Chapter 167
Lu Yuanzheng reacted to the meaning of these words, froze and was a bit disbelieving, “Are you saying that this ship will be given to Rainbow Island?”
The ship definitely belonged to the fleet, it would just be moored at Rainbow Island on weekdays
And the warriors on Rainbow Island could also borrow the Yangtze River ship to learn and train
Learning to use the world’s newest and most powerful warship was probably the wish of every warrior on Rainbow Island and even the entire fleet, right?
According to the rules, the Yangtze River ship could never be Lu Yuanzheng’s turn
Although Lu Yuanzheng is a navy, he is considered an amphibious force, and often the sea ships will not belong to them
Lu Yuanzheng stood up and bowed deeply to Ma Liang: “Thank you, Mr Ma!”
He is not stupid, the Yangtze River ship will come to Rainbow Island, must be Ma Liang played a small role
He guessed with his toes that there must be a lot of units that are grabbing this ship
Ma Liang waved his hand, “I just said a few irrelevant words, the most important thing is that you two got it through your own efforts”
The Kaya was in trouble on Rainbow Island, during the period when the Kaya was staying on Rainbow Island, Lu Yuanzheng handled the situation very well, strictly defending the ship, letting the Kaya be restricted in every aspect of Rainbow Island, and ultimately failing to achieve their goal
Xu Man was even the one who made the most of it, directly getting back the drawings of the Kaya
As a matter of fact, they should also be the first to board the ship
“In fact, if I don’t come, you should all receive the official notification tomorrow I’m a person who can’t hide his words, so I’m here to give you the good news in advance”
After thanking Xu Man again, Lu Yuanzheng arranged for Ma Liang and his assistant to go and rest
Ma Liang wasn’t a man who couldn’t hide his words, he was just expressing his gratitude to the two of them, especially Xu Man
As Ma Liang said, on the second day, a notice from the commanding general arrived
The notification was from Lu Yuanzheng, asking him to hand over his work and bring a few people to pick up the ship
As for Xu Man, it was a VIP invited by Ma Liang
A group of several people, departing from Rainbow Island, took two days to arrive at the shipyard
They saw the Yangtze River ship that was going to be launched into the ocean
Length, width and height of up to dozens of meters in kind with only a few dozen centimeters of the model in the visual impact is not a grade
Xu Man is a layman, simply feel very sacred and very powerful, like a sword that has just opened its edge, sharp, with the ambition to conquer the world and domineering
Lu Yuanzheng was different, he was a connoisseur
To him, the significance of this ship was like a painter’s brush, a dancer’s clothes, and a chivalrous man’s sword
Xu Man looked sideways at Lu Yuanzheng, his face seemed calm, but his eyes were turbulent
After a while, the emotions in Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes gradually calmed down and he spoke, “Actually, when I first enlisted, I was assigned to a ship It was a real navy”
Xu asked, “Huh?” She let out a cry, this was the first time she had heard him speak about this
Although Lu Yuanzheng was a northerner, he especially loved water, and even more so, boats
He was the crew with the best specialized skills
Being the captain of a military ship was probably a dream shared by many soldiers who served on military ships
Lu Yuanzheng’s favorite was the destroyer
This was because destroyers could both attack and defend in a ship formation, and could also support in a landing or counter-landing
“I also studied a related specialty in military school” Lu Yuanzheng smiled and lightly shook his head as he remembered the old days, when he was also the man of the hour at the military school
The specialty course went back and forth to first place
“How did you get to your current unit later”
Lu Yuanzheng’s unit is considered a special operations unit, under the Navy’s control, but it is almost always land combat or shallow sea combat, can’t say that it has nothing to do with the ship, but the ship is definitely not his home turf
“Because, want to go to war to kill the enemy”
In later years, the war faded more and more out of sight
It wasn’t that it didn’t exist, but it was small in scope and not very public
Especially between the big countries, will not be open and honest against the war, are secretly camouflaged later invasion
The kind where you can’t find evidence even if you get caught
So even in the destroyer, really open the ship to fight the time is particularly rare
On the contrary, the sea and land special operations forces are considered to be the real front-line combat troops
Like the primitive wars of old, it was either you or me
It was like what happened the moment Xu Man met Lu Yuanzheng
Behind them, several military ships of various functions were parked, but they were really the only ones who actually went to the island to fight
Slowly, Lu Yuanzheng didn’t think about all of this until he saw the Yangtze River ship now, and heard Ma Liang say that in the future, this ship would be moored at Rainbow Island, under their control
