"Tianwang, are you here?" Luo Changqing immediately greeted Luo Tianwang warmly.

"Uncle Changqing, I'll come over to discuss something with you. Luo Tianwang said.

"Silly things? Luo Changqing asked.

"Most of the fields in our village are deserted. It's a pity. Isn't my family running a vegetable chain store? I just want to gather all the fields in my village and transform them a little bit to grow rice or vegetables. Now the labor cost is too high, and there is no way to cultivate it without transforming it into a machine-cultivated field. Luo Tianwang said.

"That's right. It's not like no one thinks so. Nowadays, it is often reported in the news that in some places, all the fields have been transferred to some contractors. People often have thousands of acres and acres of rice fields. This little field in our village is nothing at all. However, the biggest problem is that everyone else is a plain, and our half-hilly and half-mountain forests have to be transformed into mechanized fields, which is too costly. It costs a lot of money just to build roads. Even if the people in the village wanted to, they couldn't do it. You have to think about it, if you invest a lot, you may not make any money at all. Luo Changqing knows that the transformation of machine-cultivated fields is a big investment.

"Of course I thought about it. When I went back to the village, I just wanted our village to take a new path. Most of the fields in our village are barren, and if this continues, the whole village will be barren. Luo Tianwang said.

Luo Changqing lit a cigarette: "Sooner or later, the village will be barren." The population of our village reached more than 1,000 at its peak. Now there are nearly 1,000 people registered in the village. But usually there are two or three hundred people living in the village. Most of them are elderly, but there are also some small children. In addition, education is now available in the city, and many migrant workers have brought their children with them. After that, there were only children left in the village. ”

"But if we can make full use of the land in Shuikoumiao Town, build up the industry, and combine the green mountains and green waters of our Shuikoumiao, the situation will be different. There are more opportunities at home, and young people will choose to come back to start their own businesses. If there are more people, this village will naturally not be deserted. Luo Tianwang said.

"You young people just think a lot. Why? This time I came back, I didn't really want to plant a few acres of land at home, but I wanted to do a career, right?" Luo Changqing asked.

Luo Tianwang smiled: "Before I came back, I really just wanted to plant one or two acres of land, plant a few acres of vegetable land, worry about food and clothing, and live a peaceful and stable life." But if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to be stable in this day. If the village is gone, there will be no taste of staying in Ho Ma Wan. ”

"Not really. Now the number of old people in the village is slowly decreasing, and in another ten or eight years, I am afraid that this village will be deserted. Luo Changqing let out a long sigh. In the distance, there was still mourning in the group, and I didn't know which family was doing the funeral.

"I'm going to take my time in this matter, and now I'm going to hold a pilot in the village to see what is most appropriate. When the pilot is successful, try it on a larger scale. Luo Tianwang said.

"Tianwang, if you really want to do it, you should do it as soon as possible. There are also many people who are working on these farmland ideas. If you're late, you'll probably be the first to go. Luo Changqing reminded.

Luo Tianwang was not worried: "This is fine." If someone had done it earlier, it would have been easier for me. ”

Luo Tianwang ran outside, and when he returned home, Li Shishi had already cleaned up the house neatly. And into the kitchen, I was frowning and thinking about how to make breakfast.

"Are you hungry? You can't control this firewood house. I'll do it anyway. We'll have to clean up the kitchen for another day. Luo Tianwang hurriedly walked over and took firewood from Li Shishi's hand.

Luo Tianwang was like performing a magic trick, and he suddenly made the fire in the stove burn. While lighting the fire, he said to Li Shishi: "Just now I went to the village party secretary's house and discussed with him about transforming the machine-cultivated field. I'm going to try to transform a few acres of paddy fields into mechanized fields to accumulate experience and prepare for the construction of a farm. ”

Li Shishi was a little surprised: "Aren't you going to live a quiet life? Why do you want to do this again?"

"Shishi, have you noticed that He Mawan is a little different from the last time you came here?" Luo Tianwang asked.

Li Shishi nodded: "It's too quiet, it's a little scary." It was broad daylight, and there was no sound outside. This silence makes me feel a little hairy. Maybe I haven't adapted to the rural situation yet. ”

Luo Tianwang shook his head: "You are right. Ho Ma Wan is too quiet now, because there are fewer people here every year. Maybe in another ten or twenty years, this place will become an empty village. ”

"You want to revitalize Ho Ma Wan? It's not an easy thing to do. Nowadays, it is the general trend for young people to run to the city, and there is no way to stop it by personal strength. Li Shishi shook her head.

"It's man-made. There's always a way. Luo Tianwang said.

"No matter what. I've got your back. Li Shishi said.

