Driving the jeep, we first returned to the courtyard, closed the doors and windows, took some things with us, and headed to Yangjiazhuang.
When we returned to Yangjiazhuang, it was still dark and there were still people working in the fields.
From far away, you can hear the sound of the tractor, and when you get closer, you can see the black smoke coming out.
Yang Xiaotao didn't stop the car and went straight back home.
School has ended, Mr. Yang is watching the children, and Ran Qiuye is cooking at home.
Originally, there was no need for Ran Qiuye to cook, as the surrounding Yang Dazhuang and Yang Shitou families would come to help, but now the whole village, or rather the whole village, is busy cultivating land.
The previously uncultivated areas have also been reclaimed, and corn has been planted where other crops were previously grown.
In a word, respond to the requirements of superiors and breed as much as possible.
There was a lot of excitement in the farm, including the children in the school. Except for the graduating class who had to attend half-day classes every day, the other children were organized to go to the fields to pull weeds and smash knots.
The car stopped and Yang Xiaotao walked in with his things.
"You're back?"
Ran Qiuye was very happy to see Yang Xiaotao.
I didn't come back last week, so I knew Yang Xiaotao was busy with work, so I didn't think much about it this time. I didn't expect that he would come back today.
"Things at the steel rolling mill are on track. I'll come back and lie down when I have time today."
"Besides, tomorrow is Qingming Festival, isn't it?"
Yang Xiaotao put down a basket of eggs, walked to Ran Qiuye, and hugged her gently.
"Did you miss me?"
"No!"
Ran Qiuye answered simply, but Yang Xiaotao didn't believe it. He stretched out his hand and touched his stomach, "They both told me that you were lying."
"Nonsense, what do they know?"
"Hey, of course they know, that's my seed."
"Nothing serious again."
Ran Qiuye couldn't resist Yang Xiaotao's scurrying hands, then turned around and prepared to add more dishes.
Yang Xiaotao took the kitchen knife and put it aside.
"Where are Taiye and Dragon Boat Festival?"
"I guess I went out to play."
Ran Qiuye straightened up and rubbed her back. Yang Xiaotao saw her and helped her sit down on a stool. "She feels heavy. You need to pay attention to rest. I'll go back after watching for a while. I can also take care of you."
"It's okay. The village will be busy with farming for a while. It'll be fine after that. Besides, this year is the school's first entrance examination, so there are some things I can't do without."
Ran Qiuye spoke seriously. Seeing his appearance, Yang Xiaotao knew the other person's personality and did not speak.
"Anyway, be careful and tell me if anything happens."
"Well, don't worry. I feel that my health is better than when I was pregnant with Dragon Boat Festival. I don't know if it's an illusion."
Ran Qiuye smiled, this was also her true feeling in her heart.
Yang Xiaotao smiled after hearing this, knowing that it was all Xiaowei's fault, but he couldn't explain it.
Get close to you.
"Do you think it's my business?"
Ran Qiuye immediately understood what Yang Xiaotao meant when he saw him like this.
"You're just talking nonsense!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and started cooking.
Dinner was very late, and those who were working in the fields did not go home until it was completely dark. It was only then that every household opened fire.
Some children couldn't bear the hunger and gnawed on the hard steamed buns at the door while looking at the vegetables in the pot.
After Yang Xiaotao cooked the meal, Mr. Yang came back with the Dragon Boat Festival in his arms. The little guy was healthier and more energetic.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao actually wanted to come down and take two steps, holding a piece of long grass in his hand, he was beating and screaming, looking like a human cub making trouble.
Beside him, Wangcai's fur was stained with dust. He saw Yang Xiaotao whimpering, obviously being disturbed by the human cub.
After eating, Yang Xiaotao took care of Ran Qiuye to rest, and then went to the brigade headquarters to check on the situation.
Since the last meeting, people in the entire three villages of the farm have been put on a chain, and are required to plant corn on any available land.
