Chapter 192. Preparation, making the best use of everyone’s talents is the key!
Liu Shouren is someone who sticks to his goals with unwavering persistence, no matter how challenging they may be.
Feeling confident about turning the muddy marshlands by the river into paddy fields, he immediately convened a meeting for all the community members. After gaining over seventy percent support from the members, he began frequently visiting his little sister and brother-in-law, who are experts, to seek advice.
Shuzhen thought with a shock: While inducing plants to grow is her forte, converting dry land into wet rice fields is like a frog jumping into a well—she has no idea!
Her guidance could at best come from the scattered farming textbooks she hastily skimmed during university. While theoretical discussions are fine, when it comes to actual planning, all she can really do is shrug.
Not having the necessary skills to undertake ceramic work, she gave her brother an embarrassed smile, confessing her competence was only in theories.
Liu Shouren laughed, "It’s good to have theoretical knowledge. If you can write a proposal that gets approved by the higher-ups, we’re halfway there. The rest is for us to feel our way forward, bit by bit. Even if in the first couple of years the yield is low, we’d have accomplished a great deal by turning land that used to flood nine years out of ten into fields of gleaming rice!"
His wife is still in her confinement period, and Lianshan isn’t about to let her overwork herself.
Even himself, he’d prefer staying home to take care of his wife, coaxing their increasingly adorable daughters and sons, and playing little games with his eldest.
After all, weren’t they originally specialized in optimizing and increasing grain production?
Converting dry land to wet isn’t exactly their field!
