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

At three in the morning, Jiang Lin arrived home under the cover of darkness, set his alarm, and went straight to sleep.

At 7:30, his mother, Xu Rong, gently knocked on the door. He was already awake. After slurping a few mouthfuls of noodles, he rode his electric scooter to the rural credit cooperative in town.

He handed over his bank card and ID: "Withdraw 4 yuan."

The teller looked up at his youthful appearance and smiled, saying, "Why are you withdrawing so much money?"

"The watermelon seller," Jiang Lin said calmly, "gives the money to the village head."

Ten minutes later, Jiang Lin came out carrying his schoolbag.

When we arrived at the joint planting site, Secretary Li and seven or eight villagers were already loosening the soil in the field.

"secretary!"

Li Shujie dug the hoe into the ground, then walked to the roadside: "I heard from your father that you only finished work in the early hours of the morning, you didn't get much sleep."

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "It's alright, you're young."

He surveyed the entire joint-planting area; the panel data showed that the condition was okay, but there were disease warnings.

"Secretary, please gather everyone together; there are some things to arrange."

"Oh!" Li Shujie suddenly realized, and nodded. "Okay."

If a child can run back home in the early hours of the morning, then something important must have happened.

By nine o'clock, people had already gathered in Secretary Li's courtyard, making a ruckus: "What's going on now?!"

"The land still needs to be turned over!"

"They said it was Jiang Lin who shouted it..."

"There's a problem with those 40,000 jin (20,000 kg)?"

"Can't you shut your mouth for once?!"

Jiang Lin parked his electric scooter at the entrance and laughed upon hearing this: "Uncle Wan, please don't say things like that again!"

Seeing his expression, everyone felt a little relieved, and Third Aunt took the opportunity to speak up: "Oh dear, what's wrong?"

Jiang Lin chuckled, picked up his backpack, and patted it. "It must be something big!"

As he spoke, he walked toward the table in the middle of the threshing floor.

Secretary Li and another villager set up the long bench. "Sit down!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and sat down at the other end, took out his notebook from his bag, wiped his mouth with saliva, and then opened the notebook page by page.

Jiang Lin sat down on the other side, and with a "squeak," he unzipped his backpack. Accompanied by the sound of a plastic bag, bundles of red banknotes were placed on the table.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stared at the money on the table. Some people subconsciously straightened up, while others swallowed hard, their eyes fixed on it.

Jiang Lin opened his side pocket again and took out another wad of cash. "One, two, three..."

In the courtyard, only the sounds of Li Shujie flipping through his notebook and Jiang Lin counting money remained.

After counting out three thousand yuan, Jiang Lin counted it again before placing it on the table and pushing it in front of Li Shujie: "Secretary, please count it."

"A total of 43,000 jin, worth 43,000 yuan."

Li Shujie nodded, put down the notebook, and then placed the bundles of money on the left side of the notebook, arranging them neatly.

He removed the white seal from the money and began to count it carefully.

After counting one bundle, I neatly arranged it and placed it on the other side of the notebook, then the second bundle, the third bundle...

"No problem."

As he spoke, he glanced around at the people present: "Is everyone gathered?"

"Everything's here!"

Everyone had a smile on their face.

Li Shujie nodded, his fingers sliding lightly down the notebook, then he cleared his throat: "Li Daming!"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

A man raised his hand and pushed his way to the front from behind, shouting, "Here! Here!"

Secretary Li counted the money: "It's 2500 in total."

"That's right, that's right!" he grinned, showing off his yellow teeth. "Thank you, Secretary! Thank you, Secretary!"

Secretary Li glanced at him: "Thank me for what? The person who should be thanking should sit over there!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Thank you, Boss Jiang!"

As he spoke, he moistened his lips with saliva and counted the money he had received again, saying, "Thank you, thank you!"

Secretary Li shook his head and continued reading the names: "Jiang Guofu, 2100..."

……

The 43,000 yuan was quickly distributed to everyone.

With the real money in hand, everyone felt much more at ease, and an irrepressible smile appeared on everyone's face.

"Oh dear, you have no idea, those teams on the ridge have suffered terribly."

"Each household lost at least one or two thousand catties."

"The first batch of seedlings they grabbed can't be sown here; there are so many in the fields, and the house can't hold them all!"

"Ah, thank goodness we have Jiang Lin at the head of our village to help us, otherwise..."

"This child is our village's lucky star!"

"I could tell from a young age that this kid was going to be successful!"

"Exactly, I was smart back in school..."

After the money was distributed, Jiang Lin said to Li Shujie, "Secretary, make sure you keep this accounting notebook safe."

"These are all receipts!"

"I know that. It was all built from scratch. I can even find the account books from two years ago!"

Jiang Lin smiled, nodded, and then took a file folder out of his bag.

Jiang Lin coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention: "Now that the money has been distributed, let me talk about the second thing."

He opened the document: "This document is a management plan for the watermelon field after the rain that I got from a professor at the Provincial Agricultural University yesterday."

"I just went to the fields and checked. Everyone is doing the drainage and loosening work quite promptly."

One villager chimed in, "Hey, we're all old hands at farming, we know this stuff."

"Really? Really? Even the secretary who wasn't being difficult came to their door to shout."

A few villagers just chuckled dryly.

Jiang Lin nodded, unfolding the documents as he spoke: "As you all know, I have high standards when it comes to these vendors."

"After several days of rain, watermelons are prone to becoming soggy. If our watermelons look like this, no one will be willing to buy them."

"Therefore, we must use scientific methods to manage our land in the future."

One villager said, "No problem, we'll just do what the experts say!"

If they can actually get the money, Jiang Lin will be unstoppable now; if he says east, nobody will go west!

Jiang Lin nodded: "The professor said that after this weather, diseases are more likely to break out, and watermelons are also more likely to crack and taste bad."

He pointed to the items on the document and explained them one by one: "This document clearly lists all the work we need to do in the days leading up to the IPO."

"Today, the pesticides for disease control must be applied in the fields, strictly following the mixing ratio on the label—not too much, not too little!"

"Then, the old leaves, especially those with spots or a bit of mold, must be picked clean and thrown far away, not tossed into the ditch."

"Every day afterward, we need to turn the melons over and fertilize them... the order of these actions matters."

"You all know better than I do how to do this, so I won't go into details."

"I want to emphasize that we must strictly follow this document..."

Li Shujie watched Jiang Lin explain the plan to everyone with a serious expression, and for a moment, he felt a little dazed.

Last week, he was still worried about not being able to find a good seller for the watermelons he and everyone else were growing.

If dozens of acres of watermelons rot in the field, Li Shujie will be a sinner in Dongfeng Village. Forget about leading everyone to get rich, he will be drowned in spit!

But now, this young man has not only found a way out, but also led everyone through the natural disaster, handing over stacks of real money to him!

Right now, they've even thought of post-disaster management so thoroughly that they've brought in a plan from an agricultural university professor!

A strong sense of relief welled up inside him.

"Secretary, I'll leave this to you to keep an eye on things!"

After Jiang Lin finished speaking, he handed the documents in his hand to Li Shujie.

Li Shujie snapped out of his daze, solemnly took the document, took a deep breath, and looked around at everyone: "Did you all hear that? If you want to make money, then work honestly."

"That kid has paved the way to this point, earned the money, and found a solution for everyone."

"If we still can't keep up, and things fall apart..."

"That would be like shooting yourself in the foot!"

"Anyone who dares to cheat or shirk their duties will be the first to object, even without Jiang Lin saying a word!"
