In the first year of planting rapeseed, not only the village chief, but even Lin Jiuyue was unsure whether there would be a good harvest.
If the seeds had not been soaked in spiritual spring water, Lin Jiuyue would not have dared to plant rapeseed on all 20 acres of land.
In the first few days after the seeds were sown, the village chief was even more active than Lin Jiuyue and went to check on them every day.
"Miss Lin, Miss Lin!"
As soon as Lin Jiuyue returned home, the village chief came running over. He really ran over.
"Village chief, what are you so happy about?"
Lin Jiuyue looked at the village chief with a smile.
"Miss Lin, do you know? The rapeseed has grown."
"Oh? Village chief, you went to see it again today?"
The village chief nodded.
"I've taken a look. The rapeseed has already sprouted some green shoots. I see that the seeds have already sprouted quite a few."
The village chief said happily.
Although the rapeseed is not mine, I am still a participant after all.
Besides, Miss Lin had already promised to give herself two acres of rapeseed seedlings before the rapeseed was planted.
It can be said that rapeseed also has its own share.
Lin Jiuyue wanted to ask the village chief not to run around every day to avoid tiring himself out, but seeing how happy he was, she kept the words to herself.
"It's good once it sprouts. When it grows four or five leaves, you can transplant it."
It was Lin Jiuyue’s first time planting rapeseed, and she didn’t have much experience. She just relied on the little memory in her mind.
Fortunately, there is the blessing of the spiritual spring water. Otherwise, I really don't know what the rapeseed will grow into.
"Well, judging by the current growth rate, it probably won't be long before they can be transplanted. Miss Lin, you can plant them first. If there are any extra seedlings, we can plant them later."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Village chief, there's no need for that. You can just plant it when the time comes. You don't have much land, so you won't need much."
The village chief reserved two acres of land for growing rapeseed, while Lin Jiuyue had twenty acres of land.
Although the two acres of land of the village chief's family is not a small amount, it is still far less than that of Lin Jiuyue.
"How can I feel so embarrassed about this?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You guys helped me plant these rapeseed seeds and the land. If you're sorry, it should be me."
Lin Jiuyue finished speaking. Then she thought about the 19 mu of land she still had to till. However, she could still plant crops without tilling the land.
Even with these nearly twenty acres of land, I'm afraid I won't be able to cultivate it by myself.
"Village chief, if you are free, could you please ask for help from the villagers who is free in the next few days? I have 20 mu of land to plant rapeseed, and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it alone. I want to ask some people to help plant the rapeseed."
The village chief was able to inform Lin Jiuyue immediately that the wealthy Zhang family wanted to sell the land because he thought that if Lin Jiuyue bought all the land, he would not be able to farm it.
At that time, we will have to hire someone to help with the farming, so that those in the village who don’t have much land can earn more.
"Miss Lin, you can leave this matter to me without any worries. There are plenty of farmers in our village. We can find as many people as you want."
Lin Jiuyue was quite confident in the village chief.
The people the village chief had hired to reclaim the hill were very reliable. I hope the people he hires this time will be as reliable as the previous ones.
"Village Chief, I think those people who worked for my family before are all good people. If they are free, you can invite them all."
After listening to this, the village chief nodded.
"Don't worry, I will never find you an unreliable person."
Time flies, and the rapeseed has already grown four leaves. It's almost time to plant. The village chief still goes to the fields every day as usual to check on them.
"Xiyue, go and ask the village chief to come over and tell him I have something to discuss with him."
Xiyue is now fully recovered and no longer coughs. Her personality has also become much more cheerful compared to before.
"Yes, Miss, I will go right away."
Xiyue said with a smile, then turned and walked towards the village chief's house.
As soon as I reached the door, the village chief appeared.
"Village Chief, you came at the perfect time. My daughter asked me to go to your house and call you, saying that she wanted to discuss something with you. I didn't expect you to come by by such a coincidence."
"Oh? Your lady wants to see me for something?"
Xiyue said with a smile.
"Yes, my young lady is in the yard, village chief, let's go in."
Lin Jiuyue was sitting in the yard when she heard the conversation between the village chief and Xiyue. She didn't think of going out to greet them, but just sat in the yard, slowly poured a cup of tea for the village chief, and waited for him to come in.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, the village chief walked happily into the Lin family's yard.
"Miss Lin, Xiyue told me you have something to talk to me about?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded and handed the cup of tea to the village chief.
"Yes, village chief."
"As for the rapeseed, the village chief has gone to check it out today, right? Most of them have already grown four or five leaves. I think they're ready to be transplanted. I called you over because I wanted to go check it out with you."
The village chief goes to the rapeseed field every day to check on the rapeseed seedlings. He knows the growth of the rapeseed seedlings in more detail than Lin Jiuyue.
"Haha, to be honest with you, Miss Lin, I just came back from your place as well."
Lin Jiuyue smiled awkwardly.
As the master, I am not as diligent as the village chief.
Lin Jiuyue had been seeing the village chief for such a long time, but she still addressed herself the same way as before, calling her "Miss Lin, Miss Lin." It felt a bit awkward.
"Village Chief, don't call me Miss Lin from now on. Just call me by my name. Miss Lin, Miss Lin, it feels a bit awkward."
The village chief smiled.
"Haha, then I'll listen to Miss Lin. From now on, I won't call you 'Miss Lin'. Just call you Jiuyue like your aunt, okay?" Lin Jiuyue nodded with a smile.
"Okay, that's what I'll call you from now on. I won't call you village chief anymore. I'll just call you uncle from now on, okay?"
Lin Jiuyue doesn’t have any relatives, and she doesn’t want to recognize her uncle’s family who are related by blood.
"Sure, of course. If you call me uncle, I'll be so happy."
The village chief said with a smile.
Although I have many relatives, I can't find a single promising one even after counting several generations.
Although Lin Jiuyue is a woman, she has a promising future!
If he really calls me uncle and I walk out, I will feel proud, right?
"Uncle, it's settled then. From now on, you won't call me Miss Lin, and I won't call you Village Chief. From now on, I'll just call you Uncle."
Before traveling here, Lin Jiuyue had few relatives. After coming here, the original owner also had few relatives.
Suddenly there was an "uncle" who appeared. Although this "uncle" was not a blood relationship, Lin Jiuyue was still very happy.
