With the sound of firecrackers, Tieshan Bay bid farewell to the old year and ushered in a new year.

In mid-February, the Spring Festival just passed, the spring was chilly, and the lively atmosphere in the first lunar month had not yet dissipated. There were already people in the backyard of Li’s family busy growing rice.

In the carefully improved greenhouse, Li Shaoan and Qian Xiaoyu, the youngest son of the Qian family, stood.

"Brother Shaoan, in the past, everyone raised seedlings in early March, and you started growing seedlings in mid-year. Can you succeed?"

"I have been postponed for several days, considering that our Tieshan Bay is located in a mountainous area and the temperature is lower than that in plains and hilly areas." Li Shaoan was confident and said: "Now, when the seedlings grow, it is time to sow."

Qian Xiaoyu was even more puzzled and confused, and asked, "Don't this rice be planted in April, but is it harvested in August? Brother Shaoan, are you planning to plant the seedlings in March? It's cold and the water is cold, how can the seedlings survive?"

Li Shaoan's lips curled up slightly and nodded, "That's right, I'm just going to plant seedlings in March, so that I can plant rice in the morning and evening in a year, and the utilization rate of farmland will increase exponentially."

Qian Xiaoyu's eyes were staring, looking at Li Shaoan as if he was looking at his idol, "Brother Shaoan, I really admire you so much. He actually thought of planting two seasons of rice in our Tieshan Bay! Just based on the conditions in our mountains, can two seasons of rice be grown?"

This is not the first time Qian Xiaoyu heard of two-season rice. In the plains outside, the farmers in the village planted two-season rice. But when they arrived in Tieshan Bay, this matter would not work, because the mountain temperature was low and the rice grew for a short time.

Some people have tried Tieshan Bay before, but early rice did not grow well in the whole season, and the harvest was quite bleak. Qian Xiaoyu was more or less worried.

"Our village is located in six areas in the middle and temperature. From the perspective of dimensions and temperature, it is in a subtropical area of ​​medium and low latitudes. It is suitable for planting two-season rice. The only disadvantage is that it is located in the mountainous area." Li Shaoan changed his tone and smiled: "However, with hybrid rice, this little temperature difference is not a problem at all. Hybrid rice has huge advantages over ordinary rice in terms of drought, cold, waterlogging and insect resistance."

"But I heard that people will become fools after eating hybrid rice." Qian Xiaoyu asked a question that made Li Shaoan vomit blood.

"Who did you hear..."

"The elderly in the village say this, saying that it has changed nature. Eating things artificially can make people sick after eating them for a long time."

Li Shaoan suddenly felt that he didn't know what to say. At that time, people's education level was not very high, so he was skeptical about these new science and technology and was unwilling to believe it, so he had many misunderstandings.

In order to dispel Qian Xiaoyu's concerns, Li Shaoan explained seriously: "Remember, whether it is animals or plants, hybridization is a very common phenomenon. If there are too many hybrid phenomena in nature, mules are hybrids of horses and donkeys."

Qian Xiaoyu whispered: "Hybrid varieties are just hybrids?"

"Yes... you can understand it so." Li Shaoan felt a headache, put his palm on his forehead, and nodded silently, "To put it simply, it is to concentrate the advantages of the two things together and then create a new thing. Do you understand what this means?"

Qian Xiaoyu nodded and said, "It seems that he has understood a little. No wonder the mule is stronger than the donkey and has stronger durability than the horse. It turns out that it combines the advantages of both."

Li Shaoan said with gratitude: "You are smart, so the principle of hybrid rice is the same. It combines the characteristics of many excellent rice and then cultivates new rice seeds with higher performance."

"That's right, famous teachers produce high disciples, and you can learn a lot of knowledge with Shaoan Ge." Qian Xiaoyu did not forget to flatter him.

Li Shaoan was busy working in the greenhouse, and Qian Xiaoyu was always following him. Zhang Hong brought Qian Xiaoyu and Qian Xiaolin to farm. He knew some local methods of farming. Seeing Li Shaoan's method, he felt it was novel, so he wanted to learn a few things.

