Chapter 21, Section 3 Walk into Ledong
Section 3 Ledong County for seed quarantine procedures
The seed rice began to fill and bear fruit, and there was no farm work in the fields, just waiting for the day when the rice was ripe and harvested.
The team team decided to take turns to take a few days off recently, so that everyone could go to a few places nearby to have fun and buy some souvenirs to take home.
After discussing with Wang Changsong and Fan Guangjie, Ma Linxi was going to go to Sanya, and by the way, he went to Maling in Yacheng to see what the ends of the earth were like.
When I went to Sanya, Ma Linxi mainly wanted to go to the dental prosthesis. Ever since I lost my dentures in that fight, I haven't had time to set them. Besides, in a small market town like Banpo, although there are several dental prostheses, there is no way to install high-end porcelain dentures, and only a larger city like Sanya can do it.
Marlinsi asked the leader for leave.
When Cheng Houbo, the stationmaster of the county seed station, heard about the situation, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "This money team is out." You are also a loss caused by work. Travel expenses and dental prosthesis expenses are reimbursed by the breeding team. ”
"Thank you, Chen. Ma Linxi hurriedly thanked. This is a sincere gratitude. Not to mention that the leaders are concerned, it is the cost of round-trip travel and dental prosthesis, which is more than 100 yuan, which is equivalent to more than two months of lost work subsidies.
"But," Stationmaster Cheng Houbo took a sip of tea and said, "You can also do something for me by the way." ”
"What's the matter, as long as I can do it, you can rest assured. Marlinsi patted his chest.
"Business. He had a smile on his face: "You go and get the seed quarantine exit certificate." ”
"Okay. That's the right thing. Malinsi said.
"Yes. Have you ever been to Ledong? I have to go to Ledong first, and then go to Sanya. Here, the formalities for the certification of the commune and the brigade have been completed. You'll leave tomorrow. Stationmaster Cheng Houbo ordered.
The so-called seed quarantine certificate means that the seeds produced on Hainan Island must be transported out of the island with the crop seed immunization certificate issued by the local agricultural administrative department, otherwise, they cannot leave the island, which is to prevent some infectious diseases, insects and weeds from being mixed in the seeds and brought outside the island.
In recent years, there have been countless breeding cases from the mainland to the islands, and the so-called quarantine certificate is just a formality. According to the regulations, seed specimens shall be provided, tested by the technical department, and only those that meet the standards can be issued and released. At present, the seeds have not yet matured, and when the seeds are harvested, they will go through the formalities and then consign them, so shouldn't they delay the important task of sowing seeds in the hometown? Therefore, the relevant departments have made changes and handled them in advance.
Early the next morning, Ma Linxi squeezed into the long-distance bus to Ledong County from Banpo Bus Station.
Ledong is a county in Hainan Island from the sea to the hinterland, the county seat is in the mountains, it is estimated that it is not as rich as the market towns on the coast, it can be seen from this bus alone. The buses bound for Sanya, Lingshui and Haikou are not only new, but also clean. As for the shuttle bus in Kailedong, the paint is mottled and unkempt, and there is little left and the broken window glass has accumulated thick putty, especially the two pieces of glass behind the buttocks, and it has become a cursed sign: "Wang Ba", "Come here", "Broken car on the dog day", "Chen Hao, I'll go first." "It's unsightly.
When he got into the car, the air inside made Marlinsi want to vomit.
In the aisles, at the door of the car, on the hood of the engine, there were people everywhere, piled up with fish, chickens, duck souvenirs that the mountain people had bought back, the wooden floor was full of mud and garbage, watermelon peels, banana peels, coconut shells, many people chewing sugar cane, betel nut, and debris spit all over the ground.
The sun had risen, the six o'clock shuttle, now it was almost seven o'clock, and the driver's seat was still empty.
The lady of the ticket inspector wearing a red armband, holding a cardboard clip of unknown color, whistled, and then shouted at the top of her voice: "Passengers to Ledong get on the bus." ”
Ma Linxi couldn't stand the filthy breath in the carriage, and his throat turned upwards for a while, wanting to vomit, but he couldn't. As soon as you get to the car, stick your head out the window.
"I don't want to live. A loud voice woke him from his musings. Then there was the clatter of the car door closing, which shook the car with a chain sound, and the engine roared. The middle-aged man sitting on the hood of the engine case, who seemed to be some acquaintance of the driver, hurriedly lit a cigarette, went straight to the mouth of the big driver, and lit another one himself.
At a quarter past seven, the car slowly drove out of the Banpo bus station.
After leaving the station, the bus didn't go far along the seaside road, and turned left onto the northbound road. Like all roads on Hainan Island, tall pine trees grow on both sides of the gravel road, and the dense shade is like a cool corridor, wandering between the fields and the mountains.
Half an hour later, the car entered the forest, full of green hills, almost no people, and occasionally a small cottage could be seen flashing out of the window.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the car arrived in Ledong County.
It is said that it is the county seat, and the streets are full of tatters, which is not as good as the small market town in Ma Linxi's hometown. A narrow east-west avenue leads up the hillside, with few buildings, crowded with stalls, and the air is filled with the smell of a tropical market town, with sugar cane husks and coconut shells everywhere, and free-range livestock and poultry everywhere.
At a street stall, Ma Linxi bought a rice noodle. After eating indiscriminately, I hurried to the county agricultural bureau.
On the second floor of a dilapidated and mottled building, he found a sign that read "Ledong County Agricultural Bureau," and the doorman said, "It's not time to go to work." ”
"What time do you get to work?" asked Marinthi, handing over a cigarette with a flattering face.
"Half past two. The man took the cigarette and lit it himself. A nonchalant look.
Marlinsi looked at his watch, but he didn't see it, so he wandered out into the street.
I found Xinhua Bookstore, bought a booklet of "Hybrid Rice Three-line Breeding", and continued to walk to the end. After a while, it went downhill again. It turned out that the entire county seat was located on a hill surrounded by mountains, and beyond that, there were no houses.
At half past two, Ma Linxi came to the door of the county agricultural bureau on time, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, the door of the office in charge of seed quarantine opened. Because the formalities were complete, a middle-aged woman who had applied for the certificate almost didn't speak, and completed his formalities, and finally handed him a stack of bills of several colors, and Ma Linxi paid the money according to the regulations and hurried to the station.
Unfortunately, the last shuttle bus to Banpo just left ten minutes ago. In desperation, he had to stay at a hotel near the station. Then, I went to the window and bought a return ticket.
There was nothing to see in the county, and after dinner, Ma Linxi went to the street for a while, then went back to the inn to rest, and lay down in bed to read the newly bought booklet.
Early the next morning, I got in the car and left Ledong County.
