I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 19

Chen Mu walked up to the police car obediently.

"Thank you for what happened just now!"

After that, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over with a lighter.

Although he doesn't smoke, he always has some of them ready at all times, as good things that can open up the conversation and quickly shorten the distance between each other—cigarettes and lighters.

The police officer's eyes focused on the lighter and he smiled.

"It's very thoughtful!" He took it and put it in his pocket casually.

"Okay, it's because you have an emergency this time, and you have a good intention, let's forget it this time, but you must not do it again in the future, remember?"

"Remember, remember!" Chen Mu nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.

Maybe it was because there were acquaintances there, or maybe it was because cigarettes were not cheap in Heilan State, but Gunnar Renze was not in a hurry to leave.

"I have an impression of you. Are you the son of the shop owner near Ruxing Village?"

"Correct."

"That area is under the jurisdiction of our police station. I heard that you contracted 1000 acres of sandy land. Here, this is my phone number. Remember it. If you need any help in the future, you can contact me directly."

"My name is Gunnar Renze."

Chen Mu understood in seconds, this is how we can communicate more in the future!
Seeing that nothing happened, the village chief's wife didn't waste any time and went directly to the operating room.

Chen Mu was not in a hurry, but sent the car to the car wash first, and paid extra money to let the other party clean the inside of the car as well.

Then I went back to the hospital and helped to pay for the operation fee, hospitalization fee and other expenses before going to the operating room.

At the door of the operating room, Raj was squatting on the ground with his head buried low, unable to see the expression on his face.

The two Ah Nei were sitting aside, talking in a low voice.

"I've been holding it in for so long and it's premature delivery again. The child is probably..."

"Yes, yesterday I was talking about preparing the highland barley wine and butter that will be used in the Yangla children's "Panse Ceremony". I didn't expect that this would happen today."

The coloring ceremony is a Tibetan birth ceremony.

They believe that when a child comes out of the mother's womb, it will bring a lot of filth and bad luck. This ceremony is to remove the filth from the child and wish it healthy growth. At the same time, it also wishes the mother a speedy recovery.

It is held on the third day after birth for boys and on the fourth day for girls.

After not listening, Chen Mu saw the lonely Raj, and suddenly thought of himself, feeling sour in his heart, went straight to Raj, and squatted down next to him.

Raj noticed someone next to him and raised his head, with a fearful expression on his face. Seeing that he was an acquaintance, he couldn't help but squeeze towards Chen Mu.

"Did you call your dad?"

"Ane called me just now, and Dad said that he will come back as soon as possible."

That's good!
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Raj's muffled voice came: "Brother Chen Mu, I'm so scared, can you touch my head like Dad!" With anticipation and anxiety in his eyes, he stretched out his head pitifully.

Abba like that?

I just graduated, how can I feel the same as your dad?
Chen Mu couldn't laugh or cry, so he was about to refuse.

Among Tibetans, the top of the head, as the highest part of a person, is very sacred. Touching the top of the head is also meant to touch the top of the head.

And hands are very dirty and touch many things.It is a very serious insult to touch sacred parts with dirty hands.

Except for the elders in the family, only eminent monks can touch the heads of others.

This behavior is also called "blessing".

But after seeing the fear and anxiety on Raj's face, he finally put his hand up and rubbed it gently.

This was the first time he touched the head of a Tibetan child.

Not to mention, it feels really good!
Chen Mu comforted her softly: "Don't worry, your mother will be fine."

At this moment, the door of the operating room was pushed open.

The doctor came out, took off his mask and said, "The operation was a success, mother and daughter are safe."

"By the way, who is the family member, there are some things that need to be told to the family members individually."

Raj and the two Atus turned their heads instantly and looked at Chen Mu who was standing behind.

Chen Mu pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly, and said without emotion.

"The patient's husband is still out of town and hasn't come back. If you need anything, you can tell me."

"Okay, please come this way." The doctor walked towards the corner, avoiding the other three people, and whispered.

