While Ji Xiaoxi was eating noodles, Shen Jiao and Sun Xuexiang came over.

Shen Jiao blinked, glanced into her bowl of noodles, and smiled, "It turns out Jingchuan can cook noodles."

Ji Xiaoxi took a sip of noodles and said with her chin raised: "Not only can you cook noodles, but you also cook them deliciously."

Lu Jingchuan stood aside, looking at his wife who was a little proud, and couldn't help but smile.

Sun Xuexiang sat at the table and wanted to speak, but Lu Jingguo grabbed her arm and said, "Go get Xiaoxi a glass of water."

Sun Xuexiang glanced at him and nodded, "Okay."

The whole family waited tacitly for Ji Xiaoxi to finish eating the noodles.

As soon as Ji Xiaoxi put down her chopsticks, Sun Xuexiang immediately took the bowl and chopsticks away for her, which scared Ji Xiaoxi.

"What's going on here?"

Shen Jiao sat next to her and said, "Everyone is waiting for you to make arrangements."

Ji Xiaoxi took a sip of water and asked slowly, "What are you planning?"

Shen Jiao tapped her face and said with a smile, "How about the money?"

Ji Xiaoxi looked around at the family members before saying, "My idea is that each family will take 500 yuan for now, and the rest of the money will be used to buy raw materials.

The several hundred dollars that my second brother and I used to buy raw materials will also be taken back from the remaining money."

Sun Xuexiang couldn't help but ask, "Each family will take 500 yuan. Mom will take 500 yuan, Jingguo and I will take 500 yuan, Jingyi and his wife will take 500 yuan, and you and Jingchuan will take 500 yuan?"

Ji Xiaoxi nodded, "Well, everyone worked hard on the 2000 kilograms of peanut candy last time."

Hearing this, Sun Xuexiang couldn't help but happily pull Lu Jingguo's arm, "Jingguo, we're going to have 500 yuan soon."

Lu Jingguo nodded calmly.

Everyone else was happy, except Du Yumei, who raised objections.

"Xiaoxi, I can't take this money. I didn't help much, so how can I give you so much money?"

She knew that these children had a hard time during this period. She could not spend much money by herself, but these children had to support the entire family.

She felt uneasy holding this money.

Ji Xiaoxi looked at Du Yumei and smiled, "Mom, why didn't you help? You even helped make several hundred kilograms of peanut candy. If that doesn't count as helping, then none of us are working, and no one will get the money."

Shen Jiao also followed suit and advised: "Yes, Mom, if you are not working, then I am just playing."

Sun Xuexiang also wisely took sides at this time, "Mom, just listen to Xiaoxi's arrangements, otherwise we won't dare to take the money."

Several brothers also advised Du Yumei, "Mom, you should take this money, please accept it."

Du Yumei's eyes were a little moist. She lowered her head and blinked. When the soreness in her eyes subsided, she raised her head and smiled, "Okay, then Mom will take it this time."

Ji Xiaoxi came over and held her arm, smiling and said, "Mom, we will definitely be able to make more money in the future, so just take it with confidence."

Du Yumei was amused by her, "Okay, Mom will wait."

Lu Jingyi took the money and divided it among everyone. Ji Xiaoxi took out a few dozen bills from the remaining ones and gave them to Lu Jingyi, "Second brother, this is the money to buy peanuts. Take it."

He raised the remaining money in his hand and said, "This money is for us to buy raw materials. Let's make some more money!"

The whole family is full of confidence and looks forward to the future.

-

Soon, it was May Day.

The malt sugar factory was closed for the day, and the wife of the factory director Jiang Mingsong insisted that he go back to her parents' home with her.

He is usually busy with work, and when he goes back to his parents' home, it is his wife Peng Lijun who brings their son back.

This time, since they finally had a holiday, Peng Lijun insisted on taking him back home. Otherwise, Jiang Mingsong had not been there, and her mother thought that he had some dissatisfaction with her family and didn't come to visit.

Jiang Mingsong was feeling a little tired. Recently his superiors wanted to close the factory, so he had to run around busy with factory affairs.

I've tried all kinds of connections and institutions, but I still haven't gotten a clear answer.

He himself knew very well that this factory was an old one, and its annual profits were getting lower and lower, and it would be closed sooner or later.

But there are hundreds of people in the factory. If it is really closed, where will these people go?

Hundreds of people are out of work, this is no joke.

No matter what, he wanted to try his best to delay the decision to close the business.

Seeing him lying motionless on the sofa, Peng Lijun reached out and pulled him, "Lao Jiang, I asked you to accompany me back to my parents' home, are you so unwilling to do so?"

Jiang Mingsong sighed, glanced at his wife and said, "I'll lie down for a while, you can pack some things to take back to your parents' home first."

Peng Lijun pointed to the bag on the coffee table and said, "I've packed everything. The peanut candy you brought back from the factory yesterday was pretty delicious. I'll take some back for my mom to try."

Jiang Mingsong was still thinking about the factory, so he asked casually, "What peanut candy? Aren't the benefits in the factory usually maltose and other things?"

Peng Lijun laughed and sat next to him and said, "Look at you, as a factory director, you don't even know what your factory distributed as welfare for May Day. This peanut candy is made of maltose, and your factory's purchasing department is quite good at buying it."

Jiang Mingsong sat up suddenly. "Peanut candy made from maltose? Bring it here and let me see it."

Peng Lijun was startled by his action and quickly took the peanut candy from the bag. "This is it. It's very beautifully made, and there are flower petals on it."

Jiang Mingsong took the peanut candy, looked at it, smelled it, and then opened his mouth and took a bite.

The peanut candy was crispy and not sticky, and the sweet taste immediately hit his taste buds.

Jiang Mingsong was stunned. He didn't expect that the peanut candy made from malt sugar could be so delicious!

"Is this really purchased from our factory? Did you buy it from somewhere else?"

Peng Lijun slapped his arm and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not like you haven't eaten the peanut candy I bought from the supply and marketing cooperative before."

Jiang Mingsong seemed to be suddenly awakened. He stood up and wanted to run outside.

Peng Lijun quickly grabbed his arm and asked, "Where are you going?"

Jiang Mingsong was anxious to pull Peng Lijun's hand away, "Wife, I have something urgent to do at the factory. I'll accompany you back to your parents' home next time."

Peng Lijun shouted unhappily, "Why are you back to the factory? It's holiday time, everyone is at home with their families, but you are busy all day and don't go home."

Jiang Mingsong was so anxious that he was confused. Today was a holiday, and even if he wanted to find someone, it would be inappropriate to disturb their holiday.

This peanut candy is not going away, so there is no need to rush on this day.

After he figured it out, he turned around and held his wife, very considerately holding the gift he was going to take to his mother-in-law's house, and smiled at his wife and said, "My wife is right, let's go, I will accompany you back today."

Peng Lijun was so happy that she called out to her son towards the door.

The youngest son ran in happily, and the family of three packed up their things and caught a bus to go to Baiyun Village.
