45. Forcibly driving
The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Xiaoshi was going back to the county seat.
Zhou Hang stayed directly, familiarized himself with the working environment, and considered how to carry out his work in the future.
Brother Xiaoma's house is in Nanjin Village, so he doesn't want to go home and listen to the old man's chatter, it is better to live comfortably in the mountains.
Jiang Mei said to everyone, "I will go to the provincial agricultural university today to recruit agricultural engineers." Everyone took a two-day break to familiarize themselves with the working environment. ”
Everyone said: "Boss, don't worry, we'll find something by ourselves!" ”
Jiang Mei: "? ”
"Oh, don't get me wrong, it's everyone who will do it themselves."
So, Jiang Mei took a week-hour ride to the county seat.
Before leaving, Zhou Hang stopped Zhou Xiaoshi's car with a black face: "Don't drive!" ”
Zhou Xiaoshi: "Why? I'm off-track! ”
Zhou Hang was impatient: "With your skills, you are not allowed to drive!" ”
Zhou Xiaoshi: "I got my driver's license last week, and the state allows me to drive. I drove it when I came. ”
Zhou Hang: "That's because I'm on the co-pilot, guiding you." ”
Zhou Xiaoshi: "Xiao Hanghang, you won't still be angry about last night's incident, be careful~"
Zhou Hang: "And the face to mention last night!" Did you know that you tossed all night? ”
Is this driving? I'm just talking about driving~
Zhou Xiaoshi: "I didn't mean to, I wasn't drunk." Hey, it's not the first time we've done this kind of thing, do you want to react so much? ”
Zhou Hang patted the front of the car, and his voice was like thunder: "You also know that you are drunk?" You can't drive while drunk! Get down! ”
Zhou Xiaoshi wilted, yes, you really can't drive after drinking.
Jiang Mei: "I'll open it, don't worry, I didn't drink yesterday." ”
Zhou Hang: "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry for you, send Zhou Xiaoshi home." He's just a nerd who doesn't know how to live in common sense. ”
Zhou Xiaoshi: "Zhou Hang, it's okay, I'm your brother, don't be big or small." Good work! ”
Jiang every time he and Zhou Xiaoshi change positions, every time Jiang drives, Zhou Xiaoshi has to ~
Before leaving the village, Jiang Mei went to Aunt Wu's house first.
Aunt Wu's home is very recognizable, and other people's houses grow vegetables in the open space at the door, only Aunt Wu's house grows flowers.
From afar, I saw neat fences, pink moons, red peonies in full bloom, and flowers in the small courtyard of the farmhouse.
Every time Jiang stops, gets out of the car, knocks on the door,
"Is Aunt Wu at home?"
"Who!"
With a rude voice, the door was opened, and a peasant uncle looked at Jiang Mei suspiciously, "You're not from Baoshan?" What's the matter? ”
Jiang Mei: "Uncle Li, I'm looking for Aunt Wu." ”
Li Shishi said rudely: "What's the matter? ”
Jiang Mei remembered the scene when Uncle Li chased and beat Li Wuyan, but Li Wuyan ran away from home to go to school, Jiang Mei refused to say the reason, "I have something to do with Aunt Wu, is Aunt Wu at home?" ”
Li Shishi looked at Jiang Mei suspiciously, and rudely refused: "No, no, you go!" ”
At this time, I heard a soft footstep in the courtyard, and a simple but elegant figure walked out.
Wu Mingge: "Lao Li, who?" ”
Li Shishi muffled: "No one." ”
Wu Mingge saw Jiang Mei, smiled apologetically, and said, "Little Jiang, hello." Lao Li, the meal is ready, you go and serve it. ”
Li Shishi turned his head back to the kitchen.
Wu Mingge smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, don't mind, Lao Li is a little stubborn." ”
Jiang Mei shook his head: "It's okay, Aunt Wu." I'm going to the Provincial Agricultural University today, and I'll send the notebook you asked me to bring to Student Li, do you still need me to bring her anything? ”
Speaking of her daughter, Wu Mingge's face showed a gentle smile, she thought about it, walked to the garden in front of the door, cut off the largest and most beautiful moon flower, handed it to Jiang Mei, and said, "The flower is blooming, it is very beautiful, show it to the swallows." ”
Every time Jiang takes over the flower, the beautiful flowers come into view, the fragrant fragrance of the flowers comes to the nose, just a flower, Jiang every time he feels the vitality and vitality, and the mood becomes happy.
