"Professor Ling, in addition to the irrigation canals that are arranged vertically and horizontally on the farm, I have also drilled twelve wells and twenty-four thirty-six cubic water cellars, which are evenly distributed around the farm."

More than 500 acres, that is, more than 300,000 square meters, you can't see the end at a glance.

A black pickup truck, an army green off-road, parked in front of a stretch of houses.

Among them are two rows of bungalows.

"This is where the farmers live, and next to it are sheep pens and chicken pens."

Wang Zhong pointed to another vacant land that had been leveled and introduced to everyone: "What I plan here is a barn, which is still being planned and to be built, after all, the geological situation is not very good now, and I can't grow any food." ”

Next to the continuous houses, under the spacious sheepfold, are stacked building materials everywhere, sand and gravel are piled up in one place, steel is piled up in one place, large stones are piled up in one place, bricks, tiles, wood, planks and other materials are also neatly stacked.

"Let's go straight to the field!" Professor Ling nodded and said directly, "Go to the area where the soil is most desertified. ”

Obviously, Professor Ling is not interested in the infrastructure construction of Wang Chong's farm, but also in the most serious problem of soil desertification.

"Let's go, let's get in the car and drive straight over!"

The road king on the farm has been planned for a long time, in order to maximize the rational use of machinery.

Wang Chong led everyone to the westernmost part of the plot, which is also the area with the most serious soil desertification, the first five rows of seedlings planted, separated by several meters from each other, have grown up a lot, and those dead have already been re-seeded by Wang Chong, these seedlings are basically sponsored by the development zone office, and they are assigned from the Forestry Bureau, not only Wang Chong here, along the ditch, the road into the village, and around the village, a circle of saplings have been planted.

"In fact, planting trees is the best choice, the roots of trees are complex, deep into the ground, adsorption of soil, is the best choice for wind and sand fixation." Professor Ling squatted on the ground, grabbed the sandy soil on the ground with his assistant Huang Zhanqi, frowned, raised his eyes and looked ahead, what he saw was a almost grassless Gobi Desert, mixed with sand and gravel, and occasionally found a little green in the middle of the sand and gravel.

"Desertification here is really serious."

At this moment, the position of everyone was thirty or forty meters away from the newly planted poplar forest, and the soil that Wang Chong had brought over only stopped when it was spread to the section of the poplar forest.

Moreover, the desertification area is still spreading towards the farm contracted by Wang Chong.

"These poplars were planted in a timely manner, which slowed down the degree of soil desertification to a certain extent and curbed its spread."

Wang Chongdao: "It's just that the effect is too slow, and besides, you can't plant trees on the farm!" ”

Professor Ling didn't answer, his eyes swept around, and he said with satisfaction: "This place is indeed good, it is very experimental, if Juncao can grow here, I believe it will definitely grow very well in other places." ”

Ling Yinong's words made Wang Chong smile.

After driving around the farm and getting acquainted with the terrain, Professor Ling and his assistant Huang Zhanqi focused on the nearby ecological issues.

It's a pity that the cultivated area on the farm is covered with a layer of loess by Wang, and the observation is not direct enough.

Professor Ling only took samples in the middle area to investigate, focusing on the northwest and south areas of the farm.

Wang Chong invited everyone to his home for dinner, but it was getting late, and Professor Ling did not refuse.

Chen Jinshan refused Wang Chong's invitation on the grounds that he still had something to deal with, and went directly back to the office of the development zone.

The high temperature in the scorching summer season has not yet dissipated, Wang Chong's car has just driven to the door of the house, he heard the sound of the car, wearing an apron, a black hair tied behind his head, and a splash wrapped in a turban from the kitchen.

"I'm back, how are things going......" Before the words fell, Shui Hua had already seen Professor Ling Yinong and the little black fat man Huang Zhanqi sitting in the car.

