Rebirth begins with e-commerce

"Old man, how long have you lived here?"

Guan Shiyu chatted with the old man selling mutton skewers.

"It has been more than 20 years. We were the first batch of forest rangers. We have been planting trees for more than 20 years. Now our legs and feet are not working and we cannot dig the soil."

When the old man talked about his experience, his tone was very calm, 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, and my son and daughter-in-law are now rangers. They come back once a month."

"So, the son has inherited his father's legacy."

Guan Shiyu was a little speechless after talking to this point.

They can say that the first, second, or even third generation have dedicated their lives here.

"Let's 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 cannot reach it directly, we have to walk a relatively long distance."

"Then let's just walk."

It's unreasonable that people can work here for the rest of their lives, but I can't even walk a few steps.

The staff saw that Luo Xiu insisted on going, so they turned around to make arrangements.

When the vehicle reaches the edge of the forest, it is necessary to get off the vehicle and walk.

Just walking is easy, but having to carry a water tank, saplings, and tools on your back is not easy.

Because the newly planted saplings must be watered to survive, and the forest land they went to had no direct access to water pipes, so they had to carry water manually.

Luo Xiu volunteered to carry a twenty-kilogram water tank on his back. Guan Shiyu was not that strong, but she also carried saplings on her back.

It was very difficult to walk on the soft sandy ground with my feet.

Luo Xiu saw that Guan Shiyu was sweating profusely, so he reached out to hold her backpack to help her lighten some weight.

Guan Shiyu felt that the backpack became lighter, turned her head, and said unhappily: "Let go, I can do it."

“If you can’t carry it, don’t force it.”

"I said I could."

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

"Okay, walk slowly."

After finally reaching the destination, Luo Xiu felt like half of his life was gone.

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

It helps a certain amount in terms of physical strength, but compared with these people who have been working for a long time, it is far behind.

Everyone rested for a while and then started planting trees.

First dig a hole, put the sapling down, cover it with soil, and then water it.

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

The staff member took out a camera and said, "Mr. Luo and Miss Guan, please take off your veils and take a photo together."

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

Just like today's boys and girls traveling abroad, if they don't take photos and post them on Moments, isn't it all in vain?

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

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

Luo Xiu waved his hand angrily, "Don't pat me. If you want to pat me, just pat the ranger working over there."

He understands the need for publicity very well and has done this often in the past.

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

…

There were not many saplings brought this time. After they were planted, Luo Xiu sat down to rest.

"Brother, you should also take a rest!"

Luo Xiu called to a ranger next to him.

"Hey, okay!"

The elder brother sat down with a silly smile.

"How long have you been working here, brother?" Luo Xiu asked.

"It's been six or seven years."

"Does it feel hard?"

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

"Have you been worried about anything recently?"

"There's nothing to worry about." The eldest brother thought for a while and 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 elder brother seems to be very honest, and he will answer whatever is asked.

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

…

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

I just had something to eat and then fell asleep.

On the second day, we continued to visit the breeding base.

There are many humble staff members in the base who were once the proud students of the university.

Some are beautiful seniors who were born in the south, are gentle and graceful, and have long flowing hair.

After plunging into this great northwest, my green and jade fingers, which were originally untouched by spring water, became rough.

My long hair has already been cut short.

The young and beautiful face also became determined.

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

Without their perseverance for so many years, without them devoting their youth here for so many years, we would not have been able to develop so many sapling varieties with strong vitality, drought resistance and thirst resistance.

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

In a high-end office building, hold a cup of coffee and open your laptop elegantly.

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

Of course, there will also be pressure from work, marriage, and buying a house.

But compared with the current hardships, these pressures may only be happy little troubles.

…

They also welcomed Luo Xiu's arrival.

Among them was a recent graduate 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 we encounter this kind of situation normally, a thick-skinned person like Luo Xiu will definitely respond generously.

But at this time, he felt a little embarrassed.

His deceptive speeches became a bit vulnerable when faced with people who were actually doing things.

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

Luo Xiu could only respond like this.

"Mr. Luo, you have given me the award."

The boy scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Is there anything you are lacking 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 cannot be rushed."

After listening to his words, Luo Xiu realized that the help he could give was indeed too little.

He overestimated himself a bit.

Perhaps the only thing that can be done is to use the little influence that one has 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 invading wind and sand.

Build a green Great Wall.

Protect the great northwest of the motherland.
