Zhang Xudong met with the children and then said goodbye and left Xiangyang Brigade.
After returning to the county town this time, Zhang Xudong really stayed at home for a few days.
After everyone came to see them, they thought they were still sad about the disappearance of their family, so they didn't disturb them too much.
In fact, he and He Jingxian have always taken time to deal with food in the space.
The Space Supermarket is updated every five days, and Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian, the two money-loving people, never missed a single opportunity.
I have cleared the space dozens of times in the past six months.
If the space wasn't much larger, it would have been full long ago.
"Brother Dong, when the country no longer has a shortage of food, we really shouldn't do this job anymore. It's more tiring than fighting."
After changing the bag of the last bag of flour, He Jingxian said while wiping the sweat off her face.
"After the shopping mall in Gangcheng opens, we'll only trade in items without trademarks. We'll forget about trademarked items because they're too much trouble."
"Brother Dong, don't we open a factory in Gangcheng? We can make instant noodles, biscuits, and canned food."
“No, we are not short of money now, so there is no need to pay taxes to them.
Once the mainland opens up, we will open all these factories domestically.
We will also take over the beverage market and let those foreign companies go home and rest.
These must become our own national brands, without any foreign flavor.
It’s better to be assured that these food and drinks are in our own hands.
This saves us from the people who make money from us while doing things to cheat us.
Things like digging holes in the fields to make sauerkraut and that kind of bullshit shouldn't happen."
Zhang Xudong said as he sealed his pocket.
"So what have we been able to do in the past ten years? Just to get by all day?
In fifteen years’ time, we’ll be over thirty.”
Zhang Xudong said helplessly: "If you want to do it, go and open up more wasteland and grow more crops.
Or you can tinker with computers, programs or integrated circuits.
Anyway, don’t even think about opening a factory.
Even if we do it in the name of the collective, we will inevitably end up entangled in a bunch of property rights lawsuits.
If things go wrong, we might as well go to jail. So, we might as well just stay like this.
Anyway, if you ask me to do something related to the planned economy, I really can't do it.
It would be better to be like now, go out when there is something to do, and stay at home when there is nothing to do, so much less trouble.
We still have five years of schooling left. If you're really bored, just go to school.
We are about to take the high school entrance exam, so we have to register in advance. We must not let the school forget about us."
He Jingxian listened and said in boredom:
"My parents should be in Jiayin County. I'll have to go there after I take the exam."
“If you’re worried about them, let’s go to Jiayin tonight and take a look at them secretly.
I also need to contact Sister Fang and tell her about my second uncle.
It's really troublesome that I can't write a letter or talk about this on the phone.
My second uncle wants her to go to San Francisco. But if she gets together with your brother, I think it will be difficult."
“It’s all a mess, there are so many things going on.
I can't do the things I want to do, but there are a lot of things I don't want to do.
Just these grains, plus the miscellaneous grains, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., can they be more than 300 tons?
Even if we calculate it at $80 per ton, the total value is only more than $20,000.
It's really not worth it for the two of us to tinker with it for several days."
He Jingxian said sullenly as she sorted out the flour bag.
Zhang Xudong was delighted when she heard this and said with a smile, "You've become a rich woman now, and you don't care about these small amounts of money anymore."
"Pa pa pa" Zhang Xudong wanted to say something when he heard the sound of someone knocking on the gate.
"Who is this? It's time for dinner soon. Isn't he rushing to get here?" He Jingxian complained.
"Let's go and take a look. I'm afraid that the old Taoist priest is here too much."
Zhang Xudong said this, cleaned up his clothes and went out first.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was indeed the Taoist priest standing outside.
"Master Dao, have you lost weight? Why are you almost as thin as a stick?"
"Okay, stop making fun of me.
Who can be as comfortable as you, going around having fun under the pretext of looking for someone?"
The old Taoist said in a low voice after walking into the yard.
Zhang Xudong closed the courtyard gate and invited the Taoist priest into the house.
"Jing is here too. Where have you been playing in the past two months?" the old Taoist asked when he saw He Jingxian.
"I'm in Harbin. I haven't been anywhere. I'm back to take the exam."
He Jingxian answered while pouring a bowl of water for the old Taoist.
"No one would believe your nonsense." The old Taoist said with a sneer.
"Okay, Master Dao, you don't have to come over if you have nothing to do. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhang Xudong looked at the old Taoist with disdain and said something.
"Look at your expression. I'm here for a good reason. I'm here to give you a reward." The old Taoist took a sip of water.
"Reward? What reward?" Zhang Xudong asked puzzledly.
"It's the reward for those big iron lumps you brought from the north.
Our people have almost finished their research, and soon there will be big fireworks going off in the Gobi Desert.
This is two years earlier than originally expected.
Our country will be stronger from now on and no longer have to fear the threats of imperialism. This is all thanks to you.”
"It was fixed so quickly? Amazing, really amazing. Those senior scientists are the real heroes."
