Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1863 Race against time
"Dean, what's the situation over there? What did Director Gao say?"

At the gate of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yang Xiaotao drove to pick up the old dean. The two of them didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and just got in the car and left!

"I don't know. Xiao Gao fell silent after he finished the call."

"However, the local weather department said that the air flow will be unstable for some time to come and the hail will continue!"

The old dean said with some concern, "Why is it hailstorming out of nowhere? How could it happen..."

Yang Xiaotao's face turned heavy after hearing this, and Lou Xiao'e in the back row also lowered her head.

The herbs grown in the northwest are not simple. The oral liquids produced in pharmaceutical factories all use herbs from there.

If something goes wrong there, it will not only affect the pharmaceutical factory, but also a national issue!
“Does it happen in normal years?”

Yang Xiaotao suspected that there was something wrong with the hail, so he started to ask.

There's no way I can do this. I've read too many conspiracy theories in my previous life.

The Northwest is vast and sparsely populated. If people knew about this, it is not impossible that they would specifically target us for things like artificial rainfall.

The old dean said without assurance, "The meteorological department said that it has occurred several times before, but mostly in June, and not on a large scale, but only sporadically."

"I didn't expect this year to be so unlucky. We caught up with it, and it's so big!"

Speaking of this, the old dean felt very depressed.

I originally thought that once the Northwest was established, there would be a smooth transition and everything would go smoothly. By then, I would be able to smoothly transfer power and step down from my position.

But I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

If something goes wrong and affects national affairs, he will not feel comfortable even if he retires.

"What the hell is going on here?"

The usually mature and steady old dean couldn't help but swear, which made Lou Xiao'e in the back seat feel that the situation was even more serious.

“Is it too late to plant in greenhouses now?”

The old dean realized that he had lost his composure, but he quickly adjusted himself and asked Yang Xiaotao.

It has already happened, now we can only look forward!
The only thing that can be done is remedial measures.

"I don't know, I should be in time!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, it was not that the temperature was not high enough, but that the weather was too hot.

"Fortunately, the soil is still the same soil, so it should be easier to plant!"

Then I added in my mind, 'Fortunately, there is Xiao Wei.'

The old dean nodded, then sat in the passenger seat and closed his eyes to rest.

When the convoy arrived at Yangjiazhuang, Yang Xiaotao saw Yang Dazhuang and others welcoming him at the village entrance.

After getting off the car, Yang Xiaotao explained the situation and they walked towards the greenhouse area.

The old dean behind him called out to the people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to get out of the car quickly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dazhuang immediately asked people to prepare farm tools, and at the same time asked Yang Shitou to ring the big bell at the entrance of the village to call all the villagers to gather.

When he arrived at the greenhouse area and looked at the greenhouse in front of him, Yang Xiaotao immediately felt heartbroken.

Previously, in order to protect against wind and rain, the greenhouse films had been put away. Now that we have to start work ahead of schedule, we have to find them from the warehouse and reinstall them.

In addition, although the villagers took care of the greenhouses during the slack season, there has been abundant rain recently and a lot of weeds have grown in the greenhouses, which need to be removed as soon as possible.

In addition, the composition of the soil needs to be retested, and if soil erosion occurs, it needs to be reconfigured.

There is also temperature control. If the temperature is low, you can light a stove to raise the temperature, but if it is too high, you can't install an air conditioner!
There are so many things to do that Yang Xiaotao is having a headache and doesn't know where to start.

Soon, the villagers heard the noise and rushed over here. After hearing about it, Grandpa Yang, the old principal and others also ran over to inquire about the situation.

Yang Xiaotao did not hide anything and told everyone about the hailstorm in the northwest.

They immediately understood the seriousness of the matter and without even bothering to exchange pleasantries, they immediately led their men into action.

At the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the old dean stood in front of the crowd and assigned tasks.

Although many people followed Gao Yufeng to the northwest, some of the remaining people had worked there last year. Under their leadership, they were able to keep the business going.

When Yang Xiaotao came over, the old dean had already arranged the tasks. When he saw Yang Xiaotao coming forward, he said, "Xiaotao, say a few words to everyone."

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences recruited a lot of new people this summer, but everyone knew Yang Xiaotao.

There is nothing else to say. There is a picture of Yang Xiaotao on the most eye-catching propaganda column of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

And it clearly states Yang Xiaotao's contribution to agriculture.

No. 1 Yangcun.

Gene hybridization theory.

Gene mutation theory.

And so on, making every student who enters the Academy of Agricultural Sciences admire him.

Some people even regard Yang Xiaotao as their idol and a goal to pursue.

Of course, the only regret is that Yang Xiaotao is not a lecturer at their Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but a worker.

But people who know Yang Xiaotao know better that his achievements in the machinery factory are more significant than those in agriculture.

"Comrades!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the dozens of pairs of eyes below, some of whom even had baby fat on their faces and had serious expressions.

"Do you know what we are going to do?"

"Do you know how heavy the responsibility is on our shoulders?"

“Do you know how important what we are doing now is to the country?”

Everyone looked heavy-hearted. Whether they knew or not, everyone remained silent.

Yang Xiaotao raised his voice and said, "The only thing I can tell you here is that the country needs you."

"Tell me, can you complete the task?"

"can!"

"Yes~~~"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Then prove it to me, prove it to everyone."

"Prove that everyone in our Academy of Agricultural Sciences is not a coward!"

The children were stimulated by Yang Xiaotao's words. They clenched their fists and looked excited.

