Longing for mountain village life

Back home, Grandpa was feeding the chicks.

Big Yellow came over with his tail wagging, making a haha sound, as if asking if he had brought me something delicious.

Seeing that there was nothing in Jiang Tian's hand, he still walked around a few times without dying, only to find that there was really nothing, so he had to run to the side in frustration and lie on his stomach.

Grandpa asked, "How about that restaurant?"

"It's not bad, it's quite popular, we're going to open a few more restaurants, otherwise one won't be enough."

"Yes, it's a good thing, just watch it yourself."

Jiang Tian nodded, "I am ready to contract a few more plots of land, there are too many abandoned lands in our village, just enough to use it, and I am going to make an orchard, when the time comes, grow some fruit, whether it is to eat it myself or sell it well." "

Orchard, there is one in the village, it is your Zheng Da Niang's house, remember?"

"Lady Zheng?" Jiang Tian was stunned.

"It seems that you forgot, when she was a child, she still gave you peaches to eat, and she kept saying that she would marry her girlfriend to you."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Jiang Tian suddenly remembered, there was indeed such a thing, Zheng Da Niang used to be in the north of the village, and there was an orchard in her home, and there were a lot of peach trees planted in it, and every time the peaches were ripe, they would take out a lot of peaches and scatter them in the village.

Especially like children, they often make canned peaches for children in various households, which is very popular with children.

Her family has two children, a man and a woman, the man went to the army, I heard that it was very promising, and the girl had very good academic performance, at that time, she often said, otherwise marry her daughter to Jiang Tian, anyway, the two are also childhood sweethearts.

At that time, they didn't understand these things, and when they played home, they really played boyfriend and girlfriend.

But then they moved away as soon as they were a big family, and there were no relatives in the village, so they never returned.

When I was in high school, I heard of the girl, right next door, but I usually can't meet it, so I didn't look for it, and I heard that her grades were very good, and her college entrance examination scores were also very good.

As for where they are now, I really don't know.

"Think of it, since you Zheng Da Niang and their family left, the orchard has been abandoned, no one cares, and then she was called back by the village chief once, that is, the contract problem of the orchard, saying that it has expired, if you continue to renew the lease, you need to pay money, she feels that she will not come back, so she gave up directly, considering that there are still fruit trees in the orchard, the village also gave her a subsidy of money."

"Later, there were also villagers who thought of contracting orchards to sell fruits, but they all lost money, and they didn't know what was going on, no matter how they took care of it, the result rate was not high, and the quality of peaches was not great, two villagers in succession did not believe in this evil, and one of them continued to fertilize farmers, it was useless."

"There is no way, you can't keep the loss, so you returned it to the village, and now there are some old and weak children left in the village, and it is impossible to contract the orchard."

"And such strange things!" Jiang Tian became curious about this.

Grandpa finished feeding the chicks, "If you are interested, you can go and take a look, don't rush to contract it first."

"Okay!"

"Then let's go now, I also wanted to contract before, but I gave up after thinking about it, not because of lack of energy, but because I didn't want to waste a year's time."

They went out, followed the main road, turned a few paths, and walked a few hundred meters further, where there were a large number of fields, and at the end they saw an orchard with a large number of fruit trees.

It covers an area of about 20 acres, and just by looking at it, it is completely lifeless.

Generally speaking, the peach tree blooms in March and April every year, and the time from August to September is almost the ripening period, and the mountain is relatively cold, and this date may have to be pushed back.

Now this month, the flowering period must have passed, that is, the peak leaf period, it should be lush and lush, but these peach trees in front of you are simply dry, all branches, scattered leaves are distributed on it, and a few small cyan peaches are hanging.

When they arrived, they realized the seriousness of the matter.

This orchard is roughly estimated to have hundreds of peach trees, and because it has experienced multiple owners, other fruit trees have been planted.

Such as persimmon trees, apple trees, pomegranate trees, pear trees, hawthorn trees, etc., there are a few miscellaneous trees, and I don't know what the previous contractors thought, do you want to try which fruit tree can survive?

Grandpa walked over and tore off a peach branch, looked inside, and shook his head, "No, you see that there is not much blue here, it is estimated that in another year or two, these peach trees will all die, it's really strange, it stands to reason that the soil here should be okay."

Grandpa squatted down, dug the soil, twisted, "The soil quality is quite good, the villagers who contracted before in order to survive the peach tree, that is to buy farm fertilizer everywhere, the nutrition is very rich, should not be the reason for the lack of nutrition, and there is definitely no shortage of water in the mountain, this is strange."

"It was like this the last time I came over, it was a few years ago, although the peach trees were all wilted, but fortunately, I haven't come to see it in the past few years, I didn't expect it to be so serious."

Jiang Tian also went over to check, the whole peach tree row is messy, because no one pruned, the branches are overgrown, and there are not many leaves, it looks extremely strange, if you come here at night, it is the best place to shoot horror movies.

He broke off a branch of a persimmon tree and found that it was also dry inside.

The whole orchard is half-dead, which is really weird.

Grandpa patted the soil off his hand, "Let's go, don't think about it here, if you want to build an orchard, you can go to another place to contract land, but it will take time."

"Five years for peaches, three apricots and four pears, nine years if you want to eat walnuts, you have to wait for planting fruit trees, this thing can not be completed overnight."

Jiang Tian nodded, he knew this truth, so he thought of finding a ready-made orchard.

Moreover, this orchard is so weird, full of water, sufficient nutrient supply, and there is no shortage of anything, why did it grow like this?

Jiang Tian thought about it and decided to use all things to see if there was something wrong with this realm.

Spiritual power spreads, sensing the surrounding situation.

First of all, these trees that are close to them, their energy is very weak, precarious, and they may die in a year or two is a conservative estimate.

"Huh?" Jiang Tian discovered a strange thing.
