Chapter 40: The Little Day Begins Today

Everyone has their own personality, some people like to be in the limelight, some people like to make a lot of money, and some people are really indifferent to fame and fortune and only like to be quiet.

Lin Zhicheng is also a person who doesn't have much 'self-motivation'. While other peers were still working hard for a happy life in the future, he had already satisfied the status quo early and shrunk into the house as an otaku.

Aunt Lin Jinzhi said that he was as comfortable as an old man, and in the words of Cao Lingling and Cao Lili, the sisters were not enthusiastic at all.

Whether it is a friend who knows him around, or a relative who knows him better, or Lin Zhicheng himself, no one has ever felt that he is suitable to be a leader.

But he became the owner of the island.

Although the identity of this island owner was obtained by the new God Vivien with the help of cheating, it can be regarded as a great gift from any point of view, but for Lin Zhicheng himself, this position is actually not so suitable, at least, it is not suitable for his quiet character.

Things happened too suddenly, the change of identity was too drastic, and suddenly encountered such a big thing, Lin Zhicheng unconsciously lost his proportion. Therefore, he forgot his original personality and hobbies, and participated in various jobs abnormally.

The authorities are fascinated, and they are talking about Lin Zhicheng.

Fortunately, there is also a reminder from Catherine.

I have to admit that this reminder came just right, and the timing was wonderful- If he came too early, and Lin Zhicheng had not had time to show Carter and others his sense of responsibility as the owner of the island, he had already sobered up and returned to his original way of life, then it might leave Carter and the others with an uneasiness, making them mistakenly think that Lin Zhicheng, the owner of the island, did not actually care about the situation on the island; on the other hand, if he came a little later, Lin Zhicheng had become accustomed to the routine of meddling in everything, then his childish proposals put forward because of his inexperience might become a stumbling block for Carter and others in their work。

"John. Putting down the hoe in his hand, Lin Zhicheng wiped the sweat from his sideburns. While taking the iced sour plum soup handed by Old John, he asked coldly, "Why didn't you remind me?"

"Remind you?

"It's just that I'm not suitable to be the owner of the island. He poured a sip of sour plum soup, and the cold and refreshing taste made him tremble unconsciously: "I talked to Catherine a few days ago, and if she hadn't woken me up, I would still be helping Carter and them now." ”

"Catherine, how ...... she. Although he didn't hear the details, Old John still subconsciously thought that Catherine's 'mention' was not appropriate, and could even be regarded as a transgression.

It's no wonder, after all, John Sr. is very old, and both his style of life and way of thinking are relatively old-fashioned. In his view, the duty of a steward is to help the master complete various tasks as an assistant, not to influence the master's decisions in any way, and to interfere from the perspective of a guide is one of the most undesirable behaviors.

"Don't be angry. Waving his hand to stop Old John's reproach to Catherine, Lin Zhicheng said with a smile: "Catherine has done a good job, whether it is her work on weekdays or the reminder she gave me a few days ago. In fact, I am very grateful for her reminder, and if it weren't for her words, I would not have woken up, and I don't know how my irritability came from all this time. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦γ€‚ Lin Zhicheng was full of praise for Catherine, which made Old John, who was a father, quite happy, but from the position of a housekeeper, he didn't want to agree with Catherine's approach in this matter. For a moment, Old John's face showed a rather tangled expression.

Lin Zhicheng didn't notice Old John's face, and after quenching the thirst in his mouth, he had already bent down again and started the next round of work.

While waving a hoe to dig the ground, Lin Zhicheng continued to speak, as if he was talking to himself: "Speaking of which, I am indeed not a suitable person to be a leader, I have been like this since I was a child, I still remember being a class president once when I was in elementary school, and as a result, in that semester, not only did my own grades drop, but several friends who usually played well always quarreled with me, saying that I was not good here and ...... there." ”

"And when I was in college. Many college students choose to join a club, and I jumped on the fashion and joined the pottery club organized by my predecessors. When I was a freshman, I was just an ordinary club member, and there was nothing I needed to lead the organization, so at that time, I could spend all my time on my work, and as a result, my work was also welcomed by many students. ”

