Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Su Wanqing never expected that her original intention of exchanging generators for some gold and silver to upgrade her space would lead to such a huge surprise!

She is about to get an officially endorsed oyster mushroom cultivation experimental site.

Other transmigrated heroines either start from small-time operations in the black market or secretly grow vegetables on their private plots, but this one, good heavens, starts as a regional-level "special supplier contractor for the supply and marketing cooperative"?!

Su Wanqing displayed just the right amount of gratitude and humility:

"Secretary Li, thank you so much! Thank you for securing this opportunity for me... for our 65th Regiment!"

She knew that the opportunity would be given to the 65th Regiment in name only, but the actual responsibility of operation and management would be handed over to her, the "hero" who had proposed the key bargaining chip and was capable.

Party Secretary Li nodded in satisfaction, feeling that Comrade Xiao Su was not only capable but also sensible and appreciative.

The key is that he understands immediately; he's smart!

He enjoys dealing with intelligent people.

"Comrade Zhou, Comrade Su, you can raise any difficulties you encounter in your lives with the organization." After finishing discussing this important matter of the oyster mushroom experimental site, Secretary Li picked up his bowl and drank the last mouthful of soup, his meaning clear—the important business was over, and it was time for him to leave.

Zhou Yanshen then took out a pre-written application report from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

"Secretary Li, there's something else I need to ask the organization. Wanqing and her mother are both women, so it's only natural for the villagers to come to the well in the backyard to fetch water, and we fully support that."

However, with people coming and going, it's somewhat inconvenient. So I thought I'd build a wall around the house and tidy up the backyard. We'll find all the materials ourselves, and I'll do the labor myself; we won't use any collective resources. The completed wall and house will naturally belong to the organization forever. If we are transferred or leave in the future, we won't take a single brick or tile with us, and we won't cause the organization any trouble whatsoever.”

Party Secretary Li took the report, glanced at it quickly, and then scribbled his name on it.

"Comrade Yanshen's consideration is very thoughtful! This is a good thing, I approve it! Take advantage of the few free days before the autumn harvest and hurry up and tidy it up. Having a yard is indeed convenient and safe."

Su Wanqing glanced at Zhou Yanshen. As expected of you, you even submitted a report before building a wall. You are indeed meticulous in your work.

……

On the other hand, Zhang Yan thought that carrying water and rushing to harvest under the scorching sun a few days ago was the most arduous task she could endure. Today, she finally got to do some easy work—picking apricots.

She was secretly pleased; how tiring could picking apricots be? At least she could fill her stomach.

However, she never expected that Xingyuan was extremely far from the camp. It took her nearly two hours to walk there, and she was exhausted.

Upon arrival, picking apricots wasn't easy; it involved climbing up and down, and the branches scratched you. The only good thing was that you could definitely fill your stomach.

"Hmph, they won't eat these delicious apricots, but I will! They're so sweet!"

Seeing her eating so much, the older woman leading the group couldn't help but remind her, "Young lady, you can't eat too many apricots. Eating too many will give you heartburn and diarrhea!"

Zhang Yan rolled her eyes impatiently: "Mind your own business! I just like to eat!" Not long after, her stomach started churning violently, and the pain made her pale. She kept running to the makeshift toilet, barely getting any work done, and it looked like her work points for the day were going to be wasted.

She was both angry and aggrieved. Seeing that the place wasn't too far from the county town, she made up her mind, stopped working, secretly slipped out of the apricot orchard, and asked around until she reached the county town.

She wandered aimlessly through the county town, hoping against hope, and actually saw Chen Weidong talking to someone in front of a post office.

"Chen Zhiqing..." Zhang Yan approached him with a wronged expression.

When Chen Weidong saw her, his brows immediately furrowed. "What brings you here?"

Zhang Yan's eyes darted around, and she clutched her stomach, feigning pitifulness:

"I...I have a stomachache, so I came to the clinic to get some medicine. By the way, Chen Zhiqing, you don't know yet, do you? Su Wanqing was all the rage today! Secretary Li held an awards ceremony for her, awarded her the title of Advanced Individual, and even made her some kind of Honorary Health Instructor! All because she dug that well!"

Observing Chen Weidong's expression, she added fuel to the fire, "But Secretary Li also said that our team doesn't have a diesel generator this year, so the whole team will have to pull the millstone to thresh the grain during the autumn harvest! Everyone's complaining about it privately..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Weidong's face instantly darkened, and he could no longer sit still.

He stood up abruptly and said to Zhang Yan perfunctorily, "I know. Zhang Zhiqing, you go to the health center first. I have to go find my uncle right away! I'll find you when I get back to the regiment!" After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for Zhang Yan's reaction.

Zhang Yan called out a few times but received no response. Frustrated, she stomped her foot, regretting that she had told him the news too early and hadn't spent more time with Chen Weidong.

·

Chen Weidong walked quickly and found his uncle Chen Mingda in the office of the county materials bureau.

As soon as he entered, he eagerly told everyone what was going on, "Uncle! You have to help me think of a way! All the good honors have been taken by Su Wanqing. If I go back to the city, I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything on my resume!"

Chen Mingda was exasperated. "I told you to hurry up and get the waterwheel there to solve the immediate problem, so we could get the credit! But you had to put on airs and try to control people! Now look what happened, all the credit goes to someone else!"

He took a drag of his cigarette. "Alright, they don't have a generator this year, right? In a few days, when the wheat is harvested and drying on the threshing floor, and everyone's exhausted, you put that generator (number 61) there! Just say you used my connections to get it! Then, they'll have to choose between manual threshing or generator threshing. This lifeline is in your hands. Even if they don't really appreciate it, they'll have to acknowledge your kindness! I'll then solidify the credit for you!"

Chen Weidong's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Uncle! Don't worry, my father said he'll definitely put in a good word for you this time and help you get a promotion!"

Chen Mingda nodded in satisfaction. "There's one more thing. We've got a spot for an experimental oyster mushroom cultivation site coming up from above, and more than a dozen farms in the Ili region are vying for it. I need you to get that spot."

He then whispered to Chen Weidong about the official background of the oyster mushroom experimental site, the stable supply of mycelium, the unified sales and purchase by the supply and marketing cooperative, and the economic benefits and political capital involved.

This was done specifically to subsidize the production and construction corps by selecting only pilot sites within the corps.

Chen Weidong's eyes lit up. "Then...then isn't that like having a secure job? And with so much lucrative opportunities?"

Chen Mingda hummed in agreement and said calmly:

"My initial estimate is that if things go well, I can earn at least this much per month, and also accumulate important work experience. Of course, this relationship is just registered under your name."
