In the spring of March, everything revived. On such a bright spring day, Tang Shu packed his bags, and under the leadership of Qiu Aihua, he and several seniors boarded the train to Yun Province.

This was a field trip for Agricultural University graduate students. As a freshman undergraduate, Tang Shu was not eligible to participate, but he funded the team in the name of Shen Xiuyu, with the requirement that he could accompany the trip, and repeatedly asked

Qiu Aihua promised not to delay his studies.

Qiu Aihua originally intended to wait for Tang Shu to continue his graduate studies after he graduated from the undergraduate program. Now he is willing to follow the graduate students. As a tutor and mother-in-law, Qiu Aihua is of course happy to see it happen, and Tang Shu's performance in various subjects has always been

It's very stable, and the other teachers don't have any objections. After all, he is Professor Qiu's son-in-law, so he has to give him some face.

In this era when transportation is not yet developed, the main way for people across the country to travel is to climb a train. This is also the fundamental reason why the railway is nicknamed "The Iron Boss". Even though it is not a holiday, the trains to Yun Province are still used.

It was fully occupied by tourists.

Faced with such a crowded scene, Tang Shu meant to upgrade directly and go to the sleeper car to rest. Anyway, all the members of the entire inspection team combined were only eight people. The extra dozens of dollars in travel expenses were a big deal for Tang Shu.

Nothing.

Qiu Aihua glared at Tang Shu fiercely: "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that Xia Yan spent so much money on going to Hong Kong Island with you this time. It was you who instigated it. I don't have time to argue with you now.

Let's see how I deal with you when we get back to Ningcheng."

Tang Shu stuck out his tongue and did not dare to speak. The other six seniors sighed at the same time, carrying their luggage and following the long queue towards the hard-seat carriage where they were.

Although it is a good tradition to be diligent and frugal, who doesn’t want to be more comfortable during their journey?

A group of eight people struggled to get on the bus. Fortunately, the tickets were booked in advance. They all had seats together and did not need to sit separately. They were able to get together and chat and laugh along the way. It was not lonely, but the carriage was too crowded.

It was so messy that Tang Shu, who was used to sleeping in a soft sleeper private room, was not used to it. He could only stick his head out of the window from time to time and gasp for air under the guise of looking at the scenery.

Because of the seating relationship, the entire inspection group was divided into two groups. Qiu Aihua sat with the three most outstanding seniors, while Tang Shu was crowded with the other three. After a few hours of getting along, he had integrated into this small group.

As a group, taking advantage of the absence of a teacher, they took out two decks of playing cards from their pockets, and the four of them played and chatted to pass the time.

"Junior Tang Shu, your family's conditions are pretty good. I heard that your mother sponsored a thousand dollars this time."

"That's necessary." Another senior lowered his voice and glanced slightly at Qiu Aihua's position, "If the conditions are not qualified, even if Professor Qiu agrees, we senior brothers and sisters cannot let the junior sister follow him.

."

Tang Shu didn't mind everyone's harmless teasing. A thousand dollars sounded like a lot, but if he got something from his trip to Yun Province, the rewards he could get in the future would be many times more than what he paid for this.

.

The senior student sitting opposite Tang Shu snorted coldly: "Do you really think that all this money can be used on us? If the school doesn't take half of it, it will be regarded as a great favor."

"How do you say this? When she paid for it, didn't my mother make it clear that the money would be spent on this trip to Yun Province?" Tang Shu took the money to Qiu Aihua's office. Of course he knew what he had proposed in the first place.

Require.

"Junior, you have just entered your freshman year, and you still don't understand how deep the water is here." When this kind of thing was mentioned, everyone suddenly lost interest in playing cards. "Your mother sponsored a thousand yuan, and Professor Qiu wants to withdraw it."

, you have to go through the school finance department, isn’t this just peeling off a layer? Then you go to the courtyard and the department, and if you go all the way, five hundred yuan on our head is considered a lot."

