"Tianwang, are you here?" Luo Changqing greeted Luo Tianwang warmly immediately upon seeing him.
"Uncle Changqing, let me come over to discuss something with you." Luo Tianwang said.
"Silly things? Just say it." Luo Changqing asked.
"Most of the fields in our village are deserted. It's a pity. Doesn't my family run a vegetable chain store? I just want to collect all the fields in our village and renovate them a little. They can be used to grow rice or vegetables.
Okay. Now the labor cost is too high. If we don’t convert it into mechanical farming, there will be no way to farm." Luo Tianwang said.
"That's the truth. It's not like no one has thought about it. It's often reported in the news now that all the fields in some places have been transferred to some contracted households. They often have thousands of acres of rice fields. The land in our village simply doesn't exist.
Nothing. But the biggest problem is that other people are in the plains, and our semi-hilly and semi-mountainous forest is too expensive to transform into mechanized farmland. Just building roads will cost a lot of money. Even if the villagers want to, they can’t.
There's a way to do it. You have to think carefully. It's a big investment, and you might not make any money at all." Luo Changqing knows that the transformation of mechanized farmland is a big investment.
"Of course I have thought about it. When I returned to the village, I just wanted our village to take a new path. Most of the fields in our village are deserted. If this continues, the whole village will be deserted." Luo Tianwang said.
Luo Changqing lit a cigarette: "Sooner or later, the village will be deserted. The population of our village reached more than a thousand at its highest. Now there are nearly a thousand people on the village's household registration. But usually there are only two people living in the village at most.
Three hundred people. Most of them are old people, and there are some children. Moreover, now you can enjoy compulsory education in the city, and many people who go out to work bring their children with them. From now on, only children will be left in the village."
"But if we can make full use of the land in Shuikou Temple Town to develop industries, and combine it with the green mountains and green waters of Shuikou Temple, the situation will be different. There will be more opportunities at our doorstep, and young people will choose to come back.
If there are more people starting a business, this village will naturally not be abandoned." Luo Tianwang said.
"You young people have so many ideas. What's wrong? You don't really want to plant a few acres of land at home this time, but you want to do a career, right?" Luo Changqing asked.
Luo Tianwang chuckled: "Before I came back, I really just wanted to plant an acre or two of fields and a few acres of vegetable land, have no worries about food and clothing, and live a peaceful life. But if this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live a stable life. If the village
No more, and staying in Ho Ma Wan no longer has that feeling."
"No. The number of elderly people in the village is slowly decreasing now. In ten or eight years, I'm afraid this village will be deserted." Luo Changqing sighed. Which group in the distance was still singing mourning music, and I don't know which one was there.
Have a funeral.
"I am going to take this matter slowly. Now we will conduct a pilot project in the village to see how the operation is most suitable. After the pilot is successful, we will try it on a larger scale." Luo Tianwang said.
"Tianwang, if you really want to do it, you have to do it early. There are many people who are interested in these farmlands. If you take action late, someone might take advantage of you first." Luo Changqing reminded.
Luo Tianwang was not worried: "It's okay. If someone had done this in advance, it would have saved me more trouble."
Luo Tianwang went out for a run, and when he got home, Li Shishi had tidied up the house. He also entered the kitchen, frowning and thinking about how to make breakfast.
"Are you hungry? You can't control this firewood room. Let me do it. We have to build a kitchen for burning liquefied gas another day." Luo Tianwang hurriedly walked over and took the firewood from Li Shishi's hand.
As if performing a magic trick, Luo Tianwang suddenly made the fire in the stove burn brightly. While lighting the fire, he said to Li Shishi: "I just went to the village party secretary's house to discuss with him the renovation of mechanical farming. I'm going to start with
Let’s try converting a few acres of rice fields into mechanical farming fields to gain experience and prepare for building a farm.”
Li Shishi was a little surprised: "Aren't you planning to live a quiet life? Why do you think of doing this again?"
"Shishi, have you noticed that He Mawan is different now from the last time you came here?" Luo Tianwang asked.
Li Shishi nodded: "It's too quiet, so quiet that it's a bit scary. It's broad daylight, and there's no sound at all outside. This kind of quietness makes me feel a little scared. Maybe it's because I haven't adapted to the current situation in this rural area."
Luo Tianwang shook his head: "You are right. He Mawan is too quiet now, because there are fewer and fewer people here every year. Maybe in ten or twenty years, this place will become an empty village."
"You want to revitalize Ho Ma Wan? This is not an easy task. Nowadays, it is a general trend for young people to run to the city, and there is no way to stop it with personal power alone." Li Shishi shook her head.
"Everything depends on human effort. There will always be a way." Luo Tianwang said.
