Chapter 675 How can such good news not be exciting?
Just when everyone was still immersed in excitement, Huang Baosen once again announced an exciting news.
"After successfully cultivating winter wheat seeds, I specifically reported to my superiors and requested that our village carry out the first year of cultivation. All the seeds produced would be purchased by the state, so that more farmers can grow winter wheat as soon as possible."
Snap, snap, snap… snap, snap…
Warm applause continued to echo around the experimental field.
The villagers were so excited that they were qualified to be the first to plant winter wheat.
How can such good news not be exciting?
In the past, they had basically nothing to do after the autumn harvest every year and were all unemployed at home.
Although there is no need to work hard in such days, there is not enough food to eat and there is no extra money at home. The thought of such a life is boring.
Now, they can actually plant the first batch of winter wheat. Not only that, the wheat seeds can also be collected by the state. Doesn’t this mean they have more income than in previous years?
Thinking about the extra income that can be doubled, my family will no longer have to go hungry.
The villagers couldn't help but feel more grateful to Shang Ruoting and Huang Baosen.
Those who had just stood up knelt down again in unison.
When Shang Ruoting saw this scene, she knew that these people were truly grateful to them, but she absolutely could not accept such courtesy.
There were too many people kneeling down, and Shang Ruoting and Huang Baosen couldn't help them all.
Huang Baosen grabbed the village chief's arm, and Shang Ruoting also grabbed the two women closest to her, each holding one hand, and shouted for everyone to get up.
After all, the classmates are all highly educated people and do not approve of this kind of kneeling in gratitude.
Especially when they saw Teacher Huang and Shang Ruoting standing there in embarrassment, they all stepped forward to help lift the villagers up.
The villagers all stood up and Huang Baosen waved to everyone.
"Listen to me, folks. We've entered a new era, and kneeling is no longer the norm. If you truly want to express your gratitude, why not work hard to plant winter wheat and harvest more wheat seeds next year? That would be the greatest support you can offer to Ruoting and me."
The village chief took the lead and said, "Okay, I'd like to trouble Professor Huang and Shang Ruoting for their guidance on how to grow winter wheat well."
"Yes, don't worry! I will take care of Dongmai like my own child."
"Me too. I will not let Professor Huang and Mr. Shang down, and I will not let our country down."
The villagers' shouts became louder and louder. They were all ready to work, waiting for Professor Huang's order to start planting winter wheat.
After the excitement, the village chief called a few women to go back quickly. Since Professor Huang and Shang refused to accept their kneeling, they prepared a sumptuous meal to treat them to express their gratitude.
Seeing the villagers' passionate eyes, Huang Baosen swallowed back the words he wanted to refuse.
After exchanging a glance with Shang Ruoting, he thanked the villagers.
"In that case, we won't be polite to you."
Seeing that the two had finally agreed, the village chief quickly told everyone to go back and prepare, and asked the students to come over in the evening to have fun together.
After seeing off the villagers, Shang Ruoting and Huang Baosen were not idle either. They took the students to explain the cultivation process of winter wheat, which was also a lesson for everyone.
In addition, their experimental fields also need to plant winter wheat. Shang Ruoting also explained some planting methods and precautions.
The most important thing is that her improved fertilizer has now proven its benefits in terms of yield, so naturally she has to tell her classmates the reasons for the gap in grain production.
At the same time, Huang Baosen also decided that starting from planting winter wheat, they would choose to use the fertilizer improved by Shang Ruoting.
Not only that, Huang Baosen also sought Shang Ruoting's consent and reported the matter of improved fertilizer to the country, hoping that this fertilizer would be used in North China in the future to increase grain production.
Of course, while he was reporting it, he also did not forget to ask for credit for Shang Ruoting. After all, the benefits of this fertilizer had been proven by facts.
Now, Shang Ruoting has reported two major contributions, but the reward is still unknown.
At the experimental field, Shang Ruoting was busy teaching everyone the essentials of winter wheat planting, and Tan Chen also arrived in Pengcheng smoothly.
The villagers who were the first to help prepare to come here to work rented a large courtyard as a dormitory, and then took Gao Ming and Chen Xiangyang to the construction site of the entertainment club.
As Mr. Feng said, the main building there will be completed soon.
After Tan Chen took the two of them to carefully measure the location where the glass house was to be built, they went to meet Mr. Feng and successfully obtained the first part of the project payment.
After receiving the project payment, Tan Chen took Gao Ming and Chen Xiangyang to visit some decoration material markets in Pengcheng, preparing to purchase a large amount of materials.
