Not long after the New Year, the village got busy again, with more work in the fields such as planting and weeding.
The orchards and livestock farms in Beili Village are thriving, generating considerable revenue for the village. Companies often come to the village to order fruit from the orchards and eggs from the livestock farms, usually for employee welfare benefits.
Several profitable factories, such as Qianyuan County Machinery Factory, are regular customers of Beili Village. The products produced in Beili Village are sold right at their doorsteps without them having to be transported out themselves; the buyers will take them away themselves.
Later, at Han Yixian's suggestion, Gao Shuwen led the villagers to clean and deepen several ponds in the village and start raising fish.
The fish fry were also bought with Han Yixian's help, of course, from He Yuhan's spatial storage. He Yuhan also indirectly earned some money.
Fish farming also requires technology. He Yuhan compiled some technical information about fish farming and gave it to the village. Gao Shuwen asked the villagers in charge of fish farming to study it so that they could also practice scientific fish farming.
The fish fry provided by He Yuhan were very easy-to-raise varieties such as carp and grass carp. In the countryside, there's no shortage of grass, so Gao Shuwen encouraged the village children to cut grass in their spare time and hand it in to the team to earn work points.
In addition to regularly throwing suitable grass into the fishpond, the fish are also occasionally fed with feed made by the village itself.
Despite the cost-saving measures, the fishpond was well taken care of. At the end of the year, when it was harvest time, the water in the fishpond was drained, and the large carp and grass carp in the fishpond were lively, fat and big.
The villagers' hard work throughout the year paid off; in addition to distributing some of the fish from these fishponds to each family, they also made a considerable amount of money from selling the fish.
Beili Village has embarked on the road to prosperity ahead of schedule, and the villagers' lives are among the best in the entire Qianyuan County.
Time passed by unnoticed amidst people's busy lives, and before they knew it, the youngest twins in the Han family were already in second grade. That same year, the country underwent many tremendous changes. He Yuhan knew that their return to Kyoto was not far off.
Yue Tingshan, who went to work in Kyoto a few years ago, often called Zhou Zhengye and He Zhenhua to discuss the changing situation in Kyoto. When they had time, Zhou Zhengye and He Zhenhua would also go to Beili Village to exchange ideas and discuss matters with Han Yixian and the others.
Although he lived in the remote Beili Village, Han Yixian had his own sources of information and kept abreast of the situation in Kyoto and across the country.
He kept comparing the events described in He Yuhan's book to see if they would happen. Over the years, everything described in the book came true, which made Han Yixian and others believe in the authenticity of the book's contents.
The book says that the country will undergo tremendous changes and the college entrance examination will be reinstated.
He Yuhan has been supervising the children's studies. Gu Huayang and He Haobo have never given up their cultural knowledge over the years, and their knowledge has become more and more profound.
Even if the college entrance examination were to be reinstated now, they would have no problem getting into university.
In particular, Gu Huayang, under He Yuhan's tutelage, has long since acquired the skills expected of a doctor.
He Yuhan plans to have her eldest son, Han Xurui, take the college entrance examination along with Gu Huayang and He Haobo. She estimates that the children will have already returned to Beijing by the time the exams are held.
In recent years, He Yuhan and Han Yixian have secretly traveled to Beijing almost every year, always at Zhao Huaiming's invitation, to secretly repair various machines. These include research instruments, imported production equipment from factories, and all sorts of mechanical equipment.
He Yuhan practically became Zhao Huaiming's firefighter.
Zhao Huaiming was also eagerly hoping that the Han family could return to Kyoto as soon as possible, so that it would be much easier for him to find He Yuhan.
Beili Village in Qianyuan County is a thousand miles away from Kyoto, making it very inconvenient to travel back and forth.
In recent years, Qianyuan County Machinery Factory has developed very well and has become a large factory. Its agricultural machinery is sold throughout the country and exported to more than a dozen countries.
The product range has expanded to several series and more than a dozen products. Currently, the thresher series and tractor series have the largest sales volume and the widest sales area.
Most of the products of Qianyuan County Machinery Factory were designed by He Yuhan, and He Yuhan has made great contributions to the factory's current success.
Zhou Zhengye, as the director of the Qianyuan County Machinery Factory, had already been on the list, so he was the first to receive the transfer order back to Kyoto. He Zhenhua also received the transfer order.
After receiving the transfer order, Zhou Zhengye and He Zhenhua went to Beili Village together to discuss future development with Han Yixian.
Han Yixian also knew that Zhou Zhengye would be transferred sooner or later. Kyoto had been trying to transfer him back to preside over a large machinery factory, but Zhou Zhengye insisted on supporting the construction of remote areas and did not go back.
However, this time Zhou Zhengye was not transferred back to manage an existing factory, but to build a new factory from scratch.
The factory to be built this time is a car manufacturing plant, a car factory that produces passenger cars.
China has long lagged behind in passenger car production and has always wanted to produce its own high-end cars. The timing wasn't right before, but now the government is preparing to launch this project.
The project is currently only in the planning stage, and Zhou Zhengye will be in charge of it when he returns.
Although Zhou Zhengye had previously served as the director of a machinery factory, agricultural machinery and automobiles were two completely different things. He had driven cars before, and often at that, but he had absolutely no confidence in organizing the production of cars.
He was aware of the current state of domestic automobile production, which was far behind that of foreign countries. Now the country was finally striving to catch up in this area, but he feared he couldn't shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
In Zhou Zhengye's mind, He Yuhan was always omnipotent. The machines she designed were impeccable and more advanced than similar products from abroad.
He came to Beili Village this time hoping to get some advice and help from He Yuhan.
As everyone sat in the living room, Zhou Zhengye said with a worried expression, "To be honest, I have no confidence at all about going back to lead the preparatory work for the automobile manufacturing plant."
Cars are far more complex and sophisticated than tractors, and given that our country's overall car manufacturing level isn't high, producing a decent product is truly difficult.
Han Yixian could see that Zhou Zhengye was under a lot of pressure. Indeed, this was a difficult task to begin with, and it was hard to say whether they would be able to produce qualified products in the future.
It might be easier if they could reach a cooperation agreement with a foreign car manufacturer. But that's easier said than done. Even if a cooperation were reached, how many concessions and benefits would they have to make and how much profit would they have to give up?
The others knew even less about cars, only that they were expensive and valuable items, and that producing them must be difficult. Everyone was worried about Zhou Zhengye.
Han Yi looked at his wife and said, "Yuhan, do you have any ideas?"
