Chapter 69: It's All Up to You
When Long Peng arrived on the motorcycle that Zhang Huanmei picked him up, he saw Yao Yao and they were chatting happily with Professor Zhao.
Yang Hongliang finally didn't have to sit awkwardly on the side, talking about farming and rural conditions, and chatting with Professor Zhao with taste, but Yao Yao sat on the side, only occasionally interjecting a few words.
Holding Professor Zhao's hand, Long Peng looked like he had seen his long-lost relatives: "Old Zhao, you are finally here." ”
When Yao Yao and Yang Xiayao tested him, he really didn't know Zhao Mingsheng, and later asked Ru Huilan's husband, that is, the surging "Uncle Zhe" in her mouth, to introduce an agricultural expert, Zhang Zhe didn't think about it at all, and directly recommended Zhao Mingsheng, and he began to understand this person.
Zhao Mingsheng, former vice president of the Research Institute directly under the Provincial Department of Agriculture, retired professor of the Provincial Agricultural University, winner of the National Outstanding Contribution Award, enjoying national special allowances, doctoral supervisor, has been running around the poor mountainous areas in southwest China all the year round, and has improved a variety of crops such as sweet potatoes, corn and fruits......
This is another truly respectable pillar of the country.
Not to mention that he was invited by Uncle Zhe to come, with his personality and achievements, Long Peng will be respectful no matter how proud he is.
Professor Zhao shook hands with him, but his face was full of confusion, and he didn't know why this young man was as affectionate to him as a grandson seeing his grandfather.
Yao Yao and the others looked at each other, and they didn't know how to introduce them.
Long Peng saw Professor Zhao's expression and knew that Uncle Zhe had not mentioned himself to him, so he immediately improvised and said with a smile: "Old Zhao, it is the first time for me to meet a person of high moral integrity like you, and I am excited. ”
Professor Zhao was stunned at this time, laughing and humbling.
Yao Yao and the others had a smile on their faces, but they were full of slander in their hearts: "It's weird." ”
"Now young people's mouths are sweet. Professor Zhao laughed, patted Long Pengpao on the shoulder, and said, "You are also a village official? Young people should go to the grassroots level to exercise more, so that they can do better things for the country in the future." ”
Long Peng smiled with shame and embarrassment: "No." Old Zhao, you misunderstood. I'm here to play, give some ideas to Yang Tiancun, and do some small work. ”
Professor Zhao sighed, and said with interest on his face, "What do you say?"
He is a scholar, but he is not a nerdy scholar, Yao Yao They didn't introduce him, and Long Peng also talked about it in a twist and turn, but who is he?
Secretary Zhang inexplicably invited him to an ordinary mountain village, except that some planting projects were being developed here, nothing else was mentioned, and there were no ghosts in it.
And in the past few hours from the provincial capital, he thought about it all the way, and he couldn't understand what reason Zhang Zhezhi had to visit his house, and asked him to go on this trip and guide him for a few days.
He has always been happy to work in the countryside, even if he has been retired for more than ten years, he will walk around every year to help the places in need.
Still, he was a little curious about the task.
The appearance of the dragon surging made him feel a little bit of a spectrum in his heart.
"My name is Long Peng, and I usually like to think about some things that I have and don't have. ”
Long Peng helped him pour the tea, introduced himself, and said, "My ancestor is also from Yangtian Village. This time Yangtian Village was renovated, and I felt that the various resources here could be utilized, so I would help come up with some ideas. ”
"Long Peng?"
Professor Zhao's broom-like big eyebrows jumped, and he already knew it, and then reached out to pat him on the shoulder, smiling even more happily: "Not bad, not bad, good name." With you young people, the great dragon of our motherland will move forward even more vigorously. ”
Long family...... I didn't expect it to come out of this small mountain village.
"Thank you Zhao Lao for the compliment. ”
Long Peng's face was a little impressive, and they were surprised to see Yao Yao.
This guy is even shy?
"Come, tell me what you are going to do. Professor Zhao guessed Long Peng's background, so it was not surprising why Zhang Zhe would personally invite him here.
