Chapter 17: Surprise

In Yang Xun's expectant gaze, Song Yunping did not directly agree.

Although the above has now relaxed the control, the policy has not yet been perfected, especially at the local level, not only the common people have a wait-and-see attitude towards the future, but even many people in power do not dare to say that they have completely understood the policies from above.

There's an old saying that it's better to be still than to be still.

"Yang Xun, have you thought about it, whether it is a slaughterhouse or a restaurant in the county or town, it is a state-owned unit, why do people sell all the chicken and duck feathers to us?"

Yang Xun said: "Sister Xiaoping, as long as I give enough money, are you still afraid that they won't sell it?" โ€

Yang Xun has been selling steamed buns for several years, and after years of dealing with people, and he also likes to ponder on weekdays, he inevitably has some experience in doing business.

"It's not as simple as you think!" Song Yunping shook her head and said.

Yang Xun looked at Song Yunping's face, frowned and asked suspiciously, "What is Sister Xiaoping worried about?" โ€

Song Yunping didn't answer, but looked at Wang Chong next to him, Wang Chong took the teapot and refilled a cup for Yang Xun, and said: "Yang Xun, although the limelight is not as tight as before, but the policy has not been completely liberalized in the end. โ€

"Brother-in-law, didn't you say that there has been reform and opening up?" Yang Xun asked Wang Chongdao.

Wang Zhong explained: "It is the reform and opening up, but now it is only in Guangdong Province to carry out the pilot, and it has not been spread across the country, what was the situation in the past few years, you know better than anyone else, the leaders of the county have concerns, can not let go of their hands and feet, is inevitable." โ€

Yang Xun asked, "Then what should we do now?" โ€

Wang Chongdao: "Have you heard of the allusion to the Battle of Chibi?" โ€

Yang Xun nodded and said, "I've heard of it!" โ€

Wang Chongdao: "Even the fierce generals are like clouds, and the strategists are like rain, and the Wushu coalition army has to borrow the help of the east wind to burn the company camp and defeat the Cao army, if there is no east wind, do you think the Wushu coalition army can defeat Cao Cao, who has an army of millions?" โ€

Although Yang Xun didn't know why Wang Chong asked this, he still shook his head and said: "Of course you can't win, Cao Cao has a million male soldiers under his command, and the combined forces of the two countries of Eastern Wu and Western Shu can't compare to Cao Cao, how can you fight." โ€

Wang Zhong said: "What we lack now is such an east wind. โ€

"Dongfeng!" Yang Xun muttered and repeated.

Song Yunping said: "I have discussed it with your brother-in-law a long time ago, and we both feel that now is not the time for us to show our talents." โ€

Yang Xun's eyes wandered back and forth between the two, and he couldn't help but ask, "When is the time?" โ€

Wang Zhong said: "At least now is not the time. โ€

Yang Xun's eyes flashed a little unwilling, but Wang Zhong and Song Yunping didn't agree, he couldn't afford the stall alone, even if he really collected all those chicken feathers and duck feathers, he wouldn't process them.

Yang Xun left stupidly, but he was not very willing to leave.

Although business is not easy to do now, it does not mean that Wang Chong and Song Yunping have nothing to do.

As soon as Wang Chong got the land, seeing that spring was about to begin, and the weather was gradually warming, Wang Chong and his father-in-law Song Jishan planned to plant medicinal herbs in the land that Wang Chong had assigned.

For example, Panax notoginseng and barbed vine are medicinal herbs that are simple to plant, not difficult to take care of, and extremely convenient to pick.

Wang Chong and Song Jishan are not grinding and chirping, the two of them just do what they say, first discussed with the county medicinal material station, and after buying the medicinal material seeds, the family of four began to clean up the acres of dry land that Wang Chong had assigned.

Ploughing and weeding, digging ditches and ridges, because there are no cattle, everything can only be done by manpower, but fortunately, Wang Zhong is very human, whether it is pulling a plow or swinging a hoe, he is a good hand.

Then the seeds were planted, and with the concerted efforts of a family of four, the eight acres of mountainous land were planted with medicinal herbs in less than a month.

Once when Song Yunping went to the county to send a letter to his younger brother, he saw that there were long-haired rabbits sold on the street, and after listening to the stall owner talk about the benefits of breeding long-haired rabbits, Song Yunping also made a special trip to inquire in person, and after determining the prospect of breeding long-haired rabbits, Song Yunping made a total of two rabbits.

