Zhang Xiaoli dressed as a bear.

Peng Yong's cotton pants were so thick that he could hardly move.

Luo Xuan took them and followed little girl Rongrong up the loess plateau.

Get ready to take a good look at the geography and landforms around the entire Zhimi County and Shilipu production team.

The mountains in Saibei are very big.

It is a completely different concept from the lush and rugged mountains in Bashu.

Not to mention the mountains rising from the ground like the karst landforms in western Guangdong and QDN.

On the plateau of Saibei, the mountains do not look very steep.

Like pottery bowls turned upside down: it covers a vast area and is continuous.

Looking up, it seems that it is easy to climb up the slopes. But in fact, when you actually start walking up the plateau, you will realize how difficult it is to climb up.

"call--"

When they arrived at the plateau, Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong were very tired. But when they looked up, they were immediately dumbfounded!

As far as the eye enters, there are vast plateaus all around.

Except for the yellow soil and the white snow, there is no other color at all.

rough, desolate, silent

Except for the howling north wind, which blew and relaxed in the sky, it was torn into white clouds like fluff.

There is no other view.

Zhang Xiaoli patted her forehead, and Peng Yong lightly slapped him in the face!

On the way here, the two of them had learned that Saibei was very short of water.

Peng Yong and Zhang Xiaoli secretly vowed in their hearts: They must lead the villagers to make great efforts to build canals!

In order to solve the shortage of irrigation and domestic water here once and for all.

Now I can see this landscape with my own eyes.

The hearts of Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong are like the frozen soil: they pull out the cold and pull out the cold.

In the past, I took it too much for granted!

Zhang Xiaoli was in despair there.

On the contrary, little girl Rongrong thought it was this beautiful sister who was tired from climbing and regretted climbing to the plateau.

then,

The very sensible little girl Rongrong opened her mouth to persuade Zhang Xiaoli.

"Sister, you can't be too hasty when climbing the plateau."

Xiao Rongrong handed Zhang Xiaoli a kettle and comforted her softly, "The slopes on our side are very long.

It doesn't look particularly steep, but if you want to climb from the bottom of the slope to the top, sister.

If you encounter a bigger hillside, you have to walk for a full hour."

Peng Yong was panting and sighed, "We who grew up in Bashu have to climb hills and climb hills. This is a compulsory course since childhood.

I never expected that when I came here, I was despised by a little girl."

"puff--"

Zhang Xiaoli took a sip of water and suddenly spurted it out, "Why is this saline water again?"

"The water in our entire village is like this."

Xiao Rongrong was a little puzzled, "Besides, our Shilipu is next to the river, so it's easier to dig a well to get water.

If there are families living on the plateau in Qingjian County or Zizhou County, and they want to carry a bucket of water, it will take them 2 or 3 hours to go back and forth!"

Peng Yong was shocked: "It takes 2 or 3 hours to go back and forth just for a load of water?! How is this possible? Now in our Bashu area, no matter how high he lives, there will still be water."

What Xiao Rongrong said is correct; what Peng Yong said is also correct.

Just like the top of Xiaolaojun Mountain, there is also a clear spring there.

Just because there is a saying that in the Bashu region, the mountains are high and the water is high.

Therefore, no matter how high the mountain is, there are countless small clear springs seeping out from the cracks in the rocks.

If you meet someone who is interested, you can collect these streams in ditches or small pools.

That can also guarantee the normal use of several households.

But it’s different in Saibei,

The amount of rainfall here throughout the year is far less than that in Bashu.

In addition, the loess landform has a high water permeability rate. In addition, there is sparse vegetation in Saibei, so it is difficult to retain water on the plateau.

Xiao Rongrong saw that Peng Yong didn't believe it.

Then he pointed to a house on the plateau and said, "Brother, how about I take you to take a look?"

Zhang Xiaoli quickly cheered, "Okay, I just want to see how the oldest and most difficult people here live."

Xiao Rongrong smiled slightly.

But there was clearly a deep sadness hidden in her smile and eyes.

Everyone walked forward.

Zhang Xiaoli asked her, "Sister Rongrong, what was your reason for doing this this morning?"

Xiao Rongrong blushed.

Like half-burned coke: black and red, really different.

Just because the little Rongrong in front of her is still young.

He is dark, thin, and small.

So when she blushed, a blush appeared on her slightly darkened face.

It's like a ray of sunshine shining through the dark clouds.

fleeting.

"Sister, can I not say it?"

Xiao Rongrong seemed a little reluctant to mention this, "Anyway, I'm used to being beaten."

Zhang Xiaoli touched Xiao Rongrong's head lovingly and said softly, "Little sister! When you encounter a problem, you should not first think about how to escape.

If you don't speak up today, we won't know how to help you."

Zhang Xiaoli took out a sesame cake filled with white flour and brown sugar from her pocket.

He broke it open and stuffed it into Xiao Rongrong's face, "But if I, sister, knew what was going on.

Maybe I can figure out a way to stop you from being beaten in the future, so you can play in peace, right?"

I saw Xiao Rongrong preparing to stuff the sesame cake into the pocket of her old cotton-padded jacket.

Zhang Xiaoli made a serious face: "I broke the pancake on purpose just now, just because I wanted you to eat it in front of me.

Instead of asking you to take it home and share it with your brothers and sisters. This cake is only for you, no one else is allowed to eat it!"

Little Rongrong raised her head pitifully, "My two younger sisters and younger brother, they are also greedy! I have never eaten such a fragrant cake with sugar in it. I have never eaten it since I have grown up."

This sesame cake,

Zhang Xiaoli bought it before taking the train in the provincial capital of Bashu.

It is intended to be used as dry food on the road.

Xiao Rongrong basically never left the village. Where could she see such luxurious pastries?

I heard Zhang Xiaoli say this.

Xiao Rongrong's face showed a trace of sadness and hesitation again

"play?"

Xiao Rongrong showed a 39-year-old wry smile at a 9-year-old age, "I have to chop wood, carry water, wash faces and clothes for my younger brothers and sisters every day."

Luo Xuan sighed.

Then he took out a small glass bottle from his backpack.

He stretched out his hand and handed it to Zhang Xiaoli, "This is snake oil ointment. There may be a little Vaseline in it. You can put it on her. Look at Xiao Rongrong's hands. Sigh."

Previously, Xiao Rongrong,

She had hidden her hands, intentionally or unintentionally.

If she encounters a climb, she will hide her hands in her sleeves in order to maintain her balance.
