"If anyone dares to cause trouble or disturb Xiaofeng's family, then none of us can play anymore!"

Lin Jindong tapped the floor with his cane, making a loud thud: "I'll have Xiaofeng take the money and leave our Paishitou Village. Let him go wherever he wants, just don't come back to Paishitou Village."

"This 100,000 yuan is enough to get the whole family urban residency!"

In 1992, having an urban household registration was still highly desirable.

When the villagers present heard Lin Jindong suggest that Lin Yifeng's family take the money and leave Paishitou Village, their expressions all changed.

For many villagers, obtaining a scholarship is something they are determined to get.

Many villagers have even started planning how to use the scholarship money.

If Lin Yifeng leaves Shitou Village at this point and completely stops interacting with them...

That....

"Anyone who disagrees with the allocation of wasteland is a sworn enemy of the people of Paishitou Village!"

"That's right, Xiaofeng has already made such a huge sacrifice, what's wrong with letting you allocate the wasteland?"

"I don't know anything, but if anyone doesn't let Xiaofeng give my child a scholarship, I'll kill them!"

"Village chief, I support you!"

Money isn't everything.

But money can make the devil turn the millstone.

The villagers may not know what 100,000 means.

But they knew that if Lin Yifeng really stopped playing with them and left Paishi Village with his whole family...

Then their child's monthly stipend of over 20 yuan will be completely gone.

Faced with their own interests, the villagers spontaneously united.

...

The issue of the wasteland is quite simple to resolve.

All you need to do is use incentives to get the villagers on board.

They refused to agree to allocate the wasteland?

Yes, absolutely no problem.

First, revoke your child's eligibility for financial aid!

For the villagers, student grants are a matter of life and death.

A student can receive a stipend of more than 20 yuan a month.

How much money can you make farming barren land for a year?

Wasteland is called wasteland because it yields poor harvests of grain.

Land like this doesn't generate much income.

Three days after Lin Yifeng returned from Paishitou Village for the third time, Lin Jindong came to his door and told him that the address of the new school in Paishitou Village had been negotiated and that Lin Yifeng could start building the new school at any time.

"Has the wasteland issue been resolved?"

Lin Yifeng immediately led a group of people to inspect the wasteland south of the village.

In early July, the weather in the mountains was still very cool.

Lam Yat-fung was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and unusually, he wasn't wearing casual shoes or sneakers, but rather slippers.

He looks a bit like a handsome young man collecting rent in Guangdong and Guangxi, wearing shorts and slippers, with no regard for his image.

Fortunately, Lam Yat-fung is handsome.

Even dressed like that, Bai Yejin's gaze remained fixed on him.

The wasteland south of the village is situated on a terraced field, covering approximately six acres.

This land originally belonged to the two Zhao brothers and was planted with peanuts. However, the village of Paishitou has redistributed wasteland, and the Zhao brothers' wasteland was allocated to another location. This land is now the site of the new school.

The two Zhao brothers are currently digging peanuts. They are wearing straw hats, facing the wasteland with their backs to the sky, and sweat is constantly dripping from their foreheads.

The wasteland is no longer my own.

But peanuts still are.

Peanuts from Paishi Village are harvested twice a year.

Peanuts planted in early spring mature by the end of June or the beginning of July.

Peanuts planted in late spring do not mature until September or even October.

The two Zhao brothers were quite hardworking. They planted peanuts in early spring, and after the peanuts were harvested, they would plant some winter melons and cabbages on the wasteland. One type would be eaten in August and September, and the other type would be eaten until the following year.

After Lin Yifeng arrived at the wasteland with a large group of people, the two Zhao brothers had already harvested more than half of the peanuts.

"Brother Lu, Brother Qi, why don't you take a picture of these two brothers?"

Lin Yifeng said to Brother Lu and Brother Qi, who were holding cameras.

These two people are reporters from the Zhongyuan Daily. A few days ago, they followed Lin Yifeng to Paishitou Village and stayed there briefly.

These two are special correspondents. Their mission is to film the groundbreaking ceremony for the Hope Primary School in Shitou Village. They will not return to the newspaper office until the ceremony begins.

These days, reporters are extremely important media resources. Lin Yifeng spent a lot of money to get reporters from the Chung Yuan Daily to appear and take photos.

"Okay!"

Brother Lu has a short buzz cut, is not tall, and has a very honest and simple smile.

When he introduced himself, he said that he also came from a rural background, his hometown was on the Loess Plateau, and he had a natural affinity for farmers and mountains.

When Guo Fengsheng went to the Central Plains Daily to negotiate, he volunteered to come and film and report on Shitou Village.

Another guy, Qi, has long hair and a somewhat artsy middle-aged vibe. He was initially quite dissatisfied with the trip, but Lin Yifeng offered him a lot, so Qi, who had a sour face at first, now has a very bright smile.

Blue sky, white clouds, yellow earth, and hardworking farmers.

If this composition had been placed in the 1950s or 60s, it would have been absolutely politically correct, and publishing it in the newspaper would have certainly been rewarded.

But in the 1990s, such a scene was unlikely to resonate with the public!

Brother Lu and Brother Qi took photos of the two Zhao brothers. Lin Yifeng stood at a distance and did not enter the terraced fields to disturb the Zhao brothers' peanut harvest. Instead, he smiled and spoke to Bai Yejin.

"Which way do you think the school gate should face?"
