You've been reborn and you're going to go farm?

"Hey, Sister Xu, I haven't seen you come down to play lately."

Is your Jiang Lin still around?

Xu Rong answered the phone, glanced at Jiang Jiahe, and then continued, "The kid isn't home. He took his girlfriend back to the city this afternoon."

"I guess they'll still be playing around."

"Buying watermelons?"

"I don't know, oh dear, you know what, I'm really worried."

"He didn't tell us the specifics."

"The kids are all grown up now and have their own ideas."

"Okay, I'll ask him when he gets back."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Rong shook her head: "This is the third person to try and get information from me."

Jiang Jiahe pondered for a moment, "It's a good thing overall."

"Let's ask him what he thinks when he gets back."

"We're all from the same village, so if we can help each other out, we will."

"If I can't help, then so be it. He's been tired these past few days."

Chen Du's home was brightly lit.

"You didn't see the scene. They lined up for dozens of meters, just waiting to get their watermelons."

"In all my life, I've never seen watermelons sold like this!"

The group sat around, with Chen Du, Deng Xin, and a few others listening intently, their eyes shining.

They helped pick watermelons and load them onto the truck today, in just half a morning. They were actually quite nervous the whole time, because it sounded a bit magical that one person could handle seven or eight thousand kilograms of watermelons.

What made things even more surreal for them was that Lin Tao threw out the contract.

"I stood there for five hours, and he turned around and came back with this contract!"

"Look, it's two yuan a pound, and we're sending 20,000 pound over the day after tomorrow!"

Chen Du took the contract, flipped through it, and hissed in shock: "If the first batch is satisfactory, subsequent orders will be no less than 20 jin!"

"What?"

Deng Xin and Guo Kai were both stunned for a moment. "No way, that's enough watermelon for the whole village!"

Chen Du understood: "No wonder you suddenly called me to assign me a task!"

"Brother Jiang, are you really going to help the village sell all the watermelons?"

Jiang Lin nodded: "Since we have this opportunity, let's do it."

He took out the money that had already been divided from his schoolbag. Each family had two thousand catties of watermelon, which amounted to three thousand yuan in total.

"Since you're selling your own watermelons, I won't pay you for your labor."

"Hey, all this talk about how we just helped with the moving and loading. Those vendors were charging six or seven cents a piece, and we still had to help load their trucks!"

"Exactly!"

Chen Du gathered the money and handed it to Zhang Qin, who was standing next to him. The other three bachelors also put their money away.

Jiang Lin looked at their smiling faces, and then a transparent panel slowly condensed in the void.

"With heart set on my homeland, I bring blessings to my neighbors. This heart and these actions reflect the warmth and life of humanity. (Humanity Value +20)"

"Um?"

"What are you spacing out for, Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Lin looked away. "Oh, no, I was just thinking about what to do tomorrow."

"Let's put aside the matter of the 20,000 jin of watermelons for now. The school needs to send another 4,000 jin of watermelons tomorrow. Peach, you should go there yourself this time."

"No problem." Lin Tao smiled and looked at the group. "When I came back, I already called and quit my job at the paper mill."

Seeing that the others were also somewhat interested, Jiang Lin stated his plan: "I think you guys should continue with your current classes for now."

"The salary is a little lower, but it's more flexible. I can help with things like loading the truck, so it doesn't take up much of my time."

"After the connection with the provincial capital is completed, the main focus will be on Youguohui in the contract. From now on, peaches will mainly be handled by them."

"Then it's about money."

"If these are your own watermelons, I won't pay."

"If you're helping with loading the truck, it's 50 yuan per person per truck."

"Then there's Zhang Qin."

"I currently have a QQ group and need a customer service representative. The main job is to help with order tracking, keep the group active, and respond promptly to any questions from members."

"100 yuan a day."

Upon hearing this, the men immediately burst into laughter: "Boss Jiang's money is so easy to make!"

With all five people temporarily settled, Jiang Lin felt a little relieved.

After the group finished their meal, Lin Tao took Jiang Lin home. Before leaving, Jiang Lin gave Lin Tao 1000 yuan.

"The tank was already full, why are you giving me so much gas?"

"Just take it. You'll be going to the provincial capital tomorrow, so it's better to have some money on you. You'll have to pay for meals or something if you need to."

"Now that we're doing the work, we can't just pay out of our own pockets."

"OK!"

Lin Tao didn't refuse, turned around, and drove off with a clatter.

The lights in the house were still on; his parents were still waiting for him.

"Is Ono home yet?"

As soon as she entered the room, Xu Rong asked.

"I took her home this afternoon," Jiang Lin said irritably. "Please, you're my mother!"

Xu Rong smiled and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Jiang Lin snorted and said, "Belated concern..."

"Hey, you little brat!"

Jiang Jiahe cleared his throat: "Just now, several people from the villages called to ask you about selling watermelons..."

Xu Rong chimed in, "Yes, we don't know what you're thinking, so we said we'd ask you when you get back."

Jiang Lin smiled. "So, what are your thoughts?"

Jiang Jiahe hesitated for a moment: "I think we're all neighbors..."

"If you have the ability, then lend a hand..."

"If it's really difficult, it's nothing. Your own affairs are the most important."

Xu Rong nodded, but the couple were somewhat cautious.

Jiang Lin handed over the contract he had tucked under his arm: "Mom and Dad, take a look for yourselves."

The couple took the contract. "A trial delivery of 20,000 jin?"

"Is this a scam?"

"The person in charge is Jiang Ye's mentor. This Youguohui has more than 20 stores in Rongcheng and is still expanding rapidly. Moreover, the 6000 yuan I ordered has already been deposited into my account."

Jiang Jiahe nodded, it seemed his son knew what he was doing.

Xu Rong was worried about something else: "You're going to have to select all 20,000 jin by yourself!"

"Don't overwork yourself!"

Jiang Lin scoffed, "What's so tiring about this? Just go pick them all out in the field, it'll only take two days at most."

"Now, it's all about how to harvest these watermelons!"

"If they're still coming one by one tomorrow, just stay calm and don't agree to anything they say."

"I want to wait for Secretary Li to come to you."

Jiang Jiahe nodded. That's a good idea.

Jiang Lin continued, "I have high standards. No matter whose it is, it has to meet my requirements."

"Without someone of influence to take the lead, good intentions can easily lead to bad outcomes."

"Besides, Li Shujie and you have a bit of a conflict, haven't you..."

"Making him beg you was a trap he set in the first place!"

Jiang Jiahe was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "You little rascal!"

"Oh dear, I'm getting old!" He waved his hand and went back to his bedroom. "You've had a long day, get some rest..."

Jiang Lin smiled, finished washing up, and it was already 11 p.m.

He opened QQ and discussed the functional details with Gu Zhengwei, chatted with the group chat for a bit, and then had a long phone conversation with Jiang Ye, reporting on his plans for the day, before finally falling into a deep sleep...

"This heart and this journey reflect the everyday realities of life; it's quite interesting..."
