The problem of fruit surplus is not limited to the town; it also exists in Dongyuan Commune and Shangfen Village.

Southern fruits are rare in the north. If they could be transported to the north, they would definitely sell well.

However, the distance between the two places is far, and the fruit would spoil before it could be transported to the north, so it is basically impossible to sell fresh southern fruit in the north.

Having lived there for over ten years and having a good relationship with Mayor Fang and the people of Shangfen Village, Xia Jingshu couldn't ignore Mayor Fang's request for help, so he had the idea of ​​returning to Shangfen Village.

Yu Rujia: "Fruits can be made into dried fruit, jam, or juice. Won't they arrange that?"

Xia Jingshu: "Dried fruits and jams require a lot of taste, and juices need to be properly preserved. I'm planning to go there."

Xia Jingshu possesses exceptional culinary skills, and his recipes are undoubtedly superior in taste to those of the average person.

Yu Rujia: "Isn't your factory in a period of rapid development? You'll be away from the factory for at least half a month. Are you sure you'll be okay?"

Xia Jingshu: "The work on the market and production line can proceed as usual. I don't usually manage these things at the factory. Han Jiehua and Da Wa go over there a few times a week. With them watching over things, there won't be any problems."

"Research and development will be affected a bit, but I have many options. Because it was half a month late, the project was snatched up by someone else, so I can just switch to another project."

Last year, Wei Hanjie and his two companions were brought to the factory. Whenever they had time, they would go to the factory to do some work, and they are now in charge of the management of many departments.

As long as the company makes money, that's fine. Xia Jingshu prefers to develop new products, and he focuses most of his efforts on that.

Yu Rujia: "If you really can let go of your work, I'll go back with you this time. I've been away from Shangfen Brigade for two or three years, and I really miss it."

For the Xia family, Beijing was their hometown, but for Yu Rujia, she only stayed in Beijing for half a month before going to Shangfen Brigade, which was her true hometown.

Xia Jingshu was taken aback. He knew his wife preferred to enjoy life and disliked trouble, but he never expected that she would be willing to endure a two- or three-day commute just to return to Shangfen Village.

Shangfen Village indeed held a very important place in her heart.

Xia Jingshu paused for a moment, then said, "If you're coming along, let's drive. We can use a small truck; we can sleep in it at night, which is more convenient than on the train."

His company has a small truck with a few flat beds in the back. With some modifications, it can serve as temporary accommodation for two people.

Taking the train and then transferring to a bus would take three days of commuting, about the same as the time it takes them to drive a truck.

Since Jia wanted to go, he couldn't refuse, so he could only try to make her journey more comfortable.

A few small, flat-bottomed trucks aren't as comfortable as home, but they can decide their own travel time, and the space and environment are much better than trains or cars.

There's no need to carry a bunch of luggage around, or squeeze through a crowd of people with all sorts of smells while waiting for the car to arrive. That will definitely make Rujia feel better.

Yu Rujia: "No problem, I can drive. I'll drive back with you."

When the children in the family learned that they were going back to Shangfen Village, they insisted on going with them.

Yu Rujia: "You have to go to school, so you can't go."

One sentence made Dorje Dorje pout.

Dorjee: "Mom, I've learned everything the teacher taught me. It's okay to take a month or two off."

Duole chimed in, "Mom, that's right. The knowledge is very simple. My brothers have taught it to me. It's okay if I don't go to school."

This is the benefit of having used the Enlightenment Pill and having a bunch of older brothers; you learn your lessons a few steps faster than others.

The problem is that their family doesn't really approve of their children skipping grades. They think the two kids are fickle and the family doesn't need their money, so there's no need to push them into society early.

Both children, who are quite adept at their studies, felt that taking leave would not affect their learning.

Yu Rujia: "It takes us one or two months to travel back and forth to Shangfen Village. You two have exams in early July, so we may not be able to make it back in time. You two should stay in Beijing to prepare for the exams."

"Once you graduate, you'll have plenty of opportunities to go back to Shangfen Village."

Duoyi clung to her arm, her soft little body almost twisting into a pretzel: "Mom, I don't have to go to school, I can go with you."

Yu Rujia pushed away Xiao Duoyi, who was clinging to her. She could forgive the older brothers, but he was only two or three years old when he left Shangfen Brigade. How deep could his feelings for that place be?

Yu Rujia: "It takes a long time to get around on the road, and you can't move or take a shower. It's really tough. It's much more comfortable at home."

Due to a habit formed from childhood, and the fact that they would sweat profusely from practicing martial arts every day, even in the dead of winter, the children in the family would still take a bath every day, and would feel uncomfortable if they didn't.

In May, when the weather is getting hot, after running around outside all day, getting all dirty, it's even harder for the group to stand without a shower.

Dorjee grabbed Duoyi, who was about to retort, and said, "Last time we came back, you were the one who caused the most trouble. Just stay home with us and don't cause trouble for your parents."

They can't go, and neither can Duoyi, that little liar 'sister' who deceived their feelings.

As if on the same wavelength, Duo Le reached out and grabbed his brother's hand, saying, "Come on, brother will take you to take a bath."

The little boy, Duoyi, was being squeezed uncomfortably by his two older brothers, and kept begging for mercy, leaving him no time to whine to Yu Rujia.

Xia Jingshu figured out how to build a motorhome on his own, adding a room, a washroom, and a large water tank that could hold two cubic meters of water to the cargo bed of a small truck.

You don't have to worry about not having a place to shower while on the road.

Because of limited space, there was no kitchen in the carriage, so Xia Jingshu put a stove in the carriage.

A stove doesn't necessarily have to burn coal; firewood can also be used. There's no shortage of firewood along the road, so if they want to do something, they have a place to do it.

Although simple, it is a small mobile room.

Yu Rujia's first reaction after seeing the car was to give Xia Jingshu a big hug.

Yu Rujia: "If we ever want to go on a trip, we can take this car with us and we won't have to worry about being uncomfortable wherever we go."

A charming smile spread across Xia Jingshu's gentle, fair face as he reached out and pulled his wife even closer.

Xia Jingshu: "The interior layout is something I just came up with. Due to time constraints, there are still many things that need to be improved. When we actually go on a trip, we will definitely need to modify a more perfect car."

"I'm afraid you'll have to make do with this car for now. If you think there's anything that needs improvement, please let me know."

Yu Rujia: "It would be even better if we could put a box in the car so we could prepare the meals for the next few days and put them in there."

"I set up a temperature-controlled array in the box to keep the food below five degrees Celsius, which can keep it from spoiling for several days. We can just take it out and heat it up when we want to eat it."

When you're out and about, heating up food on a stove is definitely much more convenient than cooking it yourself.
