I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 400

But still, the existence of this well proves that there may be a second and a third well in the future.

The need to change the environment was urgent.

She hadn’t seen Lu Ye for a long time. After a phone call with Lu Ye, she asked him to reach out to the Exploration Bureau to look around, as there might be underground water sources close to the surface.

After all, this year’s climate and rainfall in Xichuan were ten percent better than last year’s.

The Qiao Family Team’s seed production base was under construction, and the cement roads were all completed. These roads connected the village’s four main thoroughfares and extended from the village to the commune and then to the county.

For this, the county even held a special ceremony. The first vehicle was Qiao Family Team’s tractor, adorned with firecrackers and a large red flower, chugging along, followed by several horse-drawn carriages, with numerous barefoot commune members walking behind.

Not just from the Qiao Family Team, but also people from other teams.

They came specifically to experience what a cement road was.

And now a bridge was being built over the river between Qiao Family Team and Hejia Village.

Wu Xiucai didn’t come to the Qiao Family Team; Qiao Zhicai didn’t understand bridge construction, so Secretary Chang came to the Qiao Family Team and brought a provincial engineering team to build the bridge.

After some exploration, they started working.

Building bridges was different from constructing houses and roads. A somewhat inflated Qiao Zhihai wanted to join the engineering team but was fiercely scolded by Qiao Zhiyuan. Then, Li Tie gave him a talking-to, and he calmed down considerably.

After the reward fund for the Qiao Family Team was approved, fortunately, it wasn’t withheld under various pretexts. Almost all of it was received but not kept in the Qiao Family Team’s account, as it was just a team but placed in a separate ledger at the commune.

This reward money was mainly used for infrastructure, water conservancy, subsidies for mechanization, and technical training for the new era’s farmers.

After the funds were received and the roads were repaired, the commune members of the Qiao Family Team finally came back down to earth from the clouds.

After all, having been poor for so long, it was normal not to be able to adapt immediately to the sudden massive changes in life.

But it also must be said that human adaptability is incredibly strong.

Lin Wen was now officially transferred to the seed production base’s laboratory. The funds were in place, the personnel had arrived, and everyone from top to bottom fully supported it. Nobody dared to play politics with this matter, so everything was going smoothly.

Looking at the blueprints, Lin Wen could never have imagined that he would work in such a place one day, but the pressure was enormous.

And right now, the most lacking thing here was still talent. He went to find Captain Qiao Zhiyuan, "I have two classmates who studied agriculture and they’re graduating this year. They want to come to the Qiao Family Team for an internship during summer vacation." After saying this, he added, "If they like it here, they’re planning to request to be assigned to our Qiao Family Team after graduation."

Qiao Zhiyuan’s eyes lit up, and he stretched out his big fan-like hand to give Lin Wen a vigorous pat, praising, "You’re truly worthy of being a son-in-law of our Qiao Family Team, always thinking of us first. You get in touch with them. As long as they’re willing to come, we’ll welcome them with open doors."

Lin Wen, much like his name, was polite and scholarly, with a somewhat frail body. That’s why, when he became a young intellectual here, because he couldn’t handle the tough labor, he married a local girl, as his wife was capable, and there were many helpers at home.

So when Qiao Zhiyuan slapped him, he almost fell to the ground, but he steadied himself, grinned, and cautiously added, "Captain, about the two young intellectuals I told you about a while ago, they’ve contacted me again—they want to come back."

Qiao Zhiyuan remembered the matter. Qiao Qingyu had mentioned it over the phone, asking him to assess their character. He didn’t have a strong impression of them, as everything was relayed by Lin Wen. Naturally, they were welcome back if there were no issues, but the team didn’t lack laborers, only skilled talents. In other words, without a specialty, there was little point in coming back.

After all, it was not the same old Qiao Family Team where one’s face was to the soil and back to the sky.

"Let them come, but they’ll have to take an exam. If they pass, we welcome them back to the Qiao Family Team."

Lin Wen smiled; his two classmates were clever.

Although they didn’t make it into university, Han Shu worked in a factory after returning to the city and was quite familiar with machinery. The reason he wanted to come back to the team was that he had fallen out with his stepmother, and there was really no place for him at home. He was not young anymore and his attempts at romance were all sabotaged by his stepmother, so he wanted to leave his hometown. In the meantime, he contacted Lin Wen, learned about the great changes in the Qiao Family Team, and was moved. Whatever the case, this was a familiar place to him. As for the future, he would deal with leaving his family first.

Han Shu was rather sincere, or to put it bluntly, somewhat timid. That was why he was like this.

The other one’s girlfriend had been taken by the son of a leader at his unit. He had landed the young master in the hospital, and after his parents pleaded desperately, they reached a private settlement. But he was also dismissed from his public position. Coincidentally, he had studied water conservation, a skill currently in high demand at the Qiao Family Team.

Lin Wen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Captain, then I’ll give them a call."

"All right, you let them know. If they want to come, have them come quickly; we have someone to test them." Then Qiao Zhiyuan said, "Come on, you’re coming with me to pick up someone."

"Who are we picking up?" Lin Wen asked curiously.

"People from the Agricultural Research Institute in the provincial city. They’re coming for an on-site survey and probably won’t leave until after the autumn harvest."

"That’s really great; I have so many questions to ask them."

Lin Wen was truly happy.

He excitedly rode the tractor with Qiao Zhiyuan to the commune.

The road was now so good—truly smooth and flat. With such a road to travel on, the mood was incredibly cheerful.

Tree saplings and flowers had already been planted along the highway, and the most commonly planted golden lace in the north was budding, soon to bloom. In half a month, the roadside was set to become a beautiful scene.

Surrounded by the boundless fields, the crops were growing robustly, indicating that as long as there were no natural disasters, this year’s harvest would be plentiful.

Lin Wen was immensely grateful to the leader who had assigned him here.

He felt it was time to find an opportunity to visit him during the vacation.

...

In the blink of an eye, summer vacation arrived.

Qiao Qingyu achieved top marks in all her subjects, including electives. She tidied up her simple belongings and sat in her dormitory, waiting for He Xiuyu to pick her up in an hour.
