As dawn broke, the rain turned into a light drizzle, and the air was filled with the freshness of the rain, sweeping away the previous heat.

Groups of villagers, some carrying umbrellas, others wearing straw hats and slippers, shuffled towards the joint planting area. With such a commotion last night, everyone was a little worried about the watermelons in their fields.

Upon arriving at the joint planting area, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The irrigation ditches had turned into a yellowish-brown mess, and apart from the soil being a bit darker in color, there was no standing water in the furrows.

"I knew it! Sandy land doesn't retain water!"

"The Party Secretary made the right arrangements, getting everyone to clear the irrigation ditches first."

Everyone chattered amongst themselves, and in the midst of the relaxation, they each went to check their own areas. Soon, someone noticed something was amiss.

"How come there's such a big tree branch?"

The crowd gathered around and saw a huge tree branch piled up in the grass beside the ditch, with plastic bags hanging next to it and piles of weeds.

It's obvious that this was fished out of the ditch.

We're all farmers, how could we not see what's going on!

It's obvious that someone came over last night to clear the ditch.

If the canal is blocked at this location, the water will backflow into the fields, and the fields will be flooded overnight, with unimaginable consequences!

"This...did someone come and steal it last night?"

Someone asked in confusion.

"Is that even a question? Otherwise, why would this tree branch have grown here on its own?"

Thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little scared.

It's true that sandy soil can seep water, but if the water gets soaked, where else can it seep in?

As they were discussing this, Li Shujie, wearing a straw hat and carrying a hoe, walked over from behind.

"Oh, they're all here!"

Everyone turned around and quickly greeted, "Secretary Li!"

"Did the Party Secretary pay for this?"

Li Shujie snorted, "I can't do that by myself!"

"Jiang Lin and his father, Jiang Jiahe, were the ones who did it together!"

"The ground was almost flooded last night!"

"All the water was poured in! If we hadn't discovered it early, all you'd see today would be a bunch of watermelons soaking in the water!"

"Jiang Lin? Didn't that kid start school?"

"He's still home!"

"Oh my, this child is so thoughtful!"

Surprise, gratitude, and a variety of other comments arose again.

They've done another great thing to help them!

Li Shujie sighed softly, "You guys still aren't taking it seriously!"

"The watermelons we sell now are different from those we used to sell."

"Jiang Lin only buys high-quality watermelons."

"If you keep managing things the same way you used to, how can that be acceptable?"

"If it weren't for that kid's foresight in coming back to guard it himself, even if these watermelons had grown later, they would have smelled rotten!"

Everyone quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, the secretary is right!"

"We'll definitely pay more attention from now on!"

Li Shujie pressed on, saying, "The weather forecast says this rain might last for another two or three days."

"We all farm this land together, and the harvest affects every single one of our families. We can't expect other people's kids to take care of it!"

"From now on, let's schedule the shifts. I'll wait and assign each shift to which company is in charge."

"When the time comes, we must come here to take a look around and check on the water situation."

"If there's a problem, deal with it on the spot. If you can't resolve it, call me immediately."

"Of course, of course!"

"Secretary Li is right!"

Someone volunteered: "I'll take charge tonight!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions were stirred up and their attitudes were correct, Li Shujie's tense expression relaxed a bit: "Alright, it's settled then. I have to go to a meeting in town later."

After saying that, he sighed again: "I don't know how many people will suffer from this rain."

Watching the Party Secretary leave without saying a word, carrying his hoe, everyone felt a little heavy-hearted.

This is farming.

"Luckily, our village has Jiang Lin!"

"This kid is good at studying and reliable in his work."

"Jiang Lao Er has a good son!"

Li Shujie turned around at the front and said, "Stop sighing, everyone. Look around and see if there's any puddle."

"Yes, yes, I want it."

……

When Jiang Lin woke up in the morning, he received a message from Jiang Ye asking about the watermelon patch.

When she woke up in the morning, she saw that it had rained all night in the Dongfeng Village area, and it was still raining now.

Jiang Lin glanced at the panel. The condition of the plots was basically normal, except that some of the fertilizer had been lost due to the rain. However, the plots in the joint-planting area were in better condition, and the hillside land had just been fertilized before the rain, so it wasn't too bad after this round of fertilization.

Once the rain stops these past two days, I can quickly fix it up; the impact won't be too great.

"Don't worry, I've personally come back to oversee things. What problem can't be solved!"

"Yes, yes, you're the best!"

"Professor Li Yao said that his big lecture is next week, and then you will become a celebrity in our department."

"Isn't it now?"

"Right now, Watermelon Bro is only famous among freshmen."

"Haha, it's all because I'm too handsome!"

"Narcissistic!"

In the three order groups, the number of orders placed has dropped significantly in the past two days.

However, with Zhang Qin's deliberate efforts to maintain the atmosphere and a few naturally lively characters keeping the place from being too quiet, it wasn't deserted at all.

"After just one day at home, I'm already missing Brother Watermelon's watermelons."

"Guys, I've discovered a huge secret! The Youguohui supermarket downstairs is actually selling Brother Xigua's Qingshan watermelons!"

"That label is exactly the same as the one we bought at school!"

"Hey, I saw it too!"

"We sold out yesterday afternoon, but another batch was delivered after 9 pm!"

"@Watermelon Bro, your business is booming!"

Congratulations!

"Won't prices go up here?"

"I envy the locals in Rongcheng. My mom said the watermelons I brought back were so delicious; now the ones I buy downstairs just taste bland!"

Jiang Lin replied in the group chat: "Don't worry, I won't raise prices. You guys are my original supporters!"

When Brother Watermelon appeared, the atmosphere in all the groups immediately became lively.

"Is this a favoritism from the founder?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"By the way, Watermelon Bro, is it raining a lot where you are? The news says a lot of watermelon fields have been flooded..."

"Yeah, yeah! My favorite watermelon is all fine, right?"

Before he could reply, Zhang Qin had already spread the word in the group chat: "Last night, Brother Watermelon and our village secretary took turns guarding the fields all night, just in case they got flooded..."

"Oh, really!"

"Wow, farming is so hard work!"

"Thanks for your hard work, Watermelon Bro! I'll place an order as soon as I get back to school!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"This is the best support!"

Seeing the scrolling praise and concern on the screen, Jiang Lin smiled, "Thanks for your concern, brothers!"

"We do all this simply to live up to the word 'quality'."

"We must live up to everyone's love for Qingshan watermelons."

He had just finished replying when Zhao Yu called...
