Lin Yu chose Zhou Huanan for another reason: she had heard Gu Yunze say that Zhou Huanan's family lived in a northern city, which was more suitable for selling dried fruit.
He's rather introverted and a bit of a bookworm, so he's not really suited to be a salesman.
However, some of his relatives are factory managers in large factories, and others work in government agencies!
Doesn't that mean there's a market for it?
Of course, once Lin Yu learned about his background, she was puzzled, "Then why did he still go to the countryside?"
Gu Yunze had already inquired about Zhou Huanan; he was quite naive and easy to get information out of him.
"Zhou Huanan volunteered to come to the countryside to support rural development, and his family fully supported him."
Lin Yu thought that this family had very good character. They could have arranged a job for their child to avoid going to the countryside, but they still supported him in pursuing his ideals.
Only parents like these could raise a child as upright and innocent as Zhou Huanan.
Therefore, Lin Yu entrusted Zhou Huanan with an important task, asking him to return to the north and find a sales channel for dried fruit.
“You’ve been in the countryside for more than half a year now, so you can go home and visit your parents while you’re at it.”
Zhou Huanan really missed his family, and when he heard Lin Yu ask him to go back to his hometown, he was overjoyed.
The brigade leader gave Zhou Huanan a letter of introduction, allowing him to stay in his hometown for nearly a month.
As he boarded the train home, Zhou Huanan was still grateful for the care he had received from the Lianhua Brigade.
I've never heard of anyone being able to go home for the Lunar New Year on their first year after being sent to the countryside.
If this isn't taking care of him, what is it?
If you ask Lin Yu, she'll say, "Of course, it's because all companies need to order New Year's goods for their employees at this time!"
If all goes well, they might even receive orders from large organizations.

Shortly after Zhou Huanan left, Li Dahui and Lin Yuan, who had gone to the provincial capital, also returned.
They even brought back the order contract from the provincial capital's department store!
This will significantly increase the output of the fan workshop.
Lin Yuan returned home, took a shower, and without resting, sat in the living room and began to speak.
This time, he really broadened his horizons and learned a lot.
"When we arrived in the provincial capital, we went to visit Aunt Li's house first."
Li Dahui's aunt, Lin Gupo's sister-in-law Li Huimei, married in the provincial capital, and can be said to be the best-married woman among the women from Lianhua Brigade.
She is a doctor and now works at a large hospital in the provincial capital.
Back then, because of Li Dahui's stuttering problem, Aunt Lin and her husband even took him to the hospital for treatment.
Li Huimei really liked Li Dahui. She had been injured during the war and had no children, so she even considered adopting Li Dahui.
Aunt Lin was reluctant to part with him, and Li Dahui was very self-conscious because of his stutter, feeling that his parents were going to abandon him.
Neither the adults nor the children agreed, so Li Huimei eventually gave up.
Because of his low self-esteem, Li Dahui never interacted with his relatives, so Li Huimei hadn't seen him for a long time.
But they were all her own children. Li Huimei recognized Li Dahui as soon as she met him, and she could also guess that Lin Yuan was Lin Aiguo's child.
Li Huimin is actually about the same age as Lin Yuan's mother, but because she is an educated person and a doctor, she looks very young.
She was delighted to see the two of them and insisted that they cancel their stay at the guesthouse and stay at their home.
Li Huimei's husband is named Hu Xianfeng. He is a soldier and currently serves in the local military unit in the provincial capital.
They have a very good relationship. Hu Xianfeng doesn't care that his wife can't have children, but he knows she always feels regretful about it.
Seeing how much Huimei liked the two boys, Gu Xianfeng put on a kind smile and invited them to stay.
Unable to persuade their aunt and uncle, the two finally agreed to stay at their home.
Hu Xianfeng also had his guards drive them to the guesthouse to check out and collect their luggage, and then bring them back.
This gave Lin Yuan and Li Dahui a taste of what it's like to ride in a military vehicle. That was so cool!
At Li Huimei's home, the couple were pleasantly surprised to learn that the two were out there trying to find markets for the brigade's fan workshop.
The higher authorities always talk about building up the countryside, promoting rural development, and even sending young people from the city to the countryside to provide support.
But I haven't seen anyone actually develop any real career in it.
Most of the young people who went to the countryside worked in the fields with the farmers.
Aside from exhausting himself and ending up looking disheveled, he didn't make many of the changes his superiors expected.
But now, the Lianhua Brigade has actually started a side business!
They processed the sweet potatoes they grew themselves to produce sweet potato vermicelli.
According to Li Dahui, they have already partnered with the county's supply and marketing cooperative and started selling.
After hearing this, Li Huimei and Hu Xianfeng both felt that this was a great thing.
If all the production brigades could follow their example and seek their own path to development, then the expectation of "rural development" might truly be achieved.
Therefore, Li Huimei and her husband were very enthusiastic and proactive in helping them.
Through them, Li Dahui and Lin Yuancai successfully connected with Manager Ning of the department store.
After tasting the hot and sour noodles, Manager Ning agreed to keep the noodles and seasoning packets they brought.
After that, Li Dahui took Lin Yuan to visit several state-run supply and marketing cooperatives and stores on his own.
I faced a lot of disdain and rejection.
But in the end, a few scattered individuals were willing to believe in them and left samples for trial sales.
Meanwhile, sweet potato vermicelli in department stores also found a market.
Those who have tried it will come back to buy it again.
Manager Ning was also very optimistic about the project, so he decided to sign a stable supply contract with them.
With these order contracts in hand, Li Dahui and his companion finished their work in the provincial capital and boarded the train home.
Before leaving, Li Huimei was very reluctant to part with him.
She really likes Li Dahui; he no longer stutters and has become much more confident and cheerful.
He is a very sincere person, never one to make empty promises, and only to give silently.
He's been a good kid since he was little.
Li Huimei felt much happier during the time the two of them lived at home.
Seeing his aunt's reluctance to part, Li Dahui hugged her and said, "Auntie, don't cry. I will come to see you often in the future."
Li Huimei wanted to say that coming here wasn't that easy.
But then I thought about it again, Da Hui is a salesman now, so of course he can be out and about all the time.
She felt a little happier after that.
Li Dahui felt a little reluctant to say goodbye to his aunt and uncle.
To be honest, his aunt was too good to him. He could feel her love and felt even more guilty for not visiting her more often before.
He's a salesman now, and the provincial capital market is huge, so he'll definitely have more opportunities to come here.
Li Dahui made up his mind that he would definitely visit his aunt and uncle more often in the future.
Lin Yuan, who was beside him, was overjoyed.
"Finally, I can go home and report back. Xiaoyu will be very surprised if she knows we signed a big order."
Li Dahui nodded: "Yes, with this order, the workshop can make money again."
Lin Yuan rubbed his hands together: "I wonder how much salary they'll pay us?"
