"This is the Yangguo? The most drought-resistant fruit?" The mayor looked at the melon-sized fruit in his hand with great curiosity.

He was the mayor and had already received the message from his superiors.

A large-scale drought is expected in 1959, so he should prepare as soon as possible.

He was really worried about this.

This drought is no small matter; if things go wrong, many people could die.

I never expected that a villager would actually bring me this Yang Fruit.

The mayor squeezed the Yang Fruit, broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth; a strange taste spread through his mouth.

However, it contains moisture.

"Oh dear, Mayor, that's not how you eat it." The village secretary couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the mayor eating the fruit directly.

"Is this not how you eat it?"

"Of course not. First, you should break open the skin of this Yang fruit before you can eat what's inside." The village secretary broke open the Yang fruit and dug out the fruit inside.

The fruit looks like cotton, but it's quite harsh on the throat when you eat it.

Having learned his lesson, the mayor only took a small bite this time.

The texture of whole grains.

"And this leather, this leather is also a good thing." The village secretary took the mayor's water glass, lightly scratched the leather, and the water inside immediately gushed out.

"this……"

This is wonderful! If we had this Yang Fruit, we wouldn't need to worry about the drought. The mayor was overjoyed.

"I wonder where this Yang Fruit came from, and what its yield is?"

"Mayor, this sun fruit has a very short growth cycle, only two months, does not require any irrigation water, and has an extremely high yield."

"Great, that's wonderful!" The mayor clapped his hands. "Comrade, you've done a great thing!"

The mayor shook hands with the village party secretary and said, “I am happy as long as I know that the people will not suffer from hunger because of this drought. I will definitely apply for a medal for you. We must let the people of the whole country know about your contributions.”

The village secretary was overjoyed. If that were true, it would be a source of great pride and honor for his ancestors.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the credit.

The village party secretary thought regretfully.

"Mayor, I am truly pleased to hear you say that. However, I was not the one who discovered this food. If a medal should be awarded, it should be given to the first person who discovered it. Besides, there are not many of these seeds."

The village party secretary recounted the events that had occurred to the mayor.

He also brought two large bags of seeds, kindly provided by Ning Hongze.

If these things can be successfully planted, we will have the confidence to deal with drought.

"Only two bags?" The mayor was somewhat disappointed to see that there were only two bags, but he quickly cheered up again.

"Two bags are fine too."

But it's alright, at least there are still two bags left. This kind of food has a high yield, so it should be able to reproduce quickly.

The mayor gave the village party secretary a sum of money and some receipts, which made the village party secretary somewhat tempted.

He shook his head and carefully put the money away.

This money should be given to Hongze.

He couldn't afford to lose Hongze's things.

"Brother, these money notes are for you. You've had a hard journey." The mayor found it amusing. This village secretary was quite interesting; he was clearly tempted, but he stubbornly kept all the money, obviously intending to give it to someone else.

"No, these things were all given to me by Hongze, so I should at least give them to Hongze as well."

"Don't worry, that person has made such a great contribution, he will definitely be rewarded."

The mayor handed another stack of banknotes to the village secretary, which was obviously thicker than the previous stack. "I have one more job opening here, which I can give to him."

The mayor handed a letter to Ning Hongze.

He can come anytime he wants, no matter when.

This can be considered a promise.

After returning to the village, the village party secretary gave the money and the letter to Ning Hongze.

Seeing that Ning Hong was about to take money from the banknotes and give it to him, he quickly waved his hand, "Don't give it to me, the mayor has already given me a whole stack of them."

Upon hearing that the mayor had given them the money, Ning Hong put away all the money notes.

Less than two days after the village party secretary returned, someone came to restore electricity.

That day, the lights in their village stayed on all night.

After the bumper harvest in Ninghongze, many families in the village planted Yangguo (a type of fruit). Now, Yangguo is also considered a grain and can be handed over to the government.

Moreover, the Yangguo fruit is harvested every two months, but they only need to pay public grain twice a year. No matter how you look at it, it's a great deal.

Because of this drought.

The female lead had prepared quite a few things in her red envelope space.

She snatched a storage ring from the fairy.

The space inside the ring wasn't large, only a dozen square meters, but it was enough for her to collect supplies to get through this severe drought.

Zhang Jing also went to the village secretary and got a few Yangguo root stems.

They also planted sunflowers in their own yard.

"Zhang Jing, what's this?"

"This was grown in Ninghongze, and I've heard it's extremely drought-resistant."

"Really?" So what if they're drought-resistant? After three years of severe drought, these plants will die sooner or later.

“Yes, Ning Hong said that this kind of food does not need to be watered. It can survive on its own as long as it is exposed to the sun.”

Zhang Jing laughed and said, "It really is a strange food."

There's such a thing.

No, did such a thing exist in my past life?

It seems not.

Many people starved to death at that time.

Ning Hong also died in this severe drought.

If he had this kind of food, why didn't he bring it out sooner? Or perhaps—he was also reborn?

Just like she has a red envelope group, does he also have a bit of a cheat code?

Thinking about this, Cui Xiao became restless.

If that's really the case, why would God bring her back?

Ning Hong then discovered that he had suddenly encountered some difficulties.

After it was revealed that he had a job, many people came to him asking for it, and some even wanted to trade their daughters for him.

They thought that once Ning Hong became their son-in-law, the job position would belong to their family.

As for Ning Hong going to work on her own?

Don't be ridiculous. Ning Hongze is someone who hasn't even finished elementary school. What could she possibly do there?

"This mayor has certainly given me a difficult problem."

He really wasn't going to take that job, not because he hadn't received an education.

However, with a severe drought approaching, staying in the city was not a safe thing, and most importantly, he didn't want to be too far away from his sister.

“Ning Hongze.” Cui Xiao walked up to Ning Hongze with an arrogant expression.

"Who are you?"

Ning Hong did it on purpose. He naturally knew who Cui Xiao was, but he couldn't stand Cui Xiao's matter-of-fact attitude.

What? Does Cui Xiao think she did Xiao Yu a favor, that she's putting on this act?

"I am Cui Xiao."

"oh."

Ning Hong then said "Oh," and asked, "What do you need me for?"

"Here's what we'll do: you give me this job, and I'll give you some money."
