Chapter 229 Leave Something Behind

Qin Mubai stood in the distance, looking at this small village, in fact, it was a very ordinary small village, but sometimes, it was from these small places that the huge changes could be felt, some mountain villages in the south Qin Mubai did not understand, nor commented, but as far as the whole of Inner Mongolia is concerned, this place is already the poorest.

Now there are cement roads in the village, every household has mechanized farm tools, and some families have cars, although they are not expensive, they may only be 50,000 or 60,000 cars, but at least they have cars, right?

In addition, there is solar energy for bathing, and coal burning in winter is not a restriction, and the houses have changed from the earliest adobe houses to the current brick houses, and almost every household has a very clean brick house.

Most of their land has been contracted out, and they are no longer cultivating it themselves, but now it is some people from the south who are cultivating it, and they have contracted large tracts of these lands to grow potatoes in a concentrated manner, and now the grain of the whole country is no longer produced in each other, but almost divided into areas to grow things.

Rice from the south is transported to the north, potatoes and wheat from the north are transported to the south, and large areas of corn grown in the northeast are intensively produced as fodder and other things are transported to all parts of the country.

Today's farmers have begun to plant in patches, centralized, and unified, unlike before, when each household almost planted more than a dozen kinds of crops, at least in Qin Mubai's impression, this is how their family grows. There is a lot of cultivated land in Inner Mongolia, Qin Mubai's family had a field of five people back then, not counting the wasteland is 37 acres, counting the wasteland is 57 acres.

When Qin Mubai was a child, the things planted in his memory, wheat, corn, and sunflowers, which are one of the most important cash crops, and then there are seed melons (similar in shape to watermelons, but smaller than watermelons, the flesh is yellow and white, and the melon seeds are mainly produced), gourds, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and other small-scale cash crops, as for the fragments in his own home (that is, the abbreviation of vegetables), because he grows more than a dozen kinds of vegetables, the types are many and the area is small, and they are only for their own home consumption, so they are called fragments.

I won't talk about these bits and pieces, because they are all eaten by themselves.

As for sorghum, on the contrary, they almost don't plant it here, but now it's no longer that kind of planting, and maybe everyone will plant it in bits and pieces, because in summer, after all, every household eats it by itself, but like other crops, almost all of them in the northeast are corn, and rice is only planted in some areas, and most areas don't grow rice anymore, they all grow corn.

Because corn is simple, from farming to harvesting, you almost don't need to go to the field, it is all done by machines, and then you take the money, you can't go to the field once a year, this kind of farming, I didn't dare to imagine it before.

Almost part of Inner Mongolia has corn, sunflowers and wheat left, and now there are more people growing watermelons, and there are no other things that are grown.

And some of the seeds, such as seeds and melons, are not like before, when a family only planted two or three acres, but after someone contracted, they directly planted hundreds of acres and hundreds of acres, and then harvested and sold in a centralized manner.

In fact, although there are only middle-aged and elderly people left in the village, in fact, the farm work is not so hard, even in summer, there is a lot of time to play mahjong or something.

When Qin Mubai was a child, he remembered that since the ploughing began in March, his parents and grandparents had no time to rest, and they were almost busy until the last corn and sunflower harvest after the National Day, and the year was not over.

Because this is a crop, you can take a break in winter, such as winter wheat in some places to the south, and even winter can't rest for long.

The old man was chatting happily there, and even heard bursts of hearty laughter from time to time, Qin Mubai didn't bother, but just watched quietly here, the old man's face was very happy, the smile was from the heart, and the few old people who chatted with the old man were also very happy.

In this way, after chatting with these old men and aunts for more than an hour, the old man stood up and said goodbye and walked in the direction of Qin Mubai.

After getting back into the car, Qin Mubai and the others crossed the village and then turned around and drove outside.

"It's good, but there are still some problems. The old man sighed slightly and said, before Qin Mubai could speak, the old man continued: "There is no perfect thing in the world, it is unrealistic, if you really encounter a perfect thing, then you have to be careful, because if you can cover up such a perfect, there must be something else behind it." ”

"Yes. Qin Mubai nodded honestly in agreement.

"Let's go to the hill in front of us, there's a way up. The old man pointed to a hill in front of him and spoke.

