In the past half month, Qingqing became familiar with several women next to the school. Someone would sit by Qingqing's small house and chat with her when nothing happened.
Qingqing also seemed to have changed. She was no longer so afraid of strangers. She also learned to do some simple needlework, and she became much more cheerful.
Seeing Xiaocao, the two of them were extremely happy. They hugged each other. They had endless words to say, endless feelings to express, and they couldn't see enough. The more they looked, the better they looked...
Nian Jianan was very happy to see Qingqing who looked good, but he always felt that Zheng Bajin's house was too small and not suitable for people to live in at all.
Zheng Bajin understood what his father-in-law meant, looked at him and said: "I exchanged this piece of land for the field, and made two hundred yuan. I plan to build a factory within today, as long as it can block the wind and rain."
"Exchange for good farmland?" Although Nian Jian'an has not had much interest in farming in recent years, he still feels that Zheng Bajing is losing money by doing this.
Zheng Bajin nodded and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this piece of land. In the near future, I will use it to generate more than ten times the value."
Nian Jian'an's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he saw a business opportunity, and said softly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? This is a treasure land, close to the school, and even if you sell some notebooks, pens and ink, you can support your family. "
Zheng Bajin smiled. He must have more than this in mind. Selling school supplies was just the starting point.
Nian Jian'an looked at the pile of coal again and asked curiously: "You are already planning to start a coal business, why are you in such a hurry to return the tractor to me?"
No, it’s easy to borrow and return, and it’s not difficult to borrow again! If you don’t pay it back, won’t your old man come after you and ask for it?
Zheng Bajin cursed and said with a smile, "That's right. It's the rainy season and the weather is hot. Coal sales are not very good. Let's sell it first and free up our hands to build a factory."
"I just calculated it. The tractor is wasting away idle. You can continue to pull coal. If you can sell it, sell it. If you can't, just pull the coal to me. You can take as much coal as you want."
"Didn't you say that sales are not good now? Are you still selling?" Nian Jian'an looked at Zheng Bajin strangely.
"Pull it! There are few people pulling it now, and the price in the factory is very low. If we put it together in winter, we can make a fortune, right?"
Nian Jian'an nodded after hearing this and said as if he was asking for advice humbly: "It turns out that you think so far and stand taller than me."
"Haha, dad doesn't need to praise me like this. Let me tell you, in one month, I earned more than three thousand." Zheng Bajin deliberately reserved it because he was afraid of scaring his old father-in-law.
"Really? So powerful?" Nian Jian'an couldn't believe that his son-in-law was bragging.
"Will I lie to you again?" Zheng Bajin smiled and said softly, "There is nothing good about this place, except for the high yield of potatoes and the supply exceeds demand. You can take them out and sell them in the wholesale market in the city. , if you go to the mountains to pull coal, won't you make money on both ends?"
Nian Jian'an nodded when he heard this. It turned out that his life had been in vain all these years. He only worked hard and did not think about doing this in business.
At this moment, Zheng Bajin took out a pamphlet from his arms, handed it to Nian Jianan, and said softly: "I'll tell you another little trick, but don't tell anyone."
Nian Jian'an was extremely confused. He took the booklet and read it. He didn't quite understand: "Isn't this just a roster? What's the use of it?"
"Yes, it's a roster, and there's only one person's name on the page. I'll fill it up once and only use one person's name."
Nian Jian'an was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Are you using agricultural oil?"
"Shh, keep your voice down." Zheng Bajin interrupted Nian Jianan's words, as if he knew what he was saying.
The price of agricultural oil was only half of the negotiated oil. He no longer planned to use it, so he taught this trick to his old father-in-law.
At this time, Hu Ying heard that her in-laws were coming, so she ran from home and happily greeted Nian Jian'an to come and sit at home.
Zheng Bajin also wanted to tell Nian Jianan how he brought a gambler like Zheng Laohai back to the right path. However, in front of Hu Ying, he gave up the plan of self-inflicted embarrassment and said with a smile: "Everyone go back first, and I will plan how to maximize the use of this place."
