I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 16 The First Worst in Cultural Tourism

After tying up the grass and planting all the saplings, it was almost evening, the sun was setting, and the beautiful sunset reflected in the sky.

Taking advantage of the sunset, Chen Mu didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and just fell to the ground to rest.

"Planting a tree is really different from planting a tree!"

Chen Mu sighed.

Because of his tacit cooperation with Duoji in the past two days, he completely ignored planting trees and planting grass squares before planting trees. Although they are both planting trees, the difficulty and fatigue of these two tasks are not at the same level.

It had only been a day, and he had only planted more than 30 grass squares and planted a dozen trees, but he already felt that his whole body was tired and falling apart.

Lying on the spot, facing the setting sun, Chen Mu turned his head and looked at the saplings planted by himself. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

I couldn't help but take out my mobile phone and take a few photos and send them to the space, with the text: "Start by planting trees and contribute to the greening of the motherland."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I posted it, I immediately received a like and a friend message.

"Mumu, you actually planted trees in the northwest? By the way, what happened after you came home! You didn't reply to messages, you didn't respond to text messages, and you don't think of us as brothers. !!”

After quickly reading the message, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

It was his college roommate Zhang Zizheng who sent the message.

Because of his personality, he got along well with several roommates in school, and Zhang Zizheng also helped him many times.

When I graduated, the other dormitories were working hard to prepare for the campus recruitment. The only weird thing about their dormitory was that one was taking the public examination, one was taking the editor's entrance examination, one was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and there was him who was about to go home and plant trees after graduation.

It simply brings together all the options for graduates.

Since returning home, due to some reasons, he has not logged into QQ for a long time. Unexpectedly, he just posted a message and the other party saw it by chance.

Chen Mumu thought for a while and responded with a message: "It's not the fact that I returned to the northwest caused the trouble. Many people asked me about this. I found it annoying, so I deleted my account and didn't say anything to you. I'm sorry. ”

Zhang Zizheng can understand.

During the four years of college, Mu Mu said countless times that he would go home and plant trees, but when he actually went home and planted trees, the three of them were still surprised.

"It's okay, how is your application for sand control personnel?"

Chen Mu roughly talked about what happened after returning home, and suddenly remembered that during the time he left, Zhang Zizheng had been preparing for the public examination, and he didn't know what was going on now.

"Elbow, have you landed yet?"

"Up."

"Are you sure which mountain to go to?"

Zhang Zizheng's family is from the capital, and they are all officials. The second uncle of the family was transferred to Sichuan Province two years ago and holds a high position.So from the third year of his junior year, Zhang Zizheng began to learn about the relevant information on the mountainous side of Sichuan Province while taking the public examination.

"...It's hard to explain in words, I'll tell you on the phone."

Soon, a phone call came. After the call was answered, Zhang Zizheng's dejected voice came.

"Mu Mu, I was transferred to the Bureau of Culture and Tourism."

Chen Mu opened his mouth and suddenly didn't know what to say.

The Bureau of Culture and Tourism said it was a good idea. It has a system and you can usually visit scenic spots for free.

But it's not good and it's very bad. After all, it is the publicity department, and any department linked to publicity will not be idle.

Every year, there are various tasks such as information tasks, innovation tasks, publicity planning, tourism planning, and written materials. During the holidays, I often have to be on duty to help maintain order in scenic spots.

That’s called tiring!

In the past two years, a local senior from the school was admitted to the Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Culture and Tourism. He happily applied for the job, worked for more than half a year, and then resigned and returned home in despair.

And a situation like this senior is not an exception in the school.

Since then, a saying has been widely circulated in the school.

The public examination is very good, and the cultural tourism is the worst.

Chen Mu opened his mouth and tried to comfort him: "It's okay, if you go to the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, at least you can stay in the urban area, and you can save yourself to remote mountainous areas."

Zhang Zizheng became even more helpless: "That's why I came to the Northwest."

Chen Mu: "..."

Chen Mu had nothing to say, only six points to express his mood.

"It's amazing! You are so lucky, it's like all the things that you don't remember come together."

Chen Mu sincerely suggested: "How about I go buy a lottery ticket with you? With your luck, it's enough that you can't afford me the money to plant the tree."

Zhang Zizheng became even more angry when he heard this.

Anyone who has worked hard to prepare for two years will be angry when they finally realize that their efforts have been wasted.

From south to north, the things he prepared and the information he found were completely useless.

Chen Mu understood Zhang Zizheng's feelings, but after remembering that someone said more than once that what he ate was devil's food, the devil in his heart suddenly started to move.

"Are you sure about the location?"

"not yet."

"Well, be sure to tell me when you're sure. I'll pick you up and let me, a local, take care of you." By the way, I'll treat you to some devilish delicacies.

Zhang Zizheng didn't know what was going on in Chen Mu's heart, but when he heard his brother's enthusiasm, he was suddenly moved.

"Don't worry, buddy, I will tell you first when the notice comes out."

We talked for a few more words, and when we hung up the phone, it was completely dark.

Chen Mu put the reins on the mule, and then drove the cart to Shuiqiao Village in the dark——

He had to send the mule cart back to Uncle Shuanzi, otherwise it would be difficult for them to come over tomorrow.

Halfway through, the call came in.

After the call was connected, Father Chen's voice came: "I heard from Shuanzi, are you going to hire him and Chunyu to help plant trees?"

Chunyu is Aunt Shuanzi's name.

Chen Mu let out an "arrogant" sound and told them about their own initiative to reduce their wages.

Father Chen sighed: "Oh, sure enough, no wonder my aunt made sure to marry Chunyu to Shuanzi before she died..."

Chen Mu didn't understand. These were the matters of the elders' generation after all. He would listen to what was said, and he wouldn't ask if anything was not said. He just wanted to let things go.

Father Chen paused, and continued: "After all, they are your elders, and they are serious and hard-working. They usually take care of them as much as they can. Since they want to lower their salary on their own initiative, then you will pay them according to this salary."

"understood."

"I also said about Fifth Brother, but he seems to be pressed very quickly, so..."

Chen Mu was unhappy: "Dad, if it doesn't work as promised, it just won't work."

Rural areas are good everywhere and have enough human touch, but the problem is that there are too many. When there are too many people, there are too many human touches and things become difficult to handle.

If anyone else had brought up this matter, Father Chen would have refused directly, but the person who brought it up was Uncle Chen Wu.

Hearing his son's fierce opposition, Father Chen had no choice but to stop talking about this topic, and instead asked:
“Have you ever had any problems planting trees?”

When Chen Mu heard it, he repeatedly mentioned several problems he encountered in the process of planting trees and asked them one by one.

For example, how much water should be watered, why the saplings will still die after watering according to the standard, fertilizer usage...
