Chapter 419 Invitation to join the salt-alkali wheat research

Chen Mengqi almost laughed out loud when he heard that Su Ranran's father was actually a farmer.

Seeing how brightly she was dressed, she thought she was also from the city.

I didn’t expect that he was a farmer?

It turned out that when Su Ranran introduced herself that day, in order not to attract attention, she only said that she was from Xi County.

There is not much else to say.

Chen Mengqi naturally thought that Su Ranran was from the county seat of Qi County.

But she never expected that she was actually from the country!

And her old father who worked in the fields also found his way to the school?

"Did you really see it clearly? Her father is thin and dark?"

Chen Mengqi confirmed with Qin Yu with some excitement.

"It's absolutely true. So many people saw it, and everyone said it was her father, so how could it be false?"

Qin Yu's voice also couldn't hide her excitement.

It seemed as if as long as she proved that Su Ranran was a country girl, she would be superior to her.

Although she was an educated youth sent to the countryside to work, she was still a city dweller. Isn't that much better than Su Ranran, who was from the countryside?

Both of them joined the school's drama club and were preparing to rehearse a drama.

Qin Yu was an educated youth sent to work in the countryside, so his living conditions were naturally not as good as Chen Mengqi's.

When she first moved into the dormitory, her clothes were still patched. After just a few days of dating Chen Mengqi, she borrowed her new coat.

After Chen Mengqi's grooming, she looked radiant.

During the rehearsal, she attracted a lot of attention from male classmates.

Qin Yu felt quite happy, thinking that the pink coat suited her better.

When Chen Mengqi saw that she looked prettier wearing his coat, he felt both proud and uncomfortable.

However, she quickly put this discomfort behind her as she had to rehearse the play.

On the other side, Su Ranran and Li Shicheng also found a place to sit down.

Naturally, Li Shicheng came to her for the matter of Salt and Alkali Wheat.

His saline-alkali wheat research project had already been approved, and he was originally waiting for Su Ranran to enter the Agricultural and Forestry University before inviting her to join the research institute.

But who would have known that she would come to Xida?

There was no other choice, Li Shicheng could only come here.

"Comrade Su Ranran, although this request is a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, if you are not busy with your studies, can you go to the Agricultural and Forestry University to give us some advice on the saline-alkali wheat project?"

Looking at Li Shicheng's expectant look, Su Ranran felt a little guilty.

She didn't expect that she was admitted to Xi'an University. Originally, she did intend to study halo-alkali wheat with them.

"Of course I can, but I don't have much free time. I can only go there once every Friday afternoon. I don't know if I can help you."

After a week of hard study, Su Ranran has already mastered some knowledge of computer principles and is preparing to further her study and research. Her schedule is indeed quite tight.

Hearing her agreement, Li Shicheng's eyes suddenly lit up amazingly.

"That's great! If you'd just come over."

After all, Su Ranran had successfully developed saline-alkali rice.

As long as she is willing to participate, let alone an afternoon, even if she can spare ten minutes every week to look at their research, it will definitely be much better than their current closed-door research.

Li Shicheng came here rarely, so he chatted with Su Ranran until five in the afternoon before leaving Xida.

After sending him out the gate, Su Ranran returned to school.

There were probably no cars going to Qie County at this point, so Su Ranran had to suppress her urge to fly back home and planned to go back early tomorrow morning.

When I returned to the dormitory, Chen Mengqi and Qin Yu had just finished rehearsing a play.

When they saw Su Ranran, both of them showed a meaningful smile in their eyes.

It seems like pride, but also like contempt.

Su Ranran: …

No, what does it mean when they laugh like this?

Soon, Su Ranran knew why they laughed so contemptuously.

"Ranran, I heard that your dad came to see you this afternoon. Did he go back so soon?"

While eating, Zhong Xi asked curiously.

Su Ranran chatted with Li Shicheng for too long in the afternoon. When she returned to the dormitory, He Ping and her daughter had already finished their meal.

Su Ranran had no choice but to go to the cafeteria with Zhong Xi and Li Xiaoshuang.

Hearing Zhong Xi say this, Su Ranran looked a little strange.

No wonder Chen Mengqi's expression was so strange.

It turns out that they all thought Li Shicheng was a farmer, and her biological father!

After learning about this outrageous rumor, Su Ranran was both angry and amused.

Finally, I had to explain: "That man is not my father. He is a professor at the Agricultural and Forestry University. He wants to talk to me about something."

Zhong Xi was a little surprised to hear that the old man in rustic clothes was actually a professor.

"You said he...he was a professor?"

I can't tell at all.

Although the economic conditions in this region are backward at this time, the professors in schools shouldn't be that shabby, right?

"This is normal. To put it bluntly, agronomy is the study of farming. Even though he is a professor, he still has to go to the fields every day. His work is no easier than that of farmers."

After hearing this, Zhong Xi suddenly realized.

"It seems that this professor must have strong professional knowledge."

Otherwise, how could he have tanned himself like that? He looks just like a farmer.

Seeing that she didn't know who Li Shicheng was, Su Ranran felt helpless.

"That's for sure, you know what a mixed-breed wheat is?"

When she mentioned the mixed-breed Xiao Mai, Zhong Xi showed some excitement.

"I know this. My dad told me that we in Shan Province have been growing hybrid wheat for the past two years, and the yield is very high!"

Food is the primary need of the people. When it comes to high-yield hybrid wheat, even people like Zhong Xi who have never worked in the fields and only worked in a factory get excited.

"Then let me tell you, the hybrid wheat was developed by a team led by Professor Li Shicheng."

After hearing these words, Zhong Xi's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Ran...Ranran, are you telling the truth? Is that professor really studying hybrid wheat?"

Su Ranran was a little amused, "How can I deceive you?"

Upon hearing that the professor was the one who invented hybrid wheat, Zhong Xi couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Ranran, why didn't you tell me? I could go shake his hand."

She could brag about it to her dad when she gets home.

It turns out that Zhong Xi's father used to go to the countryside often to work on agricultural technology.

Influenced by what he saw and heard, Zhong Xi was full of admiration for those who engaged in agricultural research.

The two were eating and chatting when suddenly, someone sat down next to Su Ranran.

"Are you classmate Su Ranran?"
