Pour the rice in, add the sugar, and with a bang, a pot of popcorn is ready.

This time, the swollen rice grains tasted sweet in the mouth and had a rice aroma.

Yu Yuan and Yueyue tasted it, happily packed a lot, and quickly sent it to Yu You's home.

Yang Jijun and Xiao Gang had food all around their mouths.

Yang Jijun said, "With just a few grains of rice, so many popcorn pops can be made. This pot will yield a lot of servings! This business is sure to be profitable."

Xiao Gang: "It's sweet, and the kids like it."

Pan Yongming and Zhou Xuefeng exchanged a glance. To be honest, their county didn't have many pillar industries, funding was low, and work was difficult.

Suddenly I felt a little envious.

Zhou Xuefeng muttered quietly, "County Chief, we need to speed up our work. I think there are many positions in our county that are very suitable for director."

Pan Yongming: "Yes, don't write any reports and wait for approval. The city can wait, but our county can't."

"Tomorrow we will go directly to the city and try to win him over directly."

Yu Weimin asked everyone to sit wherever they wanted and then went to help his wife. When the county leaders came, they had to prepare a nice table.

Cao Xiu made braised pork, stir-fried diced pork with peas, stir-fried meat with mushrooms and eggs, stir-fried eggs with garlic, and also stewed a braised fish with dried fish.

As soon as the dishes were served, Yu Yuan and Yueyue came back.

Yu Yuan held a bowl of food in his hand and said, "Mom, my second sister heard that there were guests at home, so she asked me to bring some food."

A big bowl of mapo tofu looks bright red.

Cao Xiu smiled and said, "Did your second sister buy tofu? It looks quite good. It just so happens that she didn't make any spicy dishes."

Then he said to Yu Weimin, "Speaking of our daughter's craftsmanship, she's almost catching up with me now."

Yu Weimin praised reflexively, "Of course, she's an excellent mother, so how could her daughter be any worse?"

Cao Xiu: "You're smart!"

The people who were forced to eat a mouthful of rations...

In this day and age, it is rare for men and women to express their feelings in this way, and it is even rarer for couples to praise each other.

Yu Weimin: "Everyone, don't just stand there and watch. Sit down and eat. Eat."

Pan Yongming and his companions were a little hesitant at first, but after tasting a few bites of the food, they quietly sped up the pace of picking up the dishes.

Yang Jijun said: "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really great."

Why does his wife cook vegetables every day? Can you come over and learn from her?

Cao Xiu chuckled, "My only skill is my craft. I can't compare to you. As leaders, you work tirelessly and shoulder heavy responsibilities."

Xiao Gang: "Having good skills is great, and you can also make popcorn to generate income for your family. If our county had such talents, the people would suffer less."

Yu Weimin suddenly felt that the food didn't taste good anymore.

A bad premonition rushed straight to the top of my head!

So, what were these people doing here? Were they targeting him again?

Last time, it was this group of people who issued a transfer order, and I was promoted from Village Chief Yu to Director Yu.

Modern experience has taught him that the higher the position, the greater the responsibility! Being placed on a pedestal isn't a pleasant feeling. He really didn't expect to rise through the ranks!

Yu Weimin: "With the leadership of several leaders, Shannan County has been going smoothly. We will surely develop even better in the future!"

Pan Yongming gave him a meaningful look: "No, no, no, we still need fresh blood!"

Yu Weimin...

I have completely lost my appetite!

Yu Yuan asked, "Mom, how are you going to sell this popcorn?"

Cao Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Rice is hard to come by, so we'll just sell corn. Popcorn is bulky, so a one-ounce serving will make a big bag. We'll wrap it in oil paper and sell it. As for the price, is five cents a serving okay?"

Corn kernels cost less than ten cents per pound, and after deducting sugar and firewood, you can make about forty cents per pound of popcorn.

One pot only produces one kilogram, and if ten pots are made every day, that would be four yuan. If too many are made, the supply and marketing cooperative cannot sell them all.

Okay, that’s one hundred and twenty yuan this month!

Yu Yuan: "Then I'll help you pack it when you buy the oil paper."

Yueyue also raised her hand: "Grandma, I can do it too!"

Cao Xiu: "Okay, from now on, you two can help me pack after lunch, and I'll pay you per piece. This way, you two can also earn some pocket money."

Pan Yongming and others were a little jealous.

Just ask, how can someone make money by staying at home? Their monthly income is more than that of several grown men. Who knows how it feels?

Several people looked at Yu Weimin with admiration.

By this time, Zhou Cheng and Miao Qing had already taken quite a few photos. They didn't even wait for the photos to be developed before grabbing the film and going to buy their return train tickets.

What is the dream of journalists? Isn't it to discover news and spread it?

The two were very excited. Xiangyang Commune was like a little red spot in the green, and they were eager to let more people see these changes.

…

Xi family in Beijing.

Xi Feng and Qin Zhiya saved up a few days of vacation to come back and visit Xi's parents.

Xi Ping and her family also came.

As soon as Qin Zhiya entered the room, Xi Ping pulled her over and said, "I want to tell you something!"

Qin Zhiya asked, "What's the matter?"

Xi Ping: "Your ex-brother-in-law, Zhao Wen. Didn't he marry Fang Zifei?"

Qin Zhiya nodded. She knew about this. Xi Ping had even sent her a telegram to inform her.

"Guess what? A few days ago, Zhao Wen went to work injured. His face was scratched and it was awful."

Qin Zhiya was indeed very interested: "Huh? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Whenever she thought of her sister and Yanyan being tied up at home and wanted to starve to death, she felt that no matter how much suffering the Zhao Wen family had endured, it was not enough.
