Chapter 137 Land Selection



Since they were going to the provincial capital to participate in the semi-finals, they had to be fully prepared, and their reports had to be more detailed in case the judges asked other questions.

Su Qingyun and Ji Yue were making preparations in an orderly manner, but she first received the news that the proposal to make Luoshui Village a wheat seed testing site was approved, and she was a little surprised.

After a period of visits, investigations and field surveys, the inspection team headed by Qi Chu finally selected eight places in Luoshui County as test sites, one of which was Luoshui Village.

Now that the test site has been determined, Su Qingyun's decision to go to the test site to help has basically been finalized. In fact, she is also quite interested in it, and being able to participate in the work is also an opportunity to learn.

Qin Youfu was overjoyed after receiving the notice and immediately began to prepare in the village. Since a test site was to be set up, land had to be allocated first. The soil in Luoshui Village was very good. In order to respect the wishes of the villagers, the inspection team allowed Luoshui Village to decide on its own how to allocate the land needed for the test site.

A total of three pieces of land are needed, one piece each at the head, middle and end of the village. After thinking it over again and again, Qin Youfu decided to first seek the opinions of the villagers on which of these three places to allocate land.

Although the land is owned by the state, it is closely related to everyone. Everyone has different responsibilities when working, which is related to the issue of work points, which is extremely important.

Although they are now working in groups, in order to prevent people from being lazy, Qin Youfu initially assigned land to each family based on the amount of labor in each family and the size of each plot of land. This not only makes management easier, but also allows the person in charge to be found as quickly as possible in the event of an unexpected situation.

Qin Youfu simply convened a village meeting to discuss the matter. Looking at the densely packed audience, he announced, "I've gathered everyone here today. I'm sure you all know why. Luoshui Village has officially become one of the wheat seed trial sites. This is all thanks to everyone's hard work. Let's congratulate ourselves first."

After saying that, he led the applause and the villagers were very excited.

Putting aside the other benefits of this experimental site, the fact that Luoshui Village was able to compete with so many villages and win this opportunity is an honor in itself.

"The leaders over there said they want to set aside a piece of land at the beginning, middle, and end of our village. Does anyone have any good suggestions?"

Qin Youfu looked at everyone. They went to the fields every day and were the people who knew this land best.

The villagers frowned and thought for a moment, then someone asked, "Captain, I'd like to ask first, if the land we're responsible for is designated as a testing site, will we be reassigned somewhere else?"

Qin Youfu shook his head. "I've already asked the leaders there about this question. They said that if a piece of land is expropriated, the villagers responsible for that land will become their assistants and help them. Of course, they will receive some corresponding subsidies."

"What subsidy?" someone immediately asked with shining eyes.

"We'll get more when we distribute food at the end of the year." Qin Youfu had already found out about this.

When the villagers heard this, they were even more excited. Who wouldn't be happy to get more food? For a moment, everyone was eager to try.

"Captain, the land my family is responsible for is great. It's right at the entrance of the village. Usually, the most eye-catching thing when you enter the village is the land I'm responsible for. Last year, the corn harvest on the land my family is responsible for was very good."

"Come on, stop talking. Your family occupies the largest plot of land at the village entrance and earns the most work points, but the harvest is not as good as the plot of land my family is responsible for. How dare you come and fight for this?"

"Why can't I? If I'm embarrassed, you should be embarrassed. The land your family is responsible for is not much smaller than mine, and the harvest is a little more. Your family has two or three more people than mine. All my harvest is the result of our hard work. Who else can we choose if not us?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. If you want me to say anything, it's my family. My land is next to the river and there are mountains behind it. It's blessed with unique advantages."

"Oh my God, who did you ask to write this poem for you? And it's nestled in the mountains and beside the water? And it's blessed with natural resources? Everyone in the village knows that the grass on the field you take care of is the thickest. Day after day, you go to work, three days fishing, two days drying the nets. And they still chose you? It's ridiculous!"

"Hey, how do you talk like that? You're just..."

Soon, the villagers started arguing over this, and only the Su family sat in the corner looking at each other.

The land that their family is responsible for is not far from their home, in the middle of the village. Because the Su family has a lot of labor, the land they are responsible for is also relatively large. The Su family is also hardworking, so the crops planted on that land have always grown well and the harvest is gratifying.

But they didn't really want to compete for this spot. First of all, the Su family's laborers were all honest and loyal farmers. Of course, except for Su Aimin, they might not be able to cooperate with the staff at the test site.

Secondly, Su Qingyun has already decided to work at the experimental site, so there is no need for their family to join in the fun. It would be bad if some villains in the village gossip about him.

Wu Guixiang had explained all these to her family earnestly before coming here, and her family had no objections. They were well off and didn't need the extra food.

A few people watched as the villagers quarreled more and more fiercely and became more and more angry, but they watched with great interest, and only sighed that they were almost cracking some melon seeds in their hands.
