Although the provincial road has not been completed yet, the road in their village has been opened to traffic and cars pass by from time to time.

Unlike the small trucks seen in the town before, there were all kinds of vehicles passing by on the provincial road, including buses, small trucks, cars, tricycles, and even large trucks that the villagers had never seen before.

Looking at those large trucks whose modifications look exaggerated to the naked eye, Zheng Juzi is worried about how long the provincial road can withstand it. It seems that those seemingly stubborn and rigid regulations that do not allow vehicles to be modified at will are not unreasonable.

Abnormal regulations often come from even more abnormal accidents - as long as the law does not prohibit it, an engine can move a mountain.

There are quite a few houses built along the provincial roads, most of which are used as storefronts.

Zheng Jie really went to learn how to repair cars, but he hasn't learned enough to open a shop yet. His wife is now running a fast food restaurant.

The storefronts of Zheng Chunsheng and Zheng Xiaohu’s homes are also fast food restaurants, and several other families who have built houses also sell fast food.

There are only so many cars passing by, but there are many fast food restaurants. Some of them are not doing well, and some are even losing money. Various disputes and quarrels are inevitable on a daily basis.

The storefront of Zheng Juzi's family is located a little off the beaten track, but the usable parking area is a little larger. There are bamboo items such as cool mats and lounge chairs placed outside, and Zheng Hanqiu decorated it with bamboo curtains and floral fabrics, which makes it look quite elegant. It looks different from other shops. Their shop mainly displays two kinds of goods: rice dumplings and cool mats.

Zheng Guixiang is already too busy managing the breeding farm, and Mu Xiaoyun has to make cured meat and has no time to spare. Although the three siblings take turns to come and keep an eye on the farm, they have to be taken care of by school on a daily basis. The main people in charge of the store are Zhou Yan and her sister-in-law.

Although the two of them did not speak Mandarin very well, they were still the best in the village. What's more, Zhou Yan had a strong desire to make money. Compared to a fixed salary of more than 30 yuan a month, she was willing to try a job where the more she sold, the more she could earn.

She started by selling rice dumpling gift boxes, and within half a month she had sold 5000 gift boxes.

"Our gift boxes are only 8 yuan each, but some people buy hundreds of them." Zhou Yan reported her performance to Zheng Juzi. "The customer who bought the most wanted 800 gift boxes at once, and some paid a deposit and wanted to get 2000 gift boxes in a few days."

Most of the truck drivers passing by are delivering goods or returning to the city. Many of the smart ones will take some goods that they think they can sell on the road, and will also bring some goods from other places to sell here.

There are not many people like this, but for general transactions, they will not buy a few items at a time. They will agree to bring goods to each other using roadside shops as turnover points.

"When you told me this before, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true. I can earn more by doing business than working in a factory." She can get commissions if she can sell things. She can get 1 cents for selling one gift box. If she sells 2 gift boxes, she can get 1000 yuan. It hasn't even been a month, but she feels like she has earned more than she has in her entire life.

When she got married, the man gave a dowry of 200 yuan to her family. Her mother gave her 100 yuan of it, which was considered very good in the same village.

But a sewing machine costs over a hundred yuan. It is not difficult to have enough food in the village, but it is still difficult to earn a few dozen yuan. Especially since she wants to buy a bicycle before she has children, so that it will be more convenient for her to go back to her parents' home in the future.

She felt that the best thing she had done in her life was to become friends with the two sisters after getting married.

Zheng Juzi nodded. A gift box cost 8 yuan. After deducting various costs, she would make more money by selling 5000 boxes. In addition to the business from Zhou Yan, she also gave a batch to the leaders in the town.

In the past, her father was there for us when we had small fights, but now that we want to become bigger and stronger, we naturally have to start building a good relationship with him.

I also sold a batch of goods by the way. After all, this thing is very suitable as a gift during the Dragon Boat Festival. It is not too expensive, but it is definitely not shabby.

There was no news from Shanghai yet, so she wanted to prepare more money while there was still some time.

"In addition to the gift boxes, there are also cool mats. In the past, the cool mats in the village were all wide. I didn't expect that people outside would like narrow ones. That kind of cool mat can only accommodate one person, which is very uncomfortable to sleep on in summer." Zhou Yan didn't understand, but it didn't matter. As long as the things sold well, she would get more commission.

Zheng Juzi did have an idea and did not make it according to the regular size. "Narrow mats are mainly used by workers and students, not ordinary households."

"So that's how it is. You can even think of this." Zhou Yan now began to blindly worship Zheng Juzi.

In fact, it’s no wonder that she didn’t think of it. Everyone has been in the village year after year, and what they have heard about the outside world is already a distorted world after various versions. It is too difficult to extract useful information.

After getting used to the Internet, I feel that mobile phones are harmful. When the boss asks for overtime, he will call us in the WeChat group. All kinds of short videos make people addicted. I feel disconnected from the world without my mobile phone for a day.

It was only when we went back to the time when it was difficult to even install a telephone that we realized how useful the Internet was. We could get any information we wanted with just a few clicks.

The disadvantages are obvious when you have it, but only when you lose it do you realize how valuable its advantages are.

Of course, it’s a good thing that she doesn’t have it, otherwise how can she make a fortune by relying on the existing information?

"Although summer hasn't arrived yet, we have sold quite a few mats this month. We have sold more than 7000 narrow ones and a few hundred wide ones. It's not summer yet, so we estimate that we will sell even more when summer comes."

Cool mats are seasonal and cannot be sold after summer, but they are just the right time to sell them. A wide cool mat costs 5 yuan and a narrow one costs 4 yuan. Her commission is 5 cents. She is confident that she can make more money if she sells more.

She can feel confident at home if she can make money.

If the sales volume remains at this level in the next two months, she would like to persuade her husband to split up and build a house near Zheng Hanqiu's.

More and more people in the village are building brick houses. In fact, his family is also eager to do so. The only problem is that they have no money. Now that she can make money, she is more motivated and works very hard.

Finally, news from the Magic City came slowly, and Zheng Juzi received the news that was announced more than half a month ago - the banks in the Magic City were collecting treasury bonds.

Zheng Juzi showed it to Zheng Guixiang, "Dad, I didn't lie to you. It's all in the newspaper. The treasury bonds can be exchanged."

With the "encouragement" of his mother and children, Zheng Guixiang has been studying hard. He might not recognize words when reading newspapers before, but now he has no difficulty reading. After reading it carefully several times, he finally puts his mind at ease.

"Okay, I'll go to the Magic City as soon as I buy the ticket." Zheng Guixiang said. The news was confirmed, and he felt relieved.
