    "It's still wrong!" The agricultural expert shook his head confidently, "The seedlings you have here do look different from what I have seen before. Instead, they look a bit like a new variety being studied by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Shen  Captain, do you mind if I pull one of your seedlings back and ask someone to study it?"

    Although this agricultural expert in the county does not have a high official position in the county government, he has a good background. He is a worker, peasant and soldier graduate of the Agricultural University. He once worked in a big city, but due to certain political issues, he was  I was transferred to this remote small county to work as an ordinary staff member, but my academic level is still there.

    Otherwise, how could you tell at a glance that this rice variety is different from the conventional one!

    Captain Shen also looked serious: "Are you serious? But this is really grown with the grain left over from last year in our warehouse. Could it be that the previous fire destroyed all the water and soil in our village?  Changed, grew a new variety on your own?¡±

    The agricultural expert laughed: "The ash produced in the fire will indeed increase the fertility of the land, but it will not cause mutations in the crop varieties. There must be other reasons, but I don't know if this is a new variety for the time being.  I¡¯m not sure, I¡¯ll wait until I dig one up and study it before I tell you!¡±

    Although he has been decentralized now, he is still thinking about his professional research. If a new drought-resistant variety with natural variation can be found this time, it will be a good thing that will benefit the country and the people, but he doesn't know how the yield will be.  , we must continue to follow up and observe.

    Although Captain Shen was a little distressed because this seedling would be able to produce a bowl of white rice when it grew up, he still went to the field to dig out a seedling with mud, picked a few large leaves, wrapped them, and gave them to  Agricultural experts from the county.

    After the county leaders returned, Cheng Likun knew that this matter could no longer be concealed. When he wrote letters to his classmates, including purchasing seeds and other operations, there was no cover-up, and he could find out with just a little research.

    So he took the initiative to explain to Captain Shen first: "Captain, there is something I want to tell you."

    "What's the matter? Tell me." Captain Shen has been very polite to him since the fire, and now he is even more polite with respect. Even Daya's mother doesn't dare to criticize Huai at home. Daya has ruined the house.  The only egg was cooked for him to eat, and he didn't dare to say anything.

    ¡°The rice seedlings in our brigade¡¯s fields are indeed new varieties.¡±

    "Ah? You think so too?" Captain Shen asked in surprise. In their minds, Cheng Likun, who graduated from the Agricultural University, is an agricultural expert and is more trustworthy than the agricultural experts from the county. Since he has said so, then  It must be true.

    "Then do you think it is because of the previous fire that the rice seeds in our village have changed?" I have only heard of the legend that the people in a village did good deeds, and the gods in the sky sent them high-yielding rice.  There is a legend that the whole village can have enough to eat through seeds. Who knew that such a good thing would happen to their Anji Brigade!

    But now we are not allowed to talk about those myths and legends. They say they are feudal superstitions and should be abandoned, so Captain Shen found a scientific-sounding reason to ask Cheng Likun.

    Cheng Likun smiled bitterly: "It's not the cause of the fire, it's that the seeds were changed."

    Captain Shen slapped the table and stood up: "Changing seeds, who is so bold as to do such a thing!" Suddenly he remembered that the man in front of him had asked Shen Tingsheng to tell him about changing to improved rice seeds. No  He asked suspiciously: "Is it you?"

    Cheng Likun nodded: "Yes, it's really me."

    Captain Shen pointed at Cheng Likun's nose: "You, you, you brat, you really have the guts!"

    Cheng Likun said: "Captain, you were unwilling to change the seeds before because you were afraid that they would not grow or that the yield would not be good. But now you have also seen that the survival rate of the rice grown by other production teams is less than half.  But our new type of seed has a survival rate of almost 100%!"

    Captain Shen snorted: "It may not be useful even if it survives, what if it's just an empty shell!"

    Cheng Likun looked like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water: "Then just wait. Anyway, it's too late to pull them all out and plant them again. In a few months, if there is really no harvest, I am willing to take responsibility."

    "Take responsibility? This is the responsibility that the entire brigade will starve to death. Can you afford it? Wait, let me think about it, this is wrong. You were still hospitalized at the time. You can definitely handle this matter alone.  If it doesn¡¯t work, tell me quickly, who is your accomplice?¡±

    "I can't say this. People are kind enough to help me. How can I??, Captain Shen was also speechless.

    I had no choice but to call on the members to continue to tighten their belts. Fortunately, there is water now to cook porridge, and it can be cooked even thinner. They drank a large pot of porridge with "clang, clink, clink" and only a few grains of rice were visible.  Water, at least it deceived my stomach for a while.

    The wild vegetables on the mountains have once again come into the view of the commune members. Wild vegetables are more tenacious than crops. They seem to disappear during droughts. But when the rain comes, they immediately grow all over the mountains and plains. Regardless of whether they are delicious or not, at least they provide food.  Give people a way to survive.

    At this time, someone remembered the konjac tofu that Xie Zhiqing in Shen Tingsheng¡¯s family once taught them to eat. When they went to the mountain to look for it, they dug out a lot of konjac and cooked it according to the method taught by Xie Zhiqing. It was also a delicious dish.

    In such a day full of hope, Shen Dazhuang suddenly brought a big surprise to Shen Tingsheng and the others.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
