Chapter 142: How Lucky Was He?
As soon as these words fell, everyone turned their attention to Su Dye again.
Seeing her come all the way here with a big belly and hard work, the villagers were moved beyond words.
And Su Ranran, who was facing the burning eyes of everyone, had a bad premonition.
Sure enough—
"Comrade Su Ranran, you are really our great benefactor of Pingzhou Island!"
Not only have they been able to eat vegetables, but now they have been given rice seeds that can be grown in the sand.
Who can not be moved by such a selfless spirit?
"Comrade Su Ranran, you are amazing!"
I heard that she is self-taught, and she has made such great achievements in a short period of time.
How can one not admire this?
And Su Ranran, who was grateful and admired by everyone, had mixed feelings in her heart, glanced at Chen Liangxue, who was still a little frightened, paused, and said.
"I was just lucky to stand on the shoulders of giants, only to sum up a little experience, the real great thing is those who know the bumpy road ahead, but still groping their way forward in failure after failure, are those who are obviously not understood, but still do not give up..."
Hearing this, everyone reflexively looked at Chen Liangxue.
I think he continues to do his research without being understood. Not only digging the ground by themselves, but also manure themselves, and even digging their own aqueducts. The villagers were silent, and there was a burning pain on their faces.
Su Ranran's gaze swept over the people present one by one, and finally raised his voice again.
"Scientific research is never a simple matter, and we should give them a little more understanding and tolerance."
As soon as these words fell, Chen Liangxue's vision was completely blurred.
He didn't think he cared.
But after someone really spoke for him, his heart was still sour.
recalled the grievances of being transferred to the island even though he had made progress in rice research.
When I thought about my application to research rice, I was rejected and ridiculed again and again.
In the end, Chen Liangxue's gaze fell on the figure with a straight back.
Suddenly, he felt that all his efforts were worth it.
Because, on the road of scientific research, he is not alone.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Chen Liangxue, I was wrong before."
The captain blushed and apologized to him.
He took it for granted that it was impossible for the island to grow live rice, and he also thought that Chen Liangxue was wasting time and wasting the resources of the team.
But today, he took the tillered rice and slapped him in the face.
It turns out that what seems fantastical to him is not unachievable.
Rice can be grown on the island!
"I'm sorry, Comrade Chen Liangxue, I also misunderstood you."
There are people who are not used to seeing him receive a salary before, but they are not as good as Su Ranran, and they are also ashamed in their hearts.
The original scene of shouting and arresting people suddenly turned into a meeting to admit mistakes.
The faces of the military wives gradually improved.
It didn't take long for the two parties to discuss how to protect the dozen or so rice trees.
After all, this is rice grown in the sand.
It shows that these dozen or so rice trees are salinity-tolerant, and one grain of rice can cultivate one rice.
The thought that rice can be grown on the island in the future makes everyone not calm.
In the end, it was finalized by the captain, and the militia in the team was guarded in 24-hour shifts.
Except for Chen Liangxue and Su Dyeing, no one is allowed to touch the rice in the rice field, including but not limited to secretly fertilizing, watering, and weeding.
After the discussion, the military wives had time to carefully look at the rice in the field.
Of the dozen or so living rice plants, only a few grew extremely strong, and although the others were also tillered, they were obviously not in such good condition.
Everyone stared at the sturdy rice trees, all of which were as bright as light bulbs.
It's as if it's not rice, it's a rare treasure.
……
Within a few days, the news of the rice planting on Pingzhou Island spread throughout the island.
For a moment, the whole island was boiling.
Even reporters came to the door to interview.
Su Ranran, who had long known that the news would not be able to be covered, had already told Shen He in advance.
And Shen He also acted quickly.
After the militia guarded for a day, the troops directly took over the dozen or so rice plants.
No one can get close to the rice field without permission.
The island residents who were late to go couldn't help beating their chests one by one.
When they couldn't see the rice, they had to ask those who had seen it.
And the island residents who went to the rice fields that day were all confused.
Although they knew that this thing was very important, they could not imagine that the rice had alarmed the troops, and the soldiers were put on guard near the rice fields twenty-four hours a day.
When I thought that they were the only people who had seen saline-alkali rice, they were all proud.
"Is that still fake? It's good-looking, it's green. ”
"Better than all the rice I've seen on land before."
The main thing is a self-owned thing, which is good.
The others did not doubt their words at all, after all, what kind of simple thing could rice grow on the sand?
For a time, the center of conversation of the entire island people was focused on the dozen or so rice trees.
And Chen Liangxue, who grew rice, was inevitably said by everyone over and over again.
When everyone knew that he was originally studying rice, he still didn't give up when he came here, digging the ground by himself, digging his own canals to plant secretly, secretly researching, and finally planting more than a dozen rice trees, everyone was moved.
Chen Liangxue, who has been on Pingzhou Island for several years, understood the enthusiasm of the island people for the first time.
Every day, when he goes out, he is greeted with a warm smile, and when he comes back, he will inevitably be stuffed with all kinds of things in his hands.
He never thought that one day, he would be loved by so many people, and the turmoil in Chen Liangxue's heart could no longer be described in words.
But he also knew that the reason why he was able to grow live rice so quickly was inseparable from Su Ranran's help.
If she hadn't provided herself with the selected rice, and if she hadn't unreservedly discussed her experience with herself, she would not have been able to grow it so quickly.
Although Chen Liangxue is simple-minded, he is a person who knows gratitude.
Not only did he put the credit on Su Dye every time he was praised, but he also went all out in the next cultivation work.
Every day, he runs at both ends of the army and Hanshui Village.
It's just a pity that the rice in the army was wiped out in the end.
Looking at the rice that was all withered and yellow, Chen Liangxue was a little uncomfortable.
If it weren't for him, the first person to grow rice would have been Su Dye.
Although she has not succeeded now, Chen Liangxue does not doubt that Su Ran Ran will be able to grow saline-alkali rice sooner or later with the excellent rice varieties she has selected herself.
This glory should have belonged to her.
It's not like now, obviously he has pushed the credit back to her, but everyone only remembers that it was he Chen Liang who learned to grow saline-alkali rice.
But Su Ran didn't regret it, not only that, but she even comforted Chen Liangxue.
"Comrade Chen Liangxue, we are all for the future of the country, and it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes last. The important thing is, we succeeded! Our country has saline-alkali rice! From now on, rice can be grown on islands and even in the saline lands of the frontier! ”
They can greatly increase food production and feed more people.
That's enough!
Chen Liangxue's vision blurred again.
He thought that he would probably never forget such a person and such words for the rest of his life.
And Shen He, who was accompanying Su Ranran's side, felt like he had been struck in his heart.
The people beside her, their eyes were shining, and in her eyes they seemed to be able to see the prosperous world she had described.
Those are so bright that people can't take their eyes off them at all.
Shen He couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.
How lucky was he? I was able to be with her.
