Chapter 128 Resignation and Return Home
The lives of Su Qing and Lu Xingchen seemed to have entered a peaceful harbor.
The sunlight shines through the curtains into the warm living room, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
Su Qing sat on the sofa, flipping through a book about the development of her hometown, but there was always a burning dream in her heart. She thought of the land, the mountains, rivers, fields and every bit of her life there. She was eager to contribute to the development of her hometown with the knowledge and skills she had learned, but this hesitation was lingering in her heart like an unsolved puzzle.
Lu Xingchen sat beside her, looking at her intently, as if he could feel the fluctuations in her heart. His eyes were gentle and firm, as if waiting for her to confide in him. On this quiet night, the moonlight was warm and bright, and Su Qing finally plucked up the courage to confide her thoughts to Lu Xingchen.
"Xingchen, I want to go back to my hometown, to Hongxing Village," Su Qing said softly, with a slight tremor in her voice. "I hope to do something for the agricultural development of my hometown and use the professional knowledge I have learned to promote changes there."
Lu Xingchen was slightly stunned, then held her hand, his eyes flashing with understanding. "Su Qing, I know you always care about your hometown. Your dream is very important, and I will fully support you."
"But I'm worried that my decision will affect our lives," Su Qing's voice was a little low.
"Nothing is more important than pursuing your dreams," Lu Xingchen said firmly, "I believe you can do it. No matter what you choose, I will be by your side and face the challenges of the future with you."
Su Qing's heart was filled with warmth, and she felt the support and encouragement from Lu Xingchen. At that moment, her hesitation was like a shadow under the moonlight, which was gradually dispelled by the light. Su Qing decided to quit her job in the city and return to her beloved hometown to start a plan combining agriculture and technology.
A few days later, Su Qing calmed down and submitted her resignation to the company. Although she was reluctant, she knew that this was the path she had to take. Lu Xingchen accompanied her through the difficult time of resigning and encouraged her to face future challenges. After leaving the company, Su Qing began to actively prepare for her return home. She hoped to improve the agricultural efficiency of her hometown through modern technology and benefit more people.
When Su Qing returned to her hometown, she felt a long-lost intimacy. She walked on the familiar path and saw the golden rice fields, and all kinds of emotions surged in her heart. She began to visit local farmers, understand their needs and confusions, and listen to their stories. She realized that traditional agriculture faces many challenges, such as insufficient labor, low production efficiency, and poor market information.
During a conversation with villagers, Su Qing came up with a bold idea - to achieve precise planting and management by introducing agricultural equipment. She wanted to use her professional knowledge to help farmers solve these problems. After several months of research and preparation, Su Qing finally decided on a project with agriculture as the core to help farmers achieve efficient planting.
Meanwhile, although Lu Xingchen stayed in Yangshi to handle residential properties, he always paid attention to Su Qing's movements. He often wrote to her, asking about the progress of the project and providing his experience and suggestions accumulated in the workplace. Whenever he heard about Su Qing's efforts in his hometown, Lu Xingchen felt proud and a little worried. He knew that the environment in his hometown was completely different from that in the city, and the challenges Su Qing faced would be more arduous.
As the project progressed, Su Qing gradually established a deep relationship of trust with local farmers.
When Su Qing came back, she found that the night school she founded had now become a central school in Niuling Town. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, she borrowed the school's classroom and organized a lecture on agricultural planting, which attracted many farmers to attend. At the lecture, Su Qing introduced the advantages of smart agriculture in detail and demonstrated the application cases of related technologies, which were highly recognized by everyone.
"Can we really use these new technologies to increase yields?" a young farmer asked expectantly.
"Of course." Su Qing replied with a smile, "As long as we cooperate and apply these technologies to actual production, we will definitely see results."
Su Qing's project is gradually showing results. She and farmers have carried out agricultural planting pilot projects, mechanized sowing and fertilization, organized personnel to monitor water and nutrients, and continuously analyzed and optimized planting plans. Farmers have witnessed the changes in the fields and the gradual increase in yields, and they are filled with joy and expectation.
At first, some conservative villagers were still skeptical about the new technology. They were used to traditional farming methods and worried that the new technology would bring unnecessary risks. Su Qing realized that the promotion of technology alone was not enough, so she decided to take a more meticulous approach to win everyone's trust.
She began to organize more exchanges and invited farmers who had participated in the pilot to share their successful experiences. Through field visits and interactions, Su Qing hoped to let more villagers see the actual effects of technology. Through repeated exchanges, the villagers gradually dispelled their concerns and began to try to participate in the project.
In addition, Su Qing specially invited some agricultural experts to the village for training, helping farmers master the use of new technologies and teaching them how to analyze and manage data. As the training progressed, more and more villagers realized that technology was not a threat to them, but an opportunity to improve their living standards.
During this process, Lu Xingchen also came from the city to accompany Su Qing and participate in the promotion of the project. He used his experience in marketing to help Su Qing develop a complete marketing plan. Together, they visited surrounding villages to promote the advantages of smart agriculture and established connections with local supermarkets to ensure that farmers' products could enter the market smoothly.
With the successful promotion of the project, Su Qing's efforts have gradually paid off, and agricultural production in her hometown has gradually been modernized. The villagers' income has increased significantly, their living conditions have improved, and everyone has expressed their willingness to continue learning and trying new technologies.
However, Su Qing still has some worries in her heart. She knows that although she has achieved initial success, the real challenge has just begun. How to continue to promote this model and how to get more farmers to participate and benefit are the problems she must face next.
Su Qing knew that the country would soon begin to implement the national policy of reform and opening up. She knew this news in advance. In order to better promote the project, Su Qing decided to set up an "agricultural cooperative" to organize the farmers participating in the project to share resources and experience. She believed that only through unity and cooperation can more farmers benefit and promote the overall development of the countryside.
At the establishment ceremony of the cooperative, Su Qing stood on the stage, facing pairs of expectant eyes, her heart filled with excitement and emotion. "We are not fighting alone, but we must work together. Although the road ahead is difficult, I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will definitely create a better tomorrow!"
As Su Qing gave her passionate speech, the villagers applauded and expressed their willingness to join the cooperative and work together. Lu Xingchen watched silently, his heart filled with pride and trust. He knew that Su Qing's dream was becoming a reality little by little, and their lives were also undergoing profound changes because of these efforts.
As time went by, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen's relationship grew stronger as they worked together. They often discussed the progress of the project, shared their thoughts and feelings, and their mutual understanding became deeper and deeper. Although they were busy at work, they always took time to go for a walk in the fields together and enjoy the tranquility and beauty brought by the familiar land.
Just when everything seemed to be going well, a sudden drought disrupted their plans.
