Chapter 35: Unsuccessful Search for Melons



Some young people who were not convinced could not stand it and asked angrily.

"We can't apply for subsidized grain, and the seeds we get are inferior. We won't approve any supplies. Also, the people in Yanjia Village had their houses demolished and their grain taken away by the higher-ups. Don't you remember?"
