Why did Yin Xiaoyu grow up to be so strong and healthy, while his two precious daughters were as thin as little monkeys jumping lightly in the woods?
At this moment, an unprecedented feeling of injustice surged into Lin Fang's heart, and she began to feel a little unfair about the treatment of her two daughters.
"Good children, this is given by your aunt, so just keep it quietly and enjoy it yourself. Don't let your grandparents and Xiaoyu find out." Lin Fang said in a gentle tone. These days, there is not much greasy meat. Even she, as a mother, can't resist the desire for delicious food occasionally. How can she easily share such precious meat with others?
When the two sisters heard this, their faces immediately broke into bright smiles, their eyes sparkling with joy, but they were cautious and asked softly, "Mom, Auntie is so kind to us. Can we go and help her with some work in the future? Just like adults, contribute to the family."
Lin Fang scoffed lightly upon hearing this, even as she scolded him, "You're useless! Are you satisfied with just this little bit of benefit?"
But his eyes were full of doting and satisfaction, and he finally nodded, acquiescing to his daughters' request.
After all, maintaining a good relationship with Yin Yunjie's family always has benefits and no harm.
Moreover, letting the children choose to help on their own is also a gesture of their kindness. Even if Uncle Jiang has any complaints in the future, he will not be able to blame her.
The two sisters carefully hid the precious oil-paper package in their parents' room, treating it as a treasure. After confirming that it was safe, they went to rest in the room they shared with Yin Xiaoyu with satisfaction.
They knew that if they placed it in the shared room, the clever Yin Xiaoyu would definitely discover the secret. In comparison, their parents' room seemed safer and more reliable.
Meanwhile, at the Xu family's home, Xu Qinghe and Yin Yunjie lay side by side in bed. As the night deepened, Xu Qinghe suddenly broke the silence, his voice filled with thought and anticipation: "I've been thinking, what if we could facilitate some cooperation between the village and the supply and marketing cooperative and start some small business? Do you think this idea is feasible?"
Yin Yunjie had just returned from a hard day's logging work and was having a drink with his companions to relax at night. He was feeling exhausted, but Xu Qinghe's words cheered him up and most of his sleepiness went away.
Xu Qinghe was obviously inspired by Ni Yuan and others, and began to think about how to build a bridge between the village and the supply and marketing cooperative. If successful, everyone might benefit from it.
Upon closer thought, this plan does make sense.
Every household in the village is self-sufficient, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden not only meet daily needs but also often have surplus; in the bustling city, fresh green vegetables have become a rare luxury, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are often stretched due to supply shortages and lack a stable and reliable source of supplements.
In this way, cooperation with rural areas becomes a win-win choice.
However, there is no precedent for such a cooperation model. Even if the supply and marketing cooperative intends to expand cooperation, there is no reason to insist on Fengtai Village.
In order to make this happen, Xu Qinghe felt that the road ahead would not be smooth and that he would need to overcome many obstacles.
After hearing this, Yin Yunjie paused for a moment before answering, "It's a good idea, but the process probably won't be easy."
Xu Qinghe felt a little comforted when he heard this, and his tone became firm: "Everything depends on human effort. No matter how difficult the road is, I am determined to give it a try."
She clenched her fists, knowing that in any era, only by continuous efforts and struggles can one reap sweet fruits.
Constant hesitation and fear will only make opportunities slip away and ultimately achieve nothing.
"Old Hou has close contacts with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, so perhaps we can ask him to act as a go-between." Yin Yunjie also showed a serious attitude. Naturally, he fully supported his wife's ambition.
Xu Qinghe shook his head slightly, insisting, "Don't bother Lao Hou. I want to try it myself first. If I really reach the end of my rope, it won't be too late to ask for help from friends."
Her decision was both to test Yin Yunjie's opinion and to take into account the inconvenience that might be caused by his special identity.
As for utilizing personal connections, Xu Qinghe has never been that kind of person. The debt of favor is the hardest to repay, and she is unwilling to bear too much burden unless it is absolutely necessary.
Yin Yunjie knew clearly in his mind that Lao Hou and the others were as close to him as brothers and were a solid backing worthy of trust, but in response to Xu Qinghe's insistence, he decided to let her give it a try.
She always inadvertently showed abilities beyond his expectations, and that talent made him both admire and feel gratified.
"Promoting village-community cooperation is indeed a good thing, which can effectively improve the living standards of villagers. However, fresh vegetables cannot be continuously supplied to every household. If we ignore the long-term benefits only for short-term interests, it may not be worth the loss." Yin Yunjie's eyes were gentle but revealed a hint of worry.
Xu Qinghe had already made up his mind about this.
She understands that it is difficult to maintain a long-term supply of seasonal vegetables, as each family's vegetable garden resources are limited and a continuous supply cannot be guaranteed.
True cooperation requires finding a long-term and stable supplier to go further.
She raised a mysterious smile and whispered, "I already have a plan. I'll tell you when everything is settled."
This sentence leaves room for imagination.
Yin Yunjie responded with a subtle smile and did not ask any further questions.
He knew very well that since Xu Qinghe said he would tell him later, there must be a clear answer.
This tacit understanding and trust allows them to communicate without words.
After the conversation, Xu Qinghe felt tired like a tide and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Her dream seemed to guide her, and she stepped into that strange space again to get soybeans and peas.
Yin Yunjie is about to return to the team, and the next vacation seems to be a long way off.
In order to prevent Xu Qinghe from worrying about the fuel problem at home, he used the last few days to go up the mountain to cut wood every morning until sunset, striving to fill the firewood room.
Although Xu Qinghe seems to be relaxed on the surface, he is actually implementing his plan step by step.
She first carefully soaked the soybeans in water to swell them, then carefully ground the peas into a fine powder, extracting the starch step by step...
Although these tasks are tedious and repetitive, she does not feel bored because she has a goal in mind. Instead, she finds a different kind of satisfaction in the busyness.
At the same time, Sun Youfang was recuperating at home due to a foot injury. She had not appeared for several days and became the quietest person in the family.
On the eve of Yin Yunjie's return to the team, as soon as the sky turned pale, Xu Qinghe had already ridden the old bicycle, heading towards the hustle and bustle of the city, and headed straight for the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.
There was already a long queue in front of the door. She joined the crowd, thinking about stocking up as much meat as possible. Whether it was beef or pork, they were both precious delicacies on the family table.
While waiting, Xu Qinghe took out a small bag of five-spice melon seeds from her bag and started chatting with the saleswoman Feng Jie next to her while eating them.
