In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 251 Catching a Good Time

"Alright, alright, Daoge'er is back safely, everyone go back to work!"

The timely appearance of village chief Chen He allowed everyone to disperse and get back to work. After all, it wouldn't be good if so many people were blocking the village entrance and not even doing any work.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Brother Dao has returned to the village safely, everyone can go home now!"

"Get back to work!"

"..."

The villagers consciously dispersed and returned to their respective workplaces to continue their work.

Chen He smiled and said to Chen Dao, "Brother Dao, you're finally back! If you had come back a few days later, you might have missed the best time!"

"A good time?"

Chen Dao countered, "What do you mean by that, village chief?"

"That means the wheat is ready to be harvested soon!"

"really?"

Chen Dao's eyes lit up. When he left Taiping County, he was worried about the wheat planted in the field because of the snow. Unexpectedly, the wheat in the field was not only unaffected by the snow, but was also about to ripen!

"of course it's true!"

Chen He said with a smile, "I reckon the wheat in the fields will be ready for harvest in another three or four days!"

"Good good!"

Chen Dao also laughed heartily. The ripening of wheat was of extraordinary significance to him and to the entire Chenjia Village.

This means that Chenjia Village can achieve food self-sufficiency and no longer needs to buy expensive grain from the city!

"Come on, village chief, let's go take a look at the fields!"

Chen Dao pulled Chen He to go check the farmland, but at that moment, he noticed Su Qiaoxi and Su Shihua out of the corner of his eye.

"Miss Su, Manager Su, it's been a long time!"

Chen Dao greeted the two men with a smile.

Su Qiaoxi blushed slightly and replied, "Young Master Chen, it's been a long time!"

As she spoke, Su Qiaoxi subtly observed Chen Dao with her beautiful eyes. Seeing that Chen Dao had no injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Shihua stroked his beard and smiled, "Young friend Chen, how was your trip to Ding'an County?"

“It went pretty smoothly!”

Chen Dao nodded. He had completely achieved his goal on this trip to Ding'an County. He not only obtained the Fire Pattern Fruit, but also harvested a large amount of Fire Pattern Wood and Fire Pattern Leaves, enough to support the advancement of his animals!

"That's good!"

Su Shih-hua nodded.

Chen Dao then suggested, "Manager Su, Miss Su, if you have nothing else to do, why don't we go to the fields together?"

"Alright!"

So the group started walking towards the farmland.

Meanwhile, Chen Dao was also observing the changes in the village.

Seven days passed between Chen Dao's departure and return, and some changes occurred in Chenjia Village, the most noticeable being the village's main road.

Thanks to the efforts of the young and strong in Xiahe Village, the main road was paved very quickly. At this moment, one-third of the road surface has been widened and compacted, and it is no longer muddy as before!

Besides the main road, another chicken farm under construction is also taking shape, gradually showing the appearance of buildings, and it should be completed soon.

In addition, there are some newly built houses in the village. The foundations for these houses built for craftsmen such as Liu Qiaoshou have been laid and the framework has begun to be erected. There are still about half of the construction period before they are completely completed.

"arrive!"

Fifteen minutes later, village chief Chen He pointed to the seemingly endless farmland and said, "Brother Dao, look, isn't this wheat almost ripe?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao turned to look at the farmland, only to see that the farmland was now a mix of green and yellow, with most of the wheat having lost its green color and turned golden yellow, which meant that the wheat was ripe.

The remaining small portion of wheat is only slightly green, and it won't be long before it's fully ripe.

"Good good!"

Chen Dao couldn't help but grin.

Su Shihua and Su Qiaoxi also smiled. They now considered themselves part of Chenjia Village, and were naturally happy to see the wheat ripen there.

"Rice Brother".

Chen He said with a smile, "This wheat will be ready for harvest in a few days, and then our village will no longer have to worry about not having enough food!"

"Yes!"

A hint of melancholy appeared on Chen Dao's face. Recalling the days when he had just transmigrated and was starving, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional: With this batch of wheat, the days of hunger would be gone forever, and the whole village would benefit from this batch of wheat!

Chen Dao walked into the field and called out to a woman who was tending to the wheat, saying, "Aunt Wu, take good care of these wheat. After the harvest, I will definitely treat you well!"

"Don't worry, Brother Dao!"

The woman, called Aunt Wu, wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "This wheat is a treasure in our village, we'll definitely take good care of it for you!"

"to make!"

Chen Dao nodded, beckoned Da Huang and Er Huang over, rubbed their heads for a while, and then returned to the village with Chen He, Su Shihua, and Su Qiaoxi.

"Dao'er is back?"

At Chen Dao's home, Li Ping, seeing Chen Dao return, clutched his clothes, looking him over from left to right. After confirming that Chen Dao had no injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was so worried about you these past few days!"

In the days since Chen Dao left, Li Ping has been unable to sleep well, constantly worrying about him.

Fortunately, Chen Dao has returned safely, relieving her of a great worry!

"Don't worry, Mother, I'm fine!"

While comforting Li Ping, Chen Dao looked at Ding Xiaohua, who was standing to the side with concern, and said with a smile, "Sister Ding, it's been a long time."

"Rice Brother".

Ding Xiaohua nodded.

After chatting with the two for a few minutes, Chen Dao grabbed the bag containing Fire Pattern Fruit and other advanced materials and went to his backyard.

"Brother Dao, you're back!"

When Chen Lian and the others, who were busy in the backyard, saw Chen Dao enter, they greeted him with delight.

Chen Dao nodded in response, then asked, "Sister Lian, how are the chickens and ducks?"

"pretty good!"

Chen Lian replied, "But Dao Ge'er, there are more and more chickens and ducks now, and the backyard is almost overflowing!"

The reproductive capacity of yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks is beyond doubt. After this period of breeding, the number of chickens has exceeded 4000 and the number of ducks has exceeded 1000.

Looking around, the entire backyard was packed with chickens and ducks, clucking and squawking everywhere. If someone with trypophobia were here, they would probably get goosebumps.

Fortunately, Chen Dao doesn't suffer from trypophobia. Looking at the huge number of chickens and ducks, he thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lian, don't worry. The chicken farm should be completed in a few days, and then we won't have to worry about not having enough space!"

The newly built chicken farm in the village covers an area of ​​more than one acre, which is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of chickens and ducks, let alone a mere few thousand.
