"Really, with this water flow, it feels like the whole yard comes alive instantly."

Qin Wanqiu couldn't help but smile and praise.

She has always known how to appreciate beautiful things, but she has been busy with life and work and has no time to pay attention to it. Now she lives a relaxed and free life, and gradually reveals her true temperament.

When Peng Wanhua saw her smile, her sunny, frank and mature charm perfectly blended, comparable to the blooming of a begonia, and her mood became beautiful.

"Sister Qin, look at how much younger you look in an instant when you smile more. If you smile more, maybe others will think you are my sister when we stand next to me in the future."

The corners of Qin Wanqiu's mouth raised and she said, "That's nonsense, how old am I?"

Although she said this, the smile on her face could not be concealed. After all, a woman's biggest enemy is age.

Now hearing Peng Wanhua compliment her on her youth made her feel happy.

Suddenly her tone changed, she smiled and joked: "But maybe it's not mainly because I look young, but because you look older."

Peng Wanhua twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and proudly touched his beard without refuting.

After all, this beard is one of the sources of his charm. It doesn't matter if he looks older, he is reluctant to cut it off.

After visiting the courtyard, Peng Wanhua and his wife returned to the courtyard at No. 19 Kunming Lake East Road.

It's still early and it's not yet time for lunch.

Qin Wanqiu's eyes were full of work. When she saw some dust in the yard, she picked up the broom and started cleaning the yard.

Peng Wanhua didn't want to just watch. He fetched water from the well and began to wash away the dust on the stone slabs in the yard. It took about ten buckets to wash less than half of the area.

He couldn't help complaining: "This yard is so big that it's troublesome. No one can live in it for half a month, and the dust is so heavy that people can drown."

Qin Wanqiu took a broom to sweep up the dirty water after flushing, and said with a smile: "If I lived in such a big yard, I would sweep it three times a day."

Peng Wanhua smiled slightly, "I thought so too at first, but now it's difficult to scan even once every three days."

Qin Wanqiu laughed and said, "You are lazy. You don't even have the strength to do more work. You don't know how diligent others are."

Peng Wanhua could only laugh bitterly, and then struggled to carry a few more buckets of water to wash on the stone slabs of the yard.

Men and women are matched, and the work is tiring.

After flushing for a long time, the entire yard has been flushed. The water vapor evaporates and takes away the heat, making the yard instantly cooler.

"Take a break."

Under the grape trellis, Peng Wanhua brewed a pot of tea and chatted with Qin Wanqiu while drinking tea.

Before even chatting, Qin Wanqiu saw that it was almost noon and went into the kitchen to make lunch for him. Peng Wanhua stopped her and said, "Don't bother, we can go out to eat on such a hot day."

Qin Wanqiu glanced at the kitchen. The house was complete with rice, flour, grains, oil, pots and pans.

"It's not troublesome at all. I think everything here is ready-made. Just buy some groceries."

Such a big kitchen is much more elegant than the two coal stoves and a chopping board that she used as a kitchen in the courtyard.

Qin Wanqiu was delighted to see Hunter and wanted to show off her cooking skills.

Peng Wanhua felt that he didn't have any money with him. He remembered the place where he used to store his change when buying groceries. He opened a drawer under the wine cabinet and saw a pile of money and coins.

He pulled out a few big cards and said, "What kind of food do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you."

Qin Wanqiu saw that Peng Wanhua casually took out dozens of dollars, and there were at least several hundred dollars in the drawer. She couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly.

Others wanted to sew money into their clothes, but he could just throw it in the kitchen without fear of being stolen.

But seeing that his house is so big and beautifully decorated, I guess this small amount of money is not worth his care.

She smiled and said, "It depends on what you want to eat. I can basically cook home-cooked meals."

Peng Wanhua thought for a while, "Then I will prepare all the chicken, duck and fish meat, and I will try your craft today."

While the two were chatting, Zhao Liangyou and Chen Guangcai came looking for them together.

They came to see Peng Wanhua before he went to Haiqing Province and said they wanted to do some business.

After being stimulated by Zhang Bin and others, the two of them finally made up their minds to go out and try their luck.

Peng Wanhua naturally agreed with both hands and suggested that they go to Manzhouli Port to check it out first.

Since the Manzhouli Port opened 80 years ago, it has become an important trade area with Big Brother in the north.

Although in the mid-69s, due to the abnormal relations between China and the Soviet Union, the trade freight volume at the port decreased year by year. However, in the early 80s, with the implementation of the reform and opening up policy, the freight volume at the port increased year by year.

The freight volume last year was only 18 tons, and this year it has reached nearly 40 tons. In a few years, the freight volume will exceed 300 million tons.

Under the guidance of Peng Wanhua, Zhao Liangyou and Chen Guangcai visited the Manzhouli Port and found that the supply of fruits, tobacco, alcohol, meat, leather shoes, gloves, clothes and other light industrial products exceeded demand.

This is a blue ocean.

That's what they came for today.

Behind the two of them was a young man named Cui Dawei. The young man was tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, and was responsible for Russian translation.

This was one of Zhao Liangyou's former fellow villagers. He had studied and learned Russian, and later worked as a translator in a publishing house, and was hired out by him with a large sum of money.

"Brother, Guangcai, Dawei and I have been to the north and want to talk to you about future plans." Zhao Liangyou said.

Peng Wanhua was about to go out to buy groceries when he heard what he said, "Sister Qin and I were preparing to cook, and we just happened to have a meal together and have a good chat. Whoever runs faster can go to the small market in the alley over there to buy some chicken, duck, and fish. ?”

Chen Guangcai took a step forward and said, "Brother, leave this little thing to me. In addition to meat, do you want to buy some other vegetables?"

"Okay, you might as well buy some." Peng Wanhua nodded and handed him the money.

Chen Guangcai turned around and went to buy groceries.

Peng Wanhua took out several teacups from the kitchen cabinet, went to the grape trellis and poured tea one after another.

Zhao Liangyou held the teacup and said, "Brother, you're welcome. Dawei and I can do it ourselves."

This was the first time for Cui Dawei to come to Peng Wanhua's yard. He had long heard Zhao Liangyou talking about Peng Wanhua. He was the eldest brother's eldest brother. At this moment, he did not dare to speak and sat down carefully with half his buttocks.

When Peng Wanhua saw this, he smiled and said, "No need to be so formal, we are all brothers."

Cui Dawei grinned and suddenly felt that Peng Wanhua was not as serious as he was said to be, and was quite approachable, so he relaxed.

After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Guangcai ran in soon after and delivered the dishes to the kitchen before coming to sit down.

When Peng Wanhua saw everyone gathered, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Liangyou and the other three looked at each other, and finally Zhao Liangyou spoke on behalf of the group:

"Brother, we plan to try selling some basic daily necessities first. The heavy industry there is very developed, but there is not enough attention to these light industrial products, and the market demand is huge."

Peng Wanhua nodded. It seemed that the three of them had indeed put in a lot of effort to investigate.
