Mother Li responded with a smile, "If you take anything else when you go home, you are not allowed to take it again next time."

Li Xinran responded with a smile, but she would still take it the next time she came back.

Li Tongye also came over, glanced at the Hongji cans placed aside, and asked with concern, "I saw that the cans in the department store were on sale a while ago. Your food factory was not affected at all, right?"

"It's okay. We are a newly opened food factory and we will always compete with others. Now the canned goods have returned to their original prices."

"I also plan to bring some canned yellow peaches to our hot pot restaurant." Li Xinran responded casually.

From the moment Li Xinran walked into the store, Li Tongye carefully observed his sister's expression, and was relieved when he saw that she was indeed happy.

"Dad is very motivated at the hot pot restaurant every day. Even when he comes home at night, he still talks to mom about things in the hot pot restaurant."

When Mother Li heard this, she snorted with a hint of disgust, "Your dad is very ambitious now. At first, he was worried that the hot pot restaurant wouldn't make money."

"Now I think about it all day long. After a while, the hot pot restaurant has recovered its capital and made money, and I will open another branch."

"Maybe in a few days, he will even think about where to open a branch."

Li Xinran couldn't help but become happy when she heard this, "How wonderful it is for dad to do this. I think our dad has some ideas."

"Nowadays, there are self-employed people everywhere. Everyone wants to start a small business to make some money. Even workers who receive public food want to start a side business."

"Our family has this ability, let alone fall behind others."

When Li's mother heard this, she glanced at Li Tongye and said, "You and your brother are truly brothers and sisters. They say exactly the same thing."

Li Xinran also looked at Li Tongye.

Li Tongye laughed, "A few days ago, I saw a family over there in Houhai selling their yard, so I bought it."

"The courtyard faces the street. It can be used as a shop with some modifications. I plan to open another clothing store."

Li Xinran responded excitedly, "This is a good thing, brother."

Houhai is a good place, and the value will definitely increase in the future. Even if you do nothing, it will be enough to just collect rent.

"Look, what am I talking about? When you two brothers and sisters talk about making money, your eyes light up," Mother Li teased with a smile.

Li Xinran hugged Mother Li's arm and kept a straight face, but the corners of her eyes were curved and full of smiles.

"Comrade Li, your thinking is wrong. This is reform and opening up, and we must keep up with the trend."

Mother Li patted her daughter's arm twice and said in a very proud tone, "Why haven't I kept up with the trend?"

"I'm the manager of this clothing store!"

Li Xinran and Li Tongye laughed at the same time, "Yes, yes, yes, Mom, you are the latest to follow the trend."

"Hmph!" Mother Li raised her head slightly and snorted softly.

After entering the store, Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu'er, who ran to the side, heard the three people's whispers and looked over curiously.

"Mom, Mom, what are you and uncle laughing at?"

Li Xinran's face was still full of smiles, "Congratulations to your grandma for becoming the manager of a clothing store."

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Grandma is so amazing." Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu'er said exaggeratedly with their mouths wide open.

The store manager must be a very powerful official.

Mother Li turned around and took the hands of the two little guys, her raised eyes full of arrogance, "In a moment, grandma will take you to eat delicious food."

"Uh-huh."

"Uh-huh."

Xiaojin and Xiaoyuer nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Li Xinran and the two little guys stayed in the clothing store for a long time before leaving.

The next day, Li Xinran took Xiaojin and Xiaoyuer back to the military compound.

Similarly, she also carried two cans of Hongji yellow peaches and some fruits in the space.

When Commander Shen saw the Hongji can, he couldn't help but take a second look.

He also heard a little bit about the recent competition between Hongji Can and Sanfeng Can.

Moreover, he also heard from people below that most of the employees in Hongji Food Factory are veterans with physical injuries.

Therefore, he paid more attention to Hongji Food Factory.

"Xinran, is this Hongji canned product produced by your factory?" Commander Shen asked slowly after looking at the Hongji canned food on the table for a few times.