The country needs you.

Just a few words, my heart surges.

Not far away, Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye stood together.

After receiving the news, Ran Qiuye immediately rode over on his bike and asked Lou Xiaoe about the situation.

At this moment, hearing the shouts of the crowd, both of them took a deep breath.

The country needs you.

Perhaps if this happened to them, they would also do the same, without hesitation. "Each of you go into the greenhouse according to your group."

"Do what you are supposed to do, follow instructions and obey orders."

“If you don’t understand something, ask. We only have one chance. If you don’t understand something, you must figure it out before you do anything.”

Yang Xiaotao gave instructions on the side, and soon each group began to act.

Soon Yang Dazhuang led the villagers to help, and in order to hurry up and plant the seeds, farm work in the village was put aside.

Soon, people’s shouts could be heard from the greenhouses, waving hoes and shovels, and watering the land with the Han River.

"Xiao Tao, these are seeds."

The old dean asked someone to bring two large bags over, his face still full of worry.

"This seed has no breeding, is that okay?"

"Don't plant it when the time comes, or it won't grow."

This is not only a concern of the old director, but also of the elderly in the village.

Planting seeds and planting seedlings are two completely different concepts.

Especially now that we have entered the dog days of summer, the weather is hot, the temperature is high and there is little water.

It is not easy for seeds to germinate.

Yang Xiaotao naturally knew the situation. If he wasn't careful, his efforts would be in vain and the consequences would be even more serious.

But now there is no other way except relying on Xiaowei's ability.

"Now we can only try our best to save the situation."

"Grandpa, have someone store water in the river. Make sure there is enough water."

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao said this, the old dean had no choice.

Actually, it's a bit late now.

"Then do it this way. If everything goes well, we can harvest a crop before winter."

After Yang Xiaotao gave the instructions, the old dean knew that this arrangement was the best way at the moment, so he said something and took people to help.

Yang Xiaotao came to Ran Qiuye. Seeing this, Lou Xiaoe winked at Ran Qiuye and ran aside.

The two stood together. Yang Xiaotao wanted to take Ran Qiuye's hand, but was avoided. "So many people are watching."

Ran Qiuye glanced at Yang Xiaotao. He no longer had the authority he had just now when speaking. He was just the same as he was at home.

"did you miss me?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled softly and Ran Qiuye nodded gently.

She knew that if she said she didn't want to, this guy might do something shameful.

"I went to their home last night and saw that they were all doing well during the Dragon Boat Festival. I even had a drink with my dad."

Yang Xiaotao briefly talked about what happened last night. Ran Qiuye nodded, knowing that this was to make her feel at ease, and then he also talked about Miaomiao's situation.

The time they spend together seems to be mostly occupied by their children.

But when talking, hearing the other person's voice and seeing the other person right in front of you makes you feel more at ease than saying "I love you" a thousand times.

"I may have to stay in the village during this time."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the heated scene and knew that the situation here was more urgent.

Ran Qiuye nodded, "It's okay, I'll go back and lie down tomorrow and bring the children back."

"We'll live here from now on."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I'm going to get busy."

"Ok!"

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao walked towards the construction site. Planting seeds is no small matter.

"Xiaowei!"

"Owner!"

Xiao Wei's voice came from his mind. Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and said, "This time, it depends on you."

"咻咻~"

A cheerful voice sounded in my mind, "Master, don't worry, Xiaowei is very powerful!"

Yang Xiaotao hummed.

On the other side, when Ran Qiuye saw Yang Xiaotao leaving, he waved to Lou Xiaoe, and the two walked towards the village together.

The men are strong and do the work, so they naturally have to take on the task of cooking.

Lunch was brought by the women in the village. Everyone took turns eating. After eating, they did not even take a rest and continued to loosen the soil and plant.

Yang Xiaotao sat on a stone, holding an enamel pot in his hand, and scooped a handful of multi-grain noodles from the wooden barrel. Ran Qiuye handed him a peeled egg.

While drinking the soup, Yang Xiaotao said to Ran Qiuye, "I'll send a car to take you back later."

"There should be some meat and eggs at home. Go with Lou Xiao'e and bring them back."

Ran Qiuye nodded.

They often do this kind of subsidizing work in the village.

Ran Qiuye didn't take it to heart.

"it is good!"

Beibei~
Just as the two were talking, two cars drove up on the road outside.

As soon as Yang Xiaotao saw the license plate, he knew that Mr. Tao had arrived. He quickly put down his rice bowl and called out to the old dean in the distance to come forward to greet him.

But the one leading the way is Mr. Tao, and the one behind him
Yang Xiaotao didn't have time to think about it and quickly led his people to the roadside.

The car stopped and Mr. Tao was the first to get out.

Yang Xiaotao walked forward, and then saw a person getting out from the driver's seat of the car behind him. It was none other than Tong Xiaolong.

Yang Xiaotao immediately understood who was in the car.

Then I saw an old woman coming down.

"Miss!"

Yang Xiaotao exclaimed, and then saw a familiar figure walking down from the other side.

"Chief!"

Everyone around, including Mr. Yang, had seen the old man, especially when Fatty Ding happened last time. The old man came forward to make the decision for everyone, which left a deep impression on everyone.

At this moment, the old man walked to the front of the crowd and stood together with Mr. Tao. After everyone saw it, the story spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and more and more people gathered around.

Yang Dazhuang even ordered the militia to be on guard around the area, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
