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

Three days before the Chinese New Year, Xinghua came back and brought her boyfriend back.

The young man is well-mannered and is also a college student, working in Jiangxi Province.

Their family conditions were also good. Their father was the director of the provincial water conservancy bureau, and their mother was an employee of the hydropower plant. Their family conditions were far better than Wang Xinghua's.

Aunt Wang learned that her son-in-law was so well-off, well-educated, and good-looking.

When I went to Zhang Xiuhua's house to buy tofu, I couldn't stop smiling. "The young man is also very polite. It's the first time we met, and it's not a marriage proposal, but he brought a lot of gifts."

"How many children are there in their family?"

"There is only one. In the past, all the big cities implemented family planning. Especially the leaders had to set an example." Aunt Wang was very satisfied with her son-in-law. If there was anything she was not satisfied with, it was that he was too far away from home.

If Xinghua really marries there in the future, we might not be able to see each other for several years.

Fortunately, Aunt Wang was kind-hearted and didn't want to delay her daughter's happiness. "If I reject this marriage, how can I find such good conditions for Xinghua?"

This is the truth, and Zhang Xiuhua can understand it. "As long as they live well, that's enough. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

Aunt Wang nodded, "Yes!"

She secretly told Zhang Xiuhua that Xinghua had paid her a total of 1,200 yuan after she started working. Her company was good, and the benefits were good. She received a housing subsidy, and she ate in the cafeteria. She had no other expenses, so she saved all her money.

Zhang Xiuhua only knew that Aunt Wang liked gossip, but she didn't expect that she kept her family affairs so secret. She had never revealed this before.

After buying the tofu, Aunt Wang went home with a smile on her face.

So that day their family could smell the fragrance coming from next door.

In a blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year was over and Aunt Wang and her family sent their daughter and future son-in-law away.

Aunt Wang came over and whispered to Zhang Xiuhua, "My daughter said that after the May Day holiday, her family will come to propose marriage. After the engagement, we have to get married on November 1st. By then, we have to prepare the dowry. You are from Jiang Province, you should know what dowry is required in Jiang Province, right?"

Zhang Xiuhua explained the situation of the daughters of wealthy families in Jiang Province in detail. "Jiang Province is actually very similar to the Northeast. Men and women are relatively equal. The bride's dowry is the same as the bride price. If the family loves their daughters, they will double it."

Girls from poor families naturally didn't have this kind of treatment. For example, when she got married, her father didn't give her any dowry.

Aunt Wang didn't want her daughter to be looked down upon by her husband's family. Especially since Xinghua had been filial since she was young. She thought about preparing something. But everything cost money. There wasn't much money at home.

So she wanted Uncle Wang to go to the south to work with her.

When Li Jiandang learned of her idea, he was shocked, "He is so old, who would want him?"

Uncle Wang is already fifty years old this year. People at this age look old, and life expectancy is not very high. Fifty years old is already considered an old man. There are so many factories in Pengcheng recruiting workers, and many people are scrambling to apply. Who would be willing to hire such an old person?

Aunt Wang had no choice but to give up. But she was an invincible cockroach. Since working in other places was not feasible, she decided to return to her own village.

A chicken farm was built in the village, and she wanted a quota to raise chickens. The reason was simple: she had helped Zhang Xiuhua clean up the chicken farm. No one knew how to raise chickens better than her.

This time, she was chosen because her family had the lightest burden, with only her and Uncle Wang at home. With fewer people, there would be less spread of germs.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jiandang, Hong Bing, the brigade accountant's son, and several strong young men in the village all went south to work together.

Not long after they left, Ergou and his father returned to the county town to do business.

There were suddenly so many fewer people in the village, making it a lot quieter than usual.

Fortunately, after the spring, the children went to school and the two chicken farms started operating.

Zhang Xiuhua is hatching chicks. This time she is raising laying hens. Laying hens lay eggs in about 114 days. They start hatching chicks in mid-March and start laying eggs in early September. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold, so they lay eggs quickly.

Broiler chickens hatch chicks even earlier, starting almost after the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Xiuhua is very busy every day. Although the broiler chickens will not be marketed so quickly, she still has to feed them every day and also ask the members to clean up the chicken manure.

The chicken farm jointly built by Lijiatun and other villages has a good production of broiler chickens. In order to make more money, they strictly follow the chicken-raising method provided to them by Zhang Xiuhua.

The factory was very strict, and the chicken farmers were not allowed to take anything out. Because the three villages had sent people to guard the chickens, nothing went wrong.

That morning, Li Jianxin came back from selling tofu.

Since Li Jiandang went to work in the south, Li Jianxin continued to help Zhang Xiuhua sell tofu. He always sold out the tofu in several nearby villages. If he couldn't sell out, he would go to the commune to sell it.

He brought back a piece of news today, "When I left Zhoujia Village, I heard that the village leader had gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell chickens."

Zhang Xiuhua was a little surprised. "It's only April, the chickens haven't grown up yet. He left so early?"

"Yes! Prepare in advance, in case you can't sell it later." Li Jianxin curled his lips in disdain, "The team leader of our village is not capable of doing things."

Li Jianxin was very dissatisfied with the captain's deduction of his sales fee, and deliberately wanted to see the captain's fun.

However, Zhang Xiuhua could not pretend not to know, so she ran to remind the team leader and asked them to find someone quickly, so that the supply and marketing cooperative would not decide on Zhoujia Village instead of Lijiatun.

When the team leader learned about this, he immediately began recruiting salesmen to sell chickens.

Fortunately, they had sold broiler chickens last year and they were really good, so the supply and marketing cooperatives were still happy to continue cooperating with them. However, Zhoujia Village had a positive attitude and gave a lot of gifts, so several supply and marketing cooperatives were eventually robbed.

April came in a blink of an eye, the broiler chickens had grown up and it was time to ship them.

The team leader organizes members to sell products every day.

In order to sell all 666 chickens in half a month, they had to sell at least chickens a day. But in fact, they could only sell chickens, leaving more than chickens unsold.

So some salesmen started going to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the south of the county. They sold more than a hundred, but it was still not enough.

To make matters worse, at this time, several supply and marketing cooperatives in the county were taken over by other production teams.

In order to sell the chickens of their production team, they gave a lot of gifts to the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. Who doesn't love money? They are obviously the same chickens, why doesn't he take more benefits!

The team leader was so anxious that he ran to Zhang Xiuhua's house to ask her for advice.

Zhang Xiuhua never dealt with sales. She knew that her specialty was raising chickens, so she asked the team leader to find Li Jianxin, “Maybe he can come up with a solution.”

The team leader hesitated, "But his sales fee is too high. Even if I can swallow my pride, the other two team leaders will not agree."

Zhang Xiuhua could do nothing to help him and had to remind him, "Sell the chickens quickly, or it will affect the next pen. If you raise them too late, a large number of them may die in the heat in July."
