After breakfast at Uncle Zheng's house, Zheng Yongjun returned around 8:00 a.m. and settled the bill for 3,535 yuan in cash and a stack of bills.

"Thank you, brother, for helping me solve this big problem!"

"Brother, we are all family, so let's not talk behind each other's backs. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. I have some influence in our production team. As long as it's not a mistake and I can do it, it's not a problem."

Zheng Yongjun was so moved that tears filled his eyes. This brother is so nice.

After saying goodbye to Grandpa Zheng and the other two, the trio took the bus towards the food factory.

The same routine as yesterday afternoon, more than 2,000 kilograms of grain, eggs, etc. were sold.

At around 10 o'clock, the three of them finished their work, went to the department store to buy some things, and then returned home.

After getting off the bus, I rushed into the department store and did a quick shopping spree.

This time I have money and tickets. My family needs everything. What are you waiting for? Buy it!

Each family got a new set of clothes, including the fifth grandfather and the left-behind children.

They bought Fifth Grandpa a tweed jacket and solid black pants. The dark gray coat was particularly attractive, and Professor Dong immediately fell in love with it. He would surely look stunning in it. Ever since they arrived at Fifth Grandpa's house after the family split up the day before yesterday, the trio decided that from now on, Fifth Grandpa would be their family member, and they would provide for him in his old age.

A new pair of shoes for each family.

30 kilograms of cotton, please.

Buy cotton cloth to make quilts and mattresses.

Buy some beautiful floral cloth to use as a wall.

Buy sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases and pillowcases.

Delicious snacks, two pounds each.

Buy some White Rabbit milk for the left-behind children, two pounds.

Give Uncle Wu a few cans of powdered milk and malted milk.

The industrial ticket is about to expire, wash basin, buy it.

There were also soap coupons that were about to expire, and I used them all.

I didn't buy other big items here, one reason being that I couldn't carry them, and the other reason being that we had just separated, and buying too many things would be too conspicuous if I brought them back to the village.

After buying everything, he carried the items on his back and in his hands out of the department store, returned to the inn and drove back to the village.

Uncle Qi was quite surprised to see them carrying so many things, including a large bag of cotton. These three were really capable! They stayed overnight in the county and brought back so many things, all new, unlike the old ones they brought back from the car yesterday. Where did they get them?

Uncle Qi was thinking as he drove back.

The trio were counting money again! Professor Dong was counting the remaining tickets, while the other two were counting the money. They were probably relying on Uncle Qi not being able to hear, otherwise the trio wouldn't dare to act so wildly.

After buying the things, I still had 4,755 yuan and some tickets left.

This trip, we developed several reliable sales channels, which was risky enough. It was right not to go to the black market. If a large amount of food, vegetables and fruits appeared on the market at this time, it would definitely attract some people's attention, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

Without the ability to protect myself, I can only develop in a sneaky way. Let's leave it at that for now.

I brought three eggs and four big hot meat buns to Uncle Qi, and he happily ate them while driving the cart. It was tiring to drive the cart back and forth, so I gave him something good to eat.

At around 4 p.m., they arrived at Dongfeng Commune in the township. Guan's father took out the division agreement and got out of the car to get it stamped by the commune.

It should have been a simple matter to explain the situation clearly, get the signature of the head of the government office, and then stamp it. However, after waiting for an hour and seeing no sign of Guan's father, the mother and daughter grew restless on the oxcart and got off to see what was going on. As they were about to step inside, they saw Guan's father being escorted out by a middle-aged man in a Mao suit and a military coat, who shook his hand warmly.

As we boarded the bus and headed toward the village, Guan's father revealed that the man was Xu Weizhou, the secretary of Dongfeng Commune. Hearing Guan's father's unusual conversation, he inquired about the reasons for the family split and then about the situation within their production team. Guan's father summarized the team's current situation and offered some personal opinions and suggestions, which led Secretary Xu to engage him in a conversation. The conversation has been going on for a while now, and it continues to this day.

Very good, very good. Dad Guan successfully attracted the attention of the commune secretary.
