Chapter 447 Keeping the Great Northwest

"Grandpa, how long have you lived here?"

Guan Shiyu chatted with the old man selling mutton skewers.

"It has been more than [-] years. We are the first batch of forest rangers. We have planted trees for more than [-] years. Now our legs and feet are weak and we can't dig the soil."

The old man talked about his experience in a very flat tone, but the wrinkles on his face were full of wind and frost.

"Then do you have any relatives here?"

"My wife is taking care of my grandson at home. My son and daughter-in-law are now forest rangers. They come back once a month."

"In other words, the son has inherited his father's business."

Guan Shiyu couldn't continue talking until this point.

They can say that one, two, or even three generations have dedicated themselves here.

"Let's go plant some trees too." Guan Shiyu turned to Luo Xiu and said.

"Okay!" Luo Xiu nodded.

The staff immediately said: "If we want to plant trees, our car can't get there directly, and we have to walk a long way."

"Then we'll walk."

If someone can work here for a lifetime, if he can't even walk a few steps, that's too unreasonable.

Seeing that Luo Xiu insisted on going, the staff turned around and made arrangements.

When the vehicle reached the edge of the woodland, it had to get off and walk.

Just walking is still easy, but it is not easy to carry water tanks, saplings, and tools on your back.

Because the newly planted saplings must be watered to survive, and the woodland they are going to has no direct access to water pipes, and they must be manually backed up.

Luo Xiu offered to carry a [-]-jin water tank on his back. Guan Shiyu didn't have that much strength, but he also carried the sapling on his back.

It is very difficult to walk on the soft sandy ground.

Luo Xiu saw that Guan Shiyu was already sweating profusely, so he reached out to support her pannier to help her reduce some weight.

Guan Shiyu felt that the backpack became lighter, turned her head, and said very unhappy: "You let go, I can do it."

"If you can't recite it, don't force it."

"I said I could."

Guan Shiyu twisted her shoulders and shook off Luo Xiu's hand.

"Okay, you go slowly."

After finally reaching the destination, Luo Xiu felt that he had lost half his life.

He is already a regular fitness person, but physical labor and fitness are two concepts.

There is some help in physical strength, but compared with these long-term laborers, it is far behind.

Everyone rested for a while and started planting trees.

First dig a hole, put the saplings down, return to the soil, and then pour water.

The whole process is not complicated, but under the sun, physical strength will be consumed very quickly.

The staff took out a camera, "President Luo and Miss Guan, take off your veil and take a photo together."

If the leader came so far, if he didn't take a photo to promote it, wouldn't that be in vain?

It's like the boys and girls going abroad for travel nowadays, if they don't take a picture and post it on Moments, wouldn't it be in vain?

The sun and sand are very strong here, and both of them are wearing veils, so it is not easy to recognize themselves.

That's why the staff asked the two to take off their veils.

Luo Xiu waved his hand angrily, "Don't take pictures of me, if you want to take pictures, take pictures of the forest rangers working over there."

He understands the need for this kind of publicity very well, and he has done such things in the past.

But at this moment, he personally carried the water here and planted trees by himself. He didn't want to be interpreted as a show just because of a photo.

……

There were not many saplings brought over this time, and after they were all planted, Luo Xiu sat down to rest.

"Brother, you should also rest for a while!"

Luo Xiu called to a forest ranger next to him.

"Hey, good!"

The elder brother sat down with a silly smile.

"How long has big brother been working here?" Luo Xiu asked.

"It's been six or seven years."

"Does it feel hard?"

"It doesn't matter if it's hard work or not, we're all used to it."

"Is there anything worrying about you recently?"

"It's nothing to worry about." The eldest brother thought for a while, and then added, "I'm just a little worried about the children's studies. I'm not at home most of the time, so I can't discipline them."

The eldest brother looks very honest, and he answers whatever he asks.

After chatting for a while, he got up and went to work again.

……

When Luo Xiu returned to the hotel, it was almost dark.

Just ate something, and then fell asleep.

On the second day, continue to visit the breeding base.

There are many unremarkable staff members in the base, and they were all the pride of the university.

Some were born in the south, gentle and graceful, beautiful seniors with fluttering hair.

After plunging headlong into this great northwest, the green onion and jade fingers, which were not exposed to the spring water, became rough.

Long hair has already been cut short.

The young and beautiful face also became resolute.

And those boys who were rough guys in college have learned to treat the seedlings gently.

Without their persistence and devotion of youth here for so many years, we would not have been able to develop so many varieties of saplings with strong vitality, drought resistance and thirst.

They could have been doing experiments in labs in big cities like other graduates.

In a high-end office building, with a cup of coffee, elegantly open the laptop.

After get off work in the evening, you can choose a richer night life, or you can go back to your cozy cabin, watch dramas, watch movies and play games.

Of course, there will also be work pressure, marriage pressure, and pressure to buy a house.

But compared with the current hardship, these pressures may be just a small trouble of happiness.

……

They also welcome Luo Xiu's arrival.

Among them was a student who had just graduated, who seemed to be Luo Xiu's little fan.

After meeting, he said excitedly: "Mr. Luo, I am your fan and have watched many of your speeches."

If this happens frequently, a thick-skinned person like Luo Xiu will definitely respond generously.

But at this time, he was a little embarrassed.

His deceptive speeches became a bit vulnerable when he met these people who were actually doing things.

"I am also your fan, and I admire your spirit of scientific research."

Luo Xiu could only respond in this way.

"Boss Luo, you're over the top."

The boy scratched the back of his head embarrassingly.

"Is there anything you lack here? For example, funds or something." Luo Xiu asked.

"There is nothing lacking. As long as there is a need for funds, the state will allocate funds. Many of our researches mainly rely on time, and there is no rush."

After hearing his words, Luo Xiu realized that the help he could give was really too little.

He overestimated himself a bit.

Perhaps the only thing they can do is to use their little influence to let more people know about their deeds.

Let more people know that there is such a group of people fighting on the front line to block the constant invasion of wind and sand.

Build a green Great Wall.

Keep the great northwest of the motherland.
