Scholars in the courtyard

Xiaopingcun Research Institute, Base Conference Room.

It is said to be a conference room, but it is actually a room where everyone usually rests.

There were farm tools placed around him. Because there were so many people coming, Hao Pingchuan could only stand at the door.

Even those sitting around the table, not everyone has a stool.

Someone was sitting on a low stool with his chest exposed, making him look a little shorter.

However, everyone was in high spirits, especially when they saw Yang Xiaotao talking to Teacher Yuan.

Some people who know the inside story say that the establishment of the institute is inseparable from Yang Xiaotao. They even say that without Yang Xiaotao's efforts to promote the support plan of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, they would not be where they are today.

What's more, Yang Xiaotao is unique in hybrid technology.

That's a capable person who made hybrid corn on his own.

Over the years, they have followed Teacher Yuan, but they know how difficult this breeding process is.

Not only must we be careful when breeding, we must not make mistakes.

You also need to have the courage to try again in the face of failure.

And to get to this point, they know how much their entire team has sacrificed.

In comparison, everyone even gave Yang Xiaotao a thumbs up in private.

"Comrades."

Amid the noisy discussion, Teacher Yuan stood up with a smile on his face.

"We all first welcome the arrival of Team Leader Yang from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!"

"Let Team Leader Yang say a few words!"

bang bang bang

Applause broke out and everyone was eager.

Yang Xiaotao stood up amidst the applause, and then pressed his palms.

Looking at the people on the left and right, he smiled and said, "Originally, I should have come earlier!"

"But these things on the left and on the right make me so anxious..."

"It's finally here. I would like to thank you all first. Thank you for not letting me go all the way in vain. You have been waiting for me to have this great historical moment!"

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao cupped his hands seriously, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

After the laughter subsided, Yang Xiaotao said again, "In addition to the people coming this time, I also brought deep concern from the leaders of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

"When the old dean came, he told me personally that he was expecting good news from me."

"There is also the concern of superior leaders, especially Chief Tao, who told me that your hard work and efforts will not be in vain, and your achievements will surely become a glorious chapter on the road to revolution."

Everyone's hearts became hot after hearing this.

What they fear most is not paying attention and putting their hard work aside.

But now, Yang Xiaotao came and brought greetings from his superiors, which gave them some comfort.

bang bang bang bang

Applause rang out again, Teacher Yuan's eyes turned red and he looked excited.

When he was determined to make the best hybrid rice, no one around him believed it.

At that time, he was busy alone, working in the brigade and busy with his own research.

At that time, no one understood him, not even his wife and children at home. They didn't understand what he was doing with the rice. He might as well eat it.

At that time, only he could hear his ambitions, ambitions and dreams, and there were more tears in his heart than sweat.

But only three years have passed, and earth-shaking changes have taken place.

First, someone from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Forty-Nine City found him and listed his research project as a support target. Only then did he realize that what he was doing was not done alone.

He knows that there are many comrades like him who are working hard together.

There is another person who has achieved success before him and becomes their goal.

Subsequently, there was full support from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and local governments.

Personnel, materials, theoretical guidance, and comprehensive safety protection allow him to devote himself wholeheartedly to the career he loves.

Then, his life began to change quietly, and he only needed to study with peace of mind.

His family also knew the significance of what he did to the country, and they became understanding and supportive.

Finally, after so many days and nights of research and so many failures, they finally succeeded.

And now there are so many people who care about them and pay attention to their work.

This pride, pride, intertwined with the sadness in my heart, turned into drops of tears, slowly flowing out.

The applause around them continued.

This sound sounded like applause for their own persistence.

"Brother Yuan."

Yang Xiaotao spoke softly on the side and looked over. Teacher Yuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Brother Yang, I made you laugh."

"I'm so excited."

"No, there's nothing funny about this. I've also suffered from you."

Yang Xiaotao said empathetically, "When we were studying Yangcun No. 1, we faced difficulties that you can't imagine."

"Three years, three whole years."

"That's how it feels when it's done."

When mentioning the past, Yang Xiaotao looked equally sad and kept shaking his head.

Teacher Yuan and others naturally knew about Yang Xiaotao, and were also familiar with the situation in Yangcun No. 1.

Hearing this, everyone felt more empathy, and everyone was one of their own.

"At that time, I told the leaders of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences that what happened to me must never happen to others. Never!"

"So, this time, I'm here."

Yang Xiaotao's eyes swept across everyone's faces, "I'm here to witness all this."

"Witness this historic moment, then."

"I want to let all the people know what they see and make them happy about it."

"In the future, they will have better rice seeds and grow more food."

bang bang bang bang

Applause rang out again, and the whole room thundered.

This time, not only the researchers present, but also the guards standing guard at the door and people in the distance couldn't help but applaud.

Some people clapped and laughed and shed tears.

"Teacher Yang, I can't wait too. Let's go to the experimental field."

"Yes, Teacher Yang, we are not tired, we can't wait any longer."

Suddenly, everyone below stood up together. Even though it was almost noon, they still couldn't stop their excitement and eagerness.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and looked at Teacher Yuan.

