Chapter 142: I Am an Educated Youth (15)
She went to a farm more than 300 kilometers away from Hongxing Village, which is separated by a mountain with a different climate, where there is drought and little rain, the winter is dry and cold, and the soil is mostly saline-alkali.
It takes people to work hard to turn the ground over and over again, at least 40 centimeters, and ordinary ox plows are far from meeting the standard, relying on people to turn the ground by hand.
Because it takes a long time to treat saline-alkali land, the project is huge, and only salt-tolerant wolfberries are now planted in the field, and the food to eat has to be transported from other places.
If you build a water conservancy project and soak the saline-alkali ground for a period of time, the salt content of the soil will be reduced.
There are a lot of decentralised experts on the farm, and I heard that the river is being dug and that maybe in five years the soil improvement will have good results.
But now, the farm site is still barren and the conditions are difficult, and it is not a suitable place to live.
There is no fixed bus route from the town to the farm, and every time you enter and exit, you need to send a car to pick you up, otherwise it is not a trivial task to walk more than 100 kilometers alone.
This time, she came with a mission, and the province sent a special car, and she took the materials for Li Xingping's rehabilitation, and bumped around in the car for nearly three hours before approaching the farm.
From a distance, the farm is surrounded by red walls and barbed wire, there are no buildings that are too tall, and it is almost summer, and the surrounding trees are still bare, and the atmosphere is cold.
She held the package, which contained a large men's padded jacket and some food.
Before she arrived, she asked people who knew the place well about her surroundings. She was not short of money now, so she packed a half-person-tall package, thinking that with so many apprenticeships, Professor Li would always have a good impression of him.
The car was stopped when it approached the gate, Zhou Xiyue and the staff who came with him got out of the car with their things, showed their documents to the guard, and the guard opened the gate with the key.
She and her staff stood at the door and waited, and the guards said that the terrain of the farm was complicated and that someone needed to lead them there.
The weather was cold, the wind was a little strong, and the ears were hurting.
Zhou Xiyue put the package in front of her to block the wind, and squinted her eyes to see a team of people with various tools walking in the distance, dusty and ragged.
Zhou Xiyue immediately stood up straight, thinking to herself that she didn't know if there was Professor Li here.
After chatting with the guard, the guard ignored him, saying that there was no one she was looking for.
Zhou Xiyue hung her head in disappointment.
The group entered through the small door, each wearing a dogskin hat with ear protection, and no one spoke, and they did not squint, looking bored.
Are you not curious and envious when you see someone visiting?
She withdrew her gaze and stared straight at the person as rude.
It was cold, and she was stamping her feet on the ground, when suddenly someone ran towards her.
"Zhou Xiyue? Is it Zhou Xiyue? Do you have anything to eat? ”
Zhou Xiyue looked up and saw that it was a somewhat familiar woman, and asked suspiciously, "Have we met?" ”
"I'm Chang Lianping! Don't talk about that, do you have something to eat? I'm starving, hurry! ”
Zhou Xiyue brought a lot of food in her package, and it was inconvenient to untie it now.
She said, "I didn't bring anything to you. ”
How can there be a halfway way to open a gift to someone and share it with others.
took out a white-flour steamed bun from his pocket and handed it over: "Only this." ”
Chang Lianping snatched it back into the team, and the cadre-like people behind her scolded in a rough voice: "I just ate three hours ago, are you a starving ghost reincarnated, you want someone else's food halfway, or white bread, do you still want to be shameless?" ”
The man scolded, Chang Lianping didn't raise her head and stuffed something into her mouth to eat, it was really stuffed, as if she was afraid that the steamed bun would be taken away in the next second.
The people around walked silently as if they hadn't heard, and Chang Lianping didn't refute while eating, and strode with the team.
Zhou Xiyue looked at it, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she didn't know what torture these people had suffered, and she was not angry at all.
Chang Lianping has also changed a lot.
After waiting for half an hour, the staff who came to pick them up was finally late.
Hearing their purpose, the farm staff sighed and regretted: "Someone can finally get out of here." ”
After taking them to the reception room, the farm staff went to call someone.
Ten minutes later, Li Xingping ran over excitedly.
"Am I really rehabilitated?"
The man had gray hair, thin cheeks, and a torn cotton jacket with light in his eyes.
Zhou Xiyue immediately handed over the materials, Li Xingping opened the file bag, pinched a few pieces of paper with trembling hands, and looked at them carefully one by one.
After reading it, I wanted to cry, but I held back my tears and smiled on my face: "It's good, it's good." ”
"Professor Li, are you hungry?" Zhou Xiyue wanted to reminisce about the past, and Professor Li was about to cry, so she asked.
Li Xingping touched his stomach and said, "It's not time to start the meal yet." ”
"Wait a minute." Zhou Xiyue opened the big package and took things out one by one.
New cotton jackets, gloves, new cotton pants, new scarves, ear warmers, roast chicken, big white steamed buns, braised pork, dried fish, white wine, peanuts and many other delicious food.
Li Xingping rubbed his hands and his eyes lit up, and he said embarrassedly: "This is all for me?" ”
"It's all for you." Zhou Xiyue smiled and said, "Since you are hungry, eat quickly." ”
Li Xingping stretched out his hand to take the steamed bun, thought of something and retracted his hand, and asked curtly: "Little girl, young man, who are you?" ”
People took rehabilitation materials and brought food and clothing, but he was so excited that he didn't even ask.
Rude, it's rude.
The staff of the province hurriedly introduced: "This is an advanced individual in our province, an agricultural pacesetter." The one who was received by the chairman had just returned from the capital. ”
When Li Xingping heard this, he was in awe, stood up and wiped his hand on his clothes, stretched out his hand and said: "The little comrade is really young and promising, and he is amazing. ”
Zhou Xiyue hurriedly stood up and held Professor Li's hand with both hands and said, "Don't dare, Professor Li, I can get these honors, it's all your credit, I'm just lucky." ”
"What do you say?"
"Do you remember when you wrote a book about scientific farming? I was an educated youth in the countryside, and I happened to read that book, so I opened a trial planting in the yard, and later tried planting in the village with the support of the villagers. As a result, the yield of wheat per mu increased by 300 catties, doubling.
The province knew about it and gave me a lot of honors. I thought that people should never forget their books, so I took the book you wrote to the capital to meet the lord **** and praised you for the good book. After I came back, I went to the province and said that I would learn more advanced experience from you as a teacher. When the province heard that the chairman had praised your book, it distributed the materials. ”
When Li Xingping heard this, he was really full of emotion.
Who would have thought that he would end up in this fate, not his relatives who saved him, nor his classmates and apprentices who saved him, but a little girl who had no relationship with him saved him.
He looked at Zhou Xiyue solemnly and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, you are my great benefactor. ”
"You saved yourself, and without that book, everything would be unknown." Zhou Xiyue said.
"No, without you, I wouldn't have been able to save myself even if I wrote a thousand books. Don't say it, my book has been written for more than 20 years, and no one has paid attention to it, and even if it does, no one has thought of planting experimental fields.
You are not only smart, but also bold and careful, and after getting the honor you deserve, you still think about me who can't be beaten by eight poles. It must be very difficult to get the book to the chairman, and it will be even more troublesome if he can find me and rescue me. It's hard for you, it's hard for you......"
Professor Li held her hand tightly, tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't say anything more with emotion.
"Professor Li, sit down first, to tell you the truth, I have selfish intentions to save you, I want to worship you as a teacher and study more ways to increase grain production."
