Capítulo 200: Chapter 199: They All Left

Five hundred acres of land in Wangshan Village, of which four hundred are cultivated with winter wheat, and one hundred are prepared to be planted with peanuts in mid-March. Chen Afu and Mr. Zeng, led by Mr. Lin and his son, conducted a tour of their fields. The wheat was lush and green, growing vigorously as far as the eye could see.

Dabao, brimming with joy, whispered to Chen Afu, "Mother, with this enormous land, our family is now second only to Uncle Chu as major landlords."

Chen Afu laughingly pinched his chubby face, saying, "Your Uncle Chu is a high official, not a landlord."

She then suggested to Mr. Lin that only eighty acres of the hundred acres of vacant land should be used to plant peanuts. The remaining twenty acres would be used to grow watermelons. She would supply the watermelon seeds and asked Uncle Lin to find a few households experienced with watermelon cultivation.
