Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 384: Meaningful Things

Most families managing to use a coal stove is already quite good. In the countryside, there are still some who use earthen beds or charcoal basins for heating.

That kind of temperature, even if you try to grow vegetables indoors, it won’t go well.

Qin Yang simply stopped looking for books and joined her in tending the vegetable garden.

And really, watching these few pots of vegetables from planting to sprouting and gradually growing, it’s quite fulfilling.

"Next year, I plan on planting off-season vegetables on a large scale," Lin Chuxia suddenly said.

"Off-season vegetables?" Qin Yang was somewhat unfamiliar with this term.

Lin Chuxia nodded. This idea came to them when the restaurant was short on vegetables, but given the current technology and material conditions, it wasn’t easy to implement.

But she had one major advantage—the villagers in Qin Family Village all came from vegetable farming backgrounds.

Even though Qin Family Village now has a chicken farm, a pig farm, and Xiyang Food Factory as its three main industries, only a small portion worked in these factories.

With farming ingrained in their bones, regardless of other pursuits, the land must not lay fallow and most people still diligently cultivated their own fields.

"This is just my initial thought. I need to find some technical support and see what the village chief thinks. Here’s what I plan..."

Lin Chuxia detailed her ideas to Qin Yang, and the more she spoke, the more feasible she felt they were.

"By then, Qin Family Village will not only have the chicken farm, pig farm, and Xiyang Food Factory, but if the whole village’s greenhouse vegetables take off, everyone could be a millionaire, pushing the whole village towards prosperity. What do you think? Isn’t it feasible?"

Qin Yang gazed into her sparkling eyes, full of hope and vision.

He didn’t know how one person could have so many ideas.

Leading the entire village towards prosperity!

"Xiaxia, you are really great, and I am not as good as you."

She led her family to open a Bun Shop, leading them on a path to wealth.

Later, she set up a factory in the village, supporting the pig farm, and provided job opportunities to the villagers of Qin Family Village.

Now, she aims to guide the whole village on the path towards prosperity.

Lin Chuxia laughed, "Why make it sound so melodramatic? This is just a preliminary idea, implementing it poses many problems."

"An idea is already great; I support you. Is there anything you need my help with?"

Lin Chuxia saw his excitement and held his face, "Compared to what you all are doing, this is just a trivial matter. Qin Yang, don’t see me as so grand. I am just a businessman, and what you are doing is really meaningful for the country’s development in the upcoming decades."

It was also because of Qin Yang’s actions that influenced Lin Chuxia to do meaningful things on top of making money as a businessman.

And the villagers of Qin Family Village helped Xiyang Food Factory time and again, their genuine efforts touched her. freewebnσvel.cøm

Qin Yang felt he was just doing his job well, while Lin Chuxia’s awareness was higher.

"Okay, let’s stop flattering each other. Your face is dirty, don’t move..."

Her hands, just done with touching the vegetables, had dirtied his face, and she rubbed it off with the back of her hand.

"Ah, you better go wash up; it’s getting dirtier the more you rub."

Qin Yang, unconcerned, continued with the vegetables, "No rush, keep talking, what other ideas do you have?"

Perhaps he could help his wife in some way.

"My thought is..." Lin Chuxia deliberately drew out her voice, "to earn lots and lots of money so that you, Mr. Qin, can live worry-free and dedicate yourself completely to the country’s infrastructure projects."

"What an honor!"

...............

After discussing with Qin Yang, Lin Chuxia became even more confident about the idea of planting vegetables in greenhouses.

In the afternoon, Qin Yang went to work, and Lin Chuxia went to Xinhua Bookstore, hoping to find some books on planting vegetables in greenhouses.

She walked around Xinhua Bookstore and was somewhat disappointed.

There were indeed some books on off-season vegetable planting and greenhouse temperature control, but none that were comprehensive.

Actually, since the mid-’60s, there had been examples of using plastic film as a transparent material for cultivation.

