471, Journey to the Frontier (14)

The old man took the glass very carefully, and did not drink it immediately, but took the glass and looked at it very carefully for a while, and then put it under his nose for a while, and then brought it to his mouth and took a small sip. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old man closed his eyes, savored the enjoyment of the good wine in his mouth, and then sighed for a long time and said, "What a good wine!"

Li Yi and the old man clinked glasses and drank each other, and soon attracted Wu Wan and all the other researchers, more than a dozen people drank a large jar of good wine for an afternoon, but in the evening, except for Li Yi and the old man, Wu Wan and the others were all drunk, and they staggered around in the car and fell asleep.

After getting drunk, the relationship between Li Yi and Wu Wan's team members became very harmonious. After understanding, Li Yi knew that the old man's name was Sun Guangqing, who was in his early seventies and engaged in biological research and education, but the old man didn't know why he kept silent about his past experience.

"Dr. Wu, Old Sun, why don't you seem to be willing to talk about your past!"

As the first generation of scientists trained by himself in New China, the mentors of the old man are the predecessors of the two bombs and one star of New China, but the catastrophe destroyed the old man's family, and later because of the birth problem, the problem of many old people could not be solved!"

When everything has subsided, the old man is about to retire, because he has delayed too much time, the old man always wants to do something, but there is always only such things to hinder, so that the old man gradually becomes cynical.

In the end, the old man, who was not accepted by the world, has been engaged in biodiversity research in the Gobi Desert and the Great Desert of Xinjiang for many years, and rarely has contact with children.

Wu Wan was able to know Sun Lao, and the reason for this was very simple, her mentor was Sun Lao's disciple. Mr. Sun stayed in the frontier for ten years and played a great role in the local education.

What touched Li Yi the most was that Sun Lao's off-road vehicle, which had been his companion for many years, had actually reached the end of its life, but the local people knew that Sun Lao had never had a lot of money on hand, and a little money was given to those who needed help.

In order to thank Sun Lao for his contributions to the local area over the years, and also to avoid the danger of Sun Lao being trapped in the wilderness, the locals found a car repair shop, and let the car repair shop come forward and completely refurbish Sun Lao's off-road vehicle, except for the shell, the interior from the engine, transmission, etc. were all replaced with the best spare parts that can be found locally.

"Old Sun is so old, do you really want to bury your bones in this Gobi Desert?"

Faced with Li Yi's question, Wu Wan couldn't answer it, in fact, Sun Lao's children had been planning to take the old man home in the past few years, but the stubborn old man just didn't want to go back.

"In fact, Grandpa Sun is worried about the children here, the frontier is weak for most of the economy, the educational conditions are not very good, these years Grandpa Sun has always used all the methods and contacts he can use to help the local education, in order to be able to let the next generation get better educational conditions, Grandpa Sun can be said to have worked hard and exhausted his efforts!"

"Then let me figure it out!"

Sun Guangqing has an assistant, this person is actually a university student, was moved by the old man's helpfulness and the broad mind of the world, when he was about to graduate from college, when he participated in volunteer activities again, he learned about the situation of the old man, and since then he has been following the old man, so that now seven or eight years have passed, and the graduation certificate has not been obtained.

The young man did not follow the old man for fame and fortune from the beginning, but now he lives a hard life with the old man, but enjoys it. When Li Yi found him, he saw that the clothes on the young man's body had been worn for I don't know how many years, and he couldn't see the original color clearly.

The young man, who was not yet thirty years old, looked like a half-old man in his forties, also with a scruffy beard, a raunchy appearance, very thin, but very energetic.

When Li Yi found Sun Lao's assistant, the young man was squatting next to the off-road vehicle, cooking on a small kerosene stove, and the meal was very simple, simple beyond Li Yi's imagination, just some dried vegetables and fried barley noodles.

"Do you feel miserable with this kind of life?" asked Li Yi.

The young man looked up and saw that it was the young man who invited the old man to drink yesterday, so he stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said, "My name is Luo Bingnan, how can I feel bitter when I do such a meaningful thing?"

"You are a person I admire, if the world were like you, my world would be much better!"

Li Yi sincerely admired Luo Bingnan, Luo Bingnan looked at the stove under his feet, couldn't help but shed tears, he choked up and said:

"Mr. Li, can you find a way to persuade the teacher to go home? He is already in very bad health, and he has been bleeding recently!"

"There's such a thing, well, I'll try my best to figure it out!"

Li Yi suddenly asked, "What is the most worrying thing for Sun Lao at the moment?"

Luo Bingnan thought for a while and quickly replied: "It's the education problem here, so every residence is far away from the county seat, and the flow is not a school that can be taken into account, the transportation is not convenient, plus there is no good school, and there are not enough teachers, these are all problems that make teachers feel distressed!"

"I leave these things to you, are you sure of them?" Li Yi asked again.

"In fact, these problems, the most direct problem is the lack of money, the local economy is better than Karamay and the city, and the slightly marginal places are not so good!"

"In recent years, due to the shortage of water, in addition to the irrigation area, the grassland has been degraded in many places, grazing has been unable to bring everyone stable income, and oil exploitation has basically ended!"

Li Yi nodded, Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, and its development is uneven, which exists in the northwest and southwest, but there are many people and resources in the south, and there is always a suitable path for development, but Xinjiang is not facing more problems.

"Money isn't an issue, do you have statistics and specific methods here?"

"Yes," Luo Bingnan said, taking out a plan, "This is the development plan that the teacher and I have determined after a detailed investigation, and the problem involving population migration is the most difficult to solve!"

"Population migration!" Li Yi was a little puzzled.

Luo Bingnan saw Li Yi's doubts and explained: "The population density here is too low, and it is easy to build a school but there is no way to take care of it, so we can only let people gather together to live, so as to solve the problems of education, transportation, and medical care!"

"This problem, I want to find a way to solve it, then after I take Sun Lao away, this place will be handed over to you, it's too difficult for you to do these things alone, do you have a helper?"
