Fu Song also stood up quickly: "It's just a small matter, you don't have to take it to heart."
The old lady nodded and chatted with Zhang Jiuyue about family matters. Her face was already full of fatigue.
Zhang Jiuyue said at the right moment: "You take a rest first, I will take Mr. Fu around."
The two left the room.
Zhang Jiuyue smiled and said, "If you have anything you want to ask, feel free to ask."
Unexpectedly, Fu Song shook his head: "Nothing I want to ask."
Now it was Zhang Jiuyue who was dumbfounded: "Ah, don't you wonder why I brought you here?
And the identity of the old lady just now is not as simple as you think."
Fu Song said calmly, "She is indeed extraordinary, because her name is Hao Yuezhu, and she is the only agricultural scientist in the country who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Yuan.
Mr. Yuan is known as the 'Father of Hybrid Rice', and she is known as the 'Western Melon King'!"
Zhang Jiuyue was surprised and said, "I thought you didn't know!"
Fu Song was helpless: "Please, I'm not blind. The wall where Grandma Hao lectures is covered with awards she has won.
I searched her name on Baidu and found out her life story clearly.
After Fu Song finished speaking, he couldn't help but admire Hao Yuezhu.
For example, the other party just said that Zhang Jiuyue made fun of her by using the title of "Academician Hao", and there is a little story behind it.
The country held an academician selection meeting that year, but participants were required to submit personal materials.
It turned out that Hao Yuezhu was breeding in an experimental field in the western frontier at the time.
Transportation and communication are inconvenient in the border areas. When Hao Yuezhu finished breeding and returned to Urumqi and heard the news, the new academician had already held a celebration banquet in the imperial capital.
But Hao Yuezhu was not discouraged. After all, if she failed to get the award this year, there was still next year and she would have another chance.
Who would have thought that when it came to the selection period of the second year, she was still breeding in the experimental field.
So I missed it again.
The same thing happened in the third year.
Hao Yuezhu was very depressed because the selection time for academicians coincided with the breeding time.
In desperation, Hao Yuezhu had to give up this title which symbolizes the highest honor for a scientific researcher.
After all, breeding is the real big deal and cannot be delayed.
But as time went by, Hao Yuezhu became more and more famous, and finally even her students were elected as academicians.
She was invited to give lectures at Yenching University, and most of the audience were her students who had been honored as academicians.
Finally, the academician selection committee could not stand the pressure any longer and had to make special arrangements to help her submit the documents and make the selection.
Thus, this 73-year-old old lady finally "got" the title of academician.
