Jiang Hua stayed in the county for two days and searched for information on apple cultivation. There was not much ready-made information, mainly because the current research is biased towards staple foods, so there is not much information on fruits like apples.
It's almost time.
As the weather gradually warms up, the winter snow turns into spring water, nourishing the earth. The dry Loess Plateau absorbs this God-given moisture, which in turn nourishes the crops on the Loess Plateau.
True to his word, Ma Guiping took the county leaders to Ishikawa Village in a small jeep. The director was relatively strong and wandered around the fields with his hands behind his back, conveying his spirit to the staff around him from time to time.
The director pointed to the experimental field and said: "The growth of these two acres of land is completely different. It is much stronger than other crops."
Jiang Hua stood next to him and said: "This is our experimental compost field. The fertilizer applied is fermented compost, which is relatively fertile, so the growth is much better."
"Is this good? You intellectuals go to the countryside to receive re-education, and you also need to pass on your knowledge to the farmers. This combination will definitely build our country well."
"Okay, the director said it well."
The staff member next to the director began to applaud and cheer, leading others to start applauding as well. It is no wonder that he is the person next to the leader. This person has great eyesight and has profound skills in admiration and follow-up.
The director walked around the village and saw potatoes and pumpkins growing here and there, and his face immediately dropped.
"You are free and undisciplined. Are you treating the fields as your own private land?"
Chang Gui was so scared that Jiang Hua stepped forward and said: "Leader, these are collective. Isn't it because the land in Ishikawa Village is limited? We must cherish every piece of open land that can be planted and provide more food to support the country!"
The director then returned to normal, nodded and said: "The spirit of Ishikawa Village must be carried forward. Not only will the country support more, but they themselves will also get more, killing two birds with one stone!"
Jiang Hua immediately followed suit: "The leader is the leader. He can see the key points at a glance. Because of this, the enthusiasm of the villagers is very high now."
The director came to the compost pit and saw that the village had begun to use composting techniques. He also praised it and said: "That's it. You have to be decisive when doing business. Once there is an effect, you should start immediately. The food problem is not a small one."
We must seize every opportunity to increase production."
After looking around the whole village, I looked at the cave dwelling of the educated young man and saw that the group of chicks had grown up now.
The director pointed at the chicken and asked, "What's going on?"
Jiang Hua introduced: "We put earthworms in the compost to improve the fertilizer. The earthworms are washed and cooked before being ground into powder. They are just the best chicken feed. This group of chickens has only been growing for more than three months, and they are almost ready."
Eggs are laid.”
Seeing the displeasure on the director's face, Jiang Hua added: "These are collective property."
"Well, very good. We must not only strengthen food production, but also enrich these agricultural and sideline products. If we have good ideas, we must put them into practice. You educated youths have played a very good role."
The director was satisfied with what he saw, and he wasn't going to eat in Ishikawa Village anymore, because he knew before coming that this was a poor village, and it was pretty good if he didn't owe public food, but he couldn't get good food.
Before leaving, the director waved his hand and said: "Work hard and I will come back in a few months when the harvest is harvested. If there are really good changes, I will give credit to you young people."
Watching the car drive away, Chang Gui said excitedly: "The leader was too polite. He didn't even have a bite to eat. I feel so sorry."
Zheng Tong and Zhong Yuemin took a sip at the same time, and Zhong Yuemin said: "What are you talking about? Use a chicken feather as an arrow, you villain."
Chang Gui didn't know much, so after saving a meal, he felt that the director was a good person. Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong had met countless people since they were young. Generally speaking, those who use their accents are not fun.
The countryside is still quite busy in the spring, and you have to work in the fields every day. Finally in March, Jiang Hua remembered the apple saplings and came to see his dear Uncle Ma again.
"Well, I knew you would miss me, so I have already contacted you. One hundred saplings are half Guoguang and half Marshal. They are all good varieties."
"Thank you, Uncle Ma!"
Ma Guiping patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why are you so polite to your uncle? Why don't you see Yuemin all the time?"
"He, he has found a girlfriend. Now is the stage when honey is mixed with oil. How can he bother to come to the county town."
"Oh, please tell me in detail."
Maybe the elders are naturally interested in the marriage issues of the next generation. Even a person as upright as Ma Guiping can't help but start gossiping.
Jiang Hua could only talk carefully. Ma Guiping couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy and finally said seriously: "Tell Yuemin that his main focus is on study and work now. Even if he puts aside the matter of falling in love,
no problem."
After all, Jiang is old and hot. He pointed out the key points in one sentence. Unfortunately, if he could really listen to others' advice, it wouldn't be Zhong Yuemin.
Ma Guiping knocked on the table and said: "It's not okay to let him waste his life like this. His father is not here, and this matter needs to be taken care of. It's best to find a way to send him to the army. Yes, that's it. I'll send him to him when the time comes.
You two join the army for training."
It turns out that Jiang Hua also wanted to be a soldier, but recently he has changed his mind. When the books are used, he hates them less. He feels that it may be more suitable for him to go back to school.
"I don't need to. Yue Minxin is too wild. It's right to restrain him with iron discipline. In fact, I want to study more, and I am planting apples. I won't leave immediately until I finish it."
Ma Guiping said with a smile: "This kid Ren will definitely become a talented person. No matter where I put you, I have no doubt about this. But Yuemin can't let him continue to be so wild and don't take good care of him. I'm sorry for his father Zhong."
Mountains.”
"Okay, please be more careful. I'll transport the saplings back right away."
Ma Guiping took him to the warehouse at the back, pointed to the saplings in the corner and said, "It was just delivered a few days ago. I have arranged a cart for you and will drive the carriage to help you take the saplings back to Ishikawa Village."
That saved Jiang Hua a lot of trouble, so he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you very much, Uncle Ma, for your trouble."
"That's right, don't tell Yuemin what I told you, otherwise he will easily get awkward and wait until the matter is done, and he will have to go even if he doesn't."
After all, he is a man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life. He knows that with Zhong Yuemin's temper, he can do something wrong if he doesn't block his retreat. If he really knows that he is asked to abandon Qinling and arrange for him to join the army, Zhong Yuemin will definitely do it deliberately.
