Chapter 179: Chapter 179: He Really Wants to Say—He Wants to Eat Her!

Qiao Qingyu tightened her grip on the bicycle handle as her heart inexplicably sank.

He Xiuyu seemed not to notice Qiao Qingyu’s small gesture, his eyes glinting with a smile as he slowly said, "Once they arrive, the thousand silk hemp and barley grass seeds will just be ripe."

"You mean to let them cultivate these seeds?"

He Xiuyu lowered his eyes to look at Qiao Qingyu, his voice still leisurely, "Little Qiao, your laboratory can serve as the original seed cultivation center, and a breeding center can be established at the base as well. The regulations here will remain unchanged. What do you think?"

Qiao Qingyu’s mind raced, feeling that He Xiuyu had thought everything through very thoroughly.

A few days ago, Qiao Qingyu had also considered that once the seeds were mature, she could cultivate them, but it couldn’t be limited to Xichuan, so she had been wanting to discuss with He Xiuyu to see if someone else could take over the breeding work, while she would only provide the original seeds, namely the first batch.

But this was the first time Qiao Qingyu was handling such a matter, and she did not know if it was feasible, so she had kept silent, never expecting He Xiuyu to think ahead of her.

Qiao Qingyu grinned, "You’ve really thought this through thoroughly, thank you."

"How will you thank me?"

He Xiuyu quickly glanced around and then lowered his head, asking Qiao Qingyu with a voice filled with laughter.

"What would you like to eat?" Qiao Qingyu instinctively asked.

After all, nowadays, the best way to thank someone was by preparing a delicious meal.

At that moment, He Xiuyu stared intently at Qiao Qingyu.

This girl, always running around outside, yet her skin had not darkened but had become even smoother and more delicate, especially when a ray of sunlight shone on her face, making it appear even more white and translucent.

Her lips were the most attractive, like two petals fused together.

He really wanted to say—he wanted to eat her!

However, Mr. He Xiuyu still spoke with a smile in his eyes and a slightly hoarse voice, "I’d like some cold noodles."

Qiao Qingyu spread her hands, "Sorry, we’ve run out of noodles at home."

He Xiuyu furrowed his brow in disappointment.

"Then fry some eggplants with chili for me."

Paired with two-meter rice, it would be fragrant and delicious.

This request was not too demanding, and Qiao Qingyu promptly agreed. At this time, several people approached, and without more words, Qiao Qingyu mounted her bicycle and left the Big White Building.

In the ’80s, whether it was rice or wheat, the yields were still not high.

Not to mention in the countryside, even in the cities, eating white flour buns every day was a luxury.

However, this year had already missed the season for planting wheat and rice.

So these would have to be planned for next spring.

Qiao Qingyu then went to her Zone 5 Laboratory.

On the warehouse shelves were several sacks that concealed their true contents, stuffed with ordinary vegetable seeds.

These were prepared for her brother and the others.

The well-cultivated ones she had stored in her space.

But her current laboratory was set up quite similarly to her space.

The only difference was that here, seedlings as excellent as those produced in her laboratory could not be cultivated.

Qiao Qingyu did not plan to add more people to her laboratory, as she could only handle it alone in this lifetime, and He Xiuyu didn’t have that intention either; hence, he would rather establish a separate breeding center.

Qiao Qingyu took a stroll and was indeed relieved. Having such a seed production unit made her job easier.

Even if the seeds bred were not as good as the ones in the "space," she couldn’t always rely on the "space." Only by breeding on a large scale could she maximize their effectiveness.

Qiao Qingyu returned home and called Lu Ye.

Unexpectedly, the call was answered by a girl with a delicate voice, "Who are you?"

Qiao Qingyu was stunned for a moment and recalled the number, it was correct. The girl on the other end grew impatient, "Who exactly are you?"

"I am Qiao Qingyu. Is this Lu Ye’s office phone?"

"Qiao Qingyu, are you the Qiao Qingyu from the Qiao Family Team?" her tone suddenly became sharp.

Then, the phone was snatched away, and it was Lu Ye’s voice, frantic, "Sheng Meijiao, get out!"

The delicate voice became frantic instantly, and through the phone, she could be heard, "Lu Ye, what do you mean? You ask me to leave when Qiao Qingyu calls you, what are you two doing that you can’t let others know? She is already married, give it up!"

The phone then abruptly disconnected.

Qiao Qingyu frowned and slowly put down the phone. Who was this woman? She seemed to know her, but she didn’t recognize her.

Was her name Sheng Meijiao?

Clearly, there was a strong hostility towards her.

Qiao Qingyu wrinkled her nose and turned to her vegetable garden.

Wearing her straw hat, she picked some chili peppers and eggplants, ready to ride her bicycle to the cooperative to see if there was any pork for sale.

Speaking of which, the three of them hadn’t eaten meat for more than twenty days.

Not to mention Rongrong, even she was craving it.

Just then, the phone rang again, and Qiao Qingyu hurried back inside to answer, thinking it should be Lu Ye.

And indeed it was Lu Xiaopang, "I am Lu Ye, was there something you needed?"

His voice had already calmed down, apparently, he had either finished arguing or resolved the issue.

Pretending she was unaware, Qiao Qingyu cheerfully said, "Of course, I need something from you."

"What is it?" Lu Ye asked calmly.

"I think you guys should also establish a specialized seed breeding base. Of course, this is just a suggestion. For instance, for the thousand silk hemp in the eight hundred mu test field, if the outcomes are good, you can set up a separate seed breeding base, and in the future, I can supply you with the original seeds."

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is this what Tenghai Research Base also did?"

"Yes, so I think you guys could consider doing the same."

There was silence on the other end, and Qiao Qingyu furrowed her brows, "Of course, this is just a suggestion. The actual execution is for you to decide."

It seemed Lu Ye slowly exhaled, "Actually, I’ve had this idea for a while."

"Then why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"I’ve been too busy, and I thought you wanted to monopolize seed breeding."

Qiao Qingyu laughed in disbelief, "Lu Xiaopang, think about it. With my small laboratory, how could I possibly monopolize seed breeding? I wouldn’t dare. I’m already satisfied that I can provide original seeds."

"You should have said so earlier, and I wouldn’t have had to follow others blindly."

Lu Ye mumbled that, and Qiao Qingyu didn’t quite catch it, so she raised her voice, "What did you just say? Say it again."

"I didn’t say anything important. This suggestion is good. We’ll discuss it in a meeting, and if it’s feasible, I’ll let you know."

Then, he mumbled again, "Qiao Qingyu, that woman earlier was Sheng Meijiao. She’s my grandfather’s old colleague’s granddaughter, interning at the grassroots level. She often speaks without thinking, don’t take her seriously."
