CHAPTER 610: 610 SUCCESS

Wei Kaiyun continued to plow the ground. He estimated that by nightfall it would be finished.

This way, they could plant tomorrow, and all twenty-five acres of land would be filled with corn.

There are also five acres of scattered land; they’ll decide what to plant there later.

He plowed back and forth by himself. At noon, Sister-in-law Liu brought him food, still meat pies and millet porridge, as well as a pot of sugar water.

In the afternoon, Li Yungui and others came over—more than ten people—and upon seeing the vast and neatly prepared land, the elders were moved to tears. "You must treat their family well. They are capable people. If we treat them sincerely, they will undoubtedly reciprocate with sincerity."

More than ten people nodded; the woman’s teaching of their children and her substantial contributions to the village showed that they weren’t malicious or wicked people, and it was clear they were good folks.

Li Yungui felt even more fortunate. He realized he was very foresighted.

Finally, even in the dark, they finished plowing the twenty-five acres.

With car headlights, thankfully, it wasn’t a hassle.

Back home, he saw his wife smiling at the front door of the main room, welcoming him.

He couldn’t help but walk over and kiss his wife’s forehead.

Holding onto the tractor’s handle all day, once home, he felt his arm aching. However, with the help of three children massaging him, he felt extremely comfortable.

"Wife, the corn seeds at home were brought from C City. Should we plant them?"

"Sure, there’s also a bag of new varieties here; we can try them separately. If they work well, we’ll save seeds for next year."

Wei Kaiyun was awakened in the middle of the night by arm pain. Jiang Xinyu, disturbed by his turning, asked, "Does your arm hurt?"

"Yeah." After all, he hadn’t rested for the past five days, so his arm muscles were sore.

"Master Shang prepared an ointment for you. I’ll apply it right away."

Jiang Xinyu got up, took care of Wei Kaiyun. Since she couldn’t sleep, she went to the bathroom and then the couple chatted quietly.

"I think Li Yungui wants the tractor to belong to the village."

Wei Kaiyun chuckled, "That’s fine too. Don’t worry; they’ll surely give us the money, as it’s officially bought in the village’s name. They wouldn’t sell it privately."

"I don’t have any objection."

"Wife, we’ll keep eight thousand; the tractor costs five thousand six hundred, but for the remaining four robots, we symbolically charged four hundred, spending a total of six thousand."

"I saw the money you brought back. I agree with this; even if the money is used for village matters, it shouldn’t be unclear."

"Yeah, wife. At the tractor factory, both machines were reported under my name, so there might be a reward."

"That’s good; even if there’s no reward, I’d be more willing if you’re vindicated."

"I feel that achieving vindication with this level of achievement is unrealistic, but it’s okay, I’ll take my time."

The couple chatted for a while and then went back to sleep.

The next morning, it was still steamed buns, but this time with noodle soup. After Wei Kaiyun filled his stomach, he took a pot of water and three bags of corn seeds to the fields. Today, the three children accompanied him and Shang Zhenkun went too.

There were people already waiting early in the fields.

Li Yungui had been waiting for a while. Finally, Wei Kaiyun arrived.

He asked for help to remove the rotary tiller and install the planter.

"Village Chief Li, could you ask everyone to help me check the seed quantity and spacing?"

"No worries, Dazhuang, you ride in the vehicle and watch our hand signals. If there’s a problem, we’ll wave."

"Alright, I can get on the tractor." Dazhuang said, then leaped onto the vehicle.

Wei Kaiyun felt warmth in his heart, touched by the kindness of these people.

Since the ground was already plowed yesterday, it was particularly loose.

The planter began working, with more than ten people following behind. Since the soil was covered, people spread out in sections.

The old village chief looked on with increasing satisfaction. "Good, very good. The seeds were sown evenly and the spacing is ample. It’ll save effort during thinning."

Dazhuang sat on the tractor, his eyes fixed on the people behind him, watching them closely; they didn’t look up, keeping their heads low; "That should work," he thought.

The more he thought about it, the better it seemed. How much effort could be saved in the future? More planting and more harvest—it’s indeed a dream come true.

This must be the result of education. He had already discussed with his wife to ensure their son continues his studies, hoping he can become an intelligent man someday.

When Wei Kaiyun finished a round back to the end of the field, he quickly jumped off, turning off the tractor, as it was too loud to hear anything.

"Village Chief Li, is the planter usable?"

"Of course it is, and it’s much better than manual planting. It’ll save effort in thinning after germination.

Xiao Wei, you have brought hope to our village."

"Village Chief Li, you don’t need to be so polite. I live here too. Since it’s working, I’ll continue working."

"Alright, go ahead. We’ll keep watching."

This time Shang Zhenkun got on the vehicle; he wanted to monitor the seeding speed. It was planned last night.

Everyone stood by the field’s end, eagerly watching them. The round trip took only forty minutes; even though it’s impossible to finish sowing twenty-five acres in one day, manually, it would take the entire village two days.

"Daguai, let’s visit Xiao Wei’s house this evening. Although we’ve discussed it, they haven’t agreed yet," the old village chief said, squinting while smoking a pipe.

"Uncle, don’t worry. Xiao Wei and Old Yang’s intention is to center the village; I mentioned discussing it back then."

"But we must go. They’ll finish the day after tomorrow afternoon, and we need to prepare immediately."

"Alright, we’ll go this evening as a pair."

"I’ll go with you, but all the village officials must go."

Li Yungui nodded, "Uncle, from tomorrow afternoon, we’ll start plowing, beginning with which plot?"

"Start with the plot in Beijiang and proceed from there. Also, get the idle villagers to plant their private plots, so nothing is delayed."

"Okay, I understand. Then Yun Qiang and I will prepare the seeds first."

"No hurry; let’s wait for Xiao Wei to return and discuss the seeds from his family. I noticed theirs are bigger."

"Yes, let’s ask. Although I doubt they have any left, if not this year, then next year. Their yield is truly high, so we can all save them as seeds after harvest."

The old village chief thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright then, you and Yun Qiang go prepare the seeds. We’ll ask Xiao Wei tonight if there’s any left."

More than half of the dozen people left, while the rest stayed to watch.
