Li Waishan stood up in shock when he heard Su Li's words, "What? You want to apply for a foundation to build your own factory?"
No wonder he was surprised. Although he had received a notice that he could be a self-employed person, what did he think at the time? Who would dare to do this? He didn't expect that the land contract system had just been notified yesterday, and Su Li was going to build a factory today.
He really didn't understand what these young people were doing.
"Think it over carefully, this is not a joke."
Su Li smiled and said, "Uncle Waishan, if I was joking I wouldn't have come to you. I really want to do it. Although there is a brown sugar factory in our village now, once the corresponding policies come down, it is not certain whether our village can still have the final say on this place."
Li Waishan immediately said excitedly: "How can it not be our decision? We built this with our own hands."
"That's all I'm saying. Uncle, can you please apply for me as soon as possible? Just tell me how much it costs, and I can prepare to contact the bricklayer."
"Well, I understand. I'll get it done for you as soon as possible."
"Okay, uncle, you've worked hard. When my factory is built, please come over and have a drink with my dad!"
"Haha, where's she!"
In the evening, Xie Zhengchuan came back and brought Su Li a serving of squirrel fish and braised pork from a state-owned restaurant. Xie's mother made a big pot of noodle soup and heated up a pot of meat buns, which were just right to eat with these two dishes.
They had not finished their meal when Xie Zhenghe and Pan Yumei came over. Xie Zhengchuan greeted them and the two brothers began to drink together. Because there were children at home, they each had a small cup and sipped it slowly.
Su Li had finished her meal and went to the room to look after the child. Pan Yumei had nothing to do, so she also went into the room to look after the child.
"Look at these three children. They are really growing up and are so handsome."
Su Li touched Jing Hui's little hand and smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't you plan to have another one?"
Pan Yumei blushed, "Of course I haven't thought about it. Your elder brother wants it too. But Lai Fu, Xiang Zhi, Xiang Qin and Xiao Dong are still young. We are afraid that the children will think too much, so we dare not have it."
"No, sister-in-law, you are too cautious. I heard from aunt and mother that sometimes you don't dare to pet Lai Fu when he is naughty. You always let Xiao Dong give in to his older brothers and sisters. Sister-in-law, you are a bit too formal. You are pushing the child away."
Pan Yumei was stunned when she heard Su Li's words, "How could that be? I was just afraid that the children would feel that having a stepmother would be bad for them, so..."
"But sister-in-law, is this right for Xiaodong? Sister-in-law, Lai Fu, Xiang Zhi and Xiang Qin understand each other, and Xiang Qin relies on you. You may think Lai Fu is naughty sometimes, but you are very considerate. He is like a mother to you. If he understands, you praise him, and if he doesn't understand, you scold him. Don't forget that they call you mom and aunt. They won't think too much. It's you adults who think too much. Why don't you ask their opinions to see if you want a brother or sister?"
Pan Yumei also felt that what Su Li said made sense, didn't she? She was afraid that others would say that she was a stepmother and would be bad for the child, so she would rather let Xiaodong suffer than let Laifu and his three siblings suffer. Maybe she really thought too much.
"Oh! Oh, by the way, I forgot. Your elder brother wanted me to ask you if he can work in the brown sugar factory in the future. Isn't it a contracting system? He wants to do it."
Su Li immediately said seriously: "Sister-in-law, you can persuade big brother. The brown sugar factory is a hot potato now. Don't get involved. The brown sugar factory makes money, and the county leaders will not let it go. They may arrange someone to take over. Once someone else accepts it, we will have no say, and they will suppress these old people. So you tell big brother to resign when someone is sent from above. Uncle Waishan wants him to take over, so he should take it over. Uncle Waishan has trained him for so long. If he is worried about the problem of the villagers getting rich, I think big brother can contract a few hills here to plant fruit trees. You can ask him for his opinion."
"What? Planting fruit trees? He has never planted one before!"
"I know someone here who can help me find fruit seedlings, and my father can also help. If we lease the mountain, we can hire people from the village, and our lives will not be bad in the future."
After hearing what Su Li said, Pan Yumei had some ideas in mind. She knew very well that this brown sugar factory was making so much money and everyone in the village was keeping a close eye on it. It would definitely not be contracted out to a private person, and even if it was, it would not be to them.
After thinking about it this way, she decided to forget it. If there was any dispute again, it would be a thankless task, so it would be better to do what she could.
In the evening, Pan Yumei and Xie Zhenghe discussed things in whispers until midnight.
Xie Zhengchuan drank some wine and held Su Li tightly. She blushed. They had not been close to each other since the birth of the children. Now the three children were held by Xie's mother and Li Ruiying. Jing Wei and others were reading in the study. When Xie Zhengchuan entered the room just now, he stared at her straightly, and his purpose was obvious.
Su Li coughed dryly, "Um...what did big brother want to ask you for just now?"
"No, I just want to know your opinion on the contracting system."
"So what do you say?"
"I think it's good. Each family manages its own family, works hard to get rich, and eats as much as one can afford."
Su Li nodded, "I told my sister-in-law to let her and my brother take over the hills and plant fruit trees. I think if these hills are planted with fruit trees, we will make a lot of money when the fruits are harvested, even in the off-season. We can contact the canning factory for cooperation in the future."
"Thank you for your hard work. You have done enough for the family. I have nothing to repay you with. How about I take good care of you at night?"
Su Li blushed with shame, "What are you doing? I'm doing it right now."
"I'm also serious, wife. Look at me, so serious." As he said that, he put his hand on Su Li's waist.
Su Li, who was walking on her own in the back, became more and more unconscious. When she was so tired that she couldn't even lift her fingers, she was still thinking about asking Xie Zhengchuan to help her find bricks and tiles for building a factory.
Xie Zhengchuan obeyed her words, but even though he served her diligently, Su Li was still thinking about other things. This made him feel that he was not working hard enough, so Su Li slept until noon the next day.
When she saw the half-smiles on the two mothers' eyes, she really wanted to beat Xie Zhengchuan to death. She was too ashamed to face anyone.
The land that Li Waishan helped Su Li apply for is about to be approved. Nowadays, residential land is worthless. She asked for so much, and the people above handled it quickly. She just thought this person was stupid for rushing to give money.
Looking at the certificate in her hand, Su Li was very happy. At present, she had enough space for sewing machines, threads, and fabrics, so the first thing she did was to recruit students. However, she planned to start with her family first. After everyone in her family had been taught, she would make a batch of clothes and try to sell them in the county town.