Soak the rice seedlings in water and put them on the plate. Turn on the incandescent lamp in the greenhouse to maintain a higher temperature than the outside. Everything is done properly and just wait for the seedlings to grow out.

Li Shaoan clapped his hands and said that he had finished work. "Fifteen days later, when the seedlings grow to three or five inches, they will start planting the fields."

Qian Xiaoyu was puzzled again, "Brother Shaoan, don't you have to raise seedlings in the seedling fields?"

Li Shaoan laughed and said, "My greenhouse is a seedling field. After these seedlings grow, they will raise seedlings here."

The method passed down from generation to generation is that after the seedlings come out, they must be planted in the seedling fields and cultivated. When they grow to the level where they can be transplanted, they will then be planted separately. Qian Xiaoyu used to farm according to this method. He heard Li Shaoan say that he didn't even need to eat rice, which made him even more incredible. He was full of hope for what Li Shaoan could plant rice.

The two walked out of the greenhouse one by one. Not long after they arrived outside, they heard someone crying in the main hall.

But from that voice, Li Shaoan already knew that the crying person was his third sister-in-law Ma Hui.

"Brother Shaoan, it seems that someone is crying outside. Let's go and have a look?"

"Walk."

Li Shaoan felt bored when he heard the sharp voice, like a crow calling, and there was nothing good.

When I arrived at the main hall, I saw Ma Hui sitting on the ground, holding a handkerchief in my hand, constantly wiping the corners of my eyes. In fact, I didn’t have any tears at all, I was just doing it.

"Brother, you have to make the decision for me!"

Tan Hongxia was on the side trying to pull Ma Hui up from the ground. After all, even the youngest son of the Qian family was present. He made this look in front of outsiders, rolling on the ground and making trouble. It was really ugly.

"Get up and talk, and tell my elder brother and sister-in-law if there is anything wrong. If Shaomin dares to bully you, your elder brother will definitely teach you a lesson."

"I can't get up unless my elder brother promises me, otherwise I won't get up."

Ma Hui twisted her body, no matter how Tan Hongxia pulled her, she refused to get up and played a scoundrel on the ground.

Li Shaoguo is a person who wants face. When he saw his sister-in-law's appearance, he felt very embarrassed. He didn't want to continue to be embarrassed when he saw her, so he had to agree: "Get up quickly, my brother will definitely make the decision for you."

After receiving Li Shaoguo's reply, Ma Hui stood up from the ground and continued to cry, "I, Ma Hui, married Li Shaomin, have worked hard for so many years without any contributions. Others say that I am petty and petty, but it's not just to make this family live a better life."

"But, Li Shaomin actually hid his private money on my back and took the money to gamble with the second-rate people in the village. I persuaded him kindly, but he scolded me, wuwu..."

Li Shaoguo's face turned pale. When he heard his younger brother Li Shaomin go gamble again, he tried hard to suppress his anger.

Li Shaomin has always been unemployed, idle, never finds a regular businessman, and has a bad habit of gambling. However, when it comes to gambling, nine out of ten gambling lost, and Li Shaomin has no extraordinary skills, so he naturally loses more than he wins less, and he will give out all the money in his hand.

For gambling, Li Shaomin once secretly took Li Shaoguo's living expenses to send to Li Shaoan at the gambling table and lost all of them. Li Shaoguo was so angry that he found Li Shaomin's home with a hatchet and threatened to cut off Li Shaomin's hand.

At that time, Li Shaomin's attitude was extremely sincere, and Ma Hui and Jia Jia cried and pleaded with mercy. They swear in front of the whole family, and said it heartily that this matter was considered to be the past.

Later, Li Shaomin was hard to quit gambling, and occasionally he would play a few tricks. Li Shaoguo turned a blind eye to this, as long as it was not out of line. After all, he, the elder brother, loved his brother very much, so how could he really cut off his third brother's hand?
