Chapter 12 The Road to Prosperity
Zhang Guangming wanted to nourish aquatic animals with the water from the well, but he didn't expect his cousin to shake his head.
His cousin said to him in detail: "For the aquaculture industry, water quality is the key.
In general, the oxygen content of river water is higher than that of well water. ”
Zhang Guangming said with an embarrassed expression: But the river water is very scarce, and last time I spent a lot of effort to ask the head of the river to open the gate and release such a pond of water. Then I'll wait for the next pond to rain in the summer, wouldn't that save trouble?
Zhang Guangming didn't expect his cousin to shake his head again and say: What about the rainy days in summer? Due to the hot and humid weather, there will be a lack of oxygen at the bottom of the pond, and the rainwater contains sulfites, which can cause fish to turn over the pit, that is, aquatic animals will die due to lack of oxygen.
When my cousin left, he said, "The next time I come here, I will teach you how to use different management methods in different seasons."
Zhang Guangming suddenly asked on a whim, "If you let the villagers raise fish, shrimp, soft-shelled turtles and other aquatic animals in their own large tanks, do you like it?" ”
Yin Xiaoliu said: Medium, you have to pay attention to a few problems, let the sun shine directly, let the water mix, and let the ......
Zhang Guangming looked at his cousin with blazing eyes, and listened very carefully to every professional technology of aquaculture animals that his cousin said, and he firmly remembered them one by one.
Before leaving, Yin Xiaoliu confessed: The masses in your village, if you want to buy seedlings, go to my village.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Zhang Guangming looked at this warm-hearted cousin and felt that this cousin was really a good person!
He admires his cousin very much, and thinks that he is a bold person, a person who dares to innovate, and a person who is worth learning from.
Then Zhang Guangming was a little apprehensive in his heart: Is it really okay to do what his cousin said?
However, it takes a break in feeding to observe the effect before we can know the result......
Zhang Guangming didn't stop, and then he had to do something beneficial to the villagers.
He thought: In this special period, I want to use a reason, obviously to make the environment beautiful, but in fact, to increase the economic income of the villagers.
He wanted to plant flowers and fruit trees on both sides of each road, so that he could watch the flowers and enjoy the scenery, and second, he could sell fruits to make money.
But the village doesn't have the money to buy so many seeds, so what can we do?
Without hesitation, he took out his passbook, mounted his donkey, and walked out of the village.
He sang a passage of Yang Zhirong in "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" all the way: through the forest sea, across the snowfield, and angry Xiaohan...... Just like the characters in the opera, they are full of passion and are in a good mood.
While singing, he ran to the forest farm in the county seat.
When he came to the forest farm and explained his intention to Zhao Xiaopao, the leader of the forest farm, it was not so smooth.
Leader Zhao said with a serious expression: "The amount of these seeds that you want to buy in one village has exceeded the amount that you want to buy in one commune. In this situation, do you dare to plant a lot of flowers and trees? You're bold, aren't you? You dare to buy seeds, but I dare not sell them to you. ”
However, Zhang Guangming is a person who will not give up until he completes his task.
He stubbornly grinded down the leader of Zhao for a long time, and Lao Zhao reluctantly agreed to sell him seeds.
With a happy face on his face, he held these seeds of different sizes, colors, and shapes, and smiled happily.
Before leaving, Leader Zhao repeatedly explained, "If someone asks one day, where did you buy these seeds?" You must not say that I Zhao Xiaopao sold it to you, you know? ”
Zhang Guangming had a surprised expression on his face and nodded in agreement.
Lao Zhao emphasized again uneasily, "You must remember what I told you."
Zhang Guangming nodded solemnly, and Lao Zhao was a little relieved to let him take away the seeds of flowers and trees with ornamental value.
On the way back from riding a donkey, Zhang Guangming wondered all the way: "What's the matter now?" Is there anything wrong with planting flowers and trees to beautify the environment? He was puzzled.
He sat on the donkey's back, stepped on the ground, stepped on the ground, and returned home, tied the donkey in the circle, took the seed in his left hand, carried the hoe on his left shoulder, and carried the flat burden on his right shoulder, and the iron hooks at both ends of the flat shoulder, hooked two buckets, went to the well, picked up two buckets of water, and walked to the experimental base of the brigade.
Zhang Guangming first used a hoe to dig a small soil pit, then poured some water, waited for the water to seep down, then pinched a few seeds and put them into the small soil pit, and finally covered with a thin layer of soil.
He had been busy for a whole day before he finished planting the seeds of various flowers and trees.
Under the careful care of Zhang Zhishu, these seeds gradually swelled and germinated day by day under the soil.
The sprouting seeds seemed to be like dolls about to be born, and gradually, they pushed the soil on their bodies with their heads, and finally opened them.
They poked their heads out as if to exclaim, "Wow! The outside world is so vast! It's huge! It seems that they have a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, and swear loudly to the crops around them: "The little buds are as long as they can, and they are proud to be vigorous!" ”
When they are thirsty, Zhang Guangming feeds them water to drink, and when they are hungry, they are fed food (manure).