This ship was still different from the Kaya, more like a large destroyer in terms of performance
That’s why it evoked old stories and old wishes in Lu Yuanzheng’s heart
The Yangtze River ship went down to the sea amidst all the attention, and Lu Yuanzheng held Xu Man’s hand on the ship
The ship was equipped with warriors who drove the ship, and Lu Yuanzheng was really just here to pick up the ship
Because Xu Man was very low-key and strongly wished to conceal his existence, he only said to the public that Ma Liang had designed the ship
So the officers and soldiers coming and going on the ship were particularly curious as to why Xu Man, a military wife, was on the ship
It was clear to everyone that this ship was not something that ordinary people could come up to
However, it was just curiosity
Xu Man got on the boat and separated from Lu Yuanzheng
He had business to attend to, so she followed Ma Liang
This was the first time this ship had gone to sea, and Ma Liang and his team had followed, just in case there were any accidents on the way
The Yangtze River was very competitive, and nothing fell through the cracks along the way
All the weapons and functions were tested at sea, and they were all normal
The official handover was completed at Rainbow Island
The officers and soldiers who came with the ship also stayed at Rainbow Island
Driving the ship they were the professionals
The temporary captain of the Yangtze River was named Yu Guangping
After Yu Guangping settled his subordinates on Rainbow Island, he pulled Lu Yuanzheng into a small meeting
At first, Xu Wen didn’t take it seriously, thinking that people’s units were on the island, so they definitely had to have a good exchange
Who knows that this exchange, exchange for most of the night
Lu Yuanzheng only came back at dawn, his face is not good
Xu asked the reason why he knew he was back, because Xiao Xiachu happened to just wake up
Lu Yuanzheng let Xu Man sleep, washed his own hands, and served his daughter before coming back
Seeing that Xu Man was still awake, he frowned, “Did I wake you up?”
Xu Man shook her head, her sleep quality was quite good, often able to serve the child and then go to sleep, the main thing was that Lu Yuanzheng didn’t look quite right
“What’s wrong with you?”
Lu Yuanzheng pursed his lips and didn’t say anything
“Confidentiality involved?”
Lu Yuanzheng gave a hmmm
Xu Wen then stopped asking
He could guess quite a bit without asking
The last time Lu Yuanzheng had shown this expression, it was because when he was going to go to a tournament and left the pregnant her behind
So, this time around, he was going away again?
The last time the tournament was a world tournament, there was news about it on TV and radio and newspapers, so it wasn’t too secretive
This time, when asked, they won’t say anything, proving that it’s related to the military operation
Thinking again about the Yangtze River ship that had just sailed back
Xu Wen let out a long sigh, “It’s true that pie doesn’t fall from the sky”
How could it be possible that just because she drew a diagram and the Kaya stopped here for a few months, the Yangtze River ship would be sent to them?
And it was still an upgraded version of the Kaya, which was more oriented towards the functions of a destroyer
According to Lu Yuanzheng, this ship was for fighting
After thinking about it, Lu Yuanzheng stepped over Xiao Xiachu and reached Xu Man’s side, lying on the outermost side of the bed, half of his body dangling on his side, embracing Xu Man, ”I can’t say anything else But, I may have to leave you and your daughter behind for a while again”
“For a long time?”
“It’s hard to say”
Xu Man nodded, “Good”
“Sorry”
Xu Wen laughed softly, “Lu Yuanzheng, you really are especially like a scumbag! It seems like ever since I met you, you’ve been saying sorry to me non-stop”
Lu Yuanzheng smiled bitterly, “About because, to you, I am indeed quite a scum”
Can you not be scummy?
Throwing away all the glorification that comes with his profession, he is the scum who left his bride at the wedding, left his pregnant wife, and now he is ready to leave his wife who just got out of the womb!
He was not ashamed of his country or his comrades, but only owed Xu Wen!
“The two of us have come this far, it’s meaningless to talk about this It’s fine, don’t worry about being busy with your business I can take care of the kids”
“Daughter-in-law ”
Xu Wen raised her hand and pressed her index finger on Lu Yuanzheng’s lips, “There’s no need to say sorry, and I don’t want to hear thank you It’s not like we’ve just met, I know all about your ‘not being able to help yourself'”
Lu Yuanzheng waited for her to let go before he finished adding what he hadn’t finished saying, “I meant to say that the departure time hasn’t been finalized yet For some time to come, we’ll be training around the Yangtze River about now Then the odds are over that we might not be able to accompany you home this year”
Xu asked, “Huh?” There was a cry, followed by an “Oh!” Gave a cry
Since there was no need to separate for a while yet, why think about other things now
Xu Man pretended to be fierce, “You go to sleep! Why are you putting such an important matter at the end?”
