After Aunt Li left, Huo Changlan asked Yao Tingting if she was actually not very satisfied with this family.
I'm just too poor!
Such a poor family, what good life could they possibly have there?
Yao Tingting knew what her mother was thinking, and she smiled and said, "I want to be closer to you so I can take care of you in your old age."
"Otherwise, if I live far away, I'll worry about you being alone."
Huo Changlan nodded, moved.
"Alright then! Since you've also taken a liking to Zhang Youcai, I'll agree! But the bride price can't be less."
"I don't want your money, I just hope you can live a good life."
Yao Tingting nodded.
"Mother, I understand."
Zhang Youcai's family should be arriving tomorrow.
Aunt Li left, overjoyed.
She didn't go home; she went directly to Zhang Youcai's house.
“Youcai, I just asked, and they've agreed.”
"Look at this situation, what are you going to do about it from now on?"
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much. I'll have to trouble you to ask them how much dowry they're asking for, and when would be a good time for us to propose marriage?"
"It wouldn't be good if we suddenly went there!"
Aunt Li nodded: "That's right, alright, I'll ask again tomorrow. Don't worry, leave this to me!"
"I promise I'll make it look beautiful."
Zhang Youcai's mother smiled as she saw Aunt Li off.
As soon as she left, Zhang Youcai came out of the house.
His eyes were filled with joy: "Mother, they agreed? Mother, I'm going to have a wife!"
The next day, Aunt Li went to Huo Changlan again and asked for a dowry of one hundred yuan.
Aunt Zhang felt it was too much, as they still had two sons who weren't married.
They offered a dowry of up to 80 yuan, which Yao Tingting accepted.
She felt that Zhang Youcai should earn at least twenty yuan a month now that he had a job.
Once life gets better, why would we care about a few dozen yuan in betrothal gifts?
Huo Changlan finally agreed.
When the Zhang family came to propose marriage, Huo Changlan called over both the brigade leader and Huo Changgen.
After cooking a meal at home, the team leader finally felt relieved.
It's good that Yao Tingting married into the village; they can help each other out in the future.
Huo Changgen barely spoke throughout the entire process.
They were only focused on eating.
They ate their meal, then packed their bags and left.
Huo Changlan was furious. His second brother had been brainwashed by Yun Ningyan and the third brother.
Nobody likes her anymore.
He didn't offer any opinions on his daughter's marriage.
Huo Junshan has almost found a factory in the south.
He found the durian and jackfruit his wife had mentioned today.
However, it didn't smell very good, so he bought two and put them directly into his storage space.
I also bought two jackfruits.
There are fruits inside, which can be planted in the space.
But Yun Ningyan was unaware that she and Li Xiangyun were spending every day together taking care of the child.
She hasn't gone to the construction site to check on it in the last few days.
This made Zhang Shu quite anxious.
He couldn't resist the urge to go find Yun Ningyan, but reason prevailed and he pulled himself back.
Huo Jianshe had been watching him for several days but hadn't noticed anything unusual.
"Brother, I don't see anything wrong with it?"
Huo Jianguo smiled and said, "Your third sister-in-law hasn't come to the construction site these past few days, so of course you wouldn't notice."
"Brother, what do you mean by that? Does that mean Zhang Shu has some feelings for Third Sister-in-law?"
Huo Jianguo nodded: "I'm just guessing. Don't talk nonsense, it will ruin your third sister-in-law's reputation."
Huo Jianshe nodded.
"Brother, I know, don't worry."
That evening, Huo Junshan and Yun Ningyan met in the space.
As soon as Yun Ningyan entered the space, she saw durians and jackfruits inside.
She immediately had Huo Junshan open one.
Take out a piece and try it.
She squinted her eyes contentedly, realizing it had been a long time since she had eaten durian.
"Delicious! It still tastes the same, even better than what we've had since."
"Huo Junshan, try it, it tastes really good, it's smooth and sweet."
Huo Junshan frowned: It stinks!
Does this snail rice noodle taste different?
This stench is even more pungent.
The cigarettes taste really strange.
Yun Ningyan took a piece and handed it to him: "You should try it quickly. It's so boring to do something so fun all by yourself!"
She probably wanted her parents and her brothers to try it too.
There's simply no such thing on the market right now.
It's only found in the south.
She ate a piece, washed the durian seeds with the spring water, and planted them directly in the orchard where the water had flowed out.
She didn't give up the piece that Huo Junshan ate either.
It must be said that the durian Huo Junshan bought was very delicious, much like the Musang King durian of later generations.
How much are these two durians?
Huo Junshan laughed and said, "It's not expensive, only a little over twenty yuan!"
This fruit is rarely bought in the south because it's too expensive!
That's equivalent to one person's monthly salary.
Yun Ningyan nodded: "Huo Junshan, have another piece. This durian is very nutritious. You've worked hard, have another piece."
Huo Junshan shook his head: "I'm not eating anymore, I'm not eating anymore."
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Once the durian tree in the space grows, I'll have an endless supply of durians to eat."
"We'll plant other varieties of durian if they become available in the future."
"It should grow very quickly in space."
Huo Junshan patted her head: "Yanyan, let's spend another day tomorrow visiting various supply and marketing cooperatives to see how sales are here."
"We'll be back then."
Yun Ningyan nodded: "Okay! Then you go ahead and get busy! Go back and rest! I should go out too, Mother will be worried soon."
Yun Ningyan finished eating the durian in her hand and then went out.
She even washed her face before going out.
Li Xiangyun was making the bed, and the two children were lying on the bed, staring at her with wide eyes.
The two children were chasing after things to watch.
Yun Ningyan talked to the two of them every day.
"Mom, I'm going to the construction site tomorrow."
"I haven't been there for the past few days, have you gone to check on them?"
Li Xiangyun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on things tomorrow, or you can go and take a look."
"This is such a big stall, how much money will it cost? I can't sleep because I'm worried. What if we lose money?"
Yun Ningyan comforted her, "Mother, you're only thinking about the losses. Why don't you think about how much money we can make?"
"Think about it, once our factory starts production, we can sell it to the outside world. Right now, even fruit is in short supply, let alone canned goods."
"Canned goods will only sell better."
"Then we'll have lots and lots of money."
"Hehe, now that you mention it, I think it's a good idea too."
Yun Ningyan covered herself with the blanket and lay down to sleep.
A child was sleeping on one side, and Huo Junshan was still outside.
She sighed inwardly and closed her eyes.
In the middle of the night, a suspicious figure appeared in the factory.
The man was dressed in thick clothes and was holding a sharp pair of scissors.
