Hearing the familiar voices, Zhao Zexuan quickly took a few steps, knelt down in front of his parents, and said with a hint of guilt, "Your son is unfilial."

Zhao's father and mother had heard about the harrowing events of the past year, and naturally felt sorry for Zhao Zexuan. At this moment, they couldn't care less about anything else. With a face full of excitement, they pulled him up from the ground and said repeatedly, "You've lost weight. You must have had a tough time out there."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan shook his head and said, "It's not hard work, it's all worth it."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao naturally knew that the outcome was worthwhile, but they also felt sorry for their son.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Zexuan turned his gaze to his wife and children not far away, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

Noticing the look in their son's eyes, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao said, "Go and see them quickly."

Hearing this, Zhao Zexuan did not hesitate and walked straight towards the mother and her children.

Upon seeing Zhao Zexuan, Su Li didn't hesitate and smiled, urging him to get closer to the children.

To be fair, Zhao Zexuan believes he is not a qualified father. From the birth of his child until now, he has spent far too little time with him.

Carefully and gently touching the heads of the three children, Zhao Zexuan's joy was evident.

Seeing Zhao Zexuan's loving fatherly expression, Su Li smiled and told him to take good care of the three children before getting up to instruct the maid to set the table.

The family reunion dinner went well. After the meal, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao left and returned to their courtyard, leaving only the five of them in the house.

Seeing that Zhao Zexuan's eyes were always following the three children, Su Li didn't disturb the four of them and went straight to her desk to work on her account books.

When Su Li finally looked up from among the many account books, it was already getting dark outside. Looking up, she saw Zhao Zexuan coming in from outside.

Upon seeing Zhao Zexuan, Su Li asked, "Are the children all asleep?"

Hearing Su Li's question, Zhao Zexuan nodded and said, "They're all asleep. There's a wet nurse looking after them in the next room."

With a wet nurse taking care of the three children, Su Li felt at ease. At this moment, she had other matters to discuss with Zhao Zexuan.

Looking at the ledger in her hand, Su Li beckoned to Zhao Zexuan, signaling him to take a look.

Zhao Zexuan understood Su Li's meaning, leaned closer to examine it, and after a moment said, "What is this?"

The ledger only contained numbers, without specifying the individual items, so Zhao Zexuan was unaware of their meaning.

Hearing Zhao Zexuan's question, Su Li said, "This is the current grain reserve of Lingcheng, covering all the grain produced by the grain bases."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan was momentarily surprised, then said, "This number is quite large."

This is precisely what Su Li is proud of; the results of a whole year's hard work must be known to others, especially when displayed in front of Zhao Zexuan.

Su Li's plan did not fail, which indeed shocked Zhao Zexuan. He said, "The results are remarkable. At the current rate of grain production in the grain base, the world will soon be free from famine."

The ledger records were clear and concise, so Zhao Zexuan's comments were not surprising. However, Su Li did not completely agree with Zhao Zexuan's words. Instead, she said, "Although the growth rate of grain production is fast, there is still a long way to go to achieve the goal of eliminating famine in the world. Simply establishing grain bases cannot achieve this goal."

Zhao Zexuan immediately understood the hidden meaning in her words and asked, "Does Madam have other ideas?"
