Chapter 396

In Mobei City, the countryside is very sparsely populated. Most of the young people go to the city or work in the south, while the old people still stick to the land of their ancestors.

Beidian village, Yunlin Town, ma'erwan district is such a village. The villagers settle down along the river and cultivate a small number of farmland. Other places are almost all wasteland, and some can grow some weeds. However, most of them have been desertified for a long time, and they can't plant fields or graze animals.

However, it is also in this place. In recent decades, due to the support of policies, there have been some new changes in the landscape.

If you look from the sky, you can see that a little bit of the wasteland outside the village has become green. It is a forest farm made of afforestation.

For others, tree planting day is held once a year, but for Wang Fuhou, 79, there are two planting seasons a year, and he has to take care of the trees every day.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Wang Fuhou woke up to the chirping of birds. His wife and his wife lived in a small brick house in the forest farm. From the first contract of 50 mu of wasteland more than 30 years ago, he and his wife have been used to this day.

"My wife, my wife." Wang Fuhou woke up his 77 year old wife Zhang Maidong, "wake up, we still have a busy day."

"Look at you stubborn old man, you are not tired at this age..." Zhang Maidong seemed to complain, "I can't be free..."

"Ha ha." Wang Fuhou was happy. He got up first and went, "I haven't read a book, but I know the story of Yugong moving mountains. The tree has to have human race, or the land will be desertified. What will happen to future generations? I just want to live a few more years and plant more trees. "

"It's very nice. The country praises you. I know." Zhang Maidong takes pleasure in Taoism.

When they were interviewed in the past, Mr. and Mrs. Wang's thick face were also praised in the news. It is said that planting trees is a national hot spot. One is the Bureau of natural machinery, and the other is planting trees to afforest the environment.

Planting trees doesn't make much money. It takes a lot of manpower to prepare the land, and sometimes it has to use large machinery. The planting period is too short to do it by ourselves, so we have to hire people. In addition, we have to invest in watering and repairing. We can make some money by raising seedlings, withered branches and leaves, and 30 mu of fast-growing poplar. Every year, tens of thousands of yuan are needed for land preparation, and the state subsidizes it to maintain a living. Their three children have long had families. Their grandchildren sometimes come to help, come and go. After all, the young people don't want to face a piece of wasteland all day.

It's impossible to say that he didn't think about his livelihood at all. Wang Fuhou was also thinking about making some money when he started this contract.

But one kind has been planted for so many years, and it has really planted feelings.

Wang Fuhou knew that his wife was just a knife edge. He was not the only one who ate the hardships of turning wasteland into woodland and planting trees for so many years.

More than 30 years ago, there was no electricity, no water, no road, nothing, just a piece of wasteland. It was they who prepared the ground and planted seedlings, pine, Sophora japonica, weeping willow and fast-growing poplar Looking at the trees growing up, looking at the barren mountains green oil.

"Let's contract a few more acres to plant trees? Next year, the country will praise me. "

"Well! Then you live a few more years, I live a few years less. "

He joked with his wife again. Wang Fuhou put on his coat and old man's hat and walked out of the small brick house.

The sky was bright, and the calls of birds in the forest became louder. Wang Fuhou walked slowly through the forest where he had planted some fallen leaves. In this Spring Festival, trees grow new branches and leaves, those green let him see really relaxed.

"Relaxed and happy." Wang Fuhou did not go to school or read a book. It can be said that he did not know a few big characters. However, the reporters who came to interview that day kept saying this word to him. It was really a good word. When I think of my age, I can be on the news after a lifetime of busy life, and can be praised by the state, the old man's smile is even more prosperous.

His whole life, also did not calculate muddleheaded passed.

"No, we have to contract dozens more acres." Wang Fuhou thought about it, but as soon as he started to think about it, he almost staggered when he stepped on a dead branch and felt a pain in his hips. "This leg and foot are not striving for success." The old man lamented to himself that his legs were either ill or old.

"Alas He remembered that in those days, he could do all kinds of work by himself, and there was no problem climbing up a tree to repair branches. Now he is more and more unable to walk.

People are getting older, but the tree is getting higher and higher.

As Wang Fuhou walked, he came to Fuhou tree, which was the first tree they planted. The tall and strong trunk of the tree made them unable to hold each other. Every time Wang Fuhou took a walk in the morning, he would go there to have a look and hold the tree. It was like one of their children.

“…… Where are the trees? "

Now, however, Wang Fuhou's old face was stunned and looked around at the sparse woods around him. The place he had already passed thousands of times was a little strange.

He was so familiar with the road. This was the road he had opened. He could go anywhere with his eyes closed. But now he should have gone to Fuhou tree, but he seemed lost. He didn't see the towering pine tree, and some other trees were gone."Here, where is this?" Wang Fuhou did not understand for a moment that there was no place like this in his 200 mu woodland.

The distance between trees is not right. The distance between trees is not right! Why are there so many trees missing?

Have you been felled? Wang Fuhou flashed this idea, and suddenly he felt flustered and angry. However, he turned to think that it was impossible for him to cut down trees without any movement. It is impossible to cut so many trees overnight, and it is impossible to disturb them. Moreover, there are no traces on the ground and no stumps on the ground

Strange thing, strange thing.

Wang Fuhou walked a little further, but the strange thing was that the woods in front of him did not change. He went back a long way and made sure that the 30 meter range of his fu Hou tree had changed. When he went back to the area, he found that not only the trees were scarce, but also the young leaves were not seen in those trees.

These trees are all dead, some even bark cracking, as if they will collapse at any time.

At the foot of the land, it seems to be turning black, more than a few decades ago.

"What's going on..." Wang Fuhou murmured and went to the front of another locust tree. He stretched out his calloused right hand and pressed the cracked tree trunk.

The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and his wrinkled old face was filled with panic. He saw his hand directly into the tree trunk, just as if he had gone into the water. The twisted water immediately made the old man feel a huge pain, as if his whole body was burning and about to burst open, "wife, wife...!"
