Background
Qing Yukai is a distant cousin of Qing Mengzhu and belongs to the same generation. He is six months younger than Mengzhu 4.
Story Role
Farming and village affairs
When the lease on Qing Mengzhu’s family fields expired, Yukai explained that Uncle Dapang’s second daughter and her husband wanted to rent the land. He had not called the prospective tenants to the meeting because Mengzhu had not yet decided whether to lease it 4.
Yukai encouraged Mengzhu to consider farming the land himself. He explained the local agricultural machinery services and the village’s arrangements for selling produce through supermarkets and community-supported agriculture. When Mengzhu chose to grow lotus in his ponds, Yukai confirmed that no report was needed and recommended workers to till them 5 6.
Later, Yukai suggested renting an unused pond for compost rather than digging a small pit in Mengzhu’s crowded backyard. He offered to help persuade pond owners if necessary; Mengzhu subsequently rented a pond of over 600 square meters 110 111.
When Mengzhu sought land for Sichuan pepper cultivation, Yukai suggested unused terraced fields instead of another mountain and identified villagers who wanted to rent theirs out 157 158.
Public recognition and business support
After Mengzhu rescued a drowning boy, Yukai accompanied the child’s parents and other villagers to thank him. He helped the parents to their feet and organized a photograph for the village’s “civilized village” promotional material 95.
Yukai also spoke in support of Mengzhu’s company during its registration in Shuiqing Town. Qing Guozhi likewise spoke to people on the company’s behalf, and the reviewing authorities promptly approved it 120.
Well application
Mengzhu approached Yukai about drilling a well at home. Unfamiliar with the relevant policy because no one had asked since he took office, Yukai offered to consult higher authorities. After an inspection, he informed Mengzhu that the application had been approved 224 225.
