When Shi Anan returned to the summer house at school, she was still very angry because there were not many clutter here. Now there were not many people and it was quiet. Xiao Yi was quietly carving in a corner here.

Seeing that An An came back angrily, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention it. I'm really pissed off by those villagers. I don't understand why they are so picky about getting a summer house. People outside can't enjoy it. They really don't know how to appreciate what they have." Shi Anan complained about the previous scene to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi listened to her quietly, picked up a kettle next to her and handed it to her: "Don't be angry, drink some water. Human desires are something that can never be satisfied. These desires can make people progress, but they are also human bad habits."

Shi Anan took the kettle and took a sip of water. She said nothing and just looked at him quietly.

Xiao Yi continued, "Precisely because desires cannot be satisfied, when faced with a choice, people will subconsciously choose what is most beneficial to them and use any means to obtain it. These villagers have been protected too well by you. They enjoy more, so they want more."

Shi Anan said leisurely: "That's still my fault."

Xiao Yi laughed. He felt that Shi Anan was inexplicably cute when she said those angry words. She had been either calm or pretending to be relaxed to liven up the atmosphere. It was rare to see her childish side. "How could it be your fault? They don't know what's good for them. Their desires are growing."

"So what you did today was pretty good. You scolded them and woke them up. Why are you still angry with me?"

"Besides, you are just the one in power, not their parents. It is not your responsibility to educate them. As long as you make good decisions, everyone will follow your footsteps. So, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Hmph!" Shi Anan snorted coldly in response. She didn't know what to say. It was true that she had protected these villagers too well. Maybe it was because she had the system. She felt that she naturally had a heavy burden to save this dynasty. But in fact, the system had mostly provided her with assistance for so long, and had not issued any mandatory tasks for her to complete. But she was thinking about doing every task as perfectly as possible.

Therefore, her desire for control in the development of Guangming Village was very strong. Everyone was doing things according to her ideas, and she was the one who tried to find ways to solve any difficulties. This included the making of bricks and cement. Whenever there were any problems, everyone would subconsciously come to her for help.

Just like the village chief, who is obviously an old hand at farming for many years, he still has to ask her opinion again on when to start spring plowing and apply fertilizer. It's not that the old village chief doesn't understand these new things, because An An had already told him about these things, and he knows what to do and when.

But he still reported everything to her in detail, only because she subconsciously regarded these ancient people as people who knew nothing, and would not feel at ease unless she personally asked about everything. Over time, these people became more and more dependent on her.

She also thought of the solution to the heatwave late at night and informed everyone the next day. But she didn't give anyone else a chance to think about how to solve the problem, even though she wasn't the only one facing this disaster.

This is really wrong. If it goes on for a long time, if one day she can't solve the problem, then these people will not be able to think of other countermeasures. After something goes wrong, will they blame her for being useless?

A real person in power does not need to do everything by himself, but needs to learn to let go appropriately. Otherwise, it may be okay if the village is small, but what if he has to manage a city or a country? Wouldn't he be exhausted to death if he has to take care of every detail?

If a mature person in power encountered something like today, she would not personally go over to question these people. She would have directly asked the patrol team to drive them away and re-establish the rules. But she went over to debate with others, but ended up failing to reach an agreement and getting herself angry. It's a bit ridiculous to think about it.

She also said that she wanted to cultivate her own talents, but these talents have only been exposed to book knowledge so far, and have little opportunity to do independent scientific research. It seems that she still needs to learn to let go and give everyone some room to express themselves freely.

Shi Anan reflected on herself and finally recovered her mood. She pursed her lips and said to Xiao Yi embarrassedly: "Thank you, you, what you said makes some sense."

Xiao Yi stared at her carefully and found that she was not still angry. He breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject, saying, "It has been carved. Here you go."

Shi Anan took the wood carving and played with it lovingly for a while: "You are still the best, little pretty girl. You are always the most reliable one no matter what I ask you to help with."

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "I can be more reliable. Do you want to try?"

"Ah?" Shi Anan looked at him blankly.

Xiao Yi was about to open his mouth, but closed it when he saw Shi An'an's tender face. Forget it, she hasn't reached marriage age yet, he can just wait a little longer, he is not in a hurry.

"Little beauty, what do you mean? Why do you stop talking halfway?" Shi Anan asked.

Xiao Yi replied: "Nothing, I just suddenly realized that being reliable all the time is tiring."

"Tsk." Shi Anan curled her lips. If you don't want to say it, then forget it. I'll kill you if you hold it back.

Xiao Yi was immersed in carving again. Shi Anan sat beside him, playing with the extra wood out of boredom. Just then, the village chief came over holding a big watermelon.

"Miss Shi, Miss Shi! Look, how big this watermelon is!" The village chief excitedly showed the watermelon to Shi Anan.

Shi Anan looked at it carefully and saw that the melon was indeed very big, almost like a winter melon. She jokingly said, "This can't be our melon king."

The village chief nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is the biggest melon in the field. I brought it here as soon as I saw it. Miss Shi, please try it."

It has indeed been a long time since I last ate watermelon. Shi Anan was a little greedy: "Village Chief, just cut it here. I can't finish this watermelon. Let everyone have a taste, too."

"Okay." When the village chief was cutting the melon, the other villagers who were there heard that they also had a share, so they all came over to see what it was.

"Wow, it's so big, is it a winter melon?" asked an old man. He was not involved in watermelon planting, so he didn't know what variety this was.

The village chief looked at the person who was speaking and recognized him: "Sun Dazhuang, this is a watermelon. You brag every day that you have been farming for decades and there is no crop you don't recognize, but you don't recognize a watermelon."

The village chief now feels very pleased with himself as if he is the only one sober while everyone else is drunk. You may not have heard of watermelon, but I have tasted it!

"Hey, if you had let me plant it, how could I not know what it is? The seeds I know are all local seeds. It's normal that I don't recognize the unique seeds given by the gods. You recognized the sweet potato before!" Sun Dazhuang retorted unyieldingly.

Two old men in their fifties were bickering with each other, and Shi Anan was watching with great interest, which profoundly demonstrated what it meant to be a spectator.

But this time he was really eating the watermelon. Although the village chief was bickering, it did not slow down his speed in cutting the watermelon. In a short while, the watermelon changed from a round shape to slices neatly placed on the table.
