Winter goes and spring comes.

After late March, the temperature began to gradually warm up.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival has completely faded, the children have started going to school, and the workers have gone out.

Farmers who used to make a living from working in the fields at home also started to work in the fields.

This time is the golden planting period for major crops such as early rice and corn.

This year, Chen Wang still entrusted Lao Qiao to help with planting the few acres of his own land. Chen Wang had already talked to Lao Qiao about this after the Spring Festival.

Old Qiao was naturally very happy about this. After all, the land of the two families were adjacent to each other. If the couple put in a little more effort, they could earn more income for the family. Why not?

Chen Wang’s wages were generous enough, and after the crops were harvested last year, Chen Wang also gave Lao Qiao 20% as a reward.

Moreover, after Qiao Zhijie reformed himself, he also went to the fields to help with work at home, and it was not difficult for him to plant a few more acres of land.

During this period, Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang occasionally went to the mountains to hunt.

We didn't gain much, but we caught quite a few pheasants and rabbits, and also brought back two wild boars, so there was no shortage of meat at home.

Most of the time, Chen Wang still stays at home with his wife and children. Sometimes when he wants to eat fish, he will not go to find Lao Mo, but go fishing by himself by the river.

At around 2:00 p.m. that day, a Jiefang brand truck drove into Chenjia Village.

The whole village immediately became lively.

Soon, the car stopped at the open space near the village ancestral hall.

Chen Wang was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, holding the little guy and playing with him. The little girl was also playing with Jixiang Ruyi and the little monkey next to them.

Suddenly, there were a few children shouting outside.

"Xiaoyu, come out and play, there's a big truck coming."

"Xiaoyu, the village chief asked your brother to go to the ancestral hall!"

"Brother Awang, someone is coming to see you in a big car."

…

Chen Wang and the little girl in the yard both looked confused.

"Brother, it's Erniu calling you!"

The little girl stood up and said.

Chen Wang suddenly thought of something and nodded, "You go out first, I'll be there soon."

After saying that, he stood up and carried the little guy into the house.

The little girl ran outside in a hurry and asked her friends what had happened.

When Chen Wang walked out of the yard, the little guys were chattering like a group of sparrows, and they huddled together but couldn't explain what was going on clearly.

"Okay, okay, are you here to deliver the medicinal herb seedlings?"

Chen Wang asked directly.

"Yes, Brother Wang, the car is full of seedlings. The village chief asked us to come and call you over."

Erniu answered with her head tilted back.

"Okay, let's go!"

Chen Wang nodded and walked quickly towards the ancestral hall with a group of little kids.

When he arrived, he found that the car was surrounded by villagers who were having a heated discussion.

The village chief Chen Jianguo was standing with a middle-aged man, smoking and chatting. It seemed that he was the driver.

"Awang!"

"Awang is here..."

Some villagers saw Chen Wang, and all their eyes turned to him at once.

"Brother Wang!"

Wang Yuehua shouted with a smile.

Chen Zhiyong and Chen Dazhuang were also there.

Chen Wang smiled and nodded, then walked towards the village chief.

"village head."

"Awang, you are finally here. This is Master Zheng who drove here to deliver the seedlings."

"Hello!"

Chen Wang greeted him, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed it to the driver.

"No, no, no, I have it!"

Master Zheng smiled and wanted to refuse, pointing to the cigarette in his hand.

"You've come all this way, thank you for your hard work. Take it!"

Chen Wang stuffed it directly into his shirt pocket.

Seeing this, Master Zheng smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you!"

"Village Chief, since the seedlings have been delivered, please distribute them to everyone immediately. Why are you waiting for me to come?"

Chen Wang looked at the village chief in surprise and said.

"You are the one who contacted the supplier. They will only deliver the goods after they see you and confirm and sign."

The village chief explained with a smile.

"Yes, this is a necessary step to avoid any problems. I can also go back and give an explanation."

Master Zheng agreed and took out a list and a pen from his pocket and handed them to him.

"Please sign it."

"OK!"

Chen Wang thought about it and it made sense. He took the receipt and pen, glanced at them casually, and signed his name after confirming that they were correct.

"Okay, thank you, you can unload now."

Master Zheng took the list, folded it up and put it away, then went over and lowered the fender at the rear of the car.

The village chief immediately organized people to move the seedlings down and put them together.

There were so many young people from the surrounding villages who were free labor and they were all very enthusiastic to help.

"Be careful, be gentle, don't damage the seedlings."

The village chief shouted loudly.

With strength in numbers, all the goods on the truck were unloaded quickly.

Chen Wang gave the money for ordering seedlings to Xu Tiancheng, which was also collected by the village chief from the villagers.

If the quantity is large, door-to-door delivery is a free service, and naturally there is no need to pay the driver.

After saying goodbye, Master Zheng turned the car around and left.

A group of children followed the car, and some wanted to jump on it and hold on for a while.

Seeing this, some parents shouted angrily, rushed up and grabbed the children's ears or spanked them on the buttocks. The naughty children cried and screamed, and the scene was very lively.

Here, the village chief took out a small notebook, called out the names recorded in it, and then received the seedlings one by one in an orderly manner.

It clearly states how many seedlings each family ordered, how much money they paid, or how much money they still owe.

Chen Jianguo is highly respected in the village. Having served as the village chief for 20 to 30 years, he can be said to have a handle on matters like these.

Some people felt that the seedlings they received were not good enough and clamored to be replaced, but the village chief glared at them and they immediately stopped doing anything.

By the evening, all the villagers' seedlings had been divided, and the largest portion left on the ground belonged to Chen Wang.

The required seedlings for one hundred acres of land piled up into a small hill.

"Everyone should find a way to quickly get the seedlings back and remember to store them in a cool place. Try to plant them in the next two days."

The village chief gave orders loudly.

Everyone responded.

Chen Wang felt a little headache when he saw the seedlings piled up like a small mountain.

"Awang, go find Lao Qian and borrow a cart."

Chen Dazhuang suddenly made a suggestion.

Chen Wang's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Good idea."

"I'll go, you guys help me watch it."

Chen Dazhuang volunteered.

"Okay, then go ahead and I'll watch over you."

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Chen Dazhuang took a step and ran towards the village entrance.

"Brother Wang, have you hired anyone to help grow these herbs?"

Wang Yuehua asked.
