The school matters were left to Uncle Wu, while the down products were entirely handled by Old Yang. Major and minor matters in the village were overseen by the eldest brother, and Shuzhen only needed to focus wholeheartedly on seed optimization and breeding with Lianshan.
Through the promotion over the years '72, '73, and '74, the concept of interplanting proposed by the couple had spread like wildfire across the country.
The yield of more than 780 mu of rice paddies increased year by year, even exceeding the milestone of one thousand jin per mu during the autumn harvest of '73. With no concept of hybrid rice at that time, this yield was absolutely astonishing. And unlike the inflated and exaggerated figures elsewhere, their yield was genuinely and honestly sent to the province as seeds. The quantity was accurate to the last jin, with absolutely no falsification involved.
Thanks to this rice seed alone, Shuzhen and Lianshan repeatedly appeared on the national news pages.
