Even if Wang Sufen doesn't know how to count, she still knows what seven or eight times means. The yellow peaches she sold twice this year totaled nearly 60 yuan, which is equivalent to two months' salary of a worker, and almost catches up with a year's harvest from the fields. .

If the tree is bigger next year, and it really weighs seventy or eighty pounds per tree as Li Cuihua said, then it won't make a fortune?

Moreover, trees are different from rice. The trees are getting bigger every year, and the harvest is getting more and more every year. Then won’t the life of the Wang family get better and better in the future?

Thinking of the fruit trees all over the mountains and plains covered with fruit, Wang Sufen couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, let's plant trees, but where can we buy these trees?"

Upon hearing that Wang Sufen agreed, the two brothers He Dayong were overjoyed.

"This is simple. It is said that the neighboring township is also promoting it. It will be planted this year, but many people are unwilling to plant it. We will go to the neighboring township to buy it."

"Yes, we have inquired about it a long time ago. They are sold in the next town."

He Fangmin frowned and said, "Why don't we wait until next year? Our family planted rice early this year. Did we pull out all the rice seedlings?"

Wang Sufen said: "Pull it out? Why do you need to pull it out? Just plant it directly in the ground. The tree will be small in the first year and it will not affect the harvest."

He Dayong smiled and said, "Yes, Mom still has experience, so let's go buy saplings now?"

With Wang Sufen's support, He Fangmin couldn't say anything else.

He Dayong and He Dazhi put the counted money directly into their pockets, said hello to Wang Sufen and went out.

That afternoon, He Dayong and He Dazhi came back pushing more than a dozen bundles of saplings.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, He Dayong couldn't help but ask for credit with Wang Sufen.

"Mom, they are all big."

He Dazhi smiled and said: "Many villagers over there are unwilling to plant them. These saplings are so cheap, and we all picked big ones."

Wang Sufen looked at the saplings as thick as water pipes, smiled happily, and called He Fangmin directly in the house.

"Don't rest, come out quickly."

"It's a hot day. Let's go after it cools down."

Wang Sufen couldn't help but scolded: "Cool? You know it's hot, but the saplings don't know it's hot?"

Hearing that Wang Sufen's tone was obviously wrong, He Fangmin had no choice but to put on his clothes and come out.

When he went out and saw that the sun had just turned to the west, He Fangmin missed the days when Lu Linshan was here. If Lu Linshan was there, he would just send Lu Linshan there, but he could only sigh in his heart.

After all, if he really said it, he might be scolded again.

The six members of the He family took their tools and walked all the way out of the village.

Passing by the entrance of the village, villagers enjoying the shade saw the He family pushing saplings out of the village and asked questions one after another.

"His second mother, are you going to plant trees?"

Wang Sufen smiled and said, "Yeah, go plant some trees. Don't you plant some at home?"

"My home has no mountain land."

Wang Sufen said, "My family has no land left."

He Dayong continued: "Second aunt, if you listen to me, why should you plant rice? It would be better to just plant yellow peaches."

"That's not possible. What are you going to eat if you grow peaches?"

He Dayong smiled and said: "Isn't buying fine rice better than growing it yourself? The rice in the city is so white. Do you think it's the second aunt?"

"Where can I afford to eat?"

Although the old lady didn't want to talk to the He family, there were so many people enjoying the cool air nearby, and there were always people who were feeling lively.

"Speaking of which, the price of yellow peaches will still be the same next year. It is indeed much better than growing rice."

"No, you have a lot of woodland. How much did you sell for this time?"

"It's not much, about a hundred yuan."

He didn't say much, but it was obvious that the smile on his face was not deceiving. Soon some villagers couldn't sit still and walked directly in the direction where He Dayong and others left.

Seeing He Dayong and others actually planting trees in the rice fields, several villagers smiled and went to the fields to help.

"Dayong, where did you get this sapling?"

He Dayong smiled and said: "I bought it from the next town, and Fifth Brother also wants to plant it?"

"Isn't this early planting and premature birth? Besides, we won't be able to eat as much rice."

He Dazhi smiled and said: "Fifth brother, you are right. Planting trees is exempt from agricultural tax. It is a good deal. Even if it is inevitable in two years, peaches are still more valuable than rice, and they will definitely sell more next year than this year."

Wang Sufen smiled and said: "My family, Dayong, has already figured it out. If we sell Huangtao next year, we might be able to build a new house."

Hearing what Wang Sufen said, the villagers just smiled, but considering this year's yellow peach production, it would be false to be unmoved. After all, the yellow peach tree is still small. In terms of money, it is almost as fast as growing food. Tomorrow will definitely be better than this year. .

Soon a small piece of land was planted with the help of the villagers. He Dayong and others went to the next piece of land. The villagers went directly back to the village and then took the money to the next town.

In the next two days, the village began to plant yellow peach trees on a large scale. Even the price of saplings from the neighboring village increased. People who were originally unwilling to plant trees also went to collect saplings and sold them to the villagers in Hongxing Commune. , and for a time there was another wave of tree planting in Hongxing Commune.

Seeing so many people starting to plant trees, farmers such as He Fangmin also began to waver. After all, nothing is more reassuring than having real money in your hands.

This year, so many yellow peaches have been produced in the first year. According to the simple thinking of the people, there will definitely be more yellow peaches next year.

However, He Fangmin and others were not as enthusiastic as other villagers. After thinking about it, they decided to ask Lu Shanhe directly.

In the evening, Lu Shanhe was eating in front of the electric fan when He Fangmin and another farmer walked in with a smile.

Lu Shanhe hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down.

"Uncle Yuanfang, Uncle Zhuzhu, have you eaten? Sit down and have a drink?"

He Yuanfang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You eat what you have, we have eaten what we have come over."

"Yes, you eat first and then talk after you finish."

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be busy, Lu Shanhe still brought the wine and poured a glass for everyone.

"It's leftovers from lunch, just don't dislike it."

He Yuanfang smiled and said: "How can we dislike eating and drinking for free? In fact, we came here just to inquire about planting yellow peaches. Many people in the village are planting them, especially the He family. I see that the land is wasted just to plant trees. It’s not going well, so I wanted to come over and see what your plans are.”

Lu Shanhe couldn't help but laugh when he heard that he was asking about growing yellow peaches.

"Anyway, I don't sow. I don't sow any land."

He Fangmin breathed a sigh of relief, but continued to ask.

"Shanhe, do you think it's unreliable? Can you tell us something?"

"Yes, tell us, your aunt has a hot temper and a bad temper. If I just say that you are stupid, she will definitely get to the bottom of it."

Lu Shanhe said while eating.

"Okay, let me ask you a few questions."

He Yuanfang nodded.

"Okay, just ask."

"First, the food factory says they will harvest yellow peaches every year. If, I mean just in case, they stop harvesting them, who will you sell them to?"