For breakfast on this day, Luo Tianwang ordered two bowls of rice noodles. One person added two eggs. Yesterday, when the people from the village came over, they brought some eggs. The rice noodles are also processed by the villagers themselves, and are not decolorized. Although the color is not particularly white, the taste is pure. In the rice, there is some homemade chili sauce from the villagers, and some chopped green onions. Although the rice noodles are not as good as those in the shops in the city, the taste is original and full of texture.

"It's still delicious in the countryside!" Li Shishi drank all the soup in the bowl, and then patted her stomach gently.

"You just eat fresh and think it's delicious. When you eat too much, you won't feel that way. Luo Tianwang said.

"No, you can't get tired of eating such food every day. Li Shishi said.

"Okay, I'll let you eat no matter how you eat in the future. Changing tricks to make you eat. Luo Tianwang said with a smile.

"Thank you. Li Shishi's face was full of happiness, and she said with a smile, "I feel that my life is very solid now." Actually, when I came, I was still a little afraid that one day I would regret it. But now I feel like I made the right choice. In fact, life is so short, chasing everything that can never reach the limit will be very tiring and tiring. Instead, you will forget the true meaning of life. In fact, there are not so many people who need them. Why do you have to live so tired?"

Luo Tianwang nodded: "Many people understand this truth. However, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. ”

"What are we doing during the day today?" asked Li Shishi.

"I'll take you to see our pond during the day. I don't know if there are any loaches inside. Luo Tianwang said with some concern.

There are a lot of people fishing with electricity in the countryside, and when he was at home in the past, someone came to poach fish, but now he has been out for so many years, but I am afraid that the pond has been electrocuted by others many times. The harm of electrofishing is great, and after electrofishing, the loaches and eels in the field are all swept away. Many fish species in the waters have been wiped out by electrofishing. The loaches in the paddy fields are also on the verge of extinction.

The trees around the pond are lush and green, and the bayberry tree next to the pond is already very tall, and the huge canopy almost covers the entire pond like a huge umbrella cover. Several hairy peach trees are also unusually green, with trunks two or three times larger than ordinary peach trees.

The water in the pond is as green as jade, and as soon as Luo Tianwang and Li Shishi get close to the pond, there are loaches swimming out of the pond and constantly jumping in the water. Luo Tianwang could feel their joy.

"Wow! these loaches are so cute!" Li Shishi exclaimed.

Luo Tianwang put his hand into the pond, and immediately countless loaches gathered. The pond is full of black and crushed loaches.

"So many loaches!" Li Shishi squatted down in surprise and put her hand into the pond.

When those loaches passed by Li Shishi's hand, they would touch it, but they quickly left and swam in the direction of Luo Tianwang's hand. Luo Tianwang seemed to have a large group of loaches stuck to his hands. Wherever Luo Tianwang's hands go, they will follow.

"Why do they like you so much?" asked Li Shishi a little sourly.

"Who made me love everyone and see flowers bloom?" Luo Tianwang said with a smile.

"Stinky beauty. Li Shishi pouted.

"I'm going to expand this pond and turn it into a fish pond. In this way, there can be more loaches in it. In the future, it can be used as seedlings in the rice field. In a field with a lot of loaches, the soil will be looser and more fertile. This makes it possible to spend as little as possible. Luo Tianwang said.

"Well," Li Shishi didn't know anything about farming.

Luo Tianwang filled the basin with nearly a burst of loaches and used it as a delicious dish of Chinese food. The loaches in this pond are much more fleshy than ordinary wild loaches.

Luo Tianwang was a little puzzled: there are so many loaches in this pond, why are they not targeted by those people in the village who use electricity to fish?

There is no network signal at home, and the mobile phone signal is not very good, so it is difficult to connect to the Internet. The two of them basically didn't have their mobile phones with them. Without a mobile phone, it's easier to discover a lot of interesting things. You get more out of it than you get out of it.

The two climbed to the top of the hill and overlooked Ho Ma Wan. Or watch the white clouds in the sky, or listen to the birds singing in the mountains, or close your eyes and feel the breeze. How can this kind of freedom, this kind of happiness, be appreciated by people on the go?

When they return home, one cooks and the other chooses vegetables, or one lights the fire and the other sits quietly next to the stove and watches the flames flicker in the hearth.

To make loaches, you can't heat the pot first, but put the loaches in a cold pan first, and then cover the lid. The heat is urgent, and the pot will make a ping-pong sound. Wait until the sound has subsided, then open the lid and pour canola oil along the rim of the pan. Fry the loach in oil, then add the chili pepper and stir-fry until the fragrance is just right, add some seasonings, and a delicious dish is made. It's a bit cruel to do this, but that's how the world works. If it is fish, it must be slashed.
