Xiaobin heard from his colleagues below that there was a lonely old man surnamed Sun in Shitougou, who was unwilling to go to a nursing home, so he wanted to send him some grain and oil. Everyone else was busy writing the year-end summary, and the road to Shitougou was too far to be repaired, so he had to drive the car to the bottom of the mountain to a farmer's house and ask them to help carry it. The farmer found a basket on his back, stood in the yard and saw Ma Changxin walking back on the road, so he stopped him and asked him to help, and he was still young and energetic on the way.

Xiaobin saw that Ma Changxin was about thirty-four or five years old, wearing a tweed coat and a suit inside, and his mental outlook looked like a person who had broken through the world. I don't know if I am willing to help, Chang Xin heard that he was visiting Uncle Sun, this is a favor, so he shared some of the burden.

Xiaobin hurriedly said thank you, and after walking for a while, he was tired and out of breath, so he leaned on the hillside to rest. Chang Xin saw him sven, unlike people who do manual work, they can't bear such a point. Anyway, it's a snowy day, walking and chatting, and the body is warm. Xiaobin asked him how the harvest was this year, and he said that the staple food was similar to previous years, that is, there was too much rain in autumn, and a lot of beans were rotten. At the beginning of this topic, he began to discuss today's policies as if he had opened a floodgate.

It is said that before the above, the common people were allowed to plant fire vine root (piercing dragon potato root), and then they would plant turmeric, and now they have implemented the return of farmland to forest. When the medicinal herbs were not planted, the price was very high, but as a result, everyone generally planted them, not to mention the price, and they rotted because of the weather, and many farmers lost money. Now the return of farmland to forest is said to be made up for eight years, who knows if it is made up for one year, and there will be no money in the next year, and the town has tossed the people to the point that it is not credible at all.

Xiaobin wants to explain that the replacement of cadres was more frequent before, and one cadre has one idea. However, this is a problem for cadres at all levels, and the argument is not convincing, so we will say that returning farmland to forests this time is one of the important policies of the state in implementing the strategy of developing the western region. We should implement a system of funds and grain subsidies for returning farmland to forests, and provide appropriate subsidies for grain, seedlings, afforestation, and cash (living expenses) to those who have returned farmland to forests for a certain period of time free of charge in accordance with the approved area of farmland to be returned to forests. Each mu of returned farmland will be subsidized with 100 kg of raw grain and 20 yuan in cash every year, and the subsidy for ecological forests will be at least 8 years, the subsidies for economic forests will be 5 years, and the subsidies for grass will be 2 years. 50 yuan per mu of farmland and barren mountains and wastelands suitable for forests subsidize seedlings and afforestation fees, and the tea, mulberry, sumac, and chestnut planted before are counted, and the remaining fertile land without returning farmland is cultivated freely.

He asked him how he understood it so clearly, and Xiaobin said that what he had read in the newspaper was that the large-scale development of the western region was in full swing, but it would take time for southern Shaanxi to change. He said that if he can really get the subsidy every year, he can keep some vegetable gardens and return all the other land to farmland, so that he can go out to dig coal with peace of mind and do not have to come back to help during the harvest season every year.

Xiaobin said that it is okay to dig coal, but it is necessary to pay attention to safety. He said that staying at home and relying on farming could not support his family, he had no culture and could only sell coolies, and the coal mine was not only dangerous, but also affected his health, but everyone was willing to exchange their lives for money, otherwise, life would be backward and people would laugh at him. Xiaobin said that there are also crops that grow into 10,000 households, but it is more hard, and the Qin capital of Quanliu Village is rated as typical every year.

He grinned, how could he compare to him. It is said that Qin Du didn't know what good luck he had, and found a good wife of a prosperous husband, and the foundation was the prosperous land specially left to him by Mr. Liu. Xiaobin said that it is a new era, I don't believe those, the mountains and roads in Qindu are far away, and going to a trip is really like going to the blue sky. He asked suspiciously, the story of Qin Sheng and Liu Sheng was known to the whole people, and asked him why he didn't know. Xiaobin had to say that he was from the county seat, and he worked in a department in the town, and he had only been here for more than two years, so he still didn't know a lot of things.

He immediately came to his senses and apologized for his previous words, Xiaobin said that it was originally the reason for the town's leadership team, and it was right for the people to complain. Seeing that Xiaobin was not angry and the road was still far away, he began to tell the legendary story of Qin Sheng and Liu Sheng with relish. The mountains trapped them, but these stories felt more exciting than what was programmed on TV. Xiaobin had heard Shengli talk about it before, but she still spoke selectively, but Chang Xin said it almost mythical, although she didn't believe it, she listened patiently and carefully. He hopes that in the future, there will be new stories to really fill people's brains, for example, every family has a building, and everyone has a mobile phone......

Walking to the bottom of the courtyard of the Ma family, Xiaobin felt a lot of pain in his shoulder, and rested for a while. Yunxia was clearing the snow on the edge of the yard, and saw birds flying everywhere in the woods, and estimated that there were people under the forest, so she went to see what was going on. In the past, every family had a dog to watch the door and report the news, but since the dog is no longer allowed, the bird in the tree in front of the door has become the messenger. When Yunxia saw Chang Xin, she called out to her uncle and asked them where they were going. He replied loudly that he was following the leader to go to Sun Gu's widow, and when Yunxia heard that the leader personally sent something to visit the old man, she immediately took out the basket and said that it was for them to share some of it, the snow road, the uphill is easy to walk, but the downhill is difficult.

Xiaobin was a little embarrassed when he saw a girl coming to help in a hurry, explaining that he could do it. Yunxia took a closer look, although her skin was a little dark, she was still very gentle, unlike rural people. Xiaobin asked her if she knew the old man, and Yunxia said that her family lived on the top of the mountain, and the people in Shitougou had to pass under the courtyard, so they all knew each other. Then, it can be speculated that he is not from this neighborhood, Xiaobin said that it is indeed not.

Chang Xin hurriedly explained that Xiaobin was a senior official sent by the county, and Xiaobin said that he was not an official, but an ordinary staff member who went to the countryside to study. Yunxia said that she had never heard of any high-ranking officials personally climbing the mountain to deliver things to the lonely and widowed elderly, and it was still icy and snowy. Xiaobin was a little embarrassed, saying that because the New Year is over, everyone is busy, but in fact, they are all concerned about the people, and the people are well fed and clothed so that they can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

"I know that you represent the party and the government. This policy is getting better and better every year, and the life of the people will also get better. Before, we didn't have electricity here, and when I did my homework, I didn't have a kerosene lamp, so I would write under the moonlight, or burn fir trees. Do you know that thing, like bacon, red and bright, and glows a lot when it burns? Xiaobin said that he didn't know, Yunxia walked in front, he walked in the middle, and carefully moved down.

"Then why don't you write during the day?" These hard lives in the countryside are full of novelty and fantasy for Xiaobin. My father has been transferred to Ankang, and he is reluctant to ask him to come, but he also approves of it. Seung-ri left for a reason, and he didn't want her to be disappointed when she came back one day, because only her hometown was her roots.

"When I come back from school, I have to hunt pigweed and do housework." Yunxia remembered that in the days of the barrage, her mother was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, and she had to help with these chores if she could. Xiaobin is happy for such a hard-working girl, no matter where she is, as long as she has an upward and optimistic heart, life will always be full of sunshine.
