Chapter 587: Chapter 587 The World of Geniuses, We Don’t Understand

After threading the chilies, it was a good time to have Lu Yichen climb up the ladder to hang them from the eaves while Luo Qiao finished tidying up. Only then did she sit down to start eating the pomegranate that Lu Yichen had peeled for her. The taste was quite alright, and it reminded her of the soft-seed pomegranates from the future, which were sour, sweet, and juicy.

After finishing the pomegranate, the corn was also nearly done boiling. Lu Yichen picked one out for her, skewered it with chopsticks, and handed it to Luo Qiao, "Try it, quick."

Receiving the corn, Luo Qiao tried a bite, "It’s not bad, pretty tender, but it’s still not sweet enough. You should grab one too, let’s eat together."

Zhou Guifang, watching the interaction of the two from the kitchen, felt relieved. She had realized that her granddaughter had someone special in her heart, but probably Lu Yichen cherished his granddaughter even more.

Let it be, she thought, let nature take its course.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Luo Qiao said, "Grandma, I’m going to check on the new house and pick up Grandpa on the way."

Zhou Guifang glanced at the sky, "Sure, the sun isn’t too harsh now. Go ahead if you want to."

Lu Yichen stood up, "Grandma, I’ll go with her. It’s a good chance to see how the new house is coming along."

Zhou Guifang nodded, "Go ahead, but ride slowly on the way."

The two of them pushed their bicycles out of the house and ran into Luo Haotian returning home. "Dad, how come you’re back so early today?"

Luo Haotian, seeing his daughter about to leave, said, "The seed sowing machine your second brother designed has finally been finished after a few days of rushing the job. We let the folks in the group go home early today so everyone can rest up. Tomorrow we’re planning to find a spot to test it out."

Luo Qiao said, "Really? It’s done already? Can I find a place for you to test it out?"

Luo Haotian asked, "Do you know someone?"

Luo Qiao replied with a mysterious smile, "Anyway, just go there tomorrow, it’s not too far away."

Luo Qiao went back into the yard to write down an address, phone number, and contact person to give to Luo Haotian, then said, "Dad, why don’t you wash up and rest first, I’m going to check on Grandpa at the new house."

Luo Haotian was indeed tired; he had been working on the automatic seed sowing machine for several days with hardly any proper rest.

The last time Peng Mingdong went to Guangzhou, he gained some experience, but he found that the prices of the agricultural machinery were just too high. Luo Qiao talked about Peng Mingdong’s experiences in Guangdong at home with her dad and brothers.

In her previous life, she hadn’t understood much about machinery, only having seen some reports and witnessed some agricultural machines at work while visiting farm resorts.

So when she casually mentioned that it would be nice to have an automatic seeding machine, she said it without much thought, but Second Brother Luo Xuyuan, who heard her, took it seriously and came to their father a few days later with two design drafts.

When Luo Haotian saw the design drafts, he was beyond excited, thinking that theoretically, it was feasible. The invention could be made into a manual seed sowing machine, or even one that worked in conjunction with motor vehicles as a mechanical sower.

Therefore, Luo Haotian took those designs to the factory director, and after some consideration by the factory leaders, they decided to establish a special task force. If it really worked out, it could be a great boon for both the country and the people.

That’s what we call talent: Luo Qiao merely voiced her idea casually, and Luo Xuyuan could design it. Then the technicians could pool their wisdom and labor intensively to produce it.

It’s true that specialization is key, and there’s a world of genius that we don’t understand.

Lu Yichen rode his bike and took Luo Qiao to the new house. When they arrived, the carpenters were just fitting the windows. The house was designed by Luo Qiao and her brothers, but the windows were made according to Luo Qiao’s wishes.

Luo Qiao did not like the small-paneled windows of the past; she had them all made into big windows with large panes, creating an impression of spaciousness and brightness which would also make it easier to clean the glass later on.

This house would definitely be completed in about ten more days. The construction had lasted over a month, but by the new year, they would surely be able to move in. This year, everyone could enjoy more space without being so cramped, as each person would have their own room.

The house was designed to resemble a small villa, and they built additional rooms on the back lot that led to the backyard, expanding the width by one room during the foundation laying process. Now there were four rooms instead of three, and along with the backyard space, the overall floor area had doubled.
