From collapsing rooftop to poverty alleviation village chief

Lin Ye was taken aback. Su Yun looked up, her expression calm.

"That way we can both cover ourselves with a blanket."

Lin Ye remained calm, "You're right, don't worry."

He won't do anything that crosses the line.

Su Yun smiled, "Village Chief Lin, I believe you. Go to sleep."

After saying that, she lowered her head and gently pressed her forehead against Lin Ye's chest.

Lin Ye composed himself, raised his hand to straighten the blanket, and made sure that both of them were covered.

Silence returned to the tent. After a long while, Su Yun let out a soft "Ah."

"I didn't tell Xiaoshan and the others when I left. Neither of us has gone back yet; they must be worried!"

Lin Ye said, "I've already spoken to Xiao Shan."

Su Yun paused, then hummed in agreement, and the two fell silent again.

The sound of rain hitting the trees outside drifted in, and the two could hear each other's heartbeats, but there was no romantic intimacy between them; it was simply because they were too close.

Lin Ye wasn't sleepy, so he started talking about work.

"Teacher Su, this batch of wild mushrooms will sell for about 7 yuan. I estimate there are about ten dilapidated houses in the village. After the dilapidated houses are renovated, there may not be enough funds to rebuild the village primary school."

Su Yun raised her clean face again. "I understand. Village Chief Lin, could you arrange for the village committee to serve as a temporary classroom?"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Su."

"fine."

After the two politely finished discussing the village school, Lin Ye recounted his ideas about making pig soup, picking mushrooms, and stealing sugarcane.

He had never even mentioned these ideas to the old village chief, but for some reason, he felt he could discuss them with Su Yun.

Perhaps it's because they both came from outside the village, and they shared a sense of identity.

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Su Yun subconsciously sat up. "There is a sugarcane field below Luanshi Gully. The ownership of that land has always been unclear. Qiongyu Village and Luoshan Village have argued about it several times, but later no one cared anymore, and the sugarcane field was abandoned."

Lin Ye immediately understood her meaning and excitedly sat up. "There's no need to climb mountains in Luanshigou, and the road is flat. If we organize a sugarcane theft operation there, it should attract quite a few people!"

Su Yun looked at Lin Ye, her almond-shaped eyes seemingly shining, "Village Chief Lin, you... are a good village chief."

the next day.

The rain stopped, and Lin Ye and Su Yun went down the mountain in the morning and returned to Qiongyu Village.

As soon as she entered the village, many villagers came up to her with concern, "Teacher Su, we heard you didn't come back last night, are you alright?"

Su Yun smiled gently, "Last night, Village Chief Lin and I encountered a heavy rain on the mountain, so we stayed there for the night. We're fine."

Zhao Chunyan pushed through the crowd and darted out, shouting, "A lone man and woman spent the night on the mountain? Village Chief Lin, you won't even spare Teacher Su?!"

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Two angry shouts rang out simultaneously. Shi Dazhu's face turned ugly. He ran over and grabbed Zhao Chunyan, "What nonsense are you spouting now?"

Lu Feng, looking indignant, pointed at Zhao Chunyan and said, "How come you're even better at spreading rumors than us haters?"

Other villagers also criticized Zhao Chunyan, saying, "Zhao family woman, how could you talk nonsense about Teacher Su?"

"Zhao Chunyan, Xiaogang is Teacher Su's student, you have no conscience!"

"Village Chief Lin saved your son, how can you repay kindness with enmity?"

Zhao Chunyan, her face flushed, plopped down on the ground and threw a tantrum, yelling, "They're bullying us! The villagers are bullying their own people for the sake of outsiders!"

Shi Xiaogang ran up to her, scratching his face, "Mom, you're being shameless! You're being naughty!"

"You little ingrate!" Zhao Chunyan jumped up to hit Shi Xiaogang, but Shi Dazhu picked her up and carried her away, ignoring her crying and kicking.

After watching the excitement, the villagers dispersed happily.

Su Yun said to Lin Ye, "Village Chief Lin, I'm going to class."

After saying that, he waved to Shi Xiaogang, who was jumping around, and said, "Xiaogang, come with me to class."

The moment the topic of class came up, Shi Xiaogang immediately wilted, hanging his head as he followed behind Su Yun.

Lin Ye smiled and said to Lu Feng, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Feng looked conflicted, then suddenly covered his face and ran away.

Waaaaah, how could I speak up for Lin Ye? I'm betraying the organization!

Lin Ye visited the homes of the old village chief, Zhang Dafu, and Sun Xiuying. The mushroom drying process was progressing smoothly and was expected to be completed in two more days.

In other words, they can start live-streaming sales in three days.

Next, Lin Ye began preparing for the live-streaming sales event. He first went to the county, found Liu Ming, and requested the poverty alleviation office to provide 500 packaging bags.

After the mushrooms are dried, they naturally need to be packaged. Since Qiongyu Village doesn't have the money, it naturally needs to seek support from the poverty alleviation office.

At the same time, the county government also needs to step in and negotiate with the relevant platforms for the live-streaming sales.

When Lin Ye arrived, Liu Ming had just finished a meeting. Upon hearing the request Lin Ye made, he was speechless. This guy was clearly his superior, not a subordinate, and was always assigning him work.

So Lin Ye took out a bag of fern cakes, saying that the entire Qiongyu Village had worked hard to raise the money, and he only asked for the county's support.

Liu Ming had no choice but to agree.

They found a fertilizer factory in the county with 500 packaging bags, and there happened to be several hundred unused packaging bags in its warehouse.

As for live streaming, Douyin recently has an official campaign to help farmers, and there is a link on the homepage that says "Agricultural products are not selling well, please help us".

So the county directly contacted the person in charge of the event. As soon as the person heard that it was Lin Ye's live-streaming sales in Qiongyu Village, he immediately agreed. This was going to be a massive influx of traffic!

When Lin Ye left the poverty alleviation office to visit the abandoned sugarcane field in Luanshigou, Douyin's homepage had already posted a preview of "Lin Ye's live-streaming sales in Qiongyu Village".

It became a trending topic in less than an hour.

"Holy crap! Are you serious?"

"The live stream doesn't start until three days later? Damn it, I can't wait even a second longer!"

"Wild mushrooms? I bet they're just throwing out a few mushrooms to fool people, right?"

"Heh, this isn't the first time Lin Ye has put on a show."

"Wait, have you forgotten about Lu Feng? Did Lin Ye silence him?"

At this moment, Lin Ye was standing in the depression at the bottom of the rocky gully. There was indeed a large sugarcane field here, which he estimated to be more than ten acres, but now most of it was abandoned.

Lin Ye thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Liu Ming.

"What is it now?" Liu Ming was now a little scared when he heard Lin Ye's voice.

Lin Ye chuckled and asked, "Director Liu, did you ever steal sugarcane when you were a child?"

Liu Ming was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

Lin Ye explained his plan to "steal sugarcane," and it took Liu Ming a while to come to his senses, his voice becoming louder.

"That's a really interesting idea!"

Letting tourists steal sugarcane, with villagers playing the role of sugarcane forest owners to catch the tourists—I've never even heard of such a thing before!

No wonder they're from the entertainment industry, they really know how to have fun!

Lin Ye's true intentions were revealed: "But I heard that both Qiongyu Village and Luoshan Village have a share in this land. Because the two villages had a dispute, the land is now abandoned. Director, why don't we ask the county to intervene and let our village use this land temporarily?"