The breeding cycle of long-haired rabbits is not long, and soon the first rabbit hair was harvested by Song Yunping and sent to the processing plant in the county, earning a lot of money.

So one day in the summer, Song Yunping heard Yang Xun's shouting from a distance, and when he trotted all the way to find the sound, after a while, he led Yang Xun to his home.

"Sister, why are you pulling me over in such a hurry?" Along the way, Yang Xun asked Song Yunping several times, but Song Yunping sold the guanzi and made Yang Xun anxious, and almost didn't leave the burden.

Song Yunping led Yang Xun to the rabbit cage, pointed to the rabbit cage with a smile and said to Yang Xun: "Look at what this is?" โ€

Yang Xun took a look and saw that there were several snow-white rabbits in the cage.

"Where's the rabbit!" Yang Xun asked Song Yunping curiously.

Song Yunping said: "Of course, I bought it from the county animal husbandry station. โ€

Yang Xun said: "Sister, do you plan to raise rabbits to sell?" โ€

Song Yunping shook her head with a smile and said, "No, the rabbit is not for sale for the time being!" โ€

"Keep it for yourself? Give my brother-in-law a tooth sacrifice? Yang Xun asked curiously.

Song Yunping said: "Don't you think there is any difference between this rabbit and the rabbits we usually see?" โ€

Hearing this, Yang Xun looked curiously up and down at the rabbit in the cage that was eating vegetable leaves, and said, "I don't see any difference!" โ€

Song Yunping said: "You take a closer look." โ€

Yang Xun frowned slightly, and looked at it carefully again: "Except for the rabbit fur is longer, it seems that there is really no difference!" โ€

"Wait!" Yang Xun chuckled in his heart: "Rabbit fur? โ€

"Sister!" Yang Xun immediately raised his eyes and looked at Song Yunping: "Are you all selling rabbit fur?" โ€

Song Yunping said: "That's right, this is called long-haired rabbit, it is a breed introduced from abroad, the county factory has a special collection of this kind of rabbit hair, I went to ask, the price is not low, I carefully calculated, the profit margin is not small, and this is allowed by the policy." โ€

Especially the last sentence, Song Yunping emphasized.

Yang Xun said: "Can rabbit fur really be sold for money? โ€

Song Yunping pointed to the long-haired rabbits in the cage and said, "Of course, otherwise what would I do with them!" โ€

"But we don't seem to have any long-haired rabbits here!" Yang Xundao.

Song Yunping said: "It's because no one raises it, so the price is high, if everyone raises it, and the long-haired rabbit becomes a rotten street, can the price still be high!" โ€

Yang Xunyan's eyes lit up instantly: "That's right, since ancient times, things are scarce and expensive. โ€

Song Yunping said: "If you want to raise, go to the county animal husbandry station, buy some breeding rabbits and go home, this rabbit raising is not a heavy work, your younger brothers and sisters can also help you take care of them after school." โ€

Yang Xun was already excited: "Ming'er is ยทยทยทยทยท Nopeยทยทยทยทยท Today, I'll go to the county seat and buy a few long-haired rabbits later. โ€

Before the words fell, Yang Xun couldn't wait to turn around and want to go to the county seat.

"Oops!" Song Yunping hurriedly called Yang Xun: "Don't worry! It's not that simple, this long-haired rabbit is not so easy to raise, you don't understand anything, buy it back now, it's okay to feed it, but if you die, it will be a loss. โ€

Yang Xun immediately froze in place.

"So what now?" Yang Xun looked at Song Yunping and asked.

Song Yunping said: "Don't worry! So, one day when you are free, bring your mother and your younger siblings over, and I will teach them my experience in raising long-haired rabbits these days. โ€

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoping!" Yang Xun is not that ungrateful person, hearing Song Yunping think about him so much, the feeling of alienation in his heart that was originally born from being rejected by Song Yunping last time gradually dissipated, and all that was left was gratitude.

The next day, Yang Xun brought his mother and sister over, leaving Yang Xun's younger brother at home to watch the house, after all, Yang Xun is boiling sugar at home now, there are too many things at home, if no one is watching, let alone Yang Xun, even Yang Xun's mother can't rest assured.

Song Yunping did not break her promise, when she told Yang Xun's mother and sister about the experience of breeding long-haired rabbits and many precautions one by one.

A few days later, Yang Xun also brought back a cage of long-haired rabbits from the county seat.

On the other hand, Lei Dongbao has led the villagers of the Xiaolei family brigade to start a drastic reform since he went to find Song Yunping to get the experience.