"Because of premature birth, the newborn is weak and has been in the mother's body for too long. Asphyxiation causes hypoxic-ischemic damage to the baby's brain, and subsequent symptoms such as unresponsiveness, lethargy, epilepsy, mental retardation, and rigidity of the limbs may occur. The mother If the uterus is injured, the possibility of getting pregnant again in the future is very low, please be mentally prepared.”

Chen Mu was startled, it was still too late.

Unexpectedly, when the news was told to Raj's father, Seda, Seda was extremely calm and only cared about the safety of mother and daughter and didn't care about anything else.

After staying in the hospital for more than an hour, Chen Mufang didn't leave the hospital until Yangla woke up.

At this time, it was approaching evening, the sun was setting, and the beautiful sunset was reflected in the sky.

In the sunset, Chen Mu drove the brand new Wuling Hongguang back to the store after cleaning.

……

In the evening, after eating, Chen Mu looked at the inventory book that he had just finished today, and then at the business account book in front of him, falling into a tangle.

Is this store going to be cleared?

Let's clear it up, although the store doesn't make much money, it's still an income anyway.

I don't know, but he really doesn't want to do it anymore!
Just then, Mama Chen's call came in.

After connecting, Chen Mu was about to talk about the store when he heard Chen Ma's angry questioning voice: "I heard that you contracted to plant trees yourself!"

Not good, to suffer!
really!

He didn't even need to say anything before Chen Ma started talking.

"What do you think? You went to a good university and spent so much money. If you don't find a job to earn money after graduation, you have to come back to be a sand control person."

"Forget it. Although sand control workers are a bit hard and tired, it is still an establishment and the salary is good. Just take it."

"But what about you?"

"You are not a sand control person, but turned around to engage in contracted tree planting? You are a forestry student, and your father and your father planted trees, so you can't imagine how big the risk is?! With such a small amount of money from our family, investing There is not even a sound when you go in, can you resist it?"

Although the words don't sound good, they are true.

Chen Mu smiled awkwardly, not daring to say anything.

Before contracting, he knew that his mother would talk about it, so he specifically told his father not to tell his mother.

But I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!

Lao Chen, who has been a strict wife all his life and has to hide even his pocket money, is indeed unreliable!
Ugh!
Chen Mu shook his head, a little helpless, and tried his best to put things in a positive light.

"Mom, the contract price is not expensive, so just plant it blindly. If it doesn't work, you can plant it into sand jujube and sea buckthorn. These two kinds of trees have good economic benefits."

"Not bad? Not bad, how good is it?!" Mama Chen didn't believe it at all.

"What about the money for digging wells? What about the money for saplings? What about the money for fertilizers? What about the labor costs when the fruits are ripe and picked later? What if there is a strong sandstorm? What if there are pests and diseases such as psyllids and beetles?"

"It's easy to say, but hard to do!"

Pests and diseases have always been one of the problems in planting trees, especially Eleuthero jujuba, which has the weakest resistance to pests and diseases.

In order to reduce the harm and impact of diseases and insect pests, the planting method of artificially sowing tamarisk, Populus euphratica and other seeds in the Elaeagnus elegans forest is generally implemented, and the Elaeagnus elegans forest is changed into a mixed forest.

As a result, coupled with expenses such as fertilizers, the cost will be much higher.

In addition, in order to destroy and reduce the source of psyllids, weeds and dead leaves under the forest must be regularly cleared, and winter irrigation must be carried out to eliminate insects.

In a word - cost money!
Chen Mu kept silent about these things, and only talked about things in a good direction.

"Mom, there are risks in doing anything these days. If it doesn't work, I will subcontract the land. Anyway, because of the policy, there are many people engaged in contracting."

"You said it lightly."

Mama Chen didn't believe it at all.

The Northwest is vast, with few people and no shortage of land. Even though there are many people engaged in contracting because of the policy, it is better to directly contract the land than to subcontract.

In addition, there are restrictions on the use of forest land, and the procedures for changing uses are troublesome, and those who plant pastures are unwilling to contract this forest land.

Mother Chen muttered a few more words, and Chen Mu laughed along with her. Slowly, Mother Chen's anger also dropped, and then she revealed her purpose.
