Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1407: Return To The Root ( 2 )

After a long silence, Grandpa Feng finally said, "Since you have made up your mind to stay, then I will report this matter to the team leader so you can join Autumn planting later. We will have to add your name back to our family's household register too."

Grandma Feng smiled and added, "Ah Chen, in the future, just live peacefully here. Our family didn't seek any fame or wealth. As long as our family can live well and have food, that's enough."

Feng Chen nodded and replied with a smile, "Mother, Father, I understand."

After he said this, he took out a thick envelope from his pocket and placed it on the small table.

"Ah Chen, what is this?" Grandma Feng asked.

"Mother, when the case was exposed and my name was cleared, the government gave me this as compensation. With the addition of my salary and severance pay given by the factory, I have a total of 13,719 yuan."

Then, he took out another thick envelope and added, "These are the coupons I collected over the years and given by the government."

"Mother, you are the one who manages our family's money. So, please keep this money and coupon. In the future, we can add meat or eggs to nourish our family's health."

Grandma Feng took the envelopes and said with a smile, "Mother will help you keep this money and coupons. In the future, if you want to remarry, we can use this as the bride price."

Hearing this, Feng Chen shook his head and said, "Mother, I won't remarry. Now, I only want to take care of the two of you and Ah Lin."

"This money, we will keep it for Ah Lin. When he grows up and wants to get married, we won't have to worry about having no money."

Grandma Feng looked at her son and noticed that he was serious about this matter. Since he still couldn't let go, there was no need to force him. After all they experienced, whether or not her son had a wife was no longer a big matter.

"Mother will listen to you," she nodded.

"Mother, Father, it's not early anymore. The two of you should rest early. I will go back to my room first," Feng Chen said before he left his parents' bedroom.

He returned to his room and looked at his son, who was sleeping soundly. While he no longer had the chance to grow old with his son's mother, it was enough to be able to watch his son grow up safely and happily.

Lying on the outer side of the bed, he covered his son's belly with a thin blanket before he drifted into a deep sleep.

'It's really good to be able to return to his roots,' he thought.

Early the next morning, the villagers in Xie Village woke up before dawn. After a day of rest, the villagers were full of energy, even their steps were light and brisk.

Li Chenmo and his family also woke up early. Besides Dong Huang, everyone woke up at two o'clock in the morning.

While Li Chenmo and Dong Li went to the pig pen, Lu Jueyu went to her space to prepare breakfast and snacks for her husband and son. After leaving her space, she went to water the crops in the greenhouse using her lake water.

At 3:30 AM, Lu Jueyu sent off her husband and son before she returned to her room to sleep.

Today, the production team staff also joined everyone in planting the seedlings. An Xuyuan went to the south area and saw Zhang Yulan working with her waist bent. Seeing her working diligently, the corner of his lips lifted.

Unlike the villagers, he didn't have any fixed workload during the planting and harvesting season, as his responsibility lay in other aspects. So, he just decided to come over and check the situation.

After making a round, he realized that compared to other families, the Zhang family could be counted as having only two people who could work.

Father Zhang was old and had a weak body, and he could only earn at most 6 work points a day. As for Mother Zhang, after she broke her leg, she was no longer able to walk normally, let alone work in the field.

So in the end, the ones who earned work points were Zhang Ermu and Zhang Yulan. Now that Liu Piao had joined their family, it could be counted as having another person to help earn food.

When he thought about it, he felt a numbing pain in his heart as he watched Zhang Yulan work. He rolled up his pants and sleeves, wore his bamboo hat, and walked to the field.

Seeing him, the villagers greeted him one after another, "Vice team leader!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yulan stopped what she was doing and turned to take a look. When she realized that he was coming to her, she asked, "Brother An, do you need anything?"

An Xuyuan looked at her and said, "I have free time today and came to help you and your brother."

He then pointed at the area near the trees and said, "You do that area, I will do this area."

While she was taken aback by his sudden generosity, Zhang Yulan would never refuse help. Not to mention, they could be counted as partners in crime. So, she nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Brother An!"

While the two of them didn't feel that something was wrong with their interactions, the villagers watching them had different ideas. The way they looked at them was full of meaning and gossip.

Some female educated youths and young women who admired An Xuyuan and had the intention to become his spouse glared at Zhang Yulan.

They never thought that he would one day treat a woman so gently and even help her do the work.

For the villagers, there was an unwritten rule that if a man was interested in a woman, he would help her do her work so she could earn more work points. This way, it was equal to him sending her food without breaking the rules.
