When the minibus stopped again, there was a green carpet of wheat fields in front of you, and as usual, a group of people were waiting for you.

"Hello Uncle Governor! Welcome Uncle Governor! ”

As soon as Qi Tianxiang stepped out of the car, before he could stand firmly, he heard the shouts of the same voice, and called Qi Tianxiang for a while, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but smile happily, and beckoned a few young people to come to his side.

Seeing a few young people walking in front of him happily, Qi Tianxiang smiled and shook hands with them one by one, turned around and said to Xu Fang, who got out of the car later, with a smile: "I heard what they called me just now!" These six are my nieces and nieces. ”

Xu Fang seemed to be still immersed in the beautiful scenery of the Qinghe Reservoir, in a good mood, and when he heard what Qi Tianxiang said with a smile, he naturally didn't believe it, but he still shook hands with Liu Peng gently, and said slowly: "Introduce yourself one by one, what are your names!" ”

"Liu Peng, a master's student in the Department of Finance of Heyang University, is now the assistant to the village chief of Guocun Village, Heyang County." Liu Peng shook hands tightly with Xu Fang generously, and introduced himself loudly.

"Liang Tingting, a master's student in the Department of Economics and Management of the University of Finance and Economics, is now a financial assistant in Qinghe Village." Liang Tingting also shook hands with Xu Fang, and reported her home in a clever manner.

Then Mao Xiaoman, Li Wei, Wang Fei, and Xu Dongliang all shook hands with Xu Fang in turn, clearly reporting their names, colleges and universities, as well as their current villages and positions.

"I'll just say that Governor Qi doesn't have so many nephews and nieces! This kind of blessing is not something that everyone can enjoy. Xu Fang has known the origin and identity of the six young people in front of him since Liu Peng reported his home, in addition to their age, temperament and attitude, all of which make them fundamentally different from real farmers, "I know that you are the first batch of selected village officials, and you are master's village officials, you have been down for nearly a year, and I have been curious about what you are like now, but you have not had a chance to meet in the two villages where you are suspended, it turns out that your Secretary Feng hid you here." ”

"I didn't hide it! It's that the spring drought has been severe recently, and there is no way to get them together for emergency. Feng Juncai squeezed over from behind the crowd, and said to Xu Fang with a smile: "Besides, such a short wheat field has just returned to green, how can you hide these big girls and young men!" ”

Feng Juncai's words subtly diverted his attention, directing Xu Fang's eyes to the green wheat fields on the side of the road.

This is exactly what Xu Fang is concerned about, he saw the green carpet-like thriving wheat field in the car, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and he wanted to get close to the wheat field as soon as he got off the car, after all, he was an expert and official who had been engaged in agriculture for many years, and he still had a sense of closeness from the heart to the land and crops, and he had a natural concern.

"Secretary Feng is very good at talking, especially speaking according to his actual needs, which is very remarkable." Xu Fang glanced at Feng Juncai meaningfully, then looked at the several college students in front of him, and asked gently: "It's better to meet by chance than to meet by chance, since we met in the wheat field, it is fate, which of you will introduce us to the growth of wheat!" ”

Xu Fang's words stopped several young people for a while, and they glanced at each other, not knowing how to introduce to the provincial leaders and who would introduce them. After a short silence, Liu Peng reacted faster, looked at Xiang Youzhi who was standing behind the crowd, and said to Xu Fang with a smile: "For agricultural production, we are all primary school students, and we are not qualified to explain to the leaders at all, so let's ask our teachers to introduce them to the director and the leaders!" ”

Xu Fang was very appreciative of Liu Peng's wit, so he followed Liu Peng's gaze, turned his head to look at Xiang Youzhi, and beckoned to him: "Since you are a teacher, then don't hide behind, come and tell us all!" ”

Xiang Youzhi saw that Xu Fang was about to point to himself, and immediately felt a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down, walked over from behind the crowd, walked to Xu Fang and stood still, looked at Xu Fang and said with a smile: "Don't listen to these little young people, where can I become their teacher, their real teacher is Secretary Feng, every progress they have made in the past six months is the result of Secretary Feng's attention and support." ”

"Don't put gold on my face, I don't recognize anything." Feng Juncai hurriedly took over the words, and said to Xiang Youzhi with a smile: "Why don't they let me introduce them to the leaders, because I don't understand, and you are the real agricultural expert and their teacher, so don't shirk." ”

"The two of you should not be humble to each other, what Comrade Xu Fang needs to understand is the growth of field crops, which is a universal and guiding thing, and whoever can explain it will speak." Qi Tianxiang looked at Feng Juncai and Xiang Youzhi, knowing that both of them had their own intentions, and finally locked his eyes on Xiang Youzhi's face, and gently admonished: "Let's talk to the director, you can explain it clearly." But I can warn you, Governor Xu is a real agricultural expert, and it is not so easy to fool you. ”

Qi Tianxiang's words seemed to be a joke and a reminder, and he lost no time in holding Xu Fang, which immediately attracted everyone's echoed laughter, which also made the atmosphere more relaxed.

