Qin Rou never expected that Sun Jin and his friends would discuss establishing a chamber of commerce, and even planned to nominate her as the president of the chamber of commerce. Even if they
really wanted to establish a chamber of commerce, they would have to wait until after the Chinese New Year.
"Director Qin, please don't refuse. Who else but you should be the president of this chamber of commerce!"
"Our chamber of commerce is different from other chambers of commerce. We are the South Island Pearl Chamber of Commerce. We have to choose someone who is capable and beautiful to represent our Pearl Chamber of Commerce."
"Except you, no one else can do it!"
...
Sun Jin talked to Qin Rou for a while, and then several other persons in charge came, including Zhang Xiesheng, the boss of Xiarou Pearl Farming. Zhang Xiesheng was a boss from Hong Kong Island. He was born with a big belly and a very honest face. He always spoke with a smile on his face and his tone was very friendly. On the surface, he looked like a simple and honest person, but in fact... it must be not simple to be able to do business.
People in his factory said that he had a good temper, never put on airs, and could even joke with others. His name was Zhang Xiesheng, but he opened a shrimp and pearl farm. Every time people saw his name, they would ask him, "Why don't you call your factory Xierou Pearl Factory, but Shrimp and Pearl Factory?"
Zhang Xiesheng would just smile and say, "Because I like to eat shrimps, not crabs, because they have too many shells."
Some people in his factory called him Boss Zhang, while others called him Boss Xie, but he didn't care and was happy to respond when people called him Boss Xie.
"As for crabs, who doesn't want to walk sideways?"
Zhang Xiesheng smiled when he saw Qin Rou: "Boss Qin, I have admired you for a long time. Women are as good as men..."
Qin Rou chatted with him for a few words. Zhang Xiesheng is very good at talking. Just like those bosses who are good at doing business, he is always friendly when talking to everyone. If you want to expand your business, you need to make money by being friendly.
"Boss Zhang, I think you are also suitable to be the president of this chamber of commerce." After Xiarou Pearl Farming acquired Guirou Pearl Farming, the scale of their farm is larger than Xunrou Farming.
"No, no, I'm not smart enough to be the president of this chamber of commerce. I still need someone like Boss Qin. A fool like me can just follow the smart guy and drink a sip of soup."
Qin Rou smiled, but she didn't believe that this man was really a fool.
There was no point in fighting with such a person, but knowing that they could make money by being friendly, at least there was no problem.
But... he was a crab boss who ran a shrimp and pearl farm, and he said he wanted to drink soup, which really made Qin Rou speechless.
Qin Rou joked with him: "Boss Zhang, you like to eat shrimp, why don't you open a shrimp chip factory?"
What's the name of the shrimp and pearl factory? It doesn't sound like pearls are beautiful. It's better to open a shrimp and shrimp chip factory... This doesn't sound very delicious.
"Hey! Boss Qin, you are indeed a capable and thoughtful person. Why didn't I think of it? Then I will open a shrimp chip factory!"
"It turns out that I have to follow behind you smart people to have a drink. I can't think of it myself."
Qin Rou: "..."
You are really a joker!
Qin Rou thought that this crab boss was just talking and joking with her. At this time, she didn't know that it was because of her two extra words that the shrimp chips that became famous later were produced. Lu Yan
drove the family back to the family compound. In the evening, the sisters Tian Dourong picked carrots and cut a batch of leeks, and the family simply made dumplings.
Now they can make dumplings very quickly. The rolling pins in the house have their own uses. Brothers Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize can roll out dough. Qin Rou helps Tian Dourong and his sister make dumplings.
The children in their family are all good at making dumplings.
The dumplings are plump and beautiful when placed on the curtains. Lu Yan takes his two daughters to cook dumplings, while brothers Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize gather together to whisper. I don't know what little secrets they are talking about.
The TV in the living room was turned on. They were back on Qiongzhou Island. The TV here... I have to say that the TV here is not as rich as it was in Guangzhou. In Guangzhou, you can still receive TV signals from Hong Kong Island, but on Qiongzhou Island, you can only rely on yourself.
The TV on Qiongzhou Island is generally a rebroadcast of Guangdong Provincial TV Station. It was only in August 1982 that the local TV station was established. However, there are not many programs on the local TV station. It has just started now, and everyone is still used to watching programs on Guangdong Provincial TV Station.
Guangdong Provincial TV Station has introduced many foreign TV series. The most popular TV series in the past one or two years are about volleyball.
A volleyball craze had also arisen in their family compound, and a volleyball match was organized. As for other factories, there were also volleyball matches of varying sizes. Qin Rou's Xunrou Pearl Factory had also organized a volleyball match for its employees.
"Mom! The dumplings are ready!"
"Brother Dumpling, go and serve the dumplings!"
