When Xiaoyu's car entered Jiangchun City, the old man sitting in the co-pilot was much more energetic.

She looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers, grass and trees, and felt very intimate, and the hometown she had been thinking about for a long time was finally close at hand, and the tense heart was also settled.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled calmly and calmly, and said, "Xiaoyu, over the years, your parents and I have followed Xiaowen Xiaowu to many countries to travel, and we have seen a lot of scenery, but in my opinion, our hometown is still the best." ”

"Yes, I feel the same way, because this is where our ancestors lived, and we are part of this land. So, Mom, you have to be strong, let's go straight to the hospital, okay? It's hard all the way, and I have to go to the hospital to get hanging bottles. Pills alone are not good enough. ”

The old lady had been in pain for a long time, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but at this moment, the greatest hope was to return to her own home. Even if it's just for a few days.

I endured the pain and said in a low voice, "No need, let's go home for a few days." Xiaoyu, don't tell your parents when I come back. Lest they become angry, I want to stay at home quietly for a few days. ”

Xiaoyu knew the old man's mind, and she knew her condition very well. Since she is already weak, she can only do what she wants.

From all these behaviors of my mother-in-law, I thought of Sister Kong Hua, who came to the villa at that time, and how similar her mother-in-law's thoughts were at this time. Knowing that his life was short, the pain in his body was unbearable enough, and he had to endure the torture of treatment and the sad eyes of his relatives.

Xiaoyu was preoccupied, and kept asking in her heart, "What should I do?" ”

If you do what the old man thinks, she feels sorry for her, and the doctor in the country once said that 'not doing chemotherapy will exacerbate the deterioration of the condition'. If you forcibly bring her to the hospital, you will be going against her will.

At this moment, she really wants to have someone who makes up her mind, and she also hopes that her mind can be clearer and she can make the wisest choice. Xiaoyu was trying to find the right words to persuade the old man to go to the hospital.

The old man had already seen it and said to Xiaoyu, "Child, I know what you think. During the years we have depended on each other, I have listened to you for everything. Haha, let me be the master myself this time, you just do what I want. ”

Xiaoyu heard her mother-in-law say this, so she had to drive the car to her home.

When the old lady stepped into her own house, she looked around the yard, looked up at the villa where she had lived for many years, and finally settled down.

Xiaoyu hurriedly turned on the air conditioner to drive away the cold in the house, called the property again, and immediately paid for the heating of her home. Because the room hasn't been inhabited for a long time, the whole house is like an ice cellar.

For dinner, Xiaoyu called Zhu Hotel to send it, and specially ordered the dishes that her mother-in-law likes to eat, although she didn't eat much, she could eat a few bites, and a bowl of egg custard.

After eating, the old man sat on the sofa and said to Xiaoyu with a smile, "Alas! We're back, and that's what I've been thinking about for a long time. Xiaoyu, I've dreamed of Xiao Wu's grandfather several times, thank you kid. I've got my wish for the rest of my life. Shall we stay at home for a few days? ”

"Mom, I'm ashamed that I patronized the business and didn't take good care of you. I don't even know you're so sick. Why didn't you get it out when you had a check-up last time? Xiaoyu asked very curiously.

"yes, I didn't feel anything at first, I just didn't have a good appetite, and I didn't care. The doctor only said that it was gastritis, and after taking medicine for a while, he felt better, and before he knew it, it was like this. Alas! There is an old saying that "Hades told you to die on the third watch, and he will not keep you until the fifth watch". It's all fate, don't be sad, let alone blame yourself, you've done well enough. The old lady looked at Xiaoyu and said.

After talking, Xiaoyu saw that the old man was a little tired, so she bathed her, changed into pajamas and went to bed.

Xiaoyu also slept in the same bed with the old man, maybe when he returned home, the old man's heart was settled and his spirit was much better. Lying in bed, I didn't feel sleepy.

looked at Xiao Yu and said, "I married Xiao Wu's grandfather when I was nineteen years old. After my father died, my mother took me and my brother to live a very difficult life, in order to marry my brother's daughter-in-law, I asked the old Zhang family for 1,000 yuan, haha, just like that, my brother and I both became families. ”

Xiaoyu didn't bother her, just listened quietly.

"At that time, 1,000 yuan was a lot. On the night of my wedding, my mother told me, 'I must live a good life with others, their family has money, and they will live a good life in the future'Alas! After getting married, I learned that half of the 1,000 yuan that Lao Zhang's family gave my mother was borrowed from the east and west. After getting married, not only did he not live a good life, but he also paid off his debts. I didn't expect that I have come all the way in this life and gone through so many things. It's still a blessing to be with you all these years. In this way, I am also very proud of this life. ”

Xiaoyu also said: "My thanks, Mom." Our mother's fate is not shallow, thank you for accompanying me through the most difficult years. I am really unfilial, patronizing business, not being with you and my children, and now I do have a lot of money, but I feel like a failure without you to share with me. If we didn't do such a big business, only guarding the hotel and the villa, our life would be happier. ”

"Girl, don't think like that, I know you have a high heart and will not admit defeat in everything. I can see how good you are to me and my children. Haha, around us, how many old ladies like me can compare? There are people with broken mouths, or there are many good people, and many old sisters envy me. I still have nothing to be satisfied with. ”

After living at home for a week, the old lady became even sicker and couldn't sleep in pain.

