"Definitely! Definitely!"

Factory Director Liu nodded repeatedly.

"I'll supervise it myself!"

The next morning.

Su Jianguo then took a tractor back to Sujiatun.

Su Jianjun was driving; he had specially driven over to pick up Su Jianguo.

The two brothers discussed their plans to expand the greenhouse along the way.

"Brother, I've checked all four hilltops."

Su Jianjun spoke loudly, his voice drowning out the roar of the tractor.

"The easternmost part is the flattest and most suitable for development first."

Su Jianguo nodded.

"Let's go check out the east end first."

The tractor bumped along the rugged mountain road.

Soon, the two brothers arrived at Dongshan.

Dongshan is a gentle slope, covering an area of ​​about 80 acres. The terrain is relatively flat, with only a few low mounds.

Su Jianguo jumped off the tractor, stepped onto the soft soil, walked to a higher place, and looked around.

"Thirty greenhouses can be built here."

He pointed to the large open space in front of him.

"Each greenhouse occupies one acre, arranged in three rows with a passageway in the middle."

Su Jianjun followed, holding a notebook and pencil, and was carefully drawing a sketch.

"Brother, how wide should the passageway be?"

"Three meters, to make it easier for tractors to get in and out."

Su Jianguo thought about it.

"Sufficient spacing must be maintained between the greenhouses; they cannot be too close together."

The two brothers walked and planned, with Su Jianjun jotting down dimensions and data in his notebook from time to time.

When he reached the middle of the hillside, Su Jianguo stopped and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, bro?"

Su Jianjun asked.

"Irrigation is a problem."

Su Jianguo squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and kneaded it.

"This place is too far from a water source; the water consumption for a hundred greenhouses is considerable."

Su Jianjun also squatted down, his expression turning serious.

"Yes, before, with ten greenhouses, we could carry water by hand. But with a hundred..."

He shook his head.

"We simply can't handle the workload with just manpower."

Su Jianguo stood up and looked into the distance.

The four hills are connected, offering a wide view, but there is no sign of a river or large pond.

The nearest irrigation canal is at the foot of the mountain two kilometers away, and its water volume is very limited.

"We need to find a way to solve the water problem."

Su Jianguo muttered to himself.

"How about we dig a well?"

Su Jianjun made the suggestion.

"Drilling a well..."

Su Jianguo pondered.

"Drilling wells on all four hilltops would be too costly, and the water output might not be sufficient."

The two brothers fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, Su Jianjun suddenly spoke.

"Brother, I have an idea. Do you remember that abandoned reservoir behind Beishan Mountain?"

Su Jianguo's eyes lit up.

"You mean the one built during the commune era?"

"right!"

Su Jianjun said excitedly.

"Although that reservoir has fallen into disrepair over the years, its foundation is still intact. If we can repair it and dig an irrigation canal..."

Su Jianguo patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

"Great idea! Let's go check out that reservoir tomorrow."

When Su Jianguo and his companion returned to the village.

The plan for one hundred greenhouses has already taken shape.

Su Jianguo has made use of the flattened areas of the four barren mountains.

Just now, we could barely build a hundred greenhouses.

However, the irrigation problem must be solved no matter what.

The water consumption of hundreds of greenhouses cannot be solved by manpower alone.

As soon as the two returned to Sujiatun, many villagers came up to them.

"Building a nation."

An old man asked in a loud voice.

"I heard you're planning to expand your vegetable greenhouses? How big of a business are you going to run?"

Before Su Jianguo could answer.

Su Jianjun had already stopped the tractor in response.

"Really, Uncle Li! My brother is planning to build a hundred greenhouses!"

"One hundred?"

The old man's eyes widened.

"That would require so many people!"

Other villagers also gathered around, asking questions all at once.

"Wow, we've made money! We're going to build a hundred of them!!"

"Hey, Jianguo, how's his salary calculated?"

"Do you need long-term or temporary workers?"

What vegetables are you planting this time?

"My family also has a few acres of land, could we build a greenhouse there too?"

The scene was gradually becoming chaotic.

Su Jianguo immediately stood up from the tractor and said loudly.

"Don't worry, folks. Once the greenhouses are built, we'll definitely give priority to hiring people from our village! Wages will be paid monthly, no delays whatsoever!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers cheered.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire village.

When Su Jianguo returned to the old house, the courtyard was already crowded with villagers who had come to inquire about job openings.

Grandpa Su sat at the entrance of the main room, watching this scene with a smile.

"Building a nation."

The old man puffed on his pipe, squinting as he spoke.

"You're going to bring about a huge change to Sujiatun!"

Su Jianguo smiled but didn't say anything.

Looking at the expectant faces in the courtyard, he felt both pressure and motivation.

One hundred greenhouses are just the beginning; there is still a long way to go.
