Chapter 144 Dad’s Gift Inside the house, Zhang Yan was already sitting next to the old lady, with one hand held by Zhou Yimin's grandmother, who was praising her vigorously. She expressed satisfaction with Zhang Yan. Not only is she good-looking, she also looks very fertile, and she is still a college student. She and her husband Yimin are a perfect match made in heaven! The most important thing is that Zhang Yan behaved very politely after entering the door, especially to the two elders. This is what makes them most satisfied with Zhang Yan. Some city dwellers look down on rural people. Even if the other party is the family or relatives of their partner, they will show a hint of contempt. Even if they don't say anything on the surface, they will still show that look inadvertently. However, Zhang Yan did not have that kind of attitude at all and did not show any disdain towards the two elders. The old men and women around also followed suit in praising her, making Zhang Yan feel embarrassed. "Okay, you young people go and have fun!" Zhou Yimin's grandmother noticed that Zhang Yan felt a little uncomfortable and unnatural being surrounded by so many old ladies.

After all, she is still a girl, and she is thin-skinned. You are a bunch of old women, and you speak without any sense of propriety and are a bit unscrupulous. Who can stand it? So, she let her future granddaughter-in-law go and play with Yimin without having to keep an old woman like her. Just at this moment, Zhou Yimin brought Zhang Yan's parents in. "Aunt, I am Zhang Jianshe, the father of Zhang Yan, and this is my wife Meiqin. We both wish you good health and a long life..." Zhang Jianshe said in a birthday wish. "Okay! Okay! Jianshe, Meiqin, I've heard Yimin mention you a lot." Zhang Yan's mother sat in Zhang Yan's original seat and started chatting with the old ladies. Her ability to cope with things was not comparable to that of Zhang Yan, a female college student, and she was very engaged in the conversation with the old ladies. The couple also took the opportunity to present birthday gifts. A set of Dacron clothes, a little too big but not a big deal. In addition, there are the thoughts from colleagues. The old lady learned that it was all given by her son's colleagues. But her son did not show any expression, which made the old lady a little depressed for a while. At this time, Zhang Jianshe also realized something, but there were some things he couldn't say. The old man said bluntly: "Humph! Xuhua, that bastard, didn't come back for his mother's 60th birthday, and didn't even show any appreciation, but his colleagues are so thoughtful, really..." Zhou Yimin quickly said, "Grandpa! Don't blame me first. My dad remembered grandma's birthday and sent the birthday gift back to the courtyard. I brought it back this time!" Then he turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma! Wait a minute, my dad may have other things to do and won't be back." Zhou Yimin thought to himself: Dad! This is all I can do to help you. This time when he returned to the village, besides Zhang Yan, he also had a big bag of food in the back of his car! Everyone knew this. He immediately returned to his room and took the pair of cloth shoes that he had asked Grandma Xu to make for him, as well as a set of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded pants, and cotton-padded shoes for winter that he had bought from the store in his mind. "Here! Grandma, these are the thousand-layer cloth shoes I asked someone to make for you. These were sent back by my father. There are cotton coats, cotton pants, and cotton shoes. They can only be worn in winter." Zhou Yimin took them out one by one. The cotton-padded jackets, cotton-padded trousers and cotton-padded shoes are obviously made of high-quality materials and must be very warm to wear in winter.

Others started praising him. How could the old lady blame her son when she saw the cotton-padded jacket, cotton-padded pants and cotton-padded shoes? The complaints in her heart also dissipated. In fact, she didn't care what her son gave her. As long as he remembered that today was her birthday, she was satisfied. She put on the cloth shoes given by her grandson, and they fit her perfectly. She smiled and said, "Yeah! They fit my feet very well." It seems that Zhou Yimin's gift is the least valuable, but the old lady likes it the most. The whole birthday banquet was organized by her grandson. What gift can compare to this thoughtful gift? Zhou Yimin accompanied Zhang Jianshe outside to chat. He is quite knowledgeable, and there are probably only a few people in the whole village who can chat with him so enthusiastically. Because of their different knowledge levels, there is always a generation gap in topics. The three Zhang Yan sisters hid in Zhou Yimin's room. The decoration inside was pretty good, at least better than their room at home. The bed was two meters long. Where had they seen such a big bed? There was also a thick mattress underneath, which was a bit elastic and very comfortable. The wardrobe is a sliding type, which looks very pleasing to the eye. At least young people like this. "Sister, look at this wardrobe, it can be pushed to both sides, which is great." Zhang Yu also wanted to have such a wardrobe. Opening the closet door, the clothes inside are neatly folded and some are hung on hangers, which looks very orderly. It makes people reluctant to mess up even a little bit. "Zhang Yu, Zhang Lu, I'm warning you, don't make a mess. Don't touch things randomly, do you have any manners?" Zhang Yan glared at her sister. Zhang Lu: "It was Brother Yimin who asked us to come in and find something to eat." She opened a cabinet next to her, and there were a lot of food inside, including candies, melon seeds, peanuts, rice cakes, dried fruits, etc. "it's here." Zhang Yu came over with a tray and took out some of the things inside. This was also what Zhou Yimin instructed them to do, to take out the snacks and distribute them to everyone. Zhang Yan sat on the bed, touching the bedside table. She really liked this kind of room, and suddenly she had the idea and impulse to marry Zhou Yimin as soon as possible. She touched here and there, thinking that this place would belong to her in the future, and she was very happy. Suddenly, I saw a lot of books and notes on the desk. She only took a few glances at the notes and knew that they were related to Zhou Yimin's inventions, so she quickly helped to put them away. If there was no lock here, she would have locked it up directly. How can something so important be placed so casually? Then, Zhang Yan took a book and sat at the desk to read. There is a window in front of the desk, facing the countryside and the mountains in the distance. The scenery is very beautiful. Zhang Yu and Zhang Lu don’t like reading! When you get the food, take it out and distribute it to the elderly in the house first. How could the old people bear to eat it? They ate one or two bites of it with resignation, and then put it all in their pockets, ready to take it back to their grandchildren and other descendants. Outside, Zhang Jianshe came to the chick hatchery and listened to Zhou Yimin's explanation. "It takes about 21 days to artificially hatch chicks in this way," said Zhou Yimin.

Although Zhang Jianshe is a scientific researcher, his research field is different. Theoretically, Zhou Yimin's approach is acceptable. Moreover, he also realizes that if this is successful, it will have a significant impact on my country's aquaculture industry. By then, it will be possible to hatch poultry on a large scale. "Artificial incubation has been around in my country for a long time, and the methods vary from place to place. For example, in the north, there is the kang incubation method, in the south, the barrel incubation method is popular, and in the Yangtze River Basin, the vat incubation method is popular. However, the hatching success rate cannot be guaranteed, mainly because the temperature, humidity, oxygen supply, etc. cannot be precisely controlled." Zhou Yimin continued. (End of this chapter)
