I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 548 The biggest motivation to devote yourself to scientific research

The village head, Butug, is 65 years old. He has been raising cattle, horses and farming all his life. He is the most experienced herdsman and farmer in the village.

At this moment, Butug couldn't help being a little funny when he heard the young boy in the city in front of him actually say that he wanted to give advice on the agriculture in the village.

In such a small mountain village, the outside news is relatively closed, but he still knows something about Qin Ke. He knows that he is a young man who is very good at studying, has won many awards, and has been on the evening news broadcast of CC1. Such a child is better at farming than him, he doesn't believe it.

The other villagers thought the same way, but the young man in front of him was a great benefactor of the village, and he built the primary school and the road, and all the villagers knew how to be grateful. Listen to him with a serious look.

It's just that they are not good at cheating, and their disapproval can't be concealed in their expressions.

As soon as Qin Ke saw the expressions of the people, he guessed what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "Actually, Qingyun and I also have a plant cultivation laboratory, which specializes in researching new types of seeds, so we also have a good understanding of agriculture. If you I told me last night that 37% of the barren hillside land was used to grow soybeans, but the survival rate and fruiting rate are very low, and there is no economic value. Then I suggest that you replant these hillside lands. this."

Qin Ke took out a pack of seeds from his pocket: "This was only launched in the last six months, 'Lime Easy to Plant Type I Tomatoes', have you heard of it?"

The village chief and the villagers looked at each other and shook their heads.

Qin Ke knew that the news in such a small mountain village was relatively closed, and it was normal if he hadn't heard of it.He continued to smile and said: "Let me briefly introduce, this is one of the new seeds that Qingyun and I have researched together. It is most suitable for mountainous areas with poor land conditions. It basically does not need to fertilize and spray weeds. The yield is also good. Suitable The planting temperature in China is between 12 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius, and it will mature in about three months on average. If you grasp the timing well, it will not be a problem to plant two rounds a year. Tomatoes are high value-added crops and should be It can be sold for more money than the soybeans you originally planted. You can try planting them when the temperature rises above 12 degrees in spring.”

Coming to this small village again, Qin Ke not only re-established his determination to continue donating to education, but also deeply realized the significance of developing new seeds for himself and Ning Qingyun.

For example, in this small village, 37% of the land can barely grow soybeans, and each family earns less than a few hundred yuan for a year of hard work.

But if you change to "lime easy to grow type I tomatoes", then the annual income of about 10,000 yuan is not a problem.

This is of great benefit to changing the poverty and backwardness of a mountainous area. It can not only improve the living standards of the villagers, but also enable the children to have better opportunities to study and change the future in the future—otherwise, even if the Lime Education Foundation aided the construction The school will let the children finish elementary school and will support them until they finish university. They may still have to give up their studies because of the difficult conditions at home and go home to help with farm work.

Qin Ke explained the situation in detail, took out his mobile phone, and showed everyone photos of thank-you letters sent by farmers in the mountainous area, as well as planting data in the laboratory.

The village head and the villagers were surprised and delighted. They didn't understand anything else, but they understood the income increase of 10,000 yuan!
You must know that they used to be able to earn so much from farming with a single family in a year. It was only by young people working outside and sending money back that they could barely make ends meet!
"Can it really increase my income by nearly [-] yuan a year? Are these seeds expensive?" An uncle with dark skin and gray hair still finds it unbelievable. After all, the village has tried many so-called high-quality plant seeds, but the results are not It is very disappointing. Not only are the seeds expensive, but the survival rate is lower. The soybeans currently planted are the best varieties that can keep the hillside land from being abandoned.

Qin Ke understood the concerns of the villagers, and said with a smile: "The price of the seeds is about the same as that of ordinary tomato seeds, so it will not be expensive. And I make a promise at this time, the seeds in the first three years will be assisted by our Lime The foundation came to purchase and provide to the village. I have already prepared a whole box in the car, which is enough for each household to distribute six packs. At that time, everyone will adjust it according to the amount of land. If it is still not enough, please contact us Village officers, they will find a way to help you purchase."

Pack three years of seeds!It's worth trying!

Many villagers were moved. Butuge, the village head, thought that this was Qin Ke's kindness. No matter whether these seeds were really as good as Qin Ke said, since Qin Ke proposed it, the village had to implement it. He made a decision immediately, and said solemnly: "Okay, I will arrange it, and all the hillside land where soybeans were originally planted will be planted with this new type of tomato seeds."