"No matter what, I will support you." Li Shishi said.
For breakfast that day, Luo Tianwang had two bowls of rice noodles. Each person added two eggs. When the villagers came yesterday, they brought some eggs. The rice noodles were also processed by the villagers themselves and were not decolorized. Although the color is not special.
It is white, but has a pure taste. The rice is mixed with some homemade chili sauce made by the villagers, and some minced green onions are added. Although the appearance is not as good as the rice noodles in the shops in the city, the taste is original and full of texture.
"The food in the countryside is still delicious!" Li Shishi drank all the soup in the bowl, then patted her belly gently.
"You just eat it fresh and think it tastes good. When you eat more, you won't feel that way anymore." Luo Tianwang said.
"No, you won't get tired of eating this kind of delicacy every day," Li Shishi said.
"Well, from now on I will let you eat whatever you want and never get tired of it. I will try different ways to get it for you." Luo Tianwang said with a smile.
"Thank you." Li Shishi's face was filled with happiness and she said with a smile, "I feel that my life is very solid now. In fact, when I came here, I was still a little afraid that one day I would regret it. But now I feel that my choice is right.
.In fact, life is so short. Chasing everything that can never reach its limit will be very tiring. On the contrary, you will forget the true meaning of life. In fact, people do not need that much. Why live so tiredly?"
Luo Tianwang nodded: "Many people understand this truth. However, people in the world cannot help themselves."
"What are we doing during the day today?" Li Shishi asked.
"I'll take you to see our pond during the day. I wonder if there are any loaches in it." Luo Tianwang said with some worry.
There are many people who use electric fishing in the countryside. When he was at home, people would come over to steal fish. Now that he has been out for so many years, he is afraid that the pond has been electrocuted countless times by others. The dangers of electrofishing
It’s huge. After electrofishing, all the loaches and eels in the fields were wiped out. Many fish species in the waters have been driven to extinction by electrofishing. The loaches in the paddy fields are also almost extinct.
The trees around the pond are lush and lush. The bayberry tree beside the pond is already very tall. Its huge crown almost covers the entire pond like a huge umbrella. Several peach trees are also extremely green, and their trunks are larger than ordinary peach trees.
Two or three times bigger.
The water in the pond was as green as jade. As soon as Luo Tianwang and Li Shishi approached the pond, loaches swam out of the pond and kept 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 countless loaches immediately gathered over him. The pond was completely dark and filled with loaches.
"So many loaches!" Li Shishi squatted down in surprise and stretched her hand into the pond.
When those loaches pass by Li Shishi's hands, they will touch them, but then quickly leave and swim in the direction of Luo Tianwang's hand. Luo Tianwang seems to have a large group of loaches stuck to his hand. Wherever Luo Tianwang's hand goes, they will follow
where.
"Why do they like you so much?" Li Shishi asked a little sourly.
"Who made me love everyone and make flowers bloom?" Luo Tianwang said with a smile.
"Smelly." Li Shishi curled her lips.
"I plan to expand this pond and turn it into a fish pond. In this way, more loaches can be raised in it. In the future, they can be used as seedlings and put into rice fields. In fields with many loaches, the soil will be looser and more fertile.
This way you can spend as little money as possible," Luo Tianwang said.
"Well," Li Shishi knew nothing about farming.
Luo Tianwang filled a basin with nearly a dozen loaches, which he used as a delicacy for Chinese meals. The meat of the loaches in this pond was much stronger than that of ordinary wild loaches.
Luo Tianwang was a little puzzled: There were so many loaches in the pond, why weren't they targeted by those who used electric fishing in the village?
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 don’t carry their mobile phones with them. Without mobile phones, it is easier to discover many interesting things. The fun they get from it is actually more than
Get more from your phone.
Two people climbed to the top of the mountain and overlooked Ho Ma Wan. They could either look at the white clouds in the sky, or listen to the singing of birds in the mountains, or close their eyes and feel the breeze blowing on their faces. How can such freedom and happiness be achieved by people who are running around?
Can you appreciate it?
Back home, one of the two cooks and the other chooses the vegetables; or one makes a fire and the other sits quietly next to it, watching the flames swaying in the stove.
To make loach, you cannot heat the pot first. Instead, put the loach into a cold pot first, and then close the lid. When heated over high heat, there will be a ping-ping-pong-pong sound in the pot. Wait until the sound stops, then open the lid.
, pour rapeseed oil along the edge of the pot. Deep-fry the loach, then add chili peppers and stir-fry until the aroma is just right, add some seasonings, and a delicious dish is made. It is a bit cruel to cook this way,
But the road in the world is like this. If you want to eat fish and meat, you must pass through the knife.
