The next day, Shen Xingchen drove Xu Jianzhong and Xu Hao to Lianhua Village.

Shen Xingchen and Mai Sui have been married for so long, the in-laws should always meet each other.

Xu Jianzhong also wanted to take this opportunity to see how Mai Sui grew up and why Chen Chien said that, causing him to worry to death on the train.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai have been in high spirits and looking very lively in the village these days.

They are the center of attention wherever they go, with a bunch of people surrounding them wanting to chat and get close to them.

Mai Laosan, a poor man who had suddenly become rich, became so proud of himself that he even mentioned building a factory in the village.

He originally planned to tell his brothers Mai Xiangdong and Mai Xiangnan only and didn't want to shout outside.

After all, nothing has been decided yet. It would be embarrassing if we fail to do it by then.

But sometimes people cannot stand being praised, and once everyone complimented him, Mai Lao San couldn't help but say it directly.

"My daughter is a person with her own ideas. If she says we should build it, then we will build it!

I can't help it, I love my daughters. Unlike you guys who value sons over daughters, my family values ​​daughters over sons!"

When some people compliment and please others, there are others who are envious, jealous and resentful, and want to belittle and ridicule others.

For example, Sun Dazhuang deliberately teased Mai Laosan: "What do you mean by favoring girls over boys? I think you are afraid of being beaten, right?"

When the others heard this, their lost memories began to revive.

So they also said, "Hahaha, Mai Laosan, does Mai Sui still beat you up now? He beat you up a lot when we were in the village before."

"Yeah, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. I haven't heard Mai Lao San's screams for a long time."

"Hahaha...."

The villagers burst into laughter.

Mai Lao San said unhappily, "You know nothing. This is how we get along in our family. Fighting and playing around means we have a good relationship."

No one believed this, after all, Mai Lao San screamed so miserably at the beginning.

Song Hewei happened to be basking in the sun outside and heard what Mai Laosan said.

However, her focus was not on Mai Lao San getting beaten, but on his plan to build a factory!

To be precise, it was Mai Sui who wanted to build a factory.

You know, Song Hewei was a person who lived a second life, so she knew that next year, that is, in 1978, the government would announce reform and opening up.

By that time, the planned economy was gradually replaced by the market economy, and a large number of people went into business and became big bosses with an annual income of ten thousand yuan.

It’s only 1977, and Mai Sui can think of these things and bravely put them into practice. It’s hard for Song Hewei not to admire him!

She confirmed once again that Mai Sui was the real boss in her previous life, and Shen Xingchen was just a small boss following the big boss.

As for whether the factory can be built now, Song Hewei is 100% sure that it can!

Reform and opening up will begin next year. If the government wants to implement such an important policy, it must conduct pilot projects and research in the market. It is impossible for it to come out of nowhere!

So, at this time, some of the older policies and regulations have begun to loosen.

Isn’t this move by Mai Sui a good attempt? The government will certainly not stop it.

Who knows, this may be used as a model to attract investment in the future.

The more Song Hewei thought about it, the more excited she became, because she suddenly found a way out for herself.

Her academic performance is not good and there is a high probability that she will not be able to get into university, but she can cling to Mai Sui and work in the Mai Sui factory. If she works hard, she might be able to become a small manager.

After all, compared to most people in the village, she is at least a high school student.

Nowadays, the college entrance examination has not been resumed yet, so high school students are considered to have a high level of education.

The more Song Hewei thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible.

Instead of waiting until next year, it is better to start your own business. Not only will it be hard, but you may not be successful.

It would be better to join the ranks of the big guys now.

From now on, even if the boss eats meat and she drinks soup, that would be great!

When Song Hewei was imagining the future here, she suddenly saw Shen Xingchen driving back.

Mai Laosan and other villagers also saw it.

Mai Laosan thought Mai Sui had also returned, but after Shen Xingchen got off the car, he did not see Mai Sui, but only saw two strange men.

Mai Hongcai was the first to greet Shen Xingchen: "Brother-in-law, why are you back? Where's my sister?"

"Yes, Xingchen, who are these two?" Mai Lao San also came over.

Shen Xingchen hurriedly introduced the two parties.

Although Xu Jianzhong is not Shen Xingchen's father, uncle is also a father, and Shen Xingchen was raised by Xu Jianzhong, which means he is like a relative.

Mai Laosan immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and shook hands. This was something he learned in the city. Leaders all liked to shake hands in this way.

"So you're my in-laws. Welcome, welcome. I'm so sorry that Xingchen didn't tell me in advance, otherwise I would definitely go to the city to pick you up."

When Mai Lao San was pretending, he looked quite genuine.

In addition, for the Chinese New Year, he specially made a new set of clothes, which made him look decent and quite intimidating.

Xu Jianzhong had a very good first impression of Mai Laosan.

He doesn't look like a country girl at all. He looks more like a city person than he does as he is from Beijing.

Moreover, he was not as reserved as other villagers and his behavior seemed very generous and natural.

Little did they know that these were all developed by Mai Lao San some time ago.

Because of the portable sewing machine, Mai Laosan had to deal with many city leaders, and his demeanor and temperament naturally changed.

Commonly known as, having seen the world.

In addition, since Mai Lao San was pretending, it naturally seemed more like the truth.

Afterwards, Mai Laosan warmly took the person home, made tea for him, and even gave him melon seeds, peanuts, and candies. He was very polite.

Xu Jianzhong felt even more satisfied.

Enthusiastic, generous, well-spoken, and dignified - this was Xu Jianzhong's first impression of Mai Lao San.

The daughter raised by such a person will definitely not be too bad.

As for what Chen Chien said, Xu Jianzhong thought that it might be a misunderstanding caused by the jealousy of the villagers.

At noon, Mai Laosan specially called Mai Xiangdong, Mai Xiangnan and Mai Xiangbei to his home to have lunch with Xu Jianzhong and his son.

It is also to let everyone get to know each other. After all, Shen Xingchen and Mai Sui are already married, and they are now relatives.

Xu Jianzhong looked at the food on the table, including fish, meat and wine, and felt very happy.

This shows that the people of Lao Mai's family are hospitable and sincere.

It seems that my nephew is living well here, and quite well!

The only pity is that I didn’t meet Mai Sui himself.

And he has to go back this afternoon, otherwise he will not be able to make it to work after the New Year.

There's nothing I can do about it, the train ride takes too long.

These days, train speeds are average and they are often delayed.

It took Xu Jianzhong three days and two nights to travel from the capital to Suyang, which was considered a good journey.

When Shen Xingchen went to the countryside, the train was delayed and it took him five days to arrive.

At the dinner table, Mai Laosan took out the portable sewing machine at home to show off to Xu Jianzhong.

"Brother Xu, look, this is what my daughter designed. She was just like me, she was smart since she was little, and now she's even smarter now that she's grown up!"
