New Year's Day is approaching, at the invitation of Smith Lin, Kane led the Lianguo men's football team to visit Qiangguo.

The group flew directly to the capital of Qiang by plane. Liang Qiangping stepped out of the country for the first time, he was very nervous and excited, and it always felt unnatural to sit on the plane, but fortunately, he had teammates to chat and relieve boredom along the way.

After the battle with the Ju national football team, Liang Qiangping has become famous all over the world, and this visit to Qiang Country will inevitably be sought after by star chasers. Before leaving, Liang Qiangping specially told Smith Lin to do a good job of confidentiality and travel in a low-key manner.

Smith Lin understands his concerns, and his humility and low-key are admirable!

The plane arrived at the capital airport of Qiangguo, and Kane led the team off the plane.

Smith Lin led the officials of the Qiang National Football Association to meet them at the airport in advance. After a brief greeting between the two sides, they took two buses to the temporary training center of the Qiang national team.

However, Liang Qiangping did not attach importance to this friendly football match between Lotus and Qiang, first, he did not want to expose his strength too early; Second, Smith Lin is kind to himself, he doesn't want to embarrass the opposing team, and the result of the game is not lost.

He was interested in a visit to the Smith Lin family's eco-farm, with whom he had made an appointment. Compared with big cities, Liang Qiangping yearns for a life in nature, and if he can build an ecological farm in his hometown, he can live back to nature in the future.

On the afternoon of the second day after the race, Smith Lin personally drove Liang to his home.

Cars sped along the wide road. After a quarter of an hour, the car pulled off the road and headed out for the suburbs.

Liang Qiangping looked out through the window glass and saw that both sides of the road were planted with flowers and trees. From a distance, the high-rise buildings in the city are lined up one after another, a prosperous scene!

Along the way, Smith Lin and Liang Qiangping laughed and chatted very happily. Smith Limburn was a talkative man, he was good at diplomacy, he was experienced and well-informed, and there was always something to talk about, an interesting thing to say.

Liang Qiangping chatted with him mostly nodding his head in response, he didn't want to talk much, this time he came to learn from the experience, and it was also the first time to go abroad, so don't make jokes.

The car soon drove to the outskirts and drove some way to the door of a manor.

Smith Lin drove the car straight to his doorstep before stopping. His family was already waiting at the door. His son, Tom, and his girlfriend, Lily, are at the front. The two of them held flowers in their hands and smiled all over their faces. He was joined by his wife, Linda, and his brother, Smith King, and his brother's twin daughters and his wife.

Tom shouted from afar, "It's Daddy and the lifesaver, it's them, they're back." He ran up excitedly.

Lily ran up as well. King King's twin daughters also ran up.

Smith Lin and Liang stepped out of the car together, their faces full of laughter. The group immediately greeted them. Smith Lin introduced his relatives to Liang one by one.

Liang couldn't understand Qiangwen, so he had to be translated by Smith Lin, who reluctantly greeted his family.

Tom and Lily presented flowers to Liang to thank him for saving his life that day.

Liang Qiangping didn't feel much kindness, if he was someone else, he would come forward. Fortunately, it was precisely because of saving their family that I met Mr. Ambassador and had the opportunity to visit and study in Qiangguo.

After a few words of greeting, Smith Lin walked into his manor with Liang Qiangping.

Liang Qiangping originally guessed that Smith Lin's home should be a beautiful villa, but he never thought that the manor in front of him was quite simple, with no high-rise buildings, only a three-story building. The house is surrounded by a garden with vegetables and fruits, more like a manor.

Smith Lin seemed to see the doubts in Liang Qiangping's heart, so he smiled at him and said, "Great benefactor, this is my hometown, and it is called the countryside in your lotus country. I know you don't like to live in a big city, so I didn't take you to the official villa where I lived, please don't see you! ”

Liang Qiangping suddenly understood that Smith Lin had thought so thoughtfully that he had to be admired, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Ambassador has bothered!" You're too polite, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I meet outside. ”

Tom squeezed forward and shouted, "No, you're not an ordinary person, you're a superman, a big hero!" He said it in lotus script, although it was a little awkward, but it could also be understood.

