Zhao Youcai never expected that he could form such a good relationship on the train.
Zhao Youcai suddenly thought of the instant noodle business with the military region. The elderly couple across from him had boarded the train at the same station, so they might also be from that military region.
Zhao Youcai chuckled and pulled out several packets of instant noodles from his bag, but in reality, he was using the bag as a cover to take them out of the warehouse.
"This is instant noodles that my family made ourselves. You can eat it by soaking it in water or boiling it. The instructions for eating it are written on the packaging. Just follow the instructions."
The old man opposite him was clearly surprised.
Suddenly I remembered that when we first met, I only knew that the old man's surname was Zhao, but I didn't ask for his full name.
This instant noodle dish was quite popular with the leaders of the military region for several days. They still remembered Old Zhao, who was capable of making instant noodles.
After all, anyone dealing with the military region has to undergo a strict political review, and the person who ordered the investigation of Zhao Youcai's entire family was himself.
"You must be Zhao Youcai from Zhao Jiagou. Your instant noodles are indeed very convenient. We came to Haishi this time to talk to you about your instant noodles."
Ultimately, if the instant noodles made by Zhao Youcai's family really became one of the reserve grains for the national military region, Zhao Youcai's family's instant noodles would obviously not be able to supply enough.
When instant noodles become an essential military supply, Zhao Youcai's small workshop will definitely need to be expanded. Who knows, the military region might even have to take the lead, providing money, manpower, and machinery to help Zhao Youcai establish an instant noodle factory.
Even if it's impossible to promote instant noodles to the point that they are needed in all military regions across the country, this factory will still be established.
After all, he had already made up his mind that his military region would have to expend a lot of resources.
Since we'll have to discuss these things with Zhao Youcai sooner or later, we might as well establish a relationship sooner to make it easier and more pleasant to promote future cooperation.
Zhao Youcai quickly reached out and shook hands tightly with the other person, his palms sweating with excitement.
After all, this was the head of the military region, the highest-ranking official he had ever met in his life.
The old man patted Zhao Youcai's hand with a smile, "After you've taken care of things here, remember to come to my house before you leave."
He needed to find out when Zhao Youcai would return to Zhaojiagou so he could make arrangements for the follow-up matters.
After getting off the train, he planned to call the military region first and tell them to focus on training instead of going to Zhao Jia Gou to find people right now.
What's the point of looking for him? The person he's looking for is sitting right across from him.
Zhao Youcai naturally nodded in agreement, carefully reading the note the leader gave him several times, trying to memorize the address.
Then, he carefully put the note into his pocket, and didn't forget to pat it gently.
On the day the third brother, Zhao Jianhua, saw Zhao Youcai off, he made a special trip to the post office and, according to the address left by the youngest brother, Zhao Jianfei, gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to send a telegram.
Almost the instant Zhao Youcai stepped off the train and onto the platform, he saw his youngest son jumping around like a wild, untamed monkey from the deep mountains.
"Dad! Dad, look over here! Dad, look at me!"
Zhao Youcai really wanted to steel himself, close his eyes, and rush forward without a care, pretending he hadn't seen him at all.
Unfortunately, there were only two exits, and my youngest son happened to be standing behind the railing between the two exits.
This move was truly brilliant; Zhao Youcai simply couldn't avoid it.
They couldn't very well shamelessly follow the old leader, who hadn't been in good health for long, and leave through the special passage.
Zhao Youcai could only carry his small bag to his youngest son and let his son frantically fawn over him.
Since Zhao Jianfei came to Haishi, he has changed a lot.
The spoiled young master who used to be waited on hand and foot has lost his temper and instead become a civilized and polite young man.
"Dad, you must be tired after taking the train for dozens of hours. I'll help you carry your things. The chicken soup at home is still warming in the clay pot. You can drink it when we get home."
Zhao Youcai was slightly surprised; this was something he hadn't expected.
I originally thought this kid had spent most of his money, and it was good that he wasn't so poor that he had to dig up wild vegetables to eat by the roadside.
The father and son walked forward chatting and laughing. When they arrived at the small courtyard where Zhao Jianfei was staying, Zhao Youcai was even more satisfied.
Although the place looked small, it was kept neat and clean.
The aroma of chicken soup wafted from the kitchen, and Zhao Youcai, who hadn't had much to eat on the train, took a deep sniff.
fragrant!
The brat really needs to be sent out to experience things on his own. Growing up with family and having someone to back him up is definitely not enough.
Look! How long has it been?
The changes were so drastic that even his own father could hardly recognize him.
"I've prepared your room for you. You've worked hard. Get a good night's sleep and rest tonight. It's the weekend, so I don't have to work tomorrow. I'll take you for a walk around the neighborhood."
Zhao Jianfei was deeply moved. He didn't think Zhao Youcai had any other business to attend to. He was convinced that his elderly father was worried about him not having enough to eat or wear and had come to see him.
Zhao Youcai, however, did not feel tired at all; on the contrary, he was full of energy.
Especially after getting to know the leader, he felt even more empowered.
Let him eat and drink his fill and then lie down to rest.
impossible!
Moreover, the certificates issued by the captain only cover a few days, and most of the time is spent on the train.
Zhao Youcai made up his mind to eat his fill, rest for half an hour, and then go out to see what kind of delicious food the locals usually eat so he could bring back some souvenirs.
As for looking at watches and other delicate items, I'll wait until tomorrow to go shopping with my son.
Zhao Youcai sighed with emotion, thinking how prosperous the mirages of later generations were.
The city looks quite ordinary now, but it has Zhao Youcai very excited.
It's generally good.
This shows that the system is not perfect enough, and there is no regulation requiring a certain number of years of social security contributions in a particular region before one can buy a house.
The lack of urban development indicates that land prices are not high, and areas where land prices could rise to exorbitant levels in the future are suitable for investment.
While Zhao Youcai was pondering things in his mind, he didn't forget to ask Zhao Jianfei aloud.
"Are houses expensive here? I think you're doing well here. It's better to own your own place than to rent and never know when the landlord will kick you out."
Zhao Jianfei had certainly considered buying a house, but he still smiled and waved his hand in refusal.
“My job is pretty good. As long as I have enough years of service, my company will provide me with housing.”
Zhao Youcai knew that the welfare benefits of enterprises and institutions were better than ever, and that they would even reach their peak in the 1970s and 1980s.
But who would complain about having too many houses?
What if the allocated housing only grants the right to reside there, but not ownership?
Zhao Youcai didn't want to watch the money slip away right under his nose, but he added:
"Find some time to ask your landlord how much they want for this house. If the price is right and your landlord wants to sell it, buying it as a temporary place to stay wouldn't be a bad idea."