Wang Chong got out of the car with a smile on his face and explained to Professor Ling and the others: "Professor, this is my daughter-in-law Splash!" ”

He also introduced to Shui Hua: "This is Professor Ling Yinong I mentioned to you, this is his assistant, Comrade Huang Zhanqi, an expert in biology." ”

Shui Hua hurriedly wiped his hands on his apron, and said in Mandarin with a slight accent: "Professor Ling, Assistant Huang!" Hello! ”

People in this era have a heartfelt respect and admiration for those scientists who are knowledgeable and have extremely high academic research. Splash is like that.

"Hello Comrade Splash!"

Ling Yinong and Huang Zhanqi also greeted the splash.

"You sit down first, and then you can eat in a while!" Splash said with a bright smile.

"You go get busy first, I'll call Professor Ling and they'll be done!" Wang Zhong said.

"Done!"

"Professor Ling, Assistant Huang, don't be polite when you get home, just go back to your own home!"

Shui Hua smiled and nodded, smiled and politely said a few words to the two, and quickly went back to the kitchen and continued to work for everyone's dinner

"Professor Ling, Comrade Xiao Huang, there is an electric fan in the house, go up and sit in the house! Blow the fan and cool it down. Wang Zhong turned sideways and led his hand, smiled and warmly invited the two into the house.

Before Wang Zhong could make a move, two small heads suddenly stretched out from behind the gate, and two small figures came out.

"Daddy!" The two little people who were the size of a bean ding, as soon as they saw Wang Chong, showed a bright smile on their faces, their round eyes lit up instantly, and they happily crossed the threshold and ran to Wang Chong's side, one holding one leg, like two little bears.

"Daddy! Father! Eat sugar! Eat sugar! Pingshun hugged Wang Chong's thigh and didn't let go.

Ping An said: "Dad, I want to eat peach cake!" ”

The two brothers are gluttonous cats, they love to eat and play, both of them are still teething, where do Shui Hua and Li Laozhuan dare to let these two little ancestors eat too much.

Wang Zhong leaned down, picked up the two dolls one in one hand, turned his head to Professor Ling and said, "Let the two of you laugh, my two sons, Wang Ping'an and Wang Pingshun." ”

Although the two brothers are twins, they don't look much alike, the eldest son is more like a splash, and the younger son is more like Wang Zhong.

"This is Uncle Ling, Uncle Huang! Hurry up! ”

The two little guys looked at Professor Ling and the others in unison, their round and dark eyes flashing with curiosity, but they didn't open their mouths to shout.

Professor Ling looked at the two little guys, the corners of his mouth on both sides raised, showing a smile, looking at the two little guys who were very cute, and stretched out his hand to greet them, "Hello! ”

It's a pity that the two little guys were a little scared, and they immediately drilled into Wang Chong's arms in fright.

Wang Zhong said embarrassedly: "The child is small, and he is a little afraid of life!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Professor Ling waved his hand again and again, looked at the two little ones curiously, turned his head and asked Wang Chong: "Comrade Wang Chong, Ling Lang is a twin, right?" ”

Wang Zhong smiled and nodded: "The professor's eyes are like torches, they are indeed twins!" ”

"Comrade Wang Chong is blessed!" Huang Zhanqi said with a smile.

At this time, family planning has been going on for several years, and there are fines for overbirths, and those who knowingly commit crimes in public office and in state-owned enterprises are likely to lose their jobs.

"It's my daughter-in-law who is blessed!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Wang Chong, you ·······" Li Laozhuan appeared behind the door with a smile on his face, and just wanted to say something, when he saw the strange two people beside Wang Chong, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and couldn't help but look at the two curiously: "These two are?" ”

"My father-in-law, this is Professor Ling and Comrade Xiao Huang, who are great experts in wind prevention and sand control and Juncao cultivation."

"It turned out to be Professor Ling! Please please! Although Li Laozhuan didn't understand much, just listening to what kind of big expert he was, he knew that he was a very powerful person, and this professor looked very powerful, where did Li Laozhuan dare to slack off, and quickly greeted the two warmly into the house.

