Chapter 5 The Old Places Unrecognizable

"Before you go back to school, stay with us for a few days, don't worry, I won't let you help with the noodles," the village entrance, the uncle said to Feng Yiping with a smile.

The distinguished guests came and went quickly, and the leaders of the city, county and town levels were sent off, and the uncle and grandfather also wanted to go back.

The sun is very hot these days, and there are not even showers to cool down, but for the noodle workshop, it is a good weather for high production.

In the past, my grandfather would have stayed at least a few more days for such a big event, but now it is different from the past, the road is open, and there are cars, so it is very convenient to go up and down.

"I'm not afraid of work, as long as you don't think I'm causing trouble," this matter is also a technical job.

The family will not stop, although the guests are gone, but the people in the mound are still there, Xiao Zhijie proposed, "Go, go to the place where you once fought, I heard that you are a good hand at herding cattle,"

"Okay, let's go to the mountains, speaking of which, I haven't been to the mountains in years,"

"Look at it, forget about it," Mr. Wang said.

Immediately retorted, "You're not the same,"

Only then did I find that the change was really big.

The hill behind the old house is overgrown with thatch, artemisia grass, and shrubs, which is a scene that Feng Yiping has never seen since he was a child.

In the past, Feng Yiping went to his grandfather's house and junior high school, and the mountain road he had to walk was now occupied by weeds because few people walked.

When they got to the river, they all had a stick in their hands. This was pulled out of the fence of the family's vegetable garden, there was no way, along the way, the grass was too deep and too dense, and there must have been a lot of snakes and insects in it.

"It's changed so much. Feng Yiping said with a stick and standing by the river.

The river in front of him, and the river in his impression, have changed too much, how can I say that? He seems to have rejuvenated.

For example, on the narrow river beach, wild celery is now overflowing, and it grows very well, and the stems are white and leafy. The high energy is fifty or sixty centimeters.

Can celery be picked by this little river? How could this be a few years ago?

Not to mention wild vegetables here, even the weeds did not grow deep, and when they grew a little, they were either eaten by cattle and sheep, or cut by people, but now the thatch on the shore grows luxuriantly, with an average height of more than one meter. Even if he hid the chubby Xiao Zhijie inside, he couldn't see it when he was idle.

Stand by the river for a while. You can see that there are small shrimp and thumb-length fish swimming inside, which was impossible a few years ago, when every once in a while, someone would call back and forth along the river with a battery on their back. The river is basically extinct with fish and shrimp, and there are few small crabs that walk sideways.

After resting for a while by the shady river, they continued their walk up the hill.

Although they haven't been to this mountain for a few years, their basic skills are still there, and when they walked to the stone slope where Feng Yiping and his sister rolled the pine trees down. Xiao Zhijie, who sweated the most, picked up the cool mountain spring and washed his face, "Comfortable!"

"Just by looking at it, you guys are really rich now," Mr. Wang said.

The life in the village has gradually become richer, and the most direct change is that the fields on the mountains next to them, whether they were later cultivated by themselves or distributed to households in the village, no one is willing to plant them now, which is too troublesome, and it can be regarded as spontaneous return to forest.

He looked at the few pieces of land that his family had worked hard to open up, and there was no trace of it, thinking that back then, not only was the field full of crops, but also sorghum was planted in the ditch, and a gourd was planted on the ditch, and when my mother came home from the mountain at noon every day, she would pick a suitable one and pick it off, cut it into small pieces and cook it at home, and then cook a wheat cake, which was the family's Chinese rice.

Xiao Zhijie threw the water in his hand on the two of them, "So those who are clamoring to protect the ecology and prevent soil erosion are all in the wrong direction, as long as the farmers are rich, so that they no longer ask these mountains for benefits, or feel that they have to work hard to ask these mountains, these lands are not cost-effective to benefit, and the ecology will naturally recover,"

This is reasonable, in fact, Feng Yiping later watched some foreign scenery films, such as the British ones, he couldn't figure it out, such a large piece of land on both sides of the road, let it be barren and grassy, how wasteful!

In addition to the fact that they may have a relatively small population, Xiao Zhijie said this should be the main reason.

For example, now, the people in the courtyard work in the factory, and their monthly salary is higher than the income of working hard for more than half a year in the fields on these mountains, so how can they still spend so much energy on planting these fields?

If it weren't for the food you grow, and if it weren't for the food factory that needed raw materials, it is estimated that many of the fields near the mound would be abandoned.

Feng Yuxuan was sweeping the ground in front of the door with a big broom, and when she saw the celery in their hands, she liked it, "Who planted this?"

