In 1978, the clarion call for reform and opening up was sounded. Now in 1977, the policy has been relaxed. At least the autonomy of state-owned enterprises has been significantly improved.
Control over the black market is not as strict as before. Many places, especially coastal cities, have long turned a blind eye to it.
Ji Wanqing said considerately, "It's okay. You've worked hard in the countryside before. You should take this opportunity to have a good rest and take good care of your body."
Yu Jia took the opportunity to say, "Yes, my parents and grandma were very happy when they knew I was not in the countryside. They sent me a lot of supplements, which I ate up."
Ji Wanqing was very understanding, "That's too much of a pity. By the way, I remember that the wife of Deputy Commander Qian across the street is pregnant, and she complained that our military region is remote and there is no good food to supplement. If you eat up the extra food, it would be a waste to give some to her."
"That's great!" Yu Jia didn't expect things to go so smoothly right from the start!
The two of them interacted with each other and their relationship became more harmonious. Before leaving, Yu Jia also told them the purpose of his visit, which was to invite Deputy Headquarters Commander Jiang and his wife to a wedding banquet on the second floor of the headquarters this weekend.
Although they had held the ceremony once in their hometown, their comrades in the army wanted to invite them to share in the joy.
"Okay, I'll come then."
Ji Wanqing smiled and saw the person off to the door.
Here it's like on a train, once the transaction is complete everyone leaves.
She planned to wait for Yu Jia to get the reselling business up and running, and when there were more customers, she would sneak in to do some buying and selling, and stand out.

The individual combat portable tank missile was successfully developed after 52 days, and an excellent answer was delivered ahead of schedule.
The speed of scientific research and the experimental results have far exceeded expectations!
Chief Engineer Xiao has been walking with a breeze these past two days, smiling at everyone he meets. When one of his subordinates broke a part due to shaking hands, he only criticized him gently and told them to be more careful next time.
"Xiao Ji, come to my office."
Ji Wanqing had just had two days off when he suddenly realized that he was being dragged to work as a donkey again. He quickly took off his lab coat and put on a coat. "Brother Xiao, I didn't sleep well these past two days and I feel dizzy, so I'm leaving get off work first. We can talk about anything tomorrow."
"Hey!" Chief Engineer Xiao raised his eyes and saw Ji Wanqing, who seemed to be lurking behind him, disappearing in a flash.
He was holding the registration form for the National Military Science Competition, feeling both angry and amused, so he simply took a pen and filled out the form for her.
I just informed her and had no intention of asking for her opinion.
On the way home, Ji Wanqing bumped into Su Xiu and Ji Xin's mother who were walking towards her, and only then did she realize that they had come.
The two people on the opposite side saw her as if they had seen a big evil tyrant who had been pardoned for ten evil deeds. They lowered their heads obediently and walked away quickly, not daring to stay for even a second longer.
Ji Wanqing was satisfied with their performance.
You see, the hard fist is the real truth. Once someone is beaten into submission, he will subconsciously feel fear, just like a dog seeing a stun gun.
"Mom, I want to eat sweet and sour spare ribs." When Ji Xinbao saw his second sister, he recalled the time when he went to eat her leftovers, and his mouth started watering.
"Why eat spareribs? They're all bones and no meat. They're not delicious." Su Xiu refused without thinking and took Ji Xinbao to the state-owned vegetable market to buy half a piece of meat.
After returning home, because Yan Xiaohu had a fight at school, Aunt Yan was asked by the teacher to go to school and had not returned yet. Su Xiu quickly stewed the meat in the pot and looked at the door anxiously.
It was almost evening when Ji Xiaorou came in breathlessly.
"How is it? Did you receive it?"
Ji Xiaorou held the money and certificate in her hand, as well as the certificate issued by the troops, and quietly hid in the room, revealing the brand new reunion wrapped in an envelope.
"I received it. The leader who issued it was my comrade Yan Chong. He saw that I was pregnant and quickly arranged for me to get it done."
Su Xiu was very happy and said, "Okay, okay! Hide it quickly, don't let the old hag find it."
Ji Xiaorou put the money away and went outside to eat meat with her brother and mother. After the meat was eaten, she quickly washed the pots and bowls and opened the window to ventilate the meat smell.
"… Just beat them up, they still dare to bully you! Don't be afraid, your father has sacrificed his life for the country, if any of the leaders dare to embarrass us orphans and widows, just do it for us!"
The sound of Aunt Yan's cursing was getting closer and closer. When she returned home and saw the cold pot and hot stove in the kitchen, she knew that the three thieves in the house had eaten.
"You damn bitch has been eating and drinking for free in my house for days and now she's using my rice and oil and won't even leave me a bowl of rice for the night! What are you still doing in our house? Get out of here!"
Su Xiu just loves to cry in front of men, but she is actually very strong in fighting. "Mother-in-law, let's talk about this! As a mother, I feel sorry for my daughter who is pregnant, widowed, and bullied by her evil mother-in-law. I rushed here to take care of my daughter and son-in-law. How dare I leave her here alone!"
"You bastard, who are you talking nonsense about? I know how good I am to that girl in front of me. What kind of person is Ji Xiaorou? Is it worth it for me to be nice to her?! I tell you, tomorrow you should take your burden and get out of here quickly, otherwise I will go to the army to complain!"
Ji Xiaorou was not willing to give in. "Mom, you know, right? Generally, after a martyr dies, the army will take this house back. The leaders sympathized with me because I was pregnant and tired from running around, so they allowed us to live here. If it weren't for me, you and Yan Xiaohu would have been kicked out long ago. How can you still be here to boss me around!"
Aunt Yan screamed, "I've lived here for so long, and yet I still have to look at the face of a jerk like you. My son is dead now, and you, a mortal, dare to show your teeth in front of a mother-in-law like me! I'm going to tear your mouth off!"
The accumulated contradictions in the past few days broke out. No matter how hard they tried to maintain the superficial peace, they started to fight with real swords and guns!
It was too much for Auntie Guo Yan to fight two people at the same time.
Su Xiu took the opportunity to unlock the door and yelled, "Mother-in-law, no matter what, Xiaorou is pregnant with your precious baby. Even if you like her, you can't hit her! What if the baby is aborted?"
The heart-wrenching sound quickly attracted the neighbors. Aunt Yulan hurried over to pull the people apart and protect Ji Xiaorou. "Aunt Yan! What are you doing? She is worried about Yan Chong's child! What will happen to the child if you continue to hit her like this!"
"I only have one grandson, Xiaohu! I don't recognize the one in her belly! Who knows who she committed adultery with to get this bastard!" Aunt Yan screamed.
"This is crazy!" Su Xiu cried, "My little Rou Ji just got married and became a widow, and she was splashed with dirty water by her mother-in-law. She is deliberately trying to kill my daughter and grandson!"
Feng Yun had been flattered by Ji Xiaorou these days and felt very comfortable. Seeing her little follower being bullied like this, she naturally started to speak up, "I say, old lady, you are a big shot. After your son died, you tried to please your daughter-in-law and even scolded her at every turn. I'm really afraid that no one will see you off when you get sick and old!"
Aunt Yan stiffened her neck and said, "I have other children and grandchildren. Do I need a bitch like her to serve me?"
