Although there is only one sleeper car, there are not a few people who can afford to sit on it, and the position of the window in the aisle of the carriage is basically full of passengers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info each soft sleeper box, you can also hear the sound of talking and playing cards inside, which is very lively.

"Let it go, please let it go." A passenger cautiously held a plastic lunch box and walked down the aisle to avoid the person sitting in the window seat, constantly reminding him.

Everywhere he walked, there was a smell of fragrance.

The middle-aged man who persuaded the old man not to be angry, saw people coming, quickly stood up, clinged to the wall of the carriage, gave way to him, smelled the fragrance, and said with a smile: "It's only past ten o'clock, why are you hungry at this time?" What are you soaking, it looks like noodles, it smells good, is it served in the dining car? ”

"Urine bag?" The man spoke a local Mandarin, which made the middle-aged man confused, and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, ...... bag, you, you don't think it's a peeing bag! Hey, I'm talking about the package of ingredients! Seeing that his eyes were in a daze, the passenger was stunned for a moment, but suddenly understood, and explained to him with a smile.

The accent of Southwest Mandarin is very strong, especially the L and N are not distinguished, and northerners can understand it, but it is more difficult to listen.

Hearing what he said interestingly, even the old man who was sitting by the window in the aisle and looking out laughed, pointed to the middle-aged man and quipped: "Xiao Huang, you, you, your thoughts are very complicated." People are obviously talking about the ingredients of the ingredients, and you can also think of it as peeing pee! ”

The passengers in the seats and boxes near the left all laughed, making the middle-aged man blush.

"This instant noodle is really convenient, is it your local specialty? When I go back, I'll buy a few packs to take home, so that my kid can try them too. He was anxious to uncover the big joke and boasted casually.

The nearby travelers laughed again.

"This comrade, in fact, we have had this instant noodles since ancient times, and it was used as a food reserve for the march. The one we eat is the first modern method introduced in Japan, and we learned it according to the local area, and then we first promoted it on the train, and it is not wrong to say that it is a local specialty. Seeing his uncomfortable appearance, he was afraid that he would not be able to hang his face, so he hurriedly helped him play a round road, and changed the topic by the way, "Instant noodles need to be boiled before they can be boiled, but the connections of the carriages are crowded with people." If you want to take a soak, it's best to ask the food truck attendant. ”

"Thank you!" The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and the heat on his face subsided a little.

Hearing that the aisle was crowded with people, the old man nodded and said: "This is a good job on the train, although the train is a little crowded, but it is indeed convenient for the masses to travel and do things, which should be praised." ”

Listening to the momentum of his speech, he looked like a big cadre, the passenger smiled and nodded, not wanting to have a deep chat with him, said yes, and walked to the box where he was sitting with a hot lunch box.

"Zhu Lao, do you want to taste the taste of this instant noodle, I smell very good." The middle-aged man sniffed the fragrance wafting from the carriage, sniffled, and smiled at the old man.

The country has just decided to reform and open up, and the closed country has only opened a crack, and there are very few new things from the outside world, and he has seen it for the first time.

"It's okay, the food on the dining car is too expensive, and it costs more than a dollar for a meal, so it's more cost-effective to eat instant noodles. My lunch box is in the bag, when you go, make me one by the way, and I'll try it to see if this instant noodle is so delicious. The old man hesitated for a moment, but immediately agreed.

By the time the middle-aged man came back from the dining car, it was already pouring rain outside the train, and the whole sky had become hazy with rain.

The two of them had eaten instant noodles, and they both applauded loudly, and the strong aroma made them have a long aftertaste.

Maybe in a few years, when instant noodles start to be on the market in large quantities, they will eat instant noodles until they want to vomit, but at this time, they are really satisfied with this convenient and delicious food, and praise it repeatedly.

The only regret is that the amount is a little less.

It doesn't matter if the old man eats little, but the middle-aged man is a well-known pot-bellied man, a pack of instant noodles can't be eaten at all, and he is reluctant to buy it again, so he takes out the steamed buns he carries with him from the bag and tears them into small pieces, and puts them in instant noodle soup to soak them hot. The steamed buns that absorbed the essence of the ingredients were full of flavor, and the middle-aged people smiled when they ate them, and they ate two big white flour steamed buns in a row, and then stopped with satisfaction and said yes.

For the rest of the journey, they all ate instant noodles and steamed buns as their staple foods, and never ate anything else.

On the road, the rain was also continuous, sometimes pouring down, sometimes lightning and thunderstorms, and the sky was never sunny again.

According to travelers around the city, this is the rainy season, and heavy rainstorms like this one occur every now and then. It is not uncommon not to see even a sunny day for a month, which gives the two an intuitive impression of the climate in the southwest.

The train traveled all the way south, and when it stopped at the last station in the country, the border guards only took a turn on the train, checked everyone's tickets, briefly inquired about the reason for going to the base area, and then issued them a border pass, and left.

"The pass is collected, you will have to check it when you return home. If you lose it, you may be in trouble. The passengers they knew on the bus kindly reminded.

After thanking the two, they solemnly put the pass close to their chests.

