Chapter 650: Preparing for a Supply and Marketing Cooperative

Chen Qing knew Wang Wenming.

A child who loves to give Xiaoyu local specialties.

Grandpa Wang is He Yuxiang’s farming master.

He Yuan asked, "Is it far?"

Xiaoyu nodded weakly: "It's a bit far. It takes me an hour and a half to ride my bike."

He Yuan asked about the specific location. The roads to Wangjia Village were all main roads, so the safety factor was relatively high. So he looked at He Yuxiang and asked, "Do you want to go?"

He Yuxiang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he slowly looked at his uncle. Because he had been overworking his brain in chemistry, he looked tired, with the corners of his eyes drooping, looking lazy. After a while, he asked confusedly, "Me?"

He Yuan looked at it, raised the corner of his mouth, and nodded slightly: "Yes, it's not good to stay at home all the time."

Chen Qing glanced sideways, not expecting that Comrade He Yuan also had the common problem of parents. Seeing his children staying in the room every day, he would persuade them to go out for a walk more often.

He Yuxiang's mind gradually cleared up: "Double harvest is very tiring, there is no benefit, I don't really want to go."

Xiaoyu refused to accept the offer and began to argue, "There are so many benefits to harvesting crops twice a year! We can help Wang Wenming. That way, he won't have to work so hard, and he can go out to the countryside and see the world. He can catch cicadas, take bird eggs, touch snails, and raise crickets. We haven't tried any of these things yet!"

He Yuxiang killed the game with one sentence: "The leeches will suck your blood later."

The hall fell silent instantly.

Even the two little ones sitting in the stroller with their heads leaned back put their hands in front of them obediently, looking at their big brother with their big eyes bewildered.

Seeing his sister was furious, He Yuxiang said mercifully, "Go ahead. I'll go and trick Maomao to accompany you tonight."

Xiaoyu: “I can say it myself!”

He Yuxiang: "Then go and tell it yourself."

Xiaoyu was so angry with her brother that she ate her food quickly.

He Yuxiang noticed his uncle looking at him and explained awkwardly, "I'll be out for a bit."

He Yuan: "You are a little too impatient at the moment. You tend to be impatient when learning new things and can't achieve your goals in a short time. Labor can change your mindset. I think you should try to be down-to-earth and experience the life of a farmer, to experience the most down-to-earth life. Many things cannot be rushed, and haste can easily lead to failure."

He Yuxiang's eyelashes drooped, and he blinked, with a hint of confusion in his dark pupils.

He studied chemistry because he wanted to learn how to make plastics, but he still had a long way to go before he could do that. The chemical knowledge he learned did not generate any profit. Compared with the speed at which typewriters could make money, it was a world of difference. He wanted to give up chemistry, but he felt that his aunt and uncle had spent a lot of money to send him to school, and it would be too unfair to them if he gave up halfway. He studied hard, but the results were not great. Was he too hasty in learning?

"Will harvesting rice improve things?"

"Perhaps you could give it a try. You could earn high work points during the double harvest, and it would also be considered as mastering a skill, so it wouldn't be a disadvantage."

"Okay, I'll try."

He Yuxiang felt that it would only take twenty days, so it wouldn't be a big problem to give it a try.

Assuming that I really gained nothing, it would be a personal experience of the most difficult period for rural people.

In the evening, Xiaoyu asked Maomao to go to the countryside.

Mao Jianguo strongly supports it!

Maomao had no objection. He would be lazy if he wasn't used to it anyway. "Shall the three of us ride our bicycles to the countryside? Should we ask Short-legged Tiger and Xiaohe? That way, we can each take one and have company along the way."

"Great, great."

Xiaoyu became happy.

After she returned home, she made an appointment with Aijiaohu, who agreed reluctantly. The next day, Xiaoyu followed her aunt to the garment factory to find Sister Xiaohe and asked her to go to the countryside to help Wang Wenming with the double harvest.

Yang Yihe asked, "Do I need to prepare anything? Gloves and rain boots? Should I wear long or short sleeves? I think I heard that it's easy to get itchy when cutting rice."

"Ah?" Xiaoyu was really surprised: "I'll go ask Grandpa Wang."

"Let's go together."

Yang Yihe sat on the back seat of Xiaoyu's bicycle and was taken to Wang Wenming's house by Xiaoyu.

Wang Wenming warmly welcomed his friend, "Xiaoyu, come quickly, I'll give you some taro."

"Okay." Xiaoyu parked the bicycle in front of his door.

Grandpa Wang stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the bicycle. Only a precious child could make this thing!

"Xiaoyu, do your aunt and uncle agree that you can go to the countryside to work?"

"I agree. My uncle-in-law asked my brother to go too. I also invited three other friends. We work very quickly." Xiaoyu took the taro handed over by Wang Wenming, tore off the skin and took a small bite. The taro was soft and sticky.

Grandpa Wang was flattered and said with a smile, "That's fine. You can come to my place and we'll provide food for you. We'll give you some grain later."

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Wang. I'd like to ask, what preparations do I need to make when I go to the countryside to harvest rice?"

"Prepare?" Grandpa Wang thought about the delicate skin and flesh of the educated youth, who couldn't do the hard work. These children were spoiled and would definitely get tired more easily. "Straw hats, long pants, work gloves if you have them, you can wear them, and rain boots too. Remember to bring a water bottle."

"OK."

Xiaoyu felt that what Sister Xiaohe said was not much different.

She made an appointment with Wang Wenming to meet tomorrow, and then she and Sister Xiaohe went home to prepare.

Grandpa Wang said to his grandson, "When you take your friends back to your hometown, remember to take good care of them."

"I know."

Wang Wenming smiled innocently.

Grandpa Wang patted his grandson's head, thinking that these little kids would only need two days of play. How could they really play for twenty days? That would make their families feel bad. "I'll go buy some mung beans and make some mung bean soup for you."

While Grandpa Wang was preparing things for the children, Chen Qing was also planning a new project.

Because today's large companies are equivalent to independent small communities.

Such as factory areas, workshops, auditoriums, grocery stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, children's schools, employee hospitals, nurseries, etc., everything is available to meet the needs of employees and their families.

Chen Qing is currently preparing to set up a supply and marketing cooperative, and the establishment of a supply and marketing cooperative mainly depends on whether there is one nearby.

The Third Garment Factory is 1.3 kilometers away from the nearest supply and marketing cooperative, which is neither far nor near, just right for shopping. However, it is almost two kilometers away from the gate of the Midsummer Sportswear Factory. It is neither far nor near either. Walking back and forth with a bottle of soy sauce would ruin my lunch break.

The workers didn't complain about the inconveniences in their lives, but after Chen Qing specifically learned about the workers' needs, he still wanted to improve them.

Especially since garment factories have a large number of female employees, it is really inconvenient because it is too far to go to buy things.

Chen Qing made a special appointment to meet with Director Wang, who was in charge of the city's supply and marketing cooperatives, in his office.

Director Wang greeted Chen Qing politely: "Director Chen, I've heard a lot about you."

"I don't deserve it. We are just a small garment factory. We still have to rely on your support in the future." Chen Qing saw that he was short and fat, and felt that his company was very lucrative.
