Chapter 442: Chapter 442: The Secret of Rebirth 3

But Shen Haoze still felt it was unbelievable, incredible.

Could Su Yunyao really come up with so many significant things in just a few minutes?

Every single one of them was shocking and thrilling.

He didn’t even know how to start speaking, and the room fell into an unspeakable silence.

As the sky gradually darkened, noise began to emanate from the hallway, no longer as quiet as before.

Shen Haoze took a deep breath. Continuing this stalemate was not a solution. He stretched out both hands, vigorously wiped his face, and then rubbed it vigorously to clear his head. Then he saw Su Yunyao covering her chest, seemingly very uncomfortable.

He stood up, took a clean cup, and then made Su Yunyao a bowl of malted milk.

Just gulping down alcohol without eating anything would certainly make her feel unwell.

He placed the cup of malted milk on the table and said, "You... take a sip of the malted milk first, warm your stomach. Don’t go to the cafeteria, I’ll go get the food."

After that, he did not care anymore whether to avoid making others suspicious or not.

Su Yunyao didn’t speak. Shen Haoze wiped his face again, trying to completely wake himself up and not to think about the incredible things he had just heard. Taking two jars and a lunch box, he then went out to get food from the cafeteria, and meanwhile turned on the lights in the room.

The suddenly bright light was somewhat dazzling, causing Su Yunyao to involuntarily close her eyes.

By the time Shen Haoze nearly reached the door to close it, Su Yunyao let out a deep sigh, stretched out her hand and vexedly hit her mouth several times.

It turned her pallid lips red.

What to do?

What should she do?

She had acted so impulsively, revealing secrets she hadn’t even told her parents, she just blurted them out to Shen Haoze and said so many things. Shen Haoze’s look was one of horror, and so was hers.

She didn’t even know if Shen Haoze really went to the cafeteria to get food or to do something else, but she no longer had the strength to take it back.

Su Yunyao regretted, truly regretted, and felt truly awful.

Fortunately, her body’s tolerance for alcohol was high, so her stomach didn’t churn too badly. She struggled to stand up, walked to the table; the malted milk was very hot, and there was a clean spoon in it. She tried a few sips, and it made her stomach feel a bit better.

But Su Yunyao had no intention of going back.

She was waiting for Shen Haoze, waiting for him to come back to see his reaction, and then figure out how to phrase what she said today.

Saying that she was talking in her sleep and making up wild tales from her dreams, perhaps all of this might suffice.

Shen Haoze quickly came back with the food.

Steamed buns, cabbage stewed with tofu, containing slices of pork belly.

It was simple, but actually quite plentiful.

There were also several kinds of pickled vegetables in another lunchbox.

They were sugar-vinegar radishes made by the base cafeteria’s chef, sprinkled with a layer of chili; they were both delicious and perfect with rice.

Cabbages and radishes, these vegetables need to be thanked for by Qiao Qingyu. Without the seeds she provided, everyone would usually be eating coarse grain steamed buns and pickled vegetables at this time of year.

Previously, even pickled vegetables were often in short supply, but starting this year, everyone will eat large steamed buns made from pure white flour three times a week.

Su Yunyao sat on the bed, and Shen Haoze glanced at the cup of malted milk; she must have just drunk some because her complexion looked a lot better.

Shen Haoze seriously asked Su Yunyao, "Do you remember when the flood in North City happened?"

Su Yunyao suddenly looked up at Shen Haoze, who asked the question, and appeared surprised as if she hadn’t expected him to ask that.

"...I was just talking nonsense earlier."

Finally, Su Yunyao spoke, her voice husky.

Shen Haoze slightly closed his eyes, recalling the expression Su Yao had when she said these words. She seemed to be reveling in schadenfreude as she said that this summer, North City would experience severe floods. Crops along the river would fail, both Hejia Village and Qiao Family Team would be inundated, and Qiao Qingyu was destined for a disastrous loss.

Indeed, no matter how advanced your technology may be, sometimes humans are really helpless in the face of natural disasters.

He of course knew that Qiao Qingyu was currently working under the name of Tenghai Research Agricultural Base to initiate pilot programs and promotions there, having also signed agreements.

The Qiao Family Team had become a seed-producing base, for which the state had allocated funds.

The construction was ongoing, and it was reportedly reaching a preliminary scale.

It was now January of 1984, and in a few months, spring plowing would begin.

Last fall, North City, known as one of the major grain storages, had exerted a lot of effort for the frontlines.

Superior seeds were widely spread across North City, which served as the center spreading nationwide.

He didn’t know the detailed planning or how much Qiao Qingyu had actually invested, but he guessed that this year’s investment could be even more significant than last year’s.

Shen Haoze said, "Yun Yao, I really hope you were just spouting nonsense."

"I was just spouting nonsense." Su Yunyao stood up, a bit unsteady, but she steadied herself. "The words I said earlier were just drunk talk; you should forget all about them."

"Yun Yao, your words sounded as if you had experienced them yourself, how could I forget?"

Su Yunyao fell silent, then she steadily looked at Shen Haoze. She knew that if she denied it again after talking to her own family, they might believe her, but saying it to a scientific researcher like Shen Haoze would likely backfire.

He must have believed her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have run to He Xiuyu’s house like a madman since many of the things she mentioned involved these two people.

Even the major tragedy that occurred on this year’s New Year’s Eve was related to He Xiuyu.

Because that batch of materials was manufactured under He Xiuyu’s oversight.

What’s more crucial is that she inadvertently spilled A-04’s great secret.

He Xiuyu was no fool; he had nearly completed A-04, while she held the finished product. He had been skeptical from the beginning to the present, and despite A-04 nearing completion, he remained so, unable to comprehend without understanding.

But if Shen Haoze told him what she had mentioned, the clever He Xiuyu would immediately understand.

Still, Shen Haoze was startled by her, leaving Su Yunyao somewhat embarrassed, but also feeling a strange warmth and odd sensation rising little by little.

Shen Haoze cared about her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have obediently come back with her under her threat, then gone to get her food and prepare her malted milk, even after she told him so much.

"I told you so much, why did you ask about the flood first?" Su Yunyao was genuinely curious.
