Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 397: The Entire Village Prospers

Today, it’s just everyone gathering together to eat and drink.

The village chief’s wife and her daughter Yufeng, along with the security director’s wife, started bustling in the kitchen early in the morning.

By now, they had prepared a big table full of dishes, with several main courses.

Everyone had arrived, eating and chatting together.

As soon as the village chief opened his mouth, he sounded sour, "I heard that your bunch had a New Year’s meal together, so what, the pig farm is no longer your business?"

Although it’s a bit out of place for an old man to be sitting with young people,

Having Guo Dong participate represents a closer connection between Qin Family Village and Xiyang Food Company.

Even though pigs have a long cycle and their pig farm hasn’t yet had pigs ready for market,

Those dozens of fat pigs are already well-fed and robust, with two sows having already stirred trouble by getting pregnant, so by next year, the income from their pig farm will definitely not be less than that from the poultry farm.

Qin Shusen saw it clearly; as long as Qin Family Village can rely on Xiyang, they can truly lead the entire village to wealth.

To rely on Xiyang, you have to maintain a good relationship with Lin Chuxia.

Frankly speaking, as long as this girl takes a few extra glances at Qin Family Village, fortune will follow for them.

So, yesterday Qin Shusen thought about, by any means necessary, inviting Lin Chuxia to today’s event.

Lin Chuxia smiled as she raised her glass, "It was my oversight, this drink is to apologize."

The village chief was satisfied. He also knew how could a pig farm compare to her other ventures?

But as long as Lin Chuxia still takes him, the village chief, seriously, he’s content.

"Not an apology per se, you have your team and we in Qin Family Village have our industries too. Today you’re part of our team, which makes us alike."

"Uncle Qin speaks the truth, whether I’m a villager of Qin Family Village or an investor in the pig farm, I’m part of your team."

Qin Shusen knew Lin Chuxia was articulate, but her words always seemed so fitting.

"Ah, let’s not talk about that anymore, let’s drink."

Everyone drank and spoke, and the topic naturally turned to the industries of Qin Family Village.

Since the establishment of the pig farm, Lin Chuxia had invested money but hadn’t really paid attention to the pig farm.

Other things were manageable, but there was one thing the village chief wanted to mention to Lin Chuxia.

"Initially you said to raise the two breeding pigs together, they’re still kept in the same pen. It’s been over half a year, the breeding pig I bought from the breeding station now weighs nearly 200 lbs. The one Qin Wen bought for our brigade is probably not even 110 lbs, compared to that pig, it’s like grandpa to grandson. I happened to run into Qin Wen a few days ago, called him to the pig farm, so he could see for himself and avoid any misunderstanding that it was our fault, these two pigs were raised and fed together without any difference in treatment."

Initially, when he discovered there was a problem with the breeding pig, he called Lin Chuxia for advice, and Lin promptly decided to buy another breeding pig from the breeding station.

Qin Wen knew this and made a big fuss at Lin’s house, as if he had been wronged.

Without Lin’s quick decision, just relying on the pig Qin Wen bought, even slaughtering it for meat would have been slow.

Later, Lin suggested raising the two pigs together, and the village chief had been harboring resentment about this issue, now he finally released it.

"Qin Wen saw the pig and admitted his fault, said he was deceived, the money already given to the other party, and he couldn’t afford another 80 yuan," Qin Jiang was still at the dinner table, so the village chief refrained from speaking harshly.

Lin Chuxia appeared indifferent, "Hmm, as long as he knows he wasn’t wronged, that’s fine, just slaughter that pig, there’s no need to keep it."

Qin Jiang discreetly glanced at his younger sister and, seeing her glass empty, picked up the teapot and poured her a glass of water.

After discussing the past year, they began to look forward to the future.

Lin Chuxia took the opportunity to talk to the village chief about off-season vegetables, which she had planned to discuss with him anyway, especially since all the village cadres were present.

The village chief perked up immediately upon hearing about farming.

They are vegetable farmers, and farming is their traditional livelihood.

Although Qin Family Village now has Xiyang Food Factory, as well as chicken and pig farms, these industries are only suitable for the younger people.

There are over 500 households and more than 2000 people in Qin Family Village, and most of them are still farming.

"Girl, talk to your uncle properly about this, explain how exactly we can grow these off-season vegetables."

Lin Chuxia put down her chopsticks and started talking about greenhouse farming.

Greenhouse farming, also known as facility-based vegetable cultivation, was already practiced to some extent, mainly focusing on windbreaks and sunbeds.

Regreening spinach in spring is a typical example of windbreak facility vegetables.

In the fall, before winter, spinach is sown; although it can grow at this time, it grows slowly, reaching about one centimeter, then in winter, freeze water is applied and windbreaks are set up.

Most of the cornstalk windbreaks occasionally seen in the fields are used for growing spinach.

When spring comes, because of these windbreaks, the temperature around the spinach will be slightly warmer, and the spinach will grow a bit faster.

However, this bit faster only cuts the time by about 10 to 15 days.

Sunbeds operate on a similar principle.

Both use the existing natural conditions for "early maturation in spring" and "extended harvest in fall" for certain vegetables, but cannot achieve true off-season cultivation.

Lin Chuxia remembered that real off-season vegetable cultivation began in the early 90s.

As bona fide vegetable farmers, the people of Qin Family Village had a deeper understanding of farming, and many were still planting windbreak spinach, so when she brought up the idea of vegetable greenhouses, almost everyone present understood.

"I think this is feasible. Village chief, I think we can do it," accountant Qin Ming was the first to speak, his voice tinged with excitement.

Sun Guodong also looked at the village chief eagerly, "I think it’s feasible too. Ever since the market opened up, whatever we plant in the village is a gamble, sometimes making money, sometimes not. Most importantly, the land lies idle for almost half a year, if we really get the vegetable greenhouses going, enriching the whole village wouldn’t be just talk."

Enriching the whole village.

Qin Shusen yearned for these words.

Isn’t that why he has been so active all these years?

"Let’s do it!"

The village chief said and then looked towards the party secretary.

The party secretary, being the eldest, although not as quick to accept new things as the others, knocked his tobacco pipe and seriously returned the word, "Do it."

Lin Chuxia knew this would be the outcome, smiling knowingly and raising her glass, "Then here’s to our success."

"Good."

"Here’s to success."

"It will definitely be a success!"

...

The conversation that followed revolved around the vegetable greenhouse.

The villagers of Qin Family Village were already vegetable farmers, so there was no need for much guidance in farming itself; they just needed technical guidance in terms of greenhouse construction and temperature control inside the greenhouse.

Lin Chuxia discussed these issues with the few people present.
