Scholars in the courtyard

If we follow the previous historical trajectory, after the other party discovered the hybrid vigor of rice, they began to conduct research on hybrid rice!

But because of Yang Xiaotao's arrival, the emergence of hybrid corn not only confirmed the research direction of hybrid rice, but also received financial and technical support.

So what is the current situation?

Yang Xiaotao is full of expectations.

After pondering for a while, thinking about possible problems the other party might have, Yang Xiaotao recalled the hybrid rice in his memory, and then wrote it down on paper.

In fact, the simplest problem is to find the male sterile strain.

This was easy for Yang Xiaotao.

With Xiaowei here, you can get it with a little modification.

As for other questions, Yang Xiaotao thought about everything he could think of.

After more than half an hour, I looked at the time and saw that the factory was already busy.

Then he dialed the phone number.

Dudu

There were two rings, and then a female voice came.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Yang Xiaotao heard the sound and immediately thought of a name.

"Hello! You are An Ran."

"Well, which one are you?"

"I am Yang Xiaotao."

The voice on the other side paused for a moment, and then came a surprised voice, "Are you Teacher Yang? You are back from a business trip. Our teacher has called several times and has been unable to contact you. It's great that you are back this time. Already…”

An Ran's voice didn't stop from the beginning, and Yang Xiaotao couldn't even interrupt.

"Well, Comrade An Ran, the phone bill is quite expensive. Can you find your teacher?"

"Ah, yes, yes, I'll go find the teacher. Please call back in five minutes, no, ten minutes."

After saying that, the phone hung up.

Yang Xiaotao put down the phone, and Lou Xiao'e on the side came over to ask what was going on.

"Nothing to do, other work, by the way, please take time to help me tell Qiuye that I have guests tonight."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and went out.

Ten minutes later, Yang Xiaotao dialed the phone again. It rang once and was picked up by the other party.

"Teacher Yang Xiaotao? Hello!"

"Hello, I'm Yang Xiaotao, but don't call me Teacher Yang, just call me Yang Xiaotao!"

The two confirmed their identities on the phone, but the person on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Okay, I'll call you Team Leader Yang."

"good!"

"Team Leader Yang. Now I have a very difficult question that I need to consult with you."

Then the other person mentioned the difficulty. Yang Xiaotao listened and memorized it, and then thought quickly.

"You said that the male sterile strain has been found?"

“Yes, since launching the project, our work has received support from comrades.

Just two months ago, we discovered a special strain of rice in the Dongting early indica rice field. "

"This rice flower has bloomed, but the anthers are very thin and there is no pollen inside. I think it must have degenerated, but its pistils are normal. Finally, after experimental inspection, it was determined that it was a pollen-aborted male plant. Sterile strain!”

The other person spoke with surprise. Taking this crucial step is equivalent to breaking the shackles of zero. With one, there are two, there are three, and there are all things...

Yang Xiaotao was also surprised. This was more than half a year earlier than the previous time and space.

But it's not surprising to think that among them is a man who flaps his wings.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao also has an inexplicable pride.

"congratulations!"

"Thank you! My problem now is that I can't make up my mind about the research direction. My comrades all want to see the results as soon as possible, so..."

After Yang Xiaotao listened, he drew a picture on the paper.

According to my own experience and past lives, after the other party found the male sterile strain, they should conduct experiments according to the three-line method.

It's just that I haven't made up my mind yet.

"I understand what you mean."

Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke.

"As for the research direction, you should be talking about three-line hybridization!"

"Yes, that's what it means!"

The person opposite said happily. This explanation was very straightforward, and you could understand what was going on as soon as you heard it.

Is a connoisseur.

On the table covered with books, the short man placed the microphone flat. He and the two students lay on each side, their ears almost on the table, holding a pen in their hand, listening carefully.

"I think that among the three lines, we need to find male sterile lines, male sterile maintenance lines and male sterility restorer lines..."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you take the first step well, the rest will be much easier."

