Chapter 918: The selfish and vain female supporting role (14)
It’s the end of May, the season when peaches, apricots, and pears are in urgent need of ripening.
When the old man lived here, he would also prune their branches. Since the old man was taken by his younger son to the city to recuperate, Xu's father and mother Xu were busy with the cherry orchard, and no one took care of it for several years. Although the fruits were small, But there are more and more of them, and the branches and leaves are so heavy that you can pick them by raising your hand.
Xu Yin picked a peach with a slightly red skin, washed it while washing her hands, and took a bite.
Xu's father smiled when he saw this: "It's so sour. Ask your mother to steam peach jam for you later."
Xu's mother heard the noise and came out of the house: "Her father, who are you talking to?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu's mother was surprised when she saw her daughter, with worried eyes: "Yin Yin? Why are you coming back at this time? Did something happen at work?"
Before Xu Yin could answer, Xu's father rushed to say: "You can go home if you want. The work pressure in big cities is so great, so it's okay to come back. Don't ask so many questions, just go and steam an egg custard for Yin Yin. There's nothing at home." vegetable."
Xu’s mother thought that working in a big city was not only stressful, but also expensive. Not to mention saving, she had transferred a lot of money to her daughter in the past two years.
Thinking about it this way, I think it would be good if my daughter comes back and the family of three works hard to make the cherry orchard better, and life will not be bad.
He said no more and quickly asked his daughter to go back to the house to rest. She went back to the kitchen to steam egg custard.
Xu Yin carried her luggage back to her room, and when she came out she had the clothes and supplements she bought for her parents.
The supplements were taken from the system space. The ones sold in the mall were not as good as the ones she stocked, and they were also very expensive.
The couple were happy in their hearts, but they said, "Why are you buying us things? Just keep the flowers for yourself."
Xu Yin said with a smile: "My parents are only allowed to be nice to me, but I am not allowed to buy something for my parents? When I first graduated, my salary was low and I didn't have much money to spend, so I couldn't save any money. This year I finally saved some money, but I don’t know if you like the gift I picked.”
“Like it, we like whatever you buy.”
Xu Mu happily picked up the new clothes and compared them:
“The size is also suitable and much more fashionable than the ones sold in town.”
Although Xu’s father didn’t say anything, the smile on his face was enough to express his joy at the moment.
The egg custard was steamed, and the family of three sat down and chatted while eating.
"Dad, Mom, I came back this time mainly because I want to take you to the hospital for a physical examination. There was a leader in the unit where I worked before. He was about the same age as my dad. He usually seemed fine, but suddenly he became ill. It was so dangerous. Very. I also heard from my colleague that he was lazy and didn’t go for a physical examination last year. If you have a physical examination every year, you won’t have sudden diseases. I thought that you haven’t had a physical examination for so many years, so I thought about taking you for a physical examination. Problems can also be prevented in advance.”
On normal days, Xu's father would have said, "Why don't you go for a physical examination?" However, he did feel a little tight in his chest recently, a little tired, and there was also a dull pain in his chest. In addition, his daughter gave an example of the leader of her work unit. There was no refusal.
“But not now, the cherries are about to ripen, and we can’t live without people at home. I’m still discussing with your mother. If the purchase price this year is so low, why don’t I choose to sell it in the city.”
"Then go for a physical examination after the busy season. I will figure out how to sell the cherries." Xu Yin scooped a spoonful of custard for her parents, "You guys should have a better rest during this period. Don't be too tired before the physical examination."
She knew that she would not be willing to let the couple leave the cherry orchard and go to the hospital with her for a physical examination at this time. She would not feel at ease if she went there. It would be better to wait until the busy season is over.
At most, during this period of time, she would feed her parents some vegetables and fruits grown in the spiritual spring water. The air in the house would also be soaked in spiritual mist, conditioning it from the inside out. She believed it would change.
Xu's father said happily: "Okay." His daughter was concerned about their health and came back specially to take them for a physical examination, which made him happy just thinking about it.
As for what his daughter said, "She has to find a way to sell the goods," he didn't take it to heart.
How can my daughter, a petite girl who studies and works in a big city, know how to do these things? It’s good to have this kind of intention.
The family had a wonderful reunion dinner together.
Although the dishes are a bit simple, Xu’s mother is good at cooking, and even simple dishes can be cooked to taste.
After dinner, Xu Yin made a pot of scented tea to soothe the nerves and help sleep. It was once irrigated with spiritual spring water. It was very nourishing. She poured a cup for her parents, drank it slowly, and talked about her future plans:
"Dad, Mom, I bought a book on fruit tree grafting before and found that grafting is actually not difficult. There is an example of a small cherry tree being successfully grafted with a cherry branch. The cherries produced are as big as big cherries. , the taste is better than ordinary large cherries..."
"Can small cherries be grafted?" Xu's father and mother looked at each other in disbelief.
"Really?"
"Really, I also saw this example accidentally, so I wanted to come back and try it." Xu Yin said seriously, "The book says that there are two time points when grafting is easier to succeed, one is in March and April, and the other is in 1989. month. If parents are worried, I will try grafting a batch at the end of August or beginning of September. In the spring of next year, this batch of grafted fruit trees will sprout and bloom, indicating success. The rest can be grafted in March and April. In this way, Starting next year, our family will be able to harvest big cherries."
Hearing what his daughter said, Xu’s father and mother looked at each other again.
“Her dad, do you think what Yin Yin said is reliable?”
After dinner, after the daughter finished washing and went back to her room to rest, the couple also returned to the room, turned off the lights, and lay on the bed tossing and turning:
“She is a college student, and judging from the book, she must be reliable.”
Father Xu has the same trust in his daughter as always.
Same, if you don’t trust me, you won’t be defrauded of so much money by the original person.
"I'm just worried that she, a delicate girl, will hurt her hands doing such rough work. Or, when the time comes, she asks me to learn how to do it?"
…”
Xu Yin was in the room preparing the things needed for grafting fruit trees.
Thanks to her, every little world will stock up on some interesting materials. Among them, several plants are the most stocked. Flowers, herbs, and various tree saplings are basically covered. The large, thick-skinned and high-quality cherry trees that are a specialty of Chile are naturally also available. .
However, in order to deceive others, she logged into Taomaimai and found a fruit sapling store. She saw that they were selling dwarf authentic cherry saplings for only 50 yuan a tree and free shipping, regardless of whether they were authentic cherry saplings. Xu Yin Photographed.
In addition, I also took a photo of fruit tree cuttings from a cutting shop that can be directly grafted with scions. There are 25 cuttings in one set, including peach trees, pear trees, apricot trees, and cherry trees. I also bought them by the way. A bottle of grafting adhesive.
The total spent in the two stores was less than 100 yuan.