Can’t we just say when we’re leaving?
How much does it mess with people’s minds to say it earlier?
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Rainbow Island, since the completion of the capital construction, the officers and soldiers have never stopped training, but practicing so vigorously is the first time to see
Lu Yuanzheng was now also the commander of the Yangtze River ship
Because he was more familiar with the Yangtze River ship than the current captain
How could he not be familiar with it?
He had painted a large portion of these ships, and in the later stages, Ma Liang and the others worked under his watch
It was because of this that he was also the commander, otherwise it would have been Yu Guangping’s chief officer
Whether he was Lu Yuanzheng’s new partner, or whether he was a brother unit coming to the island, Shi Lei and Lu Yuanzheng had to work together
Both Lu Yuanzheng and Shi Lei had to do their best to treat their guests as hosts
Because Xu Wen is now milking the child, it is not convenient to cook, so the meal at Shi Lei’s house, Song Baoying spoon
Yu Guangping is a fisherman origin, water is particularly good, since the army has been dealing with the boat, but also a little bit from an ordinary soldier to the current position
In terms of age, he was a little older than both Shi Lei and Lu Yuanzheng
Just between them, seniority is not according to age
Lu Yuanzheng and Shi Lei called him Captain Yu, he called Lu Yuanzheng Lu battalion, called Shi Lei instructor
Yu Guangping’s family was indeed in the Yangtze River Basin and was considered a southerner
At the dinner table, they seldom discussed official business
About because they as leaders are usually very stable
The biggest officials of Rainbow Island got together for dinner and didn’t even speak a few words
Song Baoying whispered to Xu Wen, “How is this like coworkers? It’s like a boring meeting! You might as well bring Xiao Xiachu here Bringing a child is more interesting than being at the table with them”
Xu Man nodded with a smile
Little Xiachu was less than six months old now, and wasn’t quite able to sit still, and her little hands weren’t quite good at grasping
The point is that she can’t stay
She always wanted to be held, and she also wanted to go out to play
This kind of meal, which will obviously be eaten for an hour or two, is not suitable for her at all
Anyway, she was already able to add supplements, so Xueche and Dongsheng could take care of her
Xu Che prefers Rainbow Island’s elementary school, so she stays here to go to school
Yuanbao, seeing Xu Che and Dongsheng here, also wanted to come, but Xu Wang refused to let him
Xu Wang thinks that one Xu Che is already enough to cause trouble for Xu Wen, and adding another Yuanbao will kill him
The age of seven and eight is the age when a dog hates people
Xu Man also did not force, she usually have a lot of things to do, really afraid to take care of a bear child
Most of the time, Xu Che and Dongsheng are very good
But, in the end is a child, there are always stumbling fights and temper tantrums to make the time
The men don’t talk, in order not to let the atmosphere at the dinner table is too awkward, Xu Wen and Song Baoying will talk to them about some things
It was sort of a disguised way of introducing Rainbow Island to Yu Guangping
Yu Guangping gave a thumbs up towards Xu Man, “Sister-in-law, although we’ve only just met, we’ve all heard of your name”
This time Xu Wen was surprised, “You know me?”
“That’s for sure, not just me, I don’t think there are many people who don’t know about you among our navy officers and soldiers”
Xu Man: “”
Was she that famous?
Lu Yuanzheng held her hand under the table to solve her confusion, “Although you only move around Rainbow Island But the officers and soldiers of Rainbow Island are not fixed When the defense changed, many soldiers went to other units, and it was inevitable that they would mention you
Besides, even if they are fixed, all these warriors have their own hometowns, and when they go home, they also have comradeship gatherings and whatnot Pass the word around, and about you’ll be famous”
“Lu Battalion is right!” Yu Guangping nodded, “That’s how I heard about you from the old folks I heard that you are young and pretty and especially talented! I had only heard about it before, but now I know that you are the biggest contributor to even the Yangtze River ship!”
