Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 189 The kind of cloth I'm talking about is called oilcloth.

The banquet ended.

Everyone rushed to help tidy up.

No matter where Lu Qingqing goes,

There were always people trying to take her job.

"Qingqing, these jobs are not suitable for you."

Just listen to me and go rest over there.

You're so busy

I also need to help everyone with the cultivation of purple ginseng.

You've really worked hard.

As she spoke, an aunt took the rag from Lu Qingqing's hand.

Lu Qingqing was deeply moved.

"Auntie, I'm not that delicate."

Everyone's busy, how can I stay idle?

"Oh, don't argue with us."

Another uncle also said,

"You are a major contributor to our village's future prosperity."

The planting of this purple ginseng depends entirely on your advice.

I can't let you get tired.

The villagers chimed in, each offering their own opinion.

They insisted on not letting Lu Qingqing do any work.

Left with no other choice, Lu Qingqing had to step aside.

She watched everyone busily working.

My heart is filled with warmth and emotion.

At this moment, Wang Xiuxiu walked over.

Smiling, he said to Lu Qingqing:

"Qingqing, look how much the villagers support you."

This purple ginseng cultivation plan will definitely succeed.

Lu Qingqing nodded.

"Sister-in-law, I also feel very confident."

But this matter carries a great responsibility.

I need to think about it more.

I absolutely cannot let everyone down.

As the two were talking, Lin Feng walked over.

With a relieved smile on his face,

"Qingqing, look at how enthusiastic the villagers are today!"

I knew this had potential.

However, there are still many things to do.

What are your plans?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingqing said:

"Uncle Lin Feng, based on my understanding of Purple Spirit Ginseng,

Purple ginseng is susceptible to cold.

I've been thinking about how to control the growing temperature.

This is no small problem.

If the temperature is not controlled properly,

The growth of the purple ginseng will be affected.

It could end up with nothing at all.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's expression turned serious.

"Qingqing, this is indeed something we need to take seriously."

Although we have four distinct seasons here,

But it's still quite cold in winter.

Do you have any good ideas?

Lu Qingqing frowned slightly, lost in thought.

"I've thought about building a greenhouse,"

This allows for temperature regulation to some extent.

To create a relatively stable growing environment for the purple ginseng.

but,

Building a greenhouse requires a type of windproof and waterproof fabric.

This is the only way to withstand our unpredictable weather here.

"Waterproof cloth? Qingqing,"

This is the first time I've ever heard of this kind of fabric.

Lin Feng looked puzzled.

"What kind of fabric is this?"

Can it really block wind and water?

I know about windproof fabric; as long as it's dense and thick, that will be fine.

But I've never actually seen waterproof fabric.

This is the first time I've heard of it.

"These clothes or fabric get soaked as soon as they get wet."

Lu Qingqing quickly explained:

"Uncle Lin Feng, the kind of cloth I'm talking about is called oilcloth."

Not only is it windproof and waterproof, but it's also very thin and sturdy.

Ideal for building greenhouses.

It is thin and translucent.

It allows light to pass through, ensuring that the purple ginseng can carry out photosynthesis.

It can also effectively block wind and rain.

Maintain the temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse.

Create a stable growing environment for the purple ginseng.

Lin Feng stroked his chin, pondering carefully.

"Qingqing, hearing you say that..."

This oilcloth is indeed a good choice.

That sounds pretty amazing.

But I've never even heard of this kind of fabric before.

How about this, let me ask around.

See if they have this kind of windproof and waterproof fabric anywhere else.

Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she said gratefully:

"Uncle Lin Feng, thank you so much."

You have a wide network of connections.

We might actually be able to find out about this kind of fabric.

I'm also continuing to monitor the situation regarding the Purple Spirit Ginseng.

Let's do this together.

By the way, Uncle Lin Feng,

I want to take this time to collect more detailed information about the purple ginseng at different growth stages.

Learn more about its habits,

This will also help with subsequent planting.

Lin Feng nodded, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Qingqing, you are so thorough in everything you do."

Okay, then you can focus on studying the Purple Spirit Ginseng.

Leave the inquiries about the cloth to me.

If we take a two-pronged approach, we're sure we can get this done.

At this time,

An older villager nearby also came over.

Said:

"Village Chief, Qingqing, I suddenly remembered..."

I have a distant relative who runs a small cloth business in the next county.

Maybe he knows where to find this kind of windproof and waterproof fabric.

I'll go ask him about it in a bit.

Lu Qingqing's eyes brightened even more, and she said with delight:

"Uncle, this is wonderful!"

If you can find suitable fabric through your relatives,

That was a huge help.

Your news is a real lifesaver!

Raymond Lam also had a big smile on his face.

He patted the villager on the shoulder.

"Old buddy, it's all thanks to your quick thinking."

I was able to think of this relationship.

