Chapter 81
Cheng Su has been worried about going abroad recently.
"Going abroad?"
"The school has places for students to be sent abroad."
"Everyone wants to go abroad, but it's not easy to get an opportunity like this, right?" Zhen Zhen asked.
Cheng Su sighed:
"In addition to the political review, the most important thing is the professional level and English level. As you know, my English is not very good, but after being taught by you for a period of time, I am much better than my classmates. The professor thinks my professional level is good and hopes that I will study hard for the exam and prepare for the government-sponsored study abroad."
Zhen Zhen was even more excited than her, "This is a great opportunity, you must grab it!"
Nowadays, those who go abroad become big shots after returning home.
Cheng Su was a little distressed. "Not to mention that the exam is a selection of the best, even if I really pass the exam, I don't really want to go."
"Why?" Zhen Zhen was puzzled.
"It's said that I'm being sent abroad by the government, but I'm only given 800 yuan for my travel expenses, and I have to pay for the rest myself. I have to pay for the transfer fee to the United States, living expenses, and tuition fees myself. I'm afraid I don't have the money to complete the entire course."
When young people encounter something bad, they feel like the sky is falling.
Zhen Zhen used to be like this, but now he feels that no matter how big the problem is, it is nothing.
She smiled and comforted:
"What's that? The government gave you 800 yuan for clothing, and your Aunt Zhen gave you 10,000 yuan! Go change it into US dollars and spend it abroad."
Cheng Su's eyes widened. "Ten thousand? I can't even pay it back even if you sell it!"
"Why can't you pay it back? You're studying abroad and you're still worried about not being able to pay back this little money? Cheng Su, do you know? Information gap is very important. Right now, the country is in a state of disrepair and in need of talent. If you could go to America and see which industries are doing well there, and then come back to China and practice your skills, you can earn not only 10,000, but 10 million!"
"Aren't you afraid that I won't pay you back? Ten thousand is not a small amount."
"Mrs. Zhen has only met you once, but she still doesn't know who you are?"
Cheng Su's eyes gradually became moist, and her heart was filled with unspeakable happiness and warmth.
It would be great if Aunt Zhen was her biological mother.
It is her life's blessing to have such good elders.
"Do you really think I should go?"
"Go! Observe more, practice more, and understand the rules of the industry you like in advance. Don't put all your energy into studying. Of course, learning is also important."
Cheng Su promised Aunt Zhen firmly as if she had joined the party:
"Auntie Zhen, please wait for me to return after I finish my studies. Then I will stay by your side and be filial to you."
People, don't have too high expectations of others.
Zhen Zhen waved her hands, smiled and followed her.
Zhen Zhen stayed in Beijing for two more days and then took the train back.
Tan Wenyin prepared snacks and fruits, many of which were high-end goods from imported stores.
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble Wen Yin."
Tan Wenyin felt a little embarrassed. Her best friend told her that mothers-in-law are not good people. Tan Wenyin also thought that after getting married, her mother-in-law would give her trouble.
Who would have thought that after waiting for several days, I didn't get any trouble but got a big red envelope from my mother-in-law.
Now that her mother-in-law is leaving, she is reluctant to let her go.
"Mom, come back during the Chinese New Year! I'll buy you a ticket!"
Zhen Zhen smiled and waved his hands, "You have your life to live, and I have mine to live. The business in my hometown is making money, and I can't leave you alone for a day. As for you, if you are not busy during the New Year, go back to visit Meng Hua."
The last time Meng Hua went home, Tan Wenyin wanted to go back with him, but she was busy with work and didn't get leave.
"Mom, my dad is alone at home during the Chinese New Year, and I'm a little worried about him."
Zhen Zhen didn't think so. "What's so difficult about this? You and Meng Hua can spend the New Year with your father and then go back. Home is right there, and you won't leave."
Tan Wenyin smiled and hugged her, "Mom, thank you for your tolerance."
Zhen Zhen patted her on the back and said, "If Meng Hua bullies you, call Mom."
"Hey! Mom, brother, sister-in-law, have a safe trip."
Tan Wenyin watched their train leave, and when they were far away, she sincerely said to Meng Hua:
"Meng Hua, you have a good mother. She is a very charismatic person."
"My mother also praised you as a good daughter-in-law." Meng Hua hugged her shoulders.
Tan Wenyin snuggled into his arms. They had just gone to bed and their feelings were heating up. They were clinging to each other. Meng Hua couldn't help but feel distracted when he smelled the sweet fragrance of her hair.
"Wife, let's go back and have some fun?"
Tan Wenyin blushed and gave him a slap in the face, "Get out of here! All you do is argue all day long!"
Meng Hua covered his chest and said, "What do you mean, you bully others as soon as mom left?"
"Aren't you just being a hooligan?"
"Are you sure? I don't have any other women. If I'm not being rude to you, who would I be rude to?"
The two of them quarreled and fought, but they were actually much closer than before they got married.
When Zhen Zhen returned to the county town, Leader Xiao Chen, who was in charge of meeting her, came over on a bicycle.
