"Xiao Xue, Shuangshuang, I'm going on vacation!" Bai invited her two best friends to sit next to her, Qin Shuangshuang, her roommate from the second year of high school, and Hou Xiaoxue, a nurse at the People's Hospital. After spending half a day shopping on the weekend, the three of them sat down at a KFC restaurant and chatted about their plans.
Students get summer vacation, but Hou Xue, who has a job, looks miserable. She attended the provincial health school and then, through connections, got an internship at the municipal people's hospital. She doesn't get many holidays, so having a proper vacation is out of the question. Hearing Xiao Yu and her new friend Qin Shuangshuang talk about their college entrance exams and estimated scores, Hou Xue is incredibly envious.
She wanted to go to university, but her family's financial situation wasn't good, so she chose a vocational nursing school instead. She could only become a nurse.
Xiaoyu is in high spirits right now. Zhang Guodong promised to spend the summer vacation with her. Where they go is up to her. But the girl already has her own plans.
According to her mother, Ye Cuihua, she had initially accepted this new family that brought her warmth and affection. Xiaoyu usually didn't call her older brother Zhang Guodong "Second Brother," and there were different levels of closeness between her and Zhang Guozheng and Zhang Guohao. She was doing research in the desert, where there were many professors and experts, and Xiaoyu wanted to go and play there.
Qin Shuangshuang's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "A vacation? Wow! I'm so jealous! I want to go too! I want to go too! It's so boring at home, Mom and Dad are both so busy, and I have no one to keep me company!"
Then she took a sip of juice and continued muttering, "Xiaoxue, are you going or not?"
Hou Xue made a bitter face, sighed deeply, and said, "I still have to work, I'm going to die! I only get three days off a month!"
"Such a short vacation?" Qin Shuangshuang exclaimed in surprise, then added indignantly, "Your hospital is so exploitative! They're ripping off our employees!"
"Puchi!" Little Fish laughed immediately upon hearing this.
"Xiaoxue is eighteen already!" Xiaoyu smiled, pursing her lips.
"Oh, I can't go, you guys go ahead. Don't forget to take pictures, I'll look at them when I get back!" Hou Xiaoxue said. This matter both troubled and excited her. But considering that her internship was about to end and it was time to consider her performance evaluation, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on her supervisor, so she decided to wait until next time.
“Xiaoyu, I’m alone at home anyway. I’ll go with you, okay?” Qin Shuangshuang said.
"Okay, I'll go to my brother's place, in the desert!" Xiaoyu nodded and smiled. But then she thought about Qin Shuangshuang; would her brother be angry? But since her best friend wanted to go, she couldn't refuse.
"Hey, when will it be released?"
"Tomorrow, wait for my call tomorrow!" Xiaoyu said after thinking for a moment.
After staying at home for a few days, Xiaoyu was constantly treated to delicious food and drinks, and the Zhang family adored her. Her two sisters-in-law, Zheng Le and Ye Yun, bought her many clothes and gave her plenty of pocket money. Xiaoyu especially loved the three little ones and was happy every day.
However, Xiaoyu still prefers to be with her brother Zhang Guodong and wants to go to Zhang Guodong's "work" desert vacation. She invited the two sisters out today specifically for this, to let them know so that Qin Shuangshuang and Hou Xiaoxue wouldn't be unable to find her during the summer vacation.
But Qin Shuangshuang was also going, which made Yu, who had returned home, somewhat worried.
"Little Fish, why are you frowning? What's wrong? Tell Mom." Little Fish came in, and her mother immediately noticed that the little girl was absent-minded, so she asked. It was her turn to look after the three little ones that day, and the living room was filled with laughter.
"Mom, it's okay, I'll go pack my things. My second brother will pick me up tomorrow!" Xiaoyu said, shaking her head in a panic. Her mother, being an experienced woman who had lived in the city for a long time, knew to give young people space and didn't press Xiaoyu to find out what was bothering her.
"Auntie, Auntie!" Zhang Xiaowen saw Xiaoyu and immediately ran over with her chubby little hands outstretched, followed by the pretty Xiaotong. Only Zhang Hao seemed a bit more reserved, but he had the air of a boss, blinking at the fish.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall!" Mom quickly followed.
Xiaoyu smiled, squatted down and kissed the three little ones, then said, "Haohao, Xiaowen, Xiaotong, have you been naughty?"
"My older brother and sister are naughty!" Xiaowen giggled, actually tattled on them.
"Auntie, it was Xiaowen who was being naughty!" Zhang Xiaotong said, unwilling to be falsely accused.
Zhang Hao nodded vigorously.
The three little ones are not even two years old yet, but their intelligence far surpasses that of their peers.
After finally calming the three little ones down, Xiaoyu returned to her room and hesitated for a moment before calling Zhang Guodong.
Ningyun's slogan is Shatian.
The sandy fields, covering several square kilometers, are gradually turning green. The "Golden Wheat" seedlings, transplanted just three days ago, are already growing an inch taller thanks to the underground irrigation system, even though their growth isn't particularly vigorous. There's no longer any worry about them dying; their vitality is steadily increasing.
The microorganisms, known as "Interstellar Shennong," are multiplying rapidly. They are constantly devouring the sand in the two-meter-deep sand layer, expelling soil and significantly improving the growing environment for "Golden Wheat."
