As dawn broke through the thin clouds, it gently bathed every inch of the village, adding even more vitality to the village immersed in the joy of harvest. The bumper harvest of the new crops gave the villagers a taste of commercial success, but Lin Yue knew in her heart that this was just the beginning. To go further on the road of commercial development, improving yield and quality was the key, and this required technological improvements and professional training for the villagers.

Lin Yue stood by her window, gazing at the vast expanse of newly planted fields in the distance, her eyes revealing determination and deep thought. She knew this training was of great importance, concerning the future development of the entire village. She wore a light blue cotton shirt, the hem slightly wrinkled, a mark of her busy work over the past few days. Her hair was simply tied in a ponytail, a few stray strands falling on either side of her face, further emphasizing her capable demeanor. She frowned slightly, her mind constantly considering the content and methods of the training—how could she ensure the villagers better understood and mastered the new planting techniques?

Chen Yu entered the room and saw Lin Yue's focused expression. He gently walked to her side and placed a cup of hot water on the table. "Yue'er, don't overwork yourself. We'll take this training step by step; we'll definitely be fine." His voice was steady and warm, carrying a reassuring strength. Chen Yu wore a dark work jacket over an old white T-shirt, the outline of his strong muscles faintly visible beneath the fabric. His face was tanned a healthy bronze by the sun, and his deep eyes, like a tranquil night sky, shone with concerned light.

Lin Yue turned to look at Chen Yu, a slight smile playing on her lips, but a hint of worry lingered beneath. "This training can't be taken lightly. The new planting techniques are quite complex, and the villagers might have difficulty understanding them. We need to find a way to make sure everyone can understand." She picked up her water glass, took a sip, and her eyes were full of seriousness about the training.

After breakfast, Lin Yue and Chen Yu arrived at the village square, where many villagers had already gathered. Everyone knew that today they would begin learning new planting techniques, and their faces were filled with curiosity and anticipation. The village chief stood on a makeshift platform and, seeing Lin Yue and Chen Yu arrive, raised his voice, saying, "Folks, today we're going to start learning new planting techniques! This is related to our future harvest and our lives, so everyone must listen carefully! Lin Yue, you go ahead and tell us." The village chief's eyes were full of trust, and his weathered face radiated hope for the village's future.

Lin Yue stepped onto the podium, looked at the familiar faces below, took a deep breath, and began to speak: "Fellow villagers, our bumper harvest this year is all thanks to everyone's hard work. However, we cannot be complacent. To make our harvest even better, we must learn new planting techniques. These techniques will allow our new crops to yield higher quantities, be of better quality, and sell for more money." Her voice was clear and resonant, her eyes intently scanning each villager, trying to convey her enthusiasm to everyone.

A young villager raised his hand and asked loudly, "Sister Lin Yue, will the new technology be difficult? Can we learn it?" A hint of worry was in his eyes. He scratched his head and looked at the villagers around him.

Lin Yue smiled and replied, "It might seem a little difficult at first, but as long as everyone learns diligently, it will definitely be fine. Today, we'll start with the most basic soil fertility management. As you all know, soil is like the home of new crops; only with sufficient fertility can new crops grow well." She then picked up a soil sample and showed it to the villagers. "You see, this fertile soil is darker in color and softer in texture, containing abundant nutrients. We need to learn how to test soil fertility and fertilize according to the results." As she explained, she pinched some soil with her fingers to make it clearer for the villagers.

At this moment, Old Zhang, an experienced farmer in the village, frowned and said, "We've been farming for so many years, fertilizing based on experience, and we've grown the land just fine, haven't we? Why bother with all this trouble of testing fertility?" His tone was tinged with doubt, his arms were crossed over his chest, and his eyes revealed his stubbornness.

Lin Yue patiently explained, "Uncle Zhang, your experience is indeed very valuable, but the new crops are different from before. The new planting techniques are based on scientific research. Testing soil fertility allows us to fertilize more precisely, avoiding waste and ensuring the new crops absorb more suitable nutrients. This not only increases yield but also guarantees quality." Her eyes were full of respect as she looked at Uncle Zhang, hoping he would understand.

After listening to Lin Yue's explanation, Grandpa Zhang pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Hmm, you're right. It seems I really need to learn this new gadget properly." His expression gradually softened, and he lowered his arms, listening attentively to Lin Yue's explanation.

Seeing the change in Grandpa Zhang's attitude, Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She continued, "Besides soil fertility, irrigation is also a crucial factor. We can no longer water haphazardly as before; we must irrigate appropriately based on the growth stage of the new crop and the weather conditions." She picked up a simple irrigation model and demonstrated to the villagers the water requirements for new crops at different growth stages. "For example, when new crops are sprouting, the soil should be kept moist, but not waterlogged, otherwise the seeds will rot. During the vigorous growth period, the amount of water can be increased appropriately, but we must also pay attention to drainage to prevent root rot." She demonstrated the model as she spoke, making it easier for the villagers to understand.

During her explanation, Lin Yue noticed some villagers looking confused. She stepped down from the podium, went among the villagers, picked up the model, and patiently explained again. "Look, this valve controls the water flow, just like we control the amount of irrigation water in the fields. If there's too much water, like this..." She opened the valve wide, and the water in the model began to overflow, "and the new crops will drown. If there's too little water, the new crops will lack water and won't grow well." She adjusted the valve, reducing the water flow to demonstrate the situation of water shortage.
