Chapter 228 is not the same place to go

Qin Mubai nodded, and without saying a word, he directly carried the meat to the trunk, opened the trunk, and bought a car refrigerator directly from the mall, although it cost more than a hundred performance points, but it doesn't matter, it's worth it.

Put the three catties of meat, which represented a completely different meaning, into the refrigerator, and Qin Mubai closed the trunk.

After getting into the car, the old man said directly: "Xiao Qin, I'm sorry for you, take me to the nearby countryside for a walk." ”

"Good. Qin Mubai nodded and started the car directly.

At that time, the old man was perhaps the most important farmer, and this was probably one of the people he cared about the most, in the words of the founding leader, without the peasants to grow food, none of us would have enough to eat.

Qin Mubai didn't go to the countryside around the city, he knew that what the old man wanted to see was not these, he went straight to Ulanqab, he believed that the old man must know this place, he didn't need to go too far, that is, twenty years ago, this place was very, very poor, Qin Mubai and his grandmother's family just couldn't survive, so they moved to Bayannur.

Ulanqab (city), formerly called Wumeng, Shangdu (county), Tunken team town, Liujiafang, Erhusai village. This is Qin Mubai's mother's hometown, where she was born, but unfortunately Qin Mubai only came back when he was very young, about 5 years old, and he only has vague memories.

At that time, Qin Mubai remembered very well that it took more than ten hours to take the train from Bayannur to here, and now it takes about 6 hours to get there.

At that time, the train was full of people, and at night, these children were stuffed under the hard seats to sleep, and the smell on the train was particularly bad, and the train went very slowly.

He remembered getting off the train, taking a tattered van again, and then taking a carriage for several hours to reach his destination, although the surrounding scenery was grassland, but at that time Qin Mubai had no interest in seeing the scenery at all, he still remembered that when he came, it seemed to be early spring, there was a quilt on the carriage, and everyone was covered with quilts and sat in the carriage.

And now, even in these once poor places, there are cement asphalt township roads built here, Qin Mubai has told the old man his destination, and the old man immediately said that he would come here.

Because the old man knows that it is useless for you to look high, if you run to the capital now, run to Pearl City, you don't need to look, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are leading in the world.

Because China's economy has only recently developed, most of the buildings in these big cities are newly built, compared with those big cities in the United States, these big cities look extremely new, and all the buildings, subways, etc. are naturally the most advanced technology, so these cities are the most advanced, absolutely fine.

But when a country is strong, you don't look at the longest board, but at the shortest part.

And here, is the most direct representative, here, although there was grassland before, but it was impossible to raise too much sheep before, there was not so much grass in winter, and the herdsmen were not nomadic, so there was no grass to eat, too many sheep, could not live.

And the coal here in winter is not sold for sheep, and it is reluctant to burn, that is, it is burned at night to avoid freezing to death. Qin Mubai clearly remembers that when he came here at the age of 5, he and his grandfather's younger brother went up the mountain to pick up cow dung, because there were no trees or anything here, so cow dung was the only fuel for cooking.

As for the crops, they depend on the weather for food, and there is not much land, so you can't grow wheat, only noodles and buckwheat, and if there is a drought this year, then there will be nothing.

It is possible to grow potatoes, but potatoes do not need water completely, Qin Mubai's mother said that when they were children, they sometimes couldn't rain in a summer, even if they were potatoes, the harvest was not good.

Qin Mubai told the old man about the events of that year, this was still about eight years old, and the old man had already passed away at that time, and in the old man's time, it was even poorer here.

After listening to this, when the car is driving on the current country road, you can see the huge changes more intuitively, not to mention the road under your feet, let's talk about the car running on the road. You rarely see horse-drawn carriages anymore, motorcycles are the norm, and there are a lot of cars, and of course many tractors.

On both sides of the road, you can often encounter farmland, most of the potatoes planted on the farmland are potatoes, but the potatoes now are different from the potatoes of those years, and the potatoes here are cash crops, because of the sandy land here, the potatoes grown are very delicious, and the provinces do not know, but in Inner Mongolia, the potatoes here are very famous.

And in the middle of a large piece of natural enemies are two huge iron fences, these iron fences are more than one or two hundred meters long transversely, under the iron crossbars, there are wheels every twenty meters or so, and in the middle of the field there is a circular road for wheels to walk.

This is a well-drilled well, which is responsible for spraying water to the cultivated land below to avoid drought. In the distance, countless huge windmills formed a forest of wind and dust, which was the wind turbine.

There are the world's largest wind turbines in the vicinity, and the entire Inner Mongolia power grid has more than 70 billion yuan of electricity that cannot be used every year, in addition to the local electricity consumption of Inner Mongolia and a considerable part of the electricity supplied to the capital. The construction of an ultra-high voltage transmission network across the whole of China has already begun directly with Guangdong, and even so, the cost of electricity transmitted from here is lower than that of electricity from Hainan to Guangdong.