Although Ma Liang and the others helped to hide the news, but the world has no impermeable wall, this is a good thing and not a bad thing, the cover up is not attentive, positions like Yu Guangping heard about it is not a surprise
Xu Wen was a little shy and shook his head, “Rumors can’t be trusted There’s a lot of exaggeration”
“I used to feel the same way, but now that I’ve seen you for real, I realize that it’s actually not too exaggerated! Sister-in-law, you are truly too talented! It’s still Camp Lu that’s blessed to have married such a virtuous wife as you!”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded his head with a proud face, not being modest: “That’s for sure!”
Shi Lei tsked, “If you don’t praise him, his tail is going up to the sky, and he’s still praising! Come on, Captain Yu has complimented you, why don’t you toast him?”
Lu Yuanzheng also meant the same thing, not waiting for Shi Lei to finish, he already raised his cup
In this way, after the wine, the men talked more and more
Shi Lei did not drink, he had to be on duty at night
Men eat, once you drink wine, the box will be opened, there is no chat
Xu asked the uneasy daughter, accompanied by sitting for a while, first went home
A long sigh into the door
The children are fine, no matter whether they have teeth or no teeth, they are happy to the end
In fact it was four children, and Doudou who came to visit
The floor was covered with a mattress, Xiachu lying on the mattress, waving her little arms and legs, showing her teeth beds and giggling
Dongsheng rattle in one hand and a wooden gun in the other, DouDou one hand cloth doll, hand small bamboo basket, the two people take turns to tease Xiachu
For children as old as Dongsheng and DouDou, everything can be a toy, including little XiaChu
Especially for Doudou at this age, Xiachu is similar to a toy doll
In concert with Dongsheng, the two people dressed Doudou
like the village flower girl, or the winter version
Xu Man’s skirt was wrapped horizontally around Xia Chou, and Xu Man’s hairpin was worn on her head
The most exaggerated thing was that Xu Man’s makeup was also turned over, and they even put a big red dot on Xia Chu’s forehead
Xu Man drew the corners of his mouth, no need to ask, this must have been taken out by Dongsheng and drawn by DouDou, belonging to a joint crime
Xu Che did not participate, he was writing his homework, writing for a while to look up at them
Anyway, don’t cry and don’t make trouble
From the position of the door until the back of the stairs, thrown all kinds of toys, paper balls
There were also unexplained marks on the ground
Xu Wen rubbed his forehead, sure enough, there was a price to pay for laziness
There was even a heavier price to pay for using child labor
Xu Man first rescued Xia Chu from her skirt
Only to find that what was rescued was a naked little person
“Mom, my sister wet her clothes before we changed her”
“Then you guys are awesome! Being able to catch your sister peeing her pants in time However, I have a question, why don’t you give your sister her clothes instead of giving her my clothes?”
This time Doudou spoke up, “Ask Auntie, none of Xiachu’s clothes look good! Yours look good!”
Xu asked, “”
She was actually speechless
Xu Wen took a deep breath, barely tugging at the corners of her mouth as she affirmed to the two of them, “You two are right! You guys play first, I’ll go take Xia Chu for a bath”
By the time Xu Wen cleaned up the flowers on Xia Chu’s face and body, it was already half an hour later
When she carries Xia Chu downstairs, the big kids have already disappeared, and Lu Yuanzheng is mopping the floor in the living room
Xu Wen was a bit surprised, “Why did you come back so early?”
“Xu Che looked for me, he said he couldn’t clean Xia Chu’s clothes”
Lu Yuanzheng looked at Xu Che who was rubbing his hands until they were red, so he guessed that the house was a mess and came back with Xu Che
Seeing such a messy room was also a bit of a surprise, so he simply stayed behind and started sweeping and mopping the floor
“Where’s Kouche and Toshio and the others?”
“Xiao Che ran an errand for me and went to Shi Lei’s house to report that I’m not going over Dongsheng went to send Doudou home”
Xu Man nodded and hugged Xia Chu and sat down on the sofa
Lu Yuanzheng finished cleaning and sat beside Xu Man, “Why don’t we hire an aunt at home?”
Xu Man himself, all these chores day in and day out must be exhausting
The main Dongsheng had also reached the age where people hated dogs
If he wasn’t at home, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to keep them down
Xu Man shook his head, ”I’ve been thinking about this since the moment Xia Chu was born But it’s still too early, the policy allows it!”
A battalion commander’s family hiring a nanny?
This was purely looking for trouble
“However, I did think of a way” Xu asked
“What way?”
