Chapter 461 Getting on the right track and expanding business
When Qin's father and mother saw this scene, their old faces were as bright as chrysanthemums. In the past, when they went to the Zhang family, they were all very obedient and didn't say a word, but now they could even agree with others. Because they were too happy, Qin's father drank two more glasses. He had quit drinking for many years, but he passed out after drinking two more glasses.
Seeing him like this, Qin's mother was so angry that she wanted to curse him. She said to Zhang's mother, "I don't think Wenbin will be so happy when he gets married!"
These words amused everyone in the Zhang family.
After the baby's full moon celebration, the Zhang family's life gradually returned to normal.
Qin Wenjun took good care of herself during the confinement period, and after that she was even healthier than before. She walked briskly and her complexion was rosy and radiant, which made Zhang's mother very happy. If the mother is in good health, her milk supply will be good, and the child can be raised well.
When she was working in the bakery, Zhang's mother would bring the baby upstairs, and would bring her down to feed her only when she was hungry. At first, Zhang Wanwan was worried that Qin Wenjun would not be able to cope with it, but she found that she was worrying too much. Now Qin Wenjun works more efficiently than before. Perhaps it is because she is in good health and full of energy, so she doesn't feel tired even if she is busy all day.
Even Zhang Nini felt inferior after seeing it.
After life and work got back on track, the wasteland in the forest on the other side of Xiapu Village was also reclaimed. The soil was really as fertile as Leng Ziyue said, all black, and there was no need to apply special fertilizer at all. Taking advantage of the beginning of spring and the continuous spring rain, Zhang Wanwan quickly asked Zhang's father and Li Yongshou for help and recruited a group of elderly people in the village who could go to the fields to help with sowing.
Now all the villagers in Xiapu Village know that the road in the village was built by Zhang Wanwan and her husband. They regard her as the village's benefactor. When they hear that she needs help, the elderly in the village will go to help without saying a word and say they don't want any wages.
Zhang's father said, "One thing is one thing. Of course, we have to pay workers. In the future, we will hire workers for long-term work. They are all farm work. If you are willing, you can earn some pocket money to buy new clothes for your grandchildren and some candy. If you don't charge us, we won't dare to hire you."
Everyone was very grateful after hearing what Zhang's father said. They agreed to receive the wages and worked very hard. They supervised each other without Zhang's father watching over them, and all the vegetable seeds were planted in three days.
Zhang Wanwan paid them ten yuan an hour. The old people could work eight to ten hours a day, and they could get about two hundred and four to three hundred yuan in three days. This amount of money was not much, but for the old people in the village who had no income, it was a windfall.
When they left, those people kept expressing their gratitude to Zhang's father, which made Zhang's father very sad. They had all been poor before, so he could understand the happiness of these old people.
After sowing, they don't need so many people. They just need to hire a few people to watch over different vegetable plots to water, fertilize, weed and catch insects. Zhang's father will hand the selection of these people over to the village chief, who will give priority to the families in more difficult situations in the village. However, they must be diligent and conscientious.
The Zhang family has helped the village so much, the village chief would think of it without Zhang's father reminding him and take the job. Within two days, ten elderly people in their sixties and seventies were brought to Zhang's father. From their appearance, one could tell that they were the kind of people who had been dealing with the fields all their lives. Although they were old, they were all able to endure hardships. After trying them for a few days, Zhang's father was satisfied and even gave the village chief two bags of tea.
The problem in Xiapu Village has been solved, and the processing plant built by Zhang Wanwan is almost ready. After the production equipment is introduced, it can almost be put into production. As soon as the factory started operation, Li Meili smiled from ear to ear every day, because Zhang Wanwan's factory needed a lot of raw materials, and the strawberries on her side were almost in short supply. For this reason, she specially expanded the strawberry planting and made a lot of money. Not only did she move to a new home, she also thought about building a better house. After all, their new house is not big. When they had no money, they just thought about finishing the house quickly and didn't dare to think about anything else. Now that the family suddenly has money, Li Meili's mind has become more active.
In the past, Zhao Guoqing would express some opinions, but now he is completely silent. After all, the family's income still depends on Li Meili's family, and Li Meili didn't use the money for anything else. What else can he say?
When the people in the village heard that Zhao Guoqing was going to build another house, they were completely speechless. The cousin and his wife, who had previously had unpleasant experiences with them, were extremely jealous, but they could only secretly make sarcastic remarks behind their backs and did not dare to go out and make a fuss.
After Zhang Wanwan's jam processing factory went into production, she became busier and busier. With the support of old customers, the first batch of products was sold out within two days. Afterwards, she continued her previous style, taking orders before production to ensure that the products were the freshest.
As the business grows bigger, more and more manpower is needed. At times like this, one can't always rely on family for help. Zhang Wanwan has no choice but to ask Leng Ziyue to help her find management talents.
Leng Ziyue was waiting for this opportunity. He agreed as soon as Zhang Wanwan took the initiative. The next day, Lao Er, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Wanwan, followed by seven or eight unfamiliar faces.
"Second brother, what is this?" Zhang Wanwan asked puzzledly.
"Sister-in-law, these are the management talents that the eldest brother found for you. The eldest brother said that since we are looking for people, it doesn't matter if we find one or two, so we will find a few more for you and arrange them to various positions. After all, you can't let your own brother manage a small breeding farm all the time." The second brother said expressionlessly.
Zhang Wanwan was playing with the pen in her hand and fell into deep thought. What Lao Er said was exactly what she was worried about. She had always wanted to help Zhang Baiyan get away, but she never had the chance. Could it be now?
That afternoon, she drove to the sand farm. It had gone from being deserted to being extremely busy. Workers recruited from nearby villages came here before dawn every day and worked until dark before returning. The beach was also bustling with fishermen and businessmen.
As soon as Zhang Wanwan entered the warehouse, she found Zhang Boyan yelling at the top of his voice, arranging shipments. When he saw Zhang Wanwan coming in, he was stunned for a moment, then walked over and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you busy?"
Zhang Wanwan shook her head and said, "Brother, let's talk after you're done."
Zhang Baiyan was a little surprised, but he nodded in agreement as if everything was fine.
When Qin's father and mother saw Zhang Wanwan coming, they hurried to the kitchen to cook something for her.
After all the goods were sold out, Zhang Baiyan finally had time to sit down and have a good cup of tea. Seeing him so tired, Zhang Wanwan felt bad and hesitated to ask, "Brother, what are your plans for the future?"
"What?" Zhang Baiyan was a little confused.
