You are my golden finger

In the evening, the clan leader brought the village head to the house, which was also within Lin Xijin's expectations.

After they drank two cups of tea, the village head hesitated and spoke: "Jin girl, you usually take care of the villagers, and today you found a good business for the tribe. Everyone praises you! What other businesses can we do in our village?"

"Uncle, I've thought about this. There's a river in our village, and we can make use of it. We can fence off the section of the river near the foot of the mountain and build a duck shed to raise ducks. I can prepare some medicine for the ducks to drink, so that the ducks won't get sick and the fishy smell can be removed."

"Raising ducks consumes a lot of food. Now the villagers just have a little food to eat, where will they get the food to feed the ducks?" The head of the village raised his concerns.

"This problem is easy to solve. We can ask the villagers to cut grass, find snails or small fish and shrimps, or raise earthworms. Two to three pounds of earthworms cost one penny. Both the elderly and children can do this. In this way, we will have fish feed and duck feed. Of course, I can also help buy some bran for duck feed."

"How many can we raise? Can we find a market for them?" the clan leader asked worriedly.

"I've checked out that place at the foot of the mountain. It can raise about 30,000 ducks. We'll raise 10,000 ducks for now, and then increase the number as we gain experience. Our ducks can be made into boiled duck, braised duck, roast duck, and sauced duck. We don't have to worry about sales. We can sell them to restaurants, or we can take them to towns or counties to sell them ourselves." Lin Xijin calmly analyzed the situation for the two.

"Girl Jin, that piece of land at the foot of the mountain is yours. How can you occupy it? Besides, buying ducklings requires a lot of money, and the village can't afford it." The headman said with a bitter face.

"It's okay. I don't want rent for the first year. You can pay me rent when you make money. I will also pay for the purchase of ducklings. You can deduct it from me when you make money. It's just that you two elders will have to worry about setting up the duck shed, arranging staff to manage and feed the ducks."

"It's okay, it's okay. We still have the strength." When the two old men heard that Lin Xijin had solved all the problems, they were so happy that they couldn't wait to make arrangements immediately.

"Uncle, I suggest that the management, feeding and purchase of feed for fish farming should be handled by our own people; and the village head uncle should arrange other villagers to take charge of duck farming. This way, the villagers will all have an income, and you two won't have to work so hard. What do you think?" Lin Xijin made her suggestion to the clan leader.

"Jin girl, you are really thoughtful. Let the villagers build the river embankment and duck shed tomorrow, and the rest of the matters will be handed over to your uncle, the village head." The clan leader waved his hand with great pride.

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll discuss it together. Jin girl, we really have to rely on you, your uncle is not as smart as you!" The head of the village said modestly.

The head of the village had his worries resolved, so he said goodbye to the clan leader and walked away with his arm around the clan leader's shoulder. The two of them were still discussing things excitedly as they walked.

I have to say that the two old men are people who work hard for the villagers. Seeing that there is hope in life, they are full of energy.

The next morning, the young and old in the village were called upon to cut trees and bamboos and build huts around the river bank.

Lin Xijin had no choice but to follow him to choose a location and give instructions on how to build it.

There is strength in numbers. Judging from the progress, it will be completed in about three or four days.

As expected, the duck shed was completed after half an hour of construction on the fourth day. Lin Xijin asked the head of the village to arrange for disinfection and said that the ducklings would be delivered soon.

Two days later, he still drove the carriage alone and did some work in the yard in the town. Tens of thousands of ducklings and more than twenty bags of feed were loaded on a rented ox cart and came to Shiziwo to settle down in a lively manner.

In the morning, I saw Lin Xijin running towards the town. The headman thought that the ducklings would come back and had already arranged people to wait at the entrance of the village.

Seeing that the ducklings were indeed brought back, they came over from afar and waved excitedly like children: "Jin'er, Jin'er, you're back!"

A group of people followed behind and came forward.

There was some warmth in Lin Xijin's eyes. As long as these simple people whose backs were bent by suffering saw a little ray of hope, bright smiles would appear on their thin faces.

Lin Xijin had no choice but to jump off the carriage and lead the horse towards everyone. The adults stopped walking, but the children continued to cheer around the carriage carrying the ducks: "Duck! Duck!"

The head of the village took the rope himself and said in a trembling voice: "Jin girl, you have worked hard!"

Xiang Lizheng waved his hand: "It's not hard, let's transport the ducks to the duck shed first!"

"Sister! Sister! YaYa!" Lin Xijin looked up and saw that it was Chuntao and Jinan who came to join in the fun. Jinan was stretching out his hand and calling her eagerly.

Lin Xijin had no choice but to reach out and hug him, coaxing him, "An An, you like ducks! We have some in the car, can we give them to An An when we get home?"

"it is good!"

He asked Chuntao to drive the car, and he and Jin'an sat on the shaft of the car. He told the manager to send the ducks to the duck shed, said goodbye to everyone, and went home.

After returning home, he asked Chuntao to hold Jinan while he pretended to go to the carriage to get the ducks. In fact, he took out six little ducks from the space cheat and handed them to Jinan.

"Duck! Duck! An An likes it!" Jin An enthusiastically expressed his love for ducks.

"An An likes it! Can I give it to you? Let An An feed it from now on, okay?" Lin Xijin teased Jin An.

"Okay! An An feeds the ducks!" The little guy answered in a baby voice.

I put the ducks in a small pond at home that holds wastewater, and threw in some green leaves. There were also small fish and shrimps that I had put in some time ago. Soon the ducks were swimming around in the pond, looking for food. An An ran around the pond with a soft little bamboo stick, and Mi Mi followed behind him, looking so happy.

This situation is undoubtedly very healing.

The years are peaceful! Lin Xijin's old grandmother's heart is also filled with joy.

At 3 p.m., the five children who were studying came back and gathered around the ducklings, looking at them and busying themselves. Xijia ran to the barn to get some bran and fed them a meal before stopping.

Lin Xijin was inspired to teach the kids to recite the "Duck Counting Song", and the yard was filled with cheerful nursery rhymes again: "Under the bridge in front of the door, a group of ducks swam by. Come on, come on and count them, two, four, six, seven, eight..."

Needless to say, the next day the children went to school to show off their song. Within two days, the song was known throughout the village, and everyone, young and old, male and female, could hum a few lines.

“Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn.” In spring, the farming season, farmers work hard while planting hope in the process.

And for Lin Xijin, spring is all about being busy. She is busy with all kinds of cheating, busy acting as a little master, and busy acting as an instructor for various projects.

Now, planting trees and growing medicinal herbs are on the agenda again.

This time, Lin Xijin chose to cheat right at the doorstep and placed bundles of fruit tree seedlings and medicinal herb seedlings directly at the entrance of the reclaimed wasteland.

There are many varieties of fruit trees to choose from, including peach trees, plum trees, ume trees, loquats, oranges, persimmons, pomegranates, jujube trees, hawthorns, grapefruits...

The trees chosen for the roadside include Koelreuteria paniculata, osmanthus trees, camphor trees and willow trees.

Most of the medicinal herbs are common trees that are easy to plant, live and grow. There are also a few precious herbs. Lin Xijin plans to plant these precious herbs within the wall to prevent others from coveting them. Of course, this is just for everyone to see.