Even though he knew that Xu Man would not be able to resist saying it himself, Lu Yuanzheng still pursued the question with particular cooperation
“Let’s help second brother and second sister-in-law hire a helper chef or simply hire a nanny for them, and let my mom come and help us bring up the kids” Xu Wen smugly said, “I’ve asked around, self-employed people can hire workers, no more than seven people will do”
Having someone to help Second Brother cook Second Sister-in-Law would be able to spend more time watching the child, or hire a child caregiver to keep Sang Xiaoqing busy with the meals, all of which would be fine
Zhu Meizhen would be able to come and help her with the child
Lu Yuanzheng frowned, “This idea, in theory, is good But you have to ask Second Sister-in-law and Mom’s opinion Hiring a helper is fine, but if you want to hire a nanny, they are unfamiliar with Pengcheng and are afraid of being hostile to strangers”
How could a nanny be as attentive as a grandmother?
As for Zhu Meizhen, she had spent so much time with Chunsheng, how would she want to be separated from her eldest grandson?
Xu Man nodded, “I know I won’t hurt the family’s peace over this”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “If the family agrees to hire a cook or nanny, we’ll pay for it Then hire an extra one and bring Dad here as well”
“What’s the point of having Dad come? He doesn’t know how to babysit”
Lu Yuanzheng raised his hand and lightly knocked a chestnut on Xu Man’s head, “You little heartless bastard Dad loves you so much! Mom and Dad have lived together for most of their lives, and have only been separated from Dad for a few months because of your monthly and summer vacations If mom comes over, is it appropriate for you to leave dad in Pengcheng?”
Xu Man rubbed his forehead and swallowed back his retort, embarrassed, “I didn’t think that much I’m not as meticulous as a daughter as you are as a son-in-law”
Ashamed!
“Rather, there’s no need to be so self-condemning” Lu Yuanzheng said in a light voice, “You just have too many things in your little head and didn’t think of it for a while You’ll definitely notice when mom gets to the island, and you’ll pick up dad on your own at that time as well”
Xu Wen looked at Lu Yuanzheng with the whites of one-half of her eyes, her large eyes narrowing, “Lu Yuanzheng, why do I hear gloating in your words?”
Lu Yuanzheng raised his hands in the air and cried out, “It’s obviously you who don’t treat me as one of your own I’ve been called our father and our mother, but you’re still so clear about what a daughter and son-in-law are!”
Xu Wen: “”
Xu Man changed the topic, “I don’t know if Dad is willing to come”
Lu Yuanzheng thought about comforting her, “He should be willing I’ll find a place for him to cultivate I see that Dad likes to drum up crops”
Xu Wen clapped her hands, agreeing with Lu Yuanzheng’s suggestion, “Right! If Dad doesn’t want to come and live with us, let him and Mom stay in the wooden house where those schoolgirls lived It’s a residential area anyway”
Lu Yuanzheng lost his smile, “Well, that’s a good idea! But only if everyone agrees to your proposal”
Xu Wen was unsure about this, “They should agree, right?”
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t comment, “Speaking of female students Recently, several people have come to me Saying that you promised to give them a collective wedding on the National Day, but delayed it, they all want to find you to make a firm appointment!”
“It’s not that I don’t do it for them My students are all so outstanding, most of them have gotten into their ideal schools Some of them are in the capital, so how do you think they usually have so much time to rush back and get married? Didn’t we agree, after the New Year?”
Most of her fifty to sixty female students had gotten into good schools
The best, like Wang Fang, was Tsinghua There were also a few undergraduates, a few specialties, and a dozen junior colleges
These days, junior colleges are also considered high education are packaged and assigned
It is reasonable that should be done before the year, but Xu asked to go back to school before the Spring Festival to take the test
They all think Xu Wen is the bride, do not want Xu Wen absent, would rather marry a few days later to wait for her
Xu Man was also too kind to refuse
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “When did you make the appointment with them?”
“The day before yesterday, right? I was able to confirm the time with the sisters first before relaying it to those soldier brothers”
“No wonder! They came to me the day before yesterday and I forgot to ask you!”
“If you had asked a few days later, maybe their children would have been born”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“You said, what if mom and dad don’t agree to come?” Xu Wen was a bit unsure of convincing his parents
“Then I’ll make a report and apply to hire a nanny”
Xu Man: “”
That would be a real disgrace to the entire army
In the end, it was still Lu Yuanzheng who lifted the young, as long as the cadre’s official was big enough, he would still be given a nanny!
