There's no other way; someone has to take on this responsibility!
So, Xiao Changsuo, the village chief who had never set foot in the fields since the production team era, had no choice but to start tending to the few crops he had left in the fields again.
As for the reasons, firstly, Xiao Changsuo is getting old and his health is deteriorating day by day. Even walking is extremely difficult for him. How could he have the extra energy to work hard in the fields and dig for food?
Secondly, he's simply not cut out for farming. Over the years, he still hasn't figured out how to grow crops.

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Xiao Lian suddenly seemed to remember something, slightly toned down his arrogant attitude, and said impatiently.
