Yu Xiaoan was not the only one who was worried about Zhang Chahua's condition. When everyone heard Yu Xiangan's retelling, they immediately offered various suggestions to help.

Yu Changcun's mood was very complicated. His eldest brother had passed away, and he was the only one left among his brothers and sisters. If he could find the two of them, it would be just like what his eldest brother had said, it would not matter whether they were good or bad, as long as he could know their whereabouts.

If they are doing well, he won't take any credit for it, but if they are not doing well, they can help out now.

In the past, he had to ask around, and the people he knew were all around this area. If he went to other places, it would be too far to reach them. Now, Yu Xiangan mentioned placing an ad in the newspaper, and he thought it was a good idea.

Why hadn't he thought of it before?

With so many people reading newspapers, someone is bound to notice it.

Even if they themselves cannot see it, it is possible that someone else can see it and remind them. He and Zhang Chahua gathered together to recall what impressed them most about their third brother and youngest sister.

The younger sister was okay. She was not even ten years old when she was adopted as a child bride. She didn’t have a deep impression of her family. If she went to another place, she might forget it. But as for the third brother, he didn’t have any expectations.

He was already so old at that time, in his teens, and old enough to get married, how could he not know where his home was?

Later, they changed the name of their village to the Red Star Brigade, but nothing else changed. If he came back, he would find out that he and his elder brother were also here.

I wonder what happened to him?

Suddenly, the person disappeared and could not be found no matter how hard we looked.

Perhaps because she was worried about something, the expression on Zhang Chahua's face became much more lively. She began to pay attention to these children who she had ignored before, and loved them all very much, especially Yu Xiangyan's three children. She took care of them during the years they were in college, and they had a deep relationship.

Yu Xiyi also had the deepest impression of this great-grandmother and acted very intimately with her. Grandpa was gone, but the great-grandmother was still alive. Her previous condition had made her very worried. She would soon be going back to the capital with her parents. While here, no matter where Zhang Chahua went, she would follow her.

After the funeral, the families will be separated again one after another.

Yu Xiangyan wanted to go back, and Zhang Chahua also urged him to go back. He was on official business, so he should go back quickly after finishing the funeral. The journey was long, so he should not delay things.

Yu Manwu had a chat with Yu Xiangan before returning to Shanghai.

Yu Xiangan and Yu Manwu haven't seen each other for a few years. He went to Shanghai to study and would only come back during the Chinese New Year. Yu Xiangan was only back for the first time.

The two people have different schedules.

Yu Manyu has graduated now, and after graduation he was assigned to teach in a technical secondary school. The benefits are decent, but the thing that is not going well is the relationship between him and Ruan Chenxi.

The two of them were still confused. Yu Manwu smiled bitterly, "I don't understand why. We've all graduated and started working. We're not young anymore. If she fell in love with someone else, I'd quit. But she doesn't fall in love with anyone else either. What is she thinking?"

Yu Xiangan: "What do you think she is thinking?"

Yu Manwu shook his head: "I don't know, I really don't know. You and her have been friends for a while, so I want to ask you, what do you think she is doing?"

Yu Xiangan and Yu Manwu saw fatigue on their faces, which made people sigh: "I don't know what she thinks, but do you know what you think? Is this the life you want? You have been entangled for so long. Generally speaking, it is time for you to get married and have children at this age. If the man is willing and the woman is interested, the next thing will be natural."

Yu Manwu was stunned: "Yes, if the man has feelings and I am willing..." The problem now is that the man has feelings, but I am not willing...

He smiled bitterly.

There are many things I wanted to say, but now it seems unnecessary to say them.

If Ruan Chenxi was interested in me, why would she delay for so long?

There was no explicit rejection because of some concerns. She didn't actually like him. After realizing this, Yu Manwu became disheartened.

When he was admitted to the university, he really thought that he had passed and they would finally be together. He came to her house and said, "I like you." You should know from her response, "I don't have anything else to say. Thank you, Sister Xiao An. I have thought it through. Let's go back to Shanghai and end it. It's been so long, and I'm tired."