“It’s okay if mom and dad can’t come” Xu Man thought for a moment, “There’s another way that’s not a way, it’s just a bit of a hole in the regulations”
Privately hiring a nanny would easily be called out as a senior do-gooder
However, Xu Man also had the status of being Luo Zemin’s partner, so it wasn’t too much to call him Mr Xu
And because Luo Zemin was a non-national, his company was still considered foreign-funded even though it was domestic
As a foreign manager, it was not excessive to have an assistant
Since he was a living assistant, helping Xu Wen with his children was also a normal job
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Very compliant indeed
Saturday morning, Xu family’s small courtyard
The family heard that Xu Man had something to discuss, and they all waited for her at home in unison
Xu Wen knew that they all had business and were very busy, and as soon as she arrived at the small courtyard, she couldn’t even bother to take a sip of water before briefly explaining the matter
Everyone is fine with it
For Zhu Meizhen, the heart of the hand are meat, which children need her, she will help who
Xu Qiusi is also very happy, like Lu Yuanzheng said, he is especially happy to hear that he can plant the land
Although it’s easier to help Xu Wen at the hotel, it’s hard for him not to touch the sickle and hoe for a long time
Xu Wen is still helping Xu Wen and Xu Wang make a business plan during the month
And both families did what she said, and now they are all serious bosses
Xu Wen is now earning four figures a month, and Xu Wang will be able to make his money back soon
Under such a premise, Xu Wen’s request for Zhu Meizhen to help her take care of her children really wasn’t too much to ask
Not to mention that she also had a compensation condition, which was to hire two workers for Xu Wen
“We don’t need you to hire people, we’ll do it ourselves In fact, even if you didn’t say anything, we were planning to hire people The business in the store is just too good right now, we’re already too busy!” Sang Xiaoqing was especially happy, saying busy, but her eyebrows were arched
“Thank you sister-in-law! However, one size does not fit all The workers should still be hired by us” What Lu Yuanzheng meant was that he couldn’t let Zhu Meizhen work for nothing, and he had to give Zhu Meizhen a salary as well
But this can’t be said at this time, for fear that Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing will hear it
After all, Zhu Meizhen has been helping them with their children for free
If Xu Wen gets paid for bringing up their children, won’t it make them look ungrateful?
In fact, everyone defaulted to the grandmother bringing up the children
In Wei Zhuang, all the grandmothers in the commune who were physically able to do so had brought up their children
And with grandmothers in charge, no one paid wages
Now that the Xu family is out of the picture, the ones with no income have become Zhu Meizhen and her husband
The two of them eat and live together with their son and daughter-in-law, and there is no shortage of money for the two of them to spend
But Lu Yuanzheng said, their hands have a money to spend conveniently, or the old man can not face looking for children to open their mouths
Xu Man thinks it makes sense, intends to return to the island in the name of living expenses to Zhu Meizhen money, otherwise Zhu Meizhen will not accept
Sang Xiaoqing disagreed, “We always follow you and Lu Yuanzheng to take advantage of, this matter you do not want to argue with us When you bought the house, you said you would collect rent, and you don’t want it if you really give it to you”
“This house has been increasing in price, the increase is much higher than the rent”
Xu Wen nodded, “That’s true This year we have also saved some money, next year we will also buy two stores It’s practical to open a store in your own house!”
“Right! I also have this idea When I save up enough money next year, I’ll take my store down” Xu Wang said with a look of determination
Xu Wang and Xie Dechun were the same
Xu Wang, in particular, looked very different from the housewife she was at home
In the past, at home, most of the time, she was dressed in fat, big, grayish industrial and agricultural blue, and in the summer, she would see a little bit of color on her body
Most of the clothes had patches on them
All day labor, wind, water and sun, obviously only ten years old, but like forty
Now that he had opened a clothing store, the first one to become fashionable was Xu Wang, who was even more fashionable than Sang Xiaoqing, who was a few years younger
Most of the time, Xu Wang had to be the model herself to try on the clothes in the store and show them to others
She rented two rooms along the street, opened them up, and decorated them according to Xu Man’s design
Although the decoration was obviously very simple, the whole tone went up
Need to show the clothes ironed with a good hang on the wall with white paint, light a hit, especially foreign style
At first, Xu Wang is still poor people style, can not afford to turn on the light all the time to illuminate the clothes
Later Xu asked her to calculate an account, she just bit the bullet and light up the lamp
Do not say, so, originally sold ten dollars of clothes can be sold to twenty dollars, and also many people buy
The profit was high
Compared to Xu Wang’s hard-earned money, it was a little easier for her clothing store to make money
Xie Dechun is responsible for giving her a hand, into the goods unloading
The couple is especially happy to count their daily income
The money they earn in a month now is more than what they used to earn in Wei Zhuang Commune in a year
Xu Wang also brought two dresses to Xu Man, “I went to Yangcheng specially picked for you, turn around and try to fit? If they don’t fit, I’ll change them for you”
Xu Man unfolded the clothes and looked at them, they were very innovative and in her style, she thanked them, “I’ll accept them without ceremony then!”
