Chapter 231 New Rice Seeds
The news that Lin Zhen had bought a bicycle soon spread to the whole village.
Everyone was extremely envious.
The next day he took Song Zhiqing to the city.
"Lin Zhen is really promising. I thought his leg would never heal, but it healed so quickly. He looks no different from a normal person now.
You see, he is renovating his house now. It is almost as big as a new one. He also bought a bicycle. It seems that he made a lot of money before. After he retired from the army, the army must have given him a lot. "
"Song Zhiqing has a good eye. Why didn't I seize this opportunity? My daughter is as beautiful as a flower in this area. Lin Zhen looks capable and strong. Even if he doesn't have money, he will definitely not lose out in the future."
Seeing that Lin Zhen was living a prosperous life, Song Wei also became the object of everyone's envy. Some aunts and sisters regretted their decision not to introduce their daughters to Lin Zhen when he was down and out.
"That only works if Lin Zhen likes your girl."
Aunt Wang stood in the crowd eating melon seeds and rolled her eyes.
"You're dreaming about it all the time. Is your daughter as pretty as Song Zhiqing, or as capable as her?"
"Then you have to be attracted to each other before you can choose a partner. Song Zhiqing is pretty, with fair skin and a pleasant voice. She is also very strong and can work in the fields. She can bring back a lot of firewood from the mountains and catch wild rabbits and pheasants from time to time. Her brother is a soldier. Tell me if these conditions are excellent or not. I think Lin Zhen is at a disadvantage with her."
Other aunts and ladies: …………
What you said, how can we refute it?
"Well...you can't say that. Our girl is still pretty good."
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, you are standing with Song Zhiqing. You are men, who do you choose?"
Very good, now everyone is completely silent.
They are not fools.
Changing the subject, Aunt Wang, who had raised her hatred value, began to talk about the Lin family again.
"If we talk about regret, who can regret more than the Lin family?"
Speaking of this, everyone became excited and forgot about the unpleasantness that had just occurred.
"That's right. You don't know that after Old Lady Lin found out that Lin Zhen bought a bicycle, she stood in the yard and scolded him for a long time. She meant that Lin Zhen was unfilial and didn't care about his uncle or them. I heard that when it was New Year's Eve, Old Fourth Lin invited people back to have a New Year's Eve dinner, but Lin Zhen and Heidan didn't go."
"Who's going? Lin Zhen's family had a lot of meat dishes during the New Year. But since Old Lady Lin's son, Lin Lao Er, stopped listening to Old Lady Lin, they only had some bacon for the New Year's Eve dinner this year. It's so ugly."
"Lin Zhen won't go even if there's meat. Lin Zhen still remembers how Old Lady Lin and the others treated Lin Lao San and his wife. And Heidan, he'll probably remember this grudge for the rest of his life, even if they're blood relatives. So, it's better for you to treat your children equally, otherwise you'll suffer retribution when you're old."
"That's right. Lin Lao San and Lin Zhendu are such good children, but they were treated badly by Old Lady Lin. She deserves it."
The gossipy women sat under the jujube tree at the entrance of the village and were whispering to each other, while the men walked by with their hands behind their backs and shook their heads.
He looked like he was disdainful of chatting with the women, but in fact he had strolled past this side several times and was listening very attentively with his ears perked up.
On the other hand, it took Lin Zhen more than two hours to reach the city by bicycle, but he was not tired at all.
Song Wei brought the film she took of Shuanzi's house. She was wearing a light blue dress, with two pigtails on her chest, and her face was full of collagen.
She has a small oval face and big, bright eyes. She has the most pleasing appearance at the moment and looks very blessed.
Standing next to Lin Zhen, she looked very petite and lovely.
These two people can be said to be quite conspicuous in the crowd. The bicycle is conspicuous, Lin Zhen's height is conspicuous, and Song Wei's appearance is also conspicuous.
The men looked at Lin Zhen with envy. A bicycle and a beautiful wife, this is every man's dream.
Some women looked at Song Wei with envy.
This man has a bicycle, so his family must be well off!
"Go develop the photos first."
The two of them came here with a mission this time.
Buy watermelon seeds.
At the seed shop, the owner was also stunned when he heard the word watermelon seeds.
"Hey, there aren't many places in our area that can grow watermelons."
He leaned close to Lin Zhen and asked quietly, "Which brigade are you from? Can I reserve a few watermelons after they are grown?"
Song Wei asked: "So there are watermelon seeds in the store now, right?"
"No."
The uncle shook his head and said, "There are very few people growing watermelons here, but if you want, I can find a way to get some. You can come back and pick it up in seven days."
Lin Zhen and Song Wei nodded: "Thank you for your help, uncle."
"It's a bit troublesome, so this watermelon..."
"I'll definitely leave a few for you when they're ripe."
The uncle was immediately satisfied.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When he was about to leave, Song Wei suddenly saw a bag of rice seeds.
“Is this new rice seed?”
"Oh, yes. These are rice seeds from above, called 'Nanyou No. 2'. Do you want your team to take them back and try them out? I heard that this seed has a high yield."
Song Wei looked at it for a while, and suddenly said, "It's hybrid rice."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Rice, the staple food, is extremely popular in the last days.
By chance, she read some information about the development history of hybrid rice in a tattered period novel.
It seems that this rice has not been widely promoted yet. She remembered that according to the timeline in the novel, hybrid rice was only widely promoted nationwide two years before the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Although it has not yet been popularized nationwide, it seems that the country is already making efforts.
"Okay, I'll ask the team to buy this kind of seeds."
It must be sold.
The brigade also needs to grow rice, and hybrid rice is naturally better.
After leaving the seed shop, Song Wei took Lin Zhen to buy a newspaper.
"Comrade, is there any newspaper about hybrid rice?"
"Yes, how many would you like?"
"Give me five."
After buying the newspaper, Song Wei handed one to Lin Zhen: "Take a look."
Lin Zhen knew that she must have a purpose for doing this, so he followed her obediently throughout the process without asking any questions.
Now I stared at the newspaper and saw that the biggest page was about news related to hybrid rice.
His eyes lit up after reading it.
"It really can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu!"
He tightened his grip on the newspaper.
If this is true, then the person who developed hybrid rice is truly amazing. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the benefactor of the entire nation.
I don’t dare write Grandpa Yuan’s name for fear that this chapter will be blocked, but it’s okay for everyone to know it.
