Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1279

Both Mother Zhang and Father Zhang stood up and nodded at Father Liu’s words. The next time they visited, it would be for the official engagement ceremony.

Father and Mother Liu saw the Zhang couple and Aunt Lin off before returning inside.

After leaving the Liu family’s house, Aunt Lin went with the Zhangs to further discuss the details of the wedding ceremony.

By the time the sun slanted toward the western horizon, Zhang Ermu, Zhang Yulan, and An Xuyuan had finally finished harvesting the wheat field.

Zhang Ermu placed the last sack of wheat onto the bullock cart and asked, "Vice Leader, when will you come to collect the wheat?"

An Xuyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and replied, "Brother Zhang, please keep the wheat for me for now. I will come to get it in a few days."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "If possible, could you help me dry the wheat? I need it for seeds."

Hearing this, Zhang Ermu asked, "Vice Leader, wasn’t the wheat seed from the government enough?"

"The quantity is sufficient, but the quality is terrible," An Xuyuan sighed.

"Half of the seeds are broken and unusable. As for the rest, even if we plant them, next year’s harvest will drop by more than 30% because of the poor seed quality," he added with a deep frown.

Zhang Yulan looked at him in surprise. She had thought that he wanted a share for himself, but it turned out to be for the production team.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ermu asked, "Vice Leader, how many seeds do you need for planting?"

An Xuyuan hesitated briefly before replying, "If possible, I would like to replace all the seeds. But my share is barely enough to cover the unusable seeds."

Zhang Ermu considered giving him all the wheat seeds they just harvested in exchange for the broken ones. While broken seeds were worthless for planting, they were still fine for grinding into flour.

Before he could voice his thoughts, Zhang Yulan spoke up, "Brother An, would using all the wheat from this field be enough?"

An Xuyuan was taken aback by her words. She was unwilling to give him more shares before, so why did she suddenly change her mind?

Although he didn’t know what she was thinking, he still calculated the amount before he said, "It should be enough. These wheat grains are high quality, and the chances of failed germination are low."

After hearing this, Zhang Yulan nodded and said, "Then just give us the broken seeds, and you can take all of these."

An Xuyuan looked at her in surprise and asked, "Zhang Yulan, are you sure?"

"Well, broken seeds are still the same when ground into flour, but if we use them for planting, our harvest will suffer next year. My family works hard to earn work points—if the crops fail, we will have nothing to eat next year," Zhang Yulan explained.
