Chapter 354 What a big deal
"Why are you off work so late? Are you repairing the car again?" An Zhixia said with a smile while cooking, "This palm-sized place is already stuffy and fumes, why did you squeeze in? I can finish it in five minutes."
Fang Yuan was leaning against the wall, his head almost touching the door frame, with a lazy and extremely relaxed expression on his face, somewhat like the hipster look he had when nothing happened at home. His masculinity was almost stronger than the smoke and oil, making the whole kitchen five times hotter.
"Well," he nodded: "I just look at you. If I wasn't afraid that you would be angry and dislike me, I would want to be a pendant on your back."
An Zhixia smiled and glared at him, "How small and exquisite can you be called a pendant?"
Fang Yuan chuckled softly and didn't continue the conversation, but replied, "The team's vehicles need to be inspected every day. Today was a rare day without any orders, so we had a major inspection, which delayed us a bit. I guess we'll have to leave early and come back late again in the next week," his tone was filled with reluctance at the end.
"Do a good job," she smiled and stuffed a plate of food into his arms.
Fang Yuan held the plate in one hand and scooped up her head with the other, biting her. Seeing her beautiful eyes with a rare blur and her cheeks pink as if she were smeared with rouge, he felt a little relieved. "Wife, since I met you, I have always felt like I was dreaming. I am really afraid that I will wake up to a world without you."
An Zhixia bit his chin lightly, but felt a little numb from the stubble. "Does it hurt?"
His eyes immediately turned fierce, and he was filled with uncontrollable excitement. Before he could make a move, An Zhixia shouted at the top of her voice, "Guys, it's time to eat!"
After washing their hands, the children who had been waiting for a long time immediately opened the kitchen door and picked up the basket with chopsticks.
Fang Yuan sighed deeply and said quietly: "You can escape the monk but you can't escape the temple..."
After dinner, An Zhixia sat on the sofa in a daze. Not long after, Fang Yuan came over and hugged her. He leaned close to her ear and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
She frowned and told the question she had this morning, "The family members have different levels of quality and different skills. What kind of work should we assign to them?"
Before Fang Yuan could speak, she continued, "I read in the newspapers these days that the relationship between Xiahua and Country E is easing. Country E has a bad national environment and unbalanced development of light and heavy industries. How great would it be if we could use our surplus labor to produce light industrial products and then exchange them for their heavy industrial products?"
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows, obviously thinking of the dealer, "A truckload of watermelons for a tank?"
"It's not that exaggerated, right?" An Zhixia put on her best acting skills in front of him, and said in surprise: "If that's the case, then I can call on the family members to plant watermelons on their own vegetable plots, and then drag your transport team to deliver watermelons to Country E and bring back a team of tanks. The leaders will make sure they approve it unanimously!"
He chuckled, "You can do some small things in private, but if you bring it to the national level, it will involve many problems. Some issues of principle cannot be compromised."
“So, until the relationship between the two countries reaches a friendly level, this path won’t work?”
"Yes, the situation is tense right now. Everything Country E needs is imported from Continent O."
An Zhixia understood what he meant in just one sentence, and continued to ponder with a gloomy face.
Fang Yuan poked her cheek and smiled: "Your idea is actually correct, but the timing is wrong. Let's wait a few years and see if we can really exchange a truckload of watermelons for a tank.
Don't you just want to find work for the family members? It's not easy. Your overseas channel is a big window facing the world, showing many artistic things in Xiahua. These are not limited by national boundaries. As long as they look good, they will be sold.
Handicrafts such as embroidery, knitting, insoles, weaving, etc. should still be able to be sold at a good price.”
An Zhixia blinked, her eyes glanced at the children, and suddenly smiled: "I am being too picky. On the one hand, I want to improve the quality of my family members in a short period of time, and on the other hand, I want them to have a job that allows them to balance family and work. These two things can be the same thing, but they can also be completely separated."
Thinking about what Fang Yuan said, she couldn't help but clapped her hands and said, "The TV station should first set up an export handicraft factory to make some exquisite and practical items, and mobilize all men, women, old and young!"
"Then I'll call Xiaosheng and ask them to find some masters with superb skills for you to provide centralized training for your family members."
"Yes," she said with a smile, counting on her fingers, "We will hire these masters at a high price to provide technical guidance. By the way, Brother Yuan, you can also ask him to see if there are any teachers who are particularly good at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc. We can also hire them at a high salary to open interest classes for the children of the TV station and the transportation team.
I believe that when family members have jobs and the family has an additional income, whether it is to cultivate their sentiments or to increase their competitiveness in the society, parents who hope their children will become successful will definitely be willing to spend a small amount of money to let their children learn more. "
"Okay," Fang Yuan nodded in response, "In fact, your TV station now has a large number of employees and their families. In the future, your station will have many projects, and if the funds can be timely and sufficient, you can gradually develop supporting facilities, such as schools, clinics, newspapers, tailor shops, barber shops, supply and marketing cooperatives, etc., and you can also absorb some of the families."
An Zhixia couldn't help but turn her head and kiss him on the cheek, "Brother Yuan is awesome!"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and touched the place she kissed. He couldn't help but giggle, but he saw the children covering their mouths and laughing. He immediately coughed and said seriously: "It's not a big deal. It's my job to help my wife solve her problems."
"Don't you have to go to work in the afternoon? Go get some sleep, otherwise you won't be energetic," he said seriously. He pulled An Zhixia into the house and told the children to get some sleep as well.
An Zhixia now likes to write a plan for everything she does. Once she had an idea in her mind, she made a general outline of the arrangements for the family members to facilitate implementation. She specially called Li Hanqian and asked him to return the five people as soon as possible.
After finishing these, she began to immerse herself in conceiving movies and TV series. In the early 1970s, people's minds were not open enough, and the country also had many restrictions, which prevented her from giving full play to her ideas. As her first work, it must become a hit, and it must have a profound meaning and far-reaching influence, and have an epoch-making role, which is a milestone for Xiahua Film and Television!
An Zhixia took various newspapers and magazines from the station director over the past two years and carefully flipped through them, looking for some classic social phenomena that entertainers could capture. Her eyes stopped at a photo, which was a ruined wall covered with weeds and shrouded by the afterglow of the setting sun, with a doggerel about the sadness of autumn next to it.
