Zhou Lilong truly hadn't expected Yun Duo to be so stubborn. She was such a sensible and well-behaved child, how could she be so obstinate when she got going...
But seeing that her eyes were red and she seemed to empathize with the situation, and considering her background, I couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, he had also suffered. In his early years, when he was very young, his family was actually quite well-off, since they couldn't afford to settle abroad. But after going abroad, he was in a completely unfamiliar place, and it was like immigrating from a weak country to a powerful one. Even if you had a little money, you would still be bullied.
Especially since he was young at the time, and a boy...
Anyway, I suffered a lot.
But no matter how hard it was, he was only ever beaten up by older kids or by several kids together; he never went hungry. Later, the state they lived in was affected by war, and they did go hungry for a few days, but it was very short, and his family always put him first, so he didn't suffer too much.
In the two or three months since returning to China, he has visited quite a few villages on the outskirts of Beijing. However, since it is the outskirts of Beijing, it is considered the capital city, the most prosperous place under the emperor's nose. Although the lives of the people there are not easy, they are not so miserable that they cannot survive and cannot even afford to eat.
But looking at Gu Yunduo and hearing what she said, Zhou Linong couldn't empathize with her, but he couldn't bear it either.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Yun Duo, "But Yun Duo, those rice plants are the hope of China. If they can really be high-yielding and are cultivated by China, the benefits to China and its people will be far greater than simple debt relief. If the US takes the lead... they are now so eager to climb on our country and suck us dry. If we hand over our high-yield crops to them, we will only suffer even more severe exploitation. In severe cases, it could even bankrupt many, many Chinese people."
“But those rice plants can’t be used for planting.” Yun Duo looked straight at Zhou Linong and said very seriously.
Zhou Linong smiled and shook his head: "As the teacher just said, although there is a high probability that those rice varieties cannot be used for planting, we cannot rule out the possibility that they can be used for planting. Without factual evidence and experimental data to support it, we cannot be so arbitrary."
“Teacher.” Yun Duo pursed her lips, her face still serious. “Those rice plants really can’t be used for planting. Even if they could, we wouldn’t be able to protect them. They have the power to reason with us. When we were still in Xichuan, people from the US came and insisted that our rice came from their company’s research institute. If we didn’t give them all the rice, they threatened to send Grandpa to the International Criminal Court and have him imprisoned. If it weren’t for my father’s friends and my father arriving quickly, they would have taken the rice away.”
Zhou Linong gently patted Yun Duo's shoulder and said seriously, "But your father came. He decisively brought that batch of rice back and protected it, preventing it from falling into the hands of foreigners."
“My child, you should trust your father and believe that he can bring that batch of rice back so that it can stay in China.”
