Hearing this, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Father, my husband treats me very well. He also keeps me company whenever he has free time."
Seeing how she defended her husband, Father Li chuckled and said, "Look at you. I just said a few words to him, and you are already standing up for him. Keep this up, and you will spoil him rotten."
Lu Jueyu laughed when she heard her father-in-law's words and replied, "Father, if I don't spoil my husband, then who will?"
After she said this, Li Chenmo grinned and added proudly, "My wife is the one who dotes on me the most."
Although he had just been fed a bowl of dog food, Father Li still felt delighted seeing his sons living in harmony. If his wife were still alive to witness this, she would be grinning from ear to ear.
When it was four o'clock in the afternoon, Han Yuheng, An Xuyuan, and the production team staff walked to the stage and took their seats.
Seeing the leaders present, the villagers slowly stopped talking and waited for them to start the discussion.
After a while, An Xuyuan took the megaphone and said, "Welcome and thank you for coming, Comrade. Today, we gathered here to discuss the autumn planting schedule."
"As everyone already noticed, the government was experimenting to find the best time for planting rice and wheat. If we succeed in finding the right time, we will be able to plant twice in a year, which will improve our living conditions and solve the food shortage we are facing."
"At the beginning of the month, we received winter wheat seeds from the capital for the experiment. Unfortunately, the seeds were broken, and we couldn't germinate them."
The moment everyone heard this, a small commotion happened. If the seeds were broken, it's indeed impossible to germinate them and use them as seedlings. But the capital already gave the order—if they didn't plant the winter wheat, they would be punished.
When they thought about getting a bad record, the villagers were worried. One of them raised his hand and asked, "Vice team leader, if the seeds are broken, how can we plant? Shouldn't we report it to the capital and ask for new seeds?"
Hearing this question, An Xuyuan smiled and glanced in the Zhang family's direction. When his gaze landed on Zhang Yulan, his eyes softened by several degrees—which he didn't notice.
After he averted his gaze from Zhang Yulan, he looked at the villagers, nodded, and said, "We have reported this matter to the capital, but they didn't have any extra seeds. So, we could only try to find the solutions by ourselves."
"Fortunately, when we were at the end of our wits, the Zhang family offered to exchange their wheat seeds with our broken seeds."
As soon as he finished his words, the villagers raised their doubts.
"Vice team leader, everyone knows the situation of the Zhang family. Let alone having good seeds, they might not even have the broken seeds. They can't exchange good seeds with the production team's broken seeds."