Nian Jian'an glanced at Zheng Bajin, smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll come with you and hear what your plans are."
"Okay then! Qingqing and her mother take Xiaocao home first, cook some food, and eat together." Zheng Bajin nodded with a smile and accepted Nian Jianan's suggestion.
Of course he understands that Nian Jian'an's real purpose is to do business with him.
However, not everyone can do this business, let's just say Jian'an this year. Although it has made some money over the years, he is too upright and doesn't know how to manage money, so he still doesn't have much money.
In Zheng Bajin's mind, he decided that Nian Jian'an was only suitable for doing things that didn't use his brain, which was the fundamental reason why he suggested that he continue driving.
The two looked at the ground in front of them and talked for a long time.
Zheng Bajin also occasionally listened to his father-in-law's opinions. However, he did not adopt it because he had already made up his mind and planned in advance.
I won't invest too much money here, I just plan to build a simple factory building.
Keep more money and do more.
Half an hour later, Zheng Bajin took Nian Jian'an home. There was no stall selling fresh meat in this place, and it had to be found on the street ten miles away.
Zheng Bajin always felt a little sorry for his old father-in-law, mainly because he didn't know he would come, otherwise, he would weigh two pounds on the street.
The two of them walked on the road, looked at the uncle face to face, and said with a smile: "This must be Qingqing's father. It's really great. Let's go and sit at my house."
Nian Jian'an also laughed and glanced at Zheng Bajin with a questioning look.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my uncle. He is the best to me, better than my biological father." It turned out that the uncle had already heard about the visit of his nephew's father-in-law, and on the way he introduced Hu Ying, Qingqing and Xiaocao. Brought to his home.
At this moment, Hu Ying and Qingqing were busy cooking at home, and Zheng Jiashan came to see Bajin.
Zheng Bajin was very grateful and understood his uncle's good intentions. He was afraid that he would not be able to entertain his father-in-law, who had come all the way from afar, in his humble home.
After taking a deep look at the uncle, he stopped refusing and walked towards Zheng Jiashan's home together.
Zheng Jiashan took out the old ham from home, while Qingqing was cooking and washing it.
Although she had objections to Nian Jian'an, she was his biological father after all, and she didn't want her father to look down on Zheng Bajin at this time. Just keep the goodness of Zhengjiashan in mind while cooking.
In this short period of one month, she actually experienced family love that she had never experienced before.
The uncle is really a good man, but it is a pity that the aunt ran away from home and has not returned yet.
The uncle didn't seem to care in front of others, but Qingqing could see that he was often sad alone.
On that night, she and Zheng Bajin were lying in the small house and finished what they had to do. She had told Zheng Bajin about this.
Zheng Bajin didn't take it to heart and said with a smile: "A woman like this should leave the group as soon as possible."
Qingqing was still a little sad for his attitude, and asked Zheng Bajin if he would run away from home one day, would he look for her.
Zheng Bajin smiled and said seriously: "It is common for couples to quarrel. What's the reason? If you are like the eldest aunt, you can't even see your mother-in-law, that's the bottom line. But, I believe you are not like that. people."
"Believe me so much? How do you know I'm not this kind of person?" Qingqing said with a half-smile.
"I've figured out what your character is, how could you hide it from me?" Zheng Bajin said with a smile, "You can even tolerate your stepmother's behavior, so how can you dislike my relatives?"
"Ha, to tell you this, no matter what happens, I will treat your relatives as my own." Qingqing assured Zheng Bajin seriously.
…
Before they knew it, Zheng Bajin and the other two arrived at Zheng Jiashan's house.
Mrs. Zheng was very happy when she heard that it was Qingqing's biological father who came. She stood up and gave up her seat.
Nian Jianan was a little flattered and helped the old lady sit down.
The old lady kept praising Qingqing for how sensible and capable she was. She was really grateful to Nian Jian'an for giving her such a good granddaughter-in-law.
Qingqing felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head to cut the meat.
Nian Jian'an heard this with mixed feelings and could only be polite and modest...
