Chapter 21 Rice

As soon as Jiang Yue’s voice fell, the captain who had been silent in front of him asked Si Ningning:

“Where did you see that three crops of rice can be grown in the south?”

Luo Daqing is a true southerner. He has been farming all his life. The common people are exhausted from farming every year. He has never heard of a place that can grow the third season of rice in a hurry.

Luo Daqing didn't have any ill intentions, he was just curious, but to Jiang Yue's ears, this sentence was so pleasant that it was like Luo Daqing slapping Si Ningning in the face in public.

Jiang Yue was secretly happy for a while, but before she could step forward to laugh, Si Ningning spoke again:

"I used to like reading books, and this is what is written in the book: 'The Yangtze River Basin is located in the subtropical zone, and rice can be harvested twice a year; north of the Yangtze River, with high latitudes, rice can only be harvested once a year. Hainan Island is located in the tropics and has sufficient heat, so Rice production can be achieved three times a year.'"

Luo Daqing nodded and said "hmm". In fact, he had never heard of Hainan Island, but Si Ningning's first two sentences about the south and north of the Yangtze River were pretty good.

 Luo Daqing is not sure whether there is really a place called "Hainan Island" that can grow three-crop rice, but at least one thing is certain.

That means Si Ningning really has a certain understanding of this aspect.

Jiang Yue thought that this matter would develop further, but she didn't expect that after Luo Daqing said "hmm", there would be nothing more to say.

Jiang Yue was unwilling to see Si Ningning embarrassed, and sneered and deliberately stepped forward to sarcastically say:

“Have you ever been to Hainan Island? You are so confident that what you said is clear and logical. Who knows whether what you said is true or false.”

Everyone just walked along the road and chatted when they felt bored. Not many people cared about whether Hainan Island can grow three-crop rice.

But when Jiang Yue said these words, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, it's a bit embarrassing.

“In the summer of 1970, Teacher Yuan successfully researched and successfully experimented with growing third-season rice on Hainan Island. In the same year, the results were published in major city dailies.”

Si Ningning looked at Jiang Yue, unable to say anything, and was silent, saying rather helplessly:

"This happened two years ago. Even if you don't read books or newspapers, you should have heard about it." Although in later generations, the cultivation of three-crop rice in Hainan did not receive large-scale support because it required huge manpower and economic support. Promotion, but in this era when most people do not have enough to eat, this achievement is also a milestone of this era and is remembered by the vast majority of people.

Jiang Yue opened her mouth.

Don’t read books? Not reading the newspaper would drive her down to her very core.

Song Shuhan, a male educated youth, said:

“It seems like something like this happened. I was in the first grade of junior high school at that time, and the school teacher even mentioned this matter, but we had never farmed before..."

Song Shuhan is the whitest among the male educated youths. He is elegant and elegant, with round glasses on the bridge of his nose. He has a bit of the bookish air of the literati during the Republic of China.

As he spoke, he smiled sheepishly:

“I just didn’t listen very carefully.”

Other educated youths followed suit and joked, "Haha, you have to remember this time, it's not the teacher who teaches you now, it's the Si educated youth!"

Song Shuhan glanced at Si Ningning, touched the back of his head and nodded sheepishly.

Si Ningning was not someone who couldn't take a joke. The atmosphere was good, so she didn't say much. She raised her fingers, rubbed her knuckles against her nose, and laughed with everyone.

Jiang Yue snorted coldly, her face extremely expressionless. It was superfluous to say anything else at this time, so she simply shut up and kept silent.