Zhou Xiaoshi asked suspiciously: "Auntie, will you send a flower from afar?" Don't want to grab something to eat? ”
Wu Mingge smiled gently: "Spring is here, the most beautiful thing in the house is flowers, so bring the swallows to see the beautiful flowers." ”
Zhou Xiaoshi: "This ......?" ”
Jiang Mei: "Aunt Wu, don't worry, I will definitely send flowers." ”
Wu Mingge: "Pay attention to safety on the road, have a good journey." ”
Jiang Mei and Zhou Xiaoshi said goodbye to Wu Mingge and continued on the road.
Zhou Xiaoshi was still muttering, "I don't understand." Do you really want to send flowers thousands of miles? Is it worth it? ”
Jiang Mei replied: "Sometimes, spiritual pleasure is more satisfying than material abundance. ”
Jiang sent Zhou Xiaoshi downstairs to the family courtyard of the cotton mill, and then took the bus to the train station.
Jiang Mei took the water from the bottle of mineral water and inserted the moon flowers in it.
On this day, in the crowded train station, there was a sunny and handsome big boy, holding a delicate moon flower in his hand, with a handsome smile on his face.
At the ticket window, the conductor Xiao Nan was working programmatically, "Where to go?" ”
"A high-speed rail ticket to the provincial capital."
Xiao Nan lowered his head to issue a ticket, the fragrance of flowers wafted over, Xiao Nan looked up, and saw the handsome little brother holding a flower in his hand,
Xiao Nan's mood suddenly relaxed, "Please take your ticket." The flowers are beautiful~"
"Thank you~"
……
The queue at the ticket gate was crowded, everyone was irritable, and the smell of flowers wafted out, and the irritable people smiled......
On the moving train, a mineral water bottle with a beautiful moon flower is planted and placed next to the window, which is a green wheat field that slowly passes by......
When I arrived in the provincial capital and got out of the high-speed rail station, Jiang took a taxi to Agricultural University.
The taxi driver is a talkative old man, and he quipped: "Young man, you are going to see your girlfriend at the Agricultural University, right?" ”
Jiang Mei explained: "No. ”
"That's what goes to confess, young people are romantic."
A song floated over the radio:
"Send me a rose,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Even if you're not that handsome, I'm deeply in love with you.
You are like a lark,
Fall in my garden,
Sing your beautiful song and let me always protect you. ”
When he arrived at the gate of Nongda, every time Jiang paid to get out of the car, the enthusiastic driver's eldest brother stuck his head out of the window and said loudly: "Young man, come on, the confession is successful!"
The shout of the driver's eldest brother attracted the students who came and went at the school gate to look at Jiang Mei, and when they saw the flowers in Jiang Yi's hand, everyone smiled.
"Dude, come on!" There are boys who cheer Jiang every way.
"Young man, come on, I'll buy flowers for my daughter-in-law too!" The driver's eldest brother was enthusiastic.
Jiang Mei smiled helplessly, waved his hand to everyone, and walked into the campus.
……
Jiang Mei and Dean Ge talked for two hours, and Dean Ge's opinion was the same as that of the experts of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, that modern agriculture is the development of agricultural specialization, and that specialized and intensive agricultural production is more in line with the requirements of efficient commercial and social development, and is more beneficial to the profitability of agricultural enterprises.
Jiang expressed his philosophy and asked if there was a suitable agricultural engineer to recommend.
Dean Ge replied: "At present, the research projects of the institute are mainly focused on the optimization of a single product and the improvement of unit output. To be honest, the diversified agricultural model has been eliminated, and it is difficult to make a profit by operating a business with a diversified agricultural model. Xiao Jiang, you were recommended by the teacher, and I have something to say, if you start a farm with your ideas, you will definitely lose money, so you should think about it again. ”
Jiang Mei: "Thank you, Dean Ge."
Let me give you some digressions. I've been dreaming about it since I was a kid. In my dream, there was a beautiful mountain with abundant plants and various animals, and a group of people lived there.
