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

When Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo returned home, she took Jidong to ask for his advice, "Your uncle wants to open a brewery in the county. There happened to be a clothing factory that was going to be transferred. The equipment there had already been sold, leaving only the factory building and land. He thought it was a good fit."

Jidong thought it sounded good, "Sure, it saves my uncle from rebuilding it. We can just go through the formalities directly."

Zhang Xiuhua knew that he didn't understand the situation here, so she told him that the garment factory had three bosses in a year, "To be honest, the business environment here is not good."

Jidong suddenly realized that it was not that this place was not good, but that except for the first few coastal cities that were developed, the business environment in the whole country was similar. The procedures were complicated and the efficiency was very slow. But his uncle was right, "As long as he can get connections, there will be no problem. Beer is a beverage, and it requires a steady stream of income. Locals will definitely not cheat too much when setting up factories."

Zhang Xiuhua heard his support and asked, "Do you think it can work?"

Jidong was not sure, "Let him try. Anyway, my uncle doesn't have the money to buy equipment right now. Before he saves enough money, maybe he will get all those connections. If you don't let him do it, he will definitely feel uncomfortable."

My uncle gave up his job to take care of my grandmother, but he definitely didn't want to work in the orchard forever. He wanted to do something more.

Zhang Xiuhua thought about it carefully and it made sense. "Then I will support him."

She turned around and found Li Jianguo, and drew a line for him, "The maximum amount for buying a factory is 50,000, and the maximum amount for getting connections is 30,000. We only have 80,000 in public funds, and you can only use this money. You are not allowed to touch the courtyard house you bought before, and you are not allowed to go out and borrow money!"

Seeing that she finally agreed, Li Jianguo assured her again and again, "It will definitely be no problem."

"Don't rush to promise. Yaoyao will study for seven years for a bachelor's and master's degree. She will also go abroad to study. Don't waste all your money." Zhang Xiuhua was really not optimistic about building a brewery here. In her opinion, waiting for three years would not change anything. But Li Jianguo just didn't believe in evil and insisted on trying. So let him try.

It was the end of the year, a good time to build relationships, so Zhang Xiuhua took over the task of pruning the orchard, giving Li Jianguo ample time to display his talents.

When he was busy, Zhang Xiuhua and her family invited Xiangxiang to their home for dinner. Youcai cooked for them himself, and the family enjoyed themselves.

"Xiangxiang will graduate next year, right? What kind of job do you plan to do?" Zhang Xiuhua asked curiously.

"There are too few jobs in the capital, and I may not be assigned to the capital. I will start my own business." Xiangxiang has made up her mind.

"Starting a business? What to do?" Zhenzhen is also opening a store, and she is very interested in this topic.

Xiang Xiang smiled and said, "Several state-owned shopping malls in the capital are facing closure. I plan to rent one of them."

Youcai said frankly, "That must be a lot of money, right? Do you have that much money?"

"My parents support me in part, and I have saved some money myself, and I can also apply for a bank loan. It should be no problem." Xiang Xiang smiled, "I am not opening a store myself, I am letting brands move in, and I charge management fees and operating fees. I only need to pay for rent and decoration, and I don't need to stock the goods, so the price is not that much."

Zhuzhu's eyes lit up, "My second brother runs a clothing factory. Let him move into your mall when the time comes."

"What he does is OEM, not brand sales. Although they are both clothes, they are actually two different fields." Think about correcting the difference here.

"Is it difficult to get a project like this in the capital?" Zhang Xiuhua didn't say anything. Because the capital, like the Northeast, is a semi-open city, unlike the coastal cities, which have long been open.

"I don't know anyone. But I heard that there will be an external bidding, and I will participate." Xiangxiang didn't have any connections, so she could only use the dumbest method.

Jidong sighed, "I wanted to help her, but she wouldn't let me. She said she wanted to do it on her own."

Youcai didn't quite understand, "He has connections, why don't you use them? If you don't have connections with the higher-ups, the chances of you failing in competing for such a large project will be very high."

