After a long silence, An Xuyuan asked, "Comrade Li, are you sure you don't want any compensation for this?"
Li Chenmo smiled and replied, "Even if I'm no longer a soldier, I'm still someone who was born in this country. It's my duty to help my country during a crisis."
An Xuyuan nodded after hearing his words and said, "I understand. Thank you for your contribution, Comrade Li."
"It's what I should do."
After some pleasantries, they finally entered the underground cellar. The moment they saw the amount of the paddy seeds, they were stunned speechless. The seeds were preserved nicely, and the quality was far better than what the Capital sent last year.
Since it was no longer early, everyone quickly moved the seeds from the cellars to the carts outside. It took them a total of three hours to move everything.
Seeing the empty cellar, Jiang Zemin asked, "Brother Li, if you donate everything to the country, then what about your family?"
Patting his shoulder, Li Chenmo said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, don't worry. My family still has enough grains to last us until the next harvest."
Hearing this, Jiang Zemin let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's good then."
Not long after the production team's staff and the brigade's staff members left, Dong Li and Dong Huang returned with the fish they caught.
Seeing their father, Dong Huang ran towards him while shouting, "Father, we are back!"
Li Chenmo squatted down to hug his daughter and said, "Slow down, be careful of falling."
As she threw herself into her father's embrace, Dong Huang said, "Father, we caught five big fish today. My brother alone caught three big fish."
Seeing her bright smile, Li Chenmo chuckled and said, "Ah Li and Xiao Huang are so great!"
Dong Li's cheeks flushed from his father's praise and he said, "I'm still far from you, Father."
Li Chenmo stood up with his daughter in his arms and patted his son's head gently. "Let's go in. Your mother has been waiting for the two of you," he said.
They locked the gate, and the three of them walked toward the house. While Dong Li and Dong Huang went to take a bath, Li Chenmo helped his wife cook dinner.
After dinner, the children went to their bedrooms to do their homework given by their father. As for Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu, they entered the space and did some exercise in bed.
Early the next morning in the county town's hospital, Song Yan was talking with the Su family in his office.
"Uncle Su, Aunt Su, the surgery is scheduled for today at ten o'clock in the morning. Before we are able to perform the surgery for Lanying, we need you to sign the consent form," Song Yan said as he handed a folder to them.
