Chapter 124 Newborn Calf
After finishing his work at the research institute, Xie Yun said goodbye to everyone in a hurry, ran home to have dinner, and was about to slip out after wiping his mouth.
Zhang Ruifeng knew what she wanted to do and said, "Go and see if Qingli and the others have had dinner. If not, come back and tell me, and I'll make something to eat and send it over to them."
After returning home, she heard Xie Shen talk about how Qingli and others delivered a cow. She was really shocked. These girls were so amazing, as good as her daughter.
"Okay, I'll go take a look first."
Xie Yun ran out, and Xie Shen called out from behind, "Sister, I'll come find you after I finish washing the dishes."
"Okay~"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was gone.
When Xie Yun ran to the cowshed, he saw Wang Qingli and three others eating dinner. There was cornmeal porridge in an aluminum basin and leek pie in a small basket. The four of them were eating with relish.
The cowshed is cleaned very well by the breeders, and the cows are well taken care of by them, with their backs brushed every day. Therefore, there is a little smell in the cowshed, but it is not strong.
"Have you eaten yet? My mom asked me to come over to see if you've eaten. If not, she'll make it and send it over."
Wang Qinghong smiled and said, "Please say thank you to Aunt Zhang for us."
"Thank you for what?"
Wang Qingli said, "Director Yan brought it back from home. She didn't eat it at home, so she came to eat with us."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "I guessed it on the way. With Director Yan here, you will definitely not go hungry."
Director Yan laughed heartily: "Binbin, your little mouth is as sweet as honey. I am always happy when I hear you talk. Have you eaten? If not, come and eat with us."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "I've already eaten. I came here after I finished eating. Is this Hongxia's cooking?"
Director Yan smiled and said, "That's right. Originally, Lao Zhao was supposed to cook dinner, but he came home late today, so Hongxia cooked it."
"We're also busy with some things at the brigade, and Director Zhao is helping out there."
"What's the brigade busy with?"
"I'm busy getting the institute's name signed. I applied to the commune, and our 'Taoyuan Commune High-Quality Wheat Seed Research Institute' is officially established. I got two signs back, one for the experimental field, and one for the night school. Now the night school is also the institute, so we have two signs for one organization. The team leader will find time to get the official seal carved back, and we'll be all set."
Yan Guixiang laughed out loud, "Good, good, good! Well done!"
Xie Yun smiled and said, "I think I'm doing a good job. With the research institute as a basket, we can put anything into it!"
Qian Gaoyun said with anticipation, "Once we have a successful research, it will surely become world-renowned, and all the sister organizations that have helped us before will be proud of it."
Xie Yun: "Of course not!"
Qian Gaoyun added, "I hope my dad can find more books for me. We already have a research institute, so we need more books. Otherwise, it will be a disgrace to the reputation of our institute."
Xie Yun: “…”
Several people were chatting while watching the calf feeding.
After the cow gave birth, the afterbirth was not delivered for an hour, so Wang Qingli and her colleagues helped the cow to remove the afterbirth. They also helped the calf learn to stand and drink milk. The mucus on its body was also licked clean by the cow. Now, the calf looks at the world with its bright big eyes, looking very cute.
Xie Yun praised sincerely, "You guys are amazing. If it were me, I'd probably be in a mess."
Wang Qingli laughed and said, "We were in a mess too, but luckily we calmed down after a short while."
"Are you really going to stay here tonight?"
"Um."
Director Yan said, "I'll stay with them. Don't worry, it's okay."
"Then how do you sleep?"
"Hey, it's summer now, why can't we just sleep? Just spread some hay on the ground, wrap ourselves in a sheet, lie down on the hay, and we'll be done. We don't even need a mat."
Xie Yun: "...There are mosquitoes..."
Director Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then let Lao Zhao stay here and keep an eye on things. Qingli and the others can all sleep at my house. If anything happens at night, have Lao Zhao go home and call us. My house is close, so it won't be delayed. Lao Zhao is very fast."
Qian Gaoyun asked, "Director Zhao, aren't you afraid of mosquito bites?"
Director Yan laughed and said, "He's really not afraid. Old Zhao had no reaction when he was bitten by a mosquito. He sometimes brags outside, saying that mosquitoes don't bite him, but that's nonsense. Mosquitoes may be biting him while he's talking, but he really doesn't have any reaction, no itching, no swelling. He doesn't even know he was bitten by a mosquito."
Wang Qingli smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Director Zhao."
At this moment, Xie Shen came, "Sister."
He greeted the others and saw that they were eating. Then he said to Xie Yun, "I'm going to go back and tell Mom that she doesn't need to cook anymore."
Xie Yun said, "Don't you want to see Xiao Niu? After that, let's go back together. There's nothing to worry about here. Your sister Qingli and the others have handled everything very well."
"look."
Xie Shen was very excited and stared at the calf closely. "Sister, its eyes are quite beautiful."
"Newborns are all beautiful, no matter if they are human or animal. Their eyes are as bright and sparkling as if they have been washed with water."
The calf had just come into this world and was probably a little curious. When he saw Xie Shen approaching him, he stood up and walked towards Xie Shen.
Xie Shen was not afraid at all and even reached out to touch the calf's head. The newborn calf had no horns and did not look dangerous at all. It was cute and adorable.
After playing for a while, Xiao Niu returned to his mother. Xie Shen followed Xie Yun home and reported to her along the way what he had learned in school that day, what interesting things had happened between classmates, and who the teacher criticized and praised.
☆
Xie Yun was the commune's propaganda officer, and writing was her job. She wrote about any event, big or small, happening in the commune, including Liushutun and other brigades, as long as she could extract some meaning from it.
The next day, as soon as she arrived at the workplace, she began writing about the establishment of a research institute by poor and lower-middle peasants:
After six months of preparation, the Excellent Wheat Seed Research Institute of Taoyuan Commune, Qushui County, Rencheng City, has finally been officially established! This research institute, founded entirely by poor and lower-middle peasants, is currently conducting experiments in wheat hybridization, both distant and close hybridization.
During the preparation period, the wheat yield of Liushutun Brigade, which serves as an experimental base, has increased significantly through scientific planting and soil improvement. Currently, Taoyuan Commune is preparing to promote Liushutun's yield increase experience throughout the commune.
With the research on high-quality wheat varieties, the goals of increasing agricultural production, increasing farmers' income and modernizing agriculture are just around the corner.
All members of Taoyuan Commune said that this is all thanks to the leadership of the Party and the support of the country.
In the past two years, education has been opened up to poor and lower-middle peasants, which has thoroughly stimulated their enthusiasm for learning. They love learning, love the land, love the Party and the country, and are determined to research better seeds and grow more grain for the country and the people.
The elderly people in Liushutun who are the five-guarantee households are cared for by the Party and the country, and they are eager to give back to the country. They patrol the fields with their staggering steps and continue to shine and contribute.
The old branch secretary, wounded on the battlefield, worked diligently every day on crutches. He said, "For our country, I am willing to work until the last moment of my life."
The country also sent us educated youth, who are not only knowledgeable and cultured, but also have vigorous vitality. They received re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants in the countryside, integrated with the members of the commune, ate, lived and worked together, and in the vast world, they shed their sweat and youth, working hard for the prosperity of the motherland.
