Chapter 221: Teaching Villagers to Grow Potted Apples
The surrounding villagers were all shocked when they saw Lu Tengfei's miserable appearance.
They said that Gu Zhiqing kicked Lu Tengfei out of shock, but they didn't take it seriously!
Who would have thought that the crotch was covered in blood, and Lu Tengfei's legs were shaking unconsciously. The painful expression on his face showed that his legs were covered in blood and he must have been seriously injured.
There is no trace of blood on his face, and it looks like he is breathing out more than he is breathing in!
Many men in the village felt a chill in their lower body when they saw Lu Tengfei’s miserable appearance!
In short, everyone was thinking in their hearts that no matter who they were, they should not mess with Gu Zhiqing!
Someone with good intentions brought the news to the Lu family, but the door was wide open without even needing to knock.
The yard was a mess, and it was obvious that it had not been taken care of for a while. Following the sound of "ouch, ouch", the villager pushed open a door, and a foul odor rushed out of the house.
I saw that Mrs. Lu's head, which looked like a boiled egg, had grown some prickly hair. She was lying on the ground with her bare butt, looking dead.
Old Mrs. Lu hadn't eaten anything for two days. She was crawling around on the ground desperately just to get a sip of water.
When he saw someone coming outside the house, he felt like he had seen a savior.
But she had no strength left and could only scream and even shed tears of gratitude to the people who appeared in the room.
Grandpa Lu on the kang was motionless at this time, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The villager left the room, was disgusted by the stench and vomited violently, then went to find the captain.
Seeing that the two men were breathing out more than breathing in, the team leader quickly had someone feed them some rice soup and asked Old Ding to pull the ox cart to take the two men to the county hospital.
Given the current situation of the Lu family, Lu Anbang and his son might have to spend their days in jail. As for where Sun Qiaoya and Sun Erya are, he has no idea.
Therefore, in order to get the money to go to the hospital, he had to sell Lu’s things to pay for the medical expenses!
The next day, when Gu Xiaoqi went to work, she discovered that everyone looked at her differently!
It seems that she has become famous in the village again!
But it’s good this way, it lets those blind people see that she, Gu Xiaoqi, is not a pushover!
She just wanted to stay here for a while and return to Beijing after the college entrance examination results came out.
Because the team leader Li Mingzhong went to the county temporarily the day before, the task of teaching the villagers how to plant apple trees was postponed until today.
Just when everyone got off work, the team leader asked each family to send one person with strong learning ability to stay in the threshing ground to learn how to grow potted apples.
When they heard about growing potted apples, the surrounding villagers looked at each other in confusion.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I believe you have all heard that Gu Zhiqing planted an apple tree in Qin Guizhi's yard, and then grafted the apple tree into a flower pot to cultivate a potted apple tree!
As you know, apples are a precious fruit. Gu Zhiqing accidentally found a way to grow apples in pots. She selflessly decided to teach this method to our village so that everyone in our village can generate income. Let's all applaud and thank Gu Zhiqing!"
As soon as Li Mingzhong finished his words, the surrounding villagers burst into laughter and applause.
"Really? Gu Zhiqing is really willing to teach us the cultivation method?"
"If I know how to grow potted apple trees, I can plant them right in the yard. They don't take up much space and I can also earn extra income. That's great!"
"Gu Zhiqing is such a good person! If I can really cultivate him successfully, Gu Zhiqing will be my idol in the future!"
Li Mingzhong was very happy to see that everyone was eager to try and was very enthusiastic.
"Alright, alright! Then I'll let Gu Zhiqing come up and tell everyone how to plant!"
Li Mingzhong asked someone to bring up a few potted apple plants.
The potted apple tree has already produced red, fist-sized fruits.
Gu Xiaoqi first picked a few apples, cut them into small pieces with a knife, and let individual villagers taste them.
The villagers who have tasted the apples all praised it highly, and those who have not tasted it felt very greedy when they saw those who had eaten it, because this is a juicy apple!
But most of the villagers are very simple. How can everyone get a share of such precious fruit?
Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to speak attentively, Gu Xiaoqi began to talk about the methods of growing apples.
Gu Xiaoqi explained in great detail, and she patiently answered the villagers' questions.
About an hour later, Gu Xiaoqi had taught the villagers the method of growing apples completely and without reservation.
Of course, apple seeds or grafted branches need to be obtained from her.
Not everyone will be given seeds immediately. It is first come, first served. The remaining seeds need other villagers to successfully cultivate a batch and then branch them out.
Each of the villagers had their own little plans, although Li Mingzhong said he would go through the formalities and contact the county supply and marketing cooperative to sell the goods.
However, everyone feels that small-scale individual trading is rampant now, and no one is in charge. Wouldn't it be better if you could grow the crops successfully and sell them yourself?
Of course, Li Mingzhong would not support it openly.
In short, as long as it can generate income for the village, it’s good!
If the scale becomes larger, we will then operate according to the recycling model proposed by the educated youth!
After completing the task, Gu Xiaoqi returned to Qin Guizhi's home and distributed the seeds and branches she needed to the villagers who arrived earlier.
The villagers who didn't get it were obviously disappointed. Gu Xiaoqi comforted everyone and said that everyone would get it soon. Only then did they go back with peace of mind.
Gu Xiaoqi's potted apples are basically bare now. Even the one in the yard has been picked clean and most of the branches have been cut off.
There was a basin of apple flesh left, and Gu Xiaoqi asked the villagers to share it, leaving enough for the three of them to eat.
But Gu Xiaoqi doesn't feel sad, because the tree will always be here and will never disappear.
Besides, she will be preparing for the college entrance examination soon and may have to return to Beijing before this winter!
Naturally, she would not plant the apple tree herself. When Qin Guizhi and Lu Jing'an went to the city together, she would naturally not plant it either.
Gu Xiaoqi finally sat down after a busy day. Qin Guizhi made egg and tomato dumpling soup and mixed cucumber pickles in the evening.
Gu Xiaoqi's meal was so delicious~
After dinner, I went back to my room and started studying.
On the other hand, there is a relocated farm in a certain area of Northeast China.
Jiang Mei was digging out shit in a pit. There was a dark white mask on her nose, which seemed to be covered with a lot of unknown filth.
His hair was gray, his hands were full of cracks, his back was hunched, his face was full of fine lines and dark spots, and he kept coughing and gasping for breath.
