This laughter said that he officially changed from "post-80s" to "post-90s" today. The old man made a birthday wish at the birthday party held on the 7th.

Several groups of guests came to celebrate birthdays.
"Our China's hybrid rice technology is far ahead in the world." Yuan Longping excitedly told everyone about his favorite business. Except for China, the total area of hybrid rice planted worldwide currently exceeds 7 million hectares, including the United States. China, Japan and other advanced countries have come to China to "learn from experience", which makes him "very proud".

At 11 o'clock in the morning, everyone pushed Yuan Longping a two-tiered birthday cake with the words "90" in it, applauded and sang the birthday song.
Yuan Longping stood up from the sofa and walked to the cake and said: "(The third-generation hybrid rice yields 3000 catties per mu in two seasons). It must be realized soon!" Then, he leaned down and blew out the candles in one breath...
