Chapter 317
Some of the fruit trees on the mountain have already grown stamens. Boss Wang gently pulled down a branch that had already grown flowers, leaned forward to take a look, and smiled from ear to ear.
"Great! I was originally thinking of persuading you to plant grapes, but I didn't expect that this apple tree would grow so well. You really took good care of it."
Zhong Ruyi shook her head and said, "Boss Wang, grapes are not easy to grow. You can go to my house later and see that the fruits are different in size and taste. Apples are easier to grow."
Many modern grapes are grown in greenhouses. It is normal that they can be grown well, but it requires a lot of effort from fruit farmers.
But it might not be appropriate to put them here, just like the two grape plants she planted at home. She had no time to water them with space water, so the grapes they grew were not as juicy and full as those in the space, and the taste was also a little worse.
Following behind him were Zhong's father, elder brother Zhong, Zhong Dabao, and Ji Jiang who came to see the future working environment.
After looking at the fruit trees, Boss Wang went to the Zhong family’s yard to look at the grapes.
He reached out and gently patted the grape vines, with some surprise in his eyes, "Miss Zhong, aren't your grapes growing well? I think large-scale planting is really feasible!"
Zhong Ruyi said helplessly, "Boss Wang, you can see that there are only leaves but no fruit now. You will know when the fruit starts to grow in June. The fruits will be of different sizes and the taste is not very good."
But she didn't expect that the grapes at that time were all tribute from foreign countries, and the ones they planted were all old varieties, 70% sour and 30% sweet.
The two strains dug out from the space are both excellent varieties. Even if the taste is worse, it is much better than those from foreign countries.
She has already planted hundreds of apple trees, and she has never thought about planting grapes because she simply doesn't have the energy to do so.
After looking at the fruit trees, Boss Wang was very satisfied, and the two agreed that someone would come back to take a look in two months when the fruits were ripe.
"Boss Wang said that if you hadn't come, I would have sold it to someone else." Zhong Ruyi said with a smile.
When I walked out of the yard, Xiao Huang kept barking at somewhere. When I turned around, I saw a woman running away in a hurry. I couldn't see who she was.
Zhong Ruyi didn't take it to heart and went home after seeing Boss Wang off.
The woman who had just run away walked out cautiously from behind a dilapidated thatched hut. She was Zhou, the wife of the mason.
Her eyes were full of resentment. She spat fiercely on the ground and walked away.
More than half a month passed, and Chen Dongzhi returned home in the middle of the night one day.
Zhong Ruyi was sleeping soundly in the warm quilt when suddenly a warm body came up from behind her.
The man kissed her ear, then hugged her tightly and fell asleep.
The first ray of sunlight shone in in the early morning. The two people on the bed were still sleeping, but the man soon opened his eyes, carefully glanced at the person next to him and saw that she was sleeping soundly. He got up quietly, washed, made breakfast and put it on the table.
Without waiting for anyone to get up, he went out to chop firewood and came back, but there was not enough firewood at home.
After chopping wood and fetching water, he was originally wearing a thick coat, but now he took it off and put it aside.
This was the scene that Zhong Ruyi saw when she got up. The man was shirtless, steaming all over as he chopped wood. His muscles bulged as he moved, looking quite erotic.
She walked over and touched Chen Dongzhi's belly. It was hard and felt good.
"I thought I was dreaming last night." She said with a smile. In the middle of the night, she suddenly didn't feel cold anymore and the quilt was warm.
Chen Dongzhi held her hand that was touching her belly and threw down the hatchet. "Have breakfast after you wash up. My hands are dirty, so go wash them first."
While eating breakfast, Chen's mother came over with a basket of steamed buns. She knocked on the door, and after hearing someone from inside, she pushed open the gate and came in.
She was very surprised to see her son coming back, "Dongzhi! When did you come back?"
Zhong Ruyi smiled and called for help. She stood up and put the basket of buns brought by Chen's mother into the kitchen. "Mom, have you eaten yet? If not, stay and eat."