Half an hour later, Yang Xiaotao ended the conversation, "This is my phone number. We will communicate more in the future."

"Let's make contributions to the people together."

"Okay, thank you, Team Leader Yang."

After hanging up the phone, the man said with excitement on his face, "Yes, the direction is right. Team Leader Yang is just as I thought. Let's do it."

"Teacher, Teacher Yang said so, we can start field work next year!"

An Ran said on the side, and finally pushed Yu Hua who was recording, "Junior, are you right?"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"Okay, don't bully Yu Hua. Next, we need to get more sterile strains. Next year will be a critical year!"

After hearing this, both of them nodded.

Yang Xiaotao hung up the phone and rubbed his ears. After talking for almost half an hour, his ears felt wet.

Looking at the records on the table, Yang Xiaotao folded them and placed them in the space.

The world, if things go well, has already begun to change.

Then he got up and headed to the workshop.

In the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e rode Yang Xiaotao's car to the door, and saw Qin Jingru with several pregnant women, her hands protecting her belly, and her face filled with a happy smile.

Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath, walked past everyone, and headed to the middle courtyard.

Qin Jingru looked at Lou Xiao'e, sneered, and then asked the pregnant woman next to her, "His aunt, I have been very nonchalant in the past few days. Is it because of pregnancy?"

While talking, he stretched his head towards Lou Xiao’e.

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e paused, looked back at the proud Qin Jingru, gritted her teeth, and came to the hanging flower gate.

Qin Jingru looked at the hanging flower door and sighed, "I deserve it if I can't give birth."

Thinking of this, she put her hand on her belly again. She saw that all the pregnant women in the hospital were like this, so naturally she wanted to imitate them.

The pregnant women on the side didn't bother to talk to Qin Jingru when they saw her like this. They were going to the middle courtyard to sit with Teacher Ran, not wanting to talk to this guy who was trying to squeeze into a small group of pregnant women.

"How was your last physical examination? When will you have it?"

The pregnant woman on one side was talking and walking, and the one on the other side replied, "It's good. I'll go in a few days."

"Wait to ask Teacher Ran, let's go together, it just so happens that we can keep company."

"good."

Qin Jingru stood there, feeling aggrieved as she watched several people play without her.

"Huh, why are you so proud? Who can't have a child?"

As he spoke, his palms had nowhere to put them.

Is she mentally clear about this?

But she could still hear what the pregnant woman said, "I still need to do a check-up."

In the middle courtyard, Lou Xiao'e's eyes turned red when she saw Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye also knew Lou Xiao'e's mood and could only comfort her.

After a while, several pregnant women came over, and Lou Xiaoe quickly wiped away her tears and regained her composure.

"Qiuye, Yang Xiaotao said that someone is coming to visit tonight and asked you to prepare."

"Xiao'e, please stay and help us together. I can't do this alone."

Ran Qiuye wanted to leave Lou Xiao'e behind for some relief, but if that didn't work, he brought out what Yang Xiaotao said last night to comfort Lou Xiao'e.

"No, it's almost the end of the month, and I have to be busy with all kinds of things. I'll come back in two days."

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye could only nod. Before leaving, he comforted her, telling her not to get into trouble and just live a good life by herself.

Lou Xiao'e nodded and immediately left the courtyard by bicycle.

When Lou Xiao'e came back, Yang Xiaotao finished handling the matters at hand and told Yang Youning to go back in advance to prepare meals.

When Yang Xiaotao rode back to the courtyard, Ran Qiuye also bought a lot of things and was preparing them in the kitchen.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."

"Where's the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"sleeping."

Ran Qiuye replied, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "By the way, when Xiao'e came today, I saw that she was not in good spirits."

"It's definitely not good. Doesn't it mean that Qin Jingru can't give birth to the child Xu Damao has in her arms?"

"If you spread the word, others can say whatever they think."

Ran Qiuye frowned, "These two people are not destined to be together, so what else can we do? It's not just one person's business to have a child, so why should we blame Xiao'e."

