"Heh, they got fired."
Ji Zhijun chuckled, then suddenly whispered in his ear, "I wonder what he did in private? Someone leaked it to the school, and they sent him back."
Ji Xiangjun narrowed his eyes. Just how serious must it be to make a college student have to return to school?
However, judging from Lin Haodong's figure today, although it was just a fleeting glimpse, he seemed to be in pretty good spirits.
"He didn't make a scene after he came back? He's willing to accept it? I thought he wouldn't be able to accept it?"
"Who says otherwise? He stayed at home for a month, refusing to go out and work. It wasn't until a few days ago when he found out that the agricultural machinery factory in the city was hiring that he finally cheered up."
Ji Xiangjun pursed his lips upon hearing this. How could someone like this be allowed to work in a factory? He should be left to live in the countryside until he dies.
He changed the subject: "Have Chen Jing and your younger sister sent any telegrams back?"
Mother Ji came out to greet them, carrying one child on her back and holding another in her arms. Upon hearing this, she was overjoyed and asked, "Xia sent a telegram? What did she say?"
Ji Xiangjun said, "My younger sister and Chen Jing sent me a telegram a week ago. My younger sister passed the preliminary test and will have her retest at the end of this month. She can come back after the retest."
As he was speaking, he suddenly saw the little baby in Ji's mother's arms tilting its head back, smiling at him with its teeth showing, and drool dripping from the corner of its mouth.
Ji Xiangjun couldn't help but laugh out loud, reaching out to wipe his drool: "Big brother, the child is drooling, is he hungry? Just in time, your second uncle bought you a bag of milk candy, go have some candy."
"You're so small, why are you eating candy? You only have two teeth left, don't let them get rotten."
Ji's mother slapped Ji Xiangjun's hand away: "How is your wife over there? Is she settling in?"
"What's there to be unaccustomed to? It's the same old thing I'm used to doing, but now I've been promoted and have more power."
As he spoke, he took the things he had brought back out of the bag: "Here, these four sets of clothes are spring outfits that Xiaoyu made for the two children."
"Mother, Xiaoyu also made two outfits for you. Do you like them?"
"Father's tea, the finest West Lake Longjing, let Father try some; Mother's honey, and these dried fish, dried shrimp, and dried mussels are also specialties from the seaside..."
As Ji Xiangjun spoke, he took out gifts. His mother watched as he pulled out package after package, and then looked at the clothes Sun Xiaoyu had specially prepared for the elders. She felt both happy and heartbroken.
"So much? You should save money even though you're making a lot. You don't have children yet; once you have children, there will be so many more expenses..."
Ji Zhijun nodded repeatedly, looking a little embarrassed.
The couple earned some money, but they still tried to save money wherever possible. Asking Zhang Hong to buy things for her sister-in-law and brother's wife felt like cutting off her own flesh.
Ji Xiangjun laughed dismissively without offering any explanation.
Since the workshop started making money, he no longer cares about such a small amount of money, let alone the box of good stuff in Sun Xiaoyu's hands.
The couple felt confident and were willing to spend more money on their brother and sister-in-law, and then they would leave the care of their two elderly parents to them.
Not long after, Secretary Ji returned, sat down in a chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the tea canister to take a sniff.
"Hmm, this smells good."
"Of course, this is Longjing tea before the rain. I specially asked the captain over there to save it for me."
Secretary Ji smiled and pulled out a can of tea and a packet of dried mussels from a pile of gifts: "Send some to your Uncle Chen as well. You just said that Chen Jing and the others called?"
Ji Xiangjun nodded and sat down to chat with his father: "I made a phone call and sent a telegram. My little sister passed the preliminary test and has to take the second test in half a month. Chen Jing wants to check out the market there. If possible, he wants to develop his career there in the second half of the year."
According to Ji Xiangjun's thinking, what problems could there be in the market in Beijing?
Beijing is the capital of the country, and its consumption power is undoubtedly among the highest in the country.
We are still in the era of planned economy, and resources cannot keep up with people's needs. As long as we find the right direction, there will be no problem with development.
My biggest concern right now is whether my younger sister can pass the college entrance exam in July. If she doesn't pass, everything else will be for nothing.
Secretary Ji knew about the three men's business, and upon hearing this, he shook his head with concern: "They're unfamiliar with the place and the people there, how can this be an easy thing to do?"
"What are you worried about? Chen Jing is quite capable. I've prepared a lot of industrial vouchers for him. Now it's up to you, little sister."
Ji Xiangjun was unconvinced and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what's the deal with that Lin Haodong?"
"I've offended someone, what else can I do?"
Secretary Ji chuckled a few times, then shook his head with a faint smile after a while: "After suffering a great loss, I've learned my lesson this time. I went to the city to take an exam at the agricultural machinery factory, and even hooked up with the daughter of the grain station manager. Finally, I managed to get a job."
It's good that he goes out to work. After he goes to work, it would be best to take Granny Lin out with him. With the mother and son gone, the brigade will be less polluted and filthy.
He pondered for a while: "Did Chen Jing say where he plans to develop the business and how he intends to set up workshops there?"
Ji Xiangjun shook his head: "It's not that urgent. He just asked me to ship a few hundred pieces of spring clothing to Beijing to test the market."
...
Chen Jing asked Wang Yuan and the others for help two or three times. Seeing that these hooligans were not the kind of people who would just loaf around, he sent a telegram to Ji Xiangjun.
Ji Xiangjun returned to the commune, first checked the inventory, handed over the orders from the department store and Song Laoda, and then packed up the remaining six or seven hundred items and shipped them to the capital. After that, he sent a telegram to Chen Jing.
Three or four days later, Chen Jing, having received the telegram, arrived at the warehouse of the long-distance transportation company in the suburbs with a group of his underlings.
The delivery driver was Ji Xiangjun's old comrade-in-arms and also an old acquaintance of Chen Jing. Upon seeing Chen Jing, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"I thought I was going to cause you some trouble!"
He handed the delivery slip to Chen Jing, who tactfully offered him two packs of cigarettes: "Brother Zhi has come all this way, how could I be so ungrateful?"
After paying the delivery fee with the delivery note and unloading more than a dozen boxes from the truck, Wang Yuan asked in surprise, "Brother Chen, what's going on?"
"You want to see my instinct for making money? It's a great way to make money, right?"
Upon hearing this, the henchmen cheered excitedly and, without Chen Jing's prompting, quickly lifted the fifteen boxes onto the truck bed.
More than a dozen boxes of goods were delivered back to the courtyard house.
The courtyard house is not yet fully renovated, but after more than a month of renovation, several rooms in the backyard have been completed.
Back when they bought the courtyard house, Chen Jing and Ji Xia had already discussed it and decided to temporarily turn it into a small workshop.
Even if they stay here for several years, the two of them can't live in a few hundred square meters, which is more than twenty rooms.
Private and individual businesses were not legal until the 1980s, so when it was illegal at the beginning, it was perfectly fine to plan warehouses, workshops, offices and dormitories in this large compound.
