Chapter 167: Not a fan of luxury

Lu Xiang didn't feel like eating much after she became pregnant.

Especially heavy oils and meat, the smell makes me want to vomit.

This happened for two consecutive days, which made the whole family very anxious.

Mother Lu always prepared delicious food for Lu Xiang. The village was short on supplies, and people could only eat a few times a year. Mother Lu always gave Lu Xiang the best food she thought of.

Who knew that Lu Xiang's face would change and she would start to retch.

It's only been two days, and not only Mother Lu, but even the mother-in-law is worried. This can't go on.

Lu Xiang said: "I'll be fine in a few days!"

Mother Lu advised: "You have to eat a little, not just for yourself but also for the baby in your belly."

Lu Xiang frowned and reluctantly took a couple of bites. Then she smiled at the two elderly people in a soothing manner.

The couple also gave face to their mother. Seeing that Lu Xiang was so sensible, Xiao Cailian and the two mothers were both relieved and sad.

Xiao Cailian was unhappy and started to find fault with her son Fu Qinhui: "He's not home all day long."

Lu Xiang said, "He and Fatty Liu are going to open a factory together. They might be quite busy with the early preparations recently!"

These past two days, Fu Qinhui would kiss her a few times before leaving. Lu Xiang would smile every time she thought about how reluctant he was to let her go.

Xiao Cailian muttered beside him, "Just tell him not to quit his job at the supply and marketing cooperative. Otherwise, he'll have a stable job. He can even take time off. It's a good job you can't find even with a lantern."

When Mother Lu heard this, she was shocked: "He quit his job at the supply and marketing cooperative?"

This was the first time Mother Lu had heard of this, and Xiao Cailian had never told anyone else about it. But the news couldn't be concealed.

Xiao Cailian explained the whole story to her mother-in-law, and finally said with emotion, "That bastard made me so angry that my liver hurts."

Although his work was not wasted and his family took over, Lu Xiang was now pregnant, and her mother-in-law was a little unhappy.

A stable job, although I can't make a lot of money, but I can be at home more often! Now it's good, Fu Qinhui didn't come home until late at night yesterday.

How could Xiao Cailian feel at ease to leave her daughter-in-law to him, let alone a pregnant daughter-in-law?

Lu Xiang said: "It's okay!"

Before she could say a few words, the director of the women's department came over, took some preserved fruits and said, "I thought you would like them!" These were gifts from her relatives, and she usually couldn't bear to eat them.

She and Lu Xiang had the best temper. When she heard that Lu Xiang was pregnant, she not only gave her a lot of leave, but also brought her some dried fruits.

Lu Xiang was somewhat grateful. She really couldn't eat proper meals, but she still liked these snacks.

The women's director said: "Now the two new greenhouses have been successfully built, and we have started to move the vegetables in." It's a relief to think about it.

Now I make a lot of money by selling vegetables every day.

It turned out that they were all following Village Chief Bai around. Things have changed over time, and now Village Chief Bai comes here every day.

I'm still trying to get the village chief to cooperate, but he hasn't agreed yet.

The women's director brought the latest news. The vegetables have been selling well recently. Not only the steel mill and the spring factory, but several other factories also came to them to place orders for vegetables after hearing about it.

Their dishes have gained a reputation for being delicious and affordable.

There are also county employees coming here to buy.

When buying vegetables there, you can truly feel the sense of supply exceeding demand, and selling vegetables is very satisfying.

Now, those vegetables that are of slightly lower quality are not distributed to the villagers, but sold cheaply to the county.

These affordable dishes are very popular among the people. Although they look a little ugly, they taste the same.

Now is the time when radishes and cabbages are abundant, so eating some green vegetables is better than eating these two.

Now everyone realized that everything could be sold for money. Even the tender radish tops could be sold for 20 cents per pound, which made the people of Dayu Village very happy.

Now when I go to work in the vegetable greenhouse, what I see is not just vegetables, but mountains of gold and silver.

If villagers want to eat it, they have to buy it with money, but the price is a bit cheaper than in the city.

The director of the women's department was very happy to see Xiao Cailian and Mother Lu in front of her, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with me now. I always like to talk about vegetable greenhouses."

Now the vegetable greenhouse is her apple of the eye.

It was Lu Xiang who had originally suggested this, and she was the one who had invited back all these senior professors. This only made me realize how far-sighted Lu Xiang was.

In the past, who would have thought that selling vegetables could be so easy?

The director of women's affairs said, "You are smart, and the baby in your belly must be smart too."

Everyone likes to hear good words, and the women's director's words made both my mother and mother-in-law smile.

Lu Xiang said, "But there's something that's been on my mind. Selling it like this isn't a solution."

The director of the women's department was in high spirits and would be angry at anyone who said that. But the person who said that was Lu Xiang.

The director of the women's department was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?" She didn't see any hidden dangers. Isn't this good? It's thriving.

Lu Xiang said, "It's already late autumn. Winter will come soon. What will we do to sell vegetables?" The old farmers in the village said that it would snow within seven days.

They have been farming all year round and have developed the ability to observe the weather.

The women's director and others just wanted to sell these vegetables before winter and didn't plan to sell them for long.

Lu Xiang said that vegetables become more valuable as winter approaches.

When winter comes, not even a hint of green can be seen, and fresh vegetables suddenly become the top of the food chain.

The director of women's affairs nodded and said, "You make sense. What should we do? Vegetables are afraid of freezing."

If it freezes, it will be terrible. Besides, the prices of these vegetables are very high, and it would be a waste of money.

Lu Xiang said, "Why don't we open a shop and sell vegetables?" This way we can light a stove in the winter and not worry about freezing.

The director of women's affairs thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go talk to your uncle first."

After a while, the village chief came.

Originally, Lu Xiang was pregnant, so a man like the village chief wouldn't get close to her. But opening a vegetable shop was so new! Sure enough, Lu Xiang had the brains for this, and no one else could.

The village chief said, "Open a shop to sell vegetables?" I had never thought about this question before.

Renting a shop is quite expensive. According to the original thinking, you can only make some money by selling vegetables.

But now it’s different, it’s good to have a fixed store.

The village chief asked, "Do you have any good places to choose from?" Now he spoke with some reliance on Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang often goes to the county, which is better than someone like him who only goes there two or three times a year.

Lu Xiang found a piece of paper and drew an area between the steel mill and the spring factory. There were some small houses on the street that had been converted into shops and some were small shops.

When Lu Xiang was selling vegetables before, she had taken a fancy to this shop.

Lu Xiang said, "It's not expensive, so it's a good idea to buy it first! We can find a bigger shop, burn the stove in the winter, and it will be more convenient for more people to come in."

The village chief nodded. Another question arose: "Who will sell it?"

The women's director said, "I'll go over there and sell it. If that doesn't work out, I'll just live there." Lu Xiang was right. Finding a place was the most important thing. Everything else could be solved.

The village chief said, "Then I'll let Dazhuang and I go to the store!" Dazhuang was honest and simple, and a very down-to-earth person. The village chief kept him by his side, wanting to guide him.

Train Dazhuang as the successor. It is possible that Dazhuang will be the next village chief.

The village chief trusted Lu Xiang more and had asked the women's director to ask her if she wanted to do the job. Lu Xiang refused, so the village chief had to settle for Da Zhuang.

Lu Xiang said: "Okay!"

The village chief had a smile on his face: "If you say it's okay, it's okay."
