Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 848: Enough Rice

Just two days later, Li Hu came to say goodbye to Chen Changan.

He found two cold-resistant rice plants near the automobile factory's breeding farm, which needed to be returned to the research institute for preservation.

By the way, I also explained to Mr. Yuan the issue of scientific research funding and the problem of taking the train.

Moreover, Li Hu attached great importance to Chen Changan's suggestion. He decided to start inspecting the imported rice from Southeast Asia after he returned.

“Director Chen, I really don’t know how to thank you. Our research institute cannot be compared with the automobile factory.

I have no money and no supplies. Even if I want to give you something, I have nothing to give you.

The few days I stayed in the guesthouse were the most comfortable days I have ever had in my life.

Eat well, sleep well. To be honest, I feel bad about it.”

"What's there to be sorry about? When I go to your place in the future, won't you entertain me?

We are all contributing to the country and the people. It's just that our automobile factory started early and is currently ahead.

I believe that as more and more special rice varieties are discovered, your hybrid rice will become better and better.”

The two men complimented each other for a few more words, and then Li Chenglin drove Li Hu to the train station.

Zhu Ling acted very quickly. After getting guidance from Chen Changan, Zhu Ling found the Sijiucheng Film Studio.

Today's film studios are basically in a semi-shutdown state.

They were very happy when they learned that the automobile factory TV station was planning to hire them to film a TV series.

They are in the film industry, but they can also make TV series.

Similarly, the name of the automobile factory’s TV station is also well-known.

Even people from their film studio would watch the car factory TV station.

The film studio naturally supports this kind of thing.

After both parties discussed it, they quickly reached an agreement on filming the TV series.

Due to the subject matter, there are no big scenes, so the investment is definitely not large.

Even the car factory can provide the location. It can be said that apart from the cost of filming, there is basically no other need to spend money.

The film studios did not dare to delay, as they were not the only ones without work.

Their film studio is only close because the location is good. Once other units get the news, it may not be their turn.

Both parties acted very quickly. Soon Zhu Ling returned home with the videotapes of two episodes of the TV series.

"We've only filmed these two episodes so far. You've finished watching them. What do you think?"

After dinner, Zhu Ling showed the videotape to Chen Changan.

After reading it, Chen Changan didn’t know how to describe it.

This is not a TV series, this is a model opera. It is quite different from what Chen Changan had in mind.

Although the current model operas are very popular, Chen Changan believes that it is not because the model operas themselves are so good, but because people have no choice but to watch the model operas.

Why is the Automobile Factory TV station still so popular even though it broadcasts movies from more than ten years ago?

However, it is not easy to tell outsiders about this kind of thing, but you can tell your own wife.

So after Chen Changan expressed his thoughts, what Chen Changan didn't expect was that Zhu Ling actually agreed with Chen Changan's idea.

“I think so too, since this TV series is about the lives of ordinary people.

Then we should stick closer to the real thing instead of deliberately performing something.

And the basic script also needs to be revised. I understand. I will ask them to revise it tomorrow.

We strive to make a TV series that can make people laugh, cry, and touch people’s hearts.”

Chen Changan suddenly felt that putting Zhu Ling in the position of TV station director was really better than being a dancer.

In the following days, Zhu Ling brought back another videotape. This time, after watching it, Chen Changan gave Zhu Ling a thumbs up.

“Comrade Zhu Ling, I think you have the potential to be a director.

I am considering whether to make a big-budget TV series after finishing this sitcom."

“What is the big-budget TV series?”

"For example, Dream of the Red Chamber, one of the four great classics. Do you think I can play Jia Baoyu with my image?"

After hearing what Chen Changan said, Zhu Ling burst into laughter.

"You? Jia Baoyu? Then what should I play? Xue Baochai?"

Chen Changan pretended to look Zhu Ling up and down and said.

"I think Lin Daiyu is not a bad choice."

“You’ll be blown away by how beautiful it is. This is one of the Four Great Classics, I dare not act recklessly.

I'd better just concentrate on acting in this sitcom first."

With the broadcast of the TV series "I Love My Family", just two episodes caused a sensation throughout the city.

Those who have a TV at home, after watching the TV series, will enthusiastically recommend it to their colleagues around them after work.

Those who didn't have a TV could only listen to the workers around them discussing the plot, but they couldn't join in and were scratching their heads for a while.

Those who came from well-off families gritted their teeth and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a TV.

All of a sudden, the supply and marketing cooperatives were out of stock of televisions.

Those whose family conditions are not good can only find a way out on their own.

The result was that more and more people gathered at the gate of the residential area.

Although the weather is getting colder day by day, it still can't stop people from watching TV.

One day in December, Chen Changan received a call.

"Chen Changan, I'm Li Hu, do you still remember me?"

"of course."

"I have good news to report to you. According to your suggestion, I have successfully found a restorer strain of rice among the rice introduced from Southeast Asia.

In this way, all the prerequisites for the three-line hybrid rice proposed by Mr. Yuan have been met.

Our institute is confident that we can complete the research tomorrow.

Whether it is increasing the research funding for our institute or the suggestions you put forward, it has been of great help to us.

Mr. Yuan is currently conducting research and asked me to thank you. If he has the chance, he will definitely go to Sijiu City to thank you in person."

"It's good that you found it. Just come and thank me in person. If you succeed, just send me a bag of rice.

Let me try this hybrid rice and see what it is like.”

"Don't worry, our institute doesn't have anything else, but we have enough rice."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Changan sighed in his heart, God really bless China.

Now that there is enough fertilizer, coupled with Yuan Lao's hybrid rice, the national grain output will increase significantly in the next few years. There will no longer be scenes of people starving to death.

In this way, time came to March 1973, 3, the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar.

Chen Changan, who got the news, hurriedly ran out of the automobile factory office.

The community hospital just called and said Zhu Ling is about to give birth.

At this time, Chen Changan didn't bother to call Li Chenglin anymore. He drove out of the car factory alone.