Xiaoyu had to take her to the hospital.

Because one person couldn't take care of it, Xiaoyu's brothers and parents came.

When Mr. and Mrs. Liu came to the hospital, they were shocked to see the patient lying on the bed. I haven't seen you for a few months, why did you get sick like this? After consulting the doctor, I learned about the seriousness of the condition.

Old Man Liu saw that his daughter had also lost weight, and angrily blamed, "You girl, why are you so ignorant?" It's been so long since you've been back and you don't tell us? ”

"Don't be angry with Xiaoyu, I won't let her tell you. I want to live quietly for a few days, and I don't want you to worry about me and get angry. I'm going to be upset. Xiaoyu's mother-in-law hurriedly said.

Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just silently fed rice porridge to the old man.

"Sister-in-law, I remember that there is another brother at home, right?"

"Yes, Xiao Wu's grandfather was seriously ill that year, and I went to borrow money, and my sister-in-law pushed me out of the door. There has been no contact since. It seems like my brother is gone. There is also a niece, I don't know where I got married? Could you please inquire about it? ”

"Okay, don't worry, I'll let the boss look for it as soon as possible."

Soon half a month passed, and the old lady had run out of oil, and she was sometimes confused, sometimes sober.

Xiaoyu knew that the old man was looking forward to the arrival of his niece. It is also the only bloodline of his mother's family. Xiaoyu also made up her mind, if the eldest sister could come before the old lady closed her eyes, she would definitely give her a sum of money, at least to ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

The eldest brother found someone and called and got in touch, but she refused because she hadn't been in touch for a long time.

In order to fulfill the old man's last wish, Xiaoyu asked the eldest brother to go to the south to explain in person.

The result was a real disappointment. The eldest brother said, "She resolutely refused to come, saying that she had forgotten everything before." ”

When the old man saw Xiaoyu's eldest brother come back alone, he understood everything and closed his eyes with sad tears.

Xiaoyu hugged her mother-in-law's body and cried. I am sad that my mother-in-law left with regret, and I am sad that I have lost a good mother who really loves and cares about me. Her mind went blank, as if the whole world had lost its old noise.

The eldest brother also shed tears and picked her up directly and left the ward. The nursing staff covered the old man with a white cloth sheet and pushed the morgue.

Xiaoyu's parents, eldest brother, and sister-in-law surrounded Xiaoyu, and when they saw her crying to death, they all cried happily.

After days of hard work, coupled with the sadness at this time, Xiaoyu also fell ill. The doctor had no choice but to give her a tranquilizer and a hanging bottle. Xiaoyu's mother and sister-in-law and sister-in-law accompanied her.

The three fathers and sons of the Liu family began the funeral of the old man.

After Xiaoyu woke up the next day, she also quieted down. The old man has gone, and he still has children to take care of, and what he needs to do now is to take care of his mother-in-law's funeral.

Through the window, I saw the heavy snow outside, and my heart was uncomfortable.

Her mood right now is like this weather, there is a sense of the end of the world. Thinking of the first half of my life, I continued to work hard and my life was getting better and better, but I still couldn't keep my relatives, just like the saying 'manpower is sometimes poor'. ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiaoyu returned home with a hard time. A mourning hall has been laid out for the elderly. Xiaoyu put on filial piety clothes and knelt in front of the old man's portrait, and kowtowed three times reverently. Tears rained down until she burst into tears.

At ten o'clock on the third day, the rule of the country came, and David, Xiaoming, and they also came over to help Xiaoyu bury the old man.

Xiaoyu dressed the old man in linen and filial piety, made a very good dojo, and after cremation, buried the old man next to his wife's grave.

In the white cemetery, the north wind howls and the trees are bare, making people feel solemn and desolate. Every time the departed Heroic Soul is still gone, the living are extremely sad. So that everyone's heart is covered with a heavy haze.

David: They went back, the end of the year is approaching, and everyone is very busy.

Xiaoyu returned to the hospital, and Zhiguo took care of her here for two days, and went back because she was too busy with work.

Five days later, Xiaoyu returned to the villa after being discharged from the hospital and rested for two days. Her parents cooked food for her every day, and her body finally got better. Tingting is busy taking care of the things of the villa every day, and Xiaoyu is a lot more leisurely.

This year's snow has been falling one after another, and it's like God is not in a good mood. On this day, it snowed heavily, and the mountains were white and vast. Snowflakes fall on the surface of the lake as if they have been swallowed up.

Xiaowen Xiaowu also often called, but Xiaoyu did not hide them. Two children were crying on the other end of the phone. Light rain comforted them.

