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

Li Jianguo listened to them talking about selling vegetables and felt that there was no rush. "It may not be long before the higher authorities relax the rules."

Zhang Xiuhua and Xu Chunying looked at him at the same time.

"I went to the capital to see Jidong and Youcai, and Youcai has already started to resume his old business." The first stop of the crackdown was the capital. Now that the capital has been relaxed, the cities below will definitely loosen up one by one.

Now that the South is in the process of reform and opening up, the scope of criminalization for speculation and profiteering is very vague in various places. Some places are very strict, including farmers selling vegetables, while some places are very lenient, turning a blind eye to farmers selling vegetables. More are cracking down on smuggling, counterfeiting various tickets, reselling goods, etc.

Xu Chunying was timid after all. "Forget it. I'm afraid of going to jail."

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo stopped trying to persuade her.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiuhua saw in the latest newspaper that another group of people were arrested for speculation and sentenced. She was a little worried about Youcai, so she called the capital and was relieved to learn that the supervision there was not strict.

Originally, the village chief's daughter-in-law wanted to take over Xu Chunying's job and continue selling goods, but because of this incident, she didn't dare to do so anymore.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-April and the village chief came to her to discuss selling broiler chickens.

This year, two chicken farms started raising laying hens. They started raising laying hens last year, competing with the laying hens in Lijiatun. This year, three more chicken farms appeared, one raising laying hens and two raising broiler chickens. Together with the broiler chickens in Zhoujia Village and their village, there are four in total.

Since the crackdown began last year, all small traders have disappeared and they can only sell their chickens and eggs to supply and marketing cooperatives.

The village chief wanted Zhang Xiuhua to help find a way to sell the broiler chickens to the current supply and marketing cooperative.

The village chief was worried that broiler chickens would be hard to sell again, just like the year before. After all, there were four broiler chickens this time, just like last time.

Zhang Xiuhua told him not to worry, "We have been supplying them with eggs since the year before last. We are considered an old customer. Our eggs and chickens are very stable. Nothing has ever happened. If we change people hastily, they are afraid that something might go wrong."

Seeing that she was full of confidence, the village chief directly gave her the management power and asked her to find a salesperson.

Zhang Xiuhua agreed and immediately found Li Jianxin and asked him to talk to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Li Jianxin is still at home taking care of the children. He is also a peculiar person. When he was in the production team before, he didn't like to do farm work and was a scorekeeper. Now that the land has been divided, he directly gave the land to his eldest brother's family. His eldest brother helps him pay various taxes and then gives him food rations every year.

As for how he lived, his reason was simple: his wife was earning money outside, and he had a share in two chicken farms in the production team. The money he earned was enough for his family to live on, so there was no need for him to work himself to death.

His words made Miao Xiaohua very angry. She chased after him and beat him, but in the end she couldn't defeat him.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianxin to sell broiler chickens and offered him a salary of 100 yuan, and he agreed.

The reason for such a high salary is that the salary has been rising since last year. Li Jianguo's salary has also increased to 126.

In order to save costs, Zhang Xiuhua only found Li Jianxin. She felt that with Li Jianxin's eloquence, there should be no problem.

In fact, Li Jianxin did not let her down, and soon several supply and marketing cooperatives agreed to take broiler chickens from their village.

But Li Jianxin also brought a piece of news, "I said our village has radishes and gala fruits this year, and you can sell them to them when the time comes, and they agreed."

Fruits have always been a hot commodity in the supply and marketing cooperatives, because in the past few production teams were willing to plant fruit trees.

First, the higher authorities had to meet grain targets, so very few orchards were approved. Second, the production teams had to find people to manage the orchards, and at that time, the fruit was not very valuable due to the unified sales and purchase, so few production teams were willing to plant fruit trees.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Okay. I'll sell it to them when the time comes."

In the blink of an eye, it was early July and all the broiler chickens were sold out.

After the accountant had done the math, each family got their share of the money from the broiler chickens. Zhang Xiuhua got 70 percent, the most money she received, more than 30,000 yuan.

With money in her hands, she can live a comfortable life.

On July 17th, Yaoyao took the high school entrance examination, and Zhang Xiuhua went to the county town to prepare meals for her.

The school gate was much quieter this year, with no vendors setting up stalls.

The state-owned restaurant was packed with people, and if she hadn't brought her own ingredients, she might not have been able to eat.

When she was waiting for Yaoyao at the school gate, she heard several parents discussing whether this year's top scorer would come from Lijiatun again.

You should know that Li Jiatun has won the top spot in the high school entrance examination for three consecutive years and has been in the news.

If it happens again this year, the feng shui of Lijiatun will definitely be very good.

In recent years, the authorities have not been strict enough to control the situation, and feudal superstition has resurfaced. Many villagers burn paper and money for their ancestors during the New Year, begging them to bless their descendants.

Zhang Xiuhua felt it was weird, but she couldn't help looking forward to it. Maybe Yaoyao will be the top scorer this year.

Yaoyao has always had good grades, although she has never been first in the exam, but what if she performs exceptionally well?

But she only thought about it in her heart. No matter how much she hoped, the probability was still relatively low. She didn't want to cause more trouble to her child.

After lunch, Zhang Xiuhua took the bus home. Jilin couldn't wait to greet her, "Mom! Give me some extra points!"

He held the report card in his hand, his whole face glowing. Zhuzhu pouted behind him, looking disdainful of him.

"What extra points?" Zhang Xiuhua took the report card and was stunned, because Jilin actually ranked second in the class. Last time he ranked third because the whole class was affected by the family division, what was the reason this time? She racked her brains to think of a reason. Could it be because of the land division? No way?! The land division had nothing to do with the children.

"Mom? Are you unhappy?" Ji Lin didn't get any response for a long time, and looked at her with his head tilted.

Zhang Xiuhua quickly put away her thoughts and put on a big smile, "No! I'm happy, I just feel like I'm dreaming. Son, how did you figure it out?!"

Everyone in the village knows how lazy Jilin is. He prefers to sit rather than stand and lie rather than sit. He is also very biased in his studies. He is good at math but poor at Chinese. He actually got 96 points in the Chinese test. In addition to the two points deducted for the composition, he also lost one point for the reading comprehension. Is the sun rising from the west?

Jilin blushed, "I want to go to college in the future. I don't want to do hard labor!"

Zhang Xiuhua suddenly realized that he had figured it out. He didn't want to use his physical strength, so he started to develop his brain. She touched his head and said, "Okay! Mom will give you extra points!"

Jilin looked at her expectantly, "Mom, can I sell popsicles?"

He has a freezer and a refrigerator at home, so he wants to make his own popsicles and sell them. Business will definitely be good.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled, "Okay! I'll teach you how to do it!"

It just so happened that she had a ready-made mold, so she might as well use it.

She taught Jilin how to make it. She originally planned to teach him how to make many kinds of popsicles: ice cream, mung bean cake, red bean cake, orange flavored popsicles, etc., but he only wanted to make popsicles and ice cream.

In his words, ice cream is made for the family, and popsicles are sold. Because few children in the village have savings, and adults are reluctant to buy expensive ones, so selling popsicles is easier.

This was his business, so Zhang Xiuhua just let him do what he wanted.
