Upon hearing this, the Zhao family elders quickly waved their hands, "No need, no need, don't cause trouble for your troops. We just want to chat with Huanhuan. A refrigerator isn't cheap, and we need to save money slowly. Overall, our lives are gradually improving, and in the future, every household will have these things."
Lin Yuan replied, "Definitely. I read the newspaper before. It said that the government has invested in several more appliance factories and is already ramping up the production of home appliances."
Zhao Fugui nodded, "Yes, yes, I saw the news too. Now we're focusing on both agriculture and industry, and good days are coming our way."
Zhao Huanhuan smiled but didn't say anything. Actually, this matter would take several years to resolve. She remembered that the opportunity for the country's rapid development began after the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on December 28, 1978, when the country began to implement domestic reforms and open up to the outside world.
It is now 1972, which means there are still six years left.
Six years later, the college entrance examination was officially reinstated, and high schools began to enroll students again. With the start of reform and opening up, the number of departments in universities increased, and the demand for students also grew.
In addition, with the opening up of coastal cities to the outside world, commerce has also developed rapidly.

If the amount involved was large, they could even be sentenced to death. Therefore, in the beginning, very few people dared to do business on their own.

A few daring individuals went to the industrial and commercial departments to apply for business licenses and were able to obtain them. Gradually, people realized that they could have another way to make a living, and they slowly took the first step into business, which quickly swept across the country.
Therefore, serious commercial development began in the 1980s. Zhao Huanhuan thought that before that, she should take good care of the four elderly people, settle the family first, and let Lin Yuan have no worries in the army, so that he could wait for the opportunity of reform and opening up.