Yu Xiangan patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Just figure it out yourself."

Yu Manwu: "When will you return to the capital?"

Yu Xiangan: "Not so fast yet, I plan to go to the Special Administrative Region to take a look."

Yu Manwu: "Alone? Where's the child? Where's my brother-in-law?"

Yu Xiangan: "After he finishes his visit, take the children back to the capital. Go, they all have things to do."

Yu Manwu frowned: "Then when you went to the Special Zone and returned to the capital, didn't you take the train back alone?"

Yu Xiangan laughed: "I'm not a child anymore. You're still worried about me getting into trouble while taking the train, and I might stay in the Special Administrative Region for a while." If she really encountered any accident, she still had space and could protect herself.

Yu Manwu: "Then don't you and your children have to be separated for a while?"

Yu Xiangan: "Yes, we'll be apart for a while. Now we have a phone. We installed one. When we miss them, we can call them."

There is no way to separate for a period of time.

Yu Xiangan could only sigh when he thought about it.

Who asked that the capital is still strict about this aspect, so she can only come here.

Lin Chuanbai couldn't get away, and her two children also had to go to school, so she had to go south alone.

Yu Manwu admired her: "Your vacation is so long?"

They didn't know yet that Yu Xiangan had resigned.

Yu Xiangan: "I went there for official business this time, so it's considered a business trip."

Well, give her a business trip of her own.

Yu Manwu returned to Shanghai, and the others did not leave for the time being. Yu Qingshan also took a leave of absence to stay here and spend more time with Zhang Chahua.

He is very dedicated to his work, and because of this, he has saved a lot of vacation time that he has not used, and now it comes in handy.

Lin Chuanbai was not idle after returning to the county town. They went to see the houses in the county town. Although no one lived there, they did not look shabby. Yu Qingshan often came here to take a look, clean up and do some maintenance, so it looked very new.

It can be seen that Yu Qingshan takes good care of himself.

Yu Xiangan and Lin Chuanbai cleaned the place again, and the twins were very curious.

They lived here when they were still young and could not remember.

Lin Chuanbai also went to Lin Jiqing's place. This is his second uncle's home. It was far away before, so he didn't mention it. Now that he has come back for a rare visit, it would be wrong not to show up.

Now Xu Haili's attitude towards Lian Chuanbai and others has changed drastically, and he generously takes out any good things he has to entertain them.

Lin Chuanqiong and Lin Nanxing, the brother and sister, were also very enthusiastic. They both got married over the years and are both from the county town. They also have jobs, but they don't have much money for housing.

Especially after having children.

Lin Chuanqiong was okay, as this two-story house was more than enough for his family to live in. But Lin Nanxing was not so lucky, as his whole family was squeezed into a small dormitory.

It’s easy when the child is young, but it becomes inconvenient when he grows up.

They don’t want to take advantage of Lin Chuanbai and the others now, as it is too far away. They are eyeing the house next door.

There are two two-story buildings in the same yard. Their family lives in one side, and Lin Houpu lives in the other side, which is still empty.

When it comes to the house, Lin Chuanbai doesn't respond at all. If asked actively, he will say that he has already divided the family and it is not his turn to make the decision on the matter. No matter how the other party appeals to his emotions or reasons, he will not give in.

This house belongs to Lin Houpu, and will belong to his elder brother Lin Guangbai in the future.

He has already divided it out and built another house, so he has no right to dispose of it.

Moreover, Lin Chuanbai couldn’t understand why there was no room for him to stay.

There are two floors here, and Lin Chuanqiong is the only son. He now has a child, so the room is big enough for Lin Nanxing to move in. If he agrees to let Lin Nanxing and his family move in, and Lin Guangbai and the others don't come back, the room might end up belonging to Lin Nanxing. This loophole cannot be opened.

If Lin Chuanbai didn't confess, Xu Haili really wouldn't dare to pry open the lock and let Lin Nanxing and his family move in.

