[b] reading prompts [/b]< br />20 years ago, Wang Yao village, Yanshi city of Shan Hua Town The barren hills in the north are covered with wild jujube trees, all of which are Artemisia annua. The barren hills that had been barren in the 80s of last century were contracted out to the villages, and no one wanted to pack them. In 1992, a 54 year old village woman turned over to discuss with her retired wife Zhang Yunlai.
two old people have gone through 20 years' experience of the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and finally let the barren hills become luxuriant and full of fruits. The mountains are covered with cypress, Sophora, jujube, persimmon and Eucommia ulmoides. The old man looked at every tree he planted more than his grandson, and the old man said, "here is my spiritual home. On the mountain, there is no trouble in the world. There is no end to the whole body." I don't want to give any reward, I want to leave a green mountain for my posterity, until I can't work.
[b] formerly barren hills today, "[/b]
9" 14 days, 11 hours, the reporter came to Wang Yao village, Yanshi city.
mountains surrounded by mountains, south of the IRO River, north by Mangshan, across the river and Songshan. In Zhang Yunlai's son's home, the reporter found Zhang Yunlai, 80 years old. The old man took the reporter to the hillside 1 kilometres north of the village.
the desert mountain, contracted by the old man, is inverted horseshoe like, the upper and lower green vegetation is divided into four layers, the bottom is the original ecological tree of jujube and hair, and the three layers are all green and lush trees.
the old man walked in front of him. At the foot of the mountain was a narrow mountain road which exposed the stone after the landscape. The old man threw the reporter away for more than 20 meters. The old man said he was a soldier, joined the party in 1958 and loved Shaolin boxing. Retired in 1992, regardless of winter and summer, every morning at 5 o'clock on time to go to the mountains to play boxing, 6 o'clock after breakfast and work together with his wife on the mountain.
"I contracted the shape of a dragon like a spiral, and later I named it the Panlong village. The old man said.
the north gate outside the mountain is a hilly area with corn, peanuts and sweet potatoes. Zhang Yunlai's friends were working in the ground.
steps up from the mountain gate, and walks up two circled iron gates into the jujube forest. Zhang Yun said, "the Double Ninth Festival is coming. The old men's day in the village and the town is coming to the mountains. Let them taste our dates. It's all grafted on the sour jujube tree, and it's sweet to eat. "
there is an ancient temple and 6 brick tile roofs on the top of the mountain. There is a pool in the south of the house, and a large cypress tree in the west of the pond.
Qiao said, "20 years ago, the village had to pack the barren hills, but no one wanted to pack them. After consulting the village cadres, I decided to plant trees in the mountains, so that the old man also came. At the very beginning, my wife and I built roads to open up wasteland, plant trees and dig wells.
"there is no water on the mountain, and the wind can scrape the soil on the mountain." In 2006, we planted more than 100 Eucommia ulmoides and Robinia pseudoacacia. It was always dry. Every day we picked dozens of water from the two ponds under the mountain to water the trees. Two the pond water has been dried and the seedlings have not yet survived. We have been sad for a long time. Later, his wife said that jujube tree was vigorous, so that it could graft jujube trees on jujube trees. First, I invited technicians. After asking for a high cost, my wife found out the textbook for junior middle school, and began to think about grafting. Zhang Yun.
turn: "where there are good varieties of grafted jujube bud, the old man goes to Beijing, Hebei, Shaanxi to ask for people on his back. Every time it spends a few hundred dollars, please come back to some date buds like baby." Every year on the February lunar calendar, the old man sawed off the jujube tree in front of him. After that, I stripped the bark from the roots and inserted the jujube sprouts into it, and then tied them up to prevent leakage. Through two or three years' groping, the survival rate was over 90%. When a good jujube tree is short of water, it should be watered two times a day. When the jujube tree is grafted to a height, it should be supported three times with wooden sticks, or the wind will break the saplings. This is not in textbooks, it is summed up in practice.
she giggled like a child: "surprisingly, the knowledge of grafting in junior middle school botanical classes has come into use in old age. Later, more than 1700 jujube trees were grafted every year. "
with the success of the grafting of Chinese jujube variety: "there are gourd jujube, jujube, pearl jujube, pear jujube, winter jujube, jujube, jujube, small snow jujube, ridge jujube, dragon and Jujube..." I don't sell these jujubes at all. Let's enjoy the sight seeing and let Haruki and the old people in the town's home for the elderly eat. "
[b] "is to leave a green mountain for children and grandchildren" [/b]
to solve the mountain tree planting and water shortage, 1998 old two mouth in the mountain built a 7 cubic meter of reservoir, for the mountain top planting ginkgo, camphor and pomegranate water. After
, they spent more than half a year digging a pool of more than 20 cubic meters of water in the hillside to save the rain and water the trees.
reporters saw on the hillside several water outlets covered with iron nets filtering leaves and weeds. Zhang Yun: "from the top to the hillside, now there are pipes in every floor, and the water pump can be pumped by the water pump in the day of drought, which is much more powerful than to pick water under the mountain."
to start a business hard, with a bit of camel's turn, I said, "I eat my own crops and vegetables, and I live in a flower and fruit hill. Whenever I see the green trees and fruits of the mountains, I work hard and I am not tired at all. Because this is the spiritual home of my two old families, and I have the results of my later life struggle. If you are angry at home, you will lose all your energy when you go to the mountains.
with a jujube in the jujube forest, he pinched a big jujube with a deep jujube, and said, "the tree will not speak, and I see which tree leaves the withered leaves. I regard this mountain as my own life and worry about it when I am alive.
4 p.m., the couple led reporters to visit their vegetable fields. Before the Cinnamomum camphora tree, they said, "the medicinal value of this tree is high, and it is painful to cure diarrhea. I also have Polygonum multiflorum and Eucommia ulmoides, which are all medicinal herbs.
with a long view of planning: "ready to build two pavilions on both sides of the East and west sides of Nanshan slope, and to build a large reservoir in the south, build a water jet on the top of the mountain, and spray the water from the mountain from the tap into the reservoir below. The old ladies had fallen down the hill and wanted to build a road and a parking lot in front of the mountain. "
Zhang Yunlai left the reporters down the mountain when the reporters left. The reporter asked, "what do you do on two years in the mountains for 20 years? When are you ready to do it? "
"when the harvest season is full, you can smell the fruit aroma. People in ten li and eight villages can eat fresh food. Is that not a reward? My two old friends do not plan anything in return, they are to leave a green mountain for their descendants until they are dry. Zhang Yun. Chen Longtu, a
76 year old villager, told reporters: "fortunately, his two old friends have persevered, and no one else wants to do it every day." Mei Xiuwu said, "the old two ways govern the barren hills well. If they are like them, barren hills and wasteland will never exist."
