Li Shaozhong would not let anyone else stay with his wife. "Dad, I must stay with Xiao Ning. You don't need to find someone else to help Xiao Ning. And this time it's just the two of us going. I support my wife."

Ye Xingguo was very satisfied with his son-in-law's performance. "You should discuss this with Xiao Ning. It would be better if you go together."

Li Jianye glanced at Ye Xingguo and said, "Xingguo, are you also allowing them to do whatever they want?"

Ye Xingguo smiled and said, "Old leader, Xiao Ning never does anything without confidence. I believe in her. What she is going to do is not for herself, but for the country.

The Northwest must be a very difficult place. Xiao Ning gave up her comfortable life and chose to go to the harsh environment of the Northwest. We should support the children's pioneering spirit and their willingness to make sacrifices."

Li Shaoting said, "Dad, since Xiao Ning is so determined, let them give it a try. It'll only take a year anyway."

Based on Li Shaoting's understanding of Ye Shuning, he felt that Ye Shuning must have some confidence.

Li Shaoyang also supported Ye Shuning and his brother. "Dad, Shaozhong and Xiaoning definitely have their own plans. I still believe in Xiaoning's abilities. We shouldn't stop them, but should give them more support. Maybe in a year, there will be unexpected results. Xiaoning often creates miracles."

Seeing that almost everyone in the family agreed with his youngest son and daughter-in-law's idea, Li Jianye stopped objecting and said, "Then I'll give you a year. Regardless of whether there are any results, you must come back after a year."

Li Shaozhong was very happy to see his father agreed, "Dad, don't worry, we will definitely work hard."

After convincing his family, Li Shaozhong happily returned to his room. He walked slowly to the bedside and saw that his wife was sleeping soundly. He did not wake her up, but got on the bed, gently held her in his arms and fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, Ye Shuning woke up in Li Shaozhong's arms. She felt someone beside her, and then the memories of last night flooded into her mind. She was married, and yesterday was her wedding night with Li Shaozhong.

Ye Shuning's face felt a little hot, and her body ached a bit, but fortunately, her new husband was kind enough to show some care and not overdo it.

Li Shaozhong woke up as soon as Ye Shuning moved. He opened his eyes and looked at his lovely wife in his arms, feeling indescribably satisfied. "Wife, are you awake? You didn't have dinner last night. Are you hungry?"

Ye Shuning really felt a little hungry. She took out her watch and saw that it was still early, not even six o'clock, and it was not yet dawn.

"When do we get up? Don't you want me to make breakfast?"

Li Shaozhong hugged his wife and said, "There is a nanny for breakfast. Let's lie down for a while." As he said that, Li Shaozhong's hand stroked Ye Shuning's smooth back.

It's time to get up soon. No more fooling around now, or you'll never get up. What will my family think? She's not that thick-skinned.

Ye Shuning grabbed Li Shaozhong's hand and said, "Stop messing around. It's time to get up soon. Do you want people to laugh at me?"

Li Shaozhong raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, I won't make trouble. I just want to hold you for a while longer.

Yesterday I told my dad and the others about our plan, and everyone supported us."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuning lay in Li Shaozhong's arms in surprise, "Dad must have disagreed at first, right? How did you convince him?"

Li Shaozhong gently stroked his wife's back, lowered his head and smiled softly, "Dad didn't agree at first, but my father-in-law was the first to stand up and support us, and then my eldest and second brothers also supported us. I also said that we only need one year, and we will come back regardless of whether there are any results. So my dad agreed."

Ye Shuning didn't expect that Li Shaozhong had convinced the whole family. She was really surprised. She couldn't help but kiss Li Shaozhong and said, "Thank you, husband."

Li Shaozhong was very satisfied with the reward. "So what should we do next? Should we go abroad?"

Ye Shuning said, "Let's go to Nangang first. Maybe we can get the seeds I need without going abroad. With the seeds, we can go to the northwest to find a suitable place to conduct experiments. We are self-sufficient and don't need any funding from the government. All we need is a place and land for the experiments."

Li Shaozhong said, "The Northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, with vast tracts of land. It wouldn't be easy to find some land for experiments. However, it would be best to report this to the higher-ups. While we don't need government funding, some government policies could provide a lot of convenience for us."

Ye Shuning said, "You definitely know more about this than I do, so I'll leave it to you. But do you really want to join me? Don't you want to go back to the south to work?"

Li Shaozhong said, "You're the main reason I'm going to the Northwest with you. I'm worried about you. But I also hope to achieve something that will benefit the people of the Northwest. Others can do the work in the south, but I'm the most suitable person to be with you."

The conditions in the Northwest are tough, and I need you to be by my side to take care of me. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel at ease even if I went to work in the South."

Ye Shuning felt warm inside; it felt so good to be cared for. She also knew what Li Shaozhong had given up by following her to the northwest. A year from now, he might not have the same good opportunity as he did now, and his position would have been taken by someone else.

But she would not let her husband give up this opportunity for her in vain. She would make it up to him.

They are husband and wife now, and she fully realizes her position in Li Shaozhong's heart. Maybe there are some things she can tell him.

She would wait for a chance to discuss this with him. She also needed to discuss it with her father.

Ye Shuning said, "Let's go this time just the two of us, without anyone else. This way it will be more convenient."

Li Shaozhong didn't know what his wife meant by "convenient," but it wouldn't be bad for just the two of them. While the conditions would be tough, it would be like a trip for the two of them. Thinking of this, Li Shaozhong was even more excited about his trip to the northwest.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Shuning wanted to get up, but she was almost naked and she was too embarrassed to change clothes in front of her new husband.

"Honey, can you help me find two pieces of clothing in the closet?"

Li Shaozhong looked at his wife and knew what she was thinking. He smiled and got up to find clothes for her in the closet.

Under her husband's teasing gaze, Ye Shuning took the clothes and crawled into the quilt.

From outside the quilt came Li Shaozhong's low laugh, and Ye Shuning's face turned red when she heard it.

After putting on her sweater and trousers, Ye Shuning finally emerged from under the covers. Li Shaozhong had also finished dressing, and the two of them went to the bathroom to wash up.

By the time the two of them came downstairs, everyone else had gotten up, and the whole family was sitting in the dining room having breakfast.