"I tried my best to report everything I knew to Governor Xu in detail, and asked Governor Qi and Governor Xu to correct what I said was wrong." Xiang Youzhi looked at Qi Tianxiang with a little excitement, and then said to Xu Fang seriously: "What you see now is the main grain growing area in Heyang County, which is a typical grain production area with two crops a year. One season of summer wheat and one season of autumn corn are also the main sources of income for farmers. ”

"These contiguous farmlands belong to three natural villages, with nearly 20,000 mu, and they were all distributed to each family in the past, and the crops planted are basically the same, but due to different varieties and management, the output and income also vary greatly." Xiang Youzhi took the leaders to the edge of the field, pointed to the crops in the field and introduced, "After several years of work, especially to explain to farmers the advantages of continuous planting, especially the benefits of soil fertilizer and farmland management, gradually the cultivated land has been collected, and a planting cooperative under the management of agricultural cooperatives has been established to promote excellent varieties and mechanized planting models, and good results have been achieved." ”

Xiang Youzhi spoke, stepped down to the wheat field, and stretched out his hand to help Qi Tianxiang and Xu Fang slowly down, and after they stood firm, they bent down and pulled out a few wheat seedlings, handed them to Qi Tianxiang and Xu Fang respectively, and said slowly: "This is the pioneer No. 3 wheat that we promote planting this year, the seeds are selected and cultivated by the provincial agricultural science, after three years of trial planting and small-scale promotion, the yield and pollination rate are very good, compared with the previous pioneer No. 1 and No. 2 varieties, in terms of resistance to pests and diseases and lodging, considerable progress has been made. ”

"This year is the first year of large-scale promotion, the Provincial Institute of Agricultural Sciences chose to promote in our place, giving a lot of preferential conditions, and the experts of the Provincial and Municipal Institute of Agricultural Sciences are also very concerned about the promotion effect, and have given specific guidance and help in many aspects." Speaking of agricultural science and technology, Xiang Youzhi's interest rose, and his tone was much smoother, and he took the wheat seedlings and said to the two provincial leaders: "This variety has high yield, stable pollination, good taste, strong resistance to diseases and pests, and simple field management, which are obvious advantages." However, there are still shortcomings, that is, the drought tolerance is weak, and sufficient water and fertilizer are needed. ”

"This defect is reflected in the climatic conditions of last winter and this spring, continuous winter drought, so that the wheat field has become a serious problem in winter, the organization of watering a year ago, a good role in the winter seedling protection, and through watering, but also indirectly a water and fertilizer supplement." Xiang Youzhi slowly continued: "After the Spring Festival, the drought still has no signs of easing, the county did not wait for the day, but carried out the irrigation of the green water early, Secretary Feng specially dispatched agricultural science and technology personnel, as well as a few college students, went deep into the field to guide drought resistance and field management, coupled with the efforts of the cooperative, successfully completed the early management of spring. Now it seems that the wheat seedlings after the return to green are growing very well, and if there are no major natural disasters in the later period, this year's wheat harvest should be guaranteed. ”

"What you said is right, now it seems that your early efforts have had a good effect." Xu Fang looked at Xiang Youzhi with appreciation, then faced Qi Tianxiang, and introduced expertly: "Governor Qi, you see, the color of this wheat seedling and the stretch of the leaves show the growth ability of the crop itself, which is very vigorous, and from the perspective of the whole wheat field, the growth is relatively balanced, which is really good." ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Xu Fang's introduction and knew that the praise that came out of his mouth was not just polite, but based on the understanding of an agricultural expert, so he smiled slightly and said: "To have your affirmation and good statement shows that this situation is still relatively optimistic." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, as if he remembered something, looked at Xiang Youzhi and asked: "You just mentioned this Pioneer No. 3, this year is the first year of large-scale promotion, that is, in addition to Heyang County, the sowing area of the province is still very large, so what is the state now, do you know some specific situations?" ”

"I don't know very well about the details, but I heard Lao Li of the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute say that the province's winter sowing area should be about 300,000 mu, basically Hezhong, Hexi, Shanyin and other inland areas are planted." Xiang Youzhi said with a little worry: "Compared with our cooperative farming model here, the situation in several other places is not very optimistic, the planting management of a household, it is easy to ignore the watering of winter seedling water, and the way of flood irrigation is not good to control the proportion of water and fertilizer, more water may freeze to death seedlings, but also easy to cause soil erosion, moisture fertilizer can not be applied in time, may also cause crops to return to green and jointing fertility is insufficient, which will affect the yield." ”

Xu Fang listened carefully to Xiang Youzhi's narration, his brows gradually locked, his face became grim, as if he had thought of a possible problem, and suddenly looked at Xiang Youzhi and said: "The way must be found, you follow us down, and think of a way while walking." ”

Looking at Xiang Youzhi's stunned expression, Xu Fang may have felt that his proposal was a little abrupt, so he turned his face to look at Qi Tianxiang and explained: "In the field management during this period, Director Xiao Xiang has found some experience, I think it is better to let him follow us around, and the problems that arise can also be analyzed and guided, what do you think?" ”

"So what else, just let him follow, who made him an agricultural expert?" Qi Tianxiang agreed to Xu Fang's suggestion with a smile, secretly happy in his heart, happy that his initial plan was successfully implemented, but looking at Xiang Youzhi's eyes was very serious, "The old expert has recognized you as a young expert, you have to cheer up and don't let Governor Xu down." ”

Looking at Xiang Youzhi nodding heavily, and looking grateful, Qi Tianxiang was in a very comfortable mood, looking at the green carpet-like wheat seedlings in front of him, and felt a lot more relaxed.
