This autumn and winter of this year should be said to be filled with good news one after another.
A ginseng field had a bumper harvest, and its output reached a new high. The effectiveness of fertilizers used in ginseng fields was directly confirmed by the output.
The theory of microbial compound fertilizer and microbial foliar fertilizer proposed by Xu Shiyan.
It received the attention of the Agricultural University and was directly reported to the Agricultural Science and Technology Commission and approved as a provincial key project.
Fortunately, Xu Shiyan acted quickly and negotiated with the Agricultural University in advance to move the project research base to Donggang Town.
Otherwise, I don’t know where it was taken away.
On December 14, the Provincial Science and Technology Commission held a meeting on "Changbai Mountain Red Ginseng Results Appraisal and Standard Appraisal" at the Nanhu Hotel.
Twenty-nine experts in related fields were invited to the meeting. Xu Shiyan, as the main researcher of Changbai Mountain red ginseng and the deputy director of a state-owned ginseng farm, attended the meeting.
Experts participating in the meeting unanimously praised the processing technology of Changbai Mountain red ginseng as being at the internationally advanced level.
As the leader in the development of Changbai Mountain red ginseng, Xu Shiyan has also been recognized and praised by many people.
Changbai Mountain Ginseng Technology Development Board of Directors issued an invitation to Xu Shiyan.
Xu Shiyan was specially appointed as a member of the expert group of the board of directors, and Xu Shiyan was issued an honorary certificate.
On December 27, Xu Shiyan presided over the research and participated in the "ginseng buckling shed technology" and made an appraisal at the Changbai Mountain Ginseng Technology Development Board meeting.
Nine experts including an associate professor of Jilin Agricultural University jointly signed and issued the certificate.
A related paper previously won the first prize at the 85th Annual Meeting of the Ginseng Society. This time, it won the provincial appraisal and was recognized by provincial experts.
In the blink of an eye, 1985 passed and 1986 arrived.
Xu Shiyan, who was originally scheduled to go home for vacation on January 10th, did not take vacation until the end of January because he was involved in a compound fertilizer research project.
The Spring Festival of 1986 was on February 9th. When Xu Shiyan was on vacation, it was only a few days before the New Year.
"Master, why don't you go back to Donggang with me to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Before leaving, Xu Shiyan went to visit Mr. Chu, but found that none of Mr. Chu's family members had returned.
Ordinarily, with so many days left before the Chinese New Year, even if you ask for leave, you should come back to spend time with the elderly.
"You don't have anyone with you, so I'm worried."
Not only are the old man's children and grandchildren not back, but even the family's nanny is not here all the time.
Because it’s the Chinese New Year, even though the nanny is close, she still has to go home and tidy up.
So every day I would come over at noon to cook a meal and clean up the house. At other times, Mr. Chu would heat up the food himself.
"No, I've gotten used to it over the years. Don't you think I have a pretty good body? I can do anything.
What does this mean? When we were fighting back then, the conditions were not the same as they are now. Are they different now?"
Mr. Chu waved his hand, he did not want to trouble Xu Shiyan.
In the past, Xu Shiyan had never stayed in the provincial capital until the end of the New Year, so he didn't know what it was like for Mr. Chu to celebrate the New Year.
He thought that even if the two sons from Chu's hometown were far apart, they would still be able to take time off and come back to spend time with the old man during the Chinese New Year.
Now I know that they will never come back.
"No, this matter cannot be left to you.
Master, pack your things and leave. I will take you home to celebrate the New Year.
Just in time, let you take a look at the little cubs in our family, they are all very fun.
I can guarantee that Master will fall in love with them as soon as he sees them."
How could Xu Shiyan let Mr. Chu celebrate the New Year at home alone? Without saying anything, he went to help Mr. Chu pack his clothes.
After packing his things, Xu Shiyan found another piece of paper.
It was written on it that the owner was going back to the country for the New Year, please call if you have anything, and he also left his home phone number.
This is for those who come to Chu's hometown to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, so as to save them from being anxious when they can't find Mr. Chu.
"Shi Yan, please stop working so hard. I'm just fine living by myself."
When Mr. Chu saw Xu Shiyan working so hard back and forth, he felt very sorry.
Although he and Xu Shiyan have the status of master and apprentice, it is not easy to go to Xu's house to celebrate the New Year.
"Master, nothing you say will work today. Even if I hold you, I still have to take you away.
I didn't know how you celebrated the Spring Festival every year. When I called you to say New Year greetings, you didn't even mention it.
How did I know that you were spending the New Year alone at home?
That’s not okay, really, it’s fine if I don’t know. Now that I know, I will definitely take you home to celebrate the New Year.”
Xu Shiyan didn't care about that. He found some glue, pasted the paper directly on the door, and told the neighbors.
Then he asked Mr. Chu to get dressed neatly and go out to find a footman.
Just carrying the luggage and supporting Mr. Chu, we took the car and went straight to the train station.
When he arrived at the train station, he directly found the person Chi Hao asked him to find last time and bought two sleeper tickets.
The people at the train station knew Xu Shiyan. As soon as they heard that the ticket was bought for Mr. Chu, they immediately arranged a soft sleeper.
Then he called the other side of Hunjiang River and told them that they must reserve two soft sleeper tickets no matter what.
At Mr. Chu's age, he must feel comfortable when he goes out, and he must not be aggrieved at all.
Anyway, Xu Shiyan is rich and doesn't care about a soft sleeper or a hard sleeper.
In this way, Xu Shiyan accompanied Mr. Chu on the bus, all the way from the provincial capital to Hunjiang River, and then took the bus from Hunjiang River back to Songjiang River.
"Brother-in-law, this way." As soon as they left the station, they saw Li Zongliang and Li Chengrong rushing up to them with smiles on their faces.
"Secretary Lin arranged a car for us to pick you up and Mr. Chu."
Xu Shiyanti went to work and called, hoping that Lin Qiyue would arrange a pick-up from the station.
In fact, Xu Shiyan's current level can be equipped with a car.
But he spends most of his time studying in the provincial capital, so he doesn't feel it's necessary. He usually rides a motorcycle to work.
If Mr. Chu hadn't come with him, Xu Shiyan would have been able to go back in a donkey cart.
Li Zongliang and Li Chengrong came forward, took the luggage, and then helped Mr. Chu get into the car.
Li Zongliang drove, and Xu Shiyan and Li Chengrong accompanied Mr. Chu from behind.
Fortunately, there were sleepers all the way, and soft sleepers were much better than hard sleepers, so Mr. Chu was not too affected.
In addition, his physical condition is indeed good, so his mental state is not bad.
It only took about twenty minutes to get from the train station to Donggang. Li Zongliang parked his car directly outside the gate of Xu Chenghou's house.
Xu Chenghou's house originally had five rooms facing north and south. Later, five wing rooms were added north and south at the head of the west house.
As a result, the door was moved south, to the head of the south side of the wing.
After entering the gate, turn around the side room and go north to find the main room.
Xu Chenghou also followed Xu Shiyan's instructions and sealed the plastic shed.
Even though the plastic shed is not very thick, it blocks the wind and keeps you warm. When the sun shines during the day, the shed is very warm.
"Father, Mom, Shiyan has brought Mr. Chu here."
Su Anying must have been guarding the plastic shed early. When she saw Xu Shiyan and others coming in, she hurriedly greeted him, then hurried out and stepped forward to support Mr. Chu.
"I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. As soon as I received the call, the children at home were very anxious and were all waiting for you."
"Hello, Grandpa Chu."
Before Su Anying finished speaking, Xu Haiyuan and his younger brothers and sisters shouted in unison from behind.
