With Shi Junbao by his side, Xiaohu felt much more relaxed. He also became more thorough in his work.

That's the advantage of having a good assistant.

Yin Cui called the Kyoto military unit to let them know she was coming to Kyoto. Local authorities would send someone to personally escort them to Kyoto.

Yan Minglu's injury should be almost healed.

Let Shi Junbao handle this. The accommodation is the same courtyard where Song Jun lives. That courtyard can comfortably accommodate three families.

As for Colonel Yin Cui's issue, the military has already contacted the local authorities, so Song Yan doesn't need to worry about it.

Yan Minglu can't do anything for the time being, so the army found his wife a temporary job as a gatekeeper and newspaper collector. She earns 18 yuan a month.

It's already a blessing for a rural woman to find this kind of work. Originally, Song Yan wanted to arrange for her to work in a food factory, because the performance-based pay there would be much higher than this.

As for where Yin Cui's mother ended up working, Song Yan would definitely respect their choice.

Shi Junbao is a very considerate person; he made all the arrangements for them perfectly.

Arrangements have been made for them, but Shi Junbao is still very serious. That shouldn't be the case.

Shi Junbao said he would wait for Xiaohu and didn't leave. However, it wasn't convenient for him to wait at Song Yan's place, so he went to find Di Jianjun.

As soon as Xiao Hu finished what he was doing, he rushed home. He still had to figure out how to tell his sister-in-law about this; he was so stupid. He shouldn't have made her worry, but this was a big deal, and he couldn't afford not to tell her.

Now, Xiaohu's wholesale business has begun to take shape. In addition to the goods his sister-in-law gives him, he also sources goods from nearby areas, especially the village where their roast duck workshop is located.

We sell him surplus grains and dried vegetables. Now that wild vegetables are available, he also buys some wild vegetables wholesale.

Although the wild vegetables he received weren't as good as the ones his sister-in-law gave him, they were still money, as his sister-in-law had said.

Song Yan told Xiao Hu that they needed to find suppliers from different places because she couldn't guarantee that her supply would always be so stable.

Xiao Hu: This is what my sister-in-law meant when she said that when doing business, you should always leave yourself a backup plan in case of unforeseen circumstances.

The wholesale business was going smoothly. This was because the general public was in favor of the matter, and they were also well-connected with the local police station.

Thanks to Jin Wu's connections, people took care of Xiao Hu's business, and no one bothered him.

Xiao Hu wasn't a stingy person. They wouldn't dare offer bribes, but they could make things easier for the local police. For example, they could reserve the scarce goods the police needed for them first.

Everyone has relatives and friends, and everyone wants certain sought-after items.

Just like fruit, which family wouldn't want to buy some during the Chinese New Year?

Second Sister-in-law prepared a lot of goods, but when distributed throughout such a large city as Kyoto, it's really not much. So many people can't buy them. But as long as the police station leaves a message, Xiao Hu will definitely save some for them.

With spring arriving, Song Yan prepared a variety of fresh wild vegetables.

Xiao Hu was a little puzzled. Where did these wild vegetables come from? The wild vegetables that the villagers gave him were nowhere near as good as the ones his second sister-in-law gave him. His second sister-in-law had also said that these wild vegetables were just an extra, and didn't cost much.

Xiao Hu will deliver these to these people. Who wouldn't want to eat some fresh, tender wild vegetables in spring!

Like bean sprouts and such. Sometimes Xiaohu leaves twenty kilograms at a time for the police station. One person definitely can't buy that much, but everyone can share it. Especially since sometimes you have relatives and friends with you. All in all, it's very cost-effective. It's a real bargain.

With spring approaching, every household is short of vegetables, and bean sprouts are both cheap and good.

Everyone is careful with their money when it comes to daily life. This approach not only prevents these comrades from making mistakes, but also allows them to reap the benefits. That's why Xiao Hu gets along well with them.

Xiao Hu's business has therefore been very stable.