Although Yang Xiaotao felt it was inappropriate, he didn't say anything more. After all, it was a request from his superiors.
Yang Dazhuang and others summarized the situation at the brigade headquarters and then continued working tomorrow.
Yang Xiaotao listened for a while, then left the brigade headquarters and looked at the gloomy sky above his head, "It rains heavily every day during the Qingming Festival. It's true."
He muttered and returned home.
Yang Xiaotao went to bed early in the evening. He had been disturbed by the corn incident these days. Now leaning on Ran Qiuye, fatigue suddenly came over him and he fell asleep quickly.
At midnight, it started to rain heavily outside.
In the early morning, Yang Xiaotao got up, and only little Duanwu was left sleeping with his butt sticking out.
There was the sound of pots and bowls clattering outside, and Yang Xiaotao touched Dragon Boat Festival's little face, which was so tender.
I just got up and breakfast was already prepared.
"Something didn't feel right for you last night. You were quite busy?"
Mr. Yang handed over a bowl of polenta, and Yang Xiaotao took it. Then he added a few radish strips with chopsticks and stirred it twice. The yellow polenta quickly turned gray under the influence of soy sauce on the radish strips.
"It's okay, but my brain has been a bit lacking recently and my heart is tired."
Yang Xiaotao took a sip, but it was still a bit bland, and then picked up the soy sauce bottle on the table. After it was cooked, it had a bit of a taste.
"Take a rest when you are tired."
Ran Qiuye peeled the eggs and put them in Yang Xiaotao's bowl.
"Um!"
Yang Xiaotao responded and looked at Ran Qiuye. He had a good sleep last night and felt much better.
Sure enough, when we are tired, Gentleness is the most supportive place for ordinary people.
"Go out for a walk in a while."
The master said a few words and Yang Xiaotao nodded.
After breakfast, I hugged the little Dragon Boat Festival who looked angry about getting out of bed, and walked behind Mr. Yang.
It rained a lot last night and it's still cloudy now.
It's impossible to work in this kind of weather, but waiting for a nice day tomorrow and the sun to come out is the best time to plant.
The ground retains water, so the planted corn does not need to be irrigated, and the moist environment can germinate quickly.
Of course, there will also be more weeds in the ground, and these will have to be cleaned up after they grow out.
Following Mr. Yang around the village, many people were arranging farm tools at home. The farming season is not to be missed, and it is rare to find a farming season as awesome as God's.
The three grandfathers and grandsons came to Nanhe and looked at the rushing river. Little Duanwu waved his arms to go down, but Yang Xiaotao slapped him on the buttocks, so he became honest.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Have you been busy lately?"
Mr. Yang didn't speak much, and he kept saying the same words back and forth.
But it was normal for Yang Xiaotao to hear this, and only people who care about themselves would keep asking.
"Well, I'm going to the northwest soon, but..."
Yang Xiaotao talked about the difficulties he encountered, but Mr. Yang did not speak.
Ask him to tell you how to farm and fight, and he will be able to tell you.
But when it comes to how to study corn, he doesn't know what to say.
However, after talking to Mr. Yang for a while, Yang Xiaotao felt much better mentally.
"Don't make it difficult for yourself if you can't do it."
"There are some things that you try so hard to find, but they always hide and seek with you."
"But when you don't pay attention to it, it will come out inadvertently."
Mr. Yang picked up a stone and knocked a few floats on the water, causing Little Dragon Boat Festival to wave his hands and shout indistinct words.
"Actually, in my opinion, it's all because of the people who are looking for it. I keep thinking about where it is, so I look for it in that place."
"There's simply nothing else to think about."
As he spoke, Mr. Yang threw out two more stones, then walked to the little Dragon Boat Festival, stuffed a small stone in, and he and his grandson threw it into the water.
Every time the stone fell into the water, the little Dragon Boat Festival was very happy.
Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while and suddenly felt that what his grandfather said made sense.
Since this road is blocked, just find another way.
I found a flat rectangular stone, threw it out hard, and rubbed it, leaving a long series of ripples on the flowing river, and finally a water mark.
"Hit~hehe~~"
"What are you hunting for? Wait here, dad will catch fish for you."
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, and stepped on the weeds to the water's edge.
In the past, every time the river flooded, the grass by the river would be filled with fish.
I stepped into the water in three or two steps, it was very cold.
However, due to my extraordinary sense, it was obvious that something was swimming around when I entered the water.
He lowered his body slowly and slowly groped among the water plants with his hands.
Wow
Yang Xiaotao had quick eyes and quick hands, and the moment his hands touched, he pushed it up and threw it.
snap
An arm-long carp was thrown ashore, and its body hit the grass and was still jumping around, trying to get back into the water.
Mr. Yang smiled and carried the fish to the little Dragon Boat Festival. The little guy was frightened by the jumping fish and did not dare to move forward.
Wow!
At noon, Yang Xiaotao cooked a meal of braised carp at home, made soup with the remaining fish, and even caught the loaches.
After dinner, it was already sunny. Yang Xiaotao and Mr. Yang went to the cemetery to burn paper, then went home and prepared to return to Sijiu City.
No matter what, the research on salt-alkali resistant corn cannot be stopped.
"You should also pay attention to safety in the village, especially if you are heavy..."
Yang Xiaotao hugged the little Dragon Boat Festival and told Ran Qiuye. Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I know it."
"Also, don't be too hasty, just take your time."
She knew about Yang Xiaotao's research on corn, but she couldn't help in this regard.
Speaking of corn, Yang Xiaotao nodded slightly, without much change on his face.
The feeling of being in a mess, of being out of control, is really bad.
Seeing this, Ran Qiuye was still a little concerned, and then walked to Yang Xiaotao and leaned into Yang Xiaotao's arms, "I have never seen you like this in difficult times before."
"I don't know what you are looking for either."
"But I think, if you really can't find it, maybe the thing itself doesn't exist."
"How can you find something you don't have? Since you can't find it, then stop looking and just make one yourself."
Ran Qiuye's voice was soft and she said all the comforting words she could think of.
After saying the last sentence, Yang Xiaotao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and an expression appeared on his face.
"Make one? Make one!"
The voice is a bit hoarse and it is difficult to move the lips, but the voice is very loud in my heart.
"Perhaps, this is a road."
Ran Qiuye didn't notice anything unusual about Yang Xiaotao and was still being held.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was holding his wife and children, but thinking about...
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to Sijiucheng. When he got off the car, Yang Xiaotao went straight back home, put down his things, ran to the study, took out a pen and paper and started recording the inspiration that came to him.
There were several ideas along the way.
The tip of the pen quickly recorded on the paper, and Xiaowei was flying in the yard. After being moistened by the rain last night, the yard was full of life.
Gu Gu
When there was a sound in his stomach indicating that he needed to eat, Yang Xiaotao touched it and then looked at the time. It was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Looking at the several pieces of paper on the table, I sorted through my mind again, thinking about the possibility.
Ran Qiuye's words reminded him that since he can't find a suitable goal, he should make one.
Moreover, when I lived in my previous life, I often heard about "genetically modified" and "genetic engineering". Even on the screen, the Jurassic Period was released, so what else can't be done?
Therefore, it may be a way to make corn that can withstand salt and alkali and still grow normally.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao did not have the equipment and instruments of later generations at hand, and the experimental conditions were very crude, but he could not stand that Yang Xiaotao had a system and Xiaowei.
Gene is just a name given by scientists to genetic material. In Xiaowei's case, being called energy is just another name.
In essence, they are all the same.
"With Xiaowei here, you can try all these plans."
Looking at the several plans on the note, Yang Xiaotao felt eager to give it a try.
