The purpose of this meeting is to convey the instructions from above. After the fight is over, we can't do anything else. Who has the time to care about other people's messy affairs?

The entire village worked together to make jam and canned fruit, a frenzy of activity. They only rested during the autumn harvest, but after that, they continued processing canned fruit and jam. They sent it to the gang leader, who demanded as much as he could. This kind of food was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

So the gangster sent people to the family quarters in the compound to sell more than two cans of these foods that could be sold at a high price. They were sold out in less than half an hour.

Opportunities come to those who are prepared. Chuncao, the daughter-in-law of the neighbor to the east of Old Guan's house, used to be very close to Dong Xiaomai. Xiaomai even argued with Old Guan over her association with Chuncao, and Old Guan forbade her from interacting with Chuncao, accusing her of being unfilial. Whenever he spoke to Chuncao for a few more words, he would be made to stand in the corner all night. Professor Dong thought to himself that Old Guan was truly peculiar.

Chuncao's parents' home is in Lijiawan on the other side of the mountain to the east. When Chuncao returned to her parents' home, she said something unintentionally, which was heard by her three brothers and sisters-in-law.

Early the next morning, several people went into the mountains to pick wild fruits. After picking enough, the men carried the loads and the women led their children, and they walked towards Guanjia Village together.

When they arrived at Guanjia Village, it was quiet. They had come too early. Chuncao led her brother and sister-in-law to the brigade headquarters and waited for the production team leader to come to work.

After waiting for a long time until Jiang Huashu came to work, Chuncao's elder brother Chunsheng hurried forward to explain the situation. He also said that there are much more wild fruits on their mountain than in Guanjia Village because of the long sunshine hours. So if these are qualified, can they be delivered every day? The quality is absolutely guaranteed to be the same.

Jiang Huashu's focus was on Brother Chuncao's mention of the abundance of wild fruits on the mountain. Then he noticed how skinny his wife and children, who had come with him, looked. Since he didn't have time for that, he appointed Brother Chuncao as the representative for the Lijiawan Wild Fruit Collection Office, sending villagers out to pick them every day. The standard for purchasing wild fruits was that only those with broken, blemishes, or broken skins would be rejected. Furthermore, pickers were required to be careful not to injure themselves while picking.

The purchase price was one cent for five pounds of wild fruit. Due to evaporation and transport losses, the price to Guanjia Village was one cent for three pounds. There was a relatively flat road on the mountainside that was suitable for transport, though it was a bit of a detour. Chunsheng decided to go back up the mountain to chop wood and make three carts, which the three brothers would use to push the wild fruit around every day. The fruit was seasonal, only available during the autumn harvest, so they had to hurry.

Jiang Huashu gave Chunsheng three bags of food and five yuan in change to buy wild fruits. Chunsheng was very grateful to the production team leader of Guanjia Village. The family had been out of food for a long time, and the brothers were so hungry that they were dizzy every day when they went to the production team to work. If it weren't for his sister Chuncao who always sent some food home, they would not have been able to hold on until now. It was unknown when the state relief food would be distributed. Several people in the village had starved to death. (The production team had to work during the day, and the villagers had no time to dig wild vegetables. They could only dig a little in the morning and evening. Wild vegetables were not resistant to hunger, and some elderly people died of starvation.)

Chunsheng's brothers Chunyang and Chunwang were free, so they used brooms to clean the entrance of the production team. Chunwang was the youngest, 18 years old this year, and he was very energetic after cleaning the entrance with a broom.

Jiang Huashu was talking to the village chief in the house about today's work in the fields, and his eyes looked outside from time to time. These three brothers were good and suitable to be henchmen.

Chunsheng didn't know it yet, but from that moment on, the three brothers' lives would be transformed. Many years later, Chunsheng, now general manager of Jiang's International Group's food headquarters, and his two younger brothers recalled this day with endless gratitude to Jiang Huashu. They channeled this gratitude into motivation, fulfilling every task Jiang Huashu assigned them, treating the company like their own home.