Whenever it is quiet in the dead of night, Xiaoyu often thinks of the scene after the death of Xiao Wu's father and grandfather. Call the earth, and the earth is not spiritual. What followed was the unbearable gossip, and the mother-in-law knew it. However, she did not believe the gossip, and trusted herself as always. Rely on each other to get through those difficult years.

Whenever I think of the past, Xiaoyu's tears can't stop flowing. I hate that I didn't find out the old man's condition in time, if I were more careful, early detection, early treatment, I wouldn't let the old man leave so soon.

The first seven of the mother-in-law arrived, and that afternoon, Xiaoyu came to the cemetery with the items to go to the grave. In the cemetery, there are many graves, and the graves are covered with a thick layer of snow, like a veil for the deceased.

The graves are covered with heavy snow, and the stone monuments in front of the tombs stand to mark that the deceased was once a member of the world. A gust of wind blows, making people feel lonely and vicissitudes.

On the graves of father-in-law and Xiao Wu's father, there were some dry weeds swaying, and there were some snowflakes on the grass, just like a specially planted white flag, and Xiao Yu could still see the well-defined grave.

She walked up and pulled out all the weeds. He also found some stones, piled them around the grave, and had a lot of dirt on his hands, so he grabbed a handful of snow and cleaned his hands.

She put the side dishes she had brought, lit three sticks of incense, and poured them wine and tea. Watch the incense burn. She spoke to the grave. I wanted to tell the old man what was in my heart, but no matter how I said it, no matter how the tears flowed, I could no longer hear the old man's gentle words and warm hands, wiping away her tears.

The snowflakes are dashing, falling in the wind, like a fairy in a white mourning dress, together with Xiaoyu, in this barren cemetery, to pay tribute to the heroic spirit of the deceased. The cold wind hit Xiaoyu's face, and the sad tears slipped silently.

Flocks of sparrows flew over, looked east and west, chirped, and finally flew away. It's like telling Xiaoyu, it's too cold, take care of your body, you still have family to protect. The deceased has already left, and no one can escape the reincarnation of heaven and earth.

Xiaoyu burned the paper money, knelt down and kowtowed three times. Then he stood silently for a long time before turning back and leaving. Leaving a lonely and deep footprint behind him.

In order to cheer up, she returned to Chunjiang City.

Came to the vegetable factory.

It's already busy. All kinds of pickles have been packed and placed in the warehouse one by one. Pork and chicken are also packed and placed in cold storage. Some units in Chengli Province last year have also contacted David.

"Are the gift boxes ready?" Xiaoyu asked David.

"Yes, prepare more than a million cartons. There is still half a month left for the Spring Festival, and the vegetable side has already told the vegetable farmers. If you start delivering food at the twenty-fourth, the price will be higher. David said.

Looking at Xiaoyu's initial recovery from a serious illness, I was very pity. thought to herself, Xiaoyu is really an ill-fated woman, but she is also a woman who can control her own destiny. Human life and death are originally the laws of nature, and no one can escape the fate of the cycle of life and death. However, whoever this kind of thing falls on, it is also heart-rending. Manpower is sometimes poor, and even if there is too much money, it can only be helpless.

Xiaoyu put in the work in order not to immerse herself in grief.

She also contacted two steel groups, as well as those former units in Jiangchun City. More than 300,000 boxes of vegetable gifts were ordered.

David said with a smile, "I heard that Xia Hui Refrigeration Factory is also making gift boxes, and the price is lower than ours." ”

"It's okay, each to his own. I don't think they are stupid, but the price is low, and they must have done something else, such as pork water injection. When you make a delivery, be sure to highlight the issue of pork. ”

"Haha, you're so smart, I've heard that the pigs they collect are filled with a lot of water when they are slaughtered." David grinned and said with a smile.

"We can't do that. If you have bought our vegetable gift boxes before, after sending them to the workers, you can distinguish the good ones as soon as you eat them. We can't smash our own brand. ”

"Okay."

"I'll go to my second brother and ask him to contact Chunjiang Cotton Mill for us, you wait for my call. Don't forget to bring two boxes of vegetables. Xiaoyu said.

"Okay. I'll prepare it now, their benefits are not good, just 300 yuan a box, mainly meat and mushrooms. ”

"Okay, in fact, I didn't have much hope, most of their employees are local, and many families are not short of vegetables."

Xiaoyu came to the second brother's office. When the second brother saw him, he smiled and said, "Xiaoyu is coming." Are you feeling better? ”

Xiaoyu sat down and said, "Okay, it's almost the New Year, and there are a lot of things to do."

The second brother brought her a cup of tea, put it on the noodles, and after sitting down, he said, "A few days ago, I went to the province for a meeting, and Governor Hu talked to me. He asked me if I could have better development if I stayed in Chunjiang City for another two years? What can I say? We have to say that we are an agricultural city and can only vigorously develop land resources. He also affirmed the achievements of our city. ”

Xiaoyu knows this is not good news.