Liang Qiangping looked sideways at him, and said in surprise: "You can speak Lianwen, it's rare!" Rare! ”

Tom laughed for a while, and said: "Every summer vacation, Dad will always take me to your lotus country, Dad asked me to learn Lotus well, helped me sign up for the lotus training class, studied for a while, only learned to speak some daily language, big hero, let you see the smile!" ”

Liang Qiangping smiled and said, "Learning Lianwen well will help you a lot, and your father is very discerning." ”

Smith Lin said: "Tom is also a fan of Lotus Kingdom, and I hope that the big heroes will guide him more in the future. ”

Liang Qiangping said: "Mr. Ambassador is too polite, I only have a junior high school education, how dare I guide Tom, a college student!" ”

Tom said seriously: "Great benefactor, you are too modest, you are capable, I am thinking of learning from you?" I'm serious. He stared at Liang Qiangping with his eyes tight, full of sincerity.

Liang Qiangping laughed and said: "It's not modest, I am indeed an ordinary farmer who didn't finish junior high school." Now that you're in college, you should learn from the learned professors in the university. ”

While talking and laughing, everyone had already walked into the three-story house. As far as the eye can see, the interior of the house is simple and tidy, and it does not look like the residence of a wealthy and noble family.

Smith Lin's parents had been waiting at home for a long time, but they were too old to be greeted by a flood on the Li River last time and had not yet fully recovered.

Smith Lin's mother greeted Liang and held his hand tightly, as if she had found the treasure, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

Looking at the old mother in front of him, Liang Qiangping couldn't help but think of his mother, it's good to be alive! How happy the Smith Lin family is! And now his family is left alone, and he is sad in his heart!

That night, the Smith Lin family hosted a welcome banquet for Liang at the manor and welcomed him in the friendliest way in the area to thank him for saving his life. The banquet lasted until midnight, when everyone was tired, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day the weather was fine and the Smith Lin family woke up early. Linda and Smith King's wife made breakfast together. After breakfast, Smith Lin took Liang to visit his ecological farm. He knew that Liang Qiangping did not like to be lively, preferred quiet, and before coming to Qiangguo, he had agreed with himself to visit his own ecological farm. Therefore, he has prepared in advance with his family.

Liang Qiangping has been looking forward to it for a long time, and he can't wait to set off immediately. The city is too noisy, even if it is bustling, but there is no place for peace. He loves nature, free and pure. I have heard that the Smith Lin family's ecological farm is very famous and distinctive, and I should visit it today.

Smith Lin drove himself and took Liang Qiangping, Linda, Tom, and Lily to his own ecological farm in the suburbs. Smith King accompanied his wife and two twin daughters in a separate car.

Along the way, Smith Lin briefed Liang about his ecological farm. How to choose a site, how to plan and design, how to dig ditches and build ditches, how to plant flowers and grasses, how to plant trees and breed, etc., made Liang Qiangping refreshing and benefited a lot.

About an hour's drive, they had already driven to an ecological farm in the suburbs called Boyodi. When the car drove to the gate of the farm, there was already a farm sightseeing tour bus parked at the gate and waiting. There were several farm workers standing in front of the car, presumably they had been notified by Smith Lin in advance to meet them.

Everyone got out of the car and transferred to the sightseeing tour bus.

Smith Lin accompanied Liang to sit in the front parking space. Linda, Tom, and Lily sat in the middle. Smith King's family of four sat in the back of the car. Two workers on the farm are responsible for driving and taking them around the farm.

The sightseeing tour bus slowly drove into the gate of the farm, and what appeared in front of everyone was an ecological farm that could not be seen at a glance. In the distance, there are still some rocks in the distance. The mountains are not big, they are not far apart, and they live alone. A river surrounds the perimeter of the farm, and its tributaries run through almost the entire farm.

Liang looked at the farm in front of him, as if he had returned to his hometown. Similar topography can be seen everywhere in Jinlin, but no one has developed it, and it is basically abandoned. However, the people of Qiang have fully developed and utilized such terrain to build an ecological farm, which is unique and remarkable!

The sightseeing tour bus drove along the concrete road directly in the middle of the farm. The concrete road was built straight and divided the farm into two areas, north and south. On both sides of the road is a level arable land for growing vegetables and fruits. At this time, the vegetables on the ground are being watered with an automatic watering machine. The water is sprinkled on the green leaves, and it looks even more oily and shiny when exposed to the sun.

Smith Lin explained to Liang Qiangping: "Boyodi Farm is an all-natural ecological farm, and the vegetables, fruits, and wheat grown here are all natural, without greenhouses, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides. Pure natural seeds, natural growth, fertilizer is fermented organic fertilizer in the farm, will not cause harm to the human body. The farm is fully automated and does not require many employees. ”

Liang Qiangping listened and watched at the same time, and secretly admired in his heart, it is indeed amazing!