"This is my father-in-law, Li Laolian, who lives with us and usually helps us take care of the children!" Wang Zhong introduced the two.

"Brother Li!" Ling Yinong took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Li Laoshuan.

Li Laozhuan was a little flattered and shook hands with Ling Yinong.

Although Ling Yinong's clothes are simple, his temperament, which is very different from ordinary people, is like a firefly in the night, so dazzling that people can't ignore it.

Seeing that the two grandsons were being held by Wang Chong, without Wang Chong's shouting, Li Laozhuan took the initiative to find the two tea jars, poured two halves of the enamel jar of herbal tea, and served it to the two people sitting at the table.

"Professor Ling, drink tea!" Li Laozhuan is quite dog-legged.

Professor Ling squeezed out a smile and was very polite: "Brother Li, thank you!" ”

"Comrade Xiao Huang! Drink tea! ”

"Thank you, uncle! Thank you, uncle! ”

"What's polite, it's just some coarse tea! Will be drunk! Don't dislike it! ”

Li Laozhuan smiled and took the two babies outside to play, so that Wang Chonghao could talk to Ling Yinong and them without being disturbed.

Professor Ling took a sip of the tea jar, suddenly his eyes froze, his eyes instantly brightened a little, his expression changed accordingly, he brought the enamel jar in his hand to his eyes, a little surprised and a little curious, carefully looked at the tea inside, and then handed it to his mouth and took another sip, carefully reminisced about it, and then looked at Wang Chong with some surprise: "Xinyang Maojian?" ”

"Professor Ling is amazing!" Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up: "It is indeed the tip of Xinyang's hair!" During the Chinese New Year, a friend who had cooperated with me gave it away! But we don't know how to taste tea, it's all blind drinking, if you like it, I'll give you a pack to taste after eating later. ”

This friend who has cooperated is none other than Wang Quanfu Wang Fatzi, who is engaged in decoration in Haiji County, and the cooperation between Wang Zhong and Wang Quanfu has not ended, and will continue to cooperate in the future.

Professor Ling shook his head again and again: "No, no, no! ”

After greeting for a while, Wang Chong took the two of them to see the room where they stayed tonight.

"In the past few days, I can only grieve the two of you to live here temporarily!" The spacious wing room is a large kang by the window, which is covered with straw mats, and a kang table is placed in the middle of the big kang.

Wang Chong's slippers stepped on the kang, pushed open the sliding door of the wall cabinet, took out the quilt and blanket from the inside, and took out a fan, and said: "The conditions at home are simple, if it is hot at night, you can only blow the fan, and the southernmost room outside is the bathroom and toilet." ”

"Oh! Oh, and there are new toothpastes, toothbrushes, slippers and towels! ”

Ling Yinong and Huang Zhanqi stood by the kang with some surprise, looking around at the wing room that Wang Chong said was used for guests.

A kang connects things, the window is on the west side, and there is a wall cabinet on the end of the kang on the east side, the style is quite novel.

"Professor Ling, Comrade Xiao Huang, then you take a rest first, and when the meal is ready, I will call you again."

Saying that, Wang Zhong had already retreated.

In the room, Huang Zhanqi looked around, with surprise on his face: "Professor, are we still in Haiji?" ”

It's not that Wang Chong's wing room is prosperous and how elaborate the layout is, but it is clean and tidy, the ground is covered with wooden floors, the walls are scraped with putty, the walls are painted, and the ceiling is hanged.

Professor Ling was also quite surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved: "People are also brick kilns and farms, and it is not strange to have some money to make the house more beautiful." ”

"Professor, you said that these immigrants who came to Jiaozhuang were all because their lives in Xihaigu were too poor and miserable, so they came all the way to Yuquan Yingjiaozhuang under the unified arrangement of the government."