The mood was a little low, and he said, "My brain is very numb, and my mother-in-law's affairs make my heart a little low." It seems that your political achievements are still not enough. Since Governor Hu said so, he can only continue to do it. In fact, this is also very good, and if you work down there for a few more years, it can be considered gold-plated. Only when political achievements are weighty enough can we have a better future. Isn't there cotton growing in Weiping County? There is also a cotton mill, dyeing and weaving, and clothing one-stop, go and support it. If this is also done, he will have nothing to say. ”

"Well, yes, during this time, I went to Weiping County to do an investigation, that county is close to the Yellow River, but there is no shortage of water, but the land is compacted, and it is accompanied by sediment. Therefore, compared with the other two counties, it is backward, and after these years of soil improvement, cotton is planted, and the results are really good. If a large area is planted, it is afraid of sales problems, and the textile mill will not use too much. ”

"Isn't it possible to grow food in the improved soil? I know the land is flat. ”

"Yes, but the yield is low. Those places were caused by the yellow flooding, alas! It's a shame to have lost those lands. ”

Xiaoyu picked up the cup and drank the tea, also thinking of a way.

After a while, he said, "Since it's okay to grow cotton, then plant it." When the time comes, contact those cotton mills in China. Secondly, it is to expand the production of cotton mills in our city. It just so happens that I want to sell them some vegetable gift boxes, you ask the secretary to contact them, we meet and talk, see if they have this idea? ”

The second brother asked without thinking, "If they have an idea, do you want to invest?" ”

After he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and this would pull his sister into the water again.

He smiled embarrassedly and explained, "I heard that the efficiency of cotton mills is not very good. Especially this year, there are frequent holidays. So, I don't have much hope for them. ”

Xiaoyu didn't think too much about it when she heard the second brother ask about investment just now. Rather, I was thinking, if I really invested, I started in the clothing business, and finally returned to spinning, weaving, and making clothing?

Hearing the second brother's explanation later, I thought that vegetables and grains are indeed very good, and if you grow cotton, you have to link it to the cotton mill. I feel very funny, I have a vegetable processing factory by myself to do a greenhouse. If you plant cotton again, maybe you really need to invest in it and have a cotton mill again. She thought of Xiaoming's garment factory, and she was really moved.

When he looked up and saw that the second brother was staring at him, he smiled and said, "It's not impossible to invest, you have to see what their specific situation is?" ”

The second brother came to his senses and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go meet them tonight." If you really want to invest, I will use the recovered money and make interest-free loans in your name to support cotton farmers, what do you think? ”

Xiaoyu listened to it and gave him a thumbs up in his heart, thinking to himself that the second brother was very thoughtful this time. Smiled and said, "Yes, yes." Listen to what they have to say at night? ”

At five o'clock in the evening, the director of the cotton mill and the director of the factory, as well as the chief of the finance department, Yang came. The second brother's secretary introduced them. Greeted each other.

When Xiaoyu shook hands with the director of the factory, he smiled and said, "Meet again." ”

The second brother and David were cold for a moment after hearing this. Xiaoyu didn't explain any more.

The director of the factory said with a smile: "Boss Liu, we have known each other for a long time, and we used to come to our factory to buy cloth. ”

The second brother and David also understood.

Xiaoyu and David sat down, and the second brother asked the director of the factory, "How are you doing now, what kind of cloth are you doing now, and are they selling well?" Let's talk about it. ”

After hearing this, the director of the factory deliberately glanced at Xiaoyu more, and thought, what does this mean? It turns out that this woman is the mayor's sister and the investor of the vegetable greenhouse?

He thought about it for a while and said, "Every year we harvest cotton, spin yarn, and weave it into cloth and make clothing." Most of the fabrics we weave are cotton, plaid and striped fabrics, which can also be printed into floral fabrics, fabrics for summer quilts, curtain fabrics, and thermal underwear-like fabrics. Now I want to go into the machine to weave denim. It's a lack of funds. ”

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Director Si, I came to buy cloth before. When I was loading, I saw a large amount of cloth in the warehouse, and I realized that there was a problem with your sales at that time, and the warehouse was backlogged to that extent, and you were still blindly producing. If it goes on like this, there will definitely be problems. ”

When the three of them heard Xiaoyu's words, they all felt uncomfortable.

Deputy Director Yang thought to himself, which green onion are you? Do you need to dictate?

The second brother asked, "Are the raw materials bought from Weiping County?" If you want to weave denim, you also need a lot of cotton, right? ”

"Yes, if you can put on a machine for weaving denim, you have to build a factory, and cotton will be used a lot, but now you can't do anything because of the lack of funds." The director of the division said with an unnatural expression.

