Chapter 11: Ideals ("138 Reading Books")

On the way home, Liu Peng was silent, he didn't understand why people in the city had such a big prejudice against people in the countryside? Didn't most of them also go out from the countryside? Have they all forgotten their previous lives or how their parents struggled to get into the city? What is the inferiority of the peasants? Wouldn't it be better without the peasants, who grow grain, fruit trees, and poultry of all kinds, and all of these supplies to the cities? Is it just the rich and the poor to distinguish between rural and urban areas? Liu Peng's heart is full of all kinds of questions, he has been touched too much today, the kindness and innocence of the little girl, the simplicity of the old man, these are the advantages of rural people, but what about urban people? I see for myself that it is selfish, sophisticated, and suspicious. Liu Peng also knows that he only sees some people, but people in the city always look down on rural people to a greater or lesser extent.

"Xiaopeng, don't think about it, I know you're uncomfortable, but there's no way around it! Think about it, don't worry about these things! Grandpa persuaded

"Grandpa, did you say it was all predestined? Can't it be changed? Will the redneck not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life? Liu Peng asked rhetorically

"Change? How to change? Do you know? Take the people from our village! Now more and more people are going out, they are all going to work in other places, and the money they earn outside the home in a year is several times that of what they used to earn in the countryside. Either renting a house in the city or settling down in the city to buy a house, who still wants to stay in the countryside, even they look down on the former villagers, how do you say this has changed, people in the countryside who enter the city who do not walk with their heads down, their hearts are yearning for the city, who has no idea in their hearts, 'when will their own city people be good!' It's hard to change that! Not only in the material aspect, but also in the spiritual aspect, because they have low self-esteem, so they feel inferior, which is difficult! Grandpa hadn't thought about changing all of this before, but he couldn't! Looks like I don't want to see all of this, Xiaopeng! The future will depend on you younger generation! If you settle down in the city in the future, don't forget that we are in the countryside, our home is in the countryside! Grandpa said to Liu Peng earnestly

"Grandpa, don't worry! I won't forget the countryside, and I don't want to stay in the city in the future, I'm used to nature, close to nature, and I see those steel forests in the city, a lifeless forest, I'm not used to it, or our countryside is good, the air is good, the water is clear, and the people are simpler than the people in the city. ”

"What? You don't want to go into town in the future? So what are you going to do? Like us, digging soil for a lifetime? ”

"Grandpa, no, I just want to do my best to change all this, I think I will start from our village, I want to see why our rural people can't do it?" Liu Peng said firmly

"Xiaopeng, it's not that grandpa poured cold water on you, you can't do it alone, you can lead them to get rich, but can you lead their spirit to get rich?"

"Grandpa, if you didn't do it, how do you know that it won't work? Doesn't Grandpa support me? Liu Peng looked at his grandfather and hoped to get his answer

"Hehe, grandpa also wants to change all this, but he has experienced too much, and the more difficulties he encounters, grandpa is a person who has come over, and he has no fighting spirit!" Grandpa smiled wryly.

"Grandpa, trust me!"

Looking at Liu Peng's firm gaze, grandpa's heart couldn't help but tremble, it seems that this grandson of his is serious, alas, I don't know if all this is good or bad? Grandpa secretly said in his heart: "Xiaopeng is such a smart baby, he will definitely be able to be admitted to a good university in the future, and there is no problem in settling down in the city, but he will be a farmer in the future, I don't know if it hurts him, alas, is it a good thing to take him to the town today?" It seems that only God knows, maybe this is also destined by God? Maybe! ”

"Xiaopeng, do you have any plans, let grandpa refer to it, maybe grandpa can pay attention to you."

