After lunch, the two left Zhao's house.

"Ziyuan, I want to go back to Beijing."

On the way to take the bus back to town, Song Fuyu announced her decision.

"Return to Beijing?"

"Um."

Showing the photos to them was one thing. Originally, she wanted to send the written plan to her grandfather, but she was worried that some questions would not be answered in time. So after consideration, she decided to go there herself so that any problems could be solved at that time.

"But I don't have any vacation time at the moment."

Teacher Li had just approved him for half a month's leave some time ago, so it would be almost impossible for him to take a long vacation for a period of time afterwards.

He originally planned to take a few days off during the Chinese New Year and bring Xiao Yu home to hold the wedding. He had also made arrangements with Division Commander Li before, but now that the incident happened suddenly, he was definitely unable to leave the army.

"I will go by myself."

"No! I'm worried about you going back alone."

"It's okay, I can go by myself, you just need to buy me the ticket."

If he went to buy the ticket, he could buy a sleeper berth, but if she went by herself, she could only buy a seat ticket at most.

"There's no rush for Tan Lixia. Just print out the photos and send them to dad. I'll call him and tell him what I've learned."

"I'm not here just for this matter. I have other things I want to discuss with Grandpa."

"Something else? What?"

"Um...I forgot to tell you."

Before this, she had been talking about Qin Lixia, and had not yet revealed to him her idea of ​​setting up a factory.

While waiting for the bus at the bus station, the two found a step and sat down. Song Fuyu took out the plan she had written from her bag and handed it to Yan Ziyuan.

"This is the plan I wrote. I originally wanted to send it to Grandpa. But now that this has happened, I decided to go home and say it in person. It would be clearer than writing it down in black and white."

"Please help me check if there is any problem."

Yan Ziyuan took the small stack of white papers sewn together with thread, looked down, and saw the words "Factory Preparation Plan" written in black pen on the white cover.

"Wife, do you want to start a factory?"

He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Yu to have such a big idea.

"Don't ask so many questions yet. Since there's still half an hour before you get on the bus, take a good look at the plan I wrote."

Song Fuyu stopped him from asking further questions and asked him to turn his attention to the plan.

She didn't write something too complicated, and described the contents in the most understandable language. She also added simple annotations for some places that she thought might require some thought.

The plan was not written as professionally and completely as it was later, and some areas were left open to be supplemented after discussion with my grandfather.

After all, she is the original owner's identity and has only a junior high school diploma. If she could write perfectly all at once, it would be strange if her grandfather didn't doubt it after reading it.

This plan was fifteen pages in total, written entirely by hand, and took me a day and a night to complete. When I finished it, I could hardly feel the existence of my hands.

I miss the days when we had computers and printers.

It was a bit difficult to read the entire plan carefully in half an hour, so some things about setting up a factory and planning cooperation were skipped. Song Fuyu pointed to the content related to cooperation with the army and asked him to read it carefully. After all, he had been in the army for so many years and might understand some of the situation.

"What do you think? Any problems?"

"I think the military will agree with the cooperation method and profit share described in it."

"But when it comes to orders, the proportion of individual rewards is too high, so it may be difficult to agree. After all, most of them are state-owned factories and individuals receive fixed salaries."

He was worried about dampening Song Fuyu's enthusiasm, so he expressed it in a rather tactful way.

It says it is a reward, but it is more accurate to describe it as dividends. Under the current planned economy, this possibility is almost zero.

"Can we discuss the individual reward method for success? This is all tentative. We'll talk about it after I see Grandpa. In other aspects, do you think my chances of success in negotiating to set up a factory are high?"

“Why do you want to start a factory?”

Yan Ziyuan did not answer her question, but asked a question in return.

“In fact, it can’t be called a factory. It’s more like a workshop or studio.”

"After the New Year, I will go to Lu City with you."

"If you go on a mission, I will be alone at home, and there will be nothing else to do except looking after the house."

"We are not planning to have children at the moment, so I have to find something to do. Otherwise, I will be depressed if I stay in the house alone facing the wall every day."

"Think about it, if I succeed, it will help many veterans and their families find jobs. Not only will it benefit the army, but I can also make money. For now, I think the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages."

There are some benefits, too, which she didn't mention.

If the employment problems of some retired soldiers can be really solved, even if it is not many, just dozens or hundreds, it will have a very positive impact on Yan Ziyuan.

They are husband and wife, and he shouldn't be the only one rushing to the front to protect the family from wind and rain.

She was behind him and wanted to do something together within her ability.

Even if she doesn't set up a factory now, she will do the same after the reform and opening up.

When she traveled through time, she didn't expect to meet Yan Ziyuan, and she didn't expect her lover to be a soldier. Now that the plan has been brought forward, although it is a bit difficult to implement, it will be more convenient for future development and can directly seize the opportunity in the clothing industry.

What's more, the partner she chose was the army, not a state-owned factory.

This backer is much more reliable than a certain factory.

"Wife, I just don't want you to be so tired."

"Don't worry, there's nothing to be said about it right now, so it's not certain whether it will work out or not. If it doesn't work out, I'll just stay at home and wait for Comrade Yan to feed me, and I'll rely on you to support me."

"If the deal is successful, I won't make it too big for now, and will just do it in the form of a family workshop."

She didn't plan to build a factory directly. Although she had money, it was not convenient for her to spend it for the time being. Moreover, even if she cooperated with the army, it would be extremely difficult to allocate a piece of land for building a factory.

"If it doesn't make you too tired, then I support your decision."

"But I suggest that you talk to Dad instead of Grandpa."

"Grandpa has retired now, but Dad is still in the army. Compared to Grandpa, Dad actually has more say."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"So you agree that I can go to Jing City alone?"

"As for your going to Beijing City by yourself, let me think about it again."