Xiaoyu hurriedly asked, "How much money do you need to be able to use it?" How big do you want to be? ”

The director of the division and the deputy director Yang and the section chief Yang communicated for a while, and the director of the division said, "We once made a plan. of seven or eight billion. Sales channels we have. Now denim is urgently needed in the south, and we also use it to make our own clothes. ”

When the meal came, everyone began to push the cups and change the lamps. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xiaoyu said, "For example, if you have the funds, you will put on denim, and you will be able to return to your capital in a few years?" ”

After hearing this, the director of the factory beat a drum in his heart, thinking, is it possible that someone wants to invest? Quickly put on a smiling face and said, "If you have the funds, it will take a month to build a factory for half a year and the machine to come in for commissioning, just in time for the cotton harvest season." Four years into production is about the same. ”

The second brother has been listening to it for four years, which is really long enough. tentatively said, "You know the vegetable base of our city. They managed all the vegetable farmers, and the vegetables were purchased and resold in a unified manner, and now they are doing very successfully. Director Han and Director Liu are both there. I see that you are also like them, after the factory is ready, you will use Weiping County as your raw material base. In this way, production and marketing can be integrated. ”

"Yes, we're harvesting the cotton there. If the plant is running, the raw materials are important. While speaking, the director of the factory also glanced at Xiaoyu from time to time.

"Yes, this is your hometown, and supporting them is also defending yourself, not to mention that the workers are all locals. I'm afraid that if there is too much cotton, you won't be able to digest it. The second brother heard that they didn't have any confidence at all, so he asked again.

"Yes. Now, our products are monotonous. If you don't have denim, it's different, the yield is high, the sales are fast, and the cotton you need will be correspondingly more. The director of the division said.

Xiaoyu kept thinking about his words, thinking to herself, from spinning to weaving, in making clothes, doing this, it is really challenging, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the factory next year to have a look, if you have development potential, I'll invest." I will build the factory, it will not take half a year or four months at most, how many people do you have in the factory now? ”

"More than 2,500, and a batch will be recruited in the future." After hearing this, the director of the division was pleasantly surprised before he came back to his senses, and Section Chief Yang hurriedly said.

"Today, I came over with Director Han, there is something to do, you will always give benefits to employees during the Spring Festival, our factory, there are vegetables and various pickled vegetable gift boxes, see if it suits you, right?" Xiaoyu said. David opened one of the two boxes of vegetables he brought in, and said, "We send such gift boxes to many units every year to send New Year's goods, and if you need them, we will send them to you, and we will bring you 360 yuan per box." ”

"Okay, let's order 2,500 boxes, and give them to us on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month. Director Liu. Thank you, if we have the money, we will definitely do well. Mayor Liu, we still need a piece of land to build a factory, I hope it can be cheaper? "Director Si is a shrewd man who is very good at seizing the opportunity.

"Okay, I'll give you the land when the negotiation is done. Consult with each other first. If an agreement is reached, the city will strongly support it. The cotton base has been sent by the city to catch it. ”

"Okay, this money is not a decimal number, you have a mortgage, this is a guarantee. I'll see if it's what I said I told you. If it's just a high-pitched song, don't talk about it. As for the specific plan, we will discuss it after the Spring Festival. Xiaoyu said to them.

Chief Yang of Finance calculated in his heart, and then said with a smile, "Okay, no problem." ”

Xiaoyu said to the second brother again: "You find relevant personnel from the city to work with them to make an assessment of the factory." Don't grind, you have to start tomorrow. I'll have to figure it out. Either you don't do it, or you have to do it well, and none of us can afford to hurt it. ”

The second brother looked at the three people in the textile factory, smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow you will wait in the factory, and I will send someone over to do an audit and evaluation." Let's take a look at your specific situation. Then after the Spring Festival, we will discuss again. ”

Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "You have to understand, so much money is not a small number, the first thing that needs to be mortgaged, and the second is whether your factory can be able to do it." The time frame for this event is very tight, because once it is determined, a large area of cotton planting will begin at the beginning of spring. So the textile mill has to be settled first. ”

The second brother glanced at Xiaoyu and understood what she meant, and said to the director of the factory, "Yes, it must be determined before planting cotton." If it is beyond the season of planting cotton, you just build the factory, and if you don't have enough raw materials, you have to go to other places to purchase. On the contrary, if your factory is not doing well, who will sell the cotton to? ”

Everyone understands that if it can't be confirmed in March next year, this matter will be in ruins.

Xiaoyu looked at the director of the division and said to the second brother, "There is still some time before the Spring Festival, send someone to do the audit and evaluation as soon as possible, the director of the division must cooperate well with the city, and secondly, the financial situation." Only when I figured it out did I dare to invest. ”

The director of the factory was stunned at first, and he was very flustered. He quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "Okay, we'll cooperate." ”

Xiaoyu took in everything, knowing that they might have other troubles. But it didn't break the word. If you want to do it, you have to see it. Because up to now, she hasn't thought of any other good way to help her second brother. The clothes and cloth are still very right for her.

The air conditioner in the room was warm, exuding the aroma of wine and food, but the atmosphere was very tense, especially the three people in the textile factory, who couldn't let go.

David also listened quietly.

The second brother told the director of the division some things about planting cotton, but the director of the division looked a little absent-minded.

When the table is dismissed. David and his secretary carried the vegetables to the car and said, "You can take this back first and taste it." ”

"Brother, what do you think of this factory director?" Watching them leave, Xiaoyu asked on the way back.

