My younger brothers and sisters all live in the city, and the sick mother with mobility problems can't live without a solid support. Xiansen doesn't believe it. If you stay at home and on the ground, you can't live a good life?
Sunshine Rose, a new grape variety planted in the neighboring village last year, has a considerable income and a broad market prospect. Xiansen was tempted and began to consider turning the four-acre seven-point field in the north of the village into a sunny rose garden.
Sunshine rose, listening to this name makes people feel a glimmer of hope. Rose-flavored grapes exude an attractive romantic atmosphere before the entrance.
After careful consideration and negotiation, Xiansen bought 400 grafted seedlings home last winter, buried them in the backyard with a pile of fine sand and guarded them with hope in his heart.
It was spring years ago, and the temperature rose rapidly. The excitement of the Spring Festival has not completely subsided, and Xiansen has been busy sorting out four acres and seven points. Ploughing and leveling, embankment repair, setting off lines and plants with white lime, digging holes, padding with base fertilizer and covering with plastic film. Everything is ready, just waiting for the ground temperature to rise.
While resting at home, Xiansen searched online for new tools to make grapes. After the selection, he asked his eldest daughter who worked in the provincial capital to place an order online.
At the beginning of March, the temperature rose rapidly, the wicker turned green, and peach blossoms and plum blossoms opened one after another. The sunshine roses of Xiansen will grow on the ground!
On the Saturday before Arbor Day, we got up early and prepared to plant sunshine roses that had begun to wake up.
When the car was loaded with grape seedlings, Xiansen said to me: If we can take our youngest daughter to the field together, plus Dad, the four people will be divided into two groups, and we will be faster. He is worried that his little daughter has too much homework on Sunday and can't bear to delay her children's study time. When I say nothing, I just want her to relax and exercise in the field.
When we arrived at the farm, Xiansen showed us the key points of planting: evenly separate the roots of grape seedlings, put them on the right, lift them when the soil is halfway filled, and then fill them with feet.
I worked with Xiansen, my daughter and her grandfather, and we started our work happily.
I went to school for a few more years than Xiansen, read more books, and have poor physical fitness, so I basically can't and won't do farm work in the fields. I usually do housework, mainly taking care of my daughter's study life. Xiansen is a hothead. Don't look at me when working in the field. After a while, he began to scold me. For a while, the roots were not divided equally, but later I forgot to mention them. I said, why are you so busy? I didn't hear what the father said about the child. He smiled helplessly: Are you better than a child? My daughter listened to our bickering and gossiping, and said to me, Mom, let's change it. You and grandpa are a group. Father couldn't help laughing when filling the soil. My granddaughter has a good idea. Your mother is just like you now. She is a baby. We couldn't help laughing, and the laughter jumped on the green barley leaves.
It's almost ten o'clock, and my mother called to urge us to go home for dinner. Look at the remaining twenty seedlings. My father asked my daughter if she was hungry and tired. Xiansen and I also looked at her. My daughter knows what we mean: eat after planting. So, with the support of our daughter, we accelerated our actions and completed the task of sunshine roses falling into the soil and taking root ahead of schedule.
As soon as I entered the room, I smelled the smell of the food. It must be another sumptuous meal. Years of joint pain made it difficult for mother to move. She is a good cook. Whenever she is busy with farm work in the field, she will cook a delicious meal for us to comfort the tired and hungry workers. Hearing the movement of our entrance, mother came out of the kitchen with a cane to meet us: always in such a hurry to go to work! I'm not afraid of being tired to my baby, so how do I do my homework? The daughter shouted happily: not tired, not tired! Grandpa said that I made great achievements today, and I couldn't finish planting this morning without me. Looking at our daughter's triumphant appearance, we all paid her a compliment.
After resting and eating, Xiansen began to clean the water pipes of large and small buckets, ready to water the planted sunshine roses.
A small amount of water accumulated in the big canal in Tiantou. The big bucket poured in the tricycle is taken out with a small bucket, and then pulled into the ground. The water is led into the small bucket with a water pipe, and the seedlings are watered one by one.
In March, when it is warm and cold, the spring breeze is warm, the noon sun is warm, and the new green in the field is full of vitality, conveying full power to hardworking people.
As soon as the first cart of water entered the ground, two sisters-in-law followed with water bottles and apples. I didn't know until I called my mother that we were planting grape seedlings in the field and didn't go to work on Saturday. I put down the phone and drove home to help.
Two more people to help, not only reduce physical fatigue, but also a deep family support. While watering the new life in the soil, we talked about the trivial things in life, and the hearty laughter echoed in the fields. We asked my father to go home and have a rest. He promised to pick up the shovel and began to cover our watered seedling pit to keep moisture and prevent it from evaporating too fast. My sister and brother-in-law always strive to do more work, saying that there is more work behind, so that Xiansen can have a rest.
Family can always keep life warm, and always accompany you in time in the storm. Perhaps this is the source of persistence in life and the reason not to give up.
At the beginning of April, a frost hit the spring night, and almost all the newly awakened life died. Xiansen's sunshine rose just spit bud was also killed by frost.
Xiansen visited other people's vineyards all day and consulted technicians. He knew that frost did little harm to the newly planted grape seedlings, and a heart beaten by frost regained its original enthusiasm.
Erection, weeding, watching the buds of hundreds of seedlings slowly climb up day by day, Xiansen rolled up his sleeves and accompanied the sunshine rose garden of four acres and seven fields.
Thick steel wires are connected with solid cement poles, and a green vine grows more and more lush between rows of blue cement poles. It was a sky that Xiansen propped up with love and responsibility, and he wanted to fill his sky with laughter.
The ups and downs of life will always be kind to those who love life and keep their hopes alive. People who are full of love, regardless of natural disasters and man-made disasters, can always protect hope and cross the river of years.
Xiansen's sunny rose garden will make the sun shine and the roses add fragrance. ...
