a tree with dense branches and leaves.

Small farms shorten the growth cycle of plants. On the same piece of land, plants planted in different periods can show the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The buds are green and white, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the branches and leaves are yellow. One piece of land has one scene. Is it the scene in front of him?

Peach trees usually don’t start to bear fruit until the second year. This year’s small peaches only grow branches and leaves, and grow tall. They have not yet bloomed and bear fruit.Think about the previous rapeseed, which also bloomed and set seeds after growing wildly, wilting and drying...

Pei Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief as he became more and more sure of his thoughts.He recalled what he had read in the planting guide. The peaches in "autumn" gradually stopped growing and began to slowly store up nutrients to prepare for the blooming of a tree of pink and delicate peach blossoms in the spring of the coming year.

At this time, it is necessary to prune the branches of the peach tree. After the branches are cut short, it can promote the germination of new branches and leaves.The bottom of the peach tree is full of fallen leaves, which can be turned over with a shovel and buried deep in the ground. First, the soil can be loosened and deep plowed, and second, the fallen leaves can be turned into spring mud to grow flowers.

Pei Yu thought about it, and started to work, no longer worried that the peach tree would be exhausted, he knew that the little peach was just accumulating nutrients.

After he took good care of the peach tree, he was sweating profusely and drank the spring water by the stream, so Pei Yu was able to continue looking at other crops.The corn seedlings grow up to knee height, the lettuce grows lush and green again, and the bell peppers also like humidity and are not resistant to drought and waterlogging. Pei Yu dug a ravine himself for drainage, and there is also a place for people to walk. The whole land was covered by him. Well taken care of.

After finishing everything, Pei Yu went back to bed and fell into a deep sleep. He slept until after nine o'clock, because he was busy at the small farm for too long at night, and it was the first time he fell asleep so late.Song Yingli felt sorry for the child, and she didn't specifically wake up the two brothers so that they could sleep comfortably.

After eating porridge, Pei Kun happily went out to play with his classmates.

In the kitchen, Pei Yu shared his thoughts with Song Yingli: "Mom, this summer vacation is one and a half months, I want to go out and find a part-time job during the day, so as not to delay my evening studies..."

When Song Yingli heard this, she instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she saw Pei Yu's firm and assertive appearance, she felt embarrassed and sad. She parted her lips several times, and finally said, "This... what kind of person is Ah Yu looking for?" Part-time job? You are still young, don't tire yourself out."

"Now the orchards and farms in the suburbs may need help fertilizing and bagging the fruit. They should be short of people."

Some farmers have several acres of land planted with grapefruits, oranges, etc., which bloom in summer and bear fruit soon after pollination. To harvest large and plump fruits, additional fertilization must be applied during this period.

Song Yingli naturally didn't want her child to work under the harsh sunlight, and she couldn't bear to stop her, so she had to remind her again: "If the workload is too heavy and tiring, we can change it... It doesn't have to be a part-time job. Mom still has some savings." .”

Pei Yu repeatedly told her that he would definitely pay attention to safety and take care of himself.

He doesn't look for other part-time jobs, and insists on working in the farmers' orchards. In fact, he has his own little thoughts.

Pei Yu intends to visit the market first, after all, there are the most people there.He happened to meet the uncle who gave him the peach buds again, and the two had impressions of each other, and the uncle asked how his peaches were doing.

"It's alive, it's sprouting branches and leaves!" Pei Yu said, he didn't dare to say that the peach tree in his small farm had entered the bleak autumn.

The uncle nodded approvingly after hearing this, and asked again: "Are you here this time, do you want to buy some seedlings?" Only then did Pei Yu tell him why he came.

Unexpectedly, after listening to his words, the uncle said to him thoughtfully: "My brother's family has a four-acre mountain orchard, which has always been taken care of by him and his wife. During this time, my brother-in-law is pregnant, and the family really has plans Get help. Are you going to try it?"

"Yeah, okay." Pei Yu responded. This was a surprise. After all, the farmers at home usually have fixed helpers, and his kind of temporary and short-term ones may not be wanted.

When the uncle closes the gear at noon, he takes Pei Yu with him. He and his younger brother are both in the countryside. It takes more than 40 minutes to ride a motorcycle, and it takes longer to ride a bicycle.

Pei Yu has already made an agreement with her mother, let her not worry, she has grown up.

The uncle's surname is Wang, and there are two children in the family, one in the fourth grade and one in the first grade. The siblings fight and fight every day.Uncle Wang took him directly to his younger brother's house. This area is full of mountains and fields, interspersed with trails, which is completely different from the high-rise buildings in the city.

Every household here has a dog, and every disturbance will cause a burst of dog barking.In the pond in the field, ducks swim in groups, and a group of chickens peck at the rice drying field.

