1970s Gangster Couple

The middle-aged man with a worried expression between his eyebrows is the leading secretary, surnamed Qin.

After inspecting the disaster situation all the way down from the provincial level, he found it even more severe than he had imagined. Especially in Yulin City, due to severe water shortage, crops in many counties were struggling, and some had even withered in the fields.

He was not in the mood for pleasantries with the officials below him, waving his hand dismissively, "Go to the meeting room."

The county head wore a flattering smile, "Secretary Qin, considering the hardships of your journey, we should prioritize your well-being. I have already ordered a meal at the state-owned hotel. Let's have a meal first, and after you've rested, you can lead us more effectively in our work."

Secretary Qin felt anxious inside; he was not pleased with the officials in Chengkou County trying to flatter him. However, after inspecting several places in a row, the group was indeed hungry. "Let's have a meal first, but we don't need to go to the state-owned hotel. Just eat something casual."

The county head was momentarily surprised but quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away. Secretary Qin, you are truly frugal. We grassroots officials will learn from you..."

Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei were unaware that this disaster had affected several provinces, and significant figures had come specifically to the county.

For Xiao Xiao, a provincial party secretary was not something she cared much about. As for Wang Wei... he cared even less; he hadn't seen these big shots when he was hungry.

This was already the fourth consecutive day of their experiment.

Wang Wei didn't know what method Xiao Xiao would come up with, but he blindly trusted her. Whatever Xiao Xiao asked him to do, he did without hesitation.

Xiao Xiao asked him to find densely growing vine-like plants all over the mountain, and he found hundreds of varieties.

Seeing Xiao Xiao categorizing them one by one and then performing meticulous grafting and recording, Wang Wei noticed that whenever Xiao Xiao started doing these things, her attention became highly concentrated. For four days straight, except for a few hours of forced rest at night, her gaze never left those interwoven vines, not even during meals.

Finally, on the morning of the fifth day, Xiao Xiao's eyes sparkled with bright light, a smile of satisfaction on her face. She calmly said, "It worked."

Wang Wei looked at the experimental field marked 421 in front of her.

The term "experimental field" was suggested by Xiao Xiao.

This experiment still took place on the flat ground in front of the cave.

The weather was exceptionally abnormal, and the crops in the fields were struggling to survive. The villagers, tired of hunger, had already begun preparing for the future, and in recent days, more people were going up the mountain to dig wild plants and vegetables.

Wang Wei was worried that someone might discover the situation in the cave, so he had gradually moved the food to their new home during the night. All the animals in captivity had found their way into Strong's mouth.

The stored food would be enough for him and Xiao Xiao for a long time. He planned to expand the courtyard and raise the walls a bit higher. In the future, they could grow whatever they needed in their own yard.

Although it was referred to as an experimental field, it was actually a small square area marked out by bamboo sticks at Xiao Xiao's request. Each small plot of land had different grafted vine-like plants carefully classified and planted by Xiao Xiao.