Within a few days, they grew small tender hands and learned to wave, wave, and shake their heads to Zhang Guangming...... Gradually, they grew tall, with a thick waist, a burly body, and strong arms.
They also learn to embrace nature.
One by one with immature smiling faces, as if whispering to Zhang Zhishu: "We have learned to stretch our arms, bend over, kick and kick our legs to learn to do exercises, we can sing and dance, and we have learned all the sample collars, is it okay to return to the branch secretary?" ”
Zhang Guangming looked at the young Miao Miao and said happily in his heart: "Guys, do you feel a little crowded now, and you can't use your skills?" Don't worry, in a few days, I'll get you where you need to go! ”
He led the villagers to plant gourds on the adobe walls around the cave, and planted many trees around the cave in the courtyard.
Of course, willows and wattles that can be woven into baskets and baskets have to be planted on the ground near the roots of the inner wall, because it is easy to climb up to the wall.
After finishing his work on planting trees, he walked around the pond and found that the stamens on the seedlings around him were growing, and they would bloom in a few days.
Zhang Zhishu saw that there were crazy weed seedlings growing on the slope, which made people look very unsightly.
He couldn't help but say to himself: I have to find a way to change the environment here.
He said he acted and acted.
When Zhang Guangming was having breakfast, he said to his wife: I want to plant weeping willow trees, hibiscus trees, peach trees, plum trees, plantains, etc., as well as flowers and flowering grasses around the big pond.
Before his wife Li Yue'e could finish his sentence, she smiled and said, "I don't participate in politics, you should discuss these things with the village cadres instead of me." ”
Zhang Guangming said with an apology: "I have already used our family's money to buy seeds of flowers and trees in the forest farm, and planted them in the experimental base, and now the seedlings are growing strong." ”
Li Yue'e was surprised when she heard this, and said, "Oh? Are the seeds growing into seedlings? Why did you tell me now? ”
When he was about to explain to his wife, his wife said happily: "Take it, you use our money to buy those "delicate babies" in the pond, don't I have no objection?" In the future, you will have the financial power of our family, and you will have the final say in the calculations! You can only withdraw the money from the passbook, and you don't need to discuss it with me in the future, you can make your own decisions! ”
When Zhang Guangming heard this, he couldn't help but kiss his wife's face with a smile.
Li Yue'e's face turned red when she brushed the ground.
The three daughters present all smiled and said, "Look, mom is shy!" ”
When the couple heard this, they burst out laughing.
Zhang Guangming quickly ate a bowl of rice and walked quickly to the brigade office.
He used a loudspeaker to inform the team members to come to the brigade for a meeting.
He also said, "Come quickly."
The village cadres trotted all the way here.
Zhang Zhishu told them in a solemn tone that he was going to carry out greening work in our village.
Could you please discuss it and see if you are in it?
They were all in favor.
Zhang Guangming said again, "Since you all agreed, then I will go to my production team to borrow a carriage ......."
Zhang Zhishu came to the home of the captain Zhang Guangcai and told him that he wanted to borrow the carriage in the team to pull saplings for greening.
Captain Zhang was very supportive of Zhang Zhishu's approach, so he readily agreed.
So, Zhang Guangming took the shovel and the village cadres to the experimental base of the brigade.
Everyone planed up all kinds of saplings in the experimental base one by one and loaded them into the wagon.
Zhang Zhishu drove the carriage full of saplings, and sang a self-composed song all the way: "Horse, run quickly...... Kick and gallop steadily, and keep in mind that you can't reach speed. Determined to be a pillar of hard work, life does not stop running! ”
He drove the wagon to the great pond, and the men unloaded the saplings from the wagon.
Then they took shovels and dug pits and planted trees.
On this sunny spring day, Zhang Zhishu and the village cadres first planted small saplings around the big pond, and then everyone waved pickaxes and planted trees on both sides of the village and the busy agricultural road, as well as on both sides of the riverbank.
Zhang Guangming told the crowd: "I learned that planting trees is a special thing by reading books on planting fruit trees. What if you dig a pit twice as big as the roots, put the saplings in the pit, straighten the saplings, fill in the soil, and add half of the soil? Lift the fruit tree sapling up a little more. "Everyone did what Zhang Guangming said.
He also told everyone: "And you have to keep stepping on the soil, but don't leave any air." Add more soil around the trunk, otherwise you will sink into a big hole when you water it. ”
Everyone planted small saplings according to what Zhang Zhishu said.
"The next step is to water thoroughly, and you have to straighten it when watering! You also need to pick up some large paulownia leaves, or plantain leaves, of course, other large leaves, and cover the leaves on top of the tree pit, so as to reduce water volatilization.
Please do what I say. Because only by doing this, the survival rate of the tree will be greatly increased! ”
Gui Xiaobao said loudly: Please follow these planting methods as Zhang Zhishu said, and the survival of fruit trees will be high.
At this time, Wang Meihua said with some anxiety: "Then planting according to the method you Zhang Zhishu said, can you guarantee a 100% survival rate?" What if there are dead saplings? ”
