When Yang Xiaotao drove back, it was already past three in the afternoon.
The car parked at the entrance of the brigade department, and as soon as I got off the car I felt the strong New Year atmosphere.
"It's the right time for you to come back. The family is killing chickens. Don't leave tonight."
Yang Dazhuang said happily when he saw Yang Xiaotao coming down.
These days they say the chicken’s butt is the bank and the old lady is the president.
This shows the status of chicken in people's hearts.
Especially in rural areas, it is an important channel for farmers to improve their lives and provide economic sources.
Therefore, people often kill chickens to entertain guests during the New Year, which is very rare these days.
Of course, being rare does not mean that it is impossible.
Some wealthy and capable families will also raise a few roosters to improve their lives.
Because of its relationship with the farm, Yangjiazhuang is like an independent entity in this world.
In addition to completing the breeding work required by superiors, the production income does not need to be handed over.
That is to say, Yangjiazhuang does not need to pay public surplus grain, and every household has something on hand, so that they can kill chickens during the New Year.
"No, I have to take Grandpa up now."
"If you ask me, it's fine for me to just celebrate the New Year here. With all the things you have to do, you should take care of yourself first. It's not like there's no one in the village."
Yang Dazhuang said nonchalantly. Next to him, Uncle Jiu came over and laughed, "What Dazhuang said makes sense."
"When the time comes, just bring him back and kowtow on the first day of the new year."
"When your heart comes to it, it will come true."
Several people tried to persuade him, but Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "After the Chinese New Year, I happened to take my grandfather to the hospital for a check-up."
"As you get older, you have to be more careful."
Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, it was inconvenient for several people to persuade him.
In the early years, my grandfather led a group of old brothers to crawl through the flames of war, and those who survived were covered in scars.
Over the past few years, thanks to Xiaowei's help in taking care of her, she has managed to stay healthy.
But time is the most terrifying thing, it can corrode everything in the world.
The only difference is the length of time.
That's why Yang Xiaotao thought about taking him to the hospital for a check-up after the new year.
"makes sense!"
Uncle Jiu agreed, and then thought of something, "By the way, Qiuye, tell me. There have been many students coming to the city recently, and I am thinking of recruiting more students to be teachers. There will be more students in the coming year, and there will be more needs."
Uncle Jiu talked about school affairs for a while. Since Teacher Hong left, the usual trivial matters in the school have fallen to Uncle Jiu.
Grandpa, the nominal principal, only came here when he had time. As for Ran Qiuye, who is currently focusing on building a school, the village's school naturally cannot take care of it.
"Okay, I'll tell her later."
Yang Xiaotao responded, and then asked, "Where is the master?"
"My grandpa is still in the shed."
"You don't know, now it has become the treasure of the whole village."
Yang Shitou smiled at the side. "It's warmer inside than the kang in your own home. Many people sleep in it at night."
"It can not only watch over the greenhouse at night, but also protect the greenhouse."
"Yeah, that's a lot of things!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled, and then rushed to the greenhouse with Yang Shitou and others.
Come to the south of the village and stand on the river bank.
What catches the eye is a silver-white, tightly arranged greenhouse, with gray mud walls neatly arranged, and the white film in front reflects the dazzling light, like white waves.
White softness, as the wind blows, this silvery white wave begins to sway, and buzzing sounds sound from time to time, like sparkling water, just like the frozen river water next to it.
Under the greenhouse, what is reflected are clusters of emerald green, and children running and hiding in the middle. Amidst the laughter, adults are scolding from time to time.
Yang Xiaotao walked down the river bank and quickly disappeared into the silvery white waves.
"I'm not going, I can just celebrate the New Year here!"
Mr. Yang was sitting in a greenhouse, looking at the thermometer hanging on the wood from time to time.
Yang Xiaotao persuaded from the side, and Gao Yufeng also nodded.
"Old secretary, it's fine as long as we are here."