If it really works, you'll have done a great service.

The uncle smiled kindly.

"Village Chief, Qingqing, we're all doing this for the good of the village."

It's nothing, I was just asking on behalf of someone else.

But will he be able to find this kind of cloth?

I don't know yet.

If we can find this kind of fabric, that would be great.

But what if he didn't know about this kind of cloth either?

What should we do?

A hint of worry appeared on the uncle's face.

Lu Qingqing quickly comforted her:

"Uncle, don't worry about that."

It doesn't matter if you can't find your relative.

Let's just ask around first.

It would be even better if we could find this kind of fabric.

If you don't even know what this kind of fabric is...

Let's do our own research then.

I consulted a lot of information beforehand.

I have gained some understanding of the material and properties of fabrics.

In addition, considering the growth requirements of the purple ginseng,

Perhaps we can find alternative materials.

Or, the existing fabric could be further improved.

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in the uncle's eyes.

"Qingqing, you're such a clever girl."

Okay, I'll take your word for it.

I felt less panicked.

I'll go find my relative right now.

I'll try my best to give you a reply as soon as possible.

After the uncle left in a hurry, Lin Feng looked at Lu Qingqing.

His eyes were full of approval.

"Qingqing,

You always manage to find a way out of difficult situations.

But I studied this fabric myself.

This is no easy task.

I'll go to town right now and ask around.

See if anyone knows what this kind of tarpaulin is.

If you can find one that's readily available,

That saves me the trouble of researching it myself.

Lu Qingqing said gratefully:

"Uncle Lin Feng, with you taking action..."

We're sure to get a lot of useful information.

Lin Feng nodded.

"good,

I'll go and arrange the staff first.

Today, let Dashan take Aunt Li and Sister Liu to Lijia Village for teaching.

My job was to go to town and inquire about the oilcloth.

Having said that, Lin Feng didn't waste a moment.

He immediately turned around and went to Da Shan's house.

He then drove an oxcart to town to inquire about oilcloth.

Lu Qingqing watched the village chief's departing figure.

I am very happy.

She never expected the villagers to be so supportive of her.

This support is like a warm current flowing through my heart.

This further strengthened her resolve to carry out the Purple Ginseng planting plan to the end.

"aunt,"

Li Mingxuan's voice interrupted Lu Qingqing's thoughts.

"Brother Dalin is here to pick me up. I'm going home now."

Lu Qingqing then came to her senses and looked at Li Mingxuan.

His eyes were full of reluctance.

She took Li Mingxuan's hand and said:

"Mingxuan, why are you leaving so soon?"

Your aunt hasn't had enough time with you yet.

Li Mingxuan lowered his head slightly and said softly:

"Auntie, I don't want to leave either."

But I have to go back to the academy tomorrow.

I need to go home and pack my things.

Lu Qingqing suddenly realized,

Then he remembered that Li Mingxuan and Shi Tou were studying at the same academy.

I only have these two days off in half a month.

I have to go back to the academy tomorrow.

She looked at the sensible child before her and said gently:

“Mingxuan, your aunt almost forgot about him.”

Studies are a big deal.

You must concentrate on your studies after you return to the academy.

I'll come stay at my aunt's house again when I have time off.

At this time,

Shuang'er, who had been standing behind Lu Qingqing, peeked out.

She said crisply:

"Brother Mingxuan,"

You must come and stay at our house again during your vacation!

Shuang'er is waiting for you.

A smile appeared on Li Mingxuan's face.

He waved to Shuang'er.

"Shuang'er, don't worry."

Brother Mingxuan will definitely come again.

You must listen to your aunt at home, okay?

Shuang'er nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Shuang'er is very obedient."

Brother Mingxuan, you must study hard at the academy.

I'll tell Shuang'er all the fun things when I get back.

"Okay, let's wait for my brother to come back."

Let me tell you some interesting stories from the academy.

Li Mingxuan replied.

Dalin urged from the side:

"Young master, we should go back now."

Li Mingxuan reluctantly boarded the carriage.

Everyone here is a very honest person.

They kept Lu Qingqing's house clean.

They then greeted Lu Qingqing and took their leave.

Lu Qingqing stood at the courtyard gate, filled with gratitude.

He repeatedly thanked the departing villagers:

"Uncle, Aunt, and all the elder brothers and sisters,"

Thank you so much for your help today.

If it weren't for everyone's help...

We really don't know when we'll be able to finish cleaning up.

Aunt Li smiled and waved her hand.

"Qingqing, why are you being so polite with us?"

We're from the same village.

We should help each other out.

You've put so much effort into growing purple ginseng in our village.

This is nothing.

The villagers responded as they walked.

Lu Qingqing watched their figures gradually disappear into the distance.

My heart is filled with warmth and emotion.

At the same time, I felt that the burden on my shoulders seemed to have become heavier.
