Chapter 1496: An Unexpected Guest

At the same time in the capital, Pan Chiyan was having a headache.

It had been more than a month, and the grains he bought with the help of Li Chenmo had been used up. Now, the higher-ups were asking him to procure more grains. He wanted to ask them where he would get the grains if there were no areas harvesting any grains.

Despite his annoyance and frustration, he could only talk some sense into them, but most of his words entered the right ear and came out of the left ear.

While he was in the midst of racking his brain, he heard a knock at the door and said, "Come in."

Opening the door, Bai Xue’er entered the study room while carrying a tray. She looked at her husband’s tired face and said, "Husband, today is Sunday. You should take some rest."

Seeing that it was his wife, Pan Chiyan took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose as he said, "I can’t rest right now. The granaries are empty, and we are entering the winter season. If we don’t make enough preparations, a lot of people will die this year."

Hearing this, Bai Xue’er placed the tray on the desk and handed a cup of tea to her husband while saying, "Husband, I heard from Comrade Luo that they will close the store at the end of this month. How about we go visit him and see if we can buy more grains?"

Pan Chiyan drank the tea and said, "Wife, it’s not that simple. Even if we can buy some grains for our family, it’s impossible to get enough grains to support everyone."

"The higher-ups are asking me to find more grains to support twelve cities. Not to mention that the budget is low, where can I find the grains? With these situations, how can I complete the task?"

Hearing this, Bai Xue’er leaned down and hugged him while saying, "Husband, no matter how you plan, this task is impossible to complete. So, you should take care of your health more. If something happens to you, what should Shiwu and I do?"

Seeing his wife worrying about him, Pan Chiyan finally nodded and said, "Alright, I will listen to you."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Bai Xue’er smiled and said, "It has been a while since we went out with Shiwu. Let’s bring him to visit your parents."

"Okay."

After the two of them packed up some things to bring over, they departed with their son. While he owned a bicycle, they opted to ride a bus to visit Mother Pan and Father Pan.

An hour later, they finally arrived at the Pan family house. The moment they walked into the compound, they noticed that the people gathering at the park were more than usual. Seeing this, they exchanged gazes but said nothing.

When the neighbors saw them coming, one of them asked, "Xue’er, coming to visit your in-laws again?"

While the neighbor was full of smiles, her words still felt sour. For the last two months, Bai Xue’er indeed visited Mother Pan very often. Every time she visited, she would bring something over, which made the neighbors envious.

Even though she noticed this, Bai Xue’er still smiled and replied, "It’s rare for my husband to have a day off, so we come to visit his parents."

After she said this, she nodded at them and entered the building.