Smith Lin and Liang explained the construction and management of the farm in detail.

Liang Qiangping listened with relish, he couldn't imagine that Smith Lin was so knowledgeable, no wonder he could be a diplomat, he was good at everything, he was really a genius! He asked curiously: "Mr. Ambassador, what did you do before, and why do you know so much about agriculture?" ”

Smith Lin laughs, "I used to be a farmer, and my parents spent their lives building this farm. Before I became a diplomat, I used to come to the farm with them, and they taught me a lot about agriculture. Now my parents are too old to do it, they are retired, and I have become diplomats. ”

After hearing this, Liang Qiangping sighed with emotion: "Why didn't Mr. Ambassador inherit your parents' career and become a diplomat instead?" ”

Smith Lin smiled, "The farm is managed by a professional team, and my brother is in charge, so I don't have to worry about it." I studied diplomacy at university, and I wanted to be a diplomat since I was a child, so I found my interest and became a diplomat. ”

Liang asked with a smile: "Being a diplomat is better than being a farm, right?" ”

Smith Lin smiled at him and said, "Of course! In particular, serving as your ambassador is the greatest honor of my life. Hehe, otherwise how could I have a chance to make friends with you, a big hero? ”

Liang Qiangping was amused by him, and laughed: "I'm not a big hero, if I had to choose, I'd rather be a farmer than a big hero." ”

Smith Lin asked uncertainly, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Liang Qiangping said with a smile: "There are no quiet days when you are a big hero. If there are endless things to do, if you can't finish talking, it is better to be a farmer and live more comfortably with a variety of vegetables and fruits. ”

Smith Lin laughed and said, "As you said, I will come back to be a farmer in the future, not a diplomat!" ”

Liang Qiangping smiled: "That can't be difficult, everyone's interests and hobbies are different." You can't stand to be quiet, you don't want to be a diplomat, so don't you suffocate you on the farm? ”

Smith Lin heard this, and there was another burst of laughter. The two chatted happily and amused each other.

Liang Qiangping suddenly asked: "Mr. Ambassador, if I build an ecological farm in the future, and send a team of people to visit and study with you, will Mr. Ambassador be willing to receive you?" ”

Smith Lin Ying said: "I will do my best to help them in the affairs of Engong and teach them without reservation." ”

Liang was very happy to hear this, shook Smith Lin's hand and said, "In this case, I thank Mr. Ambassador very much!" I am a layman and lack agricultural skills, so if I really build a farm in the future, I hope that Mr. Ambassador will give me more guidance. ”

Smith Lin said, "Grace is modesty, you have powers, you are born a great hero. What you want to do is a big thing, a big thing in the world! ”

Liang Qiangping smiled and said: "My ability is not enough to eat, and I still need firewood, rice, oil and salt for life!" ”

Smith Lin nodded and smiled.

The tour bus has driven past the vegetable field and into the fruit forest. There is a small hill on the right side of the road with kumquats. At this moment, the kumquat is ripe and fragrant.

Linda suggested a picnic on the hillside for fresh fruit. Everyone agreed, and they got out of the car and walked up the hillside.

Tom and Lily and the twin sisters were at the front, picking two baskets of kumquats. Linda and Smith King's wife found a flat area on the hillside and spread a blanket on the ground. And they sat around on the blankets and ate kumquats.

The kumquat is sweet and refreshing, crisp and thirst-quenching, and it is indeed delicious! After eating the kumquats, everyone collected the carpet and returned to the sightseeing bus to continue the tour to the farm.

It is wider inside, with a large pond in the middle, which is connected to the river like a miniature reservoir. The water is sparkling, the water is crystal clear, and schools of fish swim in the water. Flowers and plants are planted around the pond, and there is a fishing platform built on the shore for tourists to fish. Further inside is the farm, where all kinds of livestock and poultry are raised. The whole farm is an ecosystem, recycled and fed each other.

Liang praised it. There are mountains and rivers here, the air is fresh, the flowers and plants are luxuriant, and the planting and breeding are complete. It's not exquisite, but it's beautiful. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but think of Daojing Valley again, he hadn't gone back to see it for a while, he didn't know if there had been any changes, and he didn't know if the white-haired old man would go back there. Although the cave had collapsed, the water was still flowing, and he could still live in it with a little repair, and he missed it a little.

As the sun sets, everyone takes a tour of the farm and then drives back.
