Lin Yu was pulled home by Tie Dan and Xiao Bao, where she saw Lin Yi standing in the middle of the yard, introducing the things in his hands to Lin Aiguo.

"Xiao Yi, why did you call me here?"

Lin Yi waved to her: "Sister, look, I made it. Is this the one you were talking about?"

"Really! You made it?" Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over.

It was a long, narrow bamboo tube, about waist-high, with a handle.

“I’ve been thinking about the mechanism inside for a long time, and I found a similar one in a book. Take a look.”

Lin Yu couldn't understand the mechanism either, but she knew its purpose.

They have a vegetable garden in their backyard, "Let's give it a try."

Lin Aiguo was also interested in the children's imaginative ideas, so he went over with them.

Lin Yu placed a seedling in a bamboo tube, inserted the end of the tube into the ground, and pressed a button to plant the seedling.

Lin Aiguo asked in surprise, "It's that simple?"

Lin Yu crouched down to take a look: "It worked! It was that simple!"

Lin Aiguo also squatted down to look at the seedlings in the field. He was an old farmer for many years, so he could see how important these things were.

"This tool is amazing!"

With this, their efficiency will be greatly improved, and they will no longer have to bend over to work; they can plant the seedlings simply by standing.

Lin Aiguo held the tool, his heart filled with joy. "Xiao Yi, could you make a few more for our brigade?"

Lin Yi scratched his head: "Sure, I've used up all the bamboo in the house..."

"That's not a problem. I'll have your older brothers go and chop it up later."

"Then there's no problem." Actually, once you figure this out, it's not difficult to make. He's already made one, and he can make the next one quickly too.

While Lin Yu listened to their conversation, her mind was already wandering elsewhere.

"Uncle, do you think this seedling planter is really useful?"

She originally just wanted to avoid having to bend over to work, which caused her back pain.

I never thought this thing could be of much use.

Lin Aiguo knew she didn't understand, so he explained to her: "We farmers work so hard, bending over like this, and every year several elderly people have to lie down."

Even younger people, doing this for years, will have their backs bent.

This is a seedling planter, right? It allows us to work upright, making it less strenuous.

Moreover, inserting one type at a time like this greatly speeds up the process.

Lin Yu then realized that this thing was quite useful.

"Uncle, do you think other brigades would also want such tools?"

"Of course, if they knew there was such a thing, they would be so envious of us."

Lin Aiguo was already eager to go out and show off to the other brigade leaders. This was a farm tool made by his nephew, a primary school student!

Do they have them?

But Lin Yu's next words made him serious.

"Uncle, should we report the seedling planter issue to our superiors?"

"Xiaoyu, you mean..."

Lin Yu discussed with Lin Aiguo, asking him to report the seedling planter issue to the higher-ups. If it could benefit other brigades, then the Lianhua Brigade would be officially recognized by the authorities.

It will be of great benefit to their brigade.

Lin Aiguo slapped his thigh: "That's right, if I don't report it, other brigades will want it and we'll have no choice but to give it to them."

It's better to take the initiative yourself.

So Lin Aiguo called on several strong laborers from various brigades, including his two sons, to cut bamboo for Lin Yi.

They brought it to the Lin family's courtyard and sent a few people to help Lin Yi make a seedling planter.

After Lin Yi and a few others understood how the seedling planter worked, they started working on it together.

Lin Aiguo plans to distribute the tools first, record the data, and see how much efficiency this seedling planter can improve.

We can report back later and be fully informed.

Lin Yu went inside to find Da Niu, who was reading the newspaper to Ke Ke. Recently, her sister-in-law started working, so Da Niu was taking care of Ke Ke at home.

Ever since Lin Yu took Da Niu to the county town and encouraged her to read more books and newspapers, Da Niu felt that she was accumulating more and more material.

So she enjoyed reading books and newspapers even more, and would read newspapers whenever she had free time.

While taking care of Coco, you can also read to her.

I thought I could influence her so that she could become a child who loves learning in the future.

Coco: I don't understand...

Lin Yu always found it funny to see Coco's confused expression.

"Hey girl, are you reading the newspaper again?"

Da Niu put down her newspaper, rocked Coco's cradle, and said, "Hmm, sister, you're back. Is Uncle Da Hui really going to marry Ou Zhiqing?"

Even though Da Niu doesn't go out much, she knows quite a bit about what's happening outside.

In the morning, she heard her grandmother say that Aunt Lin was going to propose marriage to Uncle Dahui today.

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, the gifts have already been given."

Da Niu thought the two were a good match. Although Uncle Da Hui was a countryman and Ou Zhiqing was a city person, they were both very good-looking.

Da Niu once saw them walking together; they were a handsome couple.

In addition, she knew that her sister Lin Yu and Uncle Da Hui would go to the county town to sell things to earn money, so Uncle Da Hui was actually not poor.

"Then I'll wish them well next time I see them."

Lin Yu patted her head and thought her little sister was very cute.

"By the way, Da Niu, I need to talk to you." Lin Yu whispered in Da Niu's ear for a long time.

The girl hesitated, "Is it really okay?"

Lin Yu confidently stated, "It's possible. You can try it. If it doesn't work, no one will know. I won't tell anyone."

Seeing her expectant look, Da Niu had no choice but to nod and agree.

Lin Yu hugged her happily, "Big girl, you're amazing, I'm counting on you."

Da Niu was sensible and obedient from a young age. Her parents were not good at expressing love, so she was rarely hugged.

She never expected her sister to praise her and even hug her.

The older girl felt that her sister's embrace was so warm and fragrant, and she was very touched.

Seemingly inspired by the hug, she was immediately filled with confidence and motivation.

So after finishing the meal and returning Coco to her sister-in-law, Da Niu ran into the house and rummaged through the pile of newspapers.

I picked out some, sat down under the light, and started looking at them.

Wang Zhaodi felt that her daughter had been acting differently lately. Although she was usually quiet, she always seemed a bit dull.

Now he's full of energy all day long, and he gets excited even when he's just reading a newspaper.

But she wasn't very concerned about Da Niu, so she just glanced at her a few times and let her be.

Wang Zhaodi's heart aches whenever she thinks about going to high school and the money it will cost.

If it weren't for wanting to please Lin Yu, she wouldn't want her eldest daughter to go to school.

Now that I can't go to university, what's the point of going to high school?

Besides, the eldest daughter isn't particularly bright; she didn't even pass her first exam...

The eldest daughter, whom Wang Zhaodi disliked for not being smart, was now preoccupied with the tasks her older sister had assigned her, and had no time to care about her mother's opinion.

...

The family was overjoyed to learn that Lin Yi had made the seedling planter and that it would be available for everyone to use the next day.
