Chapter 324 Neighbor’s Gift
Lu Yunchen went to the troupe, and Huang Xinran took a break before taking out the script again and checking it over again.
Huang Xinran couldn't say anything about the script that Lu Yunchen was optimistic about.
Most mainland movies of this period tell a seemingly simple but actually profound story. This script seems to be similar. What is the basic reason why Lu Yunchen chose it?
She couldn't figure it out, but she trusted Lu Yunchen with all her heart. Since he chose this script, she would use it. When she got back, she would start to deal with the follow-up matters.
Hopefully, this movie can open up new prospects for her. Not to mention whether it will make money, but I just hope it can open up new prospects and allow her to enter the film and television industry smoothly.
Ideals are good, but whether they can be realized depends on the future.
When she had prepared the materials and stood up to stretch her shoulders, she heard her mother Liu Zhaodi chattering in the corridor.
After listening carefully, I found out that he was greeting his next-door neighbor.
The cheerful laughter echoed throughout the entire corridor.
Seeing that the mother was only heard but not seen, and she didn't come up for a long time, Huang Xinran simply walked out of the room. When he looked out, he found that it was the neighbor who lived in the small building in front who was distributing mountain products such as chestnuts and mushrooms that he picked himself to everyone.
Liu Zhaodi got a big bag and was enthusiastically helping her neighbors pack the bags. Look at how enthusiastic she was. Wasn’t she even more enthusiastic about the food than her own?
Perhaps the sound of her opening the door startled everyone; the neighbor looked up and saw her, and waved to her.
"Mrs. Lu, you are home too! Come on, pick out some of your favorite food to take back. They are all local products from home. There are quite a lot of them and they are not expensive, but just a token of my appreciation."
Being called Mrs. Lu was still a new experience for Huang Xinran. It seemed that no one had ever called her that before.
She agreed, got to know these neighbors, and chatted with them for a while.
Only then did she realize that the neighbors living in this place were actually all rich or noble. But it was normal to think about it. This house was already worth a lot before the couple gave it to her as a bonus from the company. Whether it was the location or the surrounding facilities and facilities, it was much better than the previous family compound.
What's more, the fact that this is a house that was built only a year ago and the families that have been able to move in are truly extraordinary.
She wanted to decline the neighbor's kindness, but she couldn't resist her mother's excited look. In the end, she still carried two big bags of local specialties back home.
Forget it, now that I have brought it back, I can just bring back some local specialties as a return gift.
"I never thought there would be so many chestnuts and pine nuts... Hey, what is this? Is it ginseng? It shouldn't be... right?"
Liu Zhaodi was so excited that she was stunned when she found that there was ginseng mixed in it.
Huang Xinran hurriedly went closer to check, "It should be forest ginseng, it looks like it's quite old... There are also Hericium erinaceus, they all look wild, it seems I owe them a favor this time. I didn't expect that my neighbor also has such good mountain products!"
"That, that won't have any bad effects on you and Yun Chen, right?"
Liu Zhaodi couldn't help rubbing her hands, hesitantly: "You say, can I take it back now? What if..."
"It's okay, just take it."
Seeing her mother's panic, Huang Xinran hurriedly comforted her: "These are all gifts from neighbors, there is no need to divide them so carefully. I will take care of this matter, mom, you don't have to worry."
"real?"
Seeing Huang Xinran nod, Liu Zhaodi finally felt relieved.
Patting her chest, she said, "My daughter has a solution. These are all good things. Let me take a look... What do you think? If I mail these wild ginsengs you mentioned to your father, he can use them to replenish his body. Will it be more effective?"
Huang Xinran had used his spiritual power to sort out Huang Zhiye's body when he went back last time, so there shouldn't be any problems for a while.
However, she had no intention of telling her mother: "Okay, there are quite a few anyway. Leave one for me and I'll leave the rest to you."
"Okay, okay. Hericium erinaceus is also a good thing. We haven't seen it over there. I'll mail some back to him. Keep these chestnuts for yourself. And pine nuts..."
She sorted it out for a long time, thought for a while, and stood up again: "Well, let me think about it, I don't know if your father wants these. How about I give him a call?"
Huang Xinran naturally wouldn't stop it.
Liu Zhaodi went to make the phone call excitedly.
The telephone here was also newly installed, and Liu Zhaodi deliberately called Huang Zhiye just to show off. Unfortunately, when she called, the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.
Looking at the time and guessing that the other party was still busy working in the field, Liu Zhaodi had to suppress her excitement, hung up the phone and called back later.
When Liu Zhaodi finished steaming and frying the chestnuts and served them on the table, the phone rang.
"It must be your dad calling, I'll answer it!"
Liu Zhaodi was eating delicious sugar-roasted chestnuts when she answered the phone. "Hello!~"
The call was indeed from Huang Zhiye. He had just come home from work and saw the missed call, so he called. As soon as the call was connected, Liu Zhaodi couldn't help showing off, praising how fragrant and delicious the sugar-roasted chestnuts she was eating were. She also talked about the big and small things that happened in the past few days.
No matter how big or small the matter was, he spilled it all out at once. The man on the other end of the phone listened patiently.
After she finished talking, she asked where Huang Zhiye had been and why he took so long to call her.
Huang Zhiye is indeed very busy. However, he is not just busy with farm work.
The stone mill on the riverbank has now become one of the best noodle processing factories in the area. It not only processes noodles for the surrounding villagers, but also runs a flour business. It processes flour, makes noodles, butterfly noodles, and dough blocks, etc.
Huang Zhiye didn't think about going to work at first, after all, his family already had enough farm work to do.
But once he got some free time, he couldn't stay idle.
Seeing that I could make money, I decided to work in a processing factory. After a while, I found that I could make more money in the processing factory, and gradually my focus shifted from farming to the processing factory.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that there is no farm work on his land.
Huang Zhiye naturally talked about his troubles. There was a shortage of manpower and he was too busy to take care of both the processing plant and the fields.
Huang Xinran listened for a long time and gave his father a suggestion: only plant rapeseed, corn and sweet potatoes in the forest land, and plant rice in the paddy fields. If it still can't grow enough, just expand the paddy fields to raise fish, and plant one or two acres of seasonal vegetables, so that they can eat enough for themselves without having to buy more.
In fact, Huang Xinran said that those lands should not be cultivated at all, or given to others to cultivate. It would be better for Dad to concentrate on the processing factory.
But she knew better that it would be better if she didn't say this, because if she did, her father would definitely be unhappy.
This is a compromise approach.
As soon as Huang Zhiye had tasted enough sweetness at the processing plant, he naturally gave up because the benefits of farming here were low.
It's not surprising that Huang Xinran made such a choice. In fact, her hometown is all hilly, and the land is cultivated purely by manpower. It is difficult for machinery to reach the land. If there is a natural disaster in the three years, nature can be self-sufficient. But the output of the land is only enough to be self-sufficient, and there is no surplus.
How can we create economic benefits?
