Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

He Yongqiang glared and said, "Who cares if it's true or not? She goes her way and I go mine."

Xu Huizhi said: "Are you stupid? If it's true, I'm also her cousin, so ask her to find a job for me too."

It must be said that the couple's ideas are surprisingly consistent. However, He Yongqiang was defeated by Xu Huizhen last time, and now he has no illusions. He said unhappily: "Don't dream, she hates us in her heart, how can she help you? It's good enough that she doesn't add insult to injury."

Xu Huizhi: "She has taken all the He family's wealth and gained such a huge advantage. Why won't you help her with this little favor? Logically, when the old man passes away, you should have half of the wealth."

He Yongqiang lowered his head and said angrily: "When I divorced, I signed an agreement and gave up my property. At the same time, I didn't have to pay for raising Xu Huizhen's daughter."

When Xu Huizhi heard this, she slapped He Yongqiang and said, "Are you stupid? If we don't sign the agreement, we can always go fight with Xu Huizhen for the family property."

He Yongqiang: "I have severed the relationship of adoptive father and son with my uncle, what else do I need the family property for?"

Xu Huizhi: "Who can prove it? When we said this, there were only you, me and the old man present. Now that the old man is gone, what we say is the truth. By the way, when the old man adopted you, was there any document?"

He Yongqiang: “Yes!”

Xu Huizhi: "It's easy with the document! It's signed by the old man himself, it's real evidence."

He Yongqiang said dejectedly: "In the tavern. I left in a hurry and forgot to bring it with me."

Xu Huizhi stretched out her hand and twisted He Yongqiang's waist, and said bitterly: "You are so stupid that you opened the door for stupidity. You are so stupid." He Yongqiang raised his hand and slapped himself. Impulse is the devil, and he will regret it forever.

Xu Huizhi: "I don't care. In a few days, go to the city to find my sister and ask her to arrange a job for me in the embroidery factory."

He Yongqiang stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not going. If you want to go, you go."

Xu Huizhi was very disappointed with her friend: "You are just stubborn. You have ruined a good hand of cards." The two fell asleep in anger and unwillingness.

At the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, He Yuzhu, after careful consideration, approached the logistics director Li Huaide and said, "Director Li, I saw that you particularly liked the green vegetables my uncle sent last winter. How about we build a vegetable greenhouse this winter to grow off-season vegetables? On the one hand, we can use it to entertain guests, and if there are a lot of them, it would be nice to give some to the leaders during the New Year and other festivals."

Director Li narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, your idea is very good. But who can build a vegetable greenhouse?"

He Yuzhu patted his chest and said, "I know a lot about it. If you don't understand something, you can learn from others! My second uncle's relatives were very successful in planting last year. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to give you this suggestion."

Director Li: "How much money do you need to invest?"

He Yuzhu: "It doesn't cost much to build a vegetable greenhouse with bricks and tiles, only the glass on the roof is a bit more expensive. This amount of money is a piece of cake for our factory. We can start with a small amount, do an experiment, and then think about the future after it succeeds. As long as we can get the land first, it will be easy to find manpower. Many of the family members of our factory employees are unemployed, so it is not difficult to find a few good vegetable growers."

Director Li: "Okay, I'll be responsible for finding connections and going to the suburbs to buy a piece of land. You'll be responsible for the rest of the work, such as purchasing raw materials, vegetable seeds, and planting techniques. If you need funds, go to the finance department for an advance. I'll say hello to the finance department."

He Yuzhu knew that Li Huaide's father-in-law was very capable. It was with the support of his father-in-law and his own efforts that he became the factory director. He Yuzhu's goal was not just to grow some vegetables, but to build an agricultural and sideline product base to cope with future famines. When famine comes, food is the most precious thing, and money can't buy it.

However, if he rashly proposed a huge plan, Director Li might not approve it. So he wanted to build a vegetable greenhouse first, to start with, and then slowly build on it.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu said: "Director Li, the land in the suburbs is not valuable now, you can take this opportunity to apply for more. As the urban population increases, the city will also expand to the surrounding areas. Take our factory as an example. It has been gradually expanding in recent years, and the number of employees has increased. By then, the land in the suburbs will also rise in price, and we will take it first. You are in charge of the logistics of the steel mill, just like our family life, and you should make plans in advance. Many years later, if the land in the suburbs increases in price, it will be the fixed assets of our factory. The employees of our factory will have to praise you, Director Li, for your foresight and preparation!"

Director Li was flattered by He Yuzhu and said with a smile: "Zhuzi, people call you Shazhu, but I find that you are very smart. You think very thoughtfully and long-term."

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Let's talk about population. In this peaceful time, every family has four or five children, and some even have seven or eight. Housing in the city will be a problem in the future. Won't we develop towards the suburbs?"

Director Li nodded: "I understand, you can go back first. I'll find you if I have anything else."

He Yuzhu also told Xu Huizhen about his thoughts, just to listen to Xu Huizhen's suggestions. Xu Huizhen was surprised by He Yuzhu's change. This silly Zhu finally got wise and started to think.

She said, "Zhu Zi, your idea is very good. I will fully support you. I will prepare seedlings and seeds for you later. My seeds are all high-yield seeds. Also, the selection of land is also very important. First of all, there must be a water source and the soil must be good and suitable for planting."

So, He Yuzhu was busy building a vegetable greenhouse during this period. He often went out early and came back late, and his visits to Xu's house were obviously less frequent.

After the autumn harvest, Xu Huizhen took some time to go to Xujiawan. She had agreed with Uncle Xu that she would come to collect the harvest.

She really underestimated the hardworking level of rural people. In the warehouse, there were piles of sacks neatly stacked. There were soybeans, mung beans, red beans, dried vegetables, and baskets of chicken eggs and duck eggs.

You have to know that in that era, staple foods such as corn and wheat were planted in fertile fields, and coarse grains such as beans could only be planted in the corners of wasteland, or on hillsides and embankments. Being able to harvest such a large amount was beyond Xu Huizhen's expectations.

There is no corn or flour here, because the land in Xujiawan is not good land, mostly mountainous, and the grain yield is not high. After paying the public grain, the rest is not enough for them to eat.

The village chief said: "The beans have been weighed, 100 kilograms per bag. The quality is also very good, you can check it out."

Xu Huizhen said: "No, I believe the village chief will not lie to me. After all, this is not a one-time deal. If we want to cooperate for a long time, mutual trust is a must."

The village chief continued, "The eggs are all fresh and prepared for you in advance. There are also some salted duck eggs. Uncle Xu is collecting fresh vegetables according to your request. Pigs and ducks are being slaughtered in the mountains today. A few male ducks are kept as breeding ducks, and the rest are all killed. Each household has its own roosters. The old hens are collected today and will be transported to the warehouse for you in the evening."

Xu Huizhen plans to store the fresh vegetables in the space and sell them in winter at a good price.

Xu Hui really wanted to go to the mountain to see what the farm run by the village was like. In the end, she gave up the idea and decided to try not to show up in the village so that the villagers would not associate her with the acquisition. The fewer people who know about it, the better. There are all kinds of birds in the forest, so it is better to have less trouble than more. She will go again next time when she has the chance.

In this way, Xu Huizhen did not stay in the village for long. Aunt Xu was pregnant and she thought that the fourth child was about to be born. She did not want to cause trouble for others. That night, after counting the goods, the payment was given to the village head and Uncle Xu. After receiving the money, the two smiled happily. It is not easy for rural people to earn a little money. This is all extra income.

That night, after receiving the goods in the space, Xu Huizhen left Xujiawan under the pretext of following the truck transporting the goods.