"In my junior year, my seniors either graduated or left because of an internship, and I became one of the most senior people in the club, and I had to take on some organizational work. As a result, during an exchange with other school pottery clubs, I got into trouble again. ”

"When I graduated from college, I found my first job. When I was an intern, I performed very well, and my work performance exceeded that of others in the same period, and I was the first to become a regular. However, when I became a full-time employee and was promoted to team leader, the overall performance of our group was the last one. The situation repeated several times, and in the end, I couldn't stand it anymore and had to choose to resign. ”

"There may be other factors, but at the end of the day, it's clear that part of the reason why these things happened to me was my own. Later, I figured it out, which is why I stayed at home and chose to become an online writer. ”

Chattering and still doing farm work in his hands, Lin Zhicheng is now like an old farmer in the countryside.

However, his meaning has already been revealed.

"Well, sir, since it's your choice. After listening to it for so long, Old John felt the sincerity in Lin Zhicheng's words, and finally could only nod helplessly: "I am your housekeeper, and your choice is my will." ”

"Hehe, that's right. As he spoke, he just finished hoeing a ridge of land, straightened up, and looked at his results, Lin Zhicheng's face showed a big smile: "Come, John, you can also take a look, my craftsmanship is not bad, right?"

Since receiving Catherine's reminder, Lin Zhicheng has vaguely had some ideas. In the past few days, after some thinking, he made a decision - to start small and first realize his wish of 'Nongfu Spring has a little field' that he had imagined before reading novels.

In the front yard of the owner's mansion, there was no space suitable for opening up a vegetable field, and after investigation, Lin Zhicheng found a piece of land of about two acres in the grove behind the house.

There are no tall trees, just a few low bushes, and the rest are weeds.

It takes a bit of effort to tidy up the soil, but because the leaves fall and rot over the years, the fertility of the ground has accumulated to a high level, which is very suitable for the growth of vegetables, so it is worth the effort.

Yesterday all day, I was working on those bushes. It's not enough to just cut off the branches on the ground, if you want the vegetables to grow well, the roots buried under the ground are the ones that need to be cleaned up the most, in order to get rid of these roots, Lin Zhicheng not only used his own strength to go into battle, but also found Sam and others and hired them to help.

There are two tasks for today, which are to clear the ground and plough the ground.

Let's start with clearing the ground. The small branches left behind, the small stones buried in the soil, and all kinds of grass roots are all objects of cleanup.

The workload was not very large, and it didn't take much effort, it took about four hours for Lin Zhicheng to finally clean up all the debris in the field.

And then there's the ploughing.

As a matter of common sense, it is definitely more convenient to use machinery. However, because Lin Zhicheng did not give some consideration when choosing the site, and did not clear a road for the grove by the way when cutting down the shrubs, the small tractor used to plough the ground could not get it, so Lin Zhicheng could only use the traditional way to do it with his own hands and hoes.

β€œemmm。 Looking at the ground that Lin Zhicheng had tidied up, Old John hesitated for a moment. Considering that this land is to be used to grow vegetables, if the preliminary preparations are not done well, it will only lead to a reduction in yield or even extinction in the end, and that result will obviously make Lin Zhicheng even more uncomfortable, so, after thinking about it carefully, Old John still decided to tell the truth: "I'm sorry, sir, although I don't want to say that, but I can only say that your craftsmanship still seems to be a little worse." ”

"Ugh. Lin Zhicheng also turned around and observed his work again: "Okay, it doesn't seem to be very good." Not only is it crooked, but it's not deep enough. Alas, it seems that the machine will still be used. ”

Although he has been an otaku for several years, Lin Zhicheng also lived in the countryside when he was a child, and he once followed his parents to pick vegetables in the field. All in all, his hands-on ability may be a little worse, but he still has some knowledge of some common sense in this area, otherwise, he would not have thought of doing it.

If you want to use the machine, the first thing you have to do is make a path out of the woods. Lin Zhicheng knocked his somewhat sore back with his backhand, and made up his mind: "It's decided, let's get a way out tomorrow." In any case, you must use machines, and if you do it by hand, you will have to tire people to death sooner or later. ”

"If you don't mind, I can help, sir. ”

"By the way, John, don't call me sir. Just call me Charlie, I listen more comfortably, you should learn from Catherine, she changed her mind two days ago. ”