Overall, things are moving in a positive direction.
However, the three professors' research did not go smoothly. They initially thought the discovery of this microorganism would be worldwide good news, but Professor Liu's suggestion to conduct experiments with ordinary seedlings was a significant blow to Professor Yan.
Only the improved seedlings provided by Zhang Guodong enabled the microorganisms, the "Interstellar Shennong," to take effect. Wherever ordinary seedlings were planted, the "Interstellar Shennong" would be released, and its reproduction rate would be unbearably low. Perhaps it would take ten years to transform one square meter of sandy land into a semi-sandy soil suitable for the growth of ordinary crops.
The improved golden wheat seedlings provided by Zhang Guodong, however, take less than a year to grow, and release one square meter of microorganisms that have an effective area of four square meters! Ten years versus one year, one square meter versus four square meters!
What a huge difference!
Therefore, Professor Yan, refusing to believe the superstition, approached Zhang Guodong several times to study the differences in seedlings, but Zhang Guodong, though aware of the problem, was unable to resolve it.
The existence of "Golden Wheat" is a byproduct of Zhang Guodong's experiments in understanding the "Law of Life." What "Law of Life" could he possibly tell Professor Yan?
Clearly, this is something that cannot be communicated.
Seeing Professor Yan and the others looking extremely worried, Zhang Guodong said helplessly, "It's probably because of the existence of my improved seedlings that these microorganisms appeared. If that's the case, it just shows how unique my 'Golden Wheat' is. Ordinary seedlings would probably need a very long time to adapt to this environment."
"That's the only explanation!" Professor Yan slapped his thigh and hurriedly went back to his research.
Then, a few days later, Professor Yan, Professor Liu, and Professor Kang came to visit again.
"Xiao Zhang, we've made no progress in our research on this microorganism, but we've come up with a feasible solution. If we promote your 'Golden Wheat,' wouldn't that solve the problem? I just wonder what the yield of your 'Golden Wheat' is?" Professor Yan said.
Zhang Guodong naturally knew the yield of "Golden Wheat." He had casually planted and transplanted the latest generation of "Golden Wheat" in Peach Blossom Spring, but he hadn't had time to harvest it. Unbeknownst to Zhang Guodong, the three women in Peach Blossom Spring, bored at the moment, were harvesting some mature crops. They had already harvested quite a bit, but lacked containers to hold it.
"The growing environment for Golden Wheat is very demanding. It can only reach its full growth potential when the spiritual energy is at least fifty times stronger."
Moreover, the grains are large, but the yield is only one-fifth that of ordinary wheat. In this desert environment, the quality will be significantly lower, and the best-case scenario for yield is estimated to be one-tenth, which is already the maximum!
Zhang Guodong's half-truthful remark dealt a blow to the three of them. This essentially dashed their hopes of promoting the product.
“Golden wheat cannot be completely inherited. If the seeds of the next generation are used as mother seeds, the quality and yield will be even lower. I have already conducted small-scale experiments on this! As the number of generations of breeding increases, the quality will be lower. Basically, after the second generation, the quality of the third generation is almost the same as that of ordinary wheat!” Zhang Guodong said.
This result dealt a heavy blow to the three of them.
It seems that everyone was too hasty in celebrating the breakthrough in research on "interstellar Shennong" (a type of microorganism) and its potential for "crop cultivation in desert environments."
Zhang Guodong was also helpless. His understanding of the "Law of Life" was insufficient to make these crops perfect. If he had fully comprehended the "Law of Life," perhaps he could have enabled these crops to be completely inherited.
But it's impossible now!
Complete inheritance is perhaps the most difficult aspect of the "laws of life" to grasp.
"Master, there's a phone call." In front of the stone house. Under a huge parasol, with a deck chair and a table, Zhang Guodong, wearing loose trousers, a vest, and slippers, lay on it.
The phone on the table rang.
"Hello"
"Brother, it's me, Xiaoyu!" came a timid, affectionate voice from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Guodong opened his eyes, a slight smile on his face, and said, "Xiaoyu, what's up? Have you packed everything? I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning!" Xiaoyu replied.
"What's wrong? Hehe, is there anything my princess is embarrassed to say?" Zhang Guodong joked.
road.
"Brother, can I bring one more person? Shuangshuang is home alone. Her parents are both busy with work. I told her I was going on vacation, and she said she wanted to come too!" Xiaoyu said, mustering her courage.
"Oh? Sure, the desert is so boring, having a girlfriend to keep you company would be great." Zhang Guodong had thought it was something serious, but upon hearing this, he immediately smiled and agreed.
Although we weren't allowed to enter the third room of this stone house, the second room, besides the bathroom, also had a bedroom, enough for two people. The first room, however, was Zhang Guodong's place, serving as both the living room and bedroom.
"Thank you, brother!" Little Fish was immediately delighted.
"Little girl, no need to thank me. You're in charge of these things from now on. It's always convenient for me. It's more lively here with you all here!" Zhang Guodong said with a smile.
"Okay, see you tomorrow morning, brother."
See you tomorrow morning!
"Looks like we'll have to drive into the desert again for this little girl." Zhang Guodong put away his phone, shook his head and smiled. Xiaoyu was an ordinary person, and so was Qin Shuangshuang; Zhang Guodong didn't plan to use a teleportation array. He'd have to drive a desert off-road vehicle in.
