Lian Xiaomin nodded in agreement, saying that it was good to have reliable manpower.

Xiaomao trusts these five people, and she is also making plans for the future.

Even if I go to Hong Kong next year, I can still come back.

The Great Hua Nation is experiencing a period of extreme shortage of supplies, and this situation will continue for many years.

She can come back once or twice a year in the future to continue shipping the materials released in the space, so such manpower is also needed.

Now the two Ma brothers in Beijing, Hong Nantian in Shanghai, cousin Xiao Hong in Nanjing, and Dalong in Jianye County are all her partners.

I can continue to ship goods to them steadily in the future, make some money, and exchange them for some jewelry and antiques. What’s not to like?

The brothers from Sandaogou Commune would not lose their means of making money, so they could just continue to work with her.

"Xiao Mao, if you still have connections with people in the police station and someone to protect you, how about starting a small black market again? You and Errong will be in charge, and I will give you the supplies."

"Boss, of course! We've been thinking this for a long time. We didn't know whether Mr. Qian would be able to come back, and we were worried all the time."

"...According to what you said, he has changed his ways outside and is living a good life. He won't come back, so we can do it on our own.

Lian Xiaomin nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qian will write to you and contact you again in a few years when everything is stable."

She realized that Errong was brave and Mao Jun was resourceful; these two were the backbone and there was no problem for them to share the responsibility.

"How about this, Xiao Mao, go call Errong and his three brothers now, and take your carts to the dilapidated temple next to the commune to collect supplies."

"… Let's follow the rules that were in place when Master Qian was here. I'll give you 20% of the profits and settle accounts regularly. From now on, you'll be the leader and lead everyone to work hard. Do a good job!"

"...Please help me collect some high-quality old items, and try to exchange cash for gold bars."

Xiao Mao was very excited. He and Gu Dazhuang looked at each other and they both had the same expression.

Although Mao Jun is the youngest among five brothers, he is only 23 years old this year.

But he is the most loyal and the most skilled, and everyone listens to him. Gu Dazhuang patted his arm and thought to himself, this is such a good thing, you can work again, you should quickly agree to it, boss.

Xiao Mao said solemnly: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely rebuild the small black market and lead everyone to follow you~"

They agreed to meet at the dilapidated temple half an hour later. Lian Xiaomin left first and said she would wait there.

Xiao Mao and Gu Dazhuang went to inform the Errong brothers. Everyone was very excited and had been waiting for the day when Lin Zi would come to find them to continue working.

It's a pity that Linzi went abroad, but at least his boss behind the scenes, Miss Jiang, was willing to continue working with the four brothers.

This is a job that pays for your salary. You have to know that the other party is definitely a very capable person. It is definitely a good idea to follow such a boss.

They found a lot of carts, which every household has. Xiao Mao's brother-in-law Pan Youmin and his wife Guihua each towed a cart to help transport the goods.

In a hidden area behind the ruined temple, the ground was piled with sacks.

Each bag of grain weighs 100 jin, and there are 20 bags of rice and flour each, which requires four carts.

Ten bags each of cornmeal, sorghum rice, and soybeans.

At that time, soybeans were considered a nutritional supplement, and only sick and hospitalized patients could receive tickets for two taels of soybeans to supplement their nutrition.

There were also eight rolls of cotton cloth, five hundred kilograms of cotton, and five boxes of white sugar and brown sugar.

Lian Xiaomin helped them load the truck quickly. She carried a bag of grain in each hand and looked so effortless that everyone was stunned.

They all thought at the same time: what a powerful person he is, he is worthy of being the boss of the forest!

…

After loading, each truck of supplies was covered with a large piece of canvas. If seven trucks could not carry all the supplies, the two people in the lead would return to pull the supplies once, and two trips would be enough.

These things will be stored in Errong's yard first, and when the small black market is restarted, we will find another warehouse.

Xiao Mao told the boss that he would prepare the account book when he got back and settle the accounts regularly in the future.

Lian Xiaomin watched them drive away with the bike before turning around and riding her bike back to Sandagou.

Hey~ I can finally stay at home quietly.

…

The next day, after Lian Xiaomin woke up, she came out of the space early and first lit the big kang in the east room.

After being away for half a month, I cleaned and mopped the house everywhere to keep it spotless.

Then they took Xiaofu, Xiaoya, Junjun and Guagua out of the space and put them on the big kang to play.

Ever since I brought Junjun and Guagua back from Beijing, I would let them go out to play whenever there was no one else at home, so the little kids have long been familiar with this home.

Although the climate in the space is good and the villa has modern facilities and everything is convenient, the child cannot live there forever after all.

It’s just not convenient now, so Guagua and the other two have to be put in there often. They can’t run around the village to play like Xiaofu and Xiaoya.

When we go to Hong Kong in the future, we can’t always live in a space. Children still need to play with their friends and live a normal life.

Four babies sat together, each with a bottle of prepared milk powder to supplement their nutrition.

Xiaofu will be five years old in more than three months, and now he can recite many songs.

After drinking the milk powder, the kids followed their brother to learn songs.

These were all taught by Lian Xiaomin from some children's programs played on the computer when they were in the space.

Guagua had just learned to speak and couldn't keep up, so he just babbled nonsense, which made Lian Xiaomin laugh non-stop.

At noon, she stewed a pot of shredded radish and meatballs, and made scrambled eggs with tomatoes for the kid.

It’s so comfortable to eat steaming hot food in such a cold day.

In the afternoon, she had to go to the brigade headquarters to hand in the prey.

Xiaofu was asked to stay at home to look after the kids, who were playing on the big kang and were not allowed to go out of the house because it was too cold outside. So they simply locked the door from the outside to prevent others from seeing two more kids in the house.

Lian Xiaomin pushed a cart, loaded it with a big wild boar, and headed straight for the brigade headquarters.

Wang Kui happened to be there, and he asked the scorer and a young man to get a scale to weigh it and record the work points.

"Wow~ Xiaomin, you shot such a big wild boar by yourself, your shooting skills are really accurate!"

Upon seeing that the wild boar was shot in the head, one could not help but marvel at the sight.

"Our village is organizing a hunting trip deep in the mountains. We will go there after New Year's Day. If the militiamen had your excellent marksmanship, they would be able to kill a lot more."

Lian Xiaomin smiled and said, "Captain, you have so many people, so I'm sure you'll have a great harvest."

Zhang Shengli’s second son, Zhang Wenxing, was also at the team headquarters, and Lian Xiaomin greeted him as well.

"Brother Erxing, how is Second Sister-in-law? You can keep the wild boar's trotters and use them to nourish her."

Zhang Wenxing’s wife Chen Xiaoyuan has been pregnant for more than six months. I heard from Yufang that my second cousin’s wife had a very hard time with her second child.

She used to work as a waitress in the state-owned restaurant in the commune, but now she has stopped going to work and is recuperating at home.

The job asked her younger sister Xiaoxiu to take over the job for half a year, and then go back to work after she gave birth to the baby.
