After hearing what He Jingxian said, Zhang Xudong shook his head like a rattle.
"I'm not going to Beidu right now. Life here is so free and comfortable.
Who knows what will happen when we get to Beidu.
Besides, I promised the kids that I would be waiting for them at home.
Could I bring them all to Beidu? That wouldn't be possible; it would attract too much attention.
However, you must go to Beidu.
The first thing we need to do is to tidy up our courtyard.
Let your uncle, aunt, your brother, and my sister live there from now on.
If no one lives in that yard, it might become unpreservable in the future.
The second thing is, please help me find someone.
This man is now in his forties. His name is Zhang Jubai and his wife is Su Yueying.
Their house should be in Xidan, but I’m not sure exactly where it is.
Mr. Zhang comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and should be a professor at a traditional Chinese medicine college now.
They are my grandparents who adopted me in my previous life.
Please help me find them first. I will find a chance to repay their kindness."
He Jingxian nodded and said:
"I can go to the north, but you have to behave yourself here and don't mess around with other girls.
Also, keep your eyes open and don't get tricked like your dad did."
Zhang Xudong said helplessly after hearing this:
"Don't worry, there are many more beautiful women in Hong Kong than here. Have you ever seen me flirt with anyone?"
Sister, just go ahead and do it. I, your brother, will hold on."
"Then what about our business? When should we start?
I predict that this business of ours will be profitable for a long time. The sooner we start, the sooner we can make money."
After hearing Zhang Xudong's assurance, He Jingxian immediately showed her money-grubbing look again.
"Let's talk about it after school starts. To do this, I have to stay in Hong Kong and San Francisco for a few days.
It’s not suitable for us to disappear for too long now. Let’s find an opportunity after school starts.
We will have to earn this money sooner or later, no one else can take it away from us, so what are you afraid of?"
In the afternoon, He Jingxian called her parents and told them about her job transfer and asked them to prepare in advance.
He Jingxian was in a hurry to go to Beidu to clean up the house, so she went to Beidu early the next morning.
Zhang Xudong was also busy and started to make a sales plan for well water.
After just one day of rest, Zhang Dazhuang drove a mule cart to bring the five children here.
In addition to the children's luggage, there were two bags of white flour, a basket of eggs, and various fresh vegetables in the car.
"Uncle Dazhuang, aren't you humiliating me?
I let a few kids come here to stay for a few days, and you brought food with you. Are you afraid that I won’t let them have enough to eat?
I want these fresh vegetables, but you have to take the flour and eggs back later.
Your family can only raise two chickens. Are you bringing all the eggs you saved?
What about the rest of the family? You can’t do things this way.”
Zhang Dazhuang said cheerfully: "These things have not been taken back yet.
Not only are there things from our five companies, but also things brought to you by the three companies that have received temporary worker quotas.
I can't take it back with me, so you just keep it.
This is a small token of our appreciation. If you don’t accept it, they’ll think you’re disrespectful.”
While they were talking, the kids were busy unloading the car.
After they carried all the things into the house, they pushed Zhang Xudong into the yard with a smile on their faces.
Zhang Xudong had no choice but to follow them.
"Uncle, I'll keep the rest, you take the eggs back.
This thing is too precious for everyone.”
"Just keep it for you and the children. Every family in our village has four or five chickens now, so we can save enough to lay eggs."
Zhang Xudong asked nervously, "Uncle, isn't each family only allowed to raise two chickens?
If you raise so many, your tails will be cut off."
Zhang Dazhuang winked cunningly and said, "Every family is allowed to raise two chickens.
But the production team gave each family two target chickens.
These task chickens belong to the collective, and all members must hand them in after raising them.
The brigade collects these chickens and sells them to purchasing stations, contributing to the country's meat and poultry supply."
Zhang Xudong was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Is this even possible?"
Zhang Dazhuang said: "Why not? If there are quest pigs, why can't there be quest chickens?
I even went to the purchasing station specifically for this matter.
The purchasing station was very supportive after hearing this. They said there was nothing wrong as long as the chickens were sold to the state.
They also signed a purchasing agreement with our team, saying that all the goods, no matter how much, must be handed over to the purchasing station.
I asked them to give our team a task order for raising chickens.
Now, our village’s mission chicken has found its way.”
Zhang Xudong gave a thumbs up and said, “Uncle, Gao, this move of yours is really brilliant.
But don’t other villages follow our example? Are they just going to watch our people eat eggs?
Zhang Dazhuang said contemptuously, "They want to follow suit, but can they do it?
You see, after the autumn harvest last year, our village has basically been concerned about having enough food and clothing.
But what about other villages? People were still starving, so how could they raise chickens?
Besides, even if they can raise them, do they have chicks?
If your grandmother hadn't given us those dozens of chicks, we wouldn't know when we'd be able to raise chickens again in our village."
