The weather in Chahar is already less cold in April, and with the onset of spring, spring ploughing is about to begin.

There are many poems depicting spring ploughing in ancient and modern China and abroad. For example, Yao Nai's "Mountain Walk" is a busy and lively picture of spring ploughing: "Cuckoo Feifei advises early ploughing, and spring hoes pounce on the early sunshine." The mille-feuille stone tree passes the road, and the sound of water in the paddy fields all the way. Wei Yingwu said in "Guantianjia Poems": "The light rain is new, a thunder starts, how idle is the Tian family?" Cultivation begins here. Wang Wei said in "Staying in Zhengzhou": "The father of the field returns to the grass, and the village children graze in the rain." "Spring thunder, drizzle, new vegetation, village children rain and grazing, farmers sow seeds, but also sow hope for the year. Chen Zhisui's "Spring": "In March, the fields and ditches are muddy, and the machine cultivator sows green villages. The brook is said to be far away at dusk, and the egret is newly left on the ridge. (Zaijingtang Collection. Jiangnan Jingshi Poems)

To be honest, the land of Chahar is generally not good, and the scene of wind and grass and cattle and sheep more than 1,000 years ago has disappeared with the reproduction and inhabitation of human activities. However, the bad habit of indiscriminate logging has not changed, and in recent years, the Chahar government has issued a decree to strictly cut and deforest. Not only that, but every household should be planted with trees. At first, this decree was not understood by people, and some people were still secretly cutting down the few trees, but with the sound of several crisp gunshots in the suburbs of Zhangjiakou, the bloody fact made people realize a truth, this tree is not not to be cut down, but to exchange for life.

In fact, there are many people in Chahar who don't quite understand this decree of the governor of Su, including Xi Hanqian, didn't he just steal a few trees? As for being shot so badly?

But in later generations, Su Tong, who was accustomed to seeing the heavily polluted sky all day long and giving birth to deformed babies because of drinking contaminated water, had an almost pathological stubbornness about this, and he even slapped the table at the provincial people's livelihood meeting, and anyone who couldn't figure it out could hand him a resignation report.

We want our descendants to see the blue sky as well. Well, this sentence is a bit ahead of its time, in short, it is a sentence, if you don't change your thinking, you will change people. He always believed that the development of society should not come at the expense of destroying nature.

Well, the black gauze hat is still very attractive to most people, besides, you can't say that Chairman Su did something wrong, isn't it right that people support everyone to plant trees? As a result, under the strong promotion of the governor of the Soviet Union, the first environmental protection law in China was promulgated.

Jiang Laohan has been immigrating to Chahar from Dawangzhuang in Dongfeng County, Henan Province for more than a year, and his eldest son and second son stayed in Dawangzhuang when he came to Chahar.

Jiang Laohan and his wife came to Chahar with their four remaining sons, who belonged to a family under the Ninety-third Farm. Here, the family was allocated 120 acres of land per capita.

It was in this infertile land that Jiang Laohan worked hard with his wife and two fifteen or sixteen-year-old sons. In the eyes of Jiang Laohan, a person who has served the land all his life, this land also has feelings, and if you treat it well, it will repay you. Just half a year ago, the Chahar Axe distributed a dozen steel monsters to their farm, well, by the way, the farm called them tractors.

Jiang Laohan's third son is 17 years old this year, some time ago he was sent by the farm to Zhangjiakou to study for more than a month, and finally returned from his studies and became a tractor driver on the farm, his task is to drive the tractor to other farmers on the farm.

Originally, Jiang Laohan was not very happy, thinking that it would delay the farm work, but the third son always smiled and said that it could not be delayed. Yesterday, the third son drove the tractor of the farm to loosen the soil for his own land, Jiang Laohan, who has been pulling cattle to plough the land all his life, finally opened his eyes, his third son drove the tractor to turn around their field a few times, and the soil was loosened in less than a few hours on one hundred and twenty acres of land, this result made Jiang Laohan a little unacceptable, why is it so easy to farm now?

Su Tong knew very well that it was not easy to feed the tens of millions of people under his rule and the nearly 700,000 troops of Chahar with the barren land of Chahar, and he was also very depressed, how could the territory he occupied be some places where birds don't, the land was barren, and there was some desertification. Even in later generations, it belongs to those underdeveloped provinces, which is indeed a bit depressing.