"The heart is very high, but the confidence is insufficient. In recent years, their benefits have been good, I went to the factory to see, the scale is not large, and after expansion, the development potential is very large. If it happens this time, it will be a lot of investment, right? ”

"It's okay, I'm here to help you, the money in the bank is also to earn some interest, it's better to take it out and do something practical to make sense." Xiaoyu said.

"Just wait and see how they assess." The second brother said

"I'll send you back, and then I'll discuss it with Xiaoming and them. I had to get my people to do the appraisal together, and then seal all the accounts in case they did anything about it. ”

"Okay, let him give me some meetings after work tomorrow, and I will arrange for him to go to the assessment together."

Xiaoyu is back in the rental room, and David has returned.

"Xiaoyu, listen to David, we got another project?" Xiang Dong asked excitedly.

"Yes, it's to build a factory, it's still uncertain. If it is settled, we must take it over, and we must build the factory as soon as possible. ”

"No problem, it won't affect the current construction site, don't worry. We're going to make money, and it's not very technical. It will not affect our current construction site. Xiao Ming said happily.

Xiaoyu glanced at everyone, and saw that they were sitting and listening, and knew that they were waiting for themselves to say the following.

He cleared his throat and said, "A few days ago, the second brother went to the province for a meeting. Governor Hu talked to him and asked him if he could make some achievements if he could stay here for another two years. You all know what this means. Therefore, it is not enough to do vegetables and breeding, I want to develop a cotton base, that is, to cooperate with cotton mills. ”

Xiaoming frowned and asked, "Governor Hu will also make excuses." Now Chunjiang vegetables are not only in the whole province, but also in our neighboring provinces, and there are people who come to harvest vegetables. This kind of political achievement is not enough, it is a bit difficult to be strong? ”

David smiled and said, "I don't think so, first of all, the bigwigs in the province affirmed the second brother's political achievements." They may be thinking that since the second brother has the ability to make such achievements, they hope to stay for another year or two and make even greater achievements. If the second brother leaves, another mayor can only maintain the status quo. ”

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Well, David has a point. They just want the second brother to follow the idea of developing vegetable greenhouses and then open up new ideas. At that time, the second brother said that it was okay, but it could only be adapted to local conditions. I've been thinking that there used to be vegetables here, so we built a vegetable greenhouse with this idea, and the effect was still good. Secondly, in addition to growing grain, the local people are also growing cotton, so I can only think of cotton mills. ”

Xiaoming smiled and asked, "Haha, you want to mobilize the people to grow cotton again, right?" ”

Xiaoyu grinned and said, "Those big guys are all understanding people, they know the vegetable greenhouse, and we are helping the second brother." To put it bluntly, they also want us to continue to help. You also know my temper, unless you don't dare, if you dare, you have to do a good job. So, now it's also a challenge for me. ”

Xiang Dong smiled and said, "Well, that's really the case. Now to this point, it's like having to send an arrow on the bow. It seems that Xiaoyu still has to find a way to continue working with her second brother. ”

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "So, I thought about growing cotton and textile factories. Through my clothing wholesale store in Jiangchun City, I learned that denim clothing is the most popular now. If the textile mill can weave cloth and then do garment processing, cotton farmers can grow cotton in large quantities. In this way, a supply and demand chain can be formed. It not only improved the industrial energy of Chunjiang City, but also drove a group of cotton farmers to make a fortune. Haha, if this is done well, see what excuses they come up with? ”

Xiaoming and the others all looked at each other when they heard Xiaoyu's grand blueprint, and finally spoke to the east first, "Miss, you really dare to think, well, it sounds really good." But it's not that easy to do. ”

Xiaoming also said in disbelief, "If you want to talk about clothing, I admit that it makes a lot of money when it is done, but it is not a simple matter to grow cotton and weave cloth." Xiaoyu, you have to think clearly, huh? ”

In the face of everyone's doubts, it aroused Xiaoyu's fighting spirit, she thought to herself that now that she has reached this level, can she still stop fighting?

I made up my mind and said with a smile, "I thought about it, I'm going to take out a billion to do this." If the textile factory can cooperate, of course, it is good, if not, I will build another factory and buy the most advanced machine to weave denim. Then do garment processing. The construction site is about to stop, Xiaoming, Xiangdong, the two of you will take out one person, and tomorrow I will go to the textile factory with the people sent by the city to do an assessment, I want to grasp the first-hand information, and see if the textile factory has the strength to cooperate with me? Leave one person behind, settle accounts on the construction site, pay the wages of the workers, and prepare for the construction site holiday. ”

Xiang Dong listened and looked at Xiang Xiaoming, and said with a smile, "Xiaoming, go ahead, I will take something I learned, and when I graduate, I will return it to the teacher." ”

Xiaoming knew that the eldest lady's temper had come up, and the eight horses couldn't pull it back, so he had to ask with a smile, "Do you do a good assessment, do you want to see how much property they have?" ”

"Yes. First, do they have the ability to work with me? Second, look at how much money they have? Xiaoyu said without hesitation.

