Chapter 272
New Year’s Eve (2)
After communicating with Li Zhigang, Cao Chunyuan contacted Sophia, whom she had not seen for a long time, and ordered several General Motors cars through Sophia.
These cars were prepared by her for her generals. These were the New Year gifts that Wang Manni had been thinking about.
After finishing the work at hand, Cao Chunyuan found Cao Fengxia who was cleaning the yard and told Cao Fengxia that Li Zhigang was too busy at work and would not be back during the New Year.
Cao Fengxia's reaction was much more normal than Li Xianglan's, but it was a pity that Li Zhigang couldn't go home with Wang Manni. She hoped that Li Zhigang could have a try outside.
"Ernie, Ernie, come here quickly!"
Just as Cao Chunyuan and Cao Fengxia were chatting about New Year arrangements, Li Xianglan's hurried shouting suddenly came from the living room. Cao Chunyuan thought something was wrong with Li Xianglan, so she ran into the living room.
As a result, Li Xianglan was watching TV very seriously, and Cao Chunyuan was so angry that she felt a little dizzy. But who knew that Li Xianglan was her biological mother? She could only tolerate it.
"Mom, are you watching the news?"
While staring at the TV screen, Li Xianglan reached out and asked Cao Chunyuan to sit next to her, "Come here quickly. This is news about our village. I saw you just now."
"ah?"
Cao Chunyuan looked carefully and realized that the picture on the TV was the distant view of the greenhouse in Liujiacun. The picture was moving slowly. This scene should have been recorded when Cao Chunyuan and Pei Shaorong were riding in a car together from Dazhangzi Scientific Research Center back to Liujiacun.
Soon, the scene came to the greenhouse of Ma Laosan's house, followed by the TV station's interview with Ma Laosan.
Li Xianglan curled her lips and said very unconvinced: "This Ma Laosan can actually be on TV. It's really smoke coming out of the ancestral graves."
Cao Fengxia on the side also complained: "If I had known that I could join the Chinese Guards, I would have picked strawberries later. This is a good opportunity to show my face in front of the people of the country."
Cao Chunyuan is somewhat disapproving of being on TV. She used to imagine that she would become a big star, be able to make movies and TV series, and appear on TV as a star in the entertainment industry.
But after she traveled through time, she had no chance to take that path. She inexplicably became a farmer entrepreneur, agricultural research expert, etc.
She now has too many titles, some of which she is embarrassed to admit.
Moreover, many unscrupulous media used Cao Chunyuan's last participation in the Agricultural Promotion Conference to hype her up. She is now considered a 'celebrity'.
Therefore, Cao Chunyuan not only doesn't like to be on TV, but also resists it.
"Hey, isn't this Lao Cao? Lao Cao is also on TV."
"Hey, isn't this Director Yan? He also appeared on TV."
Hearing this, Cao Chunyuan quickly looked up. In the picture, the reporter was interviewing Cao Shien, the head of Liujia Village, and Yan Ruixing also watched a few pictures.
Cao Shien acted very nervous and stuttered a bit when he spoke, which made Cao Chunyuan want to laugh.
"Mom, why don't you call my dad and tell him to come back and watch him on TV?"
Li Xianglan waved her hand and said, "No, this program will be re-broadcast in the evening, so he can watch the full version."
"All right!"
Cao Chunyuan shrugged and was about to go out. The scene just changed to her and Pei Shaorong discussing drip irrigation technology in the greenhouse. Cao Chunyuan's mouth was slightly open. At that time, she was only concentrating on communicating with Pei Shaorong and did not notice that there was someone filming them.
These are all fine, but the most speechless thing is that Cao Chunyuan was given the note "Agricultural Research Expert" on the TV screen.
Cao Chunyuan's family knows her own family affairs. She barely knows some knowledge about planting now. Her level is not even comparable to that of ordinary freshmen of the Agricultural University.
Just this, an agricultural research expert?
Fortunately, the Internet is not developed enough now. If it were placed in 2022, she might be sprayed by netizens!
Cao Chunyuan herself knows that she is not the one, but others don't think so, especially those in her family.
Li Xianglan turned her head and looked at Cao Chunyuan very curiously.
"Ernie, what is drip irrigation technology?"
Cao Chunyuan scratched her head and explained: "Drip irrigation technology is to place water pipes in the field. The water pipes have water holes at regular intervals. When you turn on the faucet, you can water the ground.
This technology is suitable for areas that are relatively dry and lack water, and drip irrigation technology is also suitable for greenhouses."
Hearing this, Li Xianglan curled her lips and said: "How many water pipes do you need to lay in a greenhouse on one acre of land? Why don't we do this work ourselves? This thing is suitable for lazy people like Ergouzi."
"Haha~"
Cao Chunyuan smiled awkwardly but politely. Li Xianglan had the same idea as most farmers in the country. The average cultivated land area of domestic farmers is small and the population is large, so they are not suitable for using this technology.
This is also the reason why, 20 years after the introduction of drip irrigation technology in China, it still has not spread.
"Mom, you can't just take this kind of thing at face value. You have to think about how the people in our village will become rich in the future and become households worth one hundred thousand yuan or one million yuan. Will they still be willing to work hard to farm?
At that time, using this advanced planting technology can reduce everyone's workload, and I believe many people will be willing to try it.
After the Chinese New Year, I will negotiate with greenhouse growers to let them use drip irrigation technology."
Li Xianglan blinked. She initially thought that drip irrigation technology was a lazy planting method that only lazy people would use. But thinking of the example given by Cao Chunyuan, who would be willing to farm when everyone has money in the future!
At that time, this "lazy" planting technology became a technology that everyone needed.
"Uh, that."
Before Li Xianglan finished speaking, Cao Fengxia took over the topic.
"Erni, I support you. Our greenhouse is the first to install this drip irrigation equipment. We want to continue to be Liujia Village, oh no, we want to be a role model for growers in Dazhangzi Township."
Li Xianglan's mouth twitched slightly as she was robbed of the topic, and she secretly thought, "You will say, when something good was not arranged for you, you still pretended to be a good person."
If this is a thankless task, I wonder if you still want to grab it!
"Haha, the second sister is still very enlightened and rushes to do everything. She is really a role model for our Liujia Village."
Hearing this, Cao Fengxia was like a proud big rooster, with her head held high and her chest high, all she needed was to have the words "I am the benchmark" and "I am the best" printed on her forehead.
Cao Chunyuan was so amused by the way the two sang and harmonized that she was speechless. She watched them dumbfounded as they performed in front of her.
‘dang dang dang’
"Is Shien at home?"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house. Cao Chunyuan hurried out to check. When she opened the door and saw several people outside, she was stunned.
There were three people outside, a young man aged 24 or 25, and two older couples. The couple looked slightly older than Li Xianglan and Cao Fengxia. The most important thing was that this woman looked very different from Cao Shien.
Three points are similar.
Cao Chunyuan blinked and asked with some uncertainty: "Auntie?"
