Chapter 787 - Chapter 787 Chapter 788 Give My Wife a Surprise _1

Chapter 787: Chapter 788: Give My Wife a Surprise _1 Chapter 787: Chapter 788: Give My Wife a Surprise _1 Now I know who Meng Yunhan is.

She is the wife of Vice-Commander Yun, as well as the manager of the Lucky Food Factory.

Liu Zihan invited Old Yu to her wedding, of course.

“Wife, if it were not for you today, Lu Jianjun would have missed his auspicious moment,” Yun Hao whispered to his wife.

He intentionally dressed up handsomely for the day.

“We’ll have them treat us to a meal then.” Having been classmates with Liu Zihan for many years, Meng Yunhan knew Liu Zihan could cook, albeit only simple dishes.

“Forget it! Lu Jianjun’s cooking skills are no match for mine.” What on earth did this full-blown contempt mean?

“Wife, that ring Lu Jianjun gave Liu Zihan is quite nice. When can we buy one too?”

That gold ring, although just a small one, his wife didn’t have it. After hearing what his wife said today, it dawned on him that the ring was not ordinary, it was a symbol of commitment.

“Right now?” She had just given a large red envelope and still had money left. Considering the current gold price should be relatively low, she could probably buy a set for just over a hundred bucks!

“Let’s wait a bit longer.” He insisted on paying for the ring himself, planning to surprise his wife later.

Liu Zihan married Lu Jianjun, and they moved into the military compound after their wedding.

Initially, Lu Jianjun was not willing, but Liu Zihan wished to mend the relationship between him and his father. Plus, the courthouse was not far from the military compound.

The Liu family gave Liu Zihan a bicycle as part of her dowry; Lu Zhendong, however, provided his daughter-in-law with everything else.

Just as Meng Yunhan was about to break ground on the construction of the factory, she received a letter from her parents-in-law.

There was a drought at home, and the harvest would be cut by half.

“Ahao, what do you think?” Meng Yunhan handed the letter to Yun Hao for him to read.

After skimming the letter, Yun Hao remarked, “What can we do about it? If the harvest is halved, so be it. I’m not the god who can make it rain. That’s just how it is when you depend on nature.”

Meng Yunhan understood this too.

“We will not return home this year. If Xiaomen is in a tight spot, she will ask for our help.” Yun Hao said lightly.

After all, their livelihood depended on mother nature. During years of little rainfall, their harvest would be scant. Conversely, during years with ample rain, their harvest would be correspondingly bountiful.

Having farmed for so many years, they should understand this logic.

“Okay.” Meng Yunhan figured her parents-in-law probably wouldn’t blame her if the harvest was too small to pay the grain tax. After all, she had no control over the rainfall.

In Qingzhao Village.

After packing the sun-dried corn, her parents-in-law went to Xiaomen’s house.

“How’s the rice going?”

Upon seeing her parents-in-law, Yun Men and Zhang Jiang replied, “It rained a bit a few days ago, and we have begun to harvest the rice. This year’s crop is not great, but luckily we used the seed third-sister-in-law sent by mail. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to meet our grain tax obligations.”

“Indeed, thank god third-sister-in-law sent drought-resistant seeds. Otherwise, we would’ve faced starvation. While it’s been hard work with no pay-off this year, at least we don’t have to deal with famine. That’s a silver lining.”

It’s always best to look on the bright side.

“How about the corn?”

Yun Men replied, “The corn harvest is pretty good, albeit we planted too little. Some were planted on wider field borders, and they didn’t wither.” The harvested corn had all been ground into flour.

A couple of days later, a heavy rain came.

The later-planted rice was just in time for this rain.

This brought smiles to the faces of Yun Men and Zhang Jiang.

The early-planted rice had withered a bit, but the crops planted later did not.