Seeing how excited everyone was, Teacher Yuan did not pour cold water on them. He stood up from the side and nodded and said, "Brother Yang, since the enthusiasm of our comrades is high, let's go together."

"Okay, then let's go together."

Yang Xiaotao did not refuse. He also wanted to see what this first generation hybrid rice looked like.

Soon, a group of people left the base happily. The big guys were holding sickles from the yard, and some were carrying ropes.

Rushing towards the experimental field in a mighty manner.

No need for morale boosting or help from others.

Because they themselves are the best farmers.

Yang Xiaotao and Teacher Yuan were walking in the middle of the team. Xiaobo and others were on guard around them, but they also had farm tools in their hands, and they were obviously going to die.

"This is a breeding field!"

As Teacher Yuan spoke, he pointed to a rice field not far away.

"The first-generation hybrids we are using now were grown here."

"Here, there are male sterile plants."

"The hybridized rice has not only fuller grains, but also larger ears than before. Except that it cannot be used as a seed crop, its other characteristics are better than ordinary ones."

Teacher Yuan was explaining as he spoke. Others may not understand what he said, but Yang Xiaotao understood.

The two of them exchanged breeding experiences while walking.

Soon, we came to a field behind a small slope.

“This is where hybrid rice is grown!”

Teacher Yuan pointed to the place in front and said.

Yang Xiaotao looked.

I found that the rice here was on average about ten centimeters taller than the rice seen on the road, and the rice stalks seemed to be thicker and the ears were larger than what I saw.

"This looks better than the ordinary one. By the way, I heard you call him Chaoyang No. 1?"

Teacher Yuan smiled and nodded, "Yes! It's called Chaoyang No. 1, which is exactly the same as your Yangcun No. 1."

But Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Okay, this is a good name. Remember the original intention."

"Yes, remember our original intention."

After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled, then each picked up the sickle, entered the rice field, and began to harvest.

There is strength in numbers!

More than a dozen people lined up in a row, each holding a sickle, guarding the four rows of rice.

With one stroke of the sickle, about ten centimeters of rice was cut down, and then he put it behind him and continued to move forward.

Everyone is basically moving forward together, but of course some people are left behind.

Take for example a certain Comrade Hao.

By mid-afternoon, the entire rice field had been knocked down!

The rice that originally reached the thighs was spread on the ground, revealing the original color of the land.

Everyone then sat on the ground to rest for a while.

Yang Xiaotao was now more certain that this hybrid rice experiment was successful.

This is not only a conclusion drawn from personal practice, but also Xiaowei's secret information. The energy contained in these rice is three to five times that of ordinary rice.

Not only that, everyone who came to the Harvest Research Institute also saw the quality of the rice.

They looked at it from a distance and thought it must be a good harvest.

But this time I harvested rice with my own hands, my judgment became more and more certain.

Everyone is sure that this time it will be successful.

After a short rest, everyone quickly bundled the harvested rice. Then someone drove a tractor. Everyone turned into hard-working bees again, put the bundled rice on the truck, and transported it to the base.

Yang Xiaotao and Teacher Yuan were walking slowly on the ground, their hands behind their backs, and they were still holding the rice they had picked up, which they had dropped earlier.

In line with the principle of not wasting every particle, it is natural to pick it up carefully.

"In those years, I saw too many things. Everyone worked hungry and only had so little food at home."

Perhaps it was the joy of the harvest or the imminent success, but Teacher Yuan obviously talked more, as if he was looking for someone to talk to.

And Yang Xiaotao is the most suitable audience.

"At that time, I was thinking, I have to do one thing to put enough food on everyone's table."

Speaking of this, Teacher Yuan seemed to remember something and felt a little ashamed, because the person next to him had done it earlier than him, and he also did it.

However, he quickly adjusted. If the other party succeeded, he would also succeed.

And he will do even better in the future.

Because he is more pure than the other party and can devote all his efforts 100%.

And all his life, he was willing to be a farmer.

Thinking of this, Teacher Yuan straightened up, looked at the sun that was about to set in the distance, quietly came to Yang Xiaotao, and whispered, "That day, I had a dream."

Yang Xiaotao also stood up, holding a handful of rice ears in his hand, just like holding a golden mace, shaking it in the air.

Seeing Teacher Yuan's expression, he approached and smiled, "It must be a dream."

Teacher Yuan also laughed, "Of course! This dream is spoken out, so it's not taken seriously."

"But now the dream has come true, you are the first to know."

"Then I have to listen carefully."

Yang Xiaotao scratched his ears while saying this.

But Mr. Yuan raised the rice ears in Yang Xiaotao's hand high, and the light of the setting sun shone on them, emitting golden light, as if a golden coat was draped over the two of them.

At this moment, everyone around saw it, and they were full of sacred admiration.

Teacher Yuan looked up at the rice in his hand, and then said softly, "I had a dream that day."

"I dreamed that the rice in the field grew as tall as sorghum, the ears were as long as brooms, and the grains inside were as big as peanuts, and my comrades and I sat under the rice ears to enjoy the cool."

Not far away, Wang Hao put down the camera in his hand, feeling happy.

He knew that this frozen scene would become a permanent memory in people's hearts.