"It's okay! If this mall doesn't work out, there are still several malls." Xiangxiang didn't want to rely on Jidong. They weren't married yet, and she owed too much before marriage. If they broke up, she wouldn't be able to pay it back. She still wanted to rely on herself, "I want to try."

This child still has backbone. Zhang Xiuhua did not say anything discouraging. She smiled and encouraged her, "You can try it yourself. No one is born successful."

After dinner, everyone was chatting at the door to help digestion. Just then, voices were heard at the entrance of the village. Everyone looked in the direction of the voices and found that it was the migrant workers who had returned.

Last year, two groups of people left their hometown to work outside their hometown. One group was young people who went to Shenzhen, and the other was strong laborers who went to work in the Nantong Brewery.

Two groups of people arrived home at the same time and were all crowded at the entrance of the village. No wonder the noise was so loud.

When the villagers heard the noise, they all came out to watch the fun.

"Hey, Sanpang, you're back? Did you make a fortune out there?"

"What kind of fortune do I want to make? I'm just a worker. I earn my money through hard work."

Zhang Xiuhua also came out, but she looked around and didn't see Ergou at all. He came back with these people last year, why is he gone this year? Did something happen to him?

Zhang Xiuhua stopped one of the strong laborers and asked, "Where is Ergou?"

"He didn't come back." Zhuang Laoli said that the production line in Nantong has been set up, with a total of ten production lines, which can meet the needs of several surrounding cities. He is going to visit other cities to see if he can build a factory there.

Beer is sold in glass bottles, and the place is too far away, so wholesalers are unwilling to come to pick up the goods. If a factory is built locally, a lot of travel expenses can be saved.

Jidong was very confused. "It's Chinese New Year, officials also need to rest?! If he runs over there, who will receive him?!"

The strong laborer was not very clear, "Maybe it's to check the venue?"

When Youcai heard that there were ten production lines so quickly, he admired Ergou's ability. He whispered to Jidong, "Look, this guy is a man who can do big things. He has built ten production lines in two years."

Jidong was a little amused. "You are a chef. Comparing your earnings with his, aren't you a little overestimating yourself?"

Youcai was so angry that he wanted to come over and strangle him, but Jidong dodged with a big laugh.

With these people back, the village became lively again. Aunt Wang went to other people's homes every day to listen to gossip, and then came back to tell Zhang Xiuhua.

"I heard that there are many factories opening in the south now, and the electronics factories are also hiring male workers." Aunt Wang said with some regret, "If we were younger, we could go to the south to work and make a lot of money."

Zhang Xiuhua did not say that working in the electronics factory was bad for the health, because for people at that time, making money was the most important thing, and physical safety was not even within their consideration.

In addition to those who came back from work, those who went to school outside also came back one after another. Yaoyao came back on the 27th.

As soon as she came back, the house became much more lively. Zhuzhu stopped going out to play and asked Yaoyao questions every day.

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

When Zhang Xiuhua and Aunt Wang were chatting, Xu Chunying came over and cried, saying that Hongxia did not come back this year.

She came over and asked Yaoyao why Hongxia didn't come back.

Yaoyao was very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Zhang Xiuhua guessed from her expression that she knew the truth, so she encouraged her to speak directly, "This is your aunt, you are just a messenger, what are you afraid of."

Yaoyao then told the truth, "Sister Hongxia is worried that if she comes back for the New Year, you will ask her to go on blind dates. So it's better for her not to come back. She will stay in the capital alone for the New Year."

Xu Chunying was so angry that her face turned blue. She wanted to pull her daughter back right now. But she also knew that this was impossible. She cried to Zhang Xiuhua, "I am doing this for her own good! She even hates me! She is already 24 years old. When I was her age, Hongwu could already do some housework. Why is she so troublesome!"

What else can Zhang Xiuhua say? "If she doesn't want to come back for a blind date, let her look for one in the capital. There are a lot of young men there. Don't worry about marrying far away now. The happiness of the child is the most important thing."

Xu Chunying's eyes were red. She had no choice but to compromise. "As long as the man treats her well, I don't care whether he marries far away or not."

Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, Sister Hongxia had achieved her goal.