Xu Wang rolled her eyes, “You’re getting more and more distant from me now that you’re married!”
The speaker didn’t mean it, but the listener did
Xu Wen’s heart trembled
However, Xu Wang was only pouting, not really complaining, the family exchanged a few pleasantries and dispersed
All have to go back to open the store for business
Zhu Meizhen and Xu Qiushi packed their bags and followed Xu Man to Rainbow Island
Lu Yuanzheng has already arranged for someone to pack up two of the wooden huts where the female students used to live for their family
Zhu Meizhen, Xu Qiusi and Xu Che
Xu Qiu Shi circled around the wooden house, especially satisfied, stood in front of the wooden house and began to gesture, “Here around a yard will be able to grow vegetables and fruits”
“Don’t be in a hurry! Take a good rest! Tomorrow I’ll take you to see the land you’ve been longing for Your son-in-law has already made all the arrangements!” Xu Man pushed him through the door
Lu Yuanzheng was indeed very considerate, even the farming tools were well prepared for Xu Qiushi
Xu Qiushi touched each and every one of them, his face full of satisfaction, but his mouth said, “It’s still not as strong as the sickle handle I made myself”
Zhu Meizhen rolled her eyes and pulled Xu Man out, “Don’t mind your father! The corners of his mouth are all the way up to his ears, and he’s still disgruntled Come on, let’s go see my granddaughter! I haven’t seen her in almost a month, and I miss her”
With Zhu Meizhen’s help, Xu Man was finally able to free up time to make money
Xu Man is still not willing to go out on a limb, and doesn’t want to earn a little bit of hard money like Xu Wang and Xu Wen
She prefers to be an investor
Unfortunately, she has no money, can only continue to grips the first door to find voluntary investment in the wool of the sheep
This unlucky sheep was Luo Zemin
Luo Zemin’s side of the production line wasn’t too busy, and most of the people employed were sister-in-laws
Every weekend or week break, many warriors would also come over
One was to earn some pocket money to subsidize the family, and the other was to pass the time
All the sisters-in-law combined were less than two hundred, and at least half of them didn’t go to work in the factory
Like Song Baoying they want to be teachers
Sister-in-law Li runs a kiosk
There were also some sisters-in-law whose children were particularly young, so there was no way they could spare their hands to work
To Xu Man’s relief, the second uncle’s business was not much affected
Because the sisters-in-law who made money would still prioritize doing handicrafts and whatnot, while the unprofitable sisters-in-law would only go to work
Plus, the center of gravity of the second uncle’s grocery store has slowly changed in other directions
Uncle Two would go to neighboring provinces and cities and buy some local specialties to sell
Most of the people who came to Pengcheng were Hong Kong businessmen and businessmen from other countries, and when they went back, they would always bring some souvenirs to their friends and relatives, so Uncle Two’s store was very suitable
Now the first big problem on Xu Man’s schedule was that he had to solve the problem of the islanders
People needed to be recruited to the island
This problem is relatively easy to solve
It is the season for veterans to leave the army, so first of all, a group of people can be left behind
You can also recruit a number of people from your hometown
Xu Man last year free tutoring female students, a total of fifty female students, the examination into the undergraduate ten, specialized in fifteen, twenty-two secondary school, only eight people failed
The reporter who published Xu Man’s article last year did a follow-up report, and Xu Man was on fire again
The letters sent to Rainbow Island every day were packed in sacks
It was just that she never accepted a single student again
If necessary, she can continue to hold classes
The second problem was to make sure that the problem of feeding the islanders could be solved About still had to need to attract investment
Xu asked to look around, not good to find a second boss, thought for half a day intends to be the boss
She has seen the printer factory’s account, this year the factory’s benefit is very good
Whether it is the production of printers, or selling print products
Stereoscopic printers and ordinary printers sales can be considered
Xu Man estimated that she would be able to get more dividends than last year
She also had some money left in her hand and planned to start her own company, but she hadn’t thought about what company to start yet
Before opening a company, she had to negotiate with Shi Lei and Lu Yuanzheng about the details of cooperation as a recruited businessman
As soon as Lu Yuanzheng heard this, he said he wanted to avoid suspicion and left
He had been very busy lately, busy preparing for his departure
Ever since he picked up the Yangtze River ship, he hadn’t spent much time on the island
Not only him, but also then officers and soldiers, basically from the moment they opened their eyes, they ran towards the Yangtze River ship
In Lu Yuanzheng’s words, they needed to break in with the Yangtze River ship
All kinds of training day after day
The remaining Shi Lei and a few other cadres glanced at each other
Shi Lei directly surrendered, ”Sister-in-law, we are all big old men, no one knows how to do business We’ll just do whatever you say!”