Mei Qiuping knew at a glance, "This is still used for seeds, it should be picked by the river,"

"Ahh

"Sister Yuxuan, don't you know, those fields by the river are planted less now, and there will be no residues of pesticides or fertilizers in the river water, which is absolutely pollution-free, pure organic wild celery, you must sell it at a meat price," Xiao Zhijie said.

The lunch was noisy, and the dinner was really a lot, but Mei Qiuping was not very happy.

"Look at you, the fish and meat don't move, just grab that, haven't you eaten enough in those years? What's so delicious about this?" Mei Qiuping looked at the three of them and finished pulling the plate of pickled chili fried and pickled cowpeas with a few chopsticks, and scolded with a smile.

"Auntie, it's still like this," Xiao Zhijie said.

"Then you can't just eat that," Mei Qiuping used chopsticks to give him fish and meat, "It's still your parents who have the ability, your family had a good life when you were a child, so you look so good, look at Changning and Yiping." I still haven't gained weight,"

Xiao Zhijie looked at Feng Yiping and Wang Changning, the two guys immediately straightened their waists very coquettishly, and made a jade tree in the wind, he said with a bitter face, "Aunt." I really want to be as skinny as both of them,"

"It's better to eat less, this salt is too much," Feng Zhenchang was still slowly drinking his cup of wine, looking at the three young men with a smile.

"That's it, experts have said that eating too many pickles can cause cancer," Feng Yuxuan agreed, but she didn't touch the fish and meat on the table. Eat wild celery picked by the river.

However, my sister sometimes speaks, but she is not too brainy, and sure enough, her father immediately educated her.

"You, you, why don't you still ask for understanding?" Hearing his daughter say such things, Feng Zhenchang was a little unhappy, the current food factory. All kinds of small pickles are bought very well, and they are all out of the country. Isn't it hard to get along with him when you say such things?

"Is that pickle that the expert said is our?"

"Yes, Dad, it's good for us to eat like this, especially when we sweat a lot in the summer. Don't be angry when you need to replenish salt, didn't I follow my mother's words, Mom, you took me to the ditch again. ”

Feng Yiping smiled secretly, my sister's ability to adapt has grown!

It was Wang Changning who was kind and helped change the topic, "Uncle, this new house is really well built,"

These words poked Feng Zhenchang's itch, "Okay, you have also been to the villa in Yiping Capital, it's no worse than him,"

"Better than his," the two said in quick succession.

"It's more lively than him," Mr. Xiao said.

"It's more life than him," Mr. Wang said.

"In short, it's better than his, we all want to rebuild our house like this,"

The words of the two sycophants made Feng Zhenchang come and say, "This thing is really not so simple, it is not that it can be built with money, our house type is designed by experts in the province, and these roads next to it, and the various pipelines below, have been scientifically planned by experts, if the village cadres are not effective, these things are really difficult to do, don't brag and say, our village should be the first in the countryside in the province to have water and water,"

Feng Zhenchang couldn't quietly say more about his feelings, tomorrow the people from Sato Trading Company are coming, and the two directors of the food factory and the tea factory are a little uneasy, and now come to the house to determine tomorrow's reception arrangements.

"Isn't the preparation for the reception already in place? Don't be too nervous, just treat it as an ordinary customer," Feng Zhenchang is now a little bit desireless.

"We have to be confident in our products, and sometimes we can't even supply our own convenience stores, so they should be nervous."

Feng Yiping saw that it was the first time for these two to deal with foreigners, and he had no bottom in his heart.

"Relax, food factories and tea factories, usually all aspects of the requirements are high, as long as it is the same as usual, there will be no problem, you have to think, if it is not for our products are good, attractive to them, they will come all the way to the field?"

"Yes, but after all, this is the first time that the factory has received foreign businessmen, and it is earning dollars, so we are afraid that something will go wrong tomorrow,"

"Regardless of foreign or domestic businessmen, the quality of our products, our production requirements, who still has you in the industry? Who has your high requirements? You all think it's okay, how can there be any problems?" The two guys in their thirties and forties actually wanted Feng Yiping, a young man, to give them confidence repeatedly.

"Also, regarding the living arrangement, we thought, can we arrange that room into a Japanese-style tatami mat?"

Since Sato is here, of course, it is impossible to take a look at the flowers and flowers, at least you have to stay overnight, there is no hotel in the town, if you go back to the county, it will take four or five hours to go back and forth, which is unrealistic.

So Feng Zhenchang arranged for someone to clean up a few rooms in the office building and arrange them into bedrooms, the furniture is new, the bedding is new, and the electrical appliances are also new.

"There's no need, that's good, if we go to Japan for an inspection, they won't change the tatami mats into beds, okay, don't think about it," Feng Yiping sent them out, "There won't be anything, go back and have a good rest, just wait for them to investigate, and then place a big order!"