Lei Dongbao also adopted the same method as the Shanbei Brigade, first dividing the fields into groups and paying according to their work, which pushed Lei Dongbao's prestige in the Xiaolei Family Brigade to a new level.

After the villagers of the Xiaolei family brigade tasted the sweetness of dividing the fields into groups, they all shouted for the village to divide the fields into households.

There was hope for this day.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Song Yunhui's graduation.

Song Yunping discussed with Wang Zhong that she was going to visit her younger brother in the provincial capital, and by the way, she would see what Song Yunhui's school was like.

It is worth mentioning that not long after Song Yunhui left that year, Wang Chong led Song Yunping to the town and helped Song Jishan take off the hat that had been worn on his head for more than ten years.

Until the day he was taken off his hat, Song Jishan pulled Wang Zhong to drink cup after cup, until he was drunk and unconscious.

Since he was taken off his hat, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and the guilt he had always had for his wife and a pair of children gradually dissipated, and the smile on Song Jishan's face also increased, and the whole person looked much more cheerful.

In the provincial capital, in the university dormitory, Song Yunhui had just returned to the dormitory from class, passed by the door of the dormitory manager, and was suddenly stopped by the dormitory manager.

"Song Yunhui!"

"Uncle Li! Is there something wrong? Song Yunhui stopped, smiled and asked politely.

The doorman said: "I have your phone, saying that it is your sister and your parents, let you hurry back one!" โ€

"My sister and my parents?" Song Yunhui asked suspiciously.

The doorman had already handed the notebook with the phone number written on it to Song Yunhui, "Oh, this is it." โ€

"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Song Yunhui immediately memorized the number, came to the phone, picked up the microphone and dialed it.

After a beep, the call was connected.

"Is it Xiaohui?" Before Song Yunhui could speak, his sister Song Yunping's somewhat excited voice came from the microphone.

"Sister?" Song Yunhui also immediately heard his sister's voice.

Song Yunping's tone was still a little excited: "Xiaohui! It's really you! โ€

"It's me!" Song Yunhui said quickly, these days, the phone bill is expensive, and Song Yunhui is not a rich family, so he naturally does not dare to squander it wantonly.

Song Yunping said: "I came to the provincial capital with your brother-in-law, and now I live in the Yunlai Guest House near your school, room 203, if you are free, come over quickly!" โ€

"The phone bill is too expensive, so I won't talk about it!"

As soon as Song Yunping finished speaking, before Song Yunhui could answer, he hurriedly hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Song Yunhui, who was holding the microphone, was confused.

Did my sister and brother-in-law come to the provincial capital? And you live in a guest house just outside the school?

When he came back to his senses, Song Yunhui immediately hung up the phone, gave the money without hesitation, and then didn't bother to go back to the dormitory, took the book and rushed out of the dormitory building, listening to the whistling wind of the two, his feet were like stepping on hot wheels, and he kept running in the direction of the Yunlai guest house outside the school.

In less than ten minutes, Song Yunhui, who was panting like a cow, stopped outside the Yunlai Guest House, holding his hands a few inches above his knees, holding a book in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, leaning over and panting heavily.

Only took a few breaths, and before his breathing was stable, Song Yunhui couldn't wait to enter the Yunlai Guest House, went straight to the second floor, found room 203, and knocked on the door.

In a few moments, the door was opened.

"Xiaohui!" It was Song's mother who opened the door, and Song Yunhui was stunned when he saw his mother.

"Mom?" Song Yunhui's eyes were full of disbelief: "What's wrong with you!" โ€

Mother Song said with a smile on her face: "Not only am I here, but your father and your brother-in-law are here!" โ€

Song Yunhui's eyes swept into the room, and even when he saw his father who had stood up, his sister Song Yunping who was walking towards him with a smile on his face, and his brother-in-law Wang Chong, who was also smiling next to him.

"You kid!" Mother Song looked at the sweaty Song Yunhui with a distressed face: "Why are you in such a hurry!" โ€

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat for his son.

It's just that Song Yunhui's height is more than half a head taller than Song's mother, and Song's mother can only tilt her head and raise her hands high.

"Don't stand at the door, come in!" Song Yunping pulled Song Yunhui, who was still in shock, into the room.

"Dad! Sister! Brother-in-law! Song Yunhui watched as the whole family came.

Song Yunping walked to the window, leaned over and picked up a sleeping sweet doll, walked up to Song Yunhui and said, "Your nephew is here too!" โ€