In the spring, the plants sprout, the snow melts, the animals wake up from hibernation, first the soil is lively, all kinds of insects, earthworms begin to move, they eat, excrete, reproduce in the soil, so that the soil is full of vitality, plants get nutrients from the soil, sprouts, draw new branches, migratory birds fly back from the south, chirping birdsong fills the mountains and forests, male birds spread their wings and fly, showing their male posture, female birds carefully choose their favorite mate. The animals also wake up from hibernation, during the day, lambs, fawns, and roe deer run through the woods, and at night, wolves, foxes, and wild dogs begin to hunt in the dark...... People began to sow seeds on the land, carefully cultivated, fertilized, and one night of spring rain, the next day a small green sprout appeared in the field......
In the summer, the crops grew strong. The bugs are also more active, they climb up the leaves of the crops, gnaw out little holes, don't worry, our male bird is coming. The males found their beloved females, they built new nests between the branches, the females laid eggs, and were concentrating on hatching, no, the young and strong bird fathers were going to work hard, they saw the fat insects on the leaves of the crops in the air, swooped down with lightning speed, and the sharp beaks chattered the insects, and flew back to the sky like a sharp arrow, and went home with the booty~ The woman was pregnant and needed nutrition, so her husband and the other men carried hunting tools on their backs and made an appointment to hunt together. When the men go out, the cultivation is left to the women, who take care of the weeds and catch the insects. Seeing the docile ewe in the woods, and also had a big belly, the woman touched her belly and handed out the weeds in her hand, but the ewe did not dare to eat it, but retreated. As the hot summer passed day by day, the birds broke out of their shells, and the ewes, although they still did not eat the grass in the hands of the women, did not turn around and ran away. The men returned, and they brought back a wild boar, but the woman's husband never returned......
In autumn, the bird is already very proficient in flying, and it flies freely in the sky. When the crops were ripe, the heavy ears of grain were bent over, and the full fruit was buried in the soil, but the voles moved faster, and before the woman could come to harvest, the ears of grain had been bitten off by the voles, and the peanuts had been removed by the voles. The woman was so angry that she cried and picked up a stick to dig a mouse hole, but her stomach was already very big, and she really had no strength, so she had to give up after digging a few times, and sat on the edge of the field and scolded the cunning of the vole. In the woods, a young sheep looked at the woman timidly, but did not see the figure of the ewe, and the woman was silent. On this day, she took a young sheep home. Little birds, follow the flock, and fly to the far south......
In winter, snowflakes fall, and the mountains are briefly dormant. This year's harvest was plagued by voles. The woman picked up a lot of nuts in the autumn and stored them, and also picked wild fruits to dry, some fruits were sweet, some fruits were sour, and the woman picked the fruits but they were notoriously sweet, because she had a secret, and when she picked the fruits last year, the year before and the year before last, she made a mark under the tree of sweet fruits, and naturally knew which tree had sweet fruits. There was a heavy snowfall, the whole mountain seemed to be asleep, and by the warm fire in the house, the woman was clenching her teeth in pain, she didn't shout, she wanted to keep her strength to give birth to the child, but it hurt so much, the lamb came to her side, and the woman leaned on the lamb's warm body and exerted all her strength......
The next year, in the spring, the snow melted, the weather recovered, the bugs awoke, the migratory birds flew back from the south, and lambs, fawns, silly roe deer, wolves, foxes, and wild dogs began to move. The woman carries the baby on her back and sows the seeds of the new year, and this year's crops will surely grow well, this is the fullest seed that has been sifted, and she endures hunger in the coldest winter to save it for the hope of the new year. And voles, if you dare to come again this year, you will be beautiful! The woman looked at the snake hole in the field and thought. In the woods, there were sturdy male sheep coveting our beautiful little ewe, and the little ewe proudly followed the mistress home. That evening, the mistress heard a noise in the sheepfold, and it seemed that the house would soon have more lambs. Outside the window, there are men singing love songs, and women think, not only the lamb, but also a child......"
Jiang Mei said: "This is what I understand as agriculture, not only commercial, measured by money, not only for human beings, but shared by plants and animals, and I hope that my farm is such a farm full of vitality." ”
Dean Ge was very touched: "Xiao Jiang, I understand, I admire your persistence." You can go to our scientific research base to have a look, maybe there is a person who meets your requirements. ”
