The sky in my hometown is still the same as before, as soon as the wind blows, the yellow sand fills the sky, and the sky, the ground, and the houses and even the people have become the color of the earthy yellow earth.

Huo Mingjie, whose skin was so white that it seemed to be incompatible with his hometown, easily jumped up the steps of the reservoir at this time, looking at the large plantation in front of him.

The vast expanse of loess still looks extremely barren, except for a few areas where there are a hundred and ten sparse trees with small branches.

It seems that this should be the old man's achievements this year.

It feels a little pitiful, and it doesn't seem to have changed much from last year.

But if you think about it, you think it's normal!

It takes a few years to plant a fruit tree in a normal place, let alone such a harsh environment in my hometown!

And this time last year, there was really nothing in this place, so I barely built a dilapidated house for people to rest and put some farm tools or something.

Now, in just one year, asphalt roads, cisterns, irrigation systems have been built, bungalows have been built, and even power lines have been ripped over.

Looking at it this way, it is already quite a step forward!

With this as a foundation, this plantation, which still looks barren today, will sooner or later become different!

At this time, Old Man Huo was standing next to the reservoir, looking at Huo Mingjie with his head raised and smiling.

In his hand, he was also carrying a plastic bag, which contained washed and water-stained dates.

The old man took out a handful from it, handed it to Huo Mingjie, and then said:

"Let's try it, this is the fruit of the jujube tree planted here this year, although the fruit is very small after grafting, but it tastes okay!"

The old man, who had been blowing sand on the plantation for a year, now looked nothing wrong except that it was a little darker, and even looked more energetic.

Otherwise, I still have to find something to do for the elderly!

The matter of controlling sand is something he has been thinking about for most of his life, and he is energetic for it every day, not to mention that he usually does not ask him to work much himself.

If this is not the case, the uncle and nephew will not worry about letting the old man toss blindly!

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he immediately took it with a smile, and then stuffed one into his mouth and tasted it.

Well, although it was planted by the old man.

But in good conscience, this date can only be said to be not unpalatable, but it doesn't taste special, and it doesn't look full and round enough, and it's not attractive......

Huo Mingjie thought about it for a while, and could only say:

"It's okay, pretty good......"

"So in the future, we will plant jujube trees in the garden?" Huo Mingjie couldn't help but ask.

When the old man heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said:

"This jujube is actually of average quality, the knot is still less, and the cost is not very cost-effective!"

If you want to rely on large-scale tree planting to clean up the environment, it must be profitable at least, otherwise not so many people would want to come here and eat sand!

"My student and I researched it and decided that the jujube trees were worthless to plant, and the grapes could not be grown, so now there are only apricot trees and apples left......

Hearing Apple, Huo Mingjie suddenly had a little impression again.

The old man and his students seemed to want to plant apple trees at first, and the other types of fruit trees were just to try.

And Huo Mingjie still remembers that in his vague memory, there are also deeds of planting apple trees to control desertification......

"Where is the apple tree?" Huo Mingjie couldn't help but ask.

The old man smiled when he heard this, then stretched out his hand and pointed to a sparse tree in front of him, and said:

"That's the ...... over there But now it's not really an apple tree, it's a mountain lich tree! ”

"Mountain Tree Tree?"

The old man nodded and patiently explained:

"Apple trees need to be grafted, and choosing the right parent can preserve their goodness."

"My former student, who taught at the Agricultural University, suggested that I try it, saying that this tree is more cold and drought tolerant, and is suitable for our climate here. In addition, the trees themselves can also be carved or carpentered, so they are still valuable. ”

This mountain clove is a plant of the genus Apple in the family Rosaceae, and the apple tree is a relative.

Moreover, it is easy to reproduce, drought tolerant and cold-tolerant, and bears early and abundant fruits, which is especially suitable for grafting apples.

The old man's student is obviously attentive to the advice given by the plantation side!

Speaking of this, the old man paused, and continued to look at Huo Mingjie and said:

"Neither the apricot tree nor the mountain stator tree can produce fruit in a year or two. So in recent years, the plantation side still needs to explore and try, and it will not be so quick to bear fruit. ”

There is a saying that the peach has three apricots and four plums for five years, and the jujube tree is sold for money that year.

Among so many fruit trees, in fact, jujube trees are more special, and they can bear fruit when they are properly cared for. The rest, but it will take a few years to bear fruit.

What's more, in such a harsh environment, it takes even longer to find suitable cash crops for the local area!

The old man said so many words, in fact, he was explaining to Huo Mingjie, the big boss behind the scenes.

After all, the majority of the money for the plantation was given by Huo Mingjie. In any case, it is important to tell us more about the plantation.

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie jumped down the steps on the cistern with light steps, and then looked at the old man in front of him and smiled:

"Money is not a big deal, I can give you some more money!"

The old man has built this plantation, and it has not been used for 300,000 yuan until now.

This amount of money, even if Huo Mingjie just doesn't do anything, the bank interest for a month is higher than this......

The old man has always been transparent, and naturally did not refuse Huo Mingjie's kindness, and agreed without twisting.

Huo Mingjie stepped forward to hold the old man's arm and said:

"Let's go, let's go back!"

Hearing that he was going back, the old man nodded, but he couldn't help but look around a few times.

"What about the shaders?"

The three of them came over together just now, but at this time, they didn't know where Huo Chengyin had gone.

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said:

"He's in the car!"

Huo Chengyin dragged Huo Mingjie this time, and the two worked hard all the way, taking turns to drive back to their hometown.

His original intention was to return to his hometown in fine clothes and drive back in a luxury car.

But Huo Chengyin forgot about the harsh environment in his hometown!

When it was winding here, there was basically sand and gravel blowing up.

The thing crackled and hit the car, easily scratching one mark after another on the body.

Huo Chengyin, a luxury car that he had just bought for less than two months, had already been scarred in only two days after returning to his hometown, which made him feel distressed.

At this time, if the old man talked about the sand control in his hometown in front of him, I was afraid that Huo Chengyin would definitely raise his hands and feet in favor.

Not for anything else, just to make it easier for me to drive a luxury car back to my hometown in the future......
