Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1396

After making the phone call, Song Yan returned to the hospital dormitory to take a shower and prepare for his night duty. Unbeknownst to him, his mother was already preparing for her trip from the capital to his current place.

Three days later, Zhang Ermu went to the production team's office not long after the sun rose on the eastern horizon. When he arrived, the office door had just been opened.

Seeing him come so early, Comrade Han asked in surprise, "Comrade Zhang, what brings you here so early? Did something happen?"

Usually, at this time, villagers were out working in the fields, so it was rare for them to visit the office.

"Comrade Han, I came to request a day off for my family and Liu Piao's family. Could you help inform the team leader?" Zhang Ermu asked.

Just as he finished speaking, An Xuyuan arrived on his bicycle. Seeing him, they both greeted him, "Good morning, Vice Team Leader."

After parking his bicycle, An Xuyuan nodded and returned the greeting. "Good morning."

"Brother Ermu, are you here to request a day off for tomorrow?" he asked.

Hearing this, Comrade Han glanced at them knowingly. He had heard about the close relationship between the vice team leader and the Zhang family.

Zhang Ermu nodded and replied, "Vice Team Leader, tomorrow is Ah Piao's and my wedding day. I would like to request a day off for my family and the Liu family."

Since autumn planting was under An Xuyuan's supervision, it was reasonable to go through him for leave approval.

"That's not a problem. Brother Zhang, you can go back to your work for now. Don't worry—I will take care of this," An Xuyuan replied.

Hearing this, Zhang Ermu smiled and said, "Thank you, Vice Team Leader."

After Zhang Ermu left, Comrade Han asked, "Vice Team Leader, if we give both families the day off, won't it delay the work quite a bit?"

"We won't be giving the Zhang family and the Liu family a day off," An Xuyuan replied meaningfully.

Hearing this, Comrade Han was stunned. He had just said to leave the matter to him—why was he now saying he wouldn't give them a day off?

While he was still puzzled, An Xuyuan entered the office and turned on the village loudspeaker. A moment later, his voice echoed across the village.

"Good morning, comrades. Due to our advanced progress on the autumn planting schedule and everyone's hard work, we will have a day off tomorrow. Have a day's rest before we resume planting the day after tomorrow."

He repeated the announcement once more before turning off the speaker.

The moment the villagers heard this, they were shocked. Never before had they been granted a day off during the planting or harvest seasons. Getting a day off during such a busy time, everyone began chatting about the news as they worked.

Though most didn't know the reason, those aware of the upcoming wedding between the Zhang and Liu families understood—the day off was the vice team leader's gift to the couple so they could properly celebrate.

In the farmland, Zhang Yulan turned to her father and asked, "Father, did the vice team leader really give everyone a day off?"
