Chapter 20: Your priorities are none of my business
Zhuang Chaoying didn't know what to say. He really didn't want to move just now.
There were quite a few people on the bus, but Huang Ling still took the opportunity to chat with the ticket seller Zhang Meihua.
Now with her brother Zhang Yongcheng, Huang Ling can easily exchange her meat coupons for various types of pork.
So she had a new business idea.
Zhang Meihua changed shifts at two o'clock in the afternoon, so Huang Ling asked Zhuang Chaoying to take the two children home, while she sat on the bus and waited for Zhang Meihua to get off work.
After work, the two went to the meat processing plant to find Zhang Yongcheng.
Zhang Yongcheng is capable and strong. He has served in the army and is a down-to-earth person.
Huang Ling only said one sentence to them: "Just listen to me, and your names will definitely be among the first batch of ten thousand yuan households in Suzhou."
Before this, Huang Ling helped them get bicycle tickets, cotton tickets, and industrial tickets, so the two believed it without a doubt.
This time, Huang Ling wants to set up a breeding farm.
The inspiration came from the pig feed strips, and it also reminded her of the online novels she had read, many of which were about pig farming.
She calculated and found that it could work.
Starting from 1978, policies will be gradually relaxed and private operations will soon flourish.
The first one to work gets the meat.
So now is the preparation period. The Zhang family’s hometown is a rural area near Suzhou. There is still an old house there, but no one lives in it and it is abandoned.
Zhang Yongcheng bought piglets through his connections at the meat processing plant and raised them in a renovated old house.
The person they hired to feed the pigs was their cousin. He had no wife or children, was not in good health and could not earn many work points, but he was still capable of cutting grass and feeding the pigs. He was an honest person and did not need a salary, just food, which was provided according to the ration stipulated by the state.
This grain also includes money for feed. Huang Ling contributed 50%, Zhang Meihua and Zhang Yongcheng each contributed 25%, and the money from selling the pigs was divided equally among the three.
Because the daily care and concern is left to Zhang Yongcheng and his sister, they have more energy.
Pork is in short supply now and there is no problem selling it. Zhang Yongcheng has wanted to do this for a long time, but he just didn't know how to start. Huang Ling's idea coincides with his.
Huang Ling told them that they could get a private business license in the future and then expand the scale to run a pig farm.
The reason for seeking cooperation with them is not only because of the relationship with the meat processing plant, but also because under the current circumstances, the conditions of both companies are better and they can use the extra grain money to do business.
Huang Ling lives her life in an orderly manner.
It's always been about making money.
When the voices of hawkers collecting scrap, selling enamel pots, and washing basins rang out in the alley, she knew that the things in her space could also be converted into cash.
Whenever she had time to rest, she would go to a place far away from the cotton mill to do small business.
She even went to Guangzhou to purchase goods.
The money she earns is much higher than her salary, and she has to save it for future investment.
That day, she had just come back from outside, holding some toffee candies she bought for the three children in the house.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard laughter coming from the house.
When she entered the room, she saw that it was Lin Zhenfeng.
On the table were a new washbasin, cloth, pork, canned food and two bottles of malted milk.
"Did you pass the exam?" Huang Ling asked hurriedly.
"Yes, sister, I got admitted! Zhejiang University!" Lin Zhenfeng almost jumped up.
"Ah! 985, 211, Double First-Class, C9! Hahahaha! Not bad, not bad!"
"What?" Lin Zhenfeng didn't understand.
"It's nothing! I'm happy for you!"
Huang Ling was really happy! She guessed that Lin Zhenfeng would be admitted, but she didn't expect that he would be admitted to Zhejiang University.
Now I have one more person to rely on.
"Sister, my dad is so happy! He originally wanted to come and thank you, but he had to go on a business trip, so he asked me to come first. Then, we'll have a party at home and invite you over!"
"Okay, then I must go!"
Zhuang Chaoying felt sad because Li Yiming, whom he taught, failed the exam, but Lin Zhenfeng, whom Huang Ling taught, passed and did very well.
However, when he saw Tunan, he became happy again:
"Tunan, look, if you start studying hard now, you can go to college like Brother Zhenfeng, to Zhejiang University! From now on, you won't have to wear straw sandals anymore, you can wear leather shoes!"
Tunan was obviously encouraged as well.
"Tunan, once I'm settled in Hangzhou, I'll invite you and your family to visit our school! Do you want to go?"
"I want to!" Tunan said heavily.
"That's great, I'm so happy! Zhenfeng, please stay for dinner tonight and I'll make you something delicious!" Huang Ling stood up.
"Sister, no! Tunan is still growing, there's not enough food for him."
"Your bowl is worth it! Tunan, share the candy with your brothers and sisters."
Huang Ling handed the candy to Tunan and went to the kitchen to cook.
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng were also very envious when they heard this, so they went into the room to listen to Lin Zhenfeng and Zhuang Chaoying discussing the exam and admission.
Because he failed the exam, Li Yiming started to look for Zhuang Chaoying for tutoring again.
"Teacher Zhuang, the college entrance exam is only a few months away. Can we come to ask you some questions in the evening?"
"But..." Before Zhuang Chaoying could finish his words, Huang Ling punched him hard on the back.
Huang Ling said to the two people outside the door: "No, Tunan and Xiaoting still have homework to do. Besides, you will not only affect us, but also Mr. Lin's family."
Li Yiming said, "Auntie Huang, I think you don't know your priorities. The college entrance exam is much more important than studying for elementary school!"
"That's your priority. What does it have to do with us? I'm not your mother. Of course I only care about my son and daughter's elementary school!"
"No, Aunt Huang, you said the house was small before, but now you have two rooms!"
Song Ying continued, "Then how about we move out and live on the streets, so that we can give you guys the room to study? With your brain, you can't even read a damn book!"
"Song Ying, you are such a young girl! You don't understand the ways of the world!" Wu Jianjun shouted as he passed by.
Song Ying sneered:
"I don't understand. I live next door, but I didn't even know to wish Teacher Zhuang a happy new year! If you're young, just go to elementary school! Why go to high school? Why go to college? You're young, you don't have any parents at home."
"Let's go! Let's go to your home." Zhuang Chaoying took the person away.
Song Ying went into Huang Ling's room and said with a smile, "Sister Ling, it's just as you said. Li Yiming would say something like that. I had already thought of how to scold him! This one came out smoothly!"
"He won't pass the exam, but he's not a bad person, he's just a bit stubborn." Huang Ling shook her head.
"Right, our Wu Feng said that he heard Teacher Zhuang teaching them next door, saying that his foundation was too poor. I guess... you even managed to get Zhenfeng into Zhejiang University! If you say it's not possible, it's definitely not possible." Song Ying also shook her head.
"Our Tuanan is different! He will definitely be admitted to No. 1 Middle School!" Huang Ling glanced at Tuanan who was concentrating on studying in the room.
"That's right! Tunan will definitely pass the exam!"
Song Ying felt that Huang Ling was even more accurate than a fortune teller.
Tu Nancheng was admitted to No. 1 Middle School smoothly.
They haven't been back to the Zhuang family these days, and Zhuang Chaoying plans to take Tunan with him to personally tell Zhuang's father and mother the good news.
