The technician from the Agricultural Research Institute is named He Shujie, a young technician under 30 years old.
Despite his young age, to hold a position at the Agricultural Research Institute means his professional skills are top-notch.
Technician He specializes in off-season vegetable planting, and it took Lin Chuxia a lot of effort to invite him to provide guidance for the greenhouses in Qin Family Village.
After arriving in Qin Family Village, Technician He was arranged to stay with the Qin Family.
There was just one vacant room in the newly built house of the Qins.
Lin Chuxia specifically instructed Qin Han to tidy it up nicely, and Mrs. Qin prepared fresh bedding.
All three meals were personally taken care of by Mrs. Qin herself.
When Lin Chuxia got home, Technician He was not around.
Mrs. Qin was preparing dinner, with soy-braised tofu, omelette, freshly steamed large white buns, and also cooked a thick rice porridge.
"Mom, dinner is so lavish."
Lin Chuxia took a freshly steamed white bun, tore half of it, and went to look for sugar.
Mrs. Qin passed her the sugar jar with a smile, "The technician from the city is working for our village; we can’t skimp on food and drink. Your brother also brought some ready-made food, I’ll cut some more in a bit."
Lin Chuxia took a bite of the bun with sugar, and gave Mrs. Qin a thumbs up, "Mom, your awareness is getting higher and higher."
Mrs. Qin, feeling flattered and seeing her just eating a bun, quickly went to get the sausages.
"Don’t just gnaw on the bun, let me slice some sausage for you."
"Mom, you don’t have to fuss, I like this."
The freshly steamed buns with sugar brought back the taste of childhood.
Lin Chuxia quickly ate half a bun, clapped her hands, "I’m going to the field to have a look, do you know where they went?"
"They went to your brother’s field. Your brother set up two greenhouses, one in his field and one in ours. I heard that the one in our field is now contributed by your brother for the technician to conduct experiments; Technician He mainly runs over to that side."
Lin Chuxia knew the brother Mrs. Qin mentioned was her elder brother, Qin Liang.
"Okay, I got it, I’ll go have a look."
Lin Chuxia didn’t drive this time, but rode her bicycle straight to their own field.
The fields in Qin Family Village had changed a lot, with neat rows of vegetable greenhouses.
From time to time, she’d run into villagers working in the fields, all of whom would greet Lin Chuxia warmly.
Upon reaching her own field, she saw Qin Han, standing outside the greenhouse smoking.
Qin Han was surprised to see her, "Sister-in-law, when did you come back?"
"Just got home a little while ago, big brother, is Technician He here?"
Qin Han hurriedly snuffed out his cigarette, "They’re all in the greenhouse, the village chief’s accountant is also there."
The village chief put the accountant Qin Ming in charge of the greenhouses, with the village chief responsible for coordination.
Lin Chuxia did not miss the regret in his eyes and nodded in agreement, "All these hardware facilities are inanimate. What people need most are excellent varieties and technical support. As long as those aspects are met, I believe the widespread adoption of vegetable greenhouses is just around the corner. So in this regard, Technician He, you are the one Qin Family Village relies on."
Technician He smiled again, and this time he was genuinely embarrassed by Lin Chuxia’s words but gave an affirmative response, "I will do my best."
The sun was about to set, and the temperature inside the greenhouse was also falling, requiring the covering with straw mats for insulation.
He Shujie and Lin Chuxia walked out while discussing the recent developments.
The vegetable varieties he brought had already been distributed to some of the farmers, and those who were quick had already seen seedlings sprout.
"The villagers of Qin Village are very unified and disciplined; it makes managing the promotion of planting quite easy. Before I came here, I was worried that the seeds distributed would go to waste, but it turned out that my concerns were unfounded."
He Shujie was clearly satisfied with the cooperation of the villagers of Qin Village.
Lin Chuxia replied with a smile, "Didn’t the village chief tell you? The villagers and the village have signed an agreement; this season, the villagers must comply with the village’s management in the vegetable greenhouses and listen to you, Technician He. You go ahead and do your work with confidence. You are the God of Wealth I’ve invited. Anyone who disobeys and offends my God of Wealth will be punished. You can talk directly with the village chief about this or with me. And if you need anything, just let Qin Han know. Our Qin Family Village agricultural supply store is your backup force."
He Shujie laughed outright at her words.
Indeed, it was because of some promises made by Lin Chuxia that he had come to Qin Family Village.
Before coming, he had been prepared. Promises are one thing, and reality is another; he had experience at the grassroots level.
Yet, the actual conditions exceeded even what she had promised.
With the sun about to set, it was also time for them to finish work for the day.
Qin Ming handed over the notes to He Shujie, and they agreed to continue the next day, then went their separate ways home.
