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

"Old Zhang, set the reference point on that ditch embankment in the southeast corner!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Be careful when you walk, watch out for the watermelons in the field."

The watermelon vines were climbing all over the place. Old Zhang, carrying his tripod, became even more careful after hearing the warning, trying his best to avoid the watermelons that looked like they were about to burst open at any moment.

Other technicians, carrying prism poles, stood by the edge of the field.

Manager Chen observed for a while and then located Jiang Lin and Secretary Li:

"Boss Jiang, Secretary Li, there's something I need to discuss with you."

He held the blueprints printed at noon and drew a line on them: "The orientation of our shed can be slightly off-center."

"Like this." He drew a line with his pen.

"In this area, this angle can increase the amount of sunlight inside the greenhouse by half an hour after winter."

"Don't underestimate this little bit of time; the difference is evident in these very areas."

Li Shujie listened attentively from the side, secretly marveling at his own performance.

Why are there so many rules?

I originally thought that precisely controlling watering and fertilizing was already quite an achievement, but I never imagined that even the duration of sunlight exposure could be taken into account.

Jiang Lin nodded: "Follow your professional guidelines."

Li Shujie nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right, listen to the professionals."

"Secretary, you're here!" A villager carrying a bundle of freshly shaved bamboo strips jogged along the stone slabs of the irrigation ditch.

The green bamboo strips were all neatly trimmed at the edges and were of uniform length.

"Secretary Li, here are the bamboo strips you requested."

Li Shujie took it and handed it to Manager Chen: "Here, take a look, is this enough?"

"If that's not enough, I'll have them continue cutting."

Manager Chen took the package with a smile on his face: "That's enough, that's enough, you guys are too efficient!"

He really loves projects with such good teamwork.

Fifty acres of land wasn't a big job for them.

But this kind of cooperative work is worry-free and makes me feel comfortable all over.

Mark control points to accurately pinpoint the future location of the pillars, while sketching on the blueprints.

The technicians spread out in the field, carefully avoiding the watermelons. Occasionally, two watermelons would be blocking the way, and the villagers would quickly step forward to help move them away.

"Make sure the drainage ditch is placed somewhere other than this area. We need to make minor adjustments to the blueprints to prevent water accumulation later!"

Jiang Ye, wearing his worn-out straw hat, walked through the fields.

She walked and stopped, sometimes crouching down so the camera could be close to the ground for a close-up shot.

Sometimes, a panoramic view is taken from afar, capturing the entire melon field and the undulating mountain shadows in the distance.

Each person performed their duties in a well-organized manner.

"Come on, come on, have some watermelon!"

Third Aunt came from behind carrying two basins of freshly cut watermelon, calling out as she went.

The red-fleshed melon pieces were neatly arranged, glistening with a watery sheen.

She placed the watermelon basin on the haystack and craned her neck to look at Jiang Ye, as if to make sure the girl had heard her.

Seeing the girl approaching, she picked out the reddest slice of watermelon with the fewest seeds from the bowl and went over to her. "Come on, Ono, have some watermelon!"

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Lin.

"This is Third Aunt," Jiang Lin introduced from the side.

Jiang Ye blushed slightly as she took the watermelon, saying, "Thank you, Third Aunt."

"Yes!" Third Aunt responded loudly, her smile becoming even brighter.

She really liked this girl!

She turned and shouted at Jiang Lin, "You're so inconsiderate! How can you leave such a big place for a young lady to sunbathe here?"

Jiang Lin looked completely innocent: "I said I wanted to take pictures, but she wouldn't let me!"

Jiang Ye said, "That's because your photos are ugly!"

"You can't post your photos on the official website!"

"Hey, you're talking back!" Third Aunt said, exasperated, protecting Jiang Ye like a mother hen protecting her chicks: "The photos aren't good, don't you know how to improve?"

Jiang Ye was eating melon seeds on the side, his eyes crinkling into two lines with laughter.

"Third Aunt, it's alright, Jiang Lin has things to do."

"This is something I can do."

Secretary Li chimed in from afar, "That's absolutely right!"

"We must rely on and support each other to go far!"

Third Aunt looked at Jiang Ye and her heart melted.

She mumbled something under her breath, not loudly, but loud enough for the people nearby to hear:

"Jiang Lin, I don't know what kind of luck he had in his past life to be able to fool such a lovely girl."

Then, she raised her voice again: "Jiang Lin, let me tell you, this is the only aunt I recognize!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Jiang Lin touched his nose, while Jiang Ye lowered his head to eat melon, though his ears felt a little hot.

……

By 4:30 p.m., Manager Chen and his team had completed the measurement work.

The instruments were packed in boxes, and the equipment was neatly stacked and stuffed into bags.

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

Jiang Lin escorted the group to the car, and then Secretary Li arrived carrying two watermelons. "Come on, have a couple of watermelons to eat on the way."

As he spoke, he put the watermelon into the car.

Manager Chen didn't stand on ceremony: "Oh, thank you so much."

He turned to Jiang Lin, his face serious: "Boss Jiang, we'll come up with a plan as soon as we get back, we'll work overtime to finish it for you!"

Watching the van drive away into the distance, Secretary Li breathed a long sigh of relief, then smiled and patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder: "You can make the arrangements yourself."

He was referring to Jiang Ye.

At this moment, Jiang Ye was standing under a tree beside the village road.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on her body.

A camera was hanging in front of her, and she was holding a watermelon in one hand; the sweetest part in the center had already been bitten off.

In his other hand, he carried a transparent plastic bag containing beef tendon, Peking duck, and Mimi...

It's all snacks.

Seeing Jiang Lin turn around, she grinned, completely unaware that there was still a watermelon seed stuck to her face.

She waved her spoils around, showing them off like a treasure: "My third aunt gave them to me."

A hot breeze swept in, causing the straw hat to flutter gently.

She subconsciously raised her hand to press it down, and a few stray hairs that weren't covered floated up and brushed against her cheek.

The watermelon seed was still firmly stuck in its original place.

The light spots became even more chaotic.

Jiang Lin stood there, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He felt as if he had been gently bumped by something.

Perhaps, many, many years from now, he will still remember this afternoon.

I remember this: a girl standing under a tree, her face covered in watermelon seeds.

He walked over and gently stroked her cheek: "You got watermelon seeds on your face."

"A three-year-old!"

Jiang Ye wasn't angry. He just chuckled and waved the bag of snacks in front of him again.

Jiang Lin snatched it away from her in one swift motion.

"That'll teach you to act funny and annoy me!"

"They're all mine!"

Jiang Ye took two bites of the remaining watermelon: "Give it back to me!"

"My third aunt gave it to me!"

Jiang Lin turned around, sticking out his tongue: "Dulu dulu..."

"Tch!" Jiang Ye watched his figure disappear into the distance.

"Jiang is five years old!"
