Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Agricultural Bureau Sends Someone

Lin Chuxia watched Qin Liang standing atop the greenhouse, spreading a straw mat.

The vegetable greenhouse stood taller than a person, and with Qin Liang on top, Qian Chuncao below, their cooperation had become seamlessly tacit.

Each family in the village had built such greenhouses. Some families built one; some brothers shared one; Qin Liang’s family had two—one on their own land, and another on Qin Han’s land.

The very greenhouse mentioned before was situated on Qin Han’s land, managed with the help of Qin Liang, but it was dedicated to Technician He for scientific research experiments.

This was a voluntary act by Qin Liang.

As the saying goes, good deeds bring good rewards. While Qin Liang’s action seemed to sacrifice a greenhouse, the benefits were plentiful.

Not only could he learn planting knowledge directly from the technicians, but any issues with the greenhouse vegetables would be noticed immediately by the technicians for timely intervention.

These recent days Qin Han had been accompanying the researchers, while Mr. Qin oversaw the store.

By the time Lin Chuxia returned home, Mr. Qin had come back from the store as well.

Normally, He Shuji didn’t dine with the Qin Family. Today was an exception; Lin Chuxia was present, so he joined them for dinner.

The next day, Lin Chuxia overslept. When she woke up, everyone had already left the house, save for Mrs. Qin who was tidying up the yard and had left some food for her in the pot.

After eating, Lin Chuxia wanted to go to the fields. But before she could leave, the village chief came looking for her.

Seeing Lin Chuxia’s somber expression, "Lin, you’re finally back. If you didn’t return, I truly wouldn’t have been able to cope. The Agricultural Bureau called again yesterday, wanting to send three technicians over. I’m at a loss on how to accommodate them."

Lin Chuxia first asked, "Uncle, you’ve interacted with Technician He these past days. What do you think of him?"

Qin Shusen spoke earnestly, "Look at the question you’re asking, Lin. Although I don’t understand the technicalities, Technician He is beyond reproach. He inspected our greenhouse construction even before settling in on his first day in the village. These past few days, he’s been monitoring the greenhouses more diligently than even our villagers."

Lin Chuxia nodded, "Good, as long as Uncle approves of Technician He. When the Agricultural Bureau’s technicians arrive, we’ll treat them as we should, but remember, prioritize accordingly. Since the leaders from the bureau said they’re here to help, let them help. As for the technical aspects, we’ll follow Technician He’s lead."

It’s not that they distrusted the Agricultural Bureau’s technicians, but credibility is essential in all matters.

The other details had already been discussed over the phone, so there was no need for Lin Chuxia to elaborate.

With his instruction clear, Qin Shusen prepared to make arrangements but then, as if struck by a thought, he took out a wad of money from his pocket.

"According to the village’s custom, when guests stay with villagers, the village provides compensation to the host family. Even though Technician He was invited by you, the village must take care of his boarding and lodging."

It had been a long time since outsiders visited their village, the last time being when two educated youths were accommodated with a villager, who then received some extra public grains at the end of the year.

Now things were different. Qin Family Village had its own industry and income. Plus, with the technicians leading the village towards prosperity, the village chief had no intention of shortchanging them by dropping the ball halfway.

Additionally, the village chief wouldn’t miss the opportunity to get on the good side of the Qin Family.

Lin Chuxia of course understood the village chief’s underlying motives, and indeed, her mother-in-law had been working hard caring for the technicians every day.

"Alright, then I’ll accept it."

Lin Chuxia also took out a wad of money from her pocket, exactly 200 yuan, and added it to the village chief’s money. She then called over Mrs. Qin.
