When Gu Ye returned to the village to plant rice, he was initially questioned by the villagers (who felt that "organic rice was not high-yielding") and had conflicts with neighboring villages due to irrigation issues. After Su He came to teach, he not only helped the children in the village make up lessons, but also took the initiative to help Gu Ye "explain the benefits of organic rice to the villagers" (such as organizing children to observe the rice fields to let parents see the quality of the rice). Gu Ye helped Su He repair the dilapidated classroom and install solar lights in the school. In their daily life of "working in the rice fields" and "taking evening walks to talk about their ideals", the relationship between the two gradually deepened.
