"Doing business?" Zheng Dandan chewed on these three words and looked at Qiao Zhiping warily.

"Yes, are you willing to cooperate with me?" Qiao Zhiping nodded slightly. He looked straight into Zheng Dandan's eyes, his eyes full of expectation.

"I don't seem to know your identity yet." Zheng Dandan looked at him for two seconds and lowered her eyes.

Although she had some guesses in her mind, Qiao Zhiping never made it clear.

"A soldier," Qiao Zhiping answered concisely. He pulled his officer ID from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Dandan. "It's a certain rank, so your information can be kept confidential."

Sure enough...the guess was confirmed.

After carefully checking the ID information, Zheng Dandan extended her right hand toward Qiao Zhiping and said, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"You agreed?" Qiao Zhiping looked at Zheng Dandan with joy.

During his time in Luoshui County, in addition to protecting the Zheng family, he was also observing Zheng Dandan.

Zheng Dandan is extremely mysterious. She seems to have unlimited grains, oil, rice, noodles, vegetables and fruits.

In this era of material scarcity, the goods she possessed were too tempting.

After Qiao Zhiping noticed this phenomenon, he almost immediately wanted to find Zheng Dandan to talk and make a deal with her.

However, after noticing Zheng Dandan's strong wariness and caution about the source of the goods, he quickly gave up his original idea.

Later, he just wanted to quietly protect the Zheng family as a way of repaying his gratitude. Unexpectedly, because of the gangsters, he unexpectedly appeared in front of Zheng Dandan, and Zheng Dandan thanked him for inviting him.

In his excitement, he proposed an idea that had been etched deep in his heart. He had originally thought it was impossible, just hoping for the best. Unexpectedly, Zheng Dandan actually agreed.

"Really." Zheng Dandan affirmed, her tone very serious.

It was because she guessed that Qiao Zhiping might be a soldier that she did not immediately reject his proposal.

As a Chinese, she has a strong sense of identity and honor. When she studied history, she felt deeply saddened by all the times of weakness and poverty. Now that she has the ability, she is naturally willing to contribute.

"Thank you." Qiao Zhiping saluted Zheng Dandan solemnly.

"What do you need and how much of each do you need?" Zheng Dandan asked directly.

"Can you introduce yourself to me? I only discovered your secret when I was protecting you, and I haven't investigated you." Qiao Zhiping looked at Zheng Dandan.

Zheng Dandan felt warm in her heart when she heard this.

Being willing to give and being willing to be monitored are two different things. Qiao Zhiping did not cross the line, even if he lied to her, but it was good that he had this awareness.

Besides, based on her current understanding of Qiao Zhiping, he should be telling the truth.

"You're right. I have all kinds of vegetables, fruits, grains, oils, rice, and flour. I can't say it's unlimited supply, but the quantity is quite large. Specific types include rapeseed oil, rice, flour, apples, oranges, grapes, dragon fruit, cucumbers, radishes, and cabbage..."

Zheng Dandan told Qiao Zhiping all the products unlocked in the fruit and vegetable section and the grain and rice section.

As Zheng Dandan read out each word, Qiao Zhiping's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally almost glowed.

"What's the price? Is it the same as what your brother and his friends charge at their stall?" Qiao Zhiping asked with a slightly anxious attitude.

"Of course not, you are a big customer, so I will give you a 40% discount on everything." Zheng Dandan stated the price - this was almost her cost.

"You won't lose money, right?" After hearing the specific price, Qiao Zhiping looked at Zheng Dandan hesitantly. He had some understanding of the market price, and the quote Zheng Dandan gave him was too cheap.

"No, small profits but quick turnover." Zheng Dandan said lightly.

Knowing that Zheng Dandan would not suffer any loss, Qiao Zhiping felt relieved and asked, "How much can you supply?"

"The monthly limit for grain, oil, rice, flour and vegetables is 500,000 kilograms each, and the monthly limit for fruit is 10,000 kilograms." Zheng Dandan replied that she owns a cannery and has to be responsible for herself and her partners.

"Why are there so few fruits?" Qiao Zhiping looked at Zheng Dandan in surprise.

"Because that's all there is." Zheng Dandan was willing to support it, but didn't want to drag out all of it.

Seeing Zheng Dandan's perfunctory response, Qiao Zhiping tactfully stopped asking questions. "Thank you for your hospitality. I'll come find you after I've discussed and confirmed the deal with them."

"You're welcome anytime." Zheng Dandan nodded.

After receiving Zheng Dandan's affirmative response, Qiao Zhiping said goodbye and left, and Zheng Dandan also returned to the Zheng family.

"Mom, what happened?"

When she returned home, Zheng Dandan found that the usually cheerful Sun Cuilan had a serious expression.

"Your grandfather..." Sun Cuilan's eyes reddened.

"What happened to my grandpa?" Zheng Dandan had a vague premonition.

"He passed away." Sun Cuilan sighed, looking sad.

Although she had little contact with her father-in-law due to the separation of the family, after she married into the Zheng family, her father-in-law treated her very well during the few days they had contact.

Zheng Dandan was speechless... and died?

She didn't spend much time with Mr. Zheng, but they would see each other from time to time. The last time she saw him, he was still full of energy and spirit...

"Dad, do you know?" Zheng Dandan looked at Sun Cuilan.

"Your third brother went to inform them," Sun Cuilan replied. She looked at Zheng Dandan. "As the fallen leaves return to their roots, your uncle said he would carry your grandfather back to Ginkgo Village for burial."

"Yeah, okay." Zheng Dandan expressed her support. "I'll ask the transport team for help."

"Will they be happy?" Sun Cuilan was a little skeptical, after all, funerals are taboos.

"It's okay, I'll find someone who is willing." Zheng Dandan smiled lightly, then went to the public telephone booth and called her office.

"Hello, this is Tan Xueming." Tan Xueming answered the phone.

"It's me, Zheng Dandan." Zheng Dandan spoke, getting straight to the point. "My grandfather passed away, and my uncle wants to carry him back to Ginkgo Village. Could you please ask the transport team for help? It's voluntary, and the price is three times the usual."

In fact, even if the price is not tripled, people will still come.

As the cannery grew, her collaboration with the transport team became more frequent and closer.

If there is no one, the probability of the transport team leader oppressing her in order to show goodwill to her will definitely not be good.

It's just that Zheng Dandan is not happy about it. She still hopes that the people who come here will be willing. For this reason, it doesn't matter if they pay some money.

"Yes," Tan Xueming replied. He paused and added, "My condolences."

"It's okay, it's a happy funeral, I'm not sad." Zheng Dandan said.

Having experienced life and death once, she was very open-minded. Besides, Grandpa Zheng was eighty years old, so he died of old age.

"Well, I'll go get the transport team right away. Bye."

"Goodbye." Zheng Dandan hung up the phone. She walked to Sun Cuilan and comforted her grieving mother.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable.

When a person dies, the light goes out, sooner or later.
