Chapter 1114 The Suffering of Farmers

The car drove out of the courtyard of Qinxi County, and the look on Nie Zhenbang's face became more and more gloomy. Jin'an City - OK, let Nie Zhenbang experience the rampant and arrogantness of the Zhao Group. With a cold snorting, Nie Zhenbang's face was unprecedented solemn: "It's nosy. I'm really in charge of this idle business."

In the next few days, Nie Zhenbang walked around. I have checked many cities. The whole Longxi has ten prefectures and cities under its jurisdiction, namely Liangzhou-Yizhou-Yongzhou. Qinyang City. Weiyue City.

Shi'an City. Jin'an City-Linzhou City-Qinchuan City and the ancient capital of the province.

In the next four days, Nie Zhenbang walked through seven of them, leaving only Shi'an City and the ancient city.

Basically, half a day - a city, most of the rush time, Nie Zhenbang is put in the evening. Basically, Nie Zhenbang feels like a city at night, see, see, walk. Learn about the local customs and local customs, and learn about the local economic development. From the mentality and face of the citizens, you can probably see something. Then, after ten o'clock in the morning, at ten o'clock, we will continue to the next place. Arrive in the afternoon and take advantage of the afternoon and evening to get to know this side. In the evening, after dinner, I rushed down to the city to rest.

After four days, Nie Zhenbang was strong and a little tired. Finally, in a day, Nie Zhenbang came to Shi'an City.

This is the place where the ancestors once struggled. The scenery of the Loess Plateau, the loess is all over the sky, revealing the dryness and poverty. Caves can be seen everywhere. Because of the serious soil erosion, the ditch is dense. All green. Even, many places have been gradually sanded.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zhenbang's face also became gloomy, and the An River winding through the urban area of Shi'an City. The whole city is well built. But. Nie Zhenbang did not stop. Towards the distance, towards the depths of the Loess Plateau.

The speed of the car remained at 60 yards. Considering his purpose, Nie Zhenbang did not take the highway, but walked aimlessly along the provincial road in Shi'an City, and even the county road.

The environment here is very bad. The deeper you go, the more poverty and recommendation.

faintly, you can hear the tune of Xintianyou. The farmer with a white head drove the goat and sang on the beam. The loud and clear voice is so penetrating.

The vegetation here is extremely damaged. The beams and ravines are bare, and you can't see much green. Look around. What is introduced into the eyes is all loess.

The wind is blowing, and there is a kind of scenery full of loess. The environment has been so harsh. In such a place, the water and soil can no longer be maintained. In addition, it was originally drought and little rain. Under the vicious circle. The survival of the common people here has become a difficulty.

Then, raise goats. Cattle and other livestock, these are even more large households that consume vegetation. The poorer, the worse, the worse, the poorer. This has become a vicious circle.

There is a long way to go. Looking at this, Nie Zhenbang's mood had an unprecedented sense of heaviness. If, before, in Jin'an City, Nie Zhenbang's mood was furious. So. At this moment, there is a kind of depression. Have a sense of mission. To be an official, to benefit - Fang. This sentence was given to Nie Zhenbang when the old man was alive. This is a famous saying. That's not what the old man said. It has been passed down for thousands of years since ancient times, and there has been such a saying in the domestic officialdom.

However, Nie Zhenbang keeps it in mind, and it is also implemented in this way. However, after seeing this, Nie Zhenbang's mood also became heavy.

Continuing to go deeper, the original asphalt road has been replaced by a dirt road, and the car has passed by. In the back, the dust of the road was raised.

Suddenly, a figure on the mountain beam in front of him attracted Nie Zhenbang's attention. Far away, a thin figure. He walked on the beam with difficulty, on the back of the figure, carrying a back basket comparable to half a body.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zhenbang involuntarily stopped the car, opened the door and walked down. I walked towards the beam of the mountain.

The two figures pulled closer, and Nie Zhenbang's whole body was shocked. How big it was. Twelve years old? He is still thirteen years old, a child, wearing very old-fashioned huā cloth clothes. On the back, carrying a big basket, step by step, it can be seen that such a heavy weight is heavy for a child.

Nie Zhenbang walked up and directly held the basket on the child's shoulder, in which there were two large white rectangular-shaped kettles. You can see that the clear water inside is shaking. These two kettles weigh at least about 80 catties.