When the train entered the base area, the old man looked at the large green rice fields that passed along the way, and praised: "Your agriculture here is doing well, looking at this growth, this year should be a bumper year." ”

After talking with Yu Lu, he knew that most of the passengers in the soft sleeper compartment on the train were cadres from the base area.

"The rice is growing well, and this is also a matter of the past year. It was only thanks to the construction of farmland and water conservancy organized by the base areas, the invitation of a large number of agricultural experts from China to provide technical guidance, and the purchase of a large amount of chemical fertilizer to give to the peasant households at a low price, so that such a good harvest could be achieved. A traveler who knew said with a smile, "In the past, we had to buy rice from outside every year, or we would starve to death, but looking at the growth of this year's crops, it is estimated that we don't need to buy food from outside." ”

The cadres and masses in the base area on the car were very concerned about this topic, and when they heard the conversation between the two, they couldn't help but talk about it.

"The key is to divide the land, and the enthusiasm of the farmers is high." A dark-skinned traveler hit the nail on the head, "It is said that collective labor is more efficient, I heard that the United States and the Soviet Union are also engaged in large farms, and the harvest is also very high, but this set is not good on our side: doing farm work is tiring, who doesn't want to hide in the shade of a tree with their feet crossed to sleep, and then wait for others to do a good job and then divide the grain." Everyone is a smart person, and they all want to cheat, and in the end, no one wants to work hard. The soil quality here is poor, the harvest is not high, and we also make a big pot of rice, but the harvest is less than 60 catties per acre, and no one can eat enough. Now that the land is divided, it seems that the efficiency is low, but there is no chance to be lazy, the land is your own, the good and the bad are your own, and it depends on whether you are diligent or not, and you can't complain about others. In this way, the people had to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and work hard in agriculture, coupled with the technical guidance of the agricultural technology station and the open supply of chemical fertilizers, so that there was this scene in front of them. ”

"Speaking of which, it's still your policy, and the country doesn't dare to do that. Brother, what do you estimate about this year's harvest, how much rice can be harvested per mu? The old man nodded again and again and asked thoughtfully.

"This is not accurate, how can you do it with your eyes." The dark-skinned traveler shook his head.

"I know!" A gossip traveler interjected, "My family is a Guogen person, and although I have entered the factory, I often help my family with farm work. According to the technician of the agricultural technology station, the best agricultural conditions in the base area are the farmland along the Qingshui River-Rolling Lane, and there are also Mujie and Nankan irrigation convenience, although the area of farmland in Guigui and Nandeng is large, the soil quality is average, and the soil quality in other places is not good. According to him, the land around Guogen County is not very good, mainly because the soil lacks enough nutrients for crops to grow, and the harvest can be greatly increased after the new water conservancy facilities and fertilizer fields are built, and according to his estimates, the harvest of one mu of Guogen's paddy field can be about 500 catties. This is only the first year, the second year the soil strength is up, the harvest will increase a little, it may reach 600 catties, if you want to increase the yield per mu to 800 catties, it is more difficult. ”

There was a gasping sound in the carriage.

After the base area was built, the cadres who came over were not very clear, but all the locals were amazed by the figure of 500 catties per mu.

What was the agriculture of the root and other base areas like in the past, the best yield per mu was only about 100 catties, and generally only 80 or 90 catties. Five hundred catties had already multiplied the harvest three or four times, far exceeding their expectations. This mu yield alone, according to each family's 50 acres of responsibility land, a family of five, a season's harvest can reach 25,000 catties!

The croppers eat a lot, only two catties of rice a day, and the whole family consumes only 3,650 catties of grain a year.

This season's harvest is enough to feed the whole family, and the surplus rice can be sold to the grain purchasing station, which will greatly increase the family income.

Moreover, with the popularization of family farming, the daily meat in the mouths of ordinary people is also increasing, and the per capita consumption of rice and other grains is still declining.

The base areas have always taken protective measures for peasant households, never confiscating a penny of tax, but often paying wages to peasant workers through water conservancy and road construction. No matter how the price of grain fluctuates, the rice imported from the international grain market is sold in a fixed amount every month according to the price of one dime per catty according to the household registration book, but the purchase price changes according to the changes in the international market, and the common people have never suffered a loss.

At the current market price of $140 per ton of rice, a family of five has as much as 10 tons of rich grain in one season, which is enough to sell for $1,400, or 2,450 yuan, and the monthly income of the family has reached 200 yuan.

This income is average to an individual, which is still not high, but this is only one season!

According to the status of the subtropics, the water and heat conditions are sufficient throughout the year, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, it is not a problem to grow two or even three crops a year. In addition, there are also family breeding, planting vegetables and other cash crops, and it is not impossible to go to the city to work in the city during the slack time to earn 10,000 yuan a year.

Reminiscing about the old and chasing the new, as long as the cadres and passengers in the carriage understand the history of the changes in the base area over the years, they are all sighing.

They are full of incomparable gratitude to the government of the base area, to the high-level leaders of the base area who have led them to this day, and especially to the commander Guan Fei, who has strongly advocated the implementation of this series of major measures.

They truly felt that under the leadership of the base areas and under the control of the People's Party in the past, there were two completely different living conditions, and they cherished the beautiful life in front of them all the more.