"No, I'm not worried! These herbs almost went bad a while ago, but you have to watch them carefully."
"We have accepted the task. If we fail to complete it, it will delay the construction of the country. It will not work!"
Mr. Yang raised his head. The green grass in front of him was their mission and his treasure.
But nothing can go wrong.
Gao Yufeng on the side didn't say anything after hearing this.
In the past, one person was on duty in each greenhouse at night, but as the New Year is approaching, the weather may be very cold, and the growth of these herbs is obviously slow, and some greenhouses are even showing signs of sluggishness.
This startled them.
The number of people on duty at night also changed from one to two.
And make every effort to ensure the temperature of the greenhouse.
But as a result, not only do they have to stay on duty at night, they also have to pull the curtains during the day, and they also have to take care of the herbs in the greenhouse, so the manpower in the village is not enough.
Yang Xiaotao understood this in his heart.
Perhaps part of it is the cold weather, but more of it is the loss of Xiaowei's plug-in.
Without her help and care, many problems would naturally arise.
But now that Xiaowei is back, as long as she is given time, these problems will naturally be solved.
But Yang Xiaotao couldn't say anything about it.
So, after some persuasion, Yang Xiaotao focused on the main point of contradiction.
Under the gaze of Gao Yufeng and Mr. Yang, Yang Xiaotao walked to the middle of the herbs, then pretended to inspect them carefully, and then picked a leaf with his fingers and observed it carefully.
She seemed to be observing, but it was Xiaowei who was inspecting carefully.
After watching for a while, Xiaowei explained the situation. Indeed, the energy in the body of the wormwood in the greenhouse was a little low.
"Master, the energy in this grass is relatively small. I think the photosynthesis should be too weak."
Xiaowei's explanation helped Yang Xiaotao understand the current situation.
To put it bluntly, photosynthesis also requires conditions.
In addition to light energy, there is also water and carbon dioxide.
In addition to photosynthesis, there is also respiration.
These two functions complement each other and are indispensable.
Yang Xiaotao understood the situation, and then he stood up seriously, walked to the side and picked up the record book in Hou Lijing's hand.
Everyone saw Yang Xiaotao's serious face, even Mr. Yang pursed his lips and did not dare to disturb Yang Xiaotao.
"Are the temperatures inside here real?"
"Yes, every one of them is confirmed."
Yang Xiaotao looked at almost the same data and felt that it was not very real.
"Is this true for other greenhouses too?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Director Gao, and Gao Yufeng nodded, "It's almost like this."
"What, is there a problem?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "The temperature difference is not quite right."
"What's wrong?"
"You see, when the weather was warm in the past, the day and night were about the same."
"It's getting cold now, and the outdoor temperature has dropped by three to four degrees, but the temperature inside is the same as before. This doesn't work!"
"We also need to make appropriate adjustments."
Gao Yufeng and Hou Lijing looked at each other. Hou Lijing thought for a moment and asked, "But the temperature has dropped, will it freeze?"
"No! You've also been to the northwest, where it's extremely hot during the day and you have to wear long sleeves at night. So it's still necessary to have a proper cold spot."
Gao Yufeng listened and thought for a while, and finally nodded.
"Listen to Team Leader Yang on this matter!"
Hou Lijing nodded, even if Gao Yufeng didn't say anything, she would do what Yang Xiaotao said.
"besides!"
Yang Xiaotao looked serious, "It's too tight here, this won't work!"
"What?"
Mr. Yang didn't know whether he didn't hear clearly or felt that the meaning of Yang Xiaotao's words was wrong, "This is not strict anymore, let it be ventilated!"
"It's not cold in there!"
Mr. Yang said in confusion, but found that Yang Xiaotao was still shaking his head.
He even looked at Gao Yufeng and Hou Lijing, "I tried it just now. The soil moisture is okay and there is no shortage of water."
"This film is light-transmissive, so it's not a problem."