Huang Zhanqi said suspiciously: "But this Wang Chong, I don't look like a poor man no matter how I see him, why did he follow him to hang the village?" ”

Professor Ling and Huang Zhanqi were invited by the Fujian Provincial Poverty Alleviation Group to plant Juncao and mushrooms, and then promote the cultivation of mushrooms with grass in the Yuquanying Economic Development Zone, so that the people here can grow mushrooms and implement the courtyard economy of mushroom cultivation, so that the people here can have an extra income and improve their living conditions.

But as Huang Zhanqi said, Wang Chong's economic conditions are not at all compatible with backwardness and poverty.

Thinking of this, Professor Ling suddenly sounded during the day, Chen Jinshan's words, and his face suddenly became a little serious.

"Perhaps, like us, he is here to help the people here and develop and get rich!"

The doubts on Huang Zhanqi's face gradually dissipated, during the day, when Chen Jinshan and Wang Chong came to visit Ling Yinong, he followed him, and he heard what Professor Ling heard.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhanqi's mind suddenly moved, and he looked at Ling Yinong: "Professor! Are we really going to experiment on his farm? ”

Professor Ling sat on the edge of the kang table, his eyes a little thoughtful: "If I can, I really want to experiment on his farm." ”

"As they said, this one called Wang Chong has money, place, and is willing to support our research, and our research is beneficial to both him and the people here, as long as we cultivate grass seeds that can adapt to the special environment here, we can promote it throughout the Yuquan camp."

"And when the time comes, we not only need the government's overall help, but also need the trust of the local people, if we can slowly gain the trust of the people at the same time of the experiment, then for the task of the people, there will be no harm, and even to a certain extent, let us spend a lot less time."

"You must know that the sooner our experiment succeeds and the sooner Juncao is promoted, the sooner we can solve the problem of ecological destruction and massive desertification of the soil, and turn the desert into an oasis; It can also allow the people here to plant bisporus mushrooms one day earlier, increase their income and improve their lives one day earlier. ”

Whether it is Professor Ling and others or government cadres like Chen Jinshan and Wu Yuejuan, they have traveled thousands of miles to this bitter cold place in the northwest to blow the sand all day long, eat sand and drink soil, and they also invest 15 million yuan every year to build villages, schools, hospitals, banks, and roads, in order to help the people in Ningxia increase their incomes, improve their living standards, and change the current situation of poverty and backwardness.

"Professor!" Huang Zhanqi looked at Ling Yinong with burning eyes, with indomitable firmness in his eyes: "I understand!" ”

"Alright, let's clean up and put our things away."

"Okay professor!"

······

At the dinner table, the aroma of mutton came to the face, which was different from the taste in the impression of Professor Ling and Huang Zhanqi, and there was no smell of fishy smell in the rich meat aroma.

Wang Chong took a soup spoon and long chopsticks, scooped up several pieces of lamb with belt bones, and put them into Professor Ling's bowl.

While holding it back, he said: "The countrymen, there is nothing to entertain, don't mind, professor, this is our unique beach sheep in Ningxia, which is raised by the people in the village themselves, which is completely different from the sheep in other places, and has also been to the state banquet!" ”

"You must try it!"

"Comrade Wang Chong, don't be so polite, let's just clip it ourselves!" Professor Ling hurriedly picked up the bowl and took the mutton that Wang Chong had scooped over.

"It's just out of the pot, the professor is careful to burn!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" The enthusiasm of Wang Chong's family made Professor Ling and Huang Zhanqi a little uncomfortable.