She knew how difficult it was to deal with her uncle, and if he got angry, she didn't know what the consequences would be.

This was definitely a consequence she didn't want to bear.

Yu Xiangan also went to Qin's house to stay with his grandparents for a few days, and then Lin Chuanbai took the twins back to the capital.

Yu Mansheng was waiting for Yu Xiangan to set off together.

Yu Qingshan was preparing to put an advertisement in the newspaper, which would be distributed in Baishi County, the city, and the province. Yu Mansheng was in charge of following up in the Special Administrative Region, and Yu Xiangan and Yu Xiangyan were in charge in the capital. Yu Xiangan asked Lin Chuanbai to keep an eye on it after he returned.

Yu Mansheng could have returned to the Special Administrative Region earlier, but knowing that Yu Xiangan was going on a business trip there, he deliberately postponed his departure for two days.

Although he knew that his cousin was capable, he was still worried because things on the train could be really chaotic sometimes. He had heard before that an entire compartment had its purses cut by pickpockets while they were sleeping late at night, and all their money was gone. Another time, a group of kidnappers got on the train and children were lost in most compartments, which caused a sensation in the local area, but less than half of the children were eventually found.

He couldn't help Sister Xiao An since she was on a business trip, so he could only be careful on the road.

It is indeed not far from here to the Special Administrative Region, and it only takes a few hours to get there. Now many places here still have low houses, but in sharp contrast to the low houses are the thriving buildings. These buildings are novel in style, beautiful in appearance, and of course, the prices are also considerable.

There are quite a few hotels here, and Yu Xiangan picked a similar one that is also close to where Yu Mansheng and the others are staying.

There are many buildings under construction here. No wonder Yu Mansheng and his previous construction team were able to get work very quickly. There is a real shortage of people at this time, and the entry threshold of this industry is low. It does not require skilled workers, but ordinary handymen. As long as you have some strength and are obedient, you can do the job. After deducting rent and food, you can save money every month, which is much better than farming in your hometown.

Yu Xiangan also discovered that Yu Mansheng and his family's accommodation conditions were really poor. They rented a large yard by themselves and everyone was crowded together. Because there were no women to clean up, the smell here was terrible.

Yu Mansheng was a little embarrassed. "Well, I'll help them clean up later. I guess sometimes we just make do when we're busy."

Yu Xiangan was both angry and amused: "It's a good thing you guys could bear it. What kind of poison gas attack is this? Oh, come out for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."

Yu Mansheng had no doubts.

"What are you discussing? You've been here for a few days and have been traveling around for a few days. Is this what you do on a business trip? Is it some kind of research?"

Yu Xiangan pulled him to a remote place and told him frankly: "Actually, I'm not here on a business trip."

Yu Mansheng was stunned: "Not on a business trip? Then what about your work?"

It's been so long since I left the job, the leaders above must have some opinions.

Thinking of this, he frowned: "You..."

Yu Xiangan nodded: "I resigned."

Yu Mansheng choked: "Cough cough cough!"

He was scared.

"You... ahem... resign?!"

Yu Xiangan waited for him to calm down, then continued, "I resigned before the New Year, and no one knows about it. Don't tell anyone yet."

Yu Mansheng quickly patted his chest to calm down: "You, you said you resigned before the New Year? Then what are you doing?"

Yu Xiangan said naturally: "I went into business. Now the policy is leaning towards the special zone, so I came here. The capital is not as open as here."

Yu Mansheng: “…”

He was speechless for a long time.

Sister Xiao An is really courageous.

He slowed down and said, "Sister Xiao An, what will you do next?"

"Next, I plan to buy land here. I'll need your help to build it and I'll pay you as usual."

She brought her passbook with her, but she didn't have enough money. Lin Chuanbai was taking care of her in the capital, and he was providing her with a steady stream of start-up capital.

The land here is a little off the beaten track, but it is still very cheap.

The money that Yu Xiangan could take out now was definitely not enough to buy a factory or equipment, but it was enough to buy other things.

