Chapter 150 The Village Chief Has Foresight
Tu Subo nodded and forced a smile: "Thank you, Gu Yuexuan. I know you have always cared about me."
The atmosphere between the two gradually eased, but Tu Subo still felt a little unhappy. He secretly told himself that it was just a little joke and not to take it to heart.
At night, Tu Subo sat alone in the stable, his mind filled with confusion. He couldn't help but pick up the pen and ink on the table and wrote a poem:
What is the saddest thing in the world?
There is nothing worse than being misled by others for your whole life.
A beardless mouth makes one work harder.
It turned out to be just a joke.
After finishing the poem, Tu Subo sighed deeply, feeling even more depressed. At this moment, Gu Yuexuan pushed the door open and came in. Seeing the poem on the table, she was stunned.
"Tu Subo, what do you mean?" Gu Yuexuan asked.
Tu Subo raised his head and looked at her with complicated eyes: "Gu Yuexuan, I know you mean no harm, but this sentence really makes me uncomfortable. I have been working hard to become a talented and responsible person, but your joke makes me start to doubt myself."
A trace of guilt flashed in Gu Yuexuan's eyes. She walked over to Tu Subo and gently held his hand: "Tu Subo, I'm sorry. I didn't expect my joke would cause you so much trouble. From now on, I will never make such a joke again."
Tu Subo looked at Gu Yuexuan with mixed feelings.
Gu Yuexuan didn't mean to hurt him, it was just that sometimes she took her jokes too far. He sighed and said, "Forget it, let's just let it go. I just hope that we can understand each other better in the future."
Gu Yuexuan nodded, her eyes full of apology: "Well, I will try my best to correct it."
At this time, the old grandfather came running up and said to the village chief with a smile: "Oh, village chief, you've come just in time. The food at home will be served soon. Why don't we all go back and eat first? We can talk about anything after dinner."
The village chief looked at the old grandfather, frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "Grandfather, I appreciate your kindness, but there are indeed things at home that we are waiting for. I came here today mainly to ask Yuexuan some questions."
Upon hearing this, the grandfather turned his gaze to Gu Yuexuan. Seeing the greenhouse behind her gleaming in the sunlight, a hint of curiosity arose in his heart. He turned to the village chief and said, "Well, in that case, let's hear Xuanxuan's opinion first. I'm also curious about this greenhouse. Can rice be grown there? And whether it can be planted before spring? I'd like to ask for your advice."
Gu Yuexuan looked at the village chief and grandfather, smiled slightly, and said, "Village chief, grandfather, I'm actually quite confident about this greenhouse. Theoretically, it can be used to grow rice. However, since the climate and geographical conditions here are different from those in the Central Plains, we need to conduct experiments first to see if we can adapt."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked, "Then will planting in the greenhouse before spring also work?"
Gu Yuexuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Planting before spring is theoretically feasible. However, we need to consider factors such as temperature and humidity to ensure that the rice seedlings can safely survive the winter. If the experiment is successful, then we can plant before the spring. That way, when the harvest season comes, we can harvest earlier and provide more food for the villagers."
Upon hearing this, the old village chief's eyes flashed with joy, and he clapped his hands, saying, "Okay, okay, if that's the case, then let's give it a try. Yuexuan, if you need any help from the village, just let us know. We will definitely give you our full support."
Gu Yuexuan looked at the village chief and said gratefully, "Thank you, village chief. I will. During the experiment, I may need some villagers' help. I hope you can take care of me."
The village chief smiled cheerfully, "Don't worry, Yuexuan! As long as you tell us, we will definitely do our best. This is a matter of great importance to the entire village, and we can't take it lightly."
As they were talking, everyone came to the greenhouse.
Gu Yuexuan pointed out the facilities within the greenhouse and explained them one by one to the village chief and the old grandfather. She explained them in detail, and they listened attentively. The greenhouse had a perfect temperature and humidity, and sunlight filtered through the plastic film onto the land, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
The village chief looked at the scene in the greenhouse and marveled in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that this small greenhouse could have such a big effect. Gu Yuexuan, you are really talented."
Gu Yuexuan smiled slightly and said, "Village Chief, you are too kind. I just want to do something for the villagers, which will benefit both myself and others."
The village chief hesitated for a moment, then said to Gu Yuexuan seriously, "Miss Gu, if your land can produce high-quality rice, can I give mine a try?"
Gu Yuexuan smiled slightly, a glint of certainty flashing in her eyes. "Of course, Village Chief. Although the nature of the land is different, as long as it is suitable, high-quality rice can also grow well in our Yuanqian Village."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's eyes flashed with joy, but then became puzzled. "Then may I ask, Miss Gu, could you please teach me a thing or two about greenhouse construction and planting? I'm willing to learn diligently so that the villagers can also live a better life."
Gu Yuexuan nodded gently, her expression sincere. "Village Chief, I'm willing to teach you what I know. We can start by building a greenhouse, and then slowly learn planting techniques. I can also give you some high-quality rice varieties for experimentation."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's surprise was beyond words. He stared at Gu Yuexuan with wide eyes, as if he had seen a savior. "Miss Gu, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. But may I ask where this high-quality rice comes from?"
Gu Yuexuan's eyes rolled around and she smiled slightly: "This is the achievement left by my father, and I have always treasured it. Now that I have the opportunity to help the villagers, of course I am willing to contribute it."
Gu Yuexuan paused, looking at the village chief with eager eyes, and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief. I'm willing to help you build the greenhouse, and I'd also like to take this opportunity to help you plow the land. I believe in your foresight, and your considerations are always so profound. You are worthy of my trust."
As the village chief listened, the wrinkles on his face gradually smoothed out, and a glimmer of hope shone in his eyes. He laughed, his voice full of confidence: "Okay, okay, I knew you were a caring child. I've decided on the greenhouse. With your help, I'm even more confident."
He slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "Miss Gu, don't worry, I will study hard and live up to your expectations. As for the expenses, don't worry, I will cover all the expenses."
Gu Yuexuan shook her head gently: "Village Chief, you don't have to worry about the expenses. As long as I can help the villagers live a good life, I am willing to do my best."
Tears of gratitude welled up in the village chief's eyes. He bowed deeply and said, "Miss Gu, I want to repay your generosity. From now on, if you need anything, just ask and I will do my best."
Gu Yuexuan quickly helped the village chief up and said with a smile, "Village chief, you're too kind. We are all family, and it's only natural for us to help each other. By the way, regarding the construction of the greenhouse, we need to prepare some materials, such as bamboo, hemp rope, plastic film, etc. Can you arrange for the villagers to prepare them?"
