Chapter 14 The Crisis of Competition
Today, as usual, Li Xiaoshui came to the orchard again, but happened to see Li Xiaogang frowning and constantly shuttled through the orchard like a demon. He couldn't help but ask.?? ??
It was as if Li Xiao hadn't heard her words, and she still kept walking around as usual, breaking off a branch from time to time, smelling it with her nose and sweet mouth. It looked no different from being crazy.
"Li Xiaogang, what are you doing?" What Li Xiaoshui couldn't stand the most is being ignored, especially by his younger brother. A roar in the east of the river made Li Xiaogang shudder.
Looking at the angry sister, Li Xiaogang said, "Sister, do you think these saplings are withering day by day?"
Li Xiaoshui's anger was extinguished by Li Xiaogang's words. After careful consideration, it seemed that it was indeed the same as Li Xiaogang said. In the past few days, the saplings have fallen much lower than usual, and the vigorous vitality and fighting spirit that often touched Li Xiaoshui has also weakened a lot.
She couldn't help but worry, grabbed Li Xiaogang's arm and said anxiously: "Xiaogang, you have noticed it too, right? Do you have a way to help them?" Li Xiaoshui has already regarded these saplings as his best friends.
Li Xiaogang shook his head helplessly. He didn't know where the problem was. His spiritual sense had explored the body of the saplings more than once, but every time it turned out to be normal. He went deeper into the ground countless times. He even analyzed the composition of the soil in detail, but everything was normal. "Can the laws of nature really not be able to fight against? Is their appearance destined to be destroyed?" Li Xiaogang thought in pain.
Seeing Li Xiaogang's painful expression, Li Xiaoshui's heart became even tighter. She couldn't imagine how she would spend her life without them.
"Xiaogang, you must have thought of a solution, right? You have to save them! They came to this world alone, unlike our parents who are caring for and loving them! They can grow up so big, they are all struggling by themselves. It is so difficult for them to grow an inch..."
The more Li Xiaoshui spoke, the more excited he became, but the more Li Xiaogang listened, the more excited he became. He grabbed Li Xiaoshui's arm and said excitedly, "Sister, do you think they came to this world alone, right?"
Seeing Li Xiaogang's excitement, Li Xiaoshui seemed to see hope and nodded desperately. "Lonely, lonely! Alas, why am I so benzene! The laws of nature are not only used to break, but also to utilize!"
Thinking of the key, Li Xiaogang turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoshui with great enthusiasm and said, "Sister, I think I already know the reason why the fruit saplings are sluggish because there is no competition! We have only focused on the law of jealousy of heaven in the past few days, but have ignored the most basic law - survival of the fittest! Survival of the fittest is the basic method of nature to make all things evolve, and it is also the most effective method! The reason why the fruit saplings wither day by day is because they lack competitive partners!"
Li Xiaoshui didn't understand much what Li Xiaogang said, but one thing she knew was that Li Xiaogang had already thought of a way to save the saplings, and suddenly felt that his younger brother was really great!
"What should we do?" Li Xiaoshui said anxiously. Li Xiaogang smiled mysteriously and said, "Sister, I know what to do, but if you need your help, you can't help me!" Li Xiaoshui looked at him with a angrily and said, "Okay, as long as you can help them, you can do whatever you want!"
"Okay! This is what you said! The only way to save the sapling is to find a competitor for him, that is, find a companion for him!" Li Xiaogang said.
"Find a companion? Hehe... I said brother, do you want to marry them a wife? You also find a companion." Li Xiaoshui laughed.
Li Xiaogang said seriously, "Yes, sister, I want to lay a thick lawn in this orchard, so that the whole orchard can not only look beautiful, but also put the saplings in a competitive environment. Our saplings are very high-quality varieties and can completely get rid of the troubles of pests. If they no longer find a competitor for nutrients, their lives will be like those wastes among us humans who are living a boring life and will naturally become depressed! The same is true for saplings. Without competitors, their ability to absorb nutrients will be greatly weakened, and it would be strange if they do not wither!"
Li Xiaoshui nodded and said, "Well, you are a college student, you must be right! Just say whatever you want me to do!"
Li Xiaogang said carefully: "Since you want to plant grass, you naturally need money to buy grass. But you are not unaware of it. You are very stingy. It is easy to give him money, but it is difficult to ask him for money! Besides, since I came back, my father has always had opinions about me. If I go and ask for it, I will definitely fail, so I want to..."
