Lu Jianguo naturally understood what his son meant, and it wasn't that he really wanted to ask; he was just shocked earlier.
He said, "Okay, okay, we can talk about it later. Do you plan to give this to the base?"
Gu Pan nodded, "Yeah, this one is still best for the base to raise. We can't raise it well ourselves, and it would be a waste."
Lu Jianguo really appreciated his daughter-in-law; she wasn't arrogant or proud, she was talented but very humble.
He said, "Then, if this tree bears fruit later, you'll both get a share."
The onlookers heard, but no one could object. After all, it was their property, and they could choose not to give it to the base, so however it was distributed seemed reasonable—they couldn't do it anyway, they could only watch.
Lu Jianguo felt the onlookers had seen enough, and said to the outside, "Are you all not working?"
The crowd scattered with a laugh.
Lu Jianguo closed the door, then asked the two to sit down and talk.