Pei Yu quietly looked at everything imprinted in his eyes. There was only one house far away from here, and the whole house was surrounded by bamboo and pine trees. Uncle Wang's younger brother's house was at the foot of the mountain, and his big house was close to the mountain. , the mountain is full of green bamboo, pine and poinciana.At this time, the blooming flowers on the crown of the poinciana tree are as red as flames, as rich and gorgeous as the crown of a phoenix, which is astonishingly beautiful.

"Hey, we're here." The uncle stopped the car at the door, and his brother's black dog recognized him, and only barked twice before wagging its tail to welcome him.

Pei Yu met Uncle Wang's younger brother, who was about 35 or six years old and had dark skin. When he saw Pei Yu, he immediately said, "...I don't employ child labor."

"..." Pei Yu, a 16-year-old child laborer, was at a loss.

Uncle Wang had already learned about Pei Yu's situation when he was on the road, so he patted his younger brother on the shoulder as soon as he heard it, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Uncle Wang's brother looked at Pei Yu twice, and finally let go: "Okay."

Wang Jianguo said goodbye to his younger brother as he was going home for dinner.Wang Jianjun took Pei Yu for a walk around the orchard. His orchard was in the mountains not far behind the house. Their pomelo trees were all planted on the hill, and they climbed up the hill in a row. The tree is not tall, but there are many small grapefruits hanging. When the grapefruits grow up and set fruit, they will start bagging to protect the fruit.

Wang Jianjun didn't say much. He took him to look around and asked, "What can I do? It's not easy."

"Okay, when do I start?"

"Fertilize with me after lunch."

Pei Yu met Wang Jianjun's wife during the meal. She was four months pregnant, and there was a five-year-old boy at home, with watery eyes and wheat-colored skin, and looked very strong.

Unlike Wang Jianjun, his wife was very enthusiastic. Knowing that Pei Yu would help with fertilization in the afternoon, she told him to eat more. She also made mung bean soup. Working in the sun on a hot day, drinking mung bean soup would not prevent heatstroke.

It is not difficult to loosen the soil and bury fertilizer. You can get started after seeing it once, but the difficulty is to persist in finishing it.When Pei Yu finished, his whole body was soaked in sweat.Although Wang Jianjun didn't speak, he kept paying attention to him. Seeing him working hard without any complaints, he already accepted the temporary child in his heart.

"Drink a bowl of mung bean soup and wipe off your sweat." Wang Jianjun went back to the house with him. "The last bus leaves at six o'clock, so we can make it back to the city." It's only five o'clock now.

"it is good."

"You will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Can you come here at eight in the morning? Have breakfast and lunch here, and I will give you ninety a day."

"Yes!" Pei Yu agreed in surprise.

Pei Yu just broke out in sweat, and he drank a bowl of cool mung bean soup, which made him feel very comfortable.Wang Jianjun said that his salary would be settled at the end of the month, knowing that he had no money with him, so he gave him two yuan to take the bus.

The nearest bus station was 800 meters away. Pei Yu got off the bus and ran home quickly.Song Yingli wore beads all afternoon and was about to cook porridge. When she saw Pei Yu coming back, she hurried over: "You're back? Why are you sweating all over? Did you go to the field to help today?"

Pei Yu told Ms. Song everything about this afternoon. Seeing that he still wanted to finish, Ms. Song urged him to take a bath: "Don't catch a cold if you sweat, bring clean clothes tomorrow, and go home after work." Put it on before going home."

"it is good."

After working all day during the day, Pei Yu didn't feel his hands and feet were sore at night, which had never happened in the small farm, and his fatigue from working in the small farm would not be reflected in his body.

After eating, Cheng Zexian called him downstairs, and Pei Yu quickly came down to open the door for him.Their homes are three streets apart, and it takes only 10 minutes to walk slowly.They made an appointment to study together in the evening.Cheng Zi came to his house this week, and next time he went to Cheng Zi's house, and returned home at 09:30.

"Chengzi!" Pei Yu greeted him as soon as he opened the door.

"Well, I'm here." Cheng Zexian walked over with his schoolbag on his back.

Song Yingli greeted Cheng Zexian and let the children go about their activities. She also watched Cheng Zi grow up.

Pei Kun was watching TV in Song Yingli's bedroom. Ms. Song closed the door and sat on the side weaving flowers, asking him to turn down the volume. The two brothers were studying outside.

As soon as they sat down, they each took out the set of practice questions and began to write. Cheng Zexian did it very quickly. Seeing that the people around him were still writing the penultimate big question, he silently took out the book he brought over and started to read.

"Chengzi, I finished writing too." After another 15 minutes, Pei Yu finally finished writing all the questions. The two of them did it by pinching their watches, and they had enough time.

"Hurry up, come on, let's correct each other."

"it is good."

Correcting the test papers of the other party will give you a much deeper impression on yourself. Knowing what the other party did wrong, you will also find that the two have different ways of solving problems.

"Very good, I miscalculated one of the fill-in-the-blank questions, and I also miscalculated one result of the big question." After Cheng Zexian corrected it, he gave him the test paper to correct.

Cheng Zexian gave the wrong multiple-choice questions, and the major questions were almost all the same as the reference answers.

