Chapter 89 The Village Chief Has Important Announcement

"Now everyone needs to prepare food, clothes and some daily necessities. War can break out at any time. We must be prepared in advance just in case."

Village chief Li shouted loudly, and his voice echoed over the village like a torch, igniting the fire of hope deep in the hearts of the villagers and arousing their determination and courage to unite.

"Village chief, we do have clothes, but food...we have to hand in food every year, and each family only has more than 100 kilograms of food left. This amount of food is totally not enough! And even if we want to go to the town to buy clothes, we don't have that much silver!" A villager shook his head with a sad face, his face full of distress and helplessness.

Facing the villagers' concerns, Village Chief Li did not panic, but comforted everyone with a gentle but firm tone: "Don't worry, I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties. But before that, do you remember the little daughter of Li Yanhong's family in our village?"

Hearing what Village Chief Li said, the villagers all looked up with a thoughtful look on their faces.

At this time, Li Zhuang said: "Of course I remember. When the child was born, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. It was a rare spectacle that can only be seen once in a century!" As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone present.

The villagers, who originally had sad faces, seemed to remember something at this moment, and a glimmer of light gradually appeared in their eyes.

They began to talk and reminisce about the spectacular sight they had seen on that special day. The villagers were full of curiosity and expectation about this unique child.

"Yes, that child is indeed special. Maybe she will bring us good luck!" another villager interrupted, with some anticipation in his tone.

Village chief Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the villagers who had rekindled their hope.

He knew that in this difficult time, confidence was more important than anything else. As long as the villagers did not give up hope, they would be able to find a solution to the problem.

So, he continued to encourage everyone: "That's right, we can't be easily defeated by difficulties. Let's work together and overcome this difficulty together!"

Encouraged by Village Chief Li, the villagers expressed their willingness to unite and jointly face the upcoming challenges.

They began to actively discuss how to prepare supplies, how to strengthen fortifications, and how to protect the safety of themselves and their families.

"Yes, the child's name is Li Youran. When she was born, God seemed to have favored her and sent down a bunch of mysterious seeds to her home. These seeds were rice seeds. However, what is different is that these rice seeds contain magical power. It is said that the yield per acre is as high as 1,000 kilograms!" Village chief Li began to get to the point.

"Do such magical seeds really exist?" a villager asked loudly, unable to contain his excitement.

"Yes, yes, if there really is such a high-yield rice seed, we don't have to worry about food anymore!" Other villagers also echoed and talked about it. Some questioned whether this was just a legend, while others were full of expectations and eager to witness the miracle with their own eyes.

Village Chief Li raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He said solemnly, "Fellow villagers, no matter whether we can eventually grow a thousand kilograms of harvest per mu, we must never forget who gave us this gift. We should be grateful and never forget our roots!"

Hearing this, every villager nodded thoughtfully, indicating that they understood the deep meaning.

They all turned their gazes in the direction of Li Yanhong, with sincere gratitude in their eyes.

Facing everyone's gaze, Li Yanhong smiled slightly and humbly responded to everyone's kindness.

"Come to my house one by one to get the seeds." Village chief Li invited everyone into his house.

Some people still had doubts, fearing that it was fake. When they thought about the fact that the village chief said that the yield was 1,000 kilograms per acre, they took the seeds home with doubts.

Li Yanhong didn't take it because he had seeds at home.

Village chief Li told everyone in detail all the things that needed attention, and the villagers listened attentively.

At this moment, Li Yanhong saw Li Yankai standing next to him and quickly greeted him, "Second brother, long time no see!"

Li Yankai laughed and responded, "Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. I heard that my elder brother went to work for you?"

Li Yanhong nodded, and then Li Yankai quickly changed the subject, looking at Li Yanqiang, and asked with a smile: "So how are you doing working for my third brother now?"

Li Yanqiang was straightforward and admitted directly: "Yes, I am indeed working for my third brother now. Second brother, do you want to come with us?"

However, Li Yankai politely declined, "No, no, my mother-in-law's family has a business that needs my help." He muttered to himself that he was not willing to work as hard as they did and earn such a meager salary.

At this time, Father Li quietly took out a few packets of seeds from his sleeve and stuffed them into Li Yankai's hands.

Li Yankai felt a little helpless, but was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to take it.

In fact, he looked down on his younger brother and older brother from the bottom of his heart, thinking that they were incompetent and only knew how to work hard. However, for the sake of face, he still had to pretend.

"Thank you, third brother." After Li Yankai pretended to thank him, he turned around and went home.

As soon as he got home, Xu Lianxiang helped him undress and asked, "You're back. What did the village chief say?"

Li Yankai said with an irritated look on his face: "The village chief asked us to go there just for the so-called high-yield grain seeds, and said that they were a gift from heaven when my third brother's daughter was born. Who would believe such nonsense? Only those country bumpkins would believe it."

"Oh, my third brother's daughter? I haven't even met her yet, and I don't know what she looks like. I haven't visited my parents for a long time." Xu replied casually while massaging Li Yankai's shoulders.

Xu was originally the daughter of a merchant family. Her parents owned several shops, some selling food and some doing small business.

"These are the seeds given by my third brother. If you want to plant them, find someone to help you plant them!" Li Yankai took out a handful of seeds from his sleeve and handed them to Xu.

Xu took it and nodded.

"Our eldest son will take part in the examination for Tongsheng this year. If he can pass, he will be more promising than our eldest brother's family and our third brother's family." Xu thought happily, as if she had already seen the day when her son would be named on the list of successful candidates.

If my son can successfully become a student this year, and then pass the imperial examinations in the future, and continue to pass higher examinations, he will definitely achieve great things.

"Yes, our son has a promising future. I heard that my third brother's eldest son went to the Academy of Rites and Music." Li Yankai heard people in the village talking about it.

"I've heard about it, too, but I don't know whether it's true or not. When our sons are on leave, we'll know if we pay attention when we go to pick them up." Mrs. Xu still wanted to see it with her own eyes before she could believe it.
