Tong Zhi is having a hard time because no one is taking care of his daily life, while Da Zhuang is having a much better time!

If his wife were still Gao Shuzhen, this guy would definitely make her cook for Tong Zhi. After all, he doesn't have any feelings for Gao...

But the situation is completely different now. Even if He Yufen wanted to help Tong Zhi... he wouldn't agree to it, given the rumors already circulating. If He Yufen really went to cook for Tong Zhi, who knows what kind of gossip would spread.

Da Zhuang wants to use this incident to persuade his brother to find a wife as soon as possible... and he has already found a suitable candidate for him.

The other residents of Jiudaowanzi have also learned about Tong Zhi in recent years, so they don't dare to let their wives help him.

After all, Tong Zhi even had affairs with women like Jia Zhangshi, which made him extremely untrustworthy. Who would dare send their wife to help him at his house? Wouldn't that be like sending a lamb to the slaughter?

"Da Zhuang, what would you like to eat for lunch? How about bean and minced meat noodles?"

Da Zhuang is covered in injuries and has been cursing Chen Yanshi since yesterday.

"Anything is fine, just add more pork cracklings. I need to nourish myself properly..."

He Yufen happily sat down in front of the kang (a heated brick bed).

"You really need to take good care of yourself. I'll go prepare some for you right now. You should be secretly thrilled to have married me! If you hadn't been quick-witted back then, you'd be lying here with nothing to eat or drink right now."

Da Zhuang naturally understood what his wife meant; it now seemed that he was indeed stronger than Tong Zhiqiang.

But it's too late to regret it now! All my heartache is caused by that bastard Tong Zhi.

"Don't even mention it! It's all that bastard Tong Zhi's fault for causing trouble... Never mind, let's not talk about it. Just remember not to go to his house these next few days."

He Yufen verbally agreed not to go, but in her heart she was plotting how to curry favor with him. This was the time to show her true colors; the more she did this, the more likely she was to fool that big, simple-minded guy.

"Don't worry! Just seeing him annoys me. You lie down and rest. I'll go tidy up..."

He Yufen said she would tidy up a bit, and the rest of the time she would find opportunities to secretly bring Tong Zhi some food...

This really touched Tong Zhi deeply! He felt that He Yufen truly cared for him, and that her marriage to Dazhuang was only due to circumstances.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, Tong Zhi generously handed He Yufen a handful of change.

Although neither of them said a word, they both understood what each other meant.

Tong Zhi was deeply moved after eating the boiled egg that He Yufen gave him.

"Even a night of marriage is worth a hundred days of kindness! It's all that bastard Da Zhuang's fault. If it weren't for his interference, I wouldn't have had a bad marriage to He Yufen."

after lunch

Baifuquan Farm

Two cars drove into the farm gate...

The main leaders of the steel rolling mill all came here to check on the spring planting situation.

Secretary Wan's car carried Factory Director Yang, Factory Director Ma, Geng Zhi, and Ji Yunfeng, while Lin Chen's car only carried Jin Canlan, Bai Manning, and Liang Ladi.

Last night, Lin Chen scrutinized He Xiulian closely, so he had to show his face today. That way, she wouldn't keep making wild guesses...

Led by Director Xie of the farm, the group inspected the progress of spring planting, while Bai Manning followed the others to take publicity notes.

"Secretary Wan, Secretary Lin, look over there. This is the first batch of arable land available for our farm. This spring planting will cover about 2,000 mu. The reason we haven't determined the exact number of mu is mainly because it depends on the farm's labor force. The more people there are, the more land we can plant."

After listening to Director Xie's explanation, everyone felt that it made sense; no matter how much work is done on the land, crops will not grow on their own.

Lin Chen didn't care about these things; his main purpose was to take Jin Canlan and the others out for a stroll.

"Director Xie, please take us to see the warehouse! Spring planting is coming soon, and the seeds are crucial."

Lin Chen suggested going to the warehouse, and Director Xie naturally understood what he meant.

After visiting the fields, the group returned to the warehouse, where He Xiulian and dozens of female educated youths were busy selecting seeds.

When Lin Chen and his group arrived, the chattering and laughter in the warehouse abruptly ceased. The female educated youth all lowered their heads and began working diligently…

He Xiulian was looking down and hadn't noticed anything was wrong when Dai Yuling gently nudged her with her elbow.

"Look, our Secretary Lin is here!"

The little girl immediately looked up when she heard this, just as Lin Chen was looking at her.

He Xiulian never expected to see Dr. Lin again so soon—no, I should say Secretary Lin. It really was him… except that he looked even more handsome in his general's uniform today, with an even more refined air than he had on the train that day.

After Lin Chen winked at her, He Xiulian was so startled that she quickly lowered her head and continued working.

Now all the high-ranking officials were checking on the seeds, and Lin Chen was no exception. He walked straight to He Xiulian, with only Bai Manning following closely behind him.

After all, they already knew the main purpose of their trip when they arrived on the road, and Jin Canlan and Liang Ladi also kept glancing over from a distance.

"Sister Liang, look! It's that girl with two little braids."

"I saw it! Although it's not as good as Juanzi's, it's still pretty good."

Ye Juan is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Lin family, and no one can compare to her.

"There are only a few Juanzis in the whole country! We shouldn't compare ourselves to her..."

Lin Chen had already walked up behind He Xiulian.

"Young comrade, you really need to be more careful with your selection. Don't plant moldy or rotten seeds; it will not only affect the germination rate but also waste food. It's good to save the bad seeds you pick out to feed the pigs at the farm..."

Because there were people nearby, He Xiulian didn't dare to look up. She just whispered, "Secretary Lin... don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

There are no machines to select seeds now; it all depends on manual selection, bit by bit. Dozens of people dare not be careless in front of high-ranking officials…

Knowing her master was coming, Dai Yuling deliberately kept He Xiulian away from the others. They stood several meters away from the others so they could easily greet them.

Lin Chen took another step closer to He Xiulian and pretended to bend down to help her with her work, but in reality, he was just quietly greeting her.

"Comrade He Xiulian didn't expect us to meet so soon. I said on the train that I would treat you to Shanxi cuisine on Sunday, don't forget! I'm a man of my word and I never go back on my promise."

Lin Chen had said on the train that if they met again after entering the city, he would treat He Xiulian and Tian Yezi to a meal.

The two girls thought Dr. Lin was just being polite, but they never expected he would actually ask them for a consultation.

After the little girl slowly raised her head, she first looked at Dai Yuling beside her, since the three of them were closest to each other at the moment.

Dai Yuling acted as if she hadn't heard anything and continued to work diligently with her head down.

"Hey, thank you, Secretary Lin. I...where can I find you?"

The young girl wanted to refuse, but the words wouldn't come out. After all, this kind of opportunity doesn't come every day...

"Shanxi families in Xicheng District!"

At this moment, Dai Yuling gently kicked He Xiulian with her foot.

"Everyone can rest on Sunday. There will be a tractor to take everyone into town to do shopping. I'll take you into town to find..."

Lin Chen winked at the other person again before getting up and leaving, while Bai Manning gave He Xiulian a slight smile as a greeting.

The little girl smiled slightly at Bai Manning, still feeling like she was dreaming.

But the woman behind Secretary Lin is really beautiful, and then I look at myself dressed like an ugly duckling.

Bai Manning's style was always chic and fashionable, quite different from Jin Canlan and Liang Ladi's. How could the young girl compare to her now...?
