Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua managed to get a Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative. In order to make money, Li Jianxin, who was also a capable man, was the first to go to the county town.

He was not afraid of the long distance to the county town, so he took the bus. As for how he would deliver the goods to the city, he had also thought about it. He went to all the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county town, transporting hundreds of chickens at a time, and Zhang Xiuhua gave him a commission of 1 cent for each chicken. He could make a net profit of 10 yuan a day. That was 300 yuan a month. It was higher than the salary of an eighth-level fitter in Shanghai.

He went to Shanghai and became more and more eloquent. The director of the supply and marketing cooperative even looked at him with a higher regard because he had a Shanghai hukou.

He left Lijiatun at eight o'clock in the morning and returned home at eight o'clock in the evening when it was dark.

He originally wanted to tell Zhang Xiuhua the good news, but considering it was too dark, it would be inappropriate for an uncle like him to knock on his brother's and sister's door, so he held back.

The next morning, just after daybreak, he fed his two children and went to Zhang Xiuhua's home, holding one in each hand.

Zhang Xiuhua was cleaning the chicken farm. He let his two children play at the gate of the yard while he stood at the gate and talked to Zhang Xiuhua.

"Xiuhua, I've sold them. Each family wants 20, and I can carry 200 at a time. Please help me figure out how to get them to the county town."

The captain had a donkey at home, and he could shamelessly borrow it every day, but the cart behind the donkey couldn't pull 200 chickens, right? The weather was getting hotter, what if the chickens were suffocated to death!

Zhang Xiuhua has thought about this problem. "I have custom-made a four-story wooden rack. I will put the chickens in a net bag and spray water on their feathers to cool them down. I will also cover them with cloth so that they will think it is night and will not crow."

Li Jianxin suddenly realized, "Okay then. I'll do as you say."

"The county town is quite far away, so you have to come here at five in the morning to load the truck."

Li Jianxin had a bitter face. Five o'clock? It's not easy to make money. He nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

If 50 chickens are delivered a day, they can be sold for about days. But Zhang Xiuhua couldn't keep the chickens for so many days and feed them so much. So she asked Li Jianxin to sell to a few more stores, "It's too unsafe for you to deliver the goods alone. I think you should find another one."

Li Jianxin felt a little embarrassed. It was agreed that he would get a commission of 1 cent per piece if he helped with sales and delivery. Now he was only doing half of the work, how much would the commission be?

"Take out two dollars from your commission. What do you think?" Zhang Xiuhua thought about it.

After all, it was hard work to get people up early to deliver them to the county town. Naturally, we couldn't calculate it based on the previous 50 cents.

Li Jianxin thought about it carefully. After deducting the two dollars, he still had 18 dollars. He agreed decisively, "Okay! I'll do as you say."

Zhang Xiuhua did not look for Li Jiandang this time because he wanted to help her sell tofu. She did not plan to make vermicelli now, but she still had to make tofu because she needed bean dregs to feed chickens.

She went straight to Hong Bing. After all, she wanted to borrow his donkey cart, and if she gave him some benefits, the captain would definitely be happy.

When the captain learned that there was two yuan in bribes, he agreed without asking his son.

So Hong Bing went to Zhang Xiuhua's house at five o'clock every morning to pick up goods.

Li Jianxin got up early and helped Zhang Xiuhua catch the chickens. Then he counted them, put them in his pocket, and sprayed water on the chickens.

Two hundred chickens at a time is the limit of the donkey cart. It can't carry more. So the Red Army has to deliver the goods in two batches.

That’s right, after Li Jianxin’s hard work over the past few days, he sold another 200 chickens.

The two had to set off before dawn. To be honest, they were both a little scared about transporting so many chickens at once.

"Will we run into bandits?" Hong Bing recalled the robbery of Youcai and was still frightened. There were two hundred chickens in the back, which was not a small number.

Li Jianxin told him to stop talking nonsense and said, "If there are bandits on the road, just ride your donkey and run away as fast as you can."

Hong Bing thought that he must not have read the newspaper. "The bandits in the newspaper would put stones on the road. If my tire is punctured, how can I run away!"

The more they talked, the more scared they became. Just then, a figure appeared in front of them. They were so scared that they dared not breathe and huddled together for warmth. Although it was very hot, they had the courage to stay close to each other.

"It's so dark and they're still traveling at night. They must be bandits!" Li Jianxin tugged at Hong Bing's sleeve, "Why don't we turn around and go back. And set out again at daybreak?!"

The Red Soldier hesitated.

But while he was hesitating, the other party had already arrived in front of him. Li Jianxin pointed the flashlight at the other party's face. Before the other party could scold him, he laughed instead, "Ah! Jianguo, why are you back?"

Li Jianguo usually came back at noon or in the afternoon, so why did he come back early this time? Because he calculated the date and it was time to sell the chickens.

With so many chickens to sell, someone had to deliver them. The public security was bad now, so he was worried. So he came back in the dark.

With Li Jianguo present, Li Jianxin and Hong Bing could both breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Jianxin finished recounting his glorious deeds and admired his own wisdom and bravery. "I heard my sister-in-law calculate that if we can sell 400 chickens every day, we can sell all of them in 25 days."

Of course it couldn't take 25 days, because nearly three hundred of them died during the breeding process.

Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

At daybreak, Zhang Xiuhua caught twenty chickens, put ten chickens into each urea bag, put them on the back of her bicycle, and then rode to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After delivering the chickens, she went to find Tiesuo and told him that she was not going to sell vermicelli but chickens instead.

Tiesuo's eyes lit up, "Ten chickens? That's a good thing."

Chicken is easier to sell than vermicelli. Vermicelli has competitors, but chicken does not.

Because the supply and marketing cooperative only settled accounts in cash, Zhang Xiuhua received the return payment on the first day. She calculated the account and recorded it in a notebook.

Li Jianguo had already taken a shower and told him about today's delivery.

The first time I delivered goods, I arrived at the county town at seven o'clock. The supply and marketing cooperative had just opened and there were not many people there.

When they delivered the goods for the second time, they specially passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and saw citizens queuing up to buy chickens. It was so lively.

He also had chicken for lunch today. The meat was indeed very tender, and most importantly, there was a lot of meat. "I think we might increase the quantity tomorrow. You can sell them all in less than 25 days. When do you plan to raise the second cage of chicks?"

White-feathered broilers cannot withstand not only cold but also heat, especially grown chickens, which can only withstand 20-21 degrees Celsius.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "I am already hatching chicks now."

"Ah? So fast! Shouldn't we disinfect and sterilize it?"

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Don't worry, I will take out the empty cages and clean them starting tomorrow. I can't handle it alone, so I will ask Aunt Wang and my eldest sister-in-law to come and help. I will give them some money for their hard work."

Li Jianguo was relieved to see that she had made all the plans, "Okay. I'll do as you say."