Xiaoming looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Well, I have a feeling that Xiaoyu has made up her mind. ”

Xiaoyu was not hypocritical, and said with a smile, "Yes, I thought about it, if the textile factory is best if they do it themselves, I will only invest in them." However, mine found someone trustworthy to manage the finances. If they can't, I'll have to do it myself. It's also very profitable to do a good job, and of course, no one can guarantee that they won't lose money. At least, I have this realization. How to do it depends on the results of the assessment. ”

"Okay, I'll follow tomorrow to evaluate." Xiaoming said. I thought to myself, you just can't keep money, and the more money you have, the bolder your ideas will be. Invest so much money in it, either it will be a blood loss, or it will be a blood gain. Well, so far, she hasn't lost any money, and she won't lose it in the future. It's really like his father said, "It's really good to toss".

David thought of the real estate they sold, Xiaoyu and Xiaoming made a lot of money, and they had as much courage as they had strength, and they took out a billion yuan and looked light, and said with a smile, "You guys are really rich." Haha, I admire Xiaoyu's courage. ”

Xiang Dong also smiled and said, "Isn't it good for you to be there, the factory is so profitable, and it also harvests a lot every year." After speaking, he glanced at Xiaoyu and thought to himself, she is the largest shareholder, as well as those industries in Jiangchun City. She said that she took out a billion without even blinking an eye.

Xiaoyu saw everyone's thoughts, and didn't care, and said, "It seems that we can't leave Chunjiang City yet, and after the New Year, we will renovate the house and prepare to move to a new house." Besides, our construction site will not be completed next year, so let's live in peace of mind. After saying that, he stood up and said, "I'm really tired." Alas, old age. Can't you accept it? ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, in fact, no one said anything, but they all knew in their hearts that Xiaoyu was still tired because of the death of the old man

Nothing was said all night. Xiaoming had breakfast and went to the city to find his second brother, who was going to participate in the evaluation of the textile factory.

In the afternoon, Xiaoyu and David came to the troops. They saw Uncle Zhang, "The light rain is coming. Wow, I've lost weight. What's wrong, got sick? ”

"Nope." Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Oh, you have to pay attention to your body, don't try too hard." He comforted with concern.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, I bought you a few bottles of wine, it's almost the New Year. I couldn't come to see you because of something at home. Xiaoyu said.

"Okay, I really want to drink Xiaoyu's wine. Are you going back to the capital? He asked kindly.

"Yes, the last time I went back, Mother Kong caught a cold. I stayed there for one day. Xiaoyu replied.

"Okay, go back often, they're all old. Your parents miss you very much, and when you go home and talk to them, the old man wants to be with his children. ”

"Yes. I know, uncle, don't worry. I will often go back for a few days in the future. Uncle Zhang, how many days should we send here on the 29th of the Spring Festival? ”

"Six days."

"Okay, we'll all go to work on the sixth day of junior high school. Are you always back in Beijing? Xiaoyu asked.

"Can't go back."

Xiaoyu knew that soldiers needed to stick to their posts, so she didn't care, and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, are you still satisfied with the vegetables we sent?" If there is any problem, you can raise it and I will improve. ”

"Very good, very reasonable price and good food. Your pickles are also good, so give them more. I have people from all over the world, and their tastes are different. There is also more meat, but Tingting didn't come with it? ”

"I let her manage the hotel and the villa in Jiangchun City, she likes it very much, and she also raises a few sheep in the villa."

"Yes, that kid is very down-to-earth, guide well, and will be your good helper." Commander Zhang looked at her emaciated face and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Okay. Then we'll go back. Goodbye uncle. Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Xiaoyu and David walked out of the army compound and got into the car.

Xiaoyu said to David, "When you wait for the twenty-eighth to deliver the food, you must ask the administrator." Know the approximate number of dishes. Twenty-nine o'clock was delivered, and more than less. ”

"Okay, potatoes, garlic sprouts, garlic. We have a lot of prepared in the cold storage, and the vegetables need to be purchased at that time. ”

"It's okay, if it doesn't work, I'll replace it with something else. I went to the bank the other day to handle business, and they also asked for 2,000 boxes. When you get back, count the numbers. Be aware of it."

"Okay, I'll send the last batch of dishes for export the day after tomorrow, and then I'll do my best to prepare for this. Xiaoyu, since following you, I have saved those annoying entertainments, not only have I made money, but I am also in a good mood, it seems that I have made the right move to join you. Thank you. David said sincerely.

"I think the most fortunate thing is that with your cooperation, I will have confidence in anything."

Back in the factory. Workers are packing pickles, hundreds of large vats of pickles.

After they calculated the bonuses and benefits to the workers, they calculated the accounts for the whole year in detail, and David said with a smile, "I have discussed with Lin Hua's sister-in-law, and we Tingting has a big red envelope of one million." ”

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Isn't it too much, two or three hundred thousand is enough." ”

David smiled and said, "Haha, so I and your sister-in-law Lin Hua still feel that it is too little, so it's decided." ”

Xiaoyu didn't say anything more, thinking to herself, this is really not much, one million, there is 500,000 yuan that he paid. It is also appropriate to give it to its own daughter.