“That won’t do! One size fits all Besides, aren’t you afraid that I’ll screw you over?”
“I’ll do as I please!” Shi Lei spread his hands in a particularly bald manner, “We had nothing on the island in the first place, and the financial income we have now is also earned by you If you want to pit us, we will help you count the money and also send you home”
It really wasn’t a matter of public or private
Their hands could hold more than ten pounds of weapons, but they had a hard time pinching thin, tiny pens
Shi Lei, on the contrary, was educated, and being educated and being able to read a ledger were not equal numbers
Xu asked, “”
Xu Man still insisted on separating public and private affairs
Shi Lei had no choice but to borrow a few people from the financial office of the command to come and talk to Xu Man about the details of the contract
After discussing the details, Xu Man began to prepare for the opening of the new company
There was no need to think about the address of the company, the main thing was what the new company was going to do
Do you want to make clothes? Or get real estate? Or do something else
Open a clothing factory is not a big investment, Xu Man of course will not worry about the design problem
Just to come to the clothing factory to work for sure or women more
Luo Zemin’s factory had already used many of his sisters-in-law to make parts
We can’t have a total labor force like this, and two companies have to grab it
Doing real estate, the future is promising, but now it is difficult
There are too many aspects involved
Now there is a lot of land on the island that can be developed
The question is who to develop and sell it to?
Until it is time to go north to take the final exams, Xu Man has not been able to figure out what company to open
Xu Man left first
Dongsheng and Xu Che haven’t had their final exams yet, so they’ll have to finish their exams before leaving
By then, Xu Qiushi will bring them to join the Xu family and go home together for the New Year
As for Lu Yuanzheng, he will leave tomorrow, his return date is uncertain, where he will go cannot be said
When the Xu family arrived home, it was already about to be the New Year
The family had not lived in the house for a long time, and really needed to be cleaned up
Xu Qiushi was responsible for heating the boiler for Xu Wen, making sure that the two of them would not freeze
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Xu family only had one bed, they would have let Xu Man spend New Year’s Eve at home
The Xu family’s return naturally became the center of attention in the production team again
There was an endless stream of men, women, and children who came to visit their home to find out what was going on
This time, there was no need to show off their wealth, but the Xu family could see the difference
Xu Wang do clothing, the family is not short of new clothes, all dressed up brightly
Sang Xiaoqing is fine, everyone has already seen it last year
But Zhu Meizhen has again distanced herself from those middle-aged and elderly women in the team
The face is much better, and the people are foreign
A go out and come back to change for the better, may be swollen face, a family go out and come back, each top of the change so big, can only show that outside really good
Xu Wang in-laws in the production brigade is also caused quite a stir
Her bottom was originally good, now a pounding, can be seen completely with Xu Man is a mother and sibling, very beautiful
People from both production brigades came to the door to inquire about Pengcheng, thinking of going to work with them
Last year, there were a few active heart to find the Xu family, were blocked back
This year, Xu said she could take them out to work, but she had to agree to a few demands
Everyone agreed, saying that as long as she could take them out to work and make money, they would agree to anything she said
Xu said, “I can take you out to work, but there is no guarantee that you will make money!”
Someone objected on the spot, “We go out to work to make money, what are we going out for if we don’t make money?”
“Exactly”
“Right, we are going out to make money, not making money won’t work!”
