After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Lan Xin and a few others were at the experimental field of Nanjing University. The area was very large, with lush green fields planted with various crops, most of which were already ripe and hung with colorful fruits, which was dazzling to the eye. It looked like a small farm.

Lan Fucai couldn't take his eyes off it. "What is this? It looks familiar to me..."

As a rural person, Lan Fucai can recognize most of the crops on the ground, but the crops planted in the experimental fields are somewhat different from those they planted in the village land.

They seem to be taller and more vigorous, and it is obvious that they are well-maintained, with plenty of nutrients, water and sunlight. It must have taken a lot of care and effort.

But despite putting in the same effort, the crops grown in their Lanjia Village did not grow as well. Could it be because the seeds were better?

Lan Fucai was even more excited after seeing this. He couldn't move away and couldn't help thinking, how great it would be if the fields in Lanjia Village also had these high-quality seeds.

"Uncle...Uncle, let's go visit Professor Gao first, otherwise it will be too late and delay the professor's work."

Lan Xin looked at Lan Fucai helplessly. She didn't expect Lan Fucai to love farming so much.

Lan Xin looked up and saw a field that was growing well. The crops were bent and loaded with fruits. Such well-growing crops looked so comfortable. Perhaps this was something that farmers could not refuse.

Lan Fucai also knew this truth. He nodded and left, looking back every few steps. His eyes were always on the fields around him, trying to identify their types, and then comparing them with the same kind of ordinary crops in the village.

While comparing, Lan Fucai couldn't help but sigh: "Lan Xin, you are right. These professors who study crops are really better than us old farmers who have worked in the fields for decades."

"Uncle, you're making a wrong comparison. Professors and their colleagues are studying how to iterate to produce better seeds with higher yields, fewer pests and more suitable for the planting environment, while you take these seeds and sow them to grow crops." Lan Xin said to Lan Fucai as they walked.

Lan Fucai also understood this principle: "I know that the seeds nowadays are getting better than those of previous years. In the past, only a few kilograms of rice could be grown per acre of land. Now, using the same method, we can grow 300 kilograms of rice per acre of land. This extra rice is purely due to the better seeds these professors have researched."

Speaking of Lan Fucai, he is sincerely grateful to these capable people.

"If there were no teachers to teach and research rice seeds, and we still had to use the old seeds, how much effort would it take to finish growing that little rice? After paying various fees, the remaining food would not be enough to last a year. We couldn't even afford a bowl of rice..."

Lan Fucai's words made Lan Xin and Li Jia silent. Li Jia was also from the countryside. She had put a lot of effort into getting into Nanjing University. She had also worked in the fields before, and her family had all been farmers for generations.

At this moment, I couldn't help but sigh: "That's right."

If the harvest was still the same as before, even if her family was willing to send her to school, they wouldn't be able to afford this money. How could she think about anything else when she can't even get enough to eat?

Lan Fucai patted his belly and laughed: "It's different now. Life is better now. I can eat white rice every day."

Of course, this is also because they have other sources of income, not just from the land. Even if they rely solely on the land, now one acre of land can produce so much more food, as long as they are willing to spend, they can still eat white rice.

At this time, several people came to a road sign and walked in one direction according to the instructions. As they walked, a long white "tent" suddenly appeared in the originally vast field.

"Is this the shed you mentioned?"

Lan Fucai was not stupid either. Looking at the tent that suddenly popped up on the ground, he immediately thought of the purpose of their visit. He looked at Lan Xin with crystal eyes and asked.

Lan Xin's answer brought a smile to Lan Fucai's face.

“Yes, this is the greenhouse.”

"So this is what Dapeng looks like. I thought it was the same as the house." Lan Fucai sighed.

"Is this greenhouse cultivation? Those vegetables are grown in this tent?" Li Jia is not an agricultural student, so this is the first time he has seen these greenhouses, and his eyes are shining with curiosity.

He couldn't help but think that if these tents were used to cover the ground, they could really protect the vegetables underground from wind, rain and snow, making it easier for the vegetables to grow.

Li Jia's home is not in Gan Province, but in a city further north, where it snows in winter. Not only is the land frozen hard, but every time a snow or frost falls, the vegetables on the ground will melt.

If his family had built such a greenhouse, wouldn't their winter be much better? During the three or four months of winter, they could continue to grow crops and not leave the land uncultivated?

Originally, Li Jia just wanted to accompany Lan Xin to help, but now when he saw the vegetable greenhouse, he was also excited. His eyes were filled with a strong desire for knowledge. He wanted to study hard and help his family.

"Who are you guys? How did you get here?"

There were also quite a few Nanjing University students studying in the fields. When they saw Lan Xin and the other students who were obviously strangers, they couldn't help but ask them, thinking that they were parents who had taken the wrong path.

After learning that Lan Xin and her friends were looking for Professor Gao Hexiu, she kindly showed them the way and told them that Professor Gao was teaching over there.

The three of them continued walking along the path indicated, and soon saw a group of people walking out of a vegetable greenhouse.

Through the opened door curtain, you can also see the neatly piled land in the vegetable greenhouse and the lush green vegetables growing in the land.

First looking at the group of people, there were four who looked like students in their twenties. Both men and women had simple faces. They seemed to be holding a notebook in their hands and writing something down. They were really listening to what the teacher in the lead was saying.

Lan Xin and her group of strangers walked over here and immediately attracted their attention. Professor Gao, who was talking, also turned around and looked at them.

Lan Xin immediately shouted, "Hello, is this Professor Gao Hexiu? I am Lan Xin from Lanjia Village, and I am specifically looking for Professor Gao to ask a question."

Lan Xin did not play the guessing game. As soon as they met, he immediately took her out of the house in a friendly manner and told her his purpose.

Hearing Lan Xin's words, Gao Hexiu's expression immediately softened. It seemed that he was also thinking of Lan Xin, with whom he had corresponded.

Lan Xin also told him in the letter that she would come to Nanjing University to learn more about the matter with him. Gao Xiu and Xiu were originally wondering when Lan Xin and the others would come, but they did not expect that they would show up so soon.
