As for the corn, once my older brother arrives, you two will be in charge. From now on, I'll mainly be in charge of the home appliances and timber.
Let's work hard, brothers, and try to get a bigger share of the money to go home for the New Year this year.
After finishing the phone call, Sheng Xiping called Liu Yuhe over, and the two discussed the matter.
Wu Yucheng still has work to do, so he can't keep taking leave.
So after staying here for two months, Wu Yucheng will have to go back to work for two months.
Before going back, Wu Yucheng said that he wanted to go back to apply for a leave of absence without pay and then come back to work full-time with Sheng Xiping.
The company has hired some clerks, but only Sheng Xiping and Liu Yuhe are capable of handling the overall situation, so there aren't enough people.
Sheng Xiping had originally thought of asking Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo, and others to come and lend a hand, but the winter sports season was about to begin, and all of them already had jobs.
After all, not everyone has Sheng Xiping's courage to give up a secure job and start a business.
Besides, this kind of thing should be said to someone in person, not over the phone.
So Sheng Xiping planned to go home during the Chinese New Year and discuss it with Chen Weiguo and the others.
Liu Yujiang was different. In the agricultural team, there was nothing to do in the winter; he just stayed at home and hibernated.
Perfect timing! Let Liu Yujiang bring a few capable people over and hand over the corn-handling business to them. This will free up Sheng Xiping to do other things.
There are plenty of profitable businesses out there. How many can Sheng Xiping manage by himself? If there's money to be made, let's all make it together.
"Hmm, that's about right. We should have finished planting the clubs by now."
"Then I'll call home and tell my older brother to come over as soon as possible." Liu Yuhe calculated the time; there shouldn't be any more chores at home.
Over the past six months, Liu Yujiang has grown rapidly by following Sheng Xiping around the country, and he has figured out all the ins and outs of the corn business.
It's a good opportunity to invite my older brother over too; we can all make money together.
"Okay, then go ahead and make the call. Also, please give my master and mistress their regards."
I told them I'm too busy right now and can't go back for a while, but I'll visit them when I go home for the Chinese New Year.
For the past six months or so, Sheng Xiping has been traveling between Northeast China and Shenzhen, returning to Songjianghe only a handful of times, let alone the forest farm. How could he have time to bother with that?
"Let's work hard, brothers. This year when we go home, we'll have everything we need, including a color TV and a washing machine. We'll go home for the New Year in style."
Sheng Xiping leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "We'll see. If we make a lot of money at the end of the year, we'll try to get a few cars too."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuhe was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "I don't really care about cars, a color TV will do."
"If we take this back, wouldn't the whole alkali field come to our house to watch TV?" Liu Yuhe couldn't help but grin as he thought about the scene.
For him, no amount of money he brought home could compare to the joy of bringing home a color TV.
You know, there aren't even any black and white TVs in the village now. If he brings back a color TV, it will be the only one of its kind.
"Look at your meager aspirations! You're satisfied with just a color TV." Sheng Xiping couldn't help but laugh. Who doesn't yearn for a good life?
The two brothers chatted for a while, then the phone rang again, so they each went about their own business.
Liu Yuhe went to great lengths to call the Dajianchang (a type of alkali plant) and tell Liu Yujiang what Sheng Xiping meant.
Liu Yujiang, on the other hand, had been secretly eyeing the same thing for a long time.
In the past six months, Liu Yuhe hadn't been home many times, but each time he did, he would give his family tens of thousands of yuan. It would be impossible for Liu Yujiang not to be envious.
But he was the brigade secretary, and the household contract responsibility system had not yet been implemented locally; the production team model was still in place.
If Liu Yujiang also quits, there will be no one to take over the team's affairs.
So, even though Liu Yujiang was itching to quit his job and head south, he didn't have the heart to just abandon his job and go south.
Just as they finished working on the ginseng field, Liu Yuhe called. When Liu Yujiang heard that Sheng Xiping wanted him to bring people over, he was overjoyed.
"Dad, Mom, the second son called and said that Xiping asked me to bring a few people over to help because they are too busy."
"Do you think this is a good idea?" Liu Yujiang went home and discussed it with his parents.
Liu Changde stayed in the capital for nearly two months in the spring, until Wu Lao was fully recovered and able to walk on his own, before Liu Changde felt relieved and returned home.
This year, Liu Yuhe is doing business in the south, and Liu Yujiang is busy with the affairs of the brigade, so Liu Changde has to take care of things at home.
Fortunately, Liu Changde is not too old and is in good health, so he can do some work without any problems.
With the autumn harvest finally over and all the grain stored away, Liu Changde could finally relax and take a break.
After hearing his eldest son's words, Liu Changde pondered for a while before speaking.
"Sure, go ahead if you want. Take advantage of your youth, go out and explore the world."
Anyway, there's not much to do in winter. Usually, we just go hunting in the mountains. If you help Xiping, you can earn a little more."
From the moment Liu Yuhe first returned home and threw 30,000 yuan into the house, Liu Changde could tell that his eldest son was up to no good.
So Liu Changde didn't stop him at this point. "Go ahead, who would complain about having too much money?"
There are seven boys in the family, and there will be many places to spend money in the future. How can we manage if we don't earn some money?
"Don't worry about things at home. Your dad and I are here. The kids are all grown up and don't need our help. You can go out and make your way in the world without worrying about anything." Qin Qiuyan also expressed her support.
And so, Liu Yujiang made up his mind to head south.
