    ?

    Yang Heyu climbed on the table and asked with great interest what are macadamia nuts?

    Yang Shiqing dipped the water in the bowl with his chopsticks and drew a big circle on the table.  The distorted water stains cut the plane into pieces. Yang Shiqing raised the chopsticks and pointed in the air, telling Yang Heyu where is China and where is Australia.

    He told Yang Heyu that the macadamia nut is a fruit from a distant country far away across the ocean. It has a strong aroma, a lingering taste, and is very delicious.

    Seeing his father's drooling, Yang Heyu bit his lip and asked inquiringly, "Dad, have you ever eaten?"

    Yang Shiqing shook his head and replied: "Not now, let's try together in the future to see if it really lives up to its name."

    Yang Heyu smiled. He tilted his head, looked at the map his father had drawn casually, and murmured to himself: "It's so amazing that a small fruit floats from such a distance, and it wants to grow in front of my house Can it  Can you survive?"

    "I believe that as long as it takes root, it will be able to germinate, bloom and bear fruit. But if we want a good harvest, generations of people need to work hard to cultivate it. The land under our feet is smart, it can  If you understand the seeds, you will not live up to the sweat."

    "Then I will help you, and I will ask my son and my son's son to help you in the future."

    Yang Heyu's children's words added joy to the whole room. Yang Shiqing stroked his son's little head and looked at Boye.  The old man was not as excited as he imagined, he just smoked the hookah quietly and intently, making a series of "gurgling" sounds.

    "Dad, the fruiting period of this macadamia nut is 70-80 years, and a tree can support several generations"

    Boye, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised his hand and interrupted Yang Shiqing's words. His voice was thick and deep, and it sounded hoarse because of smoking all the year round, revealing majesty:

    "I just can't understand the brute force of your work. At the beginning, when you said you wanted to plant rubber trees, you cut down old forests all over the mountains"

    "Rubber planting is a strategic reserve," Yang Shiqing knew what his father-in-law wanted to say, and he reminded: "You understand."

    "Yes. But I feel sorry for you! You people are latecomers. You haven't lived enough in the land of Heliu, and you don't feel it! I can understand what you said, but have you looked up at this piece of sky? Smell  Have you passed the wind here? Have you touched the soil here?"

    Poyeboye shook his head, sighed, and said, "It's worse than before."

    Yang Heyu seldom saw his grandfather in distress, so he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.  Subconsciously, he leaned towards Boyer, and stretched out his soft hand to touch his grandfather's rough and dark skin, as if he wanted to comfort him.

    The room became very quiet.

    Because of talking, Boyer's hookah stopped, and the melodious purr sounded news;

    Because of the memory, Yang Shiqing's excited words also stopped, and he silently remembered the past¡ªit was the wheel of history that brought him here.

    When I first arrived in Heliu, it still looked like a virgin forest.  At that time, they only did one thing every day: cut down trees.

    "Destroy a batch of trees and plant another batch of trees."

    This slogan is still fresh in Yang Shiqing's memory. At that time, he had blisters on his hands, sores on his feet, fire in his chest, and light in his eyes.

    It was their generation who devoted their youth to breaking the conclusion that China is a forbidden area for rubber planting and announcing to the world that China's rubber plantation extends to the vicinity of the Tropic of Cancer, above 1,200 meters above sea level.

    This is a miracle worthy of Yang Shiqing's lifetime pride, and he will never regret it.

    But he can understand the troubles of Boyer's generation.  His understanding not only has emotional resonance, but also professional support.

    It has been 15 years since Yang Shiqing came to Heliu. He has grown from a young man who only knows how to cut trees to a business expert in the agricultural reclamation system.  Perhaps, he doesn't have Boyer's keen intuition to perceive changes from the rain and wind in the world.  But the book has already told him:

    ?Large-scale monoculture will cause the forestland to lose its diversity, and both climate, land and water sources will be inevitably affected.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