Qin Mubai nodded, and drove directly towards the mountain, even if there is no road, it doesn't matter, the mountains here are all similar to hills, gentle hills, there is no straight up and down.

It is no exaggeration to say that an ordinary urban SUV can even climb on it, and Qin Mubai's car is even more fine.

About half an hour later, Qin Mubai drove the car up this mountain, this mountain is the highest one nearby, standing on this top can see the scenery in the distance, and the straight asphalt road next to it stretches into the distance, like a black ribbon all the way to the end of the field of vision.

The old man got out of the car and walked to the top of the hill, looking at the scenery in the distance with his hands on his waist, the green hill was like a green carpet, endless, and the thousands of sheep on the next hill were like a lump of white cotton moving slowly on the hill.

Several shepherds were sitting not far from the flock chatting with each other, letting the sheep graze leisurely with their heads bowed and grazing, and a few sheepdogs crouched there, watching the surroundings vigilantly, lest the sheep only care about grazing, and then leave the flock.

On the other side, about two or three hundred cows were resting on the ground, and in the distance there was a herd of horses, no halters, nothing, like wild horses.

It seems that the original ecology of hundreds of years ago is still maintained here, but in the distance behind them, the towering wind turbines, and the automatic water spraying well irrigation system on the other side, all declare that this era is no longer the nomadic era of hundreds of years ago, but a new new society, a new era of technology.

The old man crossed his hands on his hips, quietly looking at everything around him, as if he wanted to imprint this beautiful river and mountain into his mind, and after a long time, the old man suddenly said, "Xiao Qin, I'm leaving." ”

"What?!" Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, and after asking, he understood what this old man meant, and Qin Mubai immediately became anxious.

He walked over quickly: "Don't, Uncle Wu, why are you leaving, it's only been less than a day, I haven't taken you on the latest plane now, I haven't taken you on the latest high-speed rail, a high-speed train with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and a coin on it will not fall." ”

"I haven't taken you to see the Pearl, the largest city in China now, and even people abroad say that it is already the largest modern city in the world, different from the old New York, and different from the outdated days of London and Paris, it represents an ancient oriental country has risen in the east. ”

"I haven't taken you to see the capital, I haven't taken you to see our aircraft carriers, our ships, or even ...... I haven't taken you to Huai'an yet. Qin Mubai said in a hurried tone, he was a little at a loss, he had already planned countless trips in his heart, he wanted to take this old man to see the changes in the land of the motherland, the changes in this country, and the happy life of all the people in this country.

Look at the country that has accomplished the life they hoped for, the expectation, the hope, and look at every scene they wanted to see back then, but didn't see.

"Xiao Qin, you don't need it, look there. The old man glanced back at Qin Mubai with a smile, and then looked into the distance.

Qin Mubai followed the old man's gaze, it was a far away, it was a lonely house of a villager, and there was a yurt, but looking at the appearance of that yurt, it should be built by the herdsmen to graze here in the summer and rest at night.

There is a simple yard with small wind and solar generators, and next to a small wind pole, a wooden pole with a red, bright five-star red flag.

Qin Mubai didn't know why this resident wanted to hang a national flag, he saw that many people's yards hung this on this grassland, of course, there were many people who didn't hang it. Usually he didn't feel anything when he saw it, but at this moment, Qin Mubai couldn't tell what mood he was in.

"I know the place you are talking about, the pearl, the capital must be a very developed big city, right? Just like you said, our country has come to the forefront of the world in many places, and even some science and technology have become the first in the world, I know all this, I can hear from what you said. The old man said with a smile.

"However, I don't need to look at these things, I just need to know whether ordinary people's lives are good or not, it's enough, I just need to know that these most ordinary people can live a happy and healthy life, and I will smile. Although I only went to two places, I was able to feel completely at ease with these two places. ”

"This country has its new leaders, this nation has its new hope, its new blood, and new things to be proud of in their bones. These things will precipitate little by little, until they become the accumulation of history again, and we, the old guys, have become history, so we will silently watch you in history, maybe you will go the wrong way, maybe you will also encounter difficulties, but I believe that you, this future generation, you will catch up again. Our world is in the past, and the world is yours now. ”
