Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 154 Persuasion

Seeing Li Chuanzhong take over, Gu Zhan continued, "Shanghe Village's cattle farm not only belongs to Shanghe Village, but is also the province's 'Anhe No. 1' experimental promotion site. This means we not only raise cattle here, but also serve as a base for breeding calves and sending them to other places."

Li Chuanzhong had only heard about the cattle farm, but he was not very clear about the details. Now that Gu Zhan told him about it, he felt a little strange.

He felt that this change was greater than all the previous changes.

Then he thought of the hardships he had endured over the years and felt disheartened. He suppressed the overly optimistic thoughts that were welling up in his mind: "How can I help with farming? I don't think I'm good at it."

"Mr. Li, you also know that our cattle breeding is a long process. I believe you are also well aware of our current agricultural development."

After a pause and a glance at Li Chuanzhong's calm expression, Gu Zhan continued, "So we've discussed this with the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences and plan to conduct embryo splitting experiments in Shanghe Village. If this succeeds, it will be a major advancement in the history of our agricultural development."

Li Chuanzhong was a little confused by what Gu Zhan said. The cattle farm was cooperating with the provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to develop embryo splitting technology, so why would they ask him, a transferred doctor who couldn't even lift a scalpel, to do that?

"So, what can I do for you?"

Gu Zhan's attitude became more humble. He said solemnly, "You are known as a surgical expert. You have a deep foundation in both theoretical medical knowledge and clinical practice. Once our experiment begins, we will need someone like you to personally enter the laboratory and perform the embryo splitting operation."

Upon hearing Gu Zhan's words, Li Chuanzhong refused without hesitation: "I'm afraid I can't help you with anything."

"Mr. Li, I want you to believe that in less than a year, everything will be fine. Our country will enter a period of rapid development, and everything will move in the direction we expect."

"Tsk, you young people should just listen to this, why bother lying to me, an old man with his neck buried in the earth?"

Gu Zhan felt a little dry in the mouth. Li Chuanzhong's pessimism about the current situation was more serious than he thought.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Zhan decided to pull out his trump card. He looked at Li Chuanzhong and said, "No matter what, what I just said is true. Please believe it. Also, don't worry about your wife's illness for now. I have asked someone to buy medicine from the provincial capital."

"What? What did you say?" Li Chuanzhong's face suddenly changed when he heard Gu Zhan talking about his wife's illness.

Gu Zhan said solemnly: "Just as you just heard."

Gu Zhan was considering that if the laboratory and equipment were prepared smoothly, the embryo splitting experiment would be successful within half a year. By then, when Li Chuanzhong returned to Beijing, it would not be a problem.

Once they returned to Jing City, the natural environment would have changed, and with the city's improved medical facilities, Liu Xuehua's illness would no longer be a major problem. This way, they wouldn't both perish in Shanghe Village as they had in their previous life. As long as they could buy medicine to temporarily stabilize Liu Xuehua's condition, they could change everything.

Li Chuanzhong looked at Gu Zhan blankly.

He knew that his wife's illness was not complicated, but he was unable to buy medicine for her treatment.

"Anyway, I will find a way to help you buy the medicine. Please be sure to lend us a helping hand when the time comes. This is very important for Shanghe Village."

After saying what he wanted to say, Gu Zhan looked around the house again, then stood up and left.

After Gu Zhan left, Li Chuanzhong sat at the table and pondered for a long time before he suddenly remembered that his wife had not eaten yet. He put the porridge back into the pot to heat it up before feeding it to his wife.

Should you go or not?

In fact, when Li Chuanzhong looked at his wife lying in his arms, he knew that the balance of reason had already tilted.

He knew what Gu Zhan meant, and there was no way he couldn't help but be moved at this moment.

Gu Zhan returned home in the cold spring wind and sat around the stove for a long time before he felt warm. Just at this moment, Gu Xinxin woke up and babbled while playing with her little hands. Gu Zhan felt so soft in his heart that he simply picked up the little girl.

Looking at his healthy and lovely daughter in his arms, Gu Zhan felt that he must save Li Chuanzhong and his wife and help them escape the tragic ending of their previous life.

Early the next morning, Gu Zhan went to the cattle farm again. During this period, he could appropriately weight the cattle in the farm and take advantage of the time to allow some of the cattle to breed naturally. After all, the breeding cycle of cattle is not short.

It will take some time before the embryo splitting experiment can be implemented, and it will take at least three or four months before it can be officially put into use.

Thinking of seeing his bedridden wife at Li Chuanzhong's house yesterday, Gu Zhan felt a bit heavy in his heart. Judging from the current situation, Liu Xuehua's illness should be quite serious. If no urgent measures are taken, Gu Zhan is afraid that it will become a tragedy like his previous life.

Gu Zhan felt uneasy.

As he had nothing to do the next day, he simply borrowed Baogen's bicycle and went to the commune clinic. He bought three prescriptions of herbal medicine based on the symptoms he later learned about in his previous life.

After returning to Shanghe Village, Gu Zhan still delivered the herbs in the dark.

This time Li Chuanzhong did not refuse, but hesitated for a moment before accepting the herbs and thanking Gu Zhan.

After Gu Zhan left, Li Chuanzhong brought the kerosene lamp and placed it on the table. He carefully opened the kraft paper wrapping the herbs and looked through the Chinese medicine inside one by one.

After seeing that all the symptoms were met, he placed the medicine in a clay pot and began to boil it.

Liu Xuehua knew her family's current situation, that they couldn't even afford a penny. She struggled to get up and asked, "Why are you buying medicine? I just need to lie down and I'll be fine."

Li Chuanzhong told Liu Xuehua truthfully, "It was delivered by the young man who came yesterday."

"This……"

"It's okay, I checked it, there's nothing wrong with the medicine."

"That's not what I meant. If you accept someone's medicine, does that mean you have to help them?"

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing." Li Chuanzhong said.

After seven or eight days, Guo Zhida returned from the provincial capital with good news.

As soon as he entered the cattle farm, he saw Gu Zhan and Xia Yu together and came over to say, "The province has approved our project. Now we still need some professional equipment and chemicals. Dean Sun has been contacting people everywhere these days."

Hearing this news, Gu Zhan felt relieved. Although they had said that if the province did not approve, they would find a way to do it themselves, but without money, it would be much more difficult. Now that they had money, it was much easier.

"Oh, right..." Guo Zhida took out a plastic bottle from his bag and handed it to Gu Zhan: "Xiao Gu, Dean Sun asked me to bring you the medicine you wanted to buy."

Gu Zhan took the medicine and said, "Thank you very much."