"Grandpa, now I have a plan in my heart, isn't our family engaged in Taoyuan now? I think in two years, the peach orchard will be fruitful, and then it will enter the harvest period, when the money is enough, I will let my father continue to pack the barren mountain, but there will be grandpa you unexpected results! Liu Peng said mysteriously

"Oh! Xiaopeng, what do you seem to know? Tell grandpa about it! Grandpa looked at Liu Peng curiously

"Hehe, grandpa, keep it secret now, you don't believe it when you say it, but, grandpa, after you go back this time, you have to let the people in the village stop cutting it in the 'chaos', now there are few green hills around our village, remember when I was a child, the village was full of green, and there was game in the forest? Now, what's left on the mountain? ”

"Alas! This is also a helpless thing, in the past, the people in the village were for the immediate interests, which family did not secretly "touch" and "touch" a few to cut down a few trees to sell, at that time I couldn't stop it, everyone agreed to it in person, and it was not the same at night, I was also distressed at that time, such a big tree, just gone, and now there is a bare mountain top. No one pays attention now. Grandpa sighed

After agreeing to the situation, the grandfather continued to ask, "That's it?" Just wrap up the mountains and plant forests? That doesn't seem to work! ”

"Of course, only the peach orchard of the *** family has benefited, I think there are always villagers to plant, when the time comes, it will be organized by the village, unified development, unified sales, maybe not necessarily planting peaches, you can plant others, such as fast-growing "sex" trees, you can plant some herbs "medicine" or something, these are very valuable, such planting is too single, we also have to develop aquaculture, develop agricultural and sideline products processing industry, engage in ecological agriculture construction, so that the environment is beautified, I don't think even if you start tourism, it's not a problem. This is just a small idea of mine, and how to develop it in the future depends on the specific situation at that time, in short, what we want to engage in is ecological agriculture. In that case, I don't think the per capita income of our village will be low. Liu Peng planned excitedly

The grandfather next to him was dumbfounded, and thought for a long time before asking, "Xiaopeng, what's going on with this ecological agriculture?" Why can't you understand what you said grandpa! ”

"This, grandpa, let me tell you briefly, you understand it this way, for example, we raise pigs, we used to water the manure of pig discharge directly into the ground, when fertilizer is used, in fact, it is not completely used, I said agriculture first collects this manure into the biogas digester, after fermentation, produces biogas, this biogas can be used as fuel, so that it is clean, environmentally friendly, there is no smoke, the remaining substances in the biogas digester can be used as fertilizer, and the pigweed planted is used to raise pigs, this is just a simple cycle. There will be a bigger cycle in the future, and now I won't tell grandpa one by one. ”

"Grandpa seems to understand something, you just want to make a cycle or something, increase the use value. By the way, Xiaopeng, how do you know this, and how much do you have in your little head? ”

"Hehe, grandpa, this is just when I used to study, some of them were introduced in biology books, and I was more interested in this, so I found some related extracurricular books to learn about it."

What Grandpa didn't know was that Liu Peng's brain was not only so simple, but he studied agriculture in a key college.

"Grandpa heard what you said, and I feel that it will work, then Xiaopeng, you have to study hard in the future, learn more knowledge, and it will be easier for you to change the changes in our village. How about grandpa recommending you to be the village chief in the future? Grandpa laughed

"Grandpa, you're kidding! You let me be the village head, the villagers are not convinced, hehe, don't hurt me! ”

"Xiaopeng, if you really want to develop in the countryside in the future, you will take the village head as the successor, and with the title of village head, it will be more convenient to do anything. Whether you can make those villagers accept it depends on your own ability, but Grandpa believes that you will do it, and Grandpa will support you behind it. Grandpa looked at Liu Peng seriously

Seeing his grandfather's serious expression, Liu Peng knew that what his grandfather said was true, Liu Peng thought about it for a while, and replied to his grandfather: "Grandpa, if it is necessary to be *** when the time comes, I will continue, and I will also be like my grandfather, be a qualified village chief and do practical things for the villagers." ”

"Then come on, Xiaopeng! Grandpa has paved the way for you in the past few years, and you will be able to get started better when the time comes. ”

"Hmmm! Grandpa, it's almost time to come to the commune, come to my house for dinner in the evening! I'll stir-fry for you, the last time I stir-fried for my father, he said that I was better than my mother's fried food! ”

"Really? Okay, I'll try it! ”
