During dinner, Qin Muzhou told Qin Feng what Deputy Secretary Liu had said.
Qin Feng said, "I was sitting in front of so many people in the car and couldn't speak."
Qin Muzhou said, "It doesn't matter, Dad. Just tell us why we decided to take over Daqingshan and Xiaoqingshan in the first place, how we did it, and what we have gained so far from Daqingshan and Xiaoqingshan. That's all."
Xiao Si, the flatterer, came on stage and said, "Daddy, you are the best. You can do it. The servants in the Marquis' Mansion are so mighty. I'm just saying something. You can do it! Come on! Daddy." After saying that, he raised his right fist and made a cheering gesture.
Qin Feng scratched the back of his head. "Oh, I always feel like there are too many people and I can't speak."
Li Shuwan glared at Qin Feng. "What's there to be ashamed of? On the battlefield, facing a powerful enemy, you remained calm. What are you afraid of with such a small group of people? Speak boldly and explain why our family took over Daqingshan and Xiaoqingshan. Of course, it's to transform the soil of these two mountains for the benefit of the people. Then, tell us what we have harvested so far. We have harvested potatoes, sweet potatoes, and we have raised free-range chickens that can now lay eggs. Just talk about these and the efforts we have made. It's not easy for our family to get up early and work late. We must let everyone know how difficult it is to harvest these crops."
When Ke'er heard this, she was impressed by her mother's ability to speak so coherently. She slammed the table and said, "Daddy, you should just say it like me. I say it so well. Otherwise, I'll stand on the stage and say it tomorrow."
Li Shulan immediately shrank her neck and shook her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I can't do that. It's okay to talk about it at home, but let your father go."
Qin Feng laughed heartily and slammed his hand on the table. "Okay, tomorrow I'll do as your mother said."
Turning to Qin Muzhou, he said, "What about you? Are you all ready?"
Qin Muzhou said, "I've already told Deputy Secretary Liu about this. I'll just follow the observation log for windbreak, sand fixation, and grass cultivation, explaining the precautions clearly. I specifically recommended planting bitter beans. They should plant them first, then move on to other things. I've found bitter beans are perfectly suited to our soil conditions, and the seeds are also a kind of green manure, achieving three goals at once."
The family discussed it, and the next morning, Li Shuwan dressed up the father and son nicely. She then took Ke'er, Xiaosi and Qin Muxiao to the commune to attend an on-site report on windbreak, sand fixation and grass cultivation.
