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

Zhang Xiuhua, who was being thought of by Jidong, was in a good mood at this time.

Xu Chunying came back from the county town, and brought back good news. "I found my former vegetable-selling friends, and two of them ordered 1,000 eggs from me. I collected 3,000 eggs. Do you have enough?"

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "It will definitely be enough tomorrow. But I'm not sure about the day after tomorrow."

The two supply and marketing cooperatives are 2,000 yuan. This is a signed contract. Jianxin negotiated the cooperation and it cannot be changed. Dasao wants 3,000 yuan, plus Juemei's 200 yuan. The total is 5,200 yuan.

Xu Chunying thought for a moment and said, "If it's not enough, then wait a little longer. Give me the rest."

"Okay," Zhang Xiuhua agreed immediately. "By the way, how much is the shipping fee to the county town?"

"Five dollars round trip." Xu Chunying gave her a thumbs up, "Your calculation is really accurate."

She added, "Just deliver the eggs directly to the county town, and I can bring some vegetables to the county town on the way. After selling them, I'll take the bus back. I'll have more time."

Zhang Xiuhua smiled at her, "You're right. We can do this!"

Soon, Zhang Xiuhua's chicken farm laid more and more eggs. September is the peak egg-laying season. By the end of the month, all 10,000 laying hens were laying eggs, with more than 6,000 eggs laid every day.

Zhang Xiuhua records the number of eggs laid every day.

That day, she came out of the chicken farm and was about to lock the door when Aunt Wang came over with a gift list and asked her to help look at it.

"You are also from Jiang Province. Please help me see if this dowry is decent enough."

Zhang Xiuhua took it and looked at her in surprise, "Getting married so soon?"

"No. We're engaged. We plan to get married next year. I have to prepare the dowry in advance." Aunt Wang asked her to take a look at the dowry list first.

Zhang Xiuhua read it quickly and thought it was pretty good. "It is indeed feasible to prepare a dowry of double the amount."

Aunt Wang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her nod. "You can buy other things in Jiang Province. It's too troublesome to ship them from the Northeast. But there are two things that I have to prepare myself."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "What is it?"

"Quilt." Aunt Wang looked at Zhang Xiuhua expectantly, "Do you know where I can find a quilt?"

Zhang Xiuhua hadn't bought quilts for her members for a long time. Hearing this, she laughed, "Jiang Province produces cotton. If you buy it here, the cost will be much higher."

She also told Aunt Wang Er, "Now there are stalls in many places where you can buy things without a ticket. It's not necessary."

In fact, it’s not Aunt Wang’s fault. The bravest thing she has ever done in her life is to go to the university to support her daughter, help her daughter get back on her feet, and go back to university.

I have been staying in the village for the past few years, and only go to the commune to buy salt occasionally. I am out of touch with the outside world. It is normal that I don’t know these things.

Aunt Wang was relieved when she heard this. "That's good."

She smiled and said, "After they give the betrothal gift, I will ask Xinghua to buy cotton in Jiang Province and have it made to order."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Sure."

A month later, Li Jianguo came back and brought back the racing car model that Hongwen had been looking forward to.

He took the model to his eldest brother's house, talked with his biological mother for a while, and then went back home to eat.

Zhang Xiuhua saw that he had lost his usual calmness, "What's wrong with you? You have a stern face. Did something unhappy happen to you?"

Li Jianguo pursed his lips and asked, "Sister-in-law is still selling eggs?"

"Yes! She brought eggs from the brigade into the city and sold vegetables on the way." Zhang Xiuhua answered casually, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that she's selling vegetables?"

"She makes money, how can I not be happy!" Li Jianguo said in a stern tone, "When I first went there, I saw my mother rolling noodles. They said Hongwen and Hongxia would be back soon. My mother has always been in poor health. My eldest sister-in-law is away from home all day to make money, and she also asked my mother to take care of the two children. Is she abandoning the family?"

Zhang Xiuhua finally understood, "You also know that the eldest sister-in-law never lets the three children work. If your mother doesn't work, Hongwen and Hongxia will go hungry."

"That's because she doesn't know how to teach children. She only knows how to study all day long and has ruined the child." Li Jianguo felt bad.

Zhang Xiuhua did not express any opinion. She did not want to live with her mother-in-law, so she pretended not to know.

Li Jianguo was just venting his dissatisfaction in front of her. The next day, when Xu Chunying came to get the eggs, he asked his sister-in-law, "Mom is not in good health. She insisted on making noodles for the two children yesterday. Is her arm okay?"

Xu Chunying shook her head, "It's okay!" She probably guessed what her brother-in-law meant, "Hongxia only comes home once every two weeks. Hongwen is not picky about food and eats everything. Mother-in-law rarely rolls noodles, she always cooks."

Li Jianguo suppressed his anger and said, "You should teach the two children how to cook."

"Hongxia will take the college entrance exam in a year, so how can we delay her studies? Hongwen is a boy, why should he learn these things!" Xu Chunying looked at him and her tone began to become unfriendly, "Did you cook for yourself when you were a child?"

Li Jianguo was choked and had nothing to say.

Xu Chunying had to go sell vegetables, so she didn't have much time. She loaded all the eggs onto the truck, climbed onto the tractor, and signaled the driver to set off.

After Zhang Xiuhua came out of the chicken farm after picking up eggs, she saw Li Jianguo sitting under a fruit tree, looking like he was worried about something.

Zhang Xiuhua recorded the number of eggs and prepared to go back to the house with the notebook. Li Jianguo suddenly stopped her and said, "Oh, by the way! I forgot to tell you yesterday when I came back. My comrade-in-arms helped me find out the price of the pheasant. He said that the foreign purchase price is 10 yuan per pheasant."

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned. 10 yuan? Local chickens sell for between two and three yuan. The price of pheasants has tripled or quadrupled. This is indeed promising. But can the road expenses from the north to the south make up for the price difference? !

She was still thinking, but Li Jianguo had already given her the answer, "No! The railway does not transport poultry."

Well, hope is dashed! Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "Forget it!"

Li Jianguo believes that the south is more suitable for raising pheasants, especially the rural areas in the south where there are many mountains and little land.

"What do you think is suitable to raise in the Northeast? Something with high value that doesn't need to migrate thousands of miles like pheasants?" Zhang Xiuhua looked at him eagerly.

Li Jianguo thought for a long time and immediately thought of three animals, "Mink? Fox? Raccoon?"

Zhang Xiuhua clapped her hands, with admiration in her eyes, "Yes! Why didn't I think of mink? Mink coats are in great demand. When people have money in the future, there will be a big market for this stuff."

The best part is that mink, fox and raccoon hair can be used in clothing and are in great demand. They can be transported by rail, unlike pheasants which can't even be transported by rail!

Li Jianguo felt that this creature was not easy to raise. "I will ask Li Xingjia to buy you some books on this subject. You can study it first."

"Get two of them here first and let me raise them. It will be easier for me to gain experience by learning while raising them." Zhang Xiuhua asked him where she could buy them.

There is no chance if it is wild, this thing seems to be a protected animal.

Li Jianguo did know. "There is a place in Jilin that specializes in raising minks. I have a colleague from Jilin. I will ask him to buy two. Raccoon dogs are also easy to find. I heard a colleague say he raised one before. As for foxes, I don't know."

"Please help me find out later." Zhang Xiuhua rubbed her hands. Pheasants cannot be raised, but these animals have great prospects.
