Old Joe picked up the kettle and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Old Joe and his wife looked at each other, both with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
"How much is one acre if it is contracted?"

"Okay, let's discuss it as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll go back first."
After saying that, Chen Wang turned and left.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe returned to the room and started a serious discussion.
No matter which plan it is, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to them and will enable their family to increase their income this year.
