Chapter 088 Good Stuff
"I don't know if I can still bring some things to Heilongjiang Province. I heard that it starts to get cold in the fall in Heilongjiang Province. This winter will be hard."
There aren't that many good things in the army.
They now sleep under the same blankets and wear the same clothes.
Chi Hao is from Beijing. The winter in Beijing is cold, but he has heating at home!
There is no heating in the Army Academy in Heilongjiang Province. If he still covers himself with such a quilt in winter, he doesn't know how he will survive the temperature drop to minus forty degrees Celsius.
Someone nearby grinned and said in a thick Gansu accent, "Don't worry, they're already building heated kangs. They said we'll be able to live in them. The heated kangs in Heilongjiang are so warm, it won't be cold at all."
Gansu Province also has heated kangs. Most of their houses are built on the loess slopes, and they dig out houses underneath to keep them warm in winter and cool in summer.
For them, there is nothing to complain about as long as they have a heated kang to sleep on.
"It's okay to have a heated ondol. If it weren't for the heated ondol, we'd wake up in the middle of the night freezing cold."
Chi Hao had just finished speaking when whistles were heard outside. They finished the last bite of their meal and rushed out immediately.
What awaits them is more rigorous training and learning.
In June, Su Wan failed to contact Chen Yuan and celebrated her birthday on June 28th.
In July, her cousin and his brothers came to live with her, so she took them to Guangzhou and taught them how to do clothing wholesale.
In late July of the same year, Su Wan found a store in the small commodity market in Pengcheng, rented a three-story bungalow, and signed a ten-year agreement at a price of 4,800 yuan per year. The price would increase by 200 yuan every year thereafter.
In mid-August, Su Wan and his friends opened the first building materials store in Pengcheng, named Anjia Building Materials.
The original plan was to name it Sujia Building Materials, but Su Jianjun and others felt that Sujia Building Materials didn't sound good. After all, it was An Xin's home, so they simply called it Anjia Building Materials.
After Anjia Building Materials opened its doors, the sound of firecrackers could be heard everywhere.
Anjia Building Materials had a capital of 230,000 yuan, of which Su Wan held 25% of the shares, while the three brothers Su Jianjun each held 20%. Chen Xiang had less money, so he insisted on taking only 15% of the shares and participating in the daily management of the building materials store, while the two brothers Su Jianjun were responsible for the decoration.
Su Jianguo is responsible for the affairs of the clothing store. He is responsible for the expansion of the clothing store and its future operations.
Since Pengcheng was still developing, Su Wan wanted to take advantage of the momentum and slowly build up her business, but she didn't expect that the business would be much slower than she had imagined.
Most people come here to buy a bucket of paint or some tiles, which really tests one's sales skills.
Su Wan stayed in Pengcheng for a long time. She showed Chen Xiang and others how to sell in the store. It took her two months to teach them well. Then they started to receive decoration orders one after another.
The cost of decoration is not too high. Fortunately, they have their own store and goods, so the purchase price is lower.
In two months, the building materials store earned more than 20,000 yuan, while it only earned more than 10,000 yuan a month.
This amount of money was indeed a lot for them, but it was too little for Su Wan.
But she is not in a hurry. It is only 1983 now. She needs to gain a firm foothold in Shenzhen first, and then she can dominate the small commodity market in the future.
After slowly opening up the market, Su Jianjun began to take on some larger decoration projects. A boss from Hong Kong Island was doing real estate development in Pengcheng. He bought building materials from them and contracted the decoration work to the Su brothers.
Su Jianjun was naturally very happy. He immediately called home to ask if there were any other family brothers willing to come to Pengcheng to do the decoration, and he invited ten people at once.
Su Wan lent a lot of money to Su Jianjun. He had planned to open a clothing store in Pengcheng, but he gave up the idea.
For several months, she didn't receive any news from Chen Yuan.
He seemed to have disappeared into the ocean, with no echo at all.
By December, Su Wan couldn't bear it any longer and returned to the army.
She returned to the army and found the political commissar again.
The political commissar was caught red-handed and felt very embarrassed. He took a sip of tea from his enamel cup and then slowly said, "Comrade Su Wan, it's not that I don't want to help, but there really is no news from over there. If you miss Chen Yuan, if it doesn't bother you, you can go over there and see if they'll let you see him."
"Commander, it's been half a year already, and Chen Yuan has only been studying. You can't possibly not even give him a New Year's holiday, right?"
Su Wan spoke, her tone pleading, "Could you please call over there and see what they say?"
"I called a few days ago. If it was useful, I would definitely tell you, but I have no news now. They said that their students are studying hard and they can't let outsiders disturb their enthusiasm for learning. I..."
The political commissar has a guilty conscience!
He also didn't want to keep the young couple from seeing each other, but he had no way to disobey the orders from his superiors.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Comrade Su Wan, you're Chen Yuan's wife. You can still ask after you get there. It's been six months, after all. They shouldn't be preventing us from seeing people all the time. We can't do anything by calling them."
By the way, they will be able to graduate by April next year.
It is really tight to complete three years' course in one year.
The political commissar spoke earnestly, saying to Su Wan, "Comrade Su Wan, you know Chen Yuan went there to study. These students have to learn three years of knowledge in just one year, which is really not easy. I think the academy probably doesn't want to be disturbed. Why don't you wait a little longer?"
"So, is there any further notice about transferring him to another location?"
Hearing this, the political commissar also shook his head. "I really don't know about this. We haven't received any notification before the news comes out. Even if there is really going to be a notification, it will be after it is confirmed."
The political commissar didn't want to let them know the uncertain news.
The political commissar knows what to say and what not to say.
Seeing that the political commissar said nothing, Su Wan felt helpless.
She knew that the political commissar definitely didn't do it on purpose, but when she thought about how she had been waiting for Chen Yuan all this time, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
The New Year is almost here, and they haven’t come back yet. They say there’s no problem, but who knows!
Thinking of this, Su Wan looked at the political commissar and asked again, "Commander, has our Chen Yuan been reported for serious disciplinary violations? Otherwise, how could he be so invisible this time? You know that our Chen Yuan takes all tasks very seriously. He would definitely not do anything to betray the organization."
After she said this, even the political commissar's expression changed.