Chen's mother was so happy that she sat down and talked to her son. She even turned around and talked to her daughter-in-law about the gossip of the villagers.
"...his family picked tomatoes and went to the town to sell them. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tian family also picked some and went to sell them. The two families are competing with each other, and the prices are lower than each other. Now everyone is saying that the two families are ruining the market. If the price of tomatoes is too high and they can't sell them in the future, they will be blamed!"
Zhong Ruyi listened with great interest. Sometimes when Chen Dongzhi was not at home, Chen's mother or Xiaoxue would come over and talk to her.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which was somewhat unfamiliar before, became closer due to the influence of gossip, and she could often hear some private matters of the villagers.
After breakfast, Chen Dongzhi followed his mother back to the old house. A part of the rabbit house had collapsed, and they were preparing to repair it when their son came back. It would be a waste if such good labor force was not wasted.
The part of the rabbit house near the corner was collapsed by something, and Chen Dongzhi repaired it skillfully.
When I turned around, I saw Xiaoman reciting his lessons in the yard. Today was not a day off, so why didn't he go to the private school?
Chen Dongzhi frowned slightly, "Isn't there any class in the private school today?"
Xiaoman put down the book in his hand and said, "Yesterday, the two teachers in the private school had an argument, and Teacher Xiao Zhou told all of us not to go to class today and to review our lessons at home."
The master had a quarrel?
This is really rare.
Chen Dongzhi was a little surprised. It was the first time he heard of a teacher in a private school causing trouble so much that he asked students to take a holiday to deal with the problem.
However, thinking about what his wife had told him some time ago about Shitou Xiaohe being targeted by the teacher, he felt that the teacher in this private school was a bit unreliable.
The Master Zhou whom I visited during the New Year seemed to be a nice guy. He didn't talk much but was calm and composed. He left a good impression. Anyone who could quarrel with him must have crossed Master Zhou's bottom line.
This is indeed the case.
Li Guihua waited in the workshop for a long time but Li Zhidie didn't come to deliver the jars. He said he would deliver them every ten days, but he didn't come yesterday and he didn't come today either.
Although the jars in the warehouse are still useful, being late is not his style.
Worried that something might happen, I took advantage of Boss Zhong's free time today and asked him to go to Taohua Village to see if anything had happened.
After having lunch at his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house, Boss Zhong asked a few questions about Li Zhi's father.
Mother-in-law sighed, "Dad Li Zhi is fine, it's his brother's child who got into trouble."
Li Zhidie had a younger brother who died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind an orphan and a widow.
The two families had always had a good relationship. During the Chinese New Year, Li Zhi's father did not visit the Master, nor did he go to his brother's house.
After the New Year, the brothers Li Zhi and Li Yang began to be targeted by their teacher.
Even Shitou and Xiaohe were often punished by the teacher by being beaten and scolded, and the same happened to other students who did not give any gifts.
The cause of this incident was that Li Yang used a piece of new paper, which was bought by Shi Tou as a gift for him. It couldn't be said to be a good paper, but it was much better than what he usually used. He cherished it very much and only took it out once in a long time.
A classmate named Zhuang Yuan saw it and said that Li Yang stole the paper from him. The two started arguing, and the classmates around them came over to try to persuade them. The noise got so loud that it attracted the teacher.
I originally thought that the teacher would ask the two of them why they were arguing, but the teacher came and looked at Li Yang coldly without asking any questions, made him stand in the corner and returned the stolen paper to Zhuang Yuan.
"I didn't steal! He is the one who wronged me! Teacher, how can you not tell right from wrong!" Li Yang said loudly, and several classmates around him also spoke up for him and explained.
The paper clearly belonged to Li Yang, but the teacher refused to listen to his explanation and insisted on asking him to apologize and stand in the corner as punishment.
Li Yang was not convinced and argued with the teacher, which caused a huge uproar.
The master's beard was shaking with anger, and he was gasping for breath while pointing at Li Yang. "...Bring me my ruler! Let me see if you are guilty or I can't tell right from wrong!"