Long Peng looked at the time and said, "Old Zhao, why don't we go to lunch first, let's ask you for advice while eating?!"
"Everything. ”
Professor Zhao said that when he saw Long Peng coming to help, he waved his hand carelessly: "Don't help me, I'm not that old." ”
Zhang Huanmei, who was on the side, had already seen the opportunity to rush out and went to the school cafeteria to let people prepare lunch.
While eating and chatting, Professor Zhao quickly understood Yangtian Village's plan and demands, and said with a smile: "No wonder you saw so many people leveling the fields when you first entered the village, it turns out that your ambition is so big. No problem, we'll look around after eating. ”
Yao Yao and Long Peng glanced at each other, and couldn't help but say, "Old Zhao, don't you need to take a lunch break?"
"No, you don't. Professor Zhao waved his hand: "I haven't had a lunch break for decades, as long as I have enough sleep time at night." ”
"Where do you dare to bother you at night. Yao Yao said and sandwiched a piece of special tofu stuffed for him: "You eat slowly, eat more, we are not in a hurry." ”
............
On the road down to the village, Yao Yao held an umbrella to shade Professor Zhao, Long Peng walked aside, and the driver followed.
Of all the small villages, the lower village has the most abandoned old and dilapidated houses, and likewise, the wisteria flowers that grow on these houses are also the most.
Therefore, the two took Professor Zhao directly to visit the village.
Cuttings are the most basic way to plant wisteria Yao Yao knows, in her and Long Peng's plan, the nursery area, the picking area and part of the experience area are all used in this method, according to the needs of the large and small branch cuttings.
But they don't know how to survive better, how to promote rapid growth, and how to produce more beautiful wisteria flowers.
What's more, they are also preparing to transplant such a large plant in front of them that covers the entire rotten house.
The old house in front of me was a mud brick house from decades ago, abandoned for I don't know how many years, and it was overgrown with weeds and small trees, and some small seedlings from fallen wisteria seeds. Most of the back walls have collapsed, and there are only a few black tiles left in a few corners of the roof, and the shelves are either broken or rotten, and only two rows of beams are barely intact.
In the development and renovation plan of Yangtian Village, such a house must be demolished. As for the wisteria flowers, the wisteria blossom company will buy them at a high price, or the homeowner can build a scaffolding by himself after the house is demolished, so that he can do something to make a living in the future.
"What a beautiful flower. ”
Professor Zhao didn't care about the smell of mildew at all, walked into the rotten house, stepped on the weeds and observed the wisteria flowers hanging overhead, and sighed: "Your idea is really good, completely make use of such a beautiful plant, and the entire Yangtian Village will become the focus of the world." ”
"It's up to you to help. Long said with a grin.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Professor Zhao nodded reservedly: "There is only a limit to what I can do, and it all depends on your efforts." ”
As he spoke, he squatted down to carefully observe the roots of the wisteria flower, and grabbed a handful of soil to look at it carefully: "The wisteria flower is drought-tolerant, but it likes moisture, and this wild one is basically sown from bird droppings." No wonder the air in this village is so good, there are so many wisteria flowers as purifiers. ”
Yao Yao was full of joy: "Old Zhao, is it right to say that we are doing the right thing to open up a planting base at the entrance of the village?"
"Of course. Professor Zhao straightened up, observed the arm-thick wisteria, and said: "Outside the village is the national highway, and there is a wisteria planting base in front of it, so dust and exhaust gases cannot enter, and the air in the village will get better and better in the future." ”
Yao Yao was extremely happy when he said this. The better the air in Yangtian Village, the better the experience for tourists, and the more nostalgic they will be here.
Long Peng's ears listened to the conversation between the two, but his eyes kept looking around, and the driver looked around the house.
This is an abandoned and dilapidated house, not only to prevent the brick beams from falling suddenly, but also to be careful of potential dangers such as snakes, rats and bees.
After all, Professor Zhao is already in his prime, and if something goes wrong, then their responsibility will be great.