"I want me to touch this bad head, right?" Li Xiaoshui continued: "But in order for these saplings to grow well, I will help you this time!"
During dinner, Li Xiaoshui proposed to buy grass seeds. Li Ming glared at him and said: Why do you buy grass seeds? I have heard of buying grain seeds and vegetable seeds, but I haven’t heard of anyone buying grass seeds!
Li Xiaogang explained: "Dad, I want to buy some grass and bring it to the orchard, which will help the growth of fruit trees!"
Li Xiaogang's words made Li Ming stunned: "Xiaogang, aren't you kicked in the head by a donkey? People are afraid of growing grass in their orchards, so it's too late to remove the grass. You are fresh and take the initiative to plant grass in the orchard. You are not sick!"
Li Xiaogang was anxious and said, "Dad, it makes sense for me to do this. Just say help me!"
When Li Xiaoshui saw that Li Xiaogang was anxious, he said that talking to Li Ming like this was clear that things would be bad?
Seeing Li Ming's eyes bulging again, Li Xiaoshui hurriedly said, "Dad, have you seen it too? Xiaogang's eyes are the best of others. The orchard is a proof! Who can think that the original wasteland was reclaimed and it turned out to be such a large orchard? Didn't it give you a face?"
Li Ming thought that it was indeed so good, and he felt a little relieved. He lowered his head and picked up his job, muttering: If he really fights for me, he should find a job in the city.
"Dad, since Xiaogang chose to return to the countryside, we should support him! Let him make good use of all the knowledge he learned in school, right? I think Xiaogang must have his reason for buying grass seeds, and we should all support him! Dad, what do you think?" Li Xiaoshui said gently.
Bai Yun also looked at his son and quietly stepped on Li Ming's feet. Li Ming suddenly put his job and glared at him. Li Xiaoshui and Li Xiaogang thought to himself, but Li Ming said, "I'll give it to you, what if you want to step off my feet!"
Li Ming's words made Bai Yun stunned, and the whole family laughed in a panic.
Early the next morning, Li Xiaogang entered the city. Shanshan was going to follow him, but this time Li Xiaogang didn't agree. The incident in the Internet cafe last time still made me feel scared. If something really happened to Shanshan, he really didn't know how to explain to Erniu.
Every time he enters the city, Li Xiaogang always shows some new changes. The city's expansion has passed far beyond the countryside, and the gap between urban and rural areas is still widening further. Whenever he thinks of this fact, Li Xiaogang feels very uncomfortable, and at the same time he feels that the pressure on his shoulders is getting greater!
Why is it so wrong? Grass seeds are so expensive? Li Xiaogang's eyes glared at the salesperson at the grain planting station. The price of grain planting is not on the same level as grain planting, and it is more expensive.
The salesperson said with a contemptuous look: "Homesick, don't know! In today's urban construction, lawns are a must-have project! The grass seeds are so in short supply!"
The salesperson was right, and it was very touched by Li Xiaogang. Grass is more valuable than food! But not every farmer can change his concept so quickly. Farmers should go to the battlefield when they grow grain, as if they cannot be called farmers without growing grain. When can such concepts be changed, and when can farmers truly pay attention to the cruelty of the market? Li Xiaogang feels that the road ahead is still very long.
With his worries in mind, Li Xiaogang didn't stay in the city for too long. He bought some grass seeds and went home. As soon as he got home, Li Xiaogang found Li Ming and asked what he was going to plant this year?
Li Ming said without looking back: "Of course farmers are growing food! Didn't you see everyone growing it?"
Li Xiaogang said: "Yes, because everyone is growing, the food harvest is getting better and lower every year! Dad, don't you want to plant anything else?"
"Grow something else? Then tell me, what's the best?" The incident of turning into an orchard made Li Ming pay a lot of attention to his son's ideas. If he had something to do or not, he wanted to listen to his opinions.
Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "For example, planting grass?"
"Planting grass!" Li Ming's bull-eyed eyes glared again. He now Li Xiaogang's head was filled with strange ideas. Sometimes he really doubted that the teachers in the university taught him something!
Li Xiaogang hurriedly said: Dad, don’t worry! The food is becoming less and less valuable nowadays. If you want to get rich, you must plant something that others have never planted! Scarcity is precious, which is the most basic market rule. Haven’t you ever thought about it?