"But there is another key factor in photosynthesis, and that is carbon dioxide."
"You should know this when you are studying."
As soon as Yang Xiaotao explained the situation, Gao Yufeng immediately clapped his hands together with a look of sadness on his face, "How could I forget this!"
Hou Lijing knew about photosynthesis, but her previous focus was on temperature maintenance, and she forgot about this aspect.
"I will let the greenhouse breathe for a while every day."
After finding the problem, Gao Yufeng was very happy. He looked at Yang Xiaotao with even more grateful eyes, "It's a blessing that you came back, otherwise we wouldn't know what would have happened."
"No, I have to tell the dean that it's best for you to stay. You must stay to help!"
Gao Yufeng felt a little scared, but also a little happy.
I'm afraid that if this continues, if everything is ruined, how can I explain it?
Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao is back. The problem was discovered early and can be corrected.
"Lao Gao, you can't repay kindness with hatred!"
After Yang Xiaotao heard Gao Yufeng's words, he finally rejected the dean at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. If this guy brought it up again, it would be repaying kindness with enmity.
"How could it be? I am responsible for the revolutionary mission!"
Gao Yufeng immediately understood the meaning of Yang Xiaotao's words and even laughed and joked.
"If you want to do this, I'll take the things back!"
"No, no! I still hope to take things home and have a good year!"
Gao Yufeng quickly advised him, there was no reason to return what he had obtained.
What's more, what Yang Xiaotao gave was meat, eggs and duck eggs, which are hard dishes served during the Chinese New Year.
If you take it home, you will be more proud in front of your daughter-in-law.
"Just open it for fifteen minutes at noon every day."
Yang Xiaotao suggested, and Gao Yufeng nodded immediately.
And these fifteen minutes were enough for Xiaowei to fly back and forth to the farm twice.
Then Gao Yufeng and Hou Lijing immediately went out to greet people and give instructions. Mr. Yang on the side could hear the words clearly, but the combination was so intense that he felt a little confused.
What does photosynthesis mean?
What carbon dioxide, what is that?
I don’t understand, I don’t understand anything!
But when I saw Yang Xiaotao holding the pearl of wisdom in his hand, I felt very powerful.
The persistence in my heart no longer mattered.
"Can this be done?"
Mr. Yang still felt that it was not real, so he asked immediately.
"It can definitely happen, you have to believe in science!"
Mr. Yang opened his mouth, but in the end he had nothing to say.
Science, what is it?
Finally, Mr. Yang got into the car, waved to Uncle Yang Dazhuang and others, and left in the car.
Now, he understands that there is no point in working hard on some things.
It still has to be done by capable people.
"By the way, how is the matter at your grandpa's place being resolved?"
In the car, Mr. Yang was holding a cigarette pouch and a pot in his hand, and asked questions as if nothing had happened.
"It's solved. Anyway, the person is fine."
Yang Xiaotao didn't say much. Some things didn't happen and it would be useless to talk about them.
However, he also wanted to know, without those two people, how would the course of history change?
"By the way, Grandpa, grandpa asked me to bring this to you!"
Yang Xiaotao took out an iron box from his pocket and handed it over.
"Hey, Lao Jin still remembers it!"
"No, I have been asking him for it before, but he was reluctant to part with it."
Yang Xiaotao looked at the iron box. This was not from the United States, but a wine bottle from Germany.
There are not many of these in the country.
And drinking from this compact wine flask is much more stylish than holding a wine bottle.
I don’t know why I gave it to my grandfather!
Mr. Yang smiled and took the iron box, "When we chatted last time, he said there was such a wine flask. I said I had never seen it before, so he said he had one at home and would give it to me when the time came."
After speaking, he turned his head and took a sip.
"Well, it's a bit like Laojiao!"
In this way, Mr. Yang sipped his mouth all the way, and when it got dark, he returned to the courtyard.
