Li Yungui recalled the past days and suddenly felt like crying. What kind of days were those? His heart ached again. He finally had his good days, and now they suddenly felt the same as before. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Xiao Wei, what are we going to do in the future?"

"The future? We’ll find a way in the future, don’t be too fixated."

"How can I not be fixated? I’ve finally seen money, and now it’s suddenly gone. How am I supposed to adapt?"

Wei Kaiyun laughed, "It’s not that serious, don’t worry. Look, our village has fifty more workers, and the rest can still farm at home.

There’s also the chicken farm, and we can go to other villages to farm for them. Isn’t that all money?

Village Chief Li, you can’t just think about yourself. It’s a whole village getting wealthy."

How could Li Yungui not understand this principle? He just didn’t want to admit it.

"So this is how we’ll be in the future?"

"We can start like this. When I come back, we’ll work with Master Lu to make the threshing machine. By then, you can also go to other villages to do handiwork and make money just the same."

"But doesn’t that need electricity? The power supply bureau hasn’t approved our electrification." That’s something else that made Li Yungui unhappy.

"We can use a generator. I’ve already asked Jiushang to send a message to Lu. We’ll have news when they return.

Don’t worry. I’ve seen diesel engines with generators, and Lu and I have discussed it. Don’t worry, even if the money isn’t enough, we can bring it back."

Only then did Li Yungui feel a bit better. He felt his rollercoaster emotions were quite troublesome.

Hu Mingjin sat on the side, listening. He learned a bit more about Wei Kaiyun.

The attitude of Li Family Village toward him was indeed different. Now it was clear to him that this was the leader of Li Family Village.

"Xiao Wei, are you going to be away for so long? I don’t feel at ease without you at home."

"Haha. Village Chief Li, if my wife said this to me, it would be fine. But you’re scaring me."

Hu Mingjin couldn’t hold back his laughter at Wei Kaiyun’s words.

"Xiao Wei, you should go early and come back early."

"Isn’t it because the chicken farm needs fish meal and such? Village Chief Li, our family bought twenty jins of eggs from the chicken farm, and they are really delicious."

"They must be delicious, better than what people eat."

The three of them walked back under the hot sun, chatting away, unaware of how slow or hot it was.

Li Yungui immediately hurried with the cart, wanting to take Wei Kaiyun home.

They saw that Xu Chunshan’s house frame was already up.

"This house looks good. I’ve ordered a lot of bricks, and more than ten families in our village want to build new houses."

"Actually, people all have work to do, there’s no need to build by themselves. I think the mason’s craftsmanship is quite good. They can build houses one by one."

Wei Kaiyun thought it would be great if the whole village built brick houses, so his own house wouldn’t stand out.

"My home is using them, it’s all been arranged. Once Xu’s house is done, they’ll come to mine."

"It’s right to build a house, if you have money you should make yourself comfortable."

Upon reaching home, the children were attending class. His wife had gone to the field. Thinking that they needed to spray chemicals that evening, Wei Kaiyun changed clothes and took the insecticide, sprayer, and water bucket to the field.

Because aphids were discovered, Li Cunshan was worried. The village needed to spray chemicals that day too.

Wei Kaiyun saw Jiang Xinyu weeding in the vegetable garden, so he squatted by her side.

"How is it? All arranged?"

"Yes, tomorrow afternoon we’ll load up, we also need to set up the vehicle."

"I’ve already got the straw mats lined up in the truck bed, so it’s a bit more comfortable."

"It’ll take three days at least."

"Be careful when you go to the Provincial City."

"Xinyu, why don’t you come with me? Let Old Yang take the three older children, and the two of us take the two younger ones to the Provincial City."

"You go by yourself."

"Xinyu, come with me, we’ll go straight from there by truck to find Old Yang and the others by the sea.

I really don’t want to go alone. Please come with me this time."

"Okay, I’ll talk to the three kids when we get back."

"I’ll do the talking."

Jiang Xinyu didn’t mind, she was flexible. Anywhere was fine as long as the kids were okay with it.

This year’s carrots grew well, and there are more than last year. This vegetable is easy to store, and with so many kids at home, it’s good for their health.

"I wonder if Old Han found any green pepper seeds? The kids are always getting tired of the same few vegetables."

"Wife, we can check at the seed station in the Provincial City. Besides, I heard they have specialized agricultural groups there that focus on researching new varieties."

"Sure, let’s go have a look. If not, we’ll plant more vegetables next year. As long as it makes money, Village Chief Li will surely agree."

Wei Kaiyun laughed, "Of course, ever since Village Chief Li got the notification, he occasionally feels troubled and worried about money."

"Haha, I guess everyone feels the pinch. But in decades, they will understand your good intentions."

In fact, the couple initially didn’t want to use pesticides, even if just for mixing, given the potential harm.

However, given the trend, if they wanted high yields, it wasn’t just certain conditions, but pests also had to be prevented. Moreover, handing things over directly was disheartening, helping people earn some money seemed good too.

Isn’t there also welfare, at least the village now has fifty official employment positions.

All the weeds in the vegetable beds were pulled, and it was already four in the afternoon.

"Xinyu, you should head back, I’m going to spray now."

"I’ll get water for you."

"No need, I have two buckets of water, that’s enough."

By dinner time, Wei Kaiyun talked with the three kids, telling them to go with Old Yang.

"Dad, we also want to go to the Provincial City," Shi Jing was somewhat reluctant.

"Next time, I’ll take the three of you to the Provincial City. This time, go to the seaside and wait for us.

Too many people isn’t good, be good, and I’ll definitely find a chance to take you."

Feifei and Jianbin had no objections; as long as they could go out and play, it was fine.

"Xiao Wei, do you have a house in Hai City? Maybe we can visit there for the New Year?"

Old Yang also wanted to prepare a house for his son in that area since holding onto money was useless.

"Celebrating New Year over there is too dangerous. You can call Zhou Zhiping, and whatever you want to do, let him handle it."

"You moved Zhou Zhiping over there?"

"Yeah, he’s the same anywhere. In Hai City, he can also watch over my house."

"That’s not bad, okay, give me his number, I’ll find time to call him." They’re all brothers; Zhou Zhiping may be a bit gloomy, but he’s still a brother.

"Dad, we’ve never been to Hai City either."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feifei immediately wanted to go.

"Feifei, let’s talk about it in a few years. Going out to play for a few days this time is already taking a huge risk."
