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

When they arrived at the restaurant, they were warmly welcomed by Youcai and served a table of Northeastern and Huaiyang dishes.

The reason why Huaiyang cuisine is also served is because Baolin has been eating Zhang Xiuhua's cooking since she was a child, and she prefers the taste of Huaiyang cuisine.

After Youcai served the dishes, he didn't rush to leave. He wanted to chat with Baolin. He hadn't seen his sister for a long time.

But Baolin had no time to answer him, and was completely focused on eating, talking non-stop. He didn't even give him a chance to ask questions.

Youcai felt very distressed and poured her a glass of water, "Hey, eat slowly, don't choke! How many days have you not eaten? How did you become like this?"

Baolin had no time to answer him and slapped him twice.

"Ten days?" Youcai asked tentatively.

Baolin nodded. Foreign countries are more developed than China, but the food there is really bad. The food is always the same, so boring.

Youcai felt even more distressed, "No wonder."

Afraid that she would choke, Youcai patted her back and said, "Then come over to eat after you finish recording the show. Why did you make yourself so miserable when you went abroad? Would Jidong be like this when he went to the United States? He didn't complain when he called back!"

Baolin didn't answer him. Youcai consoled himself, "Jidong isn't picky about food or clothes, I guess he doesn't care about this."

Seeing that she ate so much, I was afraid that her stomach couldn't handle it, so I quickly stopped her and said, "Don't eat! If you eat too much, your stomach will hurt later!"

Baolin was still not satisfied, "It's delicious! So fragrant."

She looked at the one-third of the food left and said, "Brother Youcai, after we finish recording the show, please prepare some midnight snack for me!"

"Okay!" Youcai asked her what time.

Baolin glanced at his watch and said, "Don't worry, there's still an hour left."

She ate too much, so she stood up and took a walk to eat, and the coach stood up with her.

Youcai wanted to ask her about the competition, but the kitchen staff came to urge him. He couldn't chat with them and asked them to take a taxi to the TV station. "Come back after the show. I'll take you to where you're staying."

"Okay!" Baolin and the coach left first.

Zhang Xiuhua had no idea that she had missed Baolin. When she returned to her hometown, she originally wanted to tell the villagers the news that Baolin had won the Olympic championship as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that they already knew it.

After asking, I learned that many families in the village had bought TVs. They couldn't afford color TVs, so they bought black and white TVs.

I stayed at home during the winter and watched TV to kill time.

Many people in the village suggested holding a celebration party for Baolin, but Li Jianguo rejected it, saying, "Forget it. She's not at home, and it would be too ostentatious to hold such a party."

Baolin is now in her prime, so we must not let her get into trouble. Chinese people like humble people the most, not those who are too ostentatious.

The villagers surrounded Zhang Xiuhua and asked her how she was doing in the capital.

Zhang Xiuhua told them about what she had seen and heard in the capital, and when they learned that they were attending the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square, everyone looked excited.

"When I have money, I will visit the capital."

In a blink of an eye, Baolin returned from the capital.

When the villagers saw her, their attitude changed drastically, "Oh my, the world champion of our village is back?!"

"Baolin, is Canada fun?"

"Baolin, why don't you participate in the 500-meter skating competition?"

Questions came one after another and Baolin was overwhelmed.

It was Zhuzhu who ran over and helped her sister out of the situation.

When we got home, the villagers still did not leave, but asked many questions of interest.

"Our child can run fast too. Is she suitable for skating?"

They used to think that sports were far away from them, but after seeing Baolin win the world championship and bring glory to the country, parents whose children did not do well in school wanted to find another way out for their children.

Baolin smiled and said, "If he is really interested, you can buy some skating equipment and let him try skating at home. If he really has talent, you can sign him up for the sports team."

After she answered the villagers' questions, Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo rushed back after hearing the news.

Zhang Xiuhua hugged her daughter, and asked her what Baolin liked to eat, and she would make it right away.

Baolin named several dishes in a row and Zhang Xiuhua went to prepare them.

When she finished cooking the food, the villagers didn't want to disturb them while they were eating, so they left one by one.

Zhuzhu squeezed in front of Baolin and said, "Sister Baolin, you are now the most promising kid in our village!"

Baolin was a little amused, "Why does your tone sound so sour?!"

Yaoyao laughed, "She's jealous."

Zhuzhu's cheeks were slightly red, and she wanted to hit Yaoyao's arm, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not jealous. I just feel that everyone's mentality has changed from before."

Li Jianguo invited them to come over for dinner and said with a smile, "Before, everyone only knew about the college entrance examination. Now that Baolin has won the world championship in ice skating, they see another possibility. This is what they call all roads lead to Rome!"

Zhang Xiuhua also nodded, "Zhuzhu, you don't have to envy Baolin. When you become a household name, they may follow your example!"