Perhaps it was because her city was too small and lacked comprehensive materials.

Lin Chuxia casually picked a few books on vegetable cultivation, planning to read them first when she got back.

Over the weekend, Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang had breakfast and then went to look at houses.

This area was part of the slaughterhouse family courtyard, and the other party had just acquired the property rights two months ago. They had other properties and disliked the term ’slaughterhouse’, hoping to make a quick profit by selling it.

The courtyard had three rooms, not very new, with windows in the front and back, a typical old-style family courtyard layout.

There was only the main house without side rooms; however, the courtyard was not small, measuring about 200 square meters.

The price was indeed not low; the three rooms cost 5000 yuan, whereas the small courtyard Lin Chuxia bought from Qin Juan, though it had two rooms, cost only 2500 yuan.

Yet, Lin Chuxia did not hesitate too much. Although the price seemed expensive now, as someone who had lived a lifetime, she still found it cheap.

This was, after all, the city center, the slaughterhouse would not last many years, and Lin Chuxia remembered the rapid development in this area. The value of this small courtyard would increase multiple times by then.

And currently, this courtyard was located at the innermost part of the alley.

Her master liked tranquility, this location was just perfect.

And it was not far from where she lived, so she could take care of anything that came up.

In the end, they purchased it for 4800 yuan, and the paperwork was straightforward, just a matter of registering at the housing authority and changing the name.

After getting the keys to the courtyard, Lin Chuxia planned to seal the back windows later and build two side rooms so her master could come and live anytime.

"Should we wait for a suitable courtyard to bring our parents over?" Lin Chuxia discussed with Qin Yang.

"No need," Qin Yang almost did not consider it, "Mom and Dad are used to living in the village, they have their familiar people and familiar things there, bringing them here would be too restrictive and would actually be a hardship for them."

When the two arrived home, they saw Qin Juan and Ningning standing at the door.

"Big sister, when did you come? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Auntie, Yuan Bao wants to come out, Yuan Bao is so pitiful."

Ningning saw Lin Chuxia and pointed at the courtyard shouting.

Turns out Yuan Bao heard the noise outside, knew his good friend had arrived, and was excitedly humming in the courtyard.

Through the gap in the door, one could see a round, black little nose stuck in the middle of the gap.

"Yuan Bao knows Ningning has come, he’s welcoming Ningning."

Lin Chuxia said this while taking out the keys to open the courtyard door.

Qin Juan then responded to her, "We just got here, haven’t waited too long."

She also handed over the things she was carrying.

Lin Chuxia glanced at them, "Such big apples."

Qin Juan smiled, "Got my salary yesterday, saw these nice apples at the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some for you to try."

"Ah, big sister is lucky, I’ve been several times to the supply and marketing cooperative and the apples were only the size of fists."

"Those are our local apples, I heard from the sales clerk at the cooperative that these were brought from outside."

Lin Chuxia naturally knew this, at this time, transportation was not developed, and their locality did not produce apples, so having some was already pretty good.

As they talked, the group entered the house, and Ningning finally got to see Yuan Bao, giggling and playing with Yuan Bao in the courtyard.

"Ningning, how is your new school?"

Lin Chuxia asked Little Ningning, watching her.

It hadn’t been long since their last meeting, but she felt that Little Ningning had become much more cheerful.

Qin Juan also had a face full of relief, the changes Lin Chuxia could see, how could she as a mother not notice?

"Pretty good, the first two days of adjusting to the new school made her a bit shy, but with the teacher’s guidance, she quickly made new friends, and these days she is very eager to go to school every day, saying she likes playing with her classmates."

"That’s good."

Lin Chuxia further asked about her living situation, knowing everything was well made her relieved.

Actually, there was no need to ask, just seeing Qin Juan’s current state, it was much better than before.

Without the family troubles, not having to serve such a big family, living daily with her daughter, working with young people and peers, her whole mentality had become younger.

Isn’t it said that any marriage that lowers one’s quality of life is not worth clinging to?