Ning Qingyun who was next to him said: "Uncles, our seeds have been verified by the market and are provided free of charge. You can rest assured to plant them. We just hope that everyone's life can be better."

The girl's expression was serious and her tone was sincere. Suddenly, a different emotion surged in the hearts of all the villagers. Their noses felt sore, and their throats seemed to be blocked by something.

They didn't doubt Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's words at all, because the two sturdy and beautiful elementary school buildings have already been built more than half, and this winter, if it wasn't for the Lime Student Foundation, they hurriedly purchased a large number of cotton-padded quilts and electric blankets They also tried every possible means to send them to the village, fearing that many old people would not be able to survive the severe cold.

Facts speak louder than words. These two young boys and girls sincerely want to help them without asking for anything in return.

Butug, the village head, wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said, "Of course we believe in your proposal, but how can you provide it for free? You can just help us purchase it. How much money is needed? Let's collect together in the village..."

Qin Ke interrupted with a smile: "Village Chief, Qingyun and I came here more than two years ago. The world is so vast, and it is fate for us to be here, and since our Qingning Student Aid Foundation has decided to help the village Naturally, the money for these seeds is not bad for building roads in Lili. And after the roads are repaired, it will be easier for everyone to go out and sell the tomatoes they grow.”

The village chief wanted to speak again, and Qin Ke waved his hand: "That's it. As for whether to purchase by yourself after three years, it's up to you to decide. But I believe that based on the income of each family after three years, if you want to buy again These seeds have had no trouble."

"This... Thank you so much!" The village chief and the villagers were so excited that they couldn't even speak. Seeing that the cup in front of Qin Ke was empty, the village chief went to get the horse milk tea, and Qin Ke took it , got up to refill tea for all the elders present.

Qin Ke said softly again: "In addition, I have another suggestion. We will release overwintering wheat seeds in half a year. At that time, I will ask the officers of the foundation to bring some batches to each of your households for you to try planting."

The village chief asked in surprise: "You guys also researched this?"

"Yes, the patented technology process is already underway, and several seed industry companies have contacted us to authorize it, and it will definitely appear on the market in half a year."

Ning Qingyun added: "This kind of winter wheat is very resistant to cold, as long as it is not lower than minus 8 degrees Celsius, it can maintain a survival rate of more than [-]%, even if it is lower than minus [-] degrees Celsius, it can have a survival rate of about [-]%. In this way, your land will not be abandoned in winter, and it will not be a problem to replant spring wheat when spring comes. The winter wheat we have researched is compatible with spring wheat. The straw of winter wheat can be chopped to feed livestock, and can also be used Compost. Spring wheat also does not need to be fertilized, just use the compost of wheat straw and livestock manure for treatment.”

Looking at Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun who were seriously planning for them, the villagers were only deeply moved.

The village chief took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, we will follow Mr. Qin's orders."

"Thank you for trusting us." Qin Ke looked around at the excited and simple faces and said with a smile, "I hope we can see everyone living a good life when we come here next time."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun lived in the village for three days. With their enthusiasm and sincerity, they won the respect and love of the whole village.

They will play games with the children, tell them stories from books, and go to the mountains with the children to find wild fruits and build snowmen, and even explain the truth and life to the children.

The children are innocent and straightforward, without any contamination from the glitz and ugliness of the world. Whenever they see their smiles, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun feel that everything they do is worthwhile.

Such children should have the opportunity to change their destiny and live a better life.

And these little things have also become good memories in the hearts of the children, and they have also become the biggest motivation for the children to study hard in the future.

Seeing that the Spring Festival is less than three days away, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are also on their way home with the two officers of the foundation.

That day, all the villagers, men, women, old and young, came to see them off at the entrance of the village in the cold wind. They also brought several baskets of local specialties, as well as dried beef and mutton from various houses.

Ning Qingyun knew that these dried meats were the most valuable food for the villagers in winter, and many people were reluctant to slaughter sheep and cattle, so they relied on these dried meats as the best dishes in winter and even during the Spring Festival.She was about to decline, but Qin Ke accepted them all with a smile on his face, and shook hands with the villagers one by one to say goodbye, agreeing to visit again next year.

The car started slowly, and the children were reluctant to leave for a long time. They didn't know who took the lead, and all the children chased after the car, crying and shouting.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's eyes were red, and they waved their hands and shouted loudly for the children to go back.

In the end, it was that pretty little girl who stopped all the children in the village, and stood to salute from a distance.