Zhuzhu doesn't feel this is a burden at all, she even looks forward to this day, "That would be great, it means I am also a role model for them?!"

"Of course!" Zhang Xiuhua smiled from ear to ear.

In the afternoon, when they were watching TV, they saw Baolin being interviewed by CCTV. Soon, newspapers also reported Baolin's deeds.

With the deliberate publicity of the media, Baolin became famous all over the country in an instant.

People from other villages came here after hearing the news, hoping to meet Baolin. She originally wanted to rest for a few more days at home, but she couldn't stand the people at her doorstep every day, so she returned to the team.

After Baolin left, the village completely returned to its former tranquility.

**

That morning, Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo were surrounded by villagers, asking when they could invest in the brewery.

They had talked about building a brewery before, but how come it has been shelved after so long?

Li Jianguo asked them to wait patiently. "Ergou went out of town for an inspection and didn't come back for the New Year. I will notify everyone when he comes back."

Just then, someone shouted from behind, "Hey, Ergou, you're back?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked over. That person was not Er Gou. Why was he here? !

Ergou was exhausted and carrying a bag. This time he did not freeze himself into an ice stick to show off. Instead, he wore a thick down jacket and a fox fur hat, which made him look quite cute.

The villagers surrounded him, and he smiled at them, "The brewery has been built, and the equipment has been delivered. I came back to take you to work!"

When everyone heard that the equipment had arrived and it was time to pay, they couldn't help but ask, "How many workers do you need?"

"We are a small brewery, producing about 8,000 bottles a day. I need four loaders, six packagers, two electricians and two brewers."

Electricians and brewers both require skills, but they are all authentic farmers and have no skills at all. Only loaders and packers are qualified, and there are only ten percent of the jobs.

Zhang Xiuhua also interjected at the right time, "The top ten investors can get a job. Our family doesn't need one, and neither does Ergou. So it's the top twelve."

When everyone heard this, they immediately crowded over and asked, "How much investment will the top twelve have?"

If they go to Pengcheng to work, they may not get their wages back. But Ergou is from the same village, so he certainly can't cheat them. Working in Nantong is a little far, but it's worth it if they can get their wages back.

"At least four thousand!" Ergou roughly estimated the number.

Zhang Xiuhua was a little surprised. Could it be that Ergou didn't have enough money? So he raised the price?

The villagers didn’t have that much money at the moment and said they would go home and discuss it.

The others surrounded Er Gou and asked, "Can breweries really make money?"

"You can make money. I invested 200,000 yuan." Ergou said firmly.

When everyone heard that he had invested so much, their last bit of worry disappeared.

After the villagers gradually dispersed, Zhang Xiuhua took Ergou back home.

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo cooked a goose stew in an iron pot and steamed rice. The whole family enjoyed the dish with gusto.

Zhang Xiuhua then asked Ergou why he raised the price.

Ergou told her, "Before, we only thought about the money for building the factory and equipment. In fact, we still have to buy grain. The money from the grain station must be paid in cash, and cannot be paid on credit!"

Zhang Xiuhua also reacted, "Yes, yes, yes! I forgot about this. That's a little more!" She thought for a moment, "I can get an extra 10,000 yuan. It's the rent I just collected."

Li Jianguo also added, "I also have 10,000 yuan here, which is the money from selling the fox."

Ergou nodded, "Okay. We'll calculate the shares based on the amount of capital invested later."

In the next few days, Ergou stayed at home waiting for people to register.

The entire village invested 38.8 yuan, accounting for 23.5% of the shares; Ergou invested 18.8 yuan, accounting for 8.23% of the shares; Zhang Xiuhua invested 4.7 yuan, accounting for 5.88% of the shares; Li Jianguo and Zhang Xiuhua’s public funds invested yuan, accounting for % of the shares; Li Jianguo personally invested yuan, accounting for % of the shares; Youcai invested yuan, accounting for % of the shares.

Originally, Cai could have invested 60,000 yuan, but because the restaurant had to expand and renovate, and because a child was about to be born, he had 10,000 yuan less than before.

Li Jianguo and Youcai both used the money they got from the Siheyuan as loans. After signing the contract and sending the money, to be honest, both of them were a little nervous.

It was better for Youcai, after all, he had a restaurant and a barbecue restaurant, so he had no worries about money. But Li Jianguo was worried that if the brewery went bankrupt, his courtyard house would be taken away by the bank. But he couldn't tell anyone about his idea, so he could only spend all his energy on raising foxes.

The villagers were better off, as they followed Ergou to Nantong to work. Ten families each sent a strong laborer, packed their bags, said goodbye to their families, and followed Youcai.

The strong laborers who went this time were basically people in their twenties and thirties who were able to do heavy physical work.
