Chapter 970: Something Happened to Hybrid Rice
"The eldest brother of the farm helped to set it up briefly. The third brother also transported some live sheep and piglets back and temporarily raised them in a simple version of the farm. After I was discharged from the hospital, the pigs grew up like Now, I will organize the farm well.
"By that time, our second store will also be open, and the demand will increase.
Xu Hua nodded: "Okay, then I will follow the method you said. We will recruit the chef responsible for copper pot hotpot in two days, and then thoroughly implement the preliminary preparations. After you are discharged from the hospital, our No. 2 store can be officially opened.
See Xu Huajing and Xu Wanning have discussed the matter, the eldest aunt and the second aunt She was also ready to leave.
Before leaving, the second aunt took Xu Wanning's hand and said, "An Ning, don't worry about your fourth brother and Minmin. Maoning has experience in this matter. I'll just let Maoning help solve it. You take good care of yourself, you know?
"I know the second aunt, I will take a good rest.
After the three aunts left, Xu Wanning lay back on the bed again. "
She noticed that Xu's mother's expression was a little solemn, especially when she looked at her, she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Mom, do you have something to tell me?"
Xu's mother looked at her sadly, and then took out a letter.
"This is what I sent to Academician Zhang when I went to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences today. He asked me to pass it on to you. Moreover, Academician Zhang's tone was urgent, and it looked like he had encountered something big. Open it and take a look.
Wen Yan, Xu Wanning She hurriedly opened the letter and after reading only a few lines, she said: "No, I have to leave for Yangcheng as soon as possible.
" I knew it, I knew it!" Xu's mother said angrily: "I knew it after reading this letter. I will definitely not be hospitalized with peace of mind in the future!"
But Xu's mother also knew that Academician Zhang was so eager to ask her to hand over the letter, which meant that there was a problem with the hybrid rice matter.
From a mother's perspective, Xu's mother naturally did not want her injured daughter to run around.
But from the perspective of the great love of the country, she couldn't bear not to tell Xu Wanning about this.
First of all, Xu Wanning has put in too much effort into researching hybrid rice. If a problem really arises that affects the experimental results of hybrid rice, Xu Wanning will definitely not be able to accept it.
Secondly, if something goes wrong, it means that the distance for the people to have enough to eat is getting further and further away. Even for the people of China, she cannot selfishly only consider Xu Wanning's physical condition and hide this matter. Don’t talk about things.
"Mom, I..."
Xu Wanning looked at Xu's mother's red eyes, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Mom, I know you are worried about my physical condition, but now, there is a message from Yangcheng, saying that the first batch of hybrids There is a problem with the rice, and some experimental subjects have withered. This is related to our entire research. I have to see it with
my own eyes. "Mom, I know my physical condition. Although I look weak, I am actually better." It's almost ready for a long trip. Besides, the third brother will definitely help me buy a sleeper ticket. Although I have to be delayed on the train for a few days, I am basically lying in bed and recuperating, which is not much different from being in the hospital
. "The medicine prescribed by the doctor, I I will definitely eat on time and not miss a meal. Can you just let me go?"
Xu Wanning hugged Xu's arm and looked at her aggrievedly, but Xu's mother had no power to resist.
"Okay, okay, I didn't say not to let you go! But you have to remember what you said yourself, all actions must be based on taking care of your own body. You have to think about it, if your body It's broken. Those of us who care about you will feel sorry for you. It will also affect your future research. How unworthy.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of myself. I
got Xu's mother's approval. Xu Wanning is busy." Said: "Mom, I'm going to call Third Brother now and ask him to buy a ticket for me
. "You just lie down peacefully, I'll make a call. Will Academician Zhang and the others go? How many tickets do I need to buy? "
Two tickets, just for me and Academician Zhang.
"Okay, I'm going to make a call now.
At noon the next day, Xu Wanning and Academician Zhang got on the train to Yangcheng.
"Wanning, I'm really sorry. Logically speaking, you should now Stay in bed and rest well, but I force you to go on a business trip to Yangcheng with me.
"Academician Zhang, please don't say this. We all have the same purpose, which is to hope that the research on hybrid rice can be completely successful. But then again "The description in your letter to me yesterday was not very clear, and I don't know what the situation is at the Yangcheng Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
"While there is still time, please tell me carefully. I was confident, and after I went there I knew where to start to solve the problem.
Hearing this, Academician Zhang shook his head and said helplessly: "Yesterday at noon, I received a call from Academician Chu. He said that the first batch of hybrid rice was about to mature, but more than half of it died. The academicians of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences tried to find out the problem from all aspects,
so they called me. , I hope I can inform you, let's go and see,
"Not all are dead, are there still survivors?"
"Yes, that's what Academician Chu said. He also said that when I talked to you on the phone before, the batch of rice was watching The harvest was about to begin, and they also thought of sending some of the newly harvested rice over so that we could have a taste. But when it was time to harvest, most of it was dead.
"But the ones that were not dead, They had harvested overnight and the rice had been saved, but they still didn't know what the problem was. Wan Ning, what do you think now? "
Xu Wanning shook her head and said: "I don't have any ideas for you at the moment, because there are many reasons for this situation. No one can say why until the real reason is found. Academician Zhang, don’t worry. Although this news caught us off guard, it is not impossible to solve.
"In the early stages of research, it is normal to encounter various problems. As long as we find out where the problem is and take precautions in the future, we will be able to solve it." The
next day, the train arrived in Yangcheng. Academician Chu came to pick up Xu Wanning and Academician Zhang in person.
In the car, Academician Chu told Xu Wanning the specific situation,
but what he said was very different from what Academician Zhang described . Let’s talk about the most important point.
Therefore, Xu Wanning had to check it out in person after arriving at the site. After arriving at the Academy of Agricultural
Sciences, Xu Wanning refused Academician Chu’s suggestion to let them rest and went directly to the site.
