Suddenly embraced by him, Jiang Qinyu's body stiffened abruptly. The moment she looked up, she saw Lu Yanzheng reflected in the bronze mirror.

At this moment, his head was lowered and his eyes were also down, so his expression could not be seen. However, Jiang Qinyu could tell from the heartbeat coming from the chest behind her that he was very nervous.

"I..." Jiang Qinyu had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Uncle Chen's voice from outside the door.

"General, Madam, someone is looking for you outside the manor. They say they are from Dingshui Village and want to see you both."

Jiang Qinyu was taken aback. "From Dingshui Village?" She turned to look at Lu Yanzheng. "Who could it be?"

This unexpected incident interrupted the somewhat tense and romantic atmosphere between the two, and Lu Yanzheng took the opportunity to release Jiang Qinyu.

"Go out and see for yourself." His voice was indifferent. He gave Jiang Qinyu a deep look before stepping out the door.

Jiang Qinyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

After they left, Uncle Chen had already led the people to the main hall.

"Uncle Village Chief, Brother Meng?" Jiang Qinyu immediately perked up when she saw the visitors, lifting her skirt and running into the main hall. "Why are you here?"

Village Chief Li smiled as he looked at her, then at Lu Yanzheng who had followed him in. He greeted the two of them, "Ah Zheng, niece, you didn't expect us to come, did you?"

Lu Yanzheng smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that, but welcome Uncle Village Chief and Brother Meng to visit the border town."

"Hey, we're not here as guests," Meng Tianze waved his hand. "We're here to bring you things, I guarantee you'll like them!"

Jiang Qinyu's curiosity was piqued by these words. "I wonder what Uncle Village Chief and Brother Meng will bring us?"

"My dear niece, you don't know yet, do you? Our village's winter wheat has been harvested!" Village Chief Li smiled even more broadly.

Jiang Qinyu asked in surprise, "I was guessing it would be a few more days before we could collect them?"

This is one of the reasons why she told Lu Yanzheng that she was going back – she was counting down the time to harvest the wheat.

"Hehe, sister-in-law, you don't know, our village seems to have become a blessed land. The seeds you gave us last year not only grew exceptionally well this year, but also ripened early. The winter wheat was ready to be harvested a few days ago, and the village chief led us to harvest it together."

In Dingshui Village, more winter wheat was planted than sweet potatoes. Because Jiang Qinyu was unsure about the system's winter wheat yield, she gave each household a little more.

"I wonder how the winter wheat yield is?" Lu Yanzheng asked immediately upon hearing this.

If we consider the usual wheat yield of Dai Viet, it would not exceed 400 catties at most.

Village Chief Li kept everyone in suspense, saying, "Ah Zheng, guess! If you guess right, I'll give you these wheat seeds."

Lu Yanzheng raised an eyebrow. "I suppose the yield of this winter wheat must be quite high, six hundred catties?"

Since the village chief said that, and he looked so happy, the yield must be higher than normal.

"Ah Zheng, take a bold guess!" Meng Tianze patted his shoulder, his smile brighter than the sun outside.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yanzheng's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Could it be that the yield of this winter wheat exceeded one thousand catties?"

"Hahaha... As expected of A-Zheng, your guess was quite accurate." Village Chief Li laughed heartily.

Jiang Qinyu had a rough idea of ​​the figures, but she was still very curious about the output in Dingshui Village. "Uncle Village Chief, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly!"

“My dear niece, I really want to thank you on behalf of the whole village! If it weren’t for you buying these winter wheat seeds, we wouldn’t have had such a great harvest.” Village Chief Li solemnly bowed to Jiang Qinyu in gratitude.

Jiang Qinyu quickly waved her hand, "Everyone bought it from me with money. I didn't do any work on the land preparation or anything. Uncle Village Chief, you don't need to do that."

"Sister-in-law, please accept this gift! If you hadn't brought out those seeds, how could our village have grown wheat with a yield of over 1,200 jin per mu?" Meng Tianze said, rubbing his hands excitedly.

"1200 jin?" Lu Yanzheng looked at Village Chief Li and Meng Tianze in shock. "Really that many?"

One thousand jin was the highest yield he could think of, but Meng Tianze actually said that the winter wheat yield in Dingshui Village was one thousand two hundred jin per mu!

Meng Tianze laughed and said, "There really is that much, and that's the average yield across all of us. The highest yield is from your family's land, which yields 1,500 catties per mu..."

Jiang Qinyu gasped upon hearing this. There were so many? It was almost the same as the data obtained from modern precision operations.

Lu Yanzheng also found it unbelievable. Considering that the two had come to deliver something, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Village Chief and Brother Meng came to deliver seeds?"

"Hehe, you guessed it right away." Meng Tianze nodded and laughed. "We did come to deliver seeds, and we also brought you several thousand catties of wheat so you can have a taste."

Now that their village has harvested tens of thousands of kilograms of wheat, they sent over half of what Jiang Qinyu's family harvested, and with each family contributing a little more, they managed to gather several thousand kilograms.

The border town was in dire need of food. Although a few thousand kilograms of grain could not solve the fundamental problem, it could provide some relief for a few days.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Village Chief, Brother Meng, and the villagers of Dingshui Village. It's already a blessing for the people of Biancheng that you thought of us. We are truly grateful for your personal visit." Lu Yanzheng said, cupping his hands in thanks.

He was genuinely grateful. They wouldn't eat the grain; they would use it all for planting to get the best results.

Jiang Qinyu said, "The people of the border town have suffered too much. Before, they could only plant sweet potatoes on a few hundred acres of land, leaving large tracts of land empty. Now that we have this batch of wheat, coupled with the current unusual weather, it is the perfect time to plant."

Although they had missed the spring planting season, they could still plant the seeds immediately due to the weather and take good care of them, ensuring they could catch the autumn harvest.

With sweet potatoes and wheat, the food shortage in the border town will be greatly alleviated after the autumn harvest. If there is no war, they can eat sweet potatoes and winter wheat until February or March of next year.

"No need for your thanks. We're just doing this for you, oh right, we're just using your niece's help," Village Chief Li chuckled. "Besides, we made this trip because your parents asked us to. They said that since our niece is here, she shouldn't rush back. They'll take care of things at home!"

“Yes, yes, sister-in-law, don’t rush back. Your family’s fields will be taken care of by me, the village chief’s family, and your father. Don’t worry about home.” Meng Tianze said, winking at Lu Yanzheng.

Lu Yanzheng understood and smiled as he looked at Jiang Qinyu.

However, Jiang Qinyu didn't detect anything wrong at all, and just said helplessly, "There are many things to do at home, and we can't keep asking you for help."

It would have been fine if she had stayed here before, but now... she can't just hide from Lu Yanzheng and leave.
