Shen Anyian asked Mrs. Qin to collect her salary, borrowed a bicycle from Qin's father, and rode to Huangzhuang by herself.
Huangzhuang looks even poorer than Dahe Village. The houses are dilapidated and many children are left unattended by adults, playing in the mud, each one looking like a dirty bun.
When they saw her riding a bicycle towards them, they all looked at her with their big eyes, which were clearly black and white.
Those who were brave enough even ran after her car, laughing and shouting, looking very happy.
She looked at the child with the biggest grin on his face, "Where is your captain's home?"
She suddenly opened her mouth to speak, which scared the child. He stopped laughing and pointed forward.
Shen An Nian looked forward, not knowing which house it was, and said to the child, "Can you take me there?"
The child looked at her twice, as if trying to determine whether she was a bad person.
After looking at it for a long time, he finally nodded and said, "Come with me."
The team leader of Huangzhuang is called Huang Changzheng. His house is a blue brick house with a jujube tree planted at the door.
"This is it." The child turned around and looked at her curiously. "Just go in. There's someone at his house."
"Thank you." Shen Annian took out a few candies from his pocket and said, "Take them and eat them."
The child's eyes lit up and he looked at the candy in her hand eagerly, "Is it really for me?"
Shen Annian nodded, "Of course it's for you."
The child took the candy and ran away immediately, as if he was afraid that she would change her mind.
The other children who followed looked at Shen Annian one by one, their eyes full of desire for candy.
There are many children in the family, and Shen Annian has developed the habit of bringing some food with him wherever he goes.
Seeing so many pairs of eyes looking at her so eagerly, she took out the candy in her pocket and gave each of them a candy.
She knocked on the door and asked, "Is Captain Huang home?"
"Who's at home?"
A female voice came from the yard. Shen Annian couldn't guess her identity, so she replied, "I'm from Dahe Village. I have something I want to talk to Captain Huang about."
"Here I come."
The sound came from far away and got closer. With a "creak", the door opened and a middle-aged woman walked out and glanced at her up and down.
The girl was dressed nicely and had a bicycle, so she seemed to come from a well-off family.
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
"I want to discuss something with Captain Huang. Is it convenient for you to go in and talk?"
"It's convenient, come in quickly."
The middle-aged woman moved aside to make room for Shen Annian to push the cart into the door.
She parked her bicycle in the yard and took off the bag of mooncakes hanging on the handlebars.
The middle-aged woman shouted towards the main hall, "Dad, come out quickly! A female comrade from Dahe Village is looking for you."
"Here, who is it?"
Huang Changzheng walked out and saw a young female comrade. He had some impression of her.
The educated youth were all picked up by the team leader. Shen Annian had just been in the countryside for half a year and was very pretty. She brought a young educated youth with her when she went to the countryside, which had never happened before.
At that time, everyone saw that she was carrying a small burden and knew that she could not work. The brigade probably had to provide food to support the people, so no one wanted her.
So Huang Changzheng remembers it very clearly.
“Isn’t this Shen Zhiqing? Why are you here?”
He had heard about the collective strike of the educated youth in Dahe Village and being sent to the farm for reform, so why was this educated youth Shen still here?
"Captain Huang, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, I came to see you."
He said this as if they had a very good relationship.
Could it be that she couldn't stand staying in Dahe Village and wanted to run to their Huangzhuang?
That wouldn't work. The brigade wasn't cheap and could be changed at will. He had never heard of any educated youth being able to change brigades.
"I heard that the educated youth from your Dahe Village went on strike. Is that true?"
Shen Annian nodded, "That's true. They have been sent to the farm for reform. I didn't participate in the strike, so I don't need to go to the farm."
Huang Changzheng was a little surprised that so many educated youth were on strike, but she didn't join them.
But before he could ask more questions, Shen An Nian handed the mooncake to him.
"Captain Huang, these are mooncakes produced by our Red Star Food Factory. Please try them."
Huang Changzheng felt a little embarrassed.
Of course he had also heard about the food factory in Dahe Village. Not only him, but other villages had also heard about it. Everyone was so envious that their eyes were almost red.
But no one could do anything about it. Since they were smart, the commune agreed to let them set up a factory.
I heard that the mooncakes from the food factory are sold in Heng City and are very expensive.
"Tell me, kid, you're here, why are you bringing anything with you?"
He was a little confused just now, but now his impression of Shen Annian has improved a bit.
Apart from anything else, this educated youth Shen is very good at handling things.
"It's not right for us to come empty-handed during such a big festival. Captain Huang, please don't be polite with me."
Huang Changzheng handed the bag of mooncakes to Aunt Huang and happily welcomed Shen Annian into the house.
Aunt Huang was also very happy as she carried the heavy mooncakes.
This bag of mooncakes probably weighs about four or five pounds, enough for the children at home to eat for a long time.
She put the things away, and with a smile, poured water for Shen Annian in an enamel cup, "Shen Zhiqing, drink some water."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Shen Annian picked up the cup and moved towards his seat, but did not drink it. Instead, he took out two bottles of hot sauce from his bag.
"Captain Huang, this hot sauce is made by Aunt Cui Xiulan, and this hot sauce is made by Aunt Wang Xing'er. I made some improvements and brought them here especially for you to try."
Huang Changzheng didn't quite understand what she said. The two people she was talking about were indeed from Huangzhuang.
But she came all the way here and gave me so many things. What on earth did she want to do?
Do you really want to transfer to their team?
"Shen Zhiqing, what do you want to talk to me about? Just tell me the truth."
"Captain Huang, I just want to ask you, do you have any ideas about setting up a food factory in Dahe Village?"
There were many things he thought about it, but unfortunately he couldn't tell her any of them.
Huang Changzheng thought for a moment and said, "Shen Zhiqing, if you have anything to say, why don't you just tell me directly?"
Shen An Nian straightened his back slightly and said with a smile: "Now that Dahe Village has a momentum of development, has Captain Huang ever thought about Huangzhuang doing something to improve the lives of the villagers?"
He thought about it every day and even dreamed about it, but he couldn't come up with any good solution.
"Shen Zhiqing, why don't we think about it? We think about it every day.
It’s just that I don’t have the ability and can’t accomplish anything big.”
"Captain Huang, don't say that. You don't have to think about big things. We can also focus on the present."
Shen Anyian pushed the hot sauce in front of him, "For example, these two hot sauces."
Huang Changzheng looked at the two small glass bottles. What's wrong with this chili sauce?
Isn't it for gifts?
Seeing his confused look, Shen An Nian put it more bluntly, "Have you ever thought about opening a factory to sell this kind of hot sauce?"
What? This hot sauce can also be sold?
Their village is going to build a factory?