Without saying anything, Nie Zhenbang helped the child. - He walked straight down the mountain beam. At this time, the child put down the basket and nodded to Nie Zhenbang and said, "Thank you, uncle."

—Open your mouth, full of Qinqiang. However, Nie Zhenbang can hear it clearly. Hearing it clearly ~ What shocked Nie Zhenbang more was that this child was still a girl.

In my heart - sour. This is the child. Looking at this body, I'm afraid it's younger than Panpan. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang felt that he was a little emotional, and his voice was a little choked: "Son, are you going to go so far to drink water?"

"Yes, the well water in our village is salt water and can't be drunk. Only here can there be sweet water wells. In the village, every family has to walk more than five miles of mountain roads every day to carry water. The child doesn't feel anything. Looking at the clear water in the basket, his face showed a kind of expectation and a kind of happiness.

This scene made Nie Zhenbang a little sad: "Son, what about your parents? You are so young that you should go to school.

The girl's face and hands are dirty, but her eyes are very clear. Hearing this, the little girl's eyes showed a trace of sadness. Lower your head and stop talking.

Seeing this, Nie Zhenbang came up and said with a smile, "Son, come on, today, uncle will help you carry the water. You lead the way ahead."

Follow the girl, go straight along the ravine, about a distance of about a kilometer, turn a corner, in front of a typical farm village appears.

The girl's home is on the east side of the village, with two caves. - At the door, the girl shouted loudly: "Grandpa, grandma. I'm back."

The door opened, and a dark-skinned old man came out. Grey earthen cloth sleeveless shoulder. Thick thousand-layer cloth shoes. Lin Shi and Han Hou wrote on his face full of wrinkles.

Seeing Nie Zhenbang, the old man was stunned. Before the old man could speak, Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, "Old man. I was the passer-by. At first, on the mountain beam over there, I saw the child - a personal backwater. Poor thing, so I'll help her send it back.

"Uncle, how old is this child? Isn't your son and daughter-in-law at home?" Nie Zhenbang is a little dissatisfied. How can such a small child let her carry such heavy physical work?

However, what Nie Zhenbang didn't expect was that when the words fell, the old man sat silently at the threshold and sighed, "Oh, brother, you don't know, this daughter is suffering. My baby.. Not long after giving birth to her, she went to Jinmei to mine and died there. Her daughter-in-law was still young, so she left her baby and remarried. This daughter lives with the two of us. Now, we are old and can't carry our backs.

Silence. It's silence again. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang's mood also became heavy. Sitting next to the old man, on a stone pier, he took out a bag of cigarettes from his clothes pocket and handed it to the old man. Nie Zhenbang also said, "Uncle, how about the annual harvest? Can you survive? Why didn't the child go to school? This doesn't work. This is related to the child's future.

At this point, the old man also nodded: "Then you can't read it. It's a holiday now.

I will go to junior high school next year. After finishing junior high school, that's it. It's a pity that my family is a baby. She got the best grades, and the teacher praised her every year. However, this is the situation in my family. We are wooden, and we can't afford it. At the end of this year, it's good to have labor. If you go out to work, at least you can fall behind, just like my family. At the end of the year, it's good to have a hundred and ten yuan. I can't afford to read it again. If you are a little bigger, find a good family and get married. She and I are worthy of her father.

The pain of farmers, the pain of farmers. The more it is in such a poor and backward place, the more obvious it is. This kind of history of relying on the sky and relying on the mountain has never been changed much. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang's mood was a little depressed.

nodded, looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, don't worry, you will get better, and you will definitely get better. The Party and the government will pay comprehensive attention to rural issues. Don't worry."

Nie Zhenbang's words made the old man feel a little puzzled. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang suddenly stood up, touched his pocket, and looked at it. At this moment, there were only a few thousand and dozens of yuan left on his body. The rest of the cash is on the car.

took out a thousand integers. Nie Zhenbang walked to the old man, handed the money to the old man's hand, and whispered, "Old man, take it. - A little snack. No matter what? Children can't go without reading. No matter how hard it is, you can't make your child suffer. Only knowledge can change your fate.

"Oh, big brother, how can this be used? I can't do it." The old man was also stunned. I didn't expect it at all. Nie Zhenbang will make this move.

The old man stood up, covered with calloused hands, and holding the thousand yuan, he was about to return it to Nie Zhenbang. However, Nie Zhenbang has turned around at this moment. He said to the old man, "Sir, please accept it. In the future, I will definitely come to see you."
