I Run a Gas Station in the Northwest

Chapter 49 The First Saplings

Back at the gas station, Chen Muma brought another group non-stop, with a total of ten tourists, heading towards the village of Yakash.

There were no accidents during this trip, and the tourists were very happy, and Chen Mu was also relieved.

Sometimes you really don’t care about luck in doing things, just divide people, and everything is good if you are good.

The only thing that made Chen Mu feel a little unhappy was a small incident that happened when he went to Baza Village.

A mother dragged her over nine-year-old child over and kowtowed to Chen Mu, saying that she was grateful to Chen Mu for bringing tourists to the village and giving everyone extra income, so she wanted her son to follow Chen Mu to do things.

Chen Mu was flattered, and quickly said that the child was still young and that he had to study more and waited until he grew up.

Unexpectedly, the mother said that the school was too far away, and the tuition was too expensive, and she didn't want her child to go to school anymore. She hoped that he could come out soon and make money to support his family.

Chen Mu was shocked after hearing it, and could not speak for a long time.

Later, he asked Elder Jamal, the mayor of Baza Village in private, and found out that the mother was a widow, and her husband passed away because of an accident when she went out to work many years ago. For so many years, she had done some rough work alone to support the family. Pull the child so old.

Originally, she was almost unable to make it through, and she usually lived on a little assistance from the villagers. Who would have thought that Chen Mu came with tourists at this time.

Although the widow’s house is too small to receive guests, she has good sewing skills and can make beautiful Uyghur specialties, such as four-lens flower hats, wraparounds for Uyghur men, and veils for women, which are sold to tourists. Earning a little money immediately made the family's life much easier.

Probably because she was grateful, or because she felt that the child would have a future in doing things with Chen Mu, she happily took the child and sent it to Chen Mu.

"How can this be done? The child is still so young, he should go to school for a few more years."

It is impossible for Chen Mu to accept a person, not to mention that he doesn't know what he can do with such a child. He just said that if he accepts the child, it will be passed on in the future, and everyone will send him the child. What will he do?Are you really going to be the biggest child labor leader in the neighborhood?

When he heard the words of going to school, the elderly Jamaal sighed and shook his head: "There is no school near us. The children want to go to school. They have to walk two hours to Mazhai township. It's too far. Not willing to go."

When Chen Mu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "Are all the children nearby like this?"

The old man Jamal said helplessly: "It's all like this, even in the village of Yakash."

Children can’t go to school, or go to school at intervals of three to five. This will affect the children’s learning effect. Afterwards, they will not be able to recognize a few words. What is the difference between illiterate?

Imperfection and poverty are a pair by nature, and this situation is really worrying.

But Chen Mu couldn't do much. Turning his head, he could only stuff the child with two handfuls of chocolates, and told him to go to school well, and then he could find a job only after he learned how to read.

The kid didn't know if he understood Chen Mu's meaning, he was very happy with the chocolate, and even said: "I know Brother Li Xiaomu, I must learn to read as soon as possible, and then listen to what Apa said, and do things with you."

...

To send the tourists away, Chen Mu exchanged his vitality value that night and used it on a Haloxylon tree and a sea-buckthorn tree.

Chen Mu specially separated the two trees far away, and at the same time used the vitality value on them, and then the spectacular scene appeared.

In the sparse night of the moon and stars, the two trees grew horribly in a short period of time, and in a short while they became two big trees.

The sea-buckthorn tree is relatively tall, reaching nearly five meters.

This is not high in the sea-buckthorn tree, but the branches and leaves are more luxuriant than the usual sea-buckthorn tree, which looks lush.

The Haloxylon tree is a bit shorter, only about three meters, but its roots grow in clusters, and the whole is like popcorn. Many branches grow from the side, occupying a large area.

Chen Mu waited for the two trees to fully grow, and immediately cut the branches and leaves of the two trees separately, cut them into pieces about 15 cm long each, and put them on a large piece of oil paper.

In doing so, the main purpose is to isolate the soil from contact with oil paper cloth and prevent them from growing immediately.

This is the result of his experiment.

After using the vitality value, the broken branches and leaves seem to grow as long as they contact the soil.

However, it will not be a problem if it is separated by something like oil paper cloth.

The work of pruning the branches and leaves is not difficult, and it does not take much time. The difficult thing is that after the branches and leaves are collected, one person needs to carry out the cuttings, and the workload is very large.

At intervals of 25 to 30 centimeters, a small tree sapling will grow quickly by poking the branches to the ground.

Under normal circumstances, if you plant trees in those regular sandfields, such as shrubs such as seabuckthorn and Haloxylon, the spacing is about one meter to 1.5 meters, that is the best spacing.

But here in Chen Mu, his forest farm is completely private, and he doesn't need to consider the issue of soil moisture. He can plant it at will, so he planted more densely.

First seabuckthorn, then Haloxylon trees, each of which was planted in two rows, with four rows of saplings standing upright there, neatly arranged like an army, which makes people feel very fulfilled.

At this point, his first batch of saplings was obtained.

Next, he must cut down the trunks of the two trees and put them away so that they are not too conspicuous.

"It's too hard to grow seedlings like this."

Chen Mu closed his head sweating profusely while thinking to himself.

Although the vitality value is easy to use, it is too obtrusive to use and cannot allow others to participate, so he can only do the whole thing by himself, and the workload is too large.

Chen Mu felt that he should think carefully about a solution, otherwise it would not be the solution after all.

Another night passed.

Early the next morning, Chen Mu didn't care about the surprise when Alekun and the old man saw those small saplings. He dug out two newly grown saplings from the ground, and drove the small golden cup to Bahe Town. .

When he came to Bahe Town, he did not directly enter the forestry company. Instead, he wandered around the market two times, bought two cigarettes, and ordered two bottles of good wine. Then he entered the forestry company with his cigarettes and wine. Door.

"Hey, why did your kid come today? I haven't seen you for a long time."

The person who received him in the forestry company was the person Chen Mu knew before. He smiled and greeted him when he saw Chen Mu.

Chen Mu is now regarded as his big customer. Although the commission for selling trees is not much, the important thing is the long flow. Chen Mu belongs to this kind of long flow client.

Therefore, his attitude towards Chen Mu has also become particularly friendly.

"Brother Li, I have been busy recently. I haven't been to Bahe Town for a long time, so I can't come over and chat with you. I just have time today, so I said I want to come and see you."

Chen Mu was a thick-skinned man, and he obviously didn't come to people for anything. He just said as if he missed them so much. When he stuffed alcohol and tobacco into other people's hands, he was very smooth, without any embarrassment or embarrassment.

The man from the forestry company was named Li Ming. Chen Mu was so squeaky that he stuffed so many things into his little hands, but he immediately became nervous, wondering what this guy wanted to do.

The key is that he was afraid of being seen, so he turned around and took a look. It happened that there was no one else in the lobby of the forestry company, so he felt relieved.

With a light cough, Li Ming quickly put the things in the cabinet next to the desk, and then asked, "Is something wrong with you?"