"Oranges are too powerful." Pei Yu sighed.

"...The teacher's questions are simple, half of the questions are done by us, and the numbers are just changed." Cheng Zexian saw that he had changed into pajamas, and he seemed to have taken a shower, "Did you go out today?"

Pei Yu also told him about his going to the orchard to help.

Cheng Zexian frowned: "Tired?" He knew that hoeing for the first time would be very tiring, especially the second day, when his hands would be too sore to lift.

"It's okay, my hands are a little sore now."

"I'll rub it for you." I have to go to work tomorrow, and my hands are sore and numb.

Pei Yu said softly "Ah?", and saw Cheng Zexian standing up, behind him, put his hands on his shoulders, and kneaded him.

"Oops!" Pei Yu moaned unexpectedly, Chengzi's technique was really skillful and powerful, every kneading was just right on the point, Pei Yu only felt that his sore shoulders were immediately massaged and kneaded comfortably .

He is ticklish, and he can squeeze oranges well, but when he massages near his neck, he can't help shrinking his neck and shoulders, and this shrinking also pinches Cheng Zexian's hand.

Cheng Zexian behind lowered his head, pulled out his hand with a slight smile, and continued to pinch his shoulders. Pei Yu was too thin, as if he only had a skeleton when he pinched it. His fair and warm skin was a little red, probably because he had been in the sun for too long today .

"When you go to the orchard tomorrow, wear an extra long-sleeved thin coat." Cheng Zexian said, "Do you have a hat? If not, I'll bring you one. Don't get sunburned."

"Yeah, Chengzi, you are so kind to me." Pei Yu smiled with his eyes closed, and no one had ever massaged his shoulders before, so it was so comfortable.

Cheng Zexian responded with a soft "hmm" nasally, and began to pinch his arm.

Pei Yu also asked about Cheng Zi's part-time job. He now works in a milk tea shop all day during the day, and two days a week he goes to tutor third-year junior high school students in mathematics.

When the time came, Pei Yu sent people downstairs, stood at the door and watched Cheng Zexian walk out of the alleyway, and then closed the door and went back to the house.

Pei Yu is very able to endure hardships. Once he got used to the work in the orchard, his body did not feel sore or tired.He woke up very early in the day, took a small vocabulary book and waited for the bus, recited words silently all the way, went to Wang Jianjun’s house, ate two bowls of porridge and a meat bun with pickled cabbage shredded pork, and soon started working .

Wang Jianjun was afraid that he would not be able to catch the bus, so he usually called off work after five o'clock. His wife always left the child to eat a bowl of mung bean soup or tonic before letting him go.Pei Yu was not as stiff and uneasy as he was at the beginning, because Wang Jianjun's family treated him very well.

And Pei Yu could finally go home with the corn from the small farm openly.

"Mom, these are lettuce and corn from Uncle Jianjun's house. They grow a lot, so they gave me a bundle."

Song Yingli didn't doubt it, she steamed the fresh and plump corn cobs that night, and before the pot was opened, the strong corn aroma had already filled the whole room.This corn is soft and sticky corn. The yellow and white corn kernels are arranged tightly and tightly. After steaming, eat it while it is hot, and bite it down. It is soft and sweet, and the more you chew, the sweeter it is. It is not like the hard and sweet corn of old corn. Crisp, this kind of corn tastes very solid.

The three of them hadn't eaten corn for a long time. Pei Kun ate two big ones in one go. Song Yingli also felt an unspeakable deliciousness after eating it. It seemed that she hadn't eaten such delicious corn for a long time.

After Pei Yu finished eating the corn, there was still a sweet taste in his mouth. He left two big corn cobs in the pot, and when Cheng Zexian came at night, he would heat them up and give them to him.

"I just finished eating, I'm not hungry, you should eat more." If you are so skinny, you need to eat more.

"Xiao Kun and I both ate two stalks of corn, which are specially reserved for you. Come on, eat slowly." Pei Yu gently pushed the big bowl over.

Cheng Zexian paused for a moment, then picked up the corn cobs, took off his coat, and started to eat slowly.Soft and glutinous, with sweet juice and soft corn germ, it is delicious.

Pei Yu secretly laughed, and the people around him were eating silently, reading books while eating. This desk was originally used by Pei Yu and Pei Kun brothers to do their homework. They were very close, and their arms were also close together. As soon as they were quiet, they could hear each other's clear breathing.

When sending him downstairs, Pei Yu took out another bag of corn from nowhere, handed it to Cheng Zexian and said, "Mom said, this corn is soft and sweet, and even grandma can eat it. I'll take it home and cook it for you."

Under the dim light, the man in front of him smiled so much that his eyes seemed to glow, his face was really rosy from the sun for a long time, and the eyes that looked straight at him only made Cheng Zexian feel confused for a while.

"...Well, thank you. You go to bed early and see you tomorrow night." He took the bag and unconsciously engraved Pei Yu's smile in his heart.
