Chapter 217 Aunt Liang can drive an excavator
After explaining the reason, Xiao Wang agreed without thinking.
"As long as you don't embarrass me at school, I can find you any tree, not just a ginkgo tree."
Xiao Wang immediately contacted a group of flower lovers and asked where he could buy a ginkgo tree. Since the tree was to be planted in school, the sapling could not be too big or too small.
If it is too big, it will be difficult to transplant; if it is too small, it will be difficult to grow.
Ginkgo trees are a common type of tree here. Xiao Wang quickly contacted the seller and picked out an 8-centimeter-wide ginkgo tree, as thick as a bowl, with new leaves growing this year.
After receiving the request, the seller took a hoe and went to the field to dig up the tree, and the goods would be delivered to the door in the afternoon.
When the uncles and aunts learned about the tree planting, they volunteered to join in and even arranged the division of labor.
The location for planting the ginkgo tree was chosen to be where it can be seen as soon as the door is entered. Considering the need to leave enough space for the tree to grow, it is the only seedling around.
The uncles in the digging team started working right after lunch.
But the progress is worrying.
There were more than a dozen people who came to dig the hole. There were only five shovels provided by the physics class. The rest of the uncles just dug with their hands. Some, like Lao Fu, just used a small wooden stick to make up the numbers.
Five shovels were used by several people, but they only dug a shallow hole.
After lunch, the watering team filled buckets with water and brought them to the site, but the pit had not yet been dug.
Aunt Zhong looked at them suspiciously: "Can you do it?"
"If you can't, get out of here. Don't waste time here."
"Don't take on a job that you don't have the skills to do. Don't be so slow."
"What a strong attacking power! I really want to live such a mean and creative life once." Lao Yu and Uncle Li took a deep breath and their fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
He grabbed the shovel and started shoveling the soil, but he used too much force and sprained his waist.
Old Fu held his waist and wailed: "Please change someone, I can't do it anymore."
As soon as he gave up, Uncle Li quit too.
"If you can't do it, let Aunt Liang drive an excavator. This job is really hard for you." Aunt Zhong said frankly.
"Can you drive an excavator?"
Several eyes turned to Aunt Liang at the same time, accompanied by shocked voices.
Aunt Liang was a little embarrassed and nodded, "I just got the certificate recently."
Aunt Liang is a well-known "certificate expert" in Changqingshu. In addition to skill certificates such as Mandarin, piano, and English, she also took a driver's license test, but it was an excavator driver's license, which is unique in the senior citizens' university.
As expected, the romance of excavators knows no age limit, and Aunt Liang immediately won the awe-inspiring gazes of the entire audience.
The uncles worked harder.
You must be kidding. If they really let the excavators in, they would really have nothing to do.
The tree is not big and the hole does not need to be very deep, but planting trees collectively requires a sense of participation. You use a shovel and I use a hoe, and everyone cooperates and works together, and the hole is dug quickly.
I don’t know what was wrong with Old Fu, he even jumped in to test the depth of the pit.
"The tree is here, the tree is here!" Uncle Wang, who was waiting at the door, ran in waving his hand.
After the tricycle roared, it stopped steadily at the school gate, unloading the ginkgo tree they had been longing for.
Uncle Chang and Uncle Liao took the lead in carrying the tree into the school.
“The question is, how should trees be planted?”
"Isn't this easy? Put the tree in the hole, straighten it, and cover it with soil. All you need is your hands, right?"
"You forget that we have professionals in our school."
"Yes, who will call the teacher of the planting class?"
While the uncle and aunt were discussing, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang, two "big enemies" of the planting class, had already rushed to the backyard to find the teacher.
Teacher Xiaojing and his wife were dragged to the front yard by Uncle Zhao.
Under the guidance of the planting class teacher, the uncles and aunts sent several representatives, each holding the tree trunk with one hand, to place the tree steadily into the pit, and then fill it with soil after straightening it.
The tools used for filling the soil are more diverse. Some people use cardboard, some use plastic cups, and some use bottle caps. The most common method is to just scoop up a handful of soil with your hands.
Each person adds a little, and slowly fills the pit.
After the ginkgo tree was firmly established, the bucket that had been prepared long ago came in handy.
Water seeped down from the thoroughly watered tree pits. The leaves of the ginkgo trees that moved from one pit to another shook in the wind as they drank the first bucket of water from their new home.
The uncle and aunt looked at the new friend eagerly.
This ginkgo tree will take root and grow here, becoming a towering tree and casting a shade for the school.
Come next autumn, you will see golden fallen leaves all over the ground.
……
After planting the trees, the excited uncles and aunts went back to class.
Some people's hearts have already drifted away.
Uncle Li tore open a bag of spicy strips in the Chinese painting class with ease.
He looked around carefully, made sure the environment was safe, then quickly stuffed the spicy strips into his mouth and tasted them carefully.
"Delicious, fragrant and spicy, my favorite."
"Do you want one?"
Uncle Li handed one to his deskmate Uncle Wei.
This is his third deskmate this month.
Uncle Wei is an old scholar who is a bit old-fashioned. Uncle Li is a bit intimidated by him and doesn't dare to talk to him easily. Now he is really a bit too proud of himself.
In the past, when Uncle Li couldn't help wanting to speak during class, he would feel his conscience condemned when he met Uncle Wei's calm eyes.
He was not sure whether Uncle Wei would accept his snacks, but he still had to be polite.
"Is this really delicious?" Uncle Wei hesitated for a moment and did not refuse directly.
He didn't allow his grandchildren to buy these things at home, but now faced with the temptation, he felt a little unable to resist, and his originally firm heart began to waver.
Uncle Li handed the spicy strips to Uncle Wei, and considerately gave him a piece of paper to wipe his hands, and vowed: "Try it, it's definitely delicious, believe me."
