Chapter 401 The Weight on Shoulders

Seeing how enthusiastic people were, Qin Shusen reminded them, "First of all, if we sign the agreement, we will have to grow vegetables according to the requirements of Xiayang Food Company, including how to grow vegetables in the greenhouse, when to grow vegetables, what vegetables to grow, and how to manage them. Xiayang will provide us with technical personnel, so you rough guys can't mess around."

These are all in the agreement. Qin Shusen has already read the agreement. He is reminding them now to avoid a commotion during the signing process, where no one would sign without reading the agreement carefully, which would cause trouble again.

"Don't worry, Village Chief. Although we have been growing vegetables all our lives, this is the first time we have heard of greenhouse vegetables. We will definitely listen to Mr. Lin."

"It's the village chief. Don't even mention doing something we don't understand. Mr. Lin told us to hang the watermelons up for planting, so I'll do it."

Lin Chuxia touched her nose uncomfortably. It turned out that watermelons in later generations were actually grown by hanging.

The village chief was delighted when he heard the villagers' opinions. "It's settled then. You are all old now, so you have to keep your word. If you really don't obey me, don't blame me for turning against you. I won't bring you with me next year."

"That can't be possible."

"Yes, absolutely not."

Someone has already paid the money, so just let them farm. Isn't that just what they do?

At that time, they don’t have to worry about selling vegetables, they just have to wait to count the money. What’s there for them to be dissatisfied about?

As for the issue of losing money, most villagers never even thought about it.

What a joke. Can you lose money by following General Lin?

Even if the village chief reminded them of the risks, those people had already thought it through and the worst that could happen was that they would not make any money.

The investment money was all provided by Mr. Lin, so they were just working for nothing. Even if it was all in vain, it would be an honor to tell others about it if they could work for Mr. Lin for a year.

………………

With these people taking the lead, things will go more smoothly afterwards.

Several other village cadres, led by the accountant, and the three brothers of the Qin family, all joined the team to sign the agreement.

The village chief had a list of people in charge, and the villagers who had signed the agreement signed their names with him and also put their fingerprints on them.

Lin Chuxia didn't understand the significance of the village chief's actions at first. After the villagers signed the agreement, the village chief handed her a list of names with signatures in various fonts and covered with red handprints of all sizes.

At that moment, Lin Chuxia truly felt the weight on her shoulders.

"Xiao Lin, you will be the one keeping this list of names. This is the hope of the 512 households in Qinjia Village."

Lin Chuxia's eyes suddenly felt hot, and she solemnly took the list with both hands, "Don't worry, Village Chief, I will do my best on this matter and will not let the villagers down."

512 households, almost all the villagers in Qinjia Village.

Qin Han felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the people in Qinjia Village to be so united."

Qin Shusen laughed when he heard this. "To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so smooth. In the end, you guys, Xiaolin, have great influence in the hearts of the people in our Qinjia Village."

The previous Xiayang Food Factory and the later chicken farm and pig farm, which one did not provide benefits to the folks in Qinjia Village?

Now, in the hearts of the old folks of Qinjia Village, these people of the Qin family are more important than him, the village chief.

Lin Chuxia smiled modestly, "Uncle Qin, you are the leader. Without good leadership, even the most active villagers will be in disarray."

After the routine business compliments, everyone felt more or less at ease.

With the support of the villagers, this matter has successfully taken the first and most important step.

It is the beginning of spring now, and although the weather is still cold, it is time to start planting early spring vegetables in greenhouses.

Several people sat together again and discussed the preliminary construction of the vegetable greenhouse and the subsequent related details.

Things will be much easier if the villagers are willing to follow instructions.

Lin Chuxia also felt that the village chief still had some influence as the team leader. Not to mention his strong execution ability when it came to ringing the bell to go to work, in a word, most of the villagers would not object to anything he asked them to do.

Finally, the village chief asked Lin Chuxia for her opinion, "Is there anything you need support from the village? What do you need me to do? Just tell me."

This question really hit the nail on the head for Lin Chuxia. She smiled slightly and said, "I do have some requests."

Qin Shusen immediately sat up straight, "You say."

"I want my uncle to grant me another piece of land. It doesn't need to be too big, just the size of five or six rooms. I need a bigger yard so I can build a farm supply store as soon as possible."

This was no problem for Qin Shusen. "Okay, how about the area behind Xiayang Food Factory on the east side of the village? Although that area is a pit, the pit is not deep. Cut down the trees above and fill the pit. Not only five or six rooms, but there are also places for ten rooms."

Lin Chuxia thought about that position, don’t mention it, after all, he is the village chief.

The location is adjacent to the main street and on the edge of the village, making it a perfect place to open a shop.

Not to mention the villagers of Qinjia Village, if we really open a store, it will be convenient for the villagers nearby to come and buy things.

"If uncle says it's okay, then I'll find someone to do it when I get back. Let's open the store first, and then we can build a greenhouse and use things conveniently."

"I will ask the villagers to help you fill the hole tomorrow. I don't understand the store's affairs, so I won't get involved with you."

This makes it clear that the village will not compete with her for the ownership of the store. The store is hers and the house is also hers.

Lin Chuxia felt amused. The village chief had already made the deal with her.

……………………

When we returned, it was already getting dark.

The villagers who signed the agreement have already returned home one after another.

However, on the way back, I still saw people strolling and chatting in the village, and they were all talking about vegetable greenhouses.

Lin Chuxia and Zhang Guilan walked home side by side.

Zhang Guilan had been listening in the crowd. Although today's events had nothing to do with her, she just wanted to see the scene.

At this moment, my heart is still full of passion, and I sigh that it is a good thing that my sister-in-law had agreed with the man to let him manage the agricultural supply store.

Otherwise, if Qin Han saw this scene today, he would have to stay in seclusion for many days.

Lin Chuxia looked up and saw a person not far away.

As if he saw them coming, he lowered his head and quickly walked into the yard, then closed the door.

But she had already seen that the man was Qin Wen.

In fact, she saw Qin Wen when the villagers' meeting was held just now.

Having not seen him for half a year, Lin Chuxia almost didn't recognize him.

He has lost a lot of weight, probably because of working in the fields every day and being exposed to the wind and sun, and he has become a lot darker.

Most importantly, the sense of superiority that a formal worker had before is no longer seen in him.

He was hunched over and looked much older than his peers.

Zhang Guilan also saw Qin Wen and lowered her voice to Lin Chuxia, "He has high aspirations but a thin life. I don't know why he has been arguing with our second brother. Is he more knowledgeable or more capable than the second brother? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, but he has to make things difficult for himself."
