Hysterical is a breakdown, delicious is delicious.

During the entire Chinese New Year period, Song Youyou was either eating delicious food or on the way to eat delicious food, and her belly became rounder.

Probably because of the punishment, Qiao Shan no longer came to hang around her. Even Zhang Guizhi, who was always hanging around, stayed at home quietly.

Song Youyou had a comfortable year.

Lu Liangchen rushed back to Beijing on the third day of the New Year, and early in the morning on the fifth day of the New Year, Gu Xiao went to the army for a meeting.

Song Youyou finally decided to go out.

She went to the kitchen to pack some freshly made jelly, some previously dried bacon, and some recently laid eggs from chickens and ducks, and went to her neighbor's house.

Years ago, Zhao Lijuan sent a lot of things to her family, but because a lot of things happened at that time, she has not yet reciprocated. Today, I have time and it is a good opportunity to send them over.

While walking on the road, I saw from afar a lot of people sitting in front of Zhao Lijuan's door, eating melon seeds and talking excitedly.

As soon as Song Youyou approached, Zhao Lijuan noticed her with her sharp eyes and quickly stood up to welcome her into the house.

"Hey, my dear sister, you just came to visit, why did you bring so many things..."

Although she said that, Zhao Lijuan was extremely happy in her heart.

It’s not that she covets these things, but she thinks this is a sign of a good relationship and that Song Youyou is willing to interact with her.

She was greeting Song Youyou, while the aunts at the other end of the door were still speaking passionately.

"Bullshit!"

"Isn't this like killing the donkey after it has done its work?"

"What's going on..."

Hearing some new words from time to time aroused Song Youyou's curiosity.

"Sister-in-law Lijuan, what happened to them?"

"Oh, don't mention it."

Zhao Lijuan had no intention of hiding anything. When Song Youyou asked, she told her everything.

It turned out to be about the food factory where Zhao Lijuan worked.

The food factory has not been performing well in recent years. This year, the cooperating farm was unable to supply raw materials, and the factory suffered serious losses. Therefore, the organization issued a notice to shut down their small factory.

"I understand. The factory is under a lot of pressure because it can't produce anything and still has to pay its employees on time every month. But we can't just shut it down, right?"

The food factory is only half an hour away from the family compound. Zhao Lijuan was very satisfied with her job, but she felt like the sky was falling when she heard the news.

"Yeah." Song Youyou nodded in response.

She didn't expect that small factories would be unable to operate from now on. In her impression, it would take a few years, after private enterprises were allowed, for state-owned enterprises to begin to be abolished and restructured.

But she could also understand, from Zhao Lijuan's words, that there was still a large food factory in the county, and abolishing this small factory would not actually affect the surrounding food production and supply under the planned economy.

The ones affected are the employees, especially this small food factory which is close to the family compound. Many of the military wives in the family compound are employees there. They are used to having a stable job and cannot accept this fact all of a sudden.

"We've already made plans. Let's go to the factory director's house and ask for an explanation."

As soon as Zhao Lijuan finished speaking, the crowd outside shouted angrily for her to set off.

"Sister, please sit down for a while and treat it like your own home. I'm going to be out for a while."

Zhao Lijuan took off the key to her house and put it in Song Youyou's hand, then hurried away with the crowd.

Song Youyou: “…”

Song Youyou had no choice but to lock the door for her, and then went home to continue gaining weight...

The house was clean and comfortable, with no housework to do; there were few translation tasks and they had been completed long ago; the part-time job at the military hospital was not called up, so Song Youyou had no choice but to lie on the sofa and read a book.

A comfortable life is comfortable, but it also makes it easy to gain weight.

In the afternoon, Zhao Lijuan came back.

Go out with high morale and come back dejected.

"The factory manager said this was an organizational adjustment. There's nothing we can do about it. Without funding from above, the factory has no choice but to disband."

Although the factory manager guaranteed that all employees would receive financial compensation, she loved this job more.

The money was small and the business was close to home, so she really couldn't bear to part with it!

Song Youyou comforted her, and when Zhao Lijuan calmed down, she asked tentatively:

"Sister-in-law Lijuan, since the factory closed down because the higher-ups didn't allocate funds, why don't you try to be self-sufficient and apply to run the factory yourself?"

Being responsible for one's own profits and losses is the general trend in the future.

"...Huh?" Zhao Lijuan looked up in surprise. "Fundamental to your own profits and losses, apply for the business yourself..."

"Yeah. Didn't you say that military wives don't want to leave? Then why don't you apply to the higher authorities and try? If approved, you can still go to work, work, and get paid just like before. The difference is that if the output is poor, you may not get paid, but if the output is good, your salary can be much higher."

This suggestion was made by Song Youyou based on the business model of the following years.

Now we have a planned economy, enterprises are state-owned, and ordinary people are not allowed to buy and sell privately. If Zhao Lijuan and her colleagues' application is approved, it would be equivalent to these military wives processing things and selling them themselves, and how much they earn depends on themselves.

Zhao Lijuan felt as if some of the frameworks in her mind suddenly collapsed, and some advanced ideas suddenly entered her mind.

Zhao Lijuan: Why does it feel like it makes some sense?

Not sure, listen again.

"If you do this, your sunk cost is nothing more than physical labor. If you don't make money, it's like working without getting paid. If you do make money, you'll split it equally. Let me ask you, do you have any trouble selling the food your factory processes?"

Zhao Lijuan nodded in confusion, "Of course, we're short of food and clothing right now, and we can't even find food to eat."

"That means, as long as you can process the food, you'll get paid."

"But the problem is... the farm our factory partners with..."

"The cooperative farms can't supply food, right? Just like before the New Year."

Zhao Lijuan nodded, "Yes."

Song Youyou patiently coaxed, "Didn't we also solve some of the production raw materials before that year?"

Zhao Lijuan slowly raised her head, "You mean..."

"Yes." Song Youyou nodded. "We can work together on the grain issue. We can also continue to go to the countryside to purchase grain. After all, if we can process and sell it, we can all make money."

Zhao Lijuan clearly remembered that Song Youyou met a capable person while purchasing. Her eyes lit up, "So, sister, are you willing to help me?"

Song Youyou nodded seriously.

It won’t be long before a new crop of vegetables will arrive. Moreover, the chickens and ducks raised in the space are slowly growing up. In a few months, the pigs inside will also be able to produce. Without the food factory, who can quickly digest these materials and turn them into money!

Of course, women love money but they get it in a proper way.

In addition to being beneficial to her own shipments, her suggestion is indeed an excellent proposal for them.

Processing and selling by yourself is equivalent to doing private business under the name of a state-owned enterprise, which can be said to be a sure profit.

In other words, because of their special identities, as military families, and because they are connected with the army, she dared to make this proposal. If it were an ordinary person, it would not work.

Song Youyou broke down the principles one by one and told them to Zhao Lijuan.

The pancakes in the painting are almost stacked into a thousand layers of sauce-flavored cake.

Zhao Lijuan's expression gradually changed from ignorance to determination.

"Sister, you're absolutely right. I'll go talk to them right away!"

Zhao Lijuan rushed out in a hurry.

Song Youyou shouted in the back but couldn't get over it, "Hey, the key...Sister-in-law Lijuan, you haven't got the key to your house yet..."
