Time flies, and years pass quickly.
One year later.
The market economy has begun to slowly recover.
Street vendors and sellers gradually began to appear on the streets and alleys.
They no longer do things secretly behind people's backs like before; they do it openly and honestly.
Some people have even started hawking their wares on the streets!
Individual businesses can gradually take shape.
Some have already started selling things in their own shops.
Their university life will end in one more semester.
Huo Junshan bought quite a few shops in his spare time.
They're just waiting for the notification from above so they can start doing business immediately.
Meanwhile, the factory they planned to build was completed in the past two years.
Garment factory, daily necessities factory.
The factory has been built and is just waiting for them to put it into use.
Huo Junshan was planning that it was time to bring his family over.
That day, the whole family sat together to discuss this matter.
"Mom and Dad, it's like this, my finances have started to recover."
“I think it’s time to have my older brother and the others come over.”
"I can easily make a living by doing some small business here."
"Our family can still be together."
Yun Qinzhi and Wen Yingqiu had no objections.
My only concern is that with the whole family coming here, the cost of food, drink, and other necessities will be quite high every day.
Xiao Huo is still in school, how can he afford it?
Li Xiangyun was also worried about this.
She laughed and said, "Third brother, no rush. It's not too late to talk about it after you graduate and settle down!"
"Besides, the whole family is coming, so we need to make sure they have enough to eat, drink, and stay in!"
"How much will this cost? Maybe we should wait a few more years!"
"If we really miss them, we can go back to celebrate the Chinese New Year."
Huo Changgen nodded as well.
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Father and Mother, don't worry, the food and lodging will only cost a little money."
"We can afford it, but as long as they are willing and able to work here, they can still earn money!"
"Look around, aren't there already many small businesses starting up outside?"
"This is an opportunity. If we wait until others have already established themselves before asking them to come, it will be too late."
"Anyway, they're going to come sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if it's a year or two later. Huo Junshan and I have already discussed this."
"We'll invite my uncle and his family over then, and we'll work hard together to make a living!"
Huo Changgen and Li Xiangyun were deeply moved, and their eyes both turned red.
“Ningning, I know you are all good children, but this is not a simple matter.”
"With so many people, the accommodation and food alone will take a long time!"
Huo Junshan laughed and said, "Isn't the factory about to start operations?"
"If they don't come, I don't have time to deal with it!"
In the end, Li Xiangyun and the others couldn't stop them, so they had to agree to let them all come over.
Huo Junshan then began sending telegrams home.
When the battalion commander received the telegram, he was so moved that tears streamed down his face.
Unexpectedly, the third son asked his whole family to come along.
But--
He looked at all the houses in the brigade, and he was still a little reluctant to leave. He had lived here all his life.
I'm getting old, and I'm going to move to a big city.
However, Huo Guodong and Huo Guoliang were very excited.
I can't believe we're going to the city so soon!
Huo Junshan originally said he was going back to pick them up, but he still had to go to school and study the difficult problems Yun Qin kept giving him.
So I simply wrote to them and told them to come over on their own.
It's a good time to tidy up the other courtyards first.
They cleared out two courtyards, one for my eldest brother and his family, and the other for my uncle and his family.
Four out of the five courtyards were inhabited.
There's another one for Yun Gan.
Huo Junshan hired workers and they started cleaning up the yard and the house.
Everything, from the furniture to the bed, was replaced with new ones.
After everything was settled, it would be about two months later.
Huo Junshan wrote a letter home, urging them to set off as soon as possible.
The captain took the letter and went to find Huo Jianguo and his men.
After discussing it, everyone decided to hold the event a month later, when the weather would be a bit cooler.
Use this month to tidy up the house and take what you need to take with you.
Things that weren't handled well should be handled properly.
The brigade leader also needs to hand over the reins. Since Huo Junshan and the others left, the brigade leader has been in charge of the brigade's cannery.
Now, he doesn't know who to hand it over to.
After he reported the matter to the commune, the commune told them to elect a new brigade leader from their production team.
And so, he's busy again with observation, finding people, and election matters.
When the villagers heard that the Huo family was going to Beijing, they came to their door every day to ask what they were going to do in Beijing.
The captain chuckled and said, "Third Brother told us to go and enjoy ourselves! We've never seen much of the world, so let's go and see. If it doesn't work out, we'll come back."
The most talked-about topic in the village lately has been Huo Junshan's success, which led him to take the entire Huo family to the city.
Even Huo Changlan's house was constantly being visited by people.
Huo Changlan was now in a hurry.
She found her eldest brother and asked, "Brother, are you all leaving?"
The captain nodded: "Yes! The third brother wants us all to go over there."
Huo Changlan's eyes lit up: "Big brother, did the third brother say I could come along too?"
Captain!
You're dreaming!
"No!"
