In 2023, swimmer Jiang Jiaojiao died saving a drowning child during a seaside team-building activity.
In 1964, Lin Baoni saved a drowning soldier but died from exhaustion in the sea.
Ji...
"It's done! Our spores are all formed, and the kelp seedlings have sprouted!"
Professor Gao was very excited. He had finally succeeded and lived up to the trust placed in him after so long of research.
Bonnie was also excited when she heard this. What perfect timing! After they finished harvesting this batch, they could plant the next one, and harvest it in May or June next year. That would be the perfect time to dry the seaweed.
"Teacher Gao, let's go take a look."
Professor Gao led the way, and we went together to their place where they specialize in studying kelp seedlings.
In the courtyard, under the erected shed, boxes of lush green seaweed seedlings were a delightful sight.
"Professor Gao, in a few days, they'll be big enough to be grafted. How many seedlings do we have this time? How many grafts can we use? What's the planting area?" Bonnie felt like she was about to own a huge seaweed farm, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"We should be able to plant quite a lot, but I don't know the exact number. These experiments were successful, but we don't have specific figures. This year is the first year, and next year should be better."
Bonnie thanked Professor Gao repeatedly and ran back to the beach, where the seaweed was still being transported back.
Bonnie found her father and told him the good news that the seaweed seedlings had been successfully cultivated.
"Dad, seaweed is usually planted in October. We didn't have any seaweed seedlings before, but this time we succeeded. Dad, you organize manpower to make a large number of straw ropes and bamboo rafts. After this batch of seaweed is harvested, the next batch will be planted, and we can harvest another batch next May or June."
Bonnie's dad was also very excited. Last year, they received three thousand yuan. Although it wasn't much, each family received a little more money. Even a small amount is still money!
Bonnie's dad quickly went to discuss with the other key members of the team how to complete the task, so as not to delay the seaweed seedlings from being put into the water and affect the harvest.
As long as ordinary people see hope, they will not be lazy; they are the most hardworking group of people.