"Well, I opened a food factory in the suburbs of Beijing a while ago. Now I mainly make canned yellow peaches and chicken soup-flavored instant noodles." Li Xinran answered simply.

Commander Shen continued to ask, "Who are the workers in your factory?"

This is also a matter of great concern to him.

Li Xinran smiled. It seemed that Commander Shen already knew something.

However, she still said truthfully, "Most of the workers in the factory are retired soldiers, and a small number are villagers near the factory."

Commander Shen's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his serious face, "You are a good comrade."

"You are a good comrade."

Li Xinran had a calm look on her face, without any hint of pride, "We recruit workers from anywhere. Veterans have good discipline, work neatly, and are very efficient."

That being said, Commander Shen understood the truth behind it, "Did the second brother recommend it to you from his comrade?"

He really knows his son better than his father. Li Xinran sighed inwardly and complimented with a smile, "Dad, your guess is really accurate."

Commander Shen's laughter was particularly hearty, "I don't know what kind of virtue the second son is."

"He has been in the army for so long. If he has such an opportunity to resettle his old comrades, he will definitely miss them."

"Dad, Boyuan's comrades are all very capable at work," Li Xinran subconsciously said something to Shen Boyuan.

Commander Shen understood what he said.

Yes, he is an old man who worries too much, and the young couple have a good relationship.

Mother Shen on the side also raised the corners of her mouth.

When lunch was approaching, Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu'er each held a bottle of soda and sipped the straw happily.

"Mom, this soda given by grandma is delicious," Xiao Yu'er said to Li Xinran while drinking the soda.

Xiaojin also held a bottle of soda in his hands and corrected him sternly, "This is not a soda, this is Kuokou Kuole."

Cheerful?

Coca Cola?

When Li Xinran heard this familiar name, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Then, she looked down at the name written on the soda bottle. It was indeed Coca-Cola.

There didn't seem to be any Coca-Cola in the department store, and she hadn't been to the Overseas Chinese Friendship Store recently.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Coca-Cola has appeared on the market.

Mother Shen heard the conversation between Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu'er and smiled kindly, "If Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu'er like to drink, there are still a few bottles at home, but no one is drinking. Take them with you when you go back."

"Ah."

"Yes." Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu'er nodded heavily.

"Grandma is the best."

Xiao Yu'er asked again thoughtfully, "Grandma, do you really not like drinking?"

"How delicious is this Kuokou Kuole?"

"Brother, do you think it tastes good?"

"It tastes good," Xiao Jin replied affirmatively.

Mother Shen laughed and said, "Grandma is old and doesn't like to drink soda. Xiaoyu'er can help grandma drink it, okay?"

"Okay," Xiao Yu'er answered louder.

"And me," Xiao Jin quickly interjected, "Grandma, if there's anything else you don't like to drink, I'll help you drink it."

Mother Shen touched the little guys' faces and said, "Are you going to empty grandma's refrigerator?"

Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu'er shook their heads together.

Why did they have to empty the refrigerator at grandma's house? They were so small and couldn't carry so many things.

During lunch, in addition to the big elbows that the two little guys loved, there was also a dish of Coke chicken wings on the table.

Mother Shen specially placed the Coke chicken wings in front of Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu'er.

"These are chicken wings made with your favorite soda."

"Come on, you two, one chicken wing each."

When Xiaojin and Xiaoyuer heard that there was soda in this dish, they immediately opened their eyes and looked at the chicken wings in the bowl.

After the two little guys looked at it for a while, they took a big bite and their eyes lit up.

"Grandma, this dish is delicious."

Mother Shen's face became even happier when she saw her two eldest grandchildren eating so deliciously.

After lunch, when she was leaving, Shen's mother brought several bottles of Coca-Cola to Li Xinran.

The two little guys looked at the Coca-Cola in Li Xinran's hand with bright eyes.

Grandma was so kind to them and brought them a lot of Coca-Cola.
