72. Chapter 72 The Smoke on the Ancestral Grave is Still There



"Come, there's free sunscreen, of course I'll come!" Xia Niannian was not polite either.

She is used to being straightforward. If she likes something, she likes it; if she wants something, she wants it.

Xia Niannian pushed back the sunscreen that Su Xiaoli gave her and said, "Keep this bottle and sell it. Such a good thing will definitely sell well."

Su Xiaoli smiled and stopped being polite to the carefree Xia Niannian.

"By the way, I have to remind you that you have offended the people in the supply and marketing cooperative, especially Director Liu. I heard that he is not someone you can easily mess with and is the best at playing dirty tricks behind people's backs."

I don’t know where Xia Niannian heard it from.

Su Xiaoli has never been afraid of open clashes, but she is hard to guard against the plots behind the scenes.

After all, the other party was a well-known figure in the county, and she also saw the gloomy look in Director Liu's eyes when he left.

What will the other party do to you?

There is no point in thinking too much, you can only deal with it as it happens.

It is best to surpass the opponent in strength as soon as possible, use offense as defense, and completely crush the opponent in strength, which is the most effective.

She smiled at Xia Niannian frankly, "It's nothing more than not letting me continue to set up the stall. I will be careful, Sister Nian Nian."

After being delayed for some time by a group of people from the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Xiaoli and Zhang Yu ate a few mouthfuls of food, ran to the city's train station, and headed towards the welfare home, pulling a dozen boxes of assembled infusion tubes.

Fortunately, it didn’t waste too much time.

Su Yuhe had been waiting at the gate of the welfare home, pacing back and forth excitedly, even forgetting to smoke.

When Su Xiaoli contacted him a few days ago, the old man was confused for a long time until Aunt Wu stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth and then he came to his senses.

The old couple thought that Su Yuhe's good luck would only start in the second half of her life.

Being a team leader or village chief means you gain the trust of the villagers and have a good reputation.

But the work that Su Xiaoli brought, whether it was the sorghum that Gu Feihan was going to harvest or the assembly of infusion tubes, meant real money!

The old couple lay in bed for a long time without saying a word.

After a long while, Aunt Wu finally said, "So, the smoke from the Su family's ancestral grave is still rising! Xiao Li is a lucky star. It's not just your fortune that's coming, it's probably the fortune of our village as well."

She said this with great certainty.

Look at what our little girl Li did. It's authentic and exquisite!

There is nothing to say! Su Yuhe knocked his pipe on the kang and nodded.

To be honest, although Wenquxing Su Jianguo passed away early, looking at the situation, the Su family's fortune is definitely not over.

Xiaoli is not only a blessed child, but also a kind-hearted child.

Even my grandson is not as sensible as Xiaoli!

Even though good things happened this time, she was still thinking about herself and the elderly people in the village.

When other people’s children get a chance, they all run to the city.

When little Li got the chance, she took it back to the village and her hometown!

With her heart like this, it’s hard to say whether smoke will rise from the ancestral grave, but this child will definitely have a long way to go in the future!

Su Yuhe felt excited.

If we do this job well, the elderly will not be so tight on winter expenses and will have a lot more money.

Moreover, everyone feels at ease using the money they earn with their own labor.

It's better than being pitied.

Just after lunch today, Su Yuhe gathered all the elderly people in the welfare home to the activity room. As long as those who were not completely blind and could still move their fingers, everyone came.

Just waiting for Su Xiaoli.

The elderly people who moved into the welfare home more or less knew that the money allocated from above was not much. Just looking at how worried Su Yuhe was a few days ago, everyone knew the answer.

The children at home can give them some pocket money every now and then.

But they are used to worrying about their children and family members all their lives, and they live in an orphanage just to stop causing trouble to others.

Especially for the elderly who still have some conflicts and frictions with their families, they are even more unwilling to cause any family conflicts because of their retirement.

What’s more, there are some lonely elderly people who don’t even have children.

Although life in the welfare home is not as comfortable as at home, you won't starve to death.

But if there is an illness or a disaster in the future, who can I rely on for the rest of my life?

To be honest, most elderly people do not have the confidence to face the future.

They usually don't say it, but they all have worries in their hearts.

Last time, Su Yuhe organized everyone to be self-reliant, open up land around the welfare home and grow some food, which encouraged everyone.

This time, they have the opportunity to make money by themselves without leaving their hometown! Who wouldn't rush to do it? It's hard to say whether the money is much or not, but at least they earn it by themselves, which is much better than relying on others, right?

Most of the elderly people who were used to working suddenly felt that they had a new direction, and even their mental state improved a lot.

Su Yuhe looked at the dozen or so large boxes, his mouth wide open in surprise.

However, he did not forget the main business and gave everyone an impassioned pre-war mobilization.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Su Xiaoli put on rubber gloves, placed the accessories on the table, and after the introduction, began to assemble and proof-make them one by one.

He Aiqing had taught her before, and she had also practiced repeatedly with the samples she brought back from Qingzhou. Even the most difficult "flow adjustment wheel" was not too difficult in her hands.

The girl has a calm expression and a tranquil temperament.

She assembled the parts carefully and steadily in order, as if any noise in the world could not affect her concentration on the infusion tube in front of her.

Su Xiaoli moved quickly and made a complete one in no time.

"Is everyone satisfied? Next, I will send a few trial packs to everyone, you can try it out first."

The rest of the work is up to Zhang Yu.

He was a rough old man, and was not as efficient as Xiao Li in assembling it, so the hose could not be passed through because of its twists and turns.

Zhang Yu was also puzzled.

The most difficult vehicles to repair in the army are all easily repaired in his hands.

Why is it so difficult to use such a small tube?

Zhang Yu and the old men were busy trying. Su Xiaoli pulled Su Yuhe aside and said, "Grandpa Su, it's about the reward."

Su Yuhe nodded, indicating that she should continue.

"Grandpa Su, since this is just elementary assembly, the wages won't be too high..."

Su Xiaoli purchased 10,000 sets this time, so there was room for negotiation on the price. The workshop director was also happy, and the two agreed on a commission of 20 cents per set.

She calculated the cost and found it was about 6 or 7 cents for each set.

This way, the welfare home can get a subcontract price of at most 0.1 cent per set.

As long as these 10,000 sets are completed on time, the welfare home will be able to earn around 1,000 yuan this month.

Whether it is distributed to every elderly person or used to purchase equipment for the welfare home to survive the winter, it can at least last for a while.

After the first batch of goods was sent back to the manufacturer for inspection and found to be fine, she dared to order a second batch, and even dared to increase the quantity! Of course, the idea is beautiful, and I hope the reality will not be too bleak.

Otherwise, she won’t have the confidence to ask for opportunities again in the future.

I have been busy these days, so I will update one chapter a day. Please forgive me, fellow readers! I will try to resume the normal update of two chapters next month.

Dear book friends, please wear more clothes when the weather is cold.
