Chapter 261: Are there bees? Go see if there is any honey to harvest

"I'm going to find Wu Dahua, but I don't know where his home is."

Chen Hui said this and knocked on the door a few more times.

"Oh, now that you mention it, I don't know either." An Wenjing smiled.

Wu Guang's door opened quickly. His wife Liu Yuzhu saw that it was Chen Hui who knocked on the door and shouted enthusiastically, "Come in and sit down! A Guang went to the small shop to buy something and will be back soon."

"Aunt Yuzhu, do you know which way Wu Dahua's house is?" Chen Hui asked.

"I know. Go to the right and then."

"Forget it, I'll take you there later. Come in and have a cup of tea first." Liu Yuzhu moved to the side and waved to An Wenjing behind her.

"Come back when you have time. Let's go find him first!"

"Everyone has just returned from several days out at sea, so if he waits any longer, he will be asleep." Chen Hui said politely.

Liu Yuzhu smiled and nodded.

He came out, covered his pocket with his back hand, and walked in front to lead the way for Chen Hui and An Wenjing.

As they walked, he curiously asked Chen Hui what he wanted to see Wu Dahua about.

When I heard that the fruit trees planted on the mountain could be dug up and sold for money, I was surprised and said that I also wanted to plant a few trees to sell.

"Aunt Yuzhu, if you want to grow fruit trees to sell, you can choose those that grow slowly but bear fruit quickly," Chen Hui suggested.

After all, buying fruit trees for landscaping will only be possible in a dozen years or so.

They grow too fast and become big trees, which makes them inconvenient to move and sell, and price factors also limit many buyers.

We can’t have so many years of farming in vain, it would be best to eat the fruits as soon as possible.

Chen Hui gave suggestions to others, but he kept an idea for himself.

The hillside at the back door rolled down, knocking down several large trees, and the small shrubs and other plants on the ground were also severely damaged.

In serious areas, large areas of land are exposed.

Although these lands do not belong to him, they are right behind his house.

Whether it's for aesthetics or safety, no one will say anything if you plant some trees yourself.

"Who are you selling it to? How about I sell them all to you?"

Liu Yuzhu didn't take it seriously and just thought it was a joke.

The three of them chatted and laughed, and then sent Chen Hui and An Wenjing to Wu Dahua's house and went back.

Wu Dahua had apparently already told his family about the sale of plum trees.

A little girl of about seven or eight opened the door and turned around and shouted, "Brother! The uncle who bought the tree is here!"

"Don't call me uncle, call me brother!" Chen Hui grabbed the little girl who was about to run and corrected her.

"I know, uncle!"

The little girl ran away after saying that, without even inviting them in.

Chen Hui and An Wenjing waited at the door for a while.

Wu Dahua came out holding a younger boy who was about the same age as An Wenyi.

Seeing Chen Hui, he smiled and said, "I've told my dad about buying the plum tree. It just so happens that he's working there today. Let's go together."

"Brother! I want to go too!" said the little boy, hugging Wu Dahua's thigh.

"You stay at home with your sisters. I'll be back soon! Uncle Er is here too today."

Wu Dahua’s second uncle was very intimidating, and the little boy immediately let go of his hand and ran into the house.

After sending the little boy away, Wu Dahua took Chen Hui and An Wenjing to his own vegetable garden.

I have always heard from Wu Shuisheng that Wu Dahua has many brothers and sisters in his family, and they are all still young.

When I saw them today, there were really a lot of them and they were all small.

An Wenjing asked curiously: "Wu Dahua, how many brothers and sisters do you have?"

Wu Dahua smiled embarrassedly.

As they walked, they talked about their family matters.

He was the eldest child in the family, and his parents had always wanted to have another boy. Unfortunately, things did not go as they wished, and they gave birth to three more girls, and only the fifth was a boy.

"Ah" An Wenjing's expression changed slightly.

In the early years, when the production team distributed grain, and later distributed land, the shares were calculated based on the number of males in the family and the able-bodied women, and young girls were not counted.

There is nothing to criticize about what Wu Dahua's parents did.

Chen Hui changed the topic subtly and started talking about the several plum trees in Wu Dahua's house.

Chen Hui gave twenty yuan for a plum tree.

When Wu Dahua introduced his own trees, he showed much more care than when he talked about his own situation.

Shu had almost finished his talk when the three of them arrived at the Wu family’s vegetable garden.

Wu Dahua shouted to the middle-aged couple working in the distance: "Dad, Mom! I brought Chen Hui to choose trees!"

When Wu Dahua's parents heard the noise, they put down what they were holding and came over.

Dahua's father rubbed his hands and said excitedly:

"You are Chen Hui? Oh! I've heard Dahua mention you many times!"

"I said you're awesome! You're awesome at catching fish in the sea and at dealing with people!"

"He said you took good care of him and taught me a lot of things. Thank you, kid!"

Chen Hui couldn't stand this unusual enthusiasm and said politely: "Uncle, you are too polite. We are actually the same!"

"Then let's go see the plum trees first. Do you want a big one or a small one?" asked Dahua's father.

"Is it far? If not, I want to show my wife all the big and small ones!"

"We want to plant them in the yard to make them look good. We have to see the actual trees to know which one to choose," said Chen Hui.

"Yes, yes, after all, it cost so much money!"

"Then let's go and look at the two big ones first."

As Dahua's father said this, he asked his wife to stay and continue working, and called Chen Hui and An Wenjing to go to the other side.

After walking up the mountain for another seven or eight minutes, they finally arrived at the plum tree next to Wu Dahua's house.

"Uncle, why don't you plant this plum tree closer?" Chen Hui said, observing the tree in front of him.

There are two fruit trees, each about four or five meters high.

The fruits on the two trees had been picked a few days ago, and if you didn't look carefully you wouldn't be able to tell they were plum trees.

One is growing well, the other is a bit haphazard, with the entire trunk crooked.

"Who would be willing to use their vegetable fields to grow fruit trees? There are so many people walking around there that we're afraid we won't be able to keep them there."

Dahua's father smiled and said, "To be honest, if you want to eat plums, the small ones are more abundant. If you want to see the flowers, these two big ones are better."

"Is this the big one? It doesn't look that big." An Wenjing looked up at the tree.

"The plum tree is a small tree, but this height can indeed be considered a big tree," Chen Hui explained.

"Oh, hee hee!"

An Wenjing smiled embarrassedly and looked around.

Suddenly he exclaimed, "Squirrel, there's a squirrel!" and was ready to run after it.

"Don't go! There are bees over there, they may sting you!" Chen Hui was quick to grab An Wenjing.

"Bees? Where are the bees?" Dahua's father asked with surprise.

"Not far ahead, I heard some noises, and just now I saw several flying over." Chen Hui made up a story.

"Why didn't I see it?!" Wu Dahua was puzzled.

"That means you have bad eyesight!"

"My eyesight is really not that good!"

Wu Dahua said this and smiled.

Dahua's father became interested, "Let's go! Let's go see if there is any honey!"
