Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

After a moment, Li Chenmo nodded and said, "Okay. Then I will inform my friends to prepare the grain. Once they receive the money, they will send it to the Capital."

Hearing this, Pan Chiyan asked, "Brother Chenmo, what about the delivery fee—"

"I will pay for it. Just take it as my contribution to the country."

Pan Chiyan was moved by his words and said, "Brother Chenmo, I thank you on behalf of the people. Thank you!"

"As a fellow countryman, this is what I should do," Li Chenmo replied with a smile.

Pan Chiyan stood up and said, "I have to go contact the leaders, so I won't stay any longer. Brother Chenmo, Cousin, I will take my leave."

"Okay."

After seeing him off, Li Chenmo returned to the living room and asked, "Brother Houzi, how is the matter with He Xieyu?"

Houzi took a sip of the honey water, took out a document from his pocket, and said, "He agrees to your offer. This is the document you asked for."

Li Chenmo checked the document and took out the map he had drawn previously. He handed it to Houzi and said, "Brother Houzi, this is the map for the transaction location in the mountain foothills."

Houzi checked the map and asked, "Brother Chenmo, are you sure this place is safe?"

Li Chenmo nodded and said, "This place is surrounded by tall trees, and it's far from the road often taken by the villagers. I didn't see any trace of people going there before. You can give the map to He Xieyu and tell him that he can get the goods tomorrow at midnight."

Houzi nodded and asked, "What about the price?"

"For rice, it's 4 yuan and 30 cents per kilogram. As for the coarse grains, it's 70 cents per kilogram."

The moment Houzi heard this, he looked at him and asked, "Brother Chenmo, you plan to do cross-subsidies?"

Li Chenmo didn't hide his intention and said, "The main problem of the current crisis is not from the wealthy people or the government, but from the commoners. As long as we can fulfill their demand, the commoners will calm down."

"By selling the coarse grains at the same price as before, people will think that the food shortage has been solved. When people no longer panic, they won't go into a buying frenzy. This will give the government time to focus on autumn planting."

"But it's not a permanent solution," Houzi said with a frown.

Li Chenmo nodded and replied, "That's why I gave the method on how to improve compost and soil quality. Besides that, I also gave the data regarding the bamboo greenhouse to He Xieyu."

"With his position, he will be able to bring those data to the leaders. As long as they implement the methods countrywide, the next harvest will have better results."

When Houzi heard this, his eyes lit up and a flash of admiration flickered inside. Since Li Chenmo already made a thorough plan, he didn't have any more worries.

After keeping the map, he stood up and said, "I still have matters to attend to. Let's talk when everything is done."

"Okay."

Li Chenmo saw off Houzi and locked the gate. When he went to the backyard, he saw his wife reading a book while leaning on the lounge chair.

Seeing him coming, Lu Jueyu asked, "Husband, is everything going according to your plan?"

Li Chenmo pulled a chair and sat beside his wife before he said, "Everything is according to our plan. Tomorrow, we have to go to the mountain foothills and prepare the items for He Xieyu."

"Okay."

After a moment of pause, Lu Jueyu asked again, "Husband, when will the production team come to get the paddy seeds?"

Checking his watch, Li Chenmo replied, "They should be here in another half an hour."

While waiting for the production team members, the two of them chatted in the backyard. Half an hour later, the bells rang and Li Chenmo went to open the gate. This time, Lu Jueyu didn't go out and went to the bedroom.

When Li Chenmo opened the door, he was taken aback to see Jiang Zemin was also there. He pulled open the gate and asked, "Brother Jiang, what brings you here today?"

"Hello, Brother Li. The brigade's secretary has received a report that you are donating your paddy seeds to the production team. Since this matter is very important, the brigade's secretary sent several people over to help," Jiang Zemin replied with a smile.

As soon as he finished his words, An Xuyuan glanced at him. Everyone knew that the brigade's secretary sent his people over not to help but to check the seeds' quality.

While no one said it out loud, Li Chenmo noticed the tense atmosphere between the brigade's staff and the production team's staff. Even though he noticed it, he pretended not to and said, "Everyone, please come in."

After they entered the house, everyone was stunned by the greenhouses. They had heard about this project during the meeting yesterday, but this was the first time they saw the greenhouses.

While the building was built using bamboo, the rooftop could be moved, and the sunlight was abundant. They also noticed bamboo pipes connected to the greenhouses.

From the design and data they saw during the meeting, those bamboo pipes should be the ones used to control the temperature during winter.

When they arrived at the backyard, Li Chenmo led them to the underground cellar and said, "Comrades, the paddy seeds are stored inside the underground cellars."

After he opened the door, he said, "Comrade An, I managed to get a total of 15,000 kilograms of paddy seeds. Half of it was given by my friends. As retired soldiers, we decided to donate the seeds as a contribution to our country. We hope that these seeds can help solve the food crisis."

As soon as he said this, everyone was surprised. The amount of paddy seeds they donated was enough to feed everyone in the production team for a year. They couldn't believe that they were willing to give it for free.
