Chapter 29
Zhao Tingting said in surprise: "Aunt Lan's legs and feet are not very convenient, so--"
Tian Xiaohui quickly explained, "I didn't let her do it, but she insisted on doing it. She also said that she wanted to help Su Zhiqing for no other reason."
Tian Xiaohui spread her hands, "She's already said that, what else can I say? It's not for me, so I can't stop her."
Zhao Tingting laughed and said, "Qianxi, why are you so lovable?"
Su Qian frowned slightly, Aunt Lan was a little too nice to her.
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
What does Aunt Lan want from her?
No, I should say, what does Uncle Liao want from her?
Uncle Liao could tell at a glance that she had been taken advantage of, and there was no doubt that there was something about her. Susie was only worried that he would plot against her like her adoptive parents.
Susie pretended to be worried and went back to the house. She dug out two letters she had written and said, "I'll go to the team and post these letters."
Zhao Tingting and Tian Xiaohui said in unison, "Let's go together!"
At noon, only the scribe Xu Zhiqiang was in the team, and he was writing something on the table.
Xu Zhiqiang looked up and saw that several people were holding envelopes in their hands, "Are you sending letters?"
"Then just put it in the mailbox outside."
Susie smiled at him and said, "Do you have any glue here?"
She always felt that it was not safe to stick her envelopes with rice balls. The letter to Su Yu was too important to let anything go wrong.
"Glue? I'm looking for it." Xu Zhiqiang opened the drawer and took out a jar of glue in a glass bottle. There was no label. He probably boiled it himself.
Su Qian carefully glued the envelope with paste, affixed an eight-cent stamp, and put it into the mailbox. She asked Xu Zhiqiang again, "Um, Brother Xu, are there any waste newspapers in the team? Our room is too dirty.
I want to get some newspapers to paste on the wall."
Xu Zhiqiang stood up and said, "I'll look for it for you. There should be some left."
He opened a wooden cabinet that was about to fall apart, took out a stack of newspapers and handed them to Susie, "That's all. Although newspapers are delivered every day, members often come to ask for these waste newspapers, so we can't save them."
Tian Xiaohui asked casually, "What do you want newspapers for, but also wall coverings?"
Xu Zhiqiang moved his mouth and held back three words for a long time, "Wipe your butt."
Susie and the others started laughing.
Xu Zhiqiang was a little embarrassed, but he still explained, "Really, this newspaper is quite useful after you rub it. It's much better than straw paper."
Susie suddenly had a picture in her mind. She couldn't help it anymore and squatted on the ground laughing.
Xu Zhiqiang is such an interesting person. If you ask him anything, he will tell you what he said without any hesitation.
After laughing for a while, Su Qian thanked Xu Zhiqiang and returned to the collective household with the glued newspaper.
Several people closed the door, and the three of them worked together to quickly cover up the exquisite mother-of-pearl pattern on the wardrobe.
There were two newspapers left, so Susie pasted them on the screen.
Halfway through the conversation, her movements suddenly stopped.
A line of text in the newspaper caught her attention, and she read it carefully. The title was, The Third National Hybrid Rice Cooperation Conference was held in Huayang City, Hunan Province.
Susie quickly read a report of several hundred words carefully.
Most of them are clichés, but there is also some useful information in these clichés. Hybrid rice has been researched for a long time, and experiments have already begun in several provinces.
The hybrid rice seeds successfully cultivated in Qiong Province were tested in a place in Hunan Province this year, and the yield per mu of the experimental field reached more than 600 kilograms!
Isn’t that more than a thousand kilograms?
This output will be very high in later generations.
Susie suddenly had an idea. If hybrid rice seeds could be planted here, wouldn't the production team's grain output be doubled or even tripled?
Then can she share more rice so that she doesn’t have to eat sweet potato rice and cornstarch rice every day?
She could still eat the corn rice, but she really felt like vomiting after eating the sweet potato rice. She had a hard time swallowing every time she ate.
Su Qian's eyes lit up. Could she write to the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences and ask them for hybrid rice seeds?
Although hybrid rice will be promoted across the country sooner or later, if you plant it one day earlier, you can enjoy the dividends earlier.
Just do it, Susie immediately took out a pen and paper, sat at the table and started writing a letter.
The letter emphasized that the Yangjiao production team had little land resources, low yield per mu, and the people did not have enough to eat. They urgently needed hybrid rice seeds to change the current situation.
Susie wrote the letter on impulse and put it in the envelope.
Su Qian didn't know the postal code of Hunan Province, so she didn't fill it in. She just wrote the address, Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
She was not sure whether the letter could be delivered. When it was time to leave for work in the afternoon, Susie went around to the brigade headquarters and put the letter into the mailbox.
Then Zhao Tingting and I continued to go up the mountain to pick up rice ears.
At the end of the day, Zhao Tingting and Su Qian ran to Xu Zhiqiang's place to take a look. Xu Zhiqiang recorded five work points for both of them.
Su Qian knew that this was good enough. She asked Chen Changqing that when they first came here, none of them knew how to work, and the male educated youth only had five work points a day.
Su Qian guessed that maybe it was because she looked so damn like Xu Zhiqiang, and she looked friendly, so Xu Zhiqiang treated her favorably.
Susie glanced at the name of the tree above, which also had five work points.
Susie thought something was wrong. They had been working for a whole day, but Qiao Mu had only been working for half a day.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Zhiqiang said: "I really admire the educated youth Qiao Mu you guys came with this time."
"He repaired such a tattered sickle."
"I don't think he can cut the grain this afternoon. I don't think he can do it at first. His movements are very unfamiliar, but soon he will be able to catch up with the female co-workers in cutting the grain."
"This man is a talent."
Susie also noticed today that there seemed to be something she couldn't do. Qiao Mu took a look and thought about it, and he knew it.
This talent is too terrifying, his hands-on ability is strong, and his IQ is not unusually high.
Several people were walking and talking when they met an old lady.
The old lady looked to be in her sixties, with her hair tied back and neatly untidy.
Wearing an old-fashioned blue cloth gown and wrapping his little feet, he walked on the rugged mountain road with flying strides.
Xu Zhiqiang shouted, "Mom, where are you going?"
The old lady raised her head and said, "I'll go to your Aunt Zhang's house to get something."
Her eyes suddenly focused on Susie's face, and Susie was also looking at her.
Susie only felt that although the old lady's face had gone through many changes, it somehow looked a bit like hers.