"Don't tell your family about this for now, for fear of upsetting the elderly. It's enough for us to know this. Please keep it a secret for me. I'll write to you later to say I'm back home, and call you back to let you know I'm safe. You have to cooperate with me and say I'm back from my business trip. If they don't ask, don't tell them. If they do, just say I'm still on a business trip and have been ordered to stay here for a while."

Yu Mansheng: “…”

His heart is a little tired.

If this is not the case, is she hiding it from herself?

He actually hoped that she could keep it a secret from him as well.

"Sister Xiao An, does my brother-in-law know? Does Brother Yan know?"

"I know. Please keep it a secret for me first. They won't know about it if you don't let them know."

Yu Mansheng wiped his face. It seemed that everyone in the capital knew about it and they kept it a secret together. They didn't reveal it when they came back this time. If she didn't say anything, no one would think about it in this way.

Yu Mansheng also thought it was better to keep it a secret. He considered himself to be more trendy. If he were in Sister Xiao An's position, he might not be so decisive, let alone the elderly people in the family.

They have an extraordinary obsession with a stable job.

"Then keep it a secret for now, but Sister Xiao An, this matter cannot be kept secret forever."

Yu Xiangan: "I know, it depends on the timing." Yu Xiangan also had a headache about this.

"It's tiring to live with so many rules and regulations. I don't want to live like that for the rest of my life."

"I can't do that either. I'm still young and I don't have any family burdens, so I'll go out and try my luck. If I succeed, I'll return home in glory. If I fail, I'll go back to carrying bricks. I won't starve to death."

Yu Xiangan laughed, this was really just moving bricks.

After a few rounds of searching, Yu Xiangan bought two places. One was in a relatively central location, covering an area of ​​about 200 to 300 square meters, so that he would have no problem opening a restaurant there. The other was in the suburbs, where he was going to set up a factory. It was a suburb now, but with the speed of development here, it would soon no longer be a suburb.

Yu Mansheng helped her build the restaurant first, just the second floor would be enough.

He also felt a little warm-hearted when he saw it.

They are renting a place now, so would it be better to build a permanent one? Just like what Sister An said, development is changing with each passing day, and he can sell it when he doesn't need it anymore, so he won't lose money.

He kept this matter in mind and continued to watch his sister Xiao An's operations.

I watched her write a letter, rent a place to use as an office, and then apply to register a company.

The name of the company is Gomi.

Setting up a company in the capital is still relatively sensitive, but it is more common in the special administrative regions, and the procedures are also very fast.

But Yu Mansheng didn’t understand why he should set up a company?

He didn't ask, just pondered it in his mind.

Watching her sister Xiao An buy out her clothes, she asked him to introduce a local girl to be her assistant, and followed behind her to get in touch with other people.

Most of these office buildings are rented out, and the industries they work in are not uniform. If you're interested, you can find people who love to do that industry.

Then she got in touch with an agent in Hong Kong.

This agent mainly does business with people from Hong Kong and Taiwan. He was a little surprised that she came to him, but not too surprised. Wasn't she just trying to help him find some simple old equipment?

It's easy.

The equipment Yu Xiangan needed was not really rare. He could just find some old equipment discarded by a soy sauce factory or a canning factory.

He first collected a part of the deposit, then gave another part when the deal was done, and then gave the balance after the transaction was completed.

If things don't work out, he won't back down.

There is no way, the supply and demand are not equal now.

But even the old equipment that has been eliminated is not cheap, and the construction of the factory also costs money.

It’s not just a small amount of money.

Yu Xiangan: "Do you think there will be news about this old equipment so soon? It would be good if it can arrive in half a year."

"There's enough time to do it slowly." If that doesn't work, she could sell a few recipes she had figured out, and then she would have money.

Yu Manwu: "..."

He quickly helped her build the two-story restaurant.

Gu Nanfeng is here too.

He was not married and had no family. When he was told that he could come here for fifty thousand a month salary, plus bonuses, he came here immediately.

