"Actually, I don't know why we were able to grow high-yield rice when we were at home."
After the first day of classes, Dr. Zhou Linong unsurprisingly asked Yun Duo about the details of how she managed to grow high-yield rice.
However, the night before, the night Gu Shaoyong brought Zhou Linong home as a guest, after seeing Zhou Linong off, Gu Shaoyong immediately sought out Yun Duo and told her not to rush to tell Zhou Lilong some details about planting the high-yield rice.
It's not that I don't trust Zhou Linong.
Instead...
To reiterate, China is weak, while D country is a powerful and advanced nation. Zhou Linong is currently affiliated with the National Agricultural Research Institute of D country. If he successfully develops high-yield rice, D country will have a ready-made reason to take the success away from him.
Let's whet Zhou Linong's appetite for now and let him resolve the 'potential' troubles himself first.
Yun Duo wholeheartedly agreed with this.
Although technology knows no borders, she does have a homeland. Of course, she should side with her own country.
So when Zhou Linong asked her question, Yun Duo pretended to be troubled and replied with "I don't know," but then immediately asked Zhou Linong, "Teacher, can you research high-yield rice so that all of us Chinese can grow high-yield rice and everyone can have enough to eat?"
He looked expectant.
Finally, she added, "Teacher, being hungry is awful. In the past, many people in our village could only eat wild vegetables, sweet potatoes, and bran dumplings, which didn't taste good at all! Sometimes, I couldn't even get bran dumplings or sweet potatoes, and I had to dig up wild vegetables to eat..."
She ate it raw. Of course, this wasn't a cloud, but the original owner of this body. But that doesn't need explaining; anyway, she wasn't exactly lying.
"At that time, I really hoped to be able to taste sweet potato porridge, but unfortunately I couldn't."
"Teacher, if everyone could grow high-yield rice, wouldn't everyone have sweet potato porridge to eat? Wouldn't we no longer have to eat wild vegetable dumplings and bran buns every day?"
Zhou Linong was a little stunned.
This is a difficult question to answer...
Although he felt that his hopes should rest on Yun Duo, wouldn't it be too absurd to say it out loud?
etc……
He felt that the point of this girl named Gu Yunduo's words was not whether he could figure it out, but rather that everyone in China should plant it.
Otherwise, why would she add those few sentences later?
But are the people of China really suffering that much?
Zhou Linong turned his gaze to the clouds.
He now knows Yun Duo's age and some basic facts. This little girl is so thin and small, she looks much younger than her actual age, but... he has also met her grandparents when she was in the Yun family. Those two old people really loved her.
So, it must be because they can't get enough to eat that they're so thin, right?
He knew that China was suffering, and he could imagine that Chinese farmers were suffering even more. In fact, farmers in most parts of the world were living very hard lives during this era.
He never imagined things would be this bad; the farmers who tilled the land had nothing to eat but sweet potatoes, wild vegetables, and bran...
For a moment, Zhou Linong felt a pang of sadness.
His parents took him abroad when he was very young, so he grew up in D country. However, he will never forget what his father told him when he passed away: no matter what, their roots are in China.
