Professor Wen didn't complain after hearing Lu Xiancheng's words. As an old soldier who has been fighting with the school's funding for decades, Professor Wen has his own way of asking for money.

He looked up at the sky and the sun was almost at the center. Professor Wen took off the straw hat on his head and said, "It's getting late, let's go to make a fire and cook!"

Lu Xiancheng said: "We brought the food ourselves! We brought a little to you, which is dozens of kilograms." The road was difficult to walk, so Lu Xiancheng naturally had to bring some food with him this time. Not only did he bring some dry food for himself and Lu Yao, but he also brought a lot of professors and students who soaked here.

"What did you bring?" Professor Wen asked.

"The main thing is canned food, a small amount of canned meat canned fruits plus some bread, etc." Lu Xiancheng said.

Considering that the place here is quite biased, Lu Xiancheng probably has insufficient meat, so he naturally brings less fruit and more meat. Besides, these things are not worth much in Lu Xiancheng's eyes. If you want to express your condolences, you have to bring some things to express.

After hearing what Lu Xiancheng said, Professor Wen smiled and said, "Forget canned meat, we have two meals of fish and meat a day, so we will eat meat for breakfast. Canned fruits are good. If you want to bring them next time, bring them more."

"Can you still eat meat here often?" Lu Xiancheng asked in surprise.

Professor Wen slapped his straw hat and said, "The people in Youjiawa raise pigs, chickens, and ducks. The farmers can raise some things, but they are not willing to eat them, so we don't lack these things!"

When Lu Xiancheng heard Professor Wen say this, he immediately became curious. Originally, Lu Xiancheng thought that these people would definitely be the kind of person who would dare to say that they would not respond every day and would not work. Who knew that when Professor Wen said this, he was still smiling. Could it be that he was also: to make fun of suffering?

A group of people arrived at the mobile room. Lu Xiancheng took a short rest and urged Professor Wen to set off.

Professor Wen smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I will call my servants to come and pick us up!" After that, he put his hands together to his mouth and turned into a trumpet shape.

"Oh! Old Yang!".

After shouting twice, Professor Wen then lowered his arms: "If we think of Youjiawa with our legs, it would be troublesome. Even if we ride a horse, it would take half an hour to wade by, which is far less convenient than Lao Yangtou's boat!"

Looking at Lu Xiancheng, he nodded. Professor Wen said again: "Where are some of the cans we bring to the fellow villagers. We have been caring for them these days. The people in the mountains are more straightforward and hospitable, but they don't charge us money every time. So every time we bring something, we give them something, which is a reciprocity."

For canned food, where Lu Xiancheng would not take Professor Wen to the place where he puts the cloth bags, so he would choose it at will!

"They usually save canned meat and are not willing to eat meat. They probably enjoy these things the most." Professor Wen said as he took out a can of lunch meat and put it at his feet.

When Lu Xiancheng heard Professor Wen say this, he squatted down and reached out to pick it up.

After a while, the two of them picked up about twenty cans.

Lu Xiancheng straightened his body at this time, looked up and suddenly a small boat appeared in the center of the lake, and a shipman with a hat stood at the stern of the boat.

The boat was quite fast, and the bow of the boat was slightly raised and a splash of water came towards him.

"Here you come!" Lu Xiancheng said.

Upon hearing this, Professor Wen turned his head and took a look: "Well! It's almost the same here, I'll find a snakeskin bag to put these." After that, he stood up, turned around and took out a common fertilizer bag in the countryside from a room, and stunned the cans on the ground.

The boat docked.

"Old Yang!" Professor Wen, carrying a bag, signaled Lu Xiancheng to follow him on the boat.

"Professor Wen!" The shipmaster Lao Yang bowed his hand to Professor Wen. Then he took two steps and walked down from the boat and reached out to support Professor Wen's arm.

As for Lu Xiancheng who was following behind, he was ignored all of a sudden, so he had to follow the two old men empty-handed and prepare to board the boat.

"It's really unconventional to let your teacher carry a bag for such a young baby!" The man-in-law Lao Yang looked at his empty hand, thinking that Lu Xiancheng was a student of Professor Wen. The student asked the teacher to carry something and he was empty. Lao Yang couldn't help but say this from his mouth.

Lu Xiancheng was stunned by Lao Yang's head.

Professor Wen then rescued and said, "He is not my student, but the future manager here. When he just arrived here, he took these things. I'm carrying them for me. It's nothing." After that, he patted the bag at his feet.

Now Old Yang stopped talking and smiled awkwardly at Lu Xiancheng. It was probably a profit.

Then he walked to the stern of the boat: "Sit down!".

After hearing this, Lu Xiancheng sat down to the bow of the ship.

The old shipman picked up the bamboo pole that was mounted on the side of the boat and put it on the shore. When he bent his waist, the bamboo pole slightly bent into a bow shape. With this force, the hull gently swung away from the shore.

Lu Xiancheng felt his figure slightly shake. When he was waiting for his senses, the hull had already beaten horizontally and adjusted his head.

"Old Yang, I'll bother you at noon today. I'll get some small fish for us later," said Professor Wen.

Old Yang said, "What am I talking about? You city people are really good. What's the delicious food for small fish stick cakes!"

"This thing reminds me of the place I was sent to the place I was sent before. I would have no taste when I was rehabilitated and then I could eat it after I got back to the city. But the taste came to you all at once." Professor Wen said as he started to take out the things from the bag.