Xiaoyu came home and started cooking, and received a call from the child in Mi Guo, "Mom, are you okay?" ”

"Okay, have you bought a ticket?"

"Yes, Mom, David and Xu Honghai have to follow, is that okay?"

"Okay, tell your dad and let him pick you up. When you come back, you will go home. Go and see my grandfather and grandmother, let's go back to the villa in Jiangchun City, Sister Tingting is also there, call me when the time comes. Let's go to your grandmother's grave together. ”

"Okay, goodbye."

After making the call, Xiaoyu began to cook, prepared all the dishes to be made, and steamed a pot of rice.

After receiving Xiaoming's call, Xiaoyu began to cook, and a few cold dishes were placed on the table. When they came, they started cooking hot dishes, and the ten dishes were ready quickly, and David and his sister-in-law also returned.

"Hey, it's good to have a home, and when you get home, you will have a hot meal to eat." Xiaoming said with a smile.

"Yes, Xiaoyu's dishes are delicious." David smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, do you specialize in learning?" ”

When I was in the United States, I worked in the kitchen of my eldest sister's hotel for a few months. I learned several dishes, and the kids played the piano in the hotel. We all cook, and the kids can cook a few of them. Anyway, you like it. It means that I have learned. Later, I will show you a small hand when I have time. I love cooking.

"Haha, it's really humiliating to let you, a big boss, cook for a long time. Now if we want to set up a company, you will be our big boss. Xiaoming said with a smile.

"No, we'd better keep a low profile. It is better to make a fortune in a muffled voice. Xiaoming, you must have watched them evaluate carefully, go home early after Xiangdong is busy, and have a good year, not too late. ”

"Okay, then you're going to be busier, make gift boxes." Xiaoming said.

Xiaoyu said, "David will arrange it, and he is looking for more temporary workers to help." You just have to point delivery. Tomorrow I will go back to the villa, and after you bring the goods from Jiangchun City, I will deliver them. You will deliver to some units in the provincial capital. ”

"When are you going back to the capital?" David asked.

"I'll go back on the twenty-nine." Xiaoyu said.

"Okay, I'm not going back. Pigs, chickens, and mushrooms here are inseparable from people. The whole family is here. I will take care of your construction site, and I will be responsible for delivering vegetables to the troops after the Spring Festival. Xiaoyu, you can stay at home for a while longer. David said.

"Okay."

The next day, Xiaoyu returned to the villa.

"Mom, my sheep are gone. Let's take this big one back, right? Tingting said.

"Okay, let's go back to Chunjiang City on the twenty-eighth and kill again at the twenty-seventh. The lambs were sent to Xiaomei's grandmother's house for them to raise. ”

"Mom, I've adjusted the amount of bonuses and benefits you have every year, and I've found out. The villa was also vacated, so they were given a holiday. Dad said Xiaowen, Xiao Wu is back, and two classmates came. I'll be at the lodge tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I know. I have to go to their grandmother's grave with Xiao Wu and Xiao Wen, and I have to finish the vegetable gift box. After saying that, Xiaoyu went to her parents' room.

"Dad, are you okay?" Xiaoyu asked when she saw her father lying on the bed.

"It's fine, it was a little cold and went to bed. Xiao Wu and Wenwen are coming back, are you going to go to the grave? Mom asked.

"Dad, there is no one in the villa for the Spring Festival, you can go home for the New Year. After the Spring Festival, you came back to take care of the villa, and Tingting and I came back after fifteen. I'll call again if there's any change. ”

"Good, stay longer. We'll take care of it. The old man said.

Xiaoyu said. "Dad, I think you're in a bad mood?"

"Your uncle is not in good health. In the past few days, I called to say that I had been admitted to the hospital once for high blood pressure, and it was difficult to walk. Mom said upset.

It seems that there is still a knot in his heart, and Liu Quan didn't let him worry. High blood pressure is the most afraid of getting angry. Xiaoyu said.

"I want to let your uncle and aunt come to live in the villa after the New Year, so that you don't have to turn on the fire to cook?" Dad glanced at Xiaoyu and said timidly.

"Okay, you can do it. I give them 50,000 yuan a year for living expenses, so I can save money. Eat at the lodge, and you have a companion. Xiaoyu saw that her parents had added a lot of gray hair, and her age was indeed unforgiving.

Nephew Liu Ming and niece Liu Hua pushed the door in, Liu Hua smiled and asked, "Hello aunt, we heard about Xiao Wu, Xiao Wen is coming back." It's been a long time since I've seen them, and I miss them so much, have you arrived? ”

"I'll be back tomorrow. This is Sister Tingting. ”

"Hello sister." Both the niece and nephew greeted Tingting. They had seen it a long time ago, it was at Xiaoyu's wedding, but they hadn't spoken.
