The next day, when the village chief went to check the vegetable seeds, every single one had sprouted and none were bad.
This greatly surprised the village chief.
This is the first time I've ever seen a seed that germinates 100% of the time, after planting crops for so many years.
The other villagers were also very happy when they found out.
I don't even feel tired when I go to work anymore.
The planting work began in full swing.
The village chief told the villagers about his plan to raise chickens, but unfortunately, this time it was met with opposition from most of them.
Their village already had places to raise chickens.
Moreover, raising chickens means increased costs, so many people are unwilling to invest in it anymore.
Some people are simply broke.
Therefore, the village chief specifically consulted with Jiang Jinxiu.
Ultimately, the plan to raise chickens in those mountains had to be shelved.
Jiang Jinxiu didn't care. If she was needed, she would help as much as she could. If she couldn't, she was happy to be idle.
After all, that wasn't her ambition.
However, if it could improve the lives of the Gu family in Gujia Village, she would still be willing to help.
This will relieve Gu Xichen of his worries.
Because of their affection for her, the Gu family treated her well, and most of the people in Gujia Village were also kind to her.
Gu Xichen hasn't come back yet. Whenever she has time, she follows Gu Dashan and the others to help out or to gather firewood to prepare for winter.
Yang Dongmei said that the more firewood they collected, the better.
Everyone was busy, so the task of gathering firewood fell to her.
On weekends, several students would go with her to collect firewood, and Sun Xiaomeng would occasionally go with her as well.
In her spare time, she would also read books, write, and occasionally browse her online space to manage it. When it was time to go to town to supply goods to Wu Wen and the others, she would go.
Because the weather was getting colder, she specially bought a lot of yarn and cotton so that Sun Xiaomeng and the others could make some clothes suitable for winter.
Time was passing by little by little, and Jiang Jinxiu was living a rather fulfilling life.
Jiang Jinxiu didn't care, but the village chief and the village party secretary were somewhat unwilling.
Their village has a chicken farm, but it only raises a few dozen chickens, and chickens die from time to time for various reasons.
At first, hens would hatch chicks, but each time less than half of them would hatch, resulting in a huge waste of eggs.
The villagers had a lot of complaints, so they gradually stopped letting the hens hatch chicks. Now they mainly raise capons, and there are hardly any hens left.
So every time a batch of chickens is harvested, we have to go to chicken coops in other villages to buy chicks.
However, it must be said that the money earned from each chicken sale accounts for a significant portion of their village's annual income.
This is one of the reasons why they want to raise more chickens.
In addition, other villages that raise a lot of chickens can not only raise chickens to sell for money, but also receive chickens as a New Year's gift to every household. Their village, however, doesn't have enough chickens to go around.
If they could raise more, wouldn't they be able to sell chickens for the New Year and also receive a share of chickens, just like others?
You know, the person who usually comes to buy them always says they don't have enough chickens.
They would like to raise more, but the conditions don't allow it.
They learned from a meeting that some villages raised a lot of chickens and their overall standard of living was much higher than theirs.
Moreover, the villagers often have chicken to eat and are not lacking in oil, so they are more energetic when they go to work.
They also long for a life where they can eat chicken.
Raising chickens requires approval documents from higher authorities, which they can apply for, but the lack of funds is a major problem.
The higher-ups only approve documents and don't provide any other support, so they have to find their own solutions.
Buying chicks requires money, and raising chickens also requires money.
They don't have that much money.
Seeing their anxious expressions, Jiang Jinxiu finally suggested that they find a relatively small mountain and raise about a hundred chickens to see how it goes.
Jiang Jinxiu's suggestion caught the eye of the village chiefs.
However, this was followed by embarrassment.
They have no money.
If the villagers disagree, then they cannot touch their money. The rest of the village's money, which is to be given to the villagers after the autumn harvest, also cannot be touched.
So the villagers then pinned their grudges on Jiang Jinxiu.
“Jiang Zhiqing, look, could you contribute some money to support our rural development? We promise you won’t be shortchanged.”
Hearing the village chief's words, Jiang Jinxiu became curious. What could the village chief possibly offer her?
Jiang Jinxiu just stared at the village chief, waiting for him to continue.
The village chief knew something was up the moment he saw Jiang Jinxiu's expression.
He exchanged a glance with the village head and the village party secretary and said, "This time, as long as you are willing to pay, everything is negotiable."
They knew that Gu Laosan was the most successful person in their Gujia Village, especially considering the wealth of Jiang Jinxiu's family.
The other villagers didn't know, but the village chief, who was in charge of registering the basic information of all the educated youth, did.
Jiang Jinxiu's family is truly wealthy.
Moreover, everyone can see that Jiang Jinxiu receives a large package from home every month.
There must be quite a lot of stuff.
They also heard that when Gu Dashan returned from his trip, he helped Gu Laoda and Gu Laoer get two permanent positions at the steel plant.
This makes many people envious.
Even the village chief and his group were no exception.
Who wouldn't want a permanent job at a steel mill?
Unfortunately, not just anyone can go there.
The Gu family's life is getting better and better.
Jiang Jinxiu looked at the village chief and the others and did not immediately agree.