Therefore, in addition to spending a large amount of real money to buy flour, wheat, and other grains from the United States, the chief of the Soviet Union also advocated rational fertilization, scientific farming, and the protection of the natural environment while tapping the potential of the land. But don't say it, when Chief Su brought these rotten theories to the meeting for discussion, he really suppressed a bunch of old scholars from the Civil Affairs Department.

After nearly a year of governance, Chahar's agriculture is now not a bumper crop, but it has made great progress compared to before.

It was approaching evening, and a long motorcade came from afar, and they stopped in the land that had begun to give birth to hope, and many people walked down.

They walked to the side of the land where Jiang Laohan had worked for a day, and the two leaders looked like a couple, about forty or fifty years old, the man at the head looked majestic, and the woman next to him was graceful and luxurious. Although Jiang Laohan has been a farmer all his life, he can also see that they are not ordinary people.

I saw the man in charge walk towards Jiang Laohan's family, who were packing up farm tools, and he asked: "Old man, hello, we just visited here, I want to ask, how much grain can you produce here in a year?" ”

As soon as Jiang Laohan heard his accent, he knew that he was not a local, but like the accent of the Zhejiang man who used to live next door to him, Jiang Laohan grinned, showed a few front teeth left, and smiled: "The guests are not like locals!" ”

"Yes, we're from out of town." The visitor said with a smile.

"This land was also planted by the old man this year, and the harvest is not easy to say, but according to the old man's experience over the years, there should be a harvest of about five or six hundred per mu, which is no problem."

"Oh!" The visitor nodded and asked, "Then how many acres of land has your family planted?" ”

Jiang Laohan grinned and said with some pride: "The old man's family of six has planted a total of 120 acres of land. ”

"What? One hundred and twenty acres? The people next to him were moved, and some people didn't believe it. asked: "Old man, it's not that we don't believe you, but you are only six people who can serve this more than 100 acres of land?" ”

"Old man, I didn't believe that I could get so much land, but then the political axe told us that they would help us find a way. Tractors were sent this morning, and you can see that so much land has been ploughed in half a day, and it is very good. Jiang Laohan showed a look of satisfaction.

"You use tractors to plow?" Everyone who came looked incredulous. Of course, they know what a tractor is, and they have already started mechanized operations with tractors in Europe and the United States, but they never expected that the rural areas of Chahar, which have always been remote and backward, will now also start to use tractors.

"Why, do you think the old man is lying to you, my third son is driving a tractor on this farm, and today he is the land he came to plow." Jiang Laohan was a little anxious when he saw that the person who came didn't believe his words, and pointed to the front and said, "Look, my third son is back with a tractor." ”

As Jiang Laohan pointed in the direction, a tractor spitting black smoke drove in front of him.

After a while, the tractor drove in front of everyone, and a sixteen-year-old boy jumped down from it, he looked at these people who had never seen it with some vigilance, and asked Jiang Laohan: "Dad, what's going on." ”

Jiang Laohan saw that his son was back, took his son's hand and said proudly to the visitor: "What's the matter, my old man is not wrong, my junior is driving a tractor, and today he is the one who has put our 100 acres of land in order." ”

The person who came smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, I believe in you." ”

After speaking, he took his wife's hand and walked slowly towards the way he came. In the setting sun, his steps are slow, and his shadow is long.

"Madam, it seems that this Su Tong is indeed a talent, this is a pity, how good it would be if he were my student"

"Darling!" Madame said in an aggravated tone: "You can't expect all the promising young people in the country to be your students, that's not realistic, as long as he is still under the orders of the central government!" Madame comforted gently.

"On orders? Hehe! The chairman smiled bitterly, I'm afraid he won't serve for too long.

"Otherwise, Darling, I think Jianming is a very emotional person, you see that Zhang Zizhong, didn't he pull him when he first came to Chahar? Now he is terrible, Jianming treats him as if he is his own brother, and he sends guns and cannons, can't you see his performance after the press conference that day? I have long said that I can only know about Jianming. Madame Chiang still advocated a policy of softness.

"I hope so, tomorrow I will give him the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, I hope he can receive this love from me." Chairman Jiang sighed softly.

This Su Tong, if only he could listen to someone from me, and this person doesn't seem to be really interested in China, and it doesn't seem to be a disguise. Is there really such a person in this world?

In the crowd at the back, they also gathered together in twos and threes.

"Duke De, do you think we can still talk to him about the good things we said before?"

"Jiansheng, I think Jianming is quite talented, and he is decisive in killing, he is a person who can achieve great things, we might as well cooperate with them more."

"Yes! This is long overdue. ”