The shipkeeper, Lao Yang, took Professor Wen's movement and immediately pretended to be unhappy and said, "Professor Wen, what are you doing? Just a small fish in a net."

Professor Wen immediately said, "It's nothing. I borrowed flowers to offer the canned food that Xiao Lu brought to Buddha and brought it to the children to taste it. You have it!"

When Lao Yang heard this, he stopped saying anything else, but just said politely: "Look, every time you come, you will send us something."

"We are here to take care of everyone. Besides, we have eaten, drank and taken. If we don't get some gifts, how can we be embarrassed next time?" Professor Wen said.

Lu Xiancheng didn't have the heart to listen to the two old men who came and went there politely because of a few canned foods, but became interested in the Xiaohu, which was within reach of Xiaohu.

With a slight sideways, the entire lake is clear and you can directly see the shadows of big rocks casting at the bottom of the lake through the noon sunshine. Occasionally, you can see groups of small fish swimming slowly, and the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake are almost frozen in the water.

In later generations, there were no more clear lakes. Almost all the lakes and rivers in the city became stinky ditches, with garbage floating everywhere on them. There were a smell of chemical smell that made people feel disgusting. Occasionally, there were one or two fresh lakes, which were also in a scenic spot with tourists. As for the sight of the bottom of the lake, you should not think about it.

The shipkeeper, Old Yang, opened his mouth and said, "You city people are just in the blessings and don't know how to be blessed. A good life in a big city is just a poor countryside. A good life is just a matter of grass to plant here and a place to set up. Alas! I don't know what it is called?"

"pasture!"

"Yes! Ranch! Your big boss is not very smart, so you can't plant grass, so you have to come here to plant it." Lao Yangtou was reminded by Professor Wen, then he remembered that large area called Ranch.

After hearing this, Lu Xiancheng didn't know what to say. Someone said in front of him that he was a fool! Lu Xiancheng was not ready to tell the difference, but asked Lao Yang back: "What did this place look like before?"

When Lao Yang heard Lu Xiancheng's question, the oars in his hand couldn't help but pause, then sighed and said, "In the past, there were continuous forests, not only trees, but also hares, pheasants, and even foxes and wolves. As for wild boars, they were even more numerous. When the crops were ripe, these things would come down to harm them. When I was young, when the autumn harvest came, everyone fought with these guys. At that time, they hated them and hated them itched. But later the forest was cut away, and these guys disappeared, and the whole mountain was bald, and there was nothing left. I thought about these things again."

Lu Xiancheng said: "The trees probably won't come, and even if they are planted, they won't be as many as before. However, it is not impossible for the whole mountain to grow green. Professor Wen is doing such research and has already produced results."

Old Yang said after hearing this, "What if the land on your side is green? The county has thought of a way before. The area of ​​Zhaozhuang on the other side has been planted with grass and grown very well. What happened in the end? A few groups of people came down to see. The rewards were rewarded, and the promotions and wealth were transferred away by themselves. No one was willing to take care of this. After a year or two, it was completely deserted."

Professor Wen couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Anyone with some social experience can understand such things. Many grassroots officials just act as monks and clocks every day, and some people who are willing to work hard are afraid that they are mostly for the official hat on their foreheads.

Just like what Lao Yang said, he spent a lot of effort to plant grass. When the leader saw his political achievements, he was promoted. Finally, he patted his butt and left without any business. As for the later successor, who would take care of the matters of taking office, even if he did it well, it was mainly because of the achievements of taking office, which was far less beautiful than starting a new job.

"If ordinary grass is not good!" After holding it in for a while, Professor Wen said this.

The trees are gone, and the original ecology has been completely disrupted. In addition, the soil layer on the mountain here is very special and cannot store rain well. There is no problem with the growth of semi-arid plants such as mountain vines and thorn vines. Grass that require moisture, especially grasses that can produce economic benefits, are difficult to grow. Who will invest without benefits?

Relying on the government, the government can still do it, but the government of a poor county has no money to do it.

Speaking of this, Lao Yangtou's boat had already sailed to the lake shore. As for the wooden stacks on the wharf, there was no such thing as the three of them stepped on a large stone to get ashore. Lao Yangtou directly threw the anchor on the boat to the shore, even if he was leaning against the shore.

The first step on Youjiawa was to the village. Lu Xiancheng showed this village as you saw along the way. It was made of mud walls and grass roofs. The mud walls were mixed with mud and dried and chopped wheat straw. The walls were 60 cm thick. After they were firmly pressed, the wood was used for the beams, and then a straw curtain was laid, and then a dry wheat pole was covered on top.

Such a house is not beautiful, and the windows cannot be opened too big, so the house will be very dark even if you enter the side room during the day, it will feel gloomy.

After getting off the boat, Lu Xiancheng followed Professor Wen to Lao Yangtou's home.

It’s just like this. As for the living room, it’s a bit too harsh. The front room is a half shed with a wall. When you enter the yard, the right side is the kitchen and the left side is the cattle shed. Now there is a buffalo tied inside, and the opposite side is the main house. The house is too dark to sit. There is a farm tool piled up in the front room and there is no place to sit. The one you can sit under the grape trellis in the yard.

After sitting down, Lao Yangtou went to the backyard to pick melons for the two of them. While Lao Yangtou was not in Lu Xiancheng, he turned to Professor Wen and said, "Are you going to buy vegetables? It's getting late now!"

"Wait!" Professor Wen smiled at Lu Xiancheng slightly, looking confident. (To be continued.)
