It was the weekend when Lin Shuying's letter arrived in Sihe Village. Chen Chunhua and Lin Guoqing, like two young pioneers newly donning red scarves, stood respectfully beside the truck, fingers pressed together against their thighs, listening to Qi Jinzhou's instructions.
Yes, they are learning to drive.
After returning from Shanghai, it was just time for the mushroom house to start a new round of sowing.
The planting area is expanding. In two months, we will be able to harvest a large number of mushrooms.
Over at the poultry farm, with Liu Ni there, the chicken shed No. 3 is already full. In a few days, the 3,000 chicks hatched in April will start laying eggs. By the end of the year, more than 10,000 chickens will be laying eggs. Chen Chunhua is happy just thinking about it.
Chicken House No. 1 has been redesignated to house hatching and brooding chicks. Currently, 3,000 chicks hatched in July are being raised there. If there are more, they won't be able to keep them, and these chicks will likely have to be sold when they reach 90 days old.
Liu Ni applied to build another chicken coop, but was temporarily rejected by Chen Chunhua. So she turned to ducks, determined to fill the duck coop as well!
However, since we only started researching artificial insemination in July, the number of ducks in the duck house hasn't increased. So far, only 300 eggs have been placed in the incubator, and Liu Ni is watching over them!
The purchase price of poultry and eggs has increased significantly this year. In just six months, this market has already achieved sales of .36 yuan!
Liuni alone received more than 5,000 yuan. Now if you really let her live and sleep with chickens and ducks for 360 days, she would be very happy!
In addition to the originally agreed salary dividends, Chen Chunhua also gave Qi Jinzhou 50 yuan every month. Although he refused to accept it at first, there was no reason not to give it away since she was determined to give it.
The reason was that they were producing nearly 200 kilograms of eggs every day, and there was also a mushroom farm over there! It was no longer feasible for her to deliver them on a tricycle.
Qi Jinzhou had to get up early every morning to bring it to her. But it wasn't a big deal in the long run, as she had a regular job after all!
You still have to buy a car and learn to drive!
The earlier you learn, the earlier you know; the earlier you buy, the earlier you enjoy.
It was now legal for private car purchases to be made, but the only problem was getting a driver's license. She spoke to Lin Guoqing about this, hoping to ask Xiao Qi to teach her on his free day.
After she said that, Lin Guoqing also became interested and said that he also wanted to learn. After they both learned it, they could go there whenever they needed it.
Qi Jinzhou didn't care. He could take care of one or two children. But the key was to follow what Chen Chunhua said and have them come to learn from him every week during his rest time. Qi Jinzhou felt that this was a bit unreliable.
"Learning to drive is not that simple. Driver apprentices in our factory basically need to take six months off from work for specialized training, because the exam content includes both theoretical and road tests. The theoretical exam covers traffic rules, as well as knowledge about car maintenance, repair, mechanical principles, etc.
Just knowing the theory isn't enough. Didn't you say you wanted to buy a truck? Don't look at me driving around all day. Actually, repairing a truck takes longer than driving it. It breaks down every few days, so you have to learn how to fix it.
If you and your uncle really want to learn to drive, how long do you have to study once a week?"
Qi Jinzhou sighed. What he said was true.
"Oh, and one more thing. Since the policy of relaxing car purchase restrictions came out last year, the number of people learning to drive has suddenly increased. The Vehicle Administration recently announced that the driver's license and the car must match. The number of drivers in each unit is based on the actual number of vehicles owned. One vehicle can only have two drivers. Units without vehicles are not allowed to learn to drive."
Chen Chunhua touched Qi Jinzhou's truck, patted the iron sheet of the carriage and said.
"I know, but there's always a process... Your uncle and I can study the theory at night, but the main thing is the practical operation that requires your attention. We'll try to learn as much as we can about car repairs at night. As for whether we actually have a car... That's not a big deal. Just buy one."
Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Lin Guoqing had already asked about it. A 121 truck, with a canopy installed on the truck bed, cost 12,000 yuan, which was perfectly acceptable to her. It was only a month or two's income! It was a steal!
Qi Jinzhou was choked by her wealth and power. As expected, she had to be his aunt.
"Okay! I'll get the books for you tomorrow. You can also let me fix the car first. Once you buy the car, I'll help you apply for the registration."
"Hey! Good! Thank you, Jinzhou!"
"Why are you being so polite to me!" Qi Jinzhou smiled and waved his hand.
That day, Chen Chunhua still caught two chickens and asked Lin Yulan to take them back, saying that it was to thank Qi Jinzhou.
Lin Yulan said that we were all family so why should we be so polite, and she kept praising Jinzhou for being such a good kid, and she couldn't stop smiling.
In the six months since Qi Jinzhou and Sanni got married, their family life seems to have inexplicably become more lively.
The TV, sofa and other things he brought when he came were all placed in the main room, and their old house suddenly looked like it was inlaid with jade.
The younger ones used to run out after dinner, preferring to go to their uncle's house to do their homework rather than stay home. But now they eat at home, do their homework, and then squeeze together on the sofa to watch TV.
Her husband, Ma, used to be happy to go to the office to receive any guests, but now he comes home all day long, saying that the conditions at home are better.
And her parents-in-law, they used to always have gloomy faces and would disagree with you on everything, but now when Xiao Qi sits there, they agree with everything!
Lin Yulan is now waiting for Sanni to give her grandchildren so that she can also fulfill her wish of being a grandmother. That would be even better!
"Okay, I'll take it back first. Xiao Qi likes chicken soup, so I have to go make it for him early... If you have anything, just come to his house and find him!"
"Got it!" Shen Chunhua smiled and turned into the incubation room, calling out to the technical backbone inside in a low voice.
"Liuni, your mom is making chicken soup tonight. You should go back early to eat. Just ask someone to keep an eye on you here. It's been half a year. Let them keep an eye on you for half a day or a whole day, there will definitely be no problem!"
Liu Ni was still writing something in her notebook. Without even looking up, she said, "No, this is a duck, which is a little different from a chicken. I haven't figured out the specific operation rules yet. This is the first batch, so we still have to keep an eye on it."
These are her gods of wealth, and she has to worship them.
Chen Chunhua was helpless, OK! Just a penny worth of string!
"Okay, I'll ask your mother to bring you a bowl later."
"Okay, thank you, auntie!"
