“There’s a lot of meat here; it’s definitely not just something I’m giving you,” Chen Jianguo said coldly.

"I didn't steal or rob! I just flattered the director a bit. He gritted his teeth and gave it to me, even though he was eating less himself. How kind of him!"

"Let our family eat more; it's all in the stomach, no matter who eats it."

"Let's help him digest it."

Chen Yifei's thick skin was sometimes innate.

As he spoke, he handed the mutton to He Runqing.

As soon as He Runqing took him, Chen Yifei scooped him up in his arms and lifted him into the air.

"There are so many people watching."

He Runqing blushed and nestled obediently in Chen Yifei's arms.

With her small hands clenched into fists and her head lowered, Wang Mei leaned closer and said, "That's great, Comrade Chen Yifei!"

"They completely controlled Qingqing."

"My wife has some difficulty walking, so I was thinking of letting her rest for a couple of days. She won't be coming tomorrow; I'm asking for leave."

Wang Mei nodded: "Okay, I'll help her ask for leave. I also need to ask for leave tomorrow to go to the county town to mail a letter to my mother."

Okay.

He Runqing nodded.

Afterwards, Chen Yifei took He Runqing home. Once home, Chen Yifei took the initiative to prepare the broth. He knew how to make mutton soup, as cooking soup is a skill.

Let everyone else go and rest, he'll do something big!

Wait until the soup is cooked, then slice the mutton into thin slices. After that, prepare a firewood fire for stewing, and slowly you can enjoy the fragrant hot pot meat.

At the same time, they also picked a lot of wild vegetables from the mountain, including wild pomegranate leaves, the tenderest mint growing in the corner of the house, and some pea shoots. Now they have all been washed and placed on the table in the small courtyard outside, and the whole family is sitting neatly waiting.

At this moment, Chen Shuang leaned over and said to He Runqing, "Qingqing, the clothes are finished..."

"They were all made according to the styles you gave me. I made about four pieces, including tops and pants. Take a look and see what you think."

Chen Shuang was a little nervous, and He Runqing nodded: "Okay, okay."

Chen Shuang took it out somewhat embarrassedly, as the style wasn't clearly visible from this position.

He Runqing smiled and said, "Then I'll wear it out and show you how it looks?"

"Sister Xue, come along too!"

Chen Xue nodded and pulled He Runqing into the house: "Come on, let's dazzle everyone else with our sisterly love!"

Zhang Cuizhi pulled Chen Shuang down to sit: "Quickly, you're now... a tailor. These two are your customers!"

Chen Yifei sat to the side cooking, smiling as he said, "My sister is a designer, she's very fashionable, the kind you only find in big cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai."

"And Qingqing and my second sister are her models. Haha!"

He was quite happy. As long as he saw his older sister having some other hope and not being so fixated on that family, he felt very, very good!

As long as people have hope, they can keep going and keep doing what they love.

Chen Shuang was a little nervous and worried that she might not do it right.

But seeing Chen Xue and He Runqing change into one outfit after another, everyone said they looked good.

Chen Shuang also gained confidence.

"How's my stitching and how are the loose threads from making clothes?"

He Runqing gave a thumbs up: "That's amazing!"

“Okay, my wife agrees. Tomorrow I’m thinking of taking these clothes to the county town square to sell. My sister and I will make pancakes. Qingqing will have a day off tomorrow, and I’ll go to the street with her. She’s pretty and well-dressed, so she can sell clothes there.”

"He's a typical clothes hanger."

Chen Shuang clenched her fists nervously and said excitedly, "Then I, then I'll... continue."

"Runqing, all your clothes are so beautiful. I haven't seen anyone else wearing them around here."

"But it turns out really well, I'm sure you'll love it. We can even sell it for a higher price."

Chen Shuang was overjoyed: "I was pregnant and thought I would just stay at home and rest, but I never expected that I could do needlework. It's not tiring at all."

Once you find your own value and direction, your eyes will shine with light.

Chen Yifei was planning something big.

Let them work on the smaller things first, and then we can set up a garment factory later.

These days, it's not an era where you can focus on one thing at a time. You have to do whatever you can to make a profit as soon as possible.

Chen Yifei made his fortune in his previous life by doing all sorts of things; he even worked in a coal yard carrying coal and digging coal inside.

It collapsed; I almost died inside.

They secretly saved them up to resell.

Everyone has come from the hardest times. It is precisely because we have tried everything that we can grasp the most important parts of our lives.

We need to start paving the way now, not for short-term profits, but to make everything we do bigger and stronger.

After finishing the meal, Chen Shuang took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Now that she has an idea, she is more motivated to do housework.

Chen Jianguo and Zhang Cuizhi exchanged a glance, and looked at each other with satisfaction in their eyes.

It feels like the children have all grown up. Although the two of them aren't that old, they can still do farm work.

But seeing the child like this, I actually felt a sense of maternal love and filial piety, and the whole family was happy and harmonious, as if we had gained the whole world.

Chen Shuang was initially worried about being gossiped about, but after being brought back by her younger brother and sister-in-law, it wasn't as scary as she had imagined.

At least no one will say it to her face.

It seems like we can get through everything.

That's just how it is; the world is incredibly forgiving of mistakes. No one is obligated to die just because they can't accomplish something.

It seems that, no matter what, no matter how rotten it is.

Ultimately, the sun will rise as usual the next morning, and you can start afresh again.

There are opportunities every day.

This is Chen Yifei's most genuine feeling.

Therefore, he cherishes time even more in this life.

Shortly after, agricultural technician Zhu Cankui ran over and stood at the door, which was not closed.

Chen Yifei, who was sitting with his wife in the courtyard, said, "Comrade Xiao Zhu!"

"Is there any progress on the mushroom cultivation project?"

"Yes." Zhu Cankui was also happy. This was the first project he had done here, and the first time he had met someone with such courage.

I used to think that He Runqing was a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, but now I just think, how wonderful!

He Runqing's judgment is indeed remarkable.

"Well, my application materials have been approved. However, it seems they're quite satisfied with you, but I don't know why." Comrade Xiao Zhu just wondered, why would they be satisfied with Chen Yifei?

They probably don't know this person at all!

So ultimately, it should be about cultivating this mushroom well.

"Now that you've agreed, it's time to proceed. Yongquan Village will be the pilot site, and two agricultural technicians will come down to work with me. I already spoke with Wang Hu and the others around you about this, to teach them the necessary knowledge first."

"But the problem now is money. The commune can't come up with the funds, so you, as a private individual, will probably have to cover the shortfall."

To put it bluntly, it's about getting something for nothing; they can provide technical support or help with the process.

However, they won't pay.
