"It's a letter from Luo Ye." Xie Chengzhi raised the letter in his hand, "He knew we were together often, so he only sent it to Xiaomin."

Although we are both in the capital, Luo Ye rarely writes to me.

Lu Mingzheng asked: "Did you tell me about their situation?"

"Yes!" Song Zhian's eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly, "Mingzheng, you never thought that little Luo Ye also took the college entrance examination last year like us, and he was admitted to the special recruitment class for young people of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics."

"What?" This time, Lu Mingzheng was really surprised, "Doesn't that mean it's very close to us?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "It's true, this letter was sent from the school. He said he was in closed training in the wild in the past few months, so he didn't write a letter." Then he took out the envelope and showed it to him.

When Lu Mingzheng saw the words on the envelope, he took a deep breath and murmured, "Good boy, when he graduates, I'm afraid he will become my boss directly."

Although the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics is not a military academy, he knows that this special recruitment class for young people is a group of military talents trained by the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics on behalf of the military, and the admission conditions are much stricter than those of ordinary colleges and universities.

"It will take him five years to graduate." Xie Chengzhi shook his head.

"While we are free, can we go and see little Luo Ye first?" Song Zhian asked with bright eyes.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Let's write to him and ask when it's convenient for him."

"Where is Mr. Luo?" Lu Mingzheng asked.

"Mr. Luo is not in good health yet, and he is recuperating most of the time." Zhu Xiaomin said, feeling a little depressed just now, and sighed, "Those years were too difficult, and his health was seriously damaged."

Lu Mingzheng put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her.

Yang Aijun suggested: "Xiaomin, let's write to Luo Ye and ask him when is a good time to go see Mr. Luo on a weekend."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Well, maybe during the summer vacation, Luo Ye will also go back." She asked Lu Mingzheng, "When will you have another mission?"

Lu Mingzheng was silent for a moment. Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, he said apologetically, "I will rest for three days, and then I will go to the desert in the northwest to do experiments. I'm afraid I will be gone for several months."

That is, he was away from home for several months.

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Can you come back during the summer vacation?"

Lu Mingzheng shook his head: "It depends on the specific situation. If the experimental results are not good, we need to conduct on-site research and improvement."

Even if I came to the capital, I still couldn't see him whenever I wanted.

Zhu Xiaomin sighed inwardly and could only say, "If you can't come back, let's go see Teacher Luo first."

Lu Mingzheng nodded in response.

Song Zhian moved a stool to sit next to him and asked, "Mingzheng, I heard from my classmates that soldiers stationed outside the city would go hunting in the mountains. Did you do the same when you were in the recruit camp?"

Lu Mingzheng laughed and nodded: "Yes, sometimes the army's kitchen team will organize hunting in the mountains."

Song Zhian asked eagerly, "They say we can eat all kinds of game. We can often hunt wild boars? Are there also bears? Are they delicious?"

Lu Mingzheng was helpless: "Why don't you go up the mountain and kill one to try?"

Song Zhian immediately waved his hand: "I can only catch a few pheasants at most, but I can't beat the wild boar."

Do you know you can't win?

Xing Qingsheng and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhu Xiaomin took out another envelope from the room, listened to everyone's laughter for a while, and then said, "New task."

Why is there another mission?

The yard was quiet, and all eyes were on her.

Zhu Xiaomin pulled out two pages of paper and handed them to Chen Xudong, who was closest to her. "Written here are all the products of Zhulu Food Factory. Soon all kinds of fruits will be ripe, and the food factory will increase its production efforts. However, this year's output is expected to be 30% higher than last year, so there will be pressure on sales. With so many of us in Beijing, we need to find a way to open up sales channels in Beijing."

While listening to her talk, Chen Xudong had already read through several pages of paper and handed them to Wu Xulin beside him.

Chen Danqing came over from behind and took a look at his hands. He nodded and said, "For snacks, we also need to consider the shelf life. We can try those with a long shelf life and convenient transportation. Those with a short shelf life are difficult to transport. We can try canned food and jam, but it would be better to have samples before we can talk."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I have written to Li Wenzhe. When the first batch of products comes out, please bring them to us first, and then you can share them. As for how much sales you can open, it depends on your ability."

Yang Aijun also took a few pieces of paper and looked at them, then nodded and said, "These new snacks should have a market in school."

He Wenhua said, "There should be fewer universities, let's try primary and secondary schools."

Miao Shiwen shook her head: "Girls in college also like to eat snacks, you can give it a try."

Zhu Xiaomin slowly added, "It's not in vain. You can be the factory's sales agent and get a commission based on the proportion of the products sold."

Having lived together for many years, they were used to helping each other. No matter it was voluntary teaching or building bases and factories in the village, they had done a lot of voluntary work, and no one had ever cared whether it was in vain. This factory was built by everyone, so they were happy to help with its development. However, after hearing her words, they were still a little excited, and immediately three or five people gathered together to discuss it.

Lu Mingzheng also grabbed a piece of paper and came over to take a look. He asked Zhu Xiaomin, "Why are the canned foods only canned fruits? In fact, if there are some high-calorie foods, you can try the army."

"Yes!" Zhu Xiaomin's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately. "In addition to our mutton, several brigades' pigs will be raised by the end of the year. We can try canned meat." As he spoke, he went back to the house to get paper and pen to write a letter to Xu Xilin.

Luncheon meat was a hot commodity at that time, and domestic ham sausage had not yet been released. She took the lead and was able to seize this huge market.

In the past four years, the knowledge that the educated youth had learned from Luo Tingyuan made them feel at ease even when faced with double majors. Now that they had something to do again, they immediately became energetic. Seeing this, Xie Chengzhi was worried and asked quietly: "Xiaomin, with so many of us, can the factory keep up with production?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "This is a problem. I will ask the factory to estimate the production again. But even if the production cannot keep up, we still have to seize the market. We can't wait until the existing market is saturated before opening up new sales channels. That would be too passive."

Everyone nodded as they listened, and some of them took out paper and pen to recopy the list.

After a lively afternoon, everyone left one after another as they had new tasks to do.

Lu Mingzheng went to close the gate of the courtyard, and when he came back he saw Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen holding the two children to coax them to sleep. He took over Jiang Sao's job and asked her to take care of Niu Niu.

Xie Chengzhi helped him tidy up the tables and chairs, talking about what happened at home in the past month or so: "There are several children in the village who are classmates with Xiaochen. Knowing that we are tutoring him, the parents came over and hoped that we could bring those children along. We thought that Xiaochen was too quiet, so we agreed. We hope that Xiaochen can get familiar with them quickly."

Lu Mingzheng asked: "Where is Niuniu?"

"Niuniu is young, so she has a stronger ability to adapt. She can help us coax her younger brother during this period of time." Xie Chengzhi smiled.

Lu Mingzheng also smiled, feeling quite relieved.
