Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Gu Zhan came home today, and Liu Xiaoxi prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Gu Zhan also ate very well and was very satisfied.

At the dinner table, Liu Xiaoxi hesitated for a long time before asking about Gu Zhan's work situation: "Did this trip go smoothly?"

At noon, Gu Zhan was in a bad mood, which must be due to the work this time. If Liu Xiaoxi didn't ask him, she would feel uneasy.

Gu Zhan had spent the entire afternoon in the laboratory and his mood had stabilized a lot. When his wife asked him about work, he thought about his attitude at noon and felt guilty.

However, Gu Zhan has always been the type to admit his mistakes and correct them in front of his wife. At this moment, he directly admitted his mistake: "Wife, I'm sorry. My attitude was not good today and made you worry."

Liu Xiaoxi smiled gently: "What are you talking about? We are a family."

"Yeah! My wife is right." After a pause, Gu Zhan organized his words and then talked about this trip: "This trip makes me feel guilty, really guilty."

Hearing Gu Zhan's words, Liu Xiaoxi became anxious. From her understanding of Gu Zhan over the years, she knew that Gu Zhan was a cautious person, even to the point of being a little conceited. The word "guilt" came out of his mouth for the first time.

It can be seen that what happened was not a small matter!

Liu Xiaoxi patted Gu Zhan's back gently and considerately, without saying a word, waiting patiently for him to continue.

"Dongxiang County's breeding industry was just starting out, but they encountered something like avian influenza. All 5,000 chickens in Lao Yang's chicken farm were culled. Lao Yang almost fainted. I had no idea how to save his chicken farm. The same thing happened in Xia County. They said I had forgotten my roots."

There were tears in Gu Zhan's eyes. Liu Xiaoxi felt uncomfortable and stretched out her arms to hug Gu Zhan from behind.

"Don't be sad, really, Gu Zhan. Now that we know the problem, we know where to start working hard, right? Next time, we'll learn from our mistakes, look before we act, and ask more questions. Just like you said, we should conduct scientific research with a problem-oriented approach. Believe me, we can eventually help our fellow villagers realize their dreams of getting rich."

Such comfort made Gu Zhan feel much better. He turned around, hugged his wife tightly, and felt the warmth from her body. Only then did he feel that his mood had completely recovered.

As for little Gu Xinxin, she is now an experienced child. As early as when her mother was holding her father, she went back to her room to play. The rest of the time belongs to her parents.

After clearing the dishes, Gu Zhan said to Liu Xiaoxi, "I'm going upstairs to look for Dean Qu. I'll be home later."

Hearing that Gu Zhan was going upstairs to find Dean Qu, Liu Xiaoxi was not worried and nodded slightly.

After finishing his meal, Qu Hongbo asked his wife Wang Hui, "Don't I have a bottle of good wine? Can you find it for me?"

When Wang Hui heard that her husband wanted to drink right after returning from a business trip, she was about to nag him for a few words, but unexpectedly, Qu Hongbo continued, "Come over later, Xiao Gu, and we will talk about things."

When Wang Hui heard it was Gu Zhan, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll find it for you right away."

Soon, the wine bottle and the wine glass were placed on the table.

"Would you like to prepare two dishes for you to drink with?" Wang Hui asked rarely.

Qu Hongbo naturally wouldn't refuse: "Oh, you're really generous today."

Wang Hui glared at her husband and said, "Am I being ungenerous? I'm just worried that you might get hurt if you drink too much."

As he said that, he went into the kitchen and started cleaning and washing the vegetables.

When Gu Zhan walked in, Wang Hui's cold dishes were already on the table.

However, Gu Zhan did not go up empty-handed. He brought up a bag of fruits that Liu Xiaoxi had bought in the afternoon.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Hui caught him and asked, "What are you bringing home, kid?"

I like this young man who understands the ways of the world even more.

"Come in and sit down!" Qu Hongbo also hurriedly greeted people.

Both of them had been busy all day, and even after dinner, the fatigue on their faces was obvious.

Gu Zhan greeted Qu Hongbo and his wife and sat on the stool opposite Qu Hongbo.

"Come, let's have a nice drink today. Your aunt heard that you were coming and even prepared two cold dishes to go with the wine."

Gu Zhan seldom drinks, and Qu Hongbo didn't force him. The two of them drank and chatted casually. When talking about this incident, Qu Hongbo also felt quite bothered.

However, this concern was a little late after all.

"Xiao Gu, do you think it's necessary to re-evaluate the research projects of all the teachers in the academy at this stage?"

This idea surprised Gu Zhan. He expected that Qu Hongbo might change his work ideas in the future, but he didn't expect that he would re-evaluate the scientific research projects of the entire college.

But this is actually a good thing. At least we can sort out these projects in detail and have a clear understanding of the expected effects of the projects, which will be beneficial to future work.

"This is feasible, but a one-size-fits-all approach is not recommended. After all, basic theoretical research and experimental research are both important supporting forces for the development of the industry."

"Well, I understand what you're saying. I just want to sort out the projects we have on hand. At this stage, we should shift our experimental research towards actual needs, or even towards future needs that we can't foresee. In short, our experimental results can't be shelved any longer."

"Dean's foresight."

Gu Zhan agreed with Qu Hongbo's idea and was happy to see such a direction.

Qu Hongbo's action was unprecedentedly decisive. He issued a notice at the college the next day. For a time, researchers at the Agricultural College who had projects on hand were talking about it, and there were also some ambiguous discussions.

In response to this, Qu Hongbo convened an emergency meeting in the afternoon. At the meeting, he shared this experience as a case with all the teachers, which made the subsequent work process much smoother.

While Qu Hongbo was still busy reorganizing these projects, Gu Zhan had already started studying drugs to treat avian influenza and chicken plague.

Now, for this kind of poultry epidemic disease, prevention is one aspect, and treatment is also an important aspect. It is an important means of protection when prevention cannot be achieved.

During this prevention and control work, Gu Zhan also gained a new understanding of avian influenza, especially the highly pathogenic avian influenza as it was later called, the characteristics of the disease, and the performance and physical characteristics of poultry at different stages after contracting the disease.

With clear data support, there will be clear goals for drug research in the subsequent work process.

When he returned to the laboratory, the first thing Gu Zhan did was to readjust his experimental ideas. He would start his research from the virus itself.
