The two children were muttering and talking about parting.

Butler Zhou and Mo Xiangshan were also saying goodbye, and Butler Zhou gave Mo Xiangshan the key to the house and said, "Brother Mo, the young master's grandfather is about to celebrate the birthday of the young master. I will take the young master back and probably stay in Yanjing for the New Year. I will leave it for more than two months, and there is no one at home. I will leave the key to you. If you have time, go and have a look."

Mo Xiangshan took the key and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of your yard."

The next morning, Mo Xiangshan drove a ox cart to take Butler Zhou and Gu Yanze to the county town.

Mo Huihui made soft and fragrant scallion pancakes, cooked a few more eggs, and brought them to Gu Yanze and Butler Zhou.

It was not until they were taken to the train sleeper that Mo Xiangshan got off the train.

Before boarding the train, Butler Zhou asked Mo Xiangshan to send a telegram to Yanjing.

When they get off the bus when they arrive in Yanjing, someone will come to pick them up.

After Gu Yanze left, Mo Xiaomi stayed at home all day because her mother was heavy, it was snowing outside and it was raining and freezing. Mo Xiaomi was worried that her mother was alone at home.

Mo Xiangshan found a suitable opportunity to trim the excess branches of the nine pear seedlings at home. Mo Xiaomi carefully sorted these branches and prepared them for grafting.

"Grandpa, can you graft?" Mo Xiaomi asked, "What do you need to do? Teach me!"

Mo Xiangshan smiled proudly and said, "Of course, I will do it later. I will take you to the top of our mountain. There are hundreds of pear trees on it. The pears produced are small and taste good, but they can't be sold at the price. If they can all be made into golden pears that you gave me before, they will be valuable. I will try them anyway."

So Mo Xiangshan prepared the tools and went to the top of the Mo Xiangshan family with the pruned pear branches.

Mo Dayong has half a month left to get married and is busy buying all kinds of things at home, so he has no time to come and help.

I don’t know if it’s OK now, and Mo Xiangshan doesn’t want others to learn it. If it doesn’t work, it’s not good to make people laugh at it, and it’s not good to bring losses to others.

There are some other trees on the hillside of Mo Xiaomi's house. They usually cut firewood and burn fire. The relatively straight trees are usually used to build houses. Because they cannot be transported out, they are not worth anything.

There are hundreds of pear trees of all sizes facing the sun on two hills.

The pear trees in Pear Blossom Bay are at most two meters long, and they are all very short pear trees, so their branches are not thick.

Mo Xiangshan went straight up the main trunk, leaving only three to four branches, and the others were directly sawed off.

"Xiaomi, you're ready. We use the bud grafting method. It is simple and easy to use, with a high survival rate and is not restricted by seasons. It can be done all year round. First, when picking up the buds, take the scion. Now cut one centimeter downwards to one-third of the good xylem, about two centimeters long. Then cut the first cutter edge at the bottom of the bud no more than one centimeter below the bud and remove the woody bud slices; the cut shape on the rootstock and the cut bud slices are slightly longer than the bud slices. Take the slices on the rootstock and insert the varieties bud slices immediately. This is done. However, it should be noted that a thread of the rootstock cortex must be exposed at the top of the bud slices, and finally tie them tightly with plastic strips." Mo Xiangshan explained to his granddaughter while doing it.