Lu Weize snorted, "Call Brother Weize."
Qin Rou smiled and said, "Brother Weize, go and serve the dumplings."
The father and his two sons brought out a large pot of dumplings, and the six of them sat around the TV to eat dumplings. They had made several kinds of dumplings today, including carrot and shrimp, leek and pork, and mantis shrimp.
All the dumplings were mixed together and cooked. Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize, the two children who used to complain about carrots, could now eat carrots quietly.
Qin Rou liked to eat carrot and shrimp dumplings. The dumplings made by their family had thin skin and were very filling. When you bite into them, you can see the smooth shrimp mixed with the soup that splashes out, with a little sweetness of carrots. It is delicious and tasty, and it
tastes good with or without sauce.
"Mom, I'm going to eat one more dumpling than my sister today!"
"I ate the most dumplings!"
"My dumplings ate the most dumplings."
"Only Dad eats dumplings seriously."
...
Countless conversations came from the color TV not far away, and characters were reflected on the screen. The lights above were bright, and the faces of every family member could be clearly seen in the white smoke. Qin Rou smiled.
When the family sat together to eat dumplings, it was always particularly warm and happy.
Before going to bed at night, Qin Rou held a martial arts novel in her hand. Lu Yan walked into the room, turned off the main light, turned on the bedside lamp, and when he sat on the bed, he held Qin Rou in his arms.
He stared at her quietly.
Qin Rou put down the book in her hand and turned her head to look at him: "What's wrong? You keep looking at me like this."
Lu Yan kissed her on the forehead, "My wife is really amazing. Everyone who went out today praised my wife."
"She used to be an excellent broadcaster, and now she is a powerful female entrepreneur Comrade Xiao Qin. In the future, she will be President Qin of the Nandao Pearl Chamber of Commerce."
"There is no trace of this chamber of commerce, and you are talking about President Qin. You only know how to make fun of people." Qin Rou smiled and looked at him.
Lu Yan smiled and looked at her without saying anything.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this? Do you think that you should look at someone with new eyes after three days of absence? Has your wife quietly become so powerful?"
Lu Yan smiled and nodded.
"Is our Chief of Staff Lu feeling inferior?" "
I'm so proud that I'm honored."
Lu Yan seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile, "Do you think I should go to the neighbor's house to show off?"
"Whenever Teacher Huang has some news, Lao Zhang will tell me."
"Then why don't you tell him about your wife?"
"I can't bear to tell others about my good wife."
Lu Yan pressed her under him, sniffing the soft and warm fragrance on her body, feeling peaceful in his heart. He gently bit her earlobe, and the hot air blew into Qin Rou's ears, "I'm very stingy. I'm afraid that people will miss my little fox with such a good piece of fox meat."
Seeing so many people surrounding his wife today, Chief of Staff Lu was really a little jealous.
"It's so sour. Did you pack up the vinegar from the dumplings just now and bring it back to your room? I accidentally drank a mouthful." Qin Rou hugged his neck, "I was afraid that someone would miss you, you wore such a sexy outfit today."
Lu Yan: "...You didn't ask me to wear it."
"You regret it, next time I'll make you wear a sack."
Lu Yan couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and kissed her lips carefully. Qin Rou hugged his neck and kissed him back. After so many years of kissing, they still didn't get tired of it.
Being jealous occasionally is probably a small episode in life.
The fire at night burns more vigorously.
After the New Year, in the spring of 1983, the newly built Pearl Primary School in Dajiao Village was put into use, and the children entered the brand new campus with their schoolbags on their backs.
On the first day of school, Qin Rou took Tian Dou Rong and her sister to attend the opening ceremony, and also attended the national flag raising ceremony with her sister Qin Mian.
Her brother-in-law Chen Mian, as the new principal of the school, was speaking on the stage. He was wearing a suit, and he felt particularly awkward, regretting not changing into a Zhongshan suit.
He had been rehabilitated a long time ago, and he didn't feel very happy. In the past countless years, his arrogance had long been smoothed out. Only today, when he saw so many young children in front of him, did he burst out with joy and satisfaction. In
recent years, many people have continuously invited him to leave elementary school and teach in junior high school, high school, or go to university for further studies or teach in university, but Chen Mian refused all of them.
He likes such energetic children. Although they often make noises and often make people mad, when they smile and call him Teacher Chen, they are like sunflowers blooming towards the sun. It
makes people feel warm from the bottom of their hearts.
"Teacher Chen!"
"Principal Chen!"
...
School has started. Qin Rou and Qin Mian are helping to distribute books. Qin Mian listens to the students calling Principal Chen and can't help but say to Qin Rou: "Look at you, one is going to become President Qin, and there is Chief of Staff Lu. Here there is Principal Chen. Do I have to get a position as a principal too?"