By the time the restaurant was simply decorated, everything else was almost ready.

To open a restaurant, besides completing all the formalities, a lot of preparation work needs to be done, including manpower, materials, etc.

She was busy here, and Lin Chuanbai was also busy over there.

He was busy to begin with, and now since the two stores are mainly engaged in soup base and marinade, he only needs to take care of these two things every day. However, the children's mother is not at home, and the two children always miss their mother and ask him, "Isn't mom coming back yet?"

Fortunately, the child was not used to it at first, but gradually stopped asking questions.

If they miss their mother, they call her.

We rented a venue there and were able to make phone calls.

Lin Chuanbai could only see directly how profitable these two stores were at the end of the month when settling accounts.

It is mainly wholesale of braised food.

Now they have become famous.

The amount of food that comes into their yard every day is not a small amount.

Lin Chuanbai felt that if time was given a little longer, he would be able to earn back the start-up capital with just these two stores.

There are many people who come to the Special Administrative Region to make a living, but at this time, most of those who come out are men.

Yu Xiangan posted the recruitment notice and soon recruited two people.

One of them is Sun Dongsheng, a male educated youth from another place. The place where he went to work in the countryside was not far from here. After returning to the city, he had no place of his own, so he borrowed money from others and came to the Special Administrative Region to make a living.

Graduated from junior high school, can write, calculate, and deal with people.

One is a young man named Zeng Wang who lives nearby and is familiar with the area and is in charge of purchasing.

Another one is the waitress Liu Erjie, who is in her thirties, clean and nimble. Together with the assistants beside Gu Nanfeng and Yu Xiangan, there are six people in total, which is enough to support this stall.

Gu Nanfeng had worked in the capital before and now he moved to another place and got the hang of it quickly.

Yu Xiangan and his assistant are in charge of the kitchen, Zeng Wang is responsible for the ingredients, and Sun Dongsheng is responsible for take-out.

Because this area is mostly worked by respectable people, Yu Xiang paid attention to the decoration style when doing the renovation, making it more respectable.

However, such decoration would make some people who are short of money embarrassed to step in.

Are you not going to cook for so many people?

Just like Yu Mansheng, the people on their construction site also need to eat. If it is mealtime and they don’t have to go out by themselves, someone will deliver the food to them, and it is affordable and tastes good, then that will definitely be the first choice.

Take-out food came into being.

There aren't so many gimmicks for opening a business at this time. When Yu Xiang'an opened the business, he offered a 20% discount and also held a lottery. As long as you spent at least 1 cent, you could enter the lottery.

You will win every time you draw.

The smallest prize is a drink, and the biggest prize is a bicycle!

The bicycle is placed right at the door, attracting everyone's attention.

Yu Mansheng couldn't help but stare at it for a long time, with a distressed look on his face: "Are we really going to give it away?"

Yu Xiangan: “Of course!”

If someone really wins the lottery, give it away. If you don’t give it away, there will be no topic to talk about and no one will be attracted to come.

The first day was packed with people for this bike.

Yu Xiangan had to ask Zeng Wang to replenish the stock.

She still underestimated the power of the bicycle at this time.

At noon, the bicycle was not won, but a kettle was won, which was not cheap. When the lady walked away with the kettle, there was an expression of disbelief on her face.

She spent just ten cents to buy one to make her grandson happy, but ended up getting a kettle worth more than ten yuan?

She went back and told ten people about it, and then a hundred people about it.

The bicycle is still at the door.

You can participate in the lucky draw three days before the opening, it depends on who has better luck!

The fame of this place spread quickly.

"Do you know there's a new restaurant called Wuwei that just opened on West Avenue? It's newly opened, and you can enter a lottery for every dime you spend. The grand prize is a new bicycle!"

"What did you win? I was unlucky and won a plate of chicken feet with sansho pepper."

"I was lucky and won a towel."

"Oh my, I'm lucky, I won a scarf for free!"

"I've always had good luck, so I'll go take a look..." One cent, who can't afford it?