"If you think so, others may not think so."

Ran Qiuye was silent.

In fact, the best way is to let Lou Xiaoe find someone to get married and then have children.

This is better than saying it a thousand times.

However, he glanced at Yang Xiaotao.

This is impossible.

"Who's coming tonight?"

Ran Qiuye changed the topic, Yang Xiaotao took the kitchen knife, put the food on the table, and got ready to start.

"Dean Deng and Director Gao from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Come to deliver some things and have a meal by the way."

"I'll make you something to eat later. It will probably be quite late tonight."

"Yeah. You drink less."

"good."

When night fell, a jeep was parked outside the alley.

The people at the gate saw it and guessed that they must be here to see Yang Xiaotao.

Even Yan Fugui nodded. Nine out of ten leaders who came to this courtyard were like this.

Sure enough, it was Dean Deng and Director Gao who were walking in front, followed by the driver, carrying a bag on their backs.

The three of them passed the front yard, came to the middle yard, and walked towards Yang Xiaotao's house under the attention of everyone.

"Xiao Yang?"

Standing outside the yard, Gao Yufeng shouted, looking at Wangcai in front of him and consciously stopped.

"Dean Deng, Lao Gao, hurry up, please come inside."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly came out, and behind him Ran Qiuye came out holding the Dragon Boat Festival to greet him together.

"Sorry, sorry."

Dean Deng said, handed the gift to Yang Xiaotao, and then reached out to hug the Dragon Boat Festival.

The little guy was no longer afraid of being born, and he was carried into the house, still smiling.

After the three of them entered the house, they introduced each other.

After chatting for a while, Yang Xiaotao went to work on the meal. Ran Qiuye was preparing to pour water, but Gao Yufeng stopped him and told him to do it himself.

In the end, the driver was pouring water while Dean Deng was walking around the room.

Especially in the study room where I spend the most time.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao brought the cooked food to the table, while Ran Qiuye carried Dragon Boat Festival to Wang Dashan's house next door.

"Dean Deng, you are welcome to come. I am so prosperous."

Yang Xiaotao toasted with a wine glass, but Dean Deng picked up the wine glass and said, "We took the liberty."

The three of them drank and then ate.

"Did you call today?"

After eating and drinking for a while, Dean Deng asked.

Yang Xiaotao put down his chopsticks and said, "After more than half an hour of fighting, the situation has been basically explained."

Then Yang Xiaotao told what happened. Dean Deng and Gao Yufeng looked at each other, and the latter quickly asked, "How long do you think they can succeed?"

Yang Xiaotao already had the answer to this.

"In the southern climate, rice can be harvested twice a year. As long as the method is in the right direction, I estimate that we can breed it in the first half of the year and the results will be known in the second half of the year."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's affirmative answer, Dean Deng laughed and held the wine glass, "Come, let's drink to the comrades in the south."

"Dry!"

"By the way, Dean, I don't know the situation in the south, but there are some things that we still need to take precautions against. This corn incident reminded me that there are too many uncertainties around us, so we still need to strengthen protection."

Yang Xiaotao put down his glass. Historically, the work of rice hybrid breeding has been full of ups and downs, caused by natural disasters, man-made disasters, and even some special factors.

What Yang Xiaotao can do is to protect in advance. Maybe some things are unavoidable, but at least he must leave the seeds of continuation so that no bad changes will occur because of his arrival.

"Don't worry, the hybrid experiment plan has been approved by the superiors."

"Now, many leaders have tasted the benefits. Thanks to your judgment last time, our comrades have earned a lot of good things."

"Although the agreement cannot be fully fulfilled, we are all waiting."

Gao Yufeng nodded after hearing this, picked up the wine bottle and filled it for the two of them.

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotao also laughed and said, "When the time comes, we won't be sending beggars away with just such a thing."

Hahaha

Laughter gradually broke out in the room, as if waiting for a good show.