"Auntie Zhen, the land has been approved! I heard that you came back by train this morning, so I came to tell you!"
Leader Xiao Chen had just got off work and was very hungry, so Zhen Zhen took a few biscuits and stuffed them into his hands.
"Has it really been approved?"
Leader Chen took a bite of the biscuit and said, "Is this true? We have discussed it in the meeting and it has been decided. I will take you to have a look later."
The county not only approved the land, but also approved a loan.
But for Zhen Zhen, developing instant noodles requires more than just solving the problems of money and land.
Leader Chen was stunned. "Auntie, what do you think is the most important thing?"
Zhen Zhen pondered: "Instant noodles need to be fried, and the raw material is flour, but now it is a planned economy, where can we find so much food and oil?"
Of course, Zhenzhen’s food factory does not just produce instant noodles.
But instant noodles can make her a lot of money, so of course she wants to be the first to try it.
Leader Xiao Chen said: "At the last meeting, the leader said that he would help you as much as possible. I will go back and implement it and give you an accurate answer."
For several days, Xiao Chen rode his bicycle, which was full of noise except for the bell, to various departments to communicate with the leaders.
Finally, Zhen Zhen gave a positive reply.
"The leaders said they would solve the main problems, but of course, the companies themselves need to come up with other solutions to overcome the difficulties."
Zhen Zhen thought, this answer is quite cunning.
It's the same as saying nothing.
But what can she do? Just do it!
In the past, all factories were state-owned. This time, the county leaders supported private enterprises, which was considered "audacious".
There is no precedent, so we can only grope forward.
After discussing with Meng Daguo, Zhen Zhen planned to ask Meng Dajian and Meng Dazhu to form a construction team and find some rural laborers to help them build factories and houses.
Meng Dajian was eating when Meng Daguo opened the curtain and came in.
"Daguo?" Meng Dajian quickly asked Meng Daguo to sit down, "Ask your sister-in-law to get you another pair of chopsticks."
"I've already eaten, so you don't need to entertain me."
Meng Daguo talked about the factory construction. Meng Dajian and Zhou Shufen were cooking pork heads in the county town and had heard about their good mother-in-law's plan to build a factory.
Meng Dajian also wanted to take over the contract, but since his aunt hadn't asked, he couldn't shamelessly ask for it.
Isn’t it enough that his aunt helps them?
Zhou Shufen sells pork heads, her daughter goes to school, and he does renovation. Which one isn't done by his aunt?
He knew what was right and what was wrong, but he couldn't open his mouth. Who knew that his aunt never forgot about them wherever she went.
Meng Dajian said excitedly:
"Auntie, are you really willing to let us do it?"
"Hey, that's too polite. Why don't you let your family make money? Why give it to outsiders?" Meng Daguo smiled. "Since you are family, I have to say it in advance. You can't make too much money from me."
"Daguo, you are being too polite. How much can I earn from you? I will be satisfied as long as you can give me food to eat."
Meng Daguo stood up and said, "After the drawings are finished, I'll give them to you to calculate how much it will cost. My mother said that we can either contract it out or we can provide the materials and pay you a daily wage."
Meng Dajian was not picky. "You should discuss it with Auntie. Dazhu and I have no objection."
As soon as he left, Zhou Shufen whispered:
“This must be a lot of money, right?”
Meng Dajian's heart was beating wildly. "That's right. It's just a factory. Even if they pay me the wages of an ordinary worker, they haven't treated me unfairly."
After finalizing the plan to build the factory, Zhen Zhen immediately sent his two sons to the island country.
It was Meng Daguo and Meng Dajian's first time going abroad and they were extremely nervous, fearing that they would embarrass themselves abroad.
Zhen Zhen simply told them some rules and reminded them to pay attention to hygiene etiquette and not to make a fool of themselves.
It is not uncommon to go to an island country to buy production lines nowadays.
Most of the instant noodle production lines in the country were introduced from island countries.
In addition to the production line for bagged fried instant noodles, Zhen Zhen also plans to inquire about the price of the barrel noodle production line.
Just like that, Meng Daguo and Meng Eryong were taken to the train to the provincial capital by Zhen Zhen without any preparation and in a state of trepidation.
Si Ya’s household registration was finally settled. The name Meng Daguo gave her before she left was Zhen Xin!
Jiao Huilan likes this name very much.
"Zhen Xin sounds like a name given by city people. Our Si Ya is also following suit and sounding fashionable."
Zhen Zhen smiled and registered the Zhenxin brand, so Meng Daguo named Si Ya Zhen Xin.
"It's up to you. Just don't regret it."
"No regrets! My mother's last name is the best!"
Mannon grumbled unhappily:
"Why is it that only Si Ya can have Grandma's last name? I also want to have the last name Zhen. From tomorrow on, I will change my name to Zhen Nan!"
Zhennan? Really difficult?
Zhen Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and told her to go wherever she wanted.
At the end of the month, Zhen Zhen received a letter from Cheng Su, saying that she had passed the exam and received 800 yuan in clothing expenses from the country, and was preparing to go abroad.
Zhen Zhen gave her ten thousand without saying a word.