——Originally, according to the rules of the old people in the village, the children were required to kneel and kowtow to their two great benefactors, but Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had taught the children that no matter boys or girls, there is gold under their knees, so they can only kneel Kneeling to kneel down to parents, you can no longer kneel down to other people, so the children changed to salute.

In the cold wind, dozens of children, big and small, in shabby clothes held their heads up and saluted the passing vehicles with tears in their eyes.

Ning Qingyun's tears fell down, and the car drove for a few kilometers before barely stopping her tears.

Qin Ke patiently wiped away the tears on her face.

Ning Qingyun asked in a low voice: "Qin Xiaoke, why did we accept the villagers' dried meat? Then their New Year's Eve dinner might not taste like meat."

Qin Kewen said: "Received favors but can't repay them. This will only leave psychological pressure on the kind and simple villagers. They can't feel at ease. Only when we accept the most precious gifts from them will they feel at ease. When we return to Yuanzhou, we can send them some special products of Yuanzhou as a return gift."

Only then did Ning Qingyun understand, and couldn't help but clenched Qin Ke's big hand, with a gentle and proud look in her misty eyes: "Well, I'll listen to you."

Fang Yongtang, the co-pilot in the car, was also shocked.

As the work assistant of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, she is quite aware of how much money these two young people have donated to the student foundation. There are many of them, not to mention the results.

Now the operation efficiency of the Lime Student Aid Foundation is very high. Almost most of the funds have been put into practical use, turned into teaching buildings and offices, and turned into a share of living allowances, book expenses and uniform cleaning for children in mountainous areas. school uniform.

Perhaps at this time, the Qingning Student Aid Foundation is still very weak, and the number of villages assisted is so insignificant compared to the huge number of mountain villages, but Fang Yongtang believes that every cent of goodwill and hope spread will be transformed into the progress of mankind. power.

What moved her the most was the equality and respect between Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. Qin Ke always positioned charity as assistance rather than grace, let alone charity.

"You two little bosses." Fang Yongtang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly said: "If you don't mind, I'll give my life to you all, is that okay?"

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were still immersed in the sadness of parting, but Qin Ke adjusted his emotions quickly. He blinked and smiled and said, "Sister Fang, you are your parents, your future husband and children in this life, we two I dare not accept it."

Fang Yongtang was amused: "Boss, I mean the career, not the whole life."

Namuhan who was driving also sighed: "Xiao Qin, Xiao Ning, you two are the best people I have ever met, and it is my honor to drive for you."

She hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Also, I also want to work for your Lime Student Foundation, is that okay? I follow you these days, and I think the foundation's work is very meaningful. I used to be a tour guide , I am very familiar with the hundreds of kilometers of the prairie, and I know where there are villages that need help."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun exchanged glances. The two had actually discussed the problem of manpower. The biggest problem of the foundation now is not the lack of money, but the lack of manpower, especially in the sparsely populated prairie, where every impoverished village Sending two officers can only carry out student aid work in four villages at the same time.

Namuhan’s personality is good, and he has a wide range of friends. He can help the foundation gain the trust of small villages and facilitate the development of preliminary work. A new model of human participation in student aid activities.

After the two exchanged opinions with their eyes, Qin Ke nodded and said: "I have no objection here, I will say hello to Sister Huo, and she will follow up the specific affairs, and she will also arrange personnel to communicate with the relevant training and precautions." You connect."

So the Lime Student Aid Foundation began to explore a new model in the prairie.

……

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun did not return to the capital, but flew directly back to their hometown, Yuanzhou City.

On the way, Qin Ke contacted Zhou Shutao, the general manager of Lime Technology, and asked him to start the patent technology negotiation of [-] new types of seeds in advance, and give priority to the large agricultural seed industry that has a pleasant cooperation.

The application process of these patented technologies is supported by Uncle Yang, and Secretary Lu greets them. It is inevitable to pass the review quickly. Qin Ke hopes to be listed and pushed to the market as soon as possible.

He is full of confidence in these new seeds, and he hopes that these seeds will benefit mankind sooner or later, help farmers increase their income and production, and enable more rural farmers in mountainous areas to live a better life sooner or later.

With the strength of two people, to promote the progress of human scientific and technological civilization, improve the quality of human life, and improve the mode of human life is the greatest motivation for him and Ning Qingyun to study hard and devote themselves to scientific research, and it is also the most fulfilling thing.
