After reading the letter, Mother Zhang burst out crying as she covered her face. Father Zhang could only comfort his wife and said, "Wife, why are you crying? Shouldn’t you be happy that our daughter has a good husband and in-laws?"
Hearing this, Mother Zhang nodded and quickly wiped away her tears. After calming down, she said hoarsely, "Husband, let’s go to the town tomorrow before the weather turns cold."
"Alright."
"I will keep the money away and prepare lunch," she added.
"Wife, I will help you," Father Zhang said before the two of them went to the kitchen.
Since today’s separation was triggered by Zhang Erlang’s wife trying to steal money and being caught by Zhang Sanlang’s wife, they didn’t dare to leave the door open.
So, before going to the kitchen, Mother Zhang locked her bedroom and carried the key with her. She would tie the keys together and make them into a necklace. This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about losing the keys.
While Mother Zhang and Father Zhang were cooking their lunch, Li Chenze returned the bicycle to his third brother.
"Third brother, thank you for lending me your bicycle. I have to go back now, my wife is waiting for me," he said.
Li Chenmo nodded and took a bamboo basket filled with meat and vegetables. Besides that, there were also some snacks, fruits, and tonic wine inside.
Handing over the bamboo basket to his eldest brother, he said, "Eldest brother, these are some fruits we grow in the greenhouses. Bring them back and have a taste."
Hearing this, Li Chenze didn’t refuse and accepted the bamboo basket. "Thank you."
After a brief conversation, he left in large strides while Li Chenmo returned to the backyard to accompany his wife and teach his children how to weave a bamboo basket.
At the same time, in the brigade office, Jiang Zemin was sitting across from the brigade secretary.
After checking the data given by Li Chenmo regarding the irrigation system, the brigade secretary smiled and said, "This method is indeed more efficient and saves a lot of water."
Jiang Zemin nodded and said, "Sir, if we are able to implement this irrigation method, we won’t have to worry about the crops withering during summer. What’s more, without the need to water the crops directly, we don’t have to worry about them freezing in winter."
When the brigade secretary heard this, he kept nodding and said with excitement, "Comrade Jiang, help me make several copies of this data and these methods. I will send them to the Capital and several nearby brigades."
"Also, inform everyone to have a meeting and discuss the plan to implement this irrigation system as soon as possible. Before the weather turns cold, we must make enough preparations."
Taking the documents, Jiang Zemin stood up and said, "Sir, I will do it right away."
"Good."
After he left, the brigade secretary made a phone call. Not long after, the call was picked up. "Hello."
