Li Yunfeng was thoughtful, as if he was immersed in the scene switch between memory and reality.

"This land is the peanut field back then, and from the time I didn't know you to the present, peanuts are still being planted as before. No change. ”

He continued to stare into the distance and said:

"Now, as in previous years, the soil has been loosened before the festival, and the seeds can be planted just waiting for spring. The seedlings in the paddy field are growing very well, and the seedlings can be pulled out and then planted in the cultivated paddy field in the spring. After a few months, there will be another harvest, and this is true of our village, your village, our county, and all the rural towns and villages. We have done a lot of exploration, from soil analysis, seed selection, planting procedures, to market research and national policies, in all aspects, whether I am with the people in the village or alone in the sleepless night, I have been studying, hoping to be able to continue to improve, can have a new way of life and production to improve the income of people in the township and village, but it is really not easy, but this is also worth my continued efforts, if I give up the harvest in these fields, only go to the company to make money to make a living, do you thinkIs there any point in what I've been working on, what we've been saying together here? ”

Yun Feng followed Li Yunfeng's hope towards the ridge of the field under the sun.

As he said, the reddish-brown earth waited silently and orderly for the arrival of spring planting, and the mirror-like paddy fields were full of green seedlings.

He remembered the wish he made with her in the ridges of the field, in the sunset.

She remembers, he said that he was going to go to the best university to learn the best farming techniques and come back to his hometown. Now, for the sake of his family, he did not go to college, but he has always kept his vow.

Yun Feng turned his head to look at him standing beside him, and understood more clearly than before that he was born because of this land, and his mission was this land and people, otherwise, his life would be eclipsed and even cease to exist.

Just like her, like him, she was nurtured by this land, and when everyone was willing to pursue a higher income, neither he nor her heart could forget this land that had been cultivated for thousands of years. It's just that the two people have the same concern in their hearts, but they have chosen different ways of practice and exploration.

The flame of the vow that the two of them made together ignited in her heart back then, and it turned out to be as hot as when she was young.

She clearly knew that he was still the same person he used to be, and he had not changed.

Li Yunfeng also stared at the large field in front of him, and a trace of sadness flashed imperceptibly on his face.

He seemed to flash his father's face in bed in pain, and he also saw his mother lying on the weed-covered ground after being bitten by a snake.

The reason why he was so determined to give up his future that should have been better in the eyes of outsiders, and even Yun Feng, whom he loved like life, was because the death of his parents was related to this land, and he was reluctant to leave, he wanted to rejuvenate this land, so that the people of this land could stand up from the difficult survival and poor life.

Over the years, there have been many people in the township who have fallen on this land for various reasons, or who are alive but living a difficult life that is unimaginable to outsiders.

The hardships of his life, the intergenerational poverty he witnessed, made him acutely aware that nothing could be more important than to make this land and the people who live on it better.

He hopes that his mission, the mission of this life, is to fight on this land, so that the people on the land can become better because of him.

With the practice of in-depth work in the fields and the continuous exchanges and collisions with external experts, he began to firmly believe that farmers should become a profession, with the support of science and technology-based agriculture, and form a unique community with land and land in a village and town.

There is nothing bad about being a farmer, especially like him now, he is very satisfied to have a happy family, a confidant, and to choose and live according to his own ideas.

It's just that among the peasants, there are still too few people like him, so he wants to help them, at least to live as he is now, to have a certain amount of skills, and to have the spare energy to live. As long as he does his best, he can be at ease and have no regrets.

"Then why did you resign as the chief director of the county?"

Yun Feng was still a little puzzled.

"The county chief director sounds like the title of technical director, but it is actually an administrative position. I am mostly responsible for some leadership receptions and the like, and for me, it takes too much research energy. ”

Li Yunfeng frowned. At first, he was also looking forward to it, thinking that this position could allow him to stand higher and see further, but as a result, he was almost confined to the office for half a year, doing all kinds of foreign affairs with the leader, and accompanying him to drink and eat, he felt that his expertise, time, and energy were a huge waste. Therefore, he submitted his resignation at the end of the year.

"But if you want to build the villages and towns well, it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person, you must work together, you are in the position of general guidance, more contact with the leader, can make suggestions on the leader's decision-making, make influence, organize and optimize more resources, isn't it also necessary?"

Yun Feng said what was in his heart.

"I thought so at first, so I accepted it. But I didn't expect that after more than half a year, nothing was accomplished, and the time was spent on the wine table dinner. Moreover, the decisions of the leaders are based on the policies of the country, and in order to have an impact, they must be made by example, not by almost persuasive advice in the office. It was in consideration of the collective efforts you just mentioned that I decided to submit my resignation. “

Li Yunfeng remained calm.

"Oh? How so? “

Yun Feng asked with some curiosity.

"At present, to make a good example in a practical way, with enough persuasiveness, it is necessary to work together, but not with the group of people in the office, but from the village chief to the village committee to the villagers. I am not strong enough alone, but the friendship of a group of people is not enough, and it is only useful if the power of a group of people in the land is awakened and driven. “

Li Yunfeng's eyes were firm, and the look on his face was also resolute.

"Then what can be done to wake up and motivate?"

A ripple of sunshine appeared in Yun Feng's clear eyes, and she was also thinking with him about the land that raised her and the relatives on the land.

"There will always be a way, there is no best, but there is a better. Therefore, we must really practice and integrate into everyone, so that we can truly understand what everyone thinks, awaken and drive. “

Li Yunfeng stood quietly on the ridge, like a statue, resolute and good-looking.

His mind was not without confusion, but his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the hills on the edge of the field and see far, far into the future.

"Now that the country is still developing, and it also attaches importance to agriculture, farmers and rural areas, there will be a day when agriculture will undergo earth-shaking changes, and farmers will live a good life. It's just that this requires a process, we need to wait for the opportunity, and we also need to actively work hard while waiting, and keep experimenting. “

Li Yunfeng said these words from his mouth gently, without that kind of passionate determination, but with an irresistibly convincing calmness.

He firmly believes that he will find a way.

Yun Feng listened quietly beside him, knowing in his heart that his love for this land, people and his family was his faith, and he was following his own inner beliefs to make various choices and practices in life and career.

Then she will no longer have anything to worry about his future.

She smiled comfortably, bent down and picked up a dog's tail grass from her heel and bit it in her mouth, and then rolled up a blade of grass and handed it to Li Yunfeng beside her.

Li Yunfeng smiled, naturally reached out and took the grass leaves, put them in his mouth and blew them like when he was a teenager, crisp and happy.

can be with his confidant, although he can't be a lover anymore, but he is still the person who knows each other best in the world, practicing his original intention of youth, and his heart can't help but rise with passion like a colorful balloon.

His face, her face, was glowing.
