Hao Caiyun excitedly waved the newspaper in her hand as soon as she saw her daughter and future son-in-law.
"Yaya, Xiao An, come quick! Your brigade is in the newspaper!"
Zhuang Zhimeng handed the spoon in her hand to An Qingbai.
"Brother Qingbai, stir it a few more times, and the dumpling soup will be ready."
"Okay, I understand."
An Qingbai also made sure to greet Hao Caiyun and her husband.
"Hello, Auntie. Hello, Uncle."
"Hmm, Xiao An, how did you get here? It's snowing today, and you still made a special trip."
An Qingbai answered while stirring the dumpling soup.
"I came here on my second uncle's bicycle. My second uncle's house is not far from here."
Hao Caiyun nodded.
"That's good. You can leave this afternoon if it stops snowing."
"Okay, Auntie."
Zhuang Zhimeng took the People's Daily from her mother.
Zhuang Xingzhou laughed as he thought of what he had read in the newspaper.
"Yaya, you're amazing! You've become a pig-raising expert."
Look at what's said above. After many experiments, Zhuang Zhimeng, a former educated youth, discovered the most suitable feed for pigs.
The pigs raised not only grew a lot of weight but also gave birth to twenty piglets.
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled too.
"Haha, Big Flower is quite prolific. I did provide the fodder to the team, and I also added some nutritious ingredients."
An Qingbai's dumpling soup was ready, and he came over to read the newspaper with Zhizhi.
"Brother Qingbai, look, the name of the Anyang Brigade sounds so impressive. They even said they'd like to interview me later!"
"This time our Anyang brigade has become famous; it's even in newspapers all over the country."
Now everyone knows about him, and I bet Uncle Baogen is incredibly excited!
An Baogen was too excited to continue; his phone had been ringing non-stop ever since he was in the newspaper.
They were all asking about fodder, and he replied to them all: "I'm not with the team right now, we'll talk when they get back."
An Baogen irritably pinched his brow and looked helplessly at An Zaimin.
“In the people, you know, these people, they're always trying to climb the social ladder, they'll come knocking on your door if there's anything good.”
They're so afraid our brigade will develop better than theirs, it's driving me crazy!
An Zaimin smiled.
"I don't think it's a bad thing."
"Oh? Tell me in detail, why isn't it a bad thing?"
An Zaimin held the enamel mug, blew on it, took a sip of hot water, and then spoke.
"Haven't you been thinking about side hustles? How about we develop Zhuang Zhiqing's fodder business?"
Why don't we talk to her and offer her a share of the profits? This is a business that will continue to grow.
Now that the newspapers are reporting it, everyone knows our brigade has this kind of fodder. If this is developed, wouldn't it become a unique feature of our brigade?
An Baogen clapped his hands as he listened.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of developing this forage?"
Alright! It has to be you, right?
"We'll talk to Zhuang Zhiqing when she gets back."
Zhuang Zhimeng had no idea that a business opportunity had come her way; she was still at home having dinner with her parents.
"Dad, Mom, try this shredded pork with garlic sauce. This was made by Qingbai, and the rest I made."
The braised beef and peanuts were bought by Brother Qingbai.
Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun looked toward the dining table.
"Okay, let's try it. It looks pretty good."
"I must say, Xiao An's dishes look beautiful too, even better than mine."
Zhuang Zhijun covered his mouth and chuckled.
Hao Caiyun glared at her youngest son.
"why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, Mom. Please enjoy your food. My sister and brother-in-law each have their own unique cooking styles."
Hao Caiyun glared at him with a smile before picking up a piece of food with her chopsticks and putting it in her mouth.
"Mmm, it tastes really good. Xiao An's cooking is almost as good as Ya Ya's."
“I often cook for Zhizhi, and I learned these dishes from her.”
Zhuang Xingzhou looked at An Qingbai while eating.
"By the way, Xiao An, go back and tell your family that your aunt and I will treat you all to Peking duck in a couple of days when we have some free time."
An Qingbai laughed as soon as he heard that.
“You and my second uncle have the same idea. He said he will make time in a few days to treat both our families to hot pot.”
Zhuang Zhimeng held up two fingers and gestured.
"Now we can get together twice."
Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun also laughed.
"Alright, then we'll get together twice!"
"Okay, then let's get together twice."
After finishing the meal, Zhuang Zhijun took the initiative to wash the dishes.
"I need to call your grandpa and tell him you're in the newspaper again, so he can be happy too."
Zhuang Zhimeng looked at her father, who was so excited he couldn't wait to show off to his grandfather.
"Haha, Dad, maybe Grandpa has already seen it."
Zhuang Xingzhou shook his head firmly.
"Impossible, he would call immediately if he knew."
Zhuang Xingzhou was talking when the phone rang, and he immediately laughed.
"I guess this call was from your grandfather."
Then he couldn't wait to grab the phone.
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai were both amused by his reaction.
Hao Caiyun smiled and pointed to the gifts in the cabinet, asking her daughter.
"Did Xiao An bring all of these?"
"Yes, Mom, Qingbai bought a lot of things!"
"Xiao An, don't spend so much next time you come. You've bought way too much!"
"Auntie, I just thought it was my first time visiting, so I bought a little too much. Next time I come, I will definitely buy less."
"Alright, then your uncle and I will accept it. That way, I'll have something to say if anyone asks me about it later."