Wang Chong smiled and scooped another spoonful and gave it to Huang Zhanqi: "Comrade Xiao Huang, come on, come on, you can also eat a few more pieces!" ”

"Thank you, Comrade Wang Chong!" Huang Zhanqi looked flattered: "I'll just come by myself!" ”

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Cheng! Then I won't be polite to you, since you came, treat this place as your own home, you should eat, drink, what is missing, just say a word, don't be polite to us! ”

Ling Yinong took a bite of mutton, his expression immediately changed, he gave a thumbs up, and couldn't help but praise: "Fragrant!" ”

"Fragrant but not fatty, fresh but not greasy, the meat is tender and firm, no wonder it can be served at the state banquet, it is really a delicacy that is difficult to find in the world."

After Huang Zhanqi tasted it, he also gave a thumbs up and praised it again and again.

Wang Chongdao: "The ancients grouped fish and sheep together and called it fresh. ”

"There is no shortage of seafood near the coast of Fujian Province, but our Ningxia is inland in the northwest, and we can't eat Shanghai, so we can only eat mutton!"

"With this beach sheep, it has been fully saved!" Professor Ling praised.

After chatting for a few words, Wang Chong took the opportunity to say: "Professor, compared with others, our local people in Xihaigu and Yuquanying, and even the villagers under the entire Helan Mountain, are most familiar with farming and raising sheep!" ”

"You let the villagers do something else, the villagers may have to learn slowly, it varies from person to person, and the progress of learning is not the same, but if they let them raise sheep, let alone us adults, even eight or nine-year-old dolls, for them, it is as simple as eating and drinking."

"Raising Tan sheep is indeed a way out!" Professor Ling nodded and said in agreement.

After tasting it myself, I knew the deliciousness of Tan sheep.

Huang Zhanqi couldn't help nodding: "Such a delicious beach sheep, if it can be sold, it is indeed a way to get rich." ”

If the rural areas want to get rich, they can't do without raising and planting.

"It's a pity that the ecological damage is too great now, if we promote Tan sheep breeding now, then the ecological balance that we are trying to maintain now will be completely broken!" Wang shook his head and said calmly and regretfully.

Ling Yinong looked at Wang Chong and admired and recognized Wang Chong a little more: "Comrade Wang Chong is very right, the common people want to get rich, the economy must develop, and the society must progress, but it cannot be established on the premise of destroying nature and ecology. ”

Wang Chong raised his eyes and looked at Ling Yinong and said: "Our ancestors did not know how to protect nature and protect the ecology. A few grains do not enter the pond, and the fish and turtles cannot be eaten. The axe enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the timber and wood are not usable, which shows that the ancients also understood the truth of sustainable development. ”

"But in recent decades, the population has become more and more, and people have inevitably caused a lot of devastating damage to the ecology in order to survive, so what we need now is not only economic development, but also sustainable development under the premise of protecting and restoring the ecology, and getting rich."

"What we need to improve is not only the standard of material living, but also the natural environment on which we live."

"Professor Ling!" Wang Zhong picked up the teapot, poured most of the liquor into the teapot, looked at Ling Yinong, and said: "I really want to invite you to come to my farm to do experiments, and I am willing to bear all the costs of the experiment." ”

After that, Wang Zhong picked up the teapot and gurgled, and in about ten seconds, half a jar of spirits was poured into his stomach.

Professor Ling stretched out his hand to persuade Wang Chong, but before he could speak, Wang Chong dried up the wine in three or two clicks, and watched Wang Chong put down the tea jar, Professor Ling's eyes were a little complicated: "Comrade Wang Chong, if we really do experiments on your farm, you may not be able to grow crops in the area of the experiment in a few years, you have to think clearly." ”

"Professor Ling, since I went to invite you, I naturally had already prepared in my heart."

"If you are willing to come over and take a fancy to that place, you can tell me directly, and I have no shortage of machines and people here, what do you want, even if you command, my more than 100 catties of meat will be sent by you."

Shui Hua looked at her sonorous husband, and remembered that last night, after the couple made love, he asked Wang Chong how he planned to invite this Professor Ling out of the mountain, and Wang Chong said at that time: "This Professor Ling is a top academic expert with noble character, dedicated to the people, and out of low-level interests. ”
