[Chapter 430 Chapter 430 Shen Junlin's Request]
It has been a month since Shen Junlin came to China.
This month he went out early and came back late, and was busy with the affairs of the courtyard.
He has now learned to take the bus by himself, and he enjoys it even though he has to change buses several times a day.
The couple felt a little embarrassed about this, wondering why they had asked the third brother to be the supervisor?
They tried to persuade him many times, but Shen Junlin insisted on doing so.
He said he didn't stay in the courtyard all the time, but would walk around when he had free time.
For him, this is a window to understand people's livelihood. He likes to walk around and see the world quietly by himself, and he is very satisfied with this kind of life.
What else could the couple say?
I can only give my third brother as much money as possible.
Leave him alone outside, at least don't let him talk badly.
Just when Shen Yuyao and her two children had finally survived their final exams and were about to embark on their winter vacation, the warm wall and floor heating in the courtyard were finally installed.
At this time, the weather was too bad for other projects to continue.
Chen Junlin closed the gate of the courtyard, made an appointment with the workers to resume work in the spring, and never went there again.
It was not until this time that he made a request to his sister and brother-in-law that he had been thinking about for a long, long time.
"You mean you want to buy some local grain seeds?" Cheng Liyan asked.
"Yes, high-yield, high-quality wheat and rice seeds are best. Of course, other crops are also fine. We also need some vegetable seeds. For example, the eggplant seedlings my sister sent back that year have now been planted on a large scale in Wushuang Country."
There are no rice seedlings now, after all, the Spring Festival is almost here.
But you can still look for grain seeds.
Cheng Liyan felt that his third brother came at the wrong time. If he was concerned about grain production, he should have come a few months earlier.
But who can tell what chance is?
He immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll help you look for it, it shouldn't be a difficult task."
Shen Yuyao said: “Don’t just think about fine grains, as long as they are high-yielding, disease-resistant, and can grow in harsh environments, coarse grains will also do.
Like millet, sorghum, barley, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and so on, just find whatever you can.
Some of these varieties are already available in Wushuang Country, but it would be good to have more for comparison so that you can choose the best.
We also need vegetable seeds and cash crops, such as sesame and rapeseed, if we can find some."
My sister's words immediately touched Shen Junlin's heart!
That's what he had in mind.
It's just that, essentially, he is a person who doesn't like to cause trouble to others, so even if he wants more in his heart, he is embarrassed to say it.
I just gritted my teeth and said what I needed most.
Now that his sister had completed the task for him, Shen Junlin's gaze towards Shen Yuyao became lively again.
Being stared at with such passionate eyes by her brother, how could Shen Yuyao not understand what was going on?
She couldn't help but laugh.
She said, "Brother, we are a family. Why should we think so much? Just tell me what you think.
Your brother-in-law and I were very polite to you when we asked you to help build the house. Why do you have so many concerns?"
After his wife said this, Cheng Liyan realized that his third uncle was actually a shy person.
He couldn't help but smile.
"Third brother, I am a rough man, I don't have so many twists and turns in my mind. If you have something to say, just tell me, I can't guess it if you don't tell me.
If you have anything else you want, tell me now. Buying seeds requires a lot of money, so just tell me what you want, and I'll just help you get it all back."
Cheng Liyan's words made Shen Junlin blush.
He waved his hands repeatedly: "That's all, that's all, nothing else. It's just..."
He pursed his lips and asked, "Where did my brother-in-law get the books he sent back to my second brother? Is there anything else?
If so, could you take me to see it?"
I want to read a book!
Isn’t this simple?
There was no need for Cheng Liyan to do anything about this. Shen Yuyao said, "Brother, I'll take you there. I'm on winter vacation now and don't have anything to do. Tomorrow I'll take you and the two little ones with me, and we'll go to the bookstore together!"
It was the early 1980s, and the nation was in the midst of a reading craze.
In the past two years, two particularly large Xinhua Bookstores have been built in Beijing, and their overall area is much larger than that of a department store!
That’s not all. In addition to these two bookstores located in the most prosperous areas, there are also many small, more convenient community bookstores on the streets and alleys.
Want to visit a bookstore?
It really couldn't be simpler.
But Cheng Liyan thought more deeply.
He said: "You guys go to the bookstore first, I will contact my comrades and get the grain seeds back first.
In a couple of days I will try to find someone I know in various research institutes. If I can, I will try to bring my third brother to visit them."
Cheng Liyan could see that this third brother was different from the second brother who had come before.
The second brother is devoted to martial arts and has an extroverted personality.
People will tell you what they want, and you don't have to guess at all.
This third brother is more shy.
Whatever people want, they keep it in their hearts.
Let me help you finish the work first, and then tentatively speak out little by little.
Cheng Liyan felt that if his wife had not been sitting here today, he would never have been able to guess what was going on in his third uncle's mind until the very end.
There's a high probability that he will have to swallow back half of those wishes in the end!
They were born to the same parents, but their personalities are so different.
Cheng Liyan couldn't help but laugh.
But at the same time, I also paid more attention to it.
On that same day, Cheng Liyan began to contact his comrades-in-arms and old friends scattered across the country by phone and letter, in an effort to get close to them.
Let everyone take action to help him find better grain seeds.
Cheng Liyan cast a very wide net, reaching from the southernmost point to the northernmost point.
After all, Wushuang is a landlocked country. Although its land area is not particularly large, there is no shortage of land suitable for farming.
Find more of a variety of things, there are only benefits and no harm.
When Cheng Liyan started looking for grain seeds for his third uncle, Shen Yuyao had already taken her third brother to the largest Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing.
This Xinhua Bookstore was built less than a year ago and is still shiny new.
The building has six floors in total and the space is spacious. There are plenty of lights on and sufficient heating even in broad daylight.
As soon as you lift the door curtain and walk in, you can feel the warmth and the warm light.
Those who were about to be blown away by the wind suddenly felt relieved.
Shen Junlin has been a book lover since he was young.
When I was a little older, I started traveling with my master.
He can be said to be the one in the family who has been to the most places and seen the most of the world.
But even so, Shen Junlin had never seen such a big bookstore!
At this moment, he was like a little mouse falling into a rice jar, and his whole body was restless.
