Chapter 259: Chapter 259: The Matter of the Seed Cannot Be Delayed

Director Lin was taken aback and immediately began shifting the blame, "Secretary Ren, it’s all my fault. Our town has always been getting our grain seeds from the county town seed company, but who could have expected a sudden change this year? I will make a call right now to inquire and see."

The county town seed company?

"Indeed, we need to inquire."

Director Lin immediately went to make the phone call and came back.

"Secretary, I’ve called and asked. They said the quality of this year’s grain seeds is worse, affected by last year’s issues. What should we do now?"

What?

Just a mention of being ’affected’ and that’s it?

They’re only telling them now when it’s time to plant?

"You all go back first, I will give you an answer tomorrow," Secretary Ren knew that each team leader had begun to get busy with the spring planting.

This seed issue could not be delayed.

"But Secretary, those seeds, we can’t transport them back now."

"Go ahead, start unloading!" Secretary Ren’s brow was furrowed; if the harvest isn’t good this year in the town’s teams, and the members go hungry, he would be the first one to blame.

After unloading, they drove the empty tractor back to the team.

"Dad, I’m worried about the seed issue causing problems. If there’s still no solution by tomorrow, we should rush to the county town or even the provincial city to buy seeds," Tianlei said.

Captain Zhao understood the severity of the situation.

Without seeds, what about the fields?

What about the team members?

They all rely on the harvest for their livelihoods.

"Alright, if Secretary Ren doesn’t resolve this issue by tomorrow, we will have to go farther to buy seeds."

Zhao Tianlei didn’t tell Yun Xiaoxiao about this when he got home.

"Didn’t you go to the town to buy seeds? How many did you get?" Xiaoxiao asked.

For such a large team, it would take several hundred pounds of seeds, right?

"There was a bit of an issue with the seeds."

An issue?

"Seeds are not qualified for sale?"

Zhao Tianlei instantly grabbed his wife’s hand, how had he not thought of this?

That batch of seeds was indeed substandard.

But how did substandard seeds get mixed in?

Was someone tampering with them in secret?

Or did someone pocket the money for the seeds?

"We don’t know yet, but we need to have a backup plan."

She could help buy some seeds if they were in short supply.

If they were too expensive and the amount needed was large, she wouldn’t dare to buy them, since it would be too conspicuous.

"What if all the seeds in the whole county town are like this?" Xiaoxiao asked.

Although the members value the grain, many still sell it after dividing it, keeping only enough for their families to eat.

Now, they still depend on the mercy of the heavens for their food.

Zhao Tianlei took a sharp breath. It couldn’t possibly be like this, could it?

"Buy seeds from other places."

But the team didn’t have much spare money.

"We need to arrange it in advance."

The next day, Captain Zhao and Tianlei went to the town again, only to receive an unsatisfactory answer.

"Dad, let’s go to the county town and have a look." That was the only option left now.

They drove the tractor to the seed station in the county town again, but after arriving, they managed to buy only a hundred pounds of corn seeds, and that, too, only after begging earnestly.

"Laosan, it looks like we need to go to a neighboring county town to buy seeds. Let’s hurry; otherwise, we might not be able to buy any." Captain Zhao didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if they couldn’t buy seeds—what about the food for this year?

So many team members were counting on it for their meals.

They turned to several county towns, but the seeds they bought were still not enough.

Yun Xiaoxiao saw that it had already gotten dark outside and no one had come home yet, which made her a bit worried.

Didn’t they buy any seeds?

Actually, she could help with the purchase.
