Chapter 138 Renewal and Rejuvenation Usher in the Dawn
Tree renovation brings new life and welcomes the dawn.
Su Yunlan frowned slightly. The effect of the medicine was only a temporary measure and could not cure the disease of the fruit trees.
This is like trying to block a flood with a dam; it's only a temporary solution, and eventually the dam will collapse.
She must find a more effective way to completely solve the fruit tree problem.
Xiao Yuhan took in her worries, comforted her by holding her hand and gently stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips, giving her silent encouragement.
“Yunlan, you have done very well. There is no need to demand perfection. Perhaps we can change our approach and start with the fruit trees themselves, improve the varieties, and enhance their disease resistance.”
Xiao Yuhan's words enlightened Su Yunlan. Yes, instead of passively fighting against diseases, it is better to actively improve the resistance of fruit trees.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling with hope, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
It's like forging armor for soldiers; instead of constantly patching up damaged armor, it's better to forge stronger armor to protect soldiers from harm.
A bold idea took shape in Su Yunlan's mind: she decided to improve the fruit trees.
She explained her plan in detail to everyone, including a series of methods such as grafting and hybridization.
"This...this is simply wishful thinking!" Researcher Zhao couldn't help but question Su Yunlan's plan after hearing it, his tone tinged with contempt. "Madam Su, fruit tree improvement is no child's play. It requires years of experience and a large amount of experimental data. You...you probably don't have that ability."
Researcher Zhao's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the hopes that had just been rekindled in everyone's hearts.
The fruit farmers' initial joy gradually faded. Although they believed in Su Yunlan's abilities, Researcher Zhao's words made them doubt.
Su Yunlan was not defeated by Researcher Zhao's doubts; instead, she became even more determined in her beliefs.
She stared intently at Researcher Zhao and said firmly, "Researcher Zhao, I know that fruit tree improvement is not an easy task. I am not just talking theory; I have my own methods..." Su Yunlan paused deliberately, took out a thick booklet from her sleeve, and waved it gently in front of Researcher Zhao.
"What is this?" Researcher Zhao asked in confusion, his eyes fixed on the booklet in Su Yunlan's hand.
Before Su Yunlan could speak, Young Master Xiao stepped forward from behind, placing several thick booklets on the table. He added, "These are materials I've collected and compiled over the past few days regarding fruit tree planting and improvement. Perhaps they can be helpful to you, sister-in-law." He opened one of the booklets, pointing to the dense text and illustrations, and began to speak eloquently, "I've discovered that different varieties of fruit trees have subtle differences in their root systems, branches, and leaves. These differences may be the key to improvement..."
Young Master Xiao's words sparked a flash of inspiration in Su Yunlan's mind.
She seemed to have grasped some key information, but couldn't quite articulate it clearly.
She lowered her head in thought, her fingers unconsciously tapping the table, making a soft "thump-thump" sound.
Everything around her seemed to disappear, leaving only her and the fruit trees, communicating silently.
Sunlight streamed through the window lattice, bathing Su Yunlan in a golden glow.
The way she was deep in thought captivated Xiao Yuhan.
He quietly handed a delicate pastry to Su Yunlan and said softly, "Eat something first to replenish your energy."
Su Yunlan took the pastry, took a small bite, and the sweet taste instantly filled her mouth.
She looked up, smiled sweetly at Xiao Yuhan, her eyes full of gratitude.
This sweet taste comes not only from the dessert, but also from Xiao Yuhan's care and love.
Just then, a bright idea suddenly flashed through Su Yunlan's mind.
She suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I've got it! We can use grafting techniques to combine the advantages of different fruit tree varieties and cultivate even better new varieties!"
Su Yunlan explained her ideas in detail, including which varieties to choose for grafting, how to perform the grafting operation, and how to manage them afterward.
Her thinking was clear and her logic was rigorous, which made everyone nod in agreement.
Even the usually arrogant researcher Zhao couldn't help but look at her with new respect.
“This…this…” Researcher Zhao opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything for a long time.
He originally thought Su Yunlan was just a woman with some medical knowledge, but he didn't expect her to have such profound insights into fruit tree improvement.
Su Yunlan smiled confidently and handed the booklet to Researcher Zhao. "Researcher Zhao, you might want to take a look at this. It might give you some inspiration."
Researcher Zhao took the booklet, opened it to the first page, and saw the words "New Ideas for Fruit Tree Improvement" prominently displayed.
He was startled; a strange premonition welled up inside him...
What exactly is this?
Without further hesitation, Su Yunlan immediately began implementing her improvement plan.
She silently recited the mantra and retrieved a batch of high-quality fruit seedlings that had undergone optimized cultivation from her spatial storage.
These seedlings have well-developed root systems and thick branches, clearly demonstrating their vigorous vitality.
As the first rays of sunlight fell upon the orchard at dawn, Su Yunlan led Young Master Xiao Seventeen to the fruit trees.
Holding a sharp grafting knife, she skillfully made an incision on the weak fruit tree branch, then carefully grafted the branch of the space seedling onto it, and tightly wrapped and secured it with hemp rope.
Her movements were gentle and precise, as if she were handling a precious treasure.
Young Master Xiao studied diligently on the side, occasionally asking questions, which Su Yunlan answered patiently.
The sunlight shone on his face, highlighting his focused expression and making him look exceptionally energetic.
Chen Guonong and Miss Sun were also inspired by Su Yunlan's enthusiasm, and they also joined the grafting team.
Although Chen Guonong is old, he is still nimble and his grafting movements are quite skillful.
Miss Sun was busy helping to hand over tools and wipe away her sweat.
The entire orchard was filled with a busy yet hopeful atmosphere.
The air is filled with the fragrance of soil, the aroma of fruit trees, and the smell of sweat from people's labor, creating a vibrant pastoral scene.
As time went by, Su Yunlan's improvement plan began to show results.
The grafted branches gradually took root and sprouted tender green buds.
The once sickly fruit trees have begun to show new vitality.
Pests and diseases on the fruit trees have been effectively controlled, and the leaves have become lush and glossy, full of vitality.
Looking at the orchard that has been revitalized, the fruit farmers' faces showed long-lost smiles.
They surrounded Su Yunlan, expressing their gratitude in a flurry of voices.
"Madam Su, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, our orchard would have been finished!"
"Yes, Madam Su is simply a savior for our orchard!"
Hearing the fruit farmers' sincere gratitude, Su Yunlan felt a great sense of accomplishment.
She knew that this was not just her achievement, but the result of everyone's joint efforts.
Xiao Yuhan stood not far away, proudly watching Su Yunlan being surrounded by the crowd.
The sunlight shone on him, casting a long shadow.
He knew that his wife was not only a highly skilled doctor, but also an extraordinary woman with boundless wisdom and courage.
However, new problems soon presented themselves to Su Yunlan.
The fruit production in the orchard has increased significantly, but the fruit market is highly competitive, and how to sell these high-quality fruits has become a new challenge.
Su Yunlan frowned slightly as she gazed at the mountain of fruit. She pondered for a moment...
"Yuhan, I want to go to the fruit market..."
