Wen Zhichao said, "Of course. There are too many stubborn old men. There are too few people like Uncle Chunfu."
Xia Ruzheng thought secretly, my father is not here at this time, it is useless for you to flatter him!
"When outsiders like us arrive in a new city, do you know what the first thing to do is?"
Xia Ruzheng's mind froze: "Find a house to live in?"
"That's also a thing, but it's not this."
"What is that?"
Wen Zhichao said, "Of course, we need to find out the situation over there, what the policies are, who is in charge of that area, whose sphere of influence is it, who is doing the same business, what kind of people are they, and so on."
Xia Ruzheng had never really thought about this kind of thing. When she opened the store, the market was relatively standardized, and there weren't many gangsters coming to ask you for protection money. So when she heard Wen Zhichao say this, Xia Ruzheng was a little stunned and nodded involuntarily.
When the market first opened, those with talent could see the benefits, and since they had some advantages over the average person, they were already waiting to reap the benefits. These people set the rules, and while these rules wouldn't last long, for now, you really had no choice but to follow them.
"I didn't think about that," Xia Ruzheng admitted honestly.
Wen Zhichao said, "The fact that you can think of something to do to make money is already better than many people."
Xia Ruzheng felt that his hurt heart was not comforted, but felt even worse.
Wen Zhichao said that he originally thought it would be better to run a food factory, but now he feels that Xia Ruzheng's idea is better. He can start by making clothes. After all, selling pirated tapes is not sustainable, so it cannot be a long-term strategy.
The two of them got more and more interested in each other as they talked, and it was not until Xia Chunfu came back after dark that he noticed the time.
"Uncle Chunfu is back. It's getting late, right? I should go back."
Xia Chunfu said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's already dark, so it won't hurt to sit a little longer."
Wen Zhichao didn't leave, as he still wanted to stay in the warmth here.
When Xia Chunfu came back, the two of them did not continue the previous topic, but instead talked about the village meeting.
"It's still the same few things, about who gets to move in and who gets to move out. Now everyone wants the land, so the arguments are getting intense."
This is relatively easy to understand. Whoever marries a new bride or has a baby will get more land. If someone dies or a daughter gets married, they will have to take up land. How to distribute the land here will determine who gets more and who gets less. The land will not exactly match the number of people, so who gets more land and who gets less land will be another dispute.
Wen Zhichao also knew this, but he had never wanted to get involved, so he couldn't say anything.
However, since his family was not involved, Xia Chunfu had nothing to worry about and started talking about other things. After a while, Liu Guoqing and Xia Ruqian also came out. Both of them looked very happy, and their world of two made them very satisfied.
Although the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, spring plowing preparations have already begun before that. With the arrival of spring, the warm air blows across the air, making it even more precious for those who have endured the cold winter. Besides being busy with spring plowing, the Xia family also has to deal with Xia Ruqian's wedding.
Although Xia Chunfu started preparing the dowries for his two daughters early, when the time came, he felt that he was missing something, so he asked people to buy them everywhere, buying two at a time, and even prepared Xia Ruzheng's dowry.
Because of this, Xia Ruqian would always laugh at Xia Ruzheng: "Look how worried Daddy is about you, he's even started preparing your dowry!"
Xia Ruzheng glared at her several times. This girl was really going to heaven.
The Liu family also attached great importance to this marriage with the Xia family. The three major items were almost prepared, and the new house was also decorated. They specially asked Liu Guoqing to ask Xia Ruqian for her opinion before decorating it, which shows that they valued this daughter-in-law.
Xia Ruzheng was happy for Xia Ruqian, but Xia Ruqian was worried about Xia Ruzheng. When would her sister be able to find a brother-in-law that suited her? Her own happiness made her sister look even more pitiful in comparison.
Xia Ruzheng was speechless about Xia Ruqian's thoughts. This was not Xia Ruqian's fault. Why did she have to make him unhappy like this?
Xia Ruqian said seriously, "Sister, please don't be so careless. Let me tell you, my mother-in-law asked me about you. She said she has a nephew from her family, and maybe she can find him for you!"