"So cruel?" Tang Shu was a little skeptical. He had never studied for a graduate degree, so he had not done any research projects. However, he also knew that due to various domestic institutional problems, such a situation would occur, but it would not be so serious.

After a set of procedures, you can actually cut off half of it?

"Are you cruel? Isn't this a routine operation?" Someone sneered, "Do you know why Professor Qiu is still holding a deputy position? It's because she has a project in hand that has passed various data demonstrations, and we are also in the experimental field

We have come up with a successful experimental variety, and we are just at the last step. However, the research funds have been blocked by the higher authorities, which has resulted in everything we have done before falling short, and now we are still in a position of neither improving nor inferior. "

Without research results, how could Qiu Aihua's professional title be evaluated?

"Our country has just solved the problem of food and clothing. People in many places still don't have enough to eat. The things we are studying are too flashy and not the most basic means of living for the people, so we have put it aside for the time being. Damn, I know how to use these high-sounding things all day long.

They used excuses to frustrate us."

Tang Shu frowned: "Then what kind of crops are being studied in Professor Qiu's experimental field?"

"Watermelon, a large, sweet and seedless fine variety." Then, the senior who brought up this heavy topic sighed, "Actually, what is said above is correct. Watermelon is indeed not a basic consumable. Even if

It doesn’t matter if we can’t eat it, but the yields of crops such as rice, wheat, corn, and sorghum are directly related to the development of people’s livelihood. Compared with Professor Yuan of Hunan Province, we really have some unrealistic petty bourgeois sentiments.”

"Watermelon? This is a good thing."

Everyone was sighing that their research direction seemed to be a bit biased, but Tang Shu's eyes flashed with gold and he looked extremely excited.

As we all know, because the land area is too small, what several developed countries on the southeast coast lack are these fruits and vegetables that are popular in the domestic market. In Japan, watermelons are sold in grams, and even the watermelon rinds are not wasted.

Where are the ridiculously cheap watermelons in China? The price will skyrocket to an unexpected level.

"If Professor Qiu's research results can be mass-produced and then sold to Japan, South Korea, and Singapore through my mother's foreign trade company, wouldn't that be considered as allowing agricultural products to go abroad?"

You must know that watermelon is an agricultural product that ripens once a year. Compared with growing coffee and grapes, the operation of growing watermelon is much simpler. If you start looking for a place to sow seeds at this time, you will be able to harvest something this summer.

Thinking of this, Tang Shu suddenly had the urge to jump out of the car.

"Dear seniors, is the watermelon studied by Professor Qiu really ready for mass production?"

"That's for sure. We all tasted it last summer. It has thin skin, thick flesh and lots of juice. It's definitely much better than the melons on the market now."

Very good. Tang Shu still trusts her future mother-in-law's ability. She said that this variety is ready for mass production, which proves that she has all kinds of research data.

"Then let me... No, how about I ask my mother to inject funds into the research team. This can ensure that every penny is spent on this research, and even open up a large area of ​​experimental fields for planting."

"Really? That's great. This is the consciousness you should have as a rich second generation."

Everyone jumped for joy when they heard this, but the atmosphere quickly dimmed again, "It's useless to plant it. If no one buys it because the price is high, won't it all rot in the ground?"

Tang Shu suddenly slapped his chest: "You don't have to worry about the sales issue at all. Since I dare to ask my mother to invest money, it is impossible for this project to lose money. After all, my mother's money did not come from the strong wind."

"Yes, you are a very clever boy. At the end of last year, all the vegetables in the greenhouses in Xinmin Village were sold out in just two or three days. Now you can sell watermelons without any problem."

Tang Shu smiled confidently, "Of course there is no problem. In the past, he earned hard-earned money from the people in the country by selling vegetables. As a compatriot, he really couldn't bear to increase the price, but this time it was different. Faced with the old feud and the conflict between the American emperor and

Dog, if he doesn't bleed the enemy, he will be disgraced to the motherland and the people.
