Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"Hey, Old Yuan isn't in his seventies or eighties. It's not like his hearing would become inconsistent so quickly."

The man kept talking without stopping.

He rolled up his trouser legs and went down to the paddy field toward Yuan Nongping.

"Old Yuan, stop for a moment! Your wife wants you to come home early for dinner. Also, there is a package sent from the town that belongs to you."

After the man approached Yuan Nongping and raised the volume a little, Yuan Nongping finally reacted.

"Old Zhao, what did you just say?"

The guy called Lao Zhao was speechless. It seemed like you didn't hear what I said just now.

"I said your wife just gave birth to a big fat boy for you."

"What? Didn't my wife give birth to a son for me last year?"

"Hey, you're not confused about this. I'm not kidding you. There's your package. I'll go to town and get it for you. It was sent from Forty-Nine City."

When Yuan Nongping heard about the package sent from Sijiu City, he was even more surprised.

He is not from Sijiu City, nor does he know anyone there.

Who sent him what?

"Is it signed?"

"No, it says John Doe."

"Anonymous? Never mind. I'll go back and look at it tonight."

Yuan Nongping's mind is now full of rice.

I don't have the time to think about anything else.

It was almost dark in the evening when Yuan Nongping packed up his tools and went home.

As usual, his wife complained that he went out early and came back late every day and didn't take good care of his body, and she also helped him get a basin of water for washing his feet.

Both of them were engaged in agricultural research, so she could understand why Yuan Nongping worked so hard.

"What's the big deal? I don't know how many people starved to death in those three years. Every time I think of those people who starved to death on the road, I can't sleep at night."

Yuan Nongping sighed, feeling heartbroken when he thought of the three years of famine.

Starving to death is the worst way to die.

The experience of those three years made him more determined to cultivate super hybrid rice.

Even because of the movements in recent years, those troublemakers in Hong Xiaobin often used various reasons to sabotage his research.

But he still didn't give up.

"By the way, take a look at the package that Lao Zhao just sent. I heard it was sent from Sijiu City. Do you know anyone in Sijiu City?"

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about this. I'm also wondering about this. Let me see the package."

Yuan Nongping took the package from his wife and shook it, only to hear a rustling sound coming from inside.

"It seems to be the sound of rice or wheat?"

Yuan Nongping, who has been in contact with crops for many years, immediately recognized the sound inside.

Out of curiosity, Yuan Nongping opened the package directly.

First it was wrapped in several thick sheets of brown paper.

After opening the brown paper, several bottles were revealed, some of which contained seeds that looked like weeds.

“This…what is this?!”

Yuan Nongping instantly thought of a possibility.

He has been looking for wild male sterile rice plants during this period.

The seeds of this thing look similar to weeds.

Could this be what I've been looking for?

Yuan Nongping quickly checked the package and found that in addition to the bottles containing barnyard grass, there were also several bottles containing rice, wheat, and corn seeds.

The seeds look plump.

You can tell it’s a good seed at first glance.

Yuan Nongping is a professional after all, and judging from the morphological characteristics of the seeds, these seeds are of good quality.

It is far superior to the common seeds on the market.

And this should be caused by genetic differences.

In other words, by using these seeds for reproduction and promotion, China's grain production can be increased immediately.

But you still have to try it out first to see the effect.

Yuan Nongping was very excited.

Although he did not grow this seed, he would be happy as long as it could help the country.

It doesn't matter whose contribution it is.

"Old Yuan, there's a letter!"

While Yuan Nongping was staring at the seeds in a trance, Yuan Nongping's wife also discovered the letter hidden in the package.

Yuan Nongping took the letter, opened it and scanned it.

When he saw the contents of the letter, he laughed out loud with excitement.

Even the foot bath basin was overturned.

"Wife! This is it! I guessed it right! This is it! Male sterile rice! I finally found it! And those high-yield seeds can be promoted now!

Genius! What a genius! No, I must find him! "

Seeing Yuan Nongping's incoherent and excited look.

Yuan Nongping's wife couldn't help but persuade him:

"You saw it all. The package was labeled Anonymous. That means the other party doesn't want you to find him. Even if you go to the Sijiu City Post Office, you probably won't be able to find him."

After hearing what his wife said, Yuan Nongping calmed down.

He thought for a moment and then said:

"Anyway, the most important thing now is to plant these seeds and then verify whether these data are accurate. But my intuition tells me that what is written in this letter is true.

I didn’t expect that there are such talents in our country. It’s a pity that this person doesn’t want to reveal his name, otherwise I really want to thank him.”

Yuan Nongping excitedly held the package in his hand. At this moment, what he was holding was not just a few bottles of seeds, but also the rice bowls of more than one billion people in China.

For Chinese people, nothing is more important than having enough food to eat.

Wang Jianjun didn't know that Yuan Nongping, who was far away at the rice research base, was now eager to find him and study rice with him in the field.

He specifically used a fake address to send things so as not to expose himself.

After all, the things he gave had no clear origins.

Moreover, he was just returning Yuan Nongping's research results to him in advance.

The real honor should be given to those who have made silent contributions to the country.

Maybe it’s because I do one good deed a day.

God rewarded Wang Jianjun for doing good deeds.

His daughter-in-law was pregnant.

The pregnant one is Shen Chuxia.

What’s interesting is that Shen Chuxia didn’t show any reaction to her pregnancy.

No back pain, no leg pain, and no nausea.

Eat, drink and sleep as usual every day.

But one time when she was getting dressed, Shen Maiqiu asked, "Sister, have you gained weight?" This made her a little suspicious.

After all, she has been injected with advanced genetic drugs, so now, let alone getting fat, she won’t have any extra fat even if she overeats.

At first, Shen Chuxia didn't think about being pregnant at all.

Because she didn't have any morning sickness at all.

But after hearing this, Wang Jianjun had some guesses, and then he gave Shen Chuxia a body scan.

It turned out that she was pregnant.

This made Wang Jianjun feel a little helpless.

Advanced genetic medicine also has this benefit for women. The two sisters had told him about it before. After the injection of the genetic medicine, they no longer felt pain during those days every month.