When they arrived at the destination, it was already afternoon, and at noon, Qin Mubai and the old man had a meal in a nearby town, there was no very good restaurant, it was an ordinary small restaurant, the four dishes had meat, the portion was not small, plus rice, it was not very expensive, and the two cost less than 100 yuan.

If you put it in the city, I'm afraid these four dishes will cost one hundred and forty or fifty.

The meals are all finished, and the old man's meal is not high, but Qin Mubai has no problem eating all the meals now. In fact, to be honest, what Qin Mubai struggled with along the way was that the reception fee given by King Chujiang was 100,000 a day, but Qin Mubai could spend very little on the old man.

And even if he wants to spend it, I'm afraid the old man won't accept it.

There are not many people in this village anymore, only a dozen or so families, but the houses are all rebuilt brick houses, you must know that this place is built with brick houses, and the bricks have to be transported in, which proves that life in this village is better now.

However, when I entered the village, although it was summer, there were not many people in the village, and many people went out to herd sheep, but there were also people in the village, but there were not many people, and most importantly, there were no young people, and the youngest was estimated to be over forty years old.

Seven or eight old people in the village in front of him were sitting there, Qin Mubai parked the car next to him, then got out of the car with the old man and walked towards the group of old people.

This group of elderly people looks older, but they are definitely not that old, mainly because they have been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, so they look older.

Seeing Qin Mubai and them coming, the main reason was that it was still difficult to come to a Mercedes-Benz here, and several old men and ladies had surprises and curiosity on their faces.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to travel, I see how few people in our village are. The old man walked over with a smile and talked directly.

Qin Mubai was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the old man still knew some dialect words here, sister, this word is not often spoken in other places, but it is often spoken in some places in Inner Mongolia.

"Oh, brother, are you from this big city?" an old man immediately smiled and couldn't help but ask.

"No, my children went to the big city, so I had to pick them up, but I used to come from the countryside, so I have feelings. The old man immediately said with a smile.

"Hey, there are few people in the village, isn't it, in a few years, once we old guys die, there will be no one in this village. ”

"Yes, now don't say it's a village, it's just that there are few young people in the town, there used to be a middle school in the town, but now they have all gone to the county, there are only primary schools left in the town, there are no students, and now the young people have gone to the city to develop, who wants to come back to the countryside." ”

"Isn't the Wangjiafang next door already merged with the Liupengdi Village next door? There is no way for just a few people, and it can't be done if they don't merge. ”

"This development is too fast, it has only been more than ten years, and almost all the people in this village have gone out. ”

"But it's good to go out, doesn't it mean that the baby's life has become better, but we old guys don't want to go to the city, and we still live comfortably in this village. ”

The old man just opened a sentence, and the seven or eight old people sitting here began to speak one after another.

"Are you doing well in this village?" the old man asked with a smile.

"It's difficult for you to say that it's impossible to have it, this grandson and grandson want to see it, but fortunately there is a mobile phone now, you can video that mobile phone, thanks to the good national policy now, there is a signal in this poor ravine, even if you can't video, it's no problem to call. ”

"But it's much better than when we were younger, not to mention anything else, you look at now, every household has a solar water heater, and we old guys also experience the life of a city person, take a bath every day, but sometimes we are not used to taking a bath every day, almost once a week. But when we were young, not to mention when we were young, let's just say that more than ten years ago, this water, sometimes it was not enough to eat and drink, let alone take a bath, it was good to be able to take a bath once in half a year, and many people took a bath when it came to the New Year. ”

"You old thing, I'm embarrassed to say, haha, it's already stinky when you wash it once a year, and the dirt on your body can take off three catties. ”

"Hey, don't talk about me, you old bitch, don't you wash it every few months at that time, and you have to be careful not to be looked at, haha. ”

A few old people chatted a little rudely, but the old man didn't care, just smiled and listened to their chat, looking at the village, although there are only a dozen families left, and the other houses are dilapidated, but the remaining dozen or so families are just like the old man said, every house is a brick house, there are solar water heaters on the roof, the gates are also brand new, and some yards can see mechanized farm tools.

This was unimaginable before.

"Brother, I said what are you looking at here in the middle of nowhere? There's no scenery here. Another old man asked with a smile.

"I used to come here when I was younger, but I don't recognize it anymore. The old man shook his head and said with a smile.

"Haha, I said, although your accent has changed, we can understand the dialect here, and you can also speak some of our words here, which some people in the city and people in other provinces and cities can't understand. ”

Qin Mubai didn't lean over, but stood more than ten meters away from them, watching the old man sitting on a stone in the village like that, talking and laughing with the old man there, and seemed to see his demeanor when he was young again.

PS: Well, I'm still alive.
