Chapter 232 Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones
A few days later, Lin Feng drove an oxcart,
The oxcart was loaded with a full load of tarpaulin.
Lu Qingqing sat on the other side of the oxcart.
The two chatted as they walked.
"Qingqing, I didn't expect us to progress so quickly."
We'll start setting up sunshades in Lijia Village today.
Lin Feng's face was beaming with smiles.
His eyes were filled with joy at the project's smooth progress.
Lu Qingqing responded with a smile:
"Yes, Uncle Lin Feng."
This is all thanks to everyone working together.
Especially my second brother and Da Shan,
The oilcloth was made quickly and well.
That's what allowed us to proceed as planned.
Lin Feng nodded in agreement.
"That's right, this time the two villages are cooperating to grow purple ginseng."
But it concerns everyone's livelihood.
Everyone is taking it to heart.
Another thing is, being able to work in your factory.
Everyone was very happy, not only because they were able to earn wages, but also...
They can also earn income from the Purple Spirit Ginseng.
Everyone's happy.
As they were talking, the oxcart arrived at the top of the hill in Lijia Village.
Village Chief Li was already waiting there.
Upon seeing them, they hurried forward to greet them.
"We've been waiting for you all!"
Everyone's ready, just waiting to get started on the tarpaulin.
Lu Qingqing got off the oxcart.
Looking at the enthusiastic villagers around them,
My heart is filled with strength.
She directed everyone to take down the tarpaulin, and then said:
"Dear uncles and aunts,"
Let's arrange the wooden poles in groups of three.
Secure them in a crisscross pattern to form the frame of the sunshade.
The frame must be built sturdily.
Otherwise, the sunshade won't be stable.
As soon as Lu Qingqing finished speaking,
The villagers immediately sprang into action, each busy with their own tasks.
Lu Qingqing carefully guided everyone from the side.
Seeing that some villagers were tying the wooden poles incorrectly,
She quickly stepped forward to correct him.
"Uncle Wang, the rope should be wrapped like this, several times."
Tighten it a little, so the frame will be more stable.
Lin Feng and Village Chief Li were also busy.
They helped move the wooden poles.
He also encouraged everyone from time to time.
"Everyone, give it your all!"
Let's try to get all the sunshades up today!
With everyone's joint efforts,
The framework was quickly assembled.
Then, everyone worked together to unfold the tarpaulin.
It covers the skeleton.
Lu Qingqing gave instructions while reminding everyone.
"Make sure the oilcloth is laid flat and without wrinkles."
The edges on all four sides should also be aligned.
This will provide better shade.
After everyone's efforts,
The main structure of the sunshade is basically completed.
Lu Qingqing checked it carefully.
She noted that some areas still needed fine-tuning.
"Everyone, please check again."
Check if any ropes are loosely tied.
Or in areas where the tarpaulin wasn't laid flat.
Let's refine it a bit more.
The villagers checked it carefully again.
Some minor issues have been adjusted.
finally,
A row of brand-new sunshades stood firmly on the hilltop.
Looking at the completed sunshade,
The villagers of Lijia Village,
A satisfied smile appeared on their faces.
Village Chief Li walked up to Lu Qingqing and said with a smile,
"My dear Qingqing, I must say..."
Uncle Li, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me.
This is the first time I've ever seen it planted this way.
Lin Feng chimed in from the side.
"Who can disagree, Brother Li?"
We're all the same.
This is the first time I've ever seen plants grown in a greenhouse.
But it's incredibly rare.
Seeing how happy the two of them were, Lu Qingqing said,
"Uncle Li, Uncle Lin Feng"
Actually, this shed serves a very important purpose.
I was thinking that once we've successfully planted the purple ginseng...
Just build a few more of these sheds in the fields.
We'll plant some vegetables there then.
Even when it snows in winter,
It won't stop us from eating fresh vegetables.
Village Chief Li's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Oh my, Qingqing, your idea is brilliant!"
In the past, during winter,
We all eat cabbage and radishes from the cellar.
Where can I get fresh vegetables?
That's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.
If we could grow fresh vegetables in the greenhouse,
That's wonderful.
Raymond Lam nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, and if this works out..."
Maybe we can even sell them at the market.
To generate more income for the village.
My love,
You know, what's in your head?
"How come you have so many great ideas!"
Lu Qingqing said shyly,
"Uncle Li, Uncle Lin Feng"
I also just happened to be reading a book.
These are all contents from the book; as for whether they will be successful or not...
We'll have to try it out to see.
Village Chief Li laughed heartily and waved his hand.
"Qingqing, you can read books and think about these things."
That's already quite remarkable.
We farmers always have to feel our way across the river before we know what to do.
Give it a try! As long as you're willing to try,
There's nothing that can't be done.
Raymond Lam smiled and nodded.
He looked at Lu Qingqing with a trusting expression.
"Yes, Qingqing."
Your willingness to learn and your love of thinking are admirable.
Everyone can see it.
Besides, we'll be planting the Purple Spirit Ginseng soon.
What's there to be afraid of?
Do as you say, even if it doesn't work.
Consider it a way to gain experience for everyone.
The surrounding villagers also chimed in.
"Yes, Miss Qingqing."
Why don't we give it a try?
"Maybe it'll work out."
"I believe Miss Lu; she cares so much."
It will definitely work.
Lu Qingqing looked at everyone's trusting and supportive gazes.
A warm feeling welled up in my heart, and I said firmly:
"Thank you all for trusting me so much."
I will do my best.
Let's work together to cultivate the Purple Spirit Ginseng.
If it really were as the book says,
Growing off-season vegetables in greenhouses
That would give our two villages another path to prosperity.
In the following days, Lu Qingqing, Lin Qingshan,
Village Chief Li, Lin Feng, and villagers from both villages were busily wandering around on the mountain.
They weren't busy building sunshades for Linjia Village.
They were surrounding Lin Qingshan.
Listen attentively as he teaches the techniques for planting Ziling ginseng seedlings.
Lin Qingshan held a young purple ginseng seedling in his hand.
Explain patiently:
"When planting the seedlings, be gentle."
The roots need to be stretched out; don't let them huddle together.
Otherwise, it will affect its growth.
The villagers listened intently and nodded in agreement.
Follow his instructions carefully.
Finally, with everyone working together,
All the purple ginseng seedlings were successfully planted.
They have taken firm root in this land on which high hopes have been placed.
Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lu Qingqing was filled with relief.
He smiled and said to Lin Qingshan:
"Father, I never expected the seedlings you nurtured to be so good."
If this batch of purple ginseng is successfully cultivated...
Life will be much easier for everyone from now on.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dad."
Lin Qingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
His face was beaming with a simple, genuine smile.
"Daughter,"
As long as it allows the people in both of our villages to live a good life,
"No matter how hard Dad works, it's all worth it."
Village Chief Li chimed in excitedly:
"Yes, Brother Qingshan's seedlings are sturdy and robust."
Qingqing, you're so tech-savvy!
With everyone's enthusiasm,
I'm sure I can successfully cultivate this Purple Spirit Ginseng!
At that time,
The lives of people in our two villages would be turned upside down.
Raymond Lam also smiled and chimed in:
"That's right, that's right."
The Qingshan brothers deserve much credit for cultivating the seedlings.
Everyone has worked hard during this time.
But hard work will definitely pay off.
As long as this Purple Spirit Ginseng can grow strong and healthy
"I have no worries about both of our villages having a good life."
