Sure enough, after returning to the village, the seven people closed three deals, which increased the tofu shop's sales. The brigade leader and the party secretary were overjoyed.
But when she heard that she would have to pay money, the accountant couldn't bear to part with it.
He Wan discussed this matter with the village secretary and the brigade leader.
“Team leader, Party secretary, which do you think is more worthwhile: a long-term sales channel or a single yuan? If it weren’t for their active efforts in generating revenue for the village, these increased sales would never reach us. A single deal can bring us several hundred yuan in benefits. Giving them a single yuan will motivate these young men, and we won’t have to worry about not having a market for our products in the future.”
The Party Secretary looked at He Wan and smiled: "Comrade He, your educated mind is different from those girls in the village. What you said makes sense."
"Trading one dollar for several hundred dollars in profit isn't a bad deal, don't you think, Old Chen?"
Captain Chen no longer objected; his son was also on the list, which would benefit him both personally and professionally.
Li Guai's abacus clicked away, and the more he calculated, the more worthwhile it seemed. In the end, he didn't care about the few dollars anymore.
He Wan had the tickets that several people wanted, and she asked the brigade leader to convert them into cash and then exchange them for grain.
Li Guai factored in the cost of the grain and thought to himself: "It will take at least a month to break even, or even a month, either way I'll make a profit."
This novel event caused quite a stir in the village.
He could earn a dollar and a ticket for each business he brought to the village, and many villagers went to the brigade leader's house to ask about it.
Everyone wants to earn this one dollar.
Two young men from the educated youth settlement, Zhang Deming and Zhang Jianjun, came over to ask her how she did it.
Of course, that all happened the next day.
After returning to the educated youth settlement, He Wan immediately gathered Su Ranran and the others together and relayed what Li Weidong and the others had said that day, warning them to be careful: "Especially Sister Cuicao."
Xue Zhenzhen said, "Chen Lemin is a pretty good person. He's good-looking and the son of the brigade leader. He might even take over the brigade leader's position in the future. If we have no hope of returning to the city and we're getting old, it's not good to not get married."
Su Ranran tugged at Zhang Cuicao's clothes and said, "I think you can consider it. Chen Qing and Liang Shurui are already together, so you shouldn't think about him anymore. Even if it's not Chen Lemin, Wang Xiaorong and the others from the educated youth station are not bad either."
He Wan knew they would be fooled by Chen Lemin's appearance, so she quickly said, "Some people can only know a person's face but not their heart. Don't be fooled by Chen Lemin's responsible and eloquent appearance in front of outsiders. In fact, he looks down on us educated youth behind our backs."
If you really get together with him and get married, he'll find fault with you in every way, constantly complaining and making you feel worthless. He might not even go back to your parents' home with you; in fact, he might not let you go back at all.
Xue Zhenzhen said, "He's our group leader, and he's usually very nice to people. How come I didn't notice?"
He Wan raised an eyebrow and said definitively, "I've discovered it."
Su Ranran asked, "He Zhiqing, where did you see that?"
"When I first came here, during the autumn harvest, I accidentally saw him looking at Zhang Jianjun with a very disdainful look and saying a lot of sarcastic things. At the time, I thought he looked down on Zhang Jianjun's work and didn't pay much attention to it."
This winter, after you all went back home, Liang Shurui asked him for help. He was all smiles and pleasantries on the surface, but his expression changed the moment he turned away. Although it was silent, his gloomy face was truly unsettling.
Oh, and another time, I saw her from afar after helping Sister Zhenzhen, and then on the way, she was talking to Zhang Aimin about how pretentious you were, basically saying bad things about you.
"What? He actually spoke ill of me to Zhang Aimin? What did he say?"
He Wan quietly apologized to herself. She couldn't be blamed for lying; it was all a white lie.
If Zhang Cuicao didn't speak ill of Chen Lemin, she would be doomed for life if she really fell for him.
She's always willing to help strangers, let alone an older sister from the educated youth settlement.
We can't just stand by and watch Zhang Cuicao jump into the fire.
She has now deviated from her original path in the book, but it's unknown whether Zhang Cuicao will follow suit.
