Chapter 321: Ahead of The Times

Chapter 321

Because Pei Jing was in a hurry to leave, Zhi Xia let Sister Zhang stay and help clean up, while she went home first.

At the door, Zhi Xia was stopped by An ZhiAng, "Little sister, where did you get that sobering medicine? Do you have a lot left?"

Zhi Xia instantly understood his intention, "There's still quite a bit left, do you need some?"

This medicine was specially made by the genius doctor sister, not only for sobering up but also for nourishing the stomach, which happens to help alleviate the burden on the body from drinking too much.

"It's not for me, I can't drink much in the army either. Liu Jun asked me to help him ask," This is good stuff, and he had already experienced the benefits himself.

After returning home, Zhi Xia found that Pei JianGuo and Pei Shuangshuang were also there.

Ever since Wang Yue's divorce, Pei Shuangshuang had rarely come to this side. Zhi Xia didn't expect her to come for her fourth brother's wedding too.

Pei Xiang had already gotten married two years ago. Although it wasn't a shotgun wedding, her husband's family didn't have many houses, so the couple lived with Pei Yong. At that time it made her sister-in-law very happy.

But Pei Shuangshuang was already 26, yet Zhi Xia hadn't heard anything about her dating.

But then again, they weren't close, so even if Shuangshuang was dating, she herself might not know.

She still had to maintain politeness on the surface. Zhi Xia greeted them, then asked Pei Jing, "Weren't you going to leave? Have you finished packing?"

Although she really wanted him to stay a little longer, she was even more unwilling to let him travel at night.

"Done." Pei Jing stood up and said to Pei JianGuo, "Do you want to go back? I can give you a ride on the way."

He also knew that Zhi Xia didn't get along with them, so there was no need to let them stay and cause trouble for her.

"Don't hold little uncle up, I rode my bike here. I'll take Shuangshuang home later," Pei JianGuo said.

From beginning to end, Pei Shuangshuang didn't say a word, always standing slightly behind Pei JianGuo.

When she thought about it carefully, it was no wonder that the distance grew between Guo Momo and Pei JianGuo.

Because PingAn was born prematurely and disabled, and Guo Momo herself also lost the ability to have children, Pei JianGuo as a father actually still loved the culprit Pei Shuangshuang. No wonder anyone would have a hard time accepting that.

After the siblings left, Zhi Xia said, "Pei JianGuo is quite respectful to you. Usually when you're not home, those two don't even come to the door."

Meeting an old friend again, Zhi Xia was also filled with emotion.

Returning home, Wan Qing was tying Yue Ya's hair in the yard. Zhi Xia knew Hu Zhou must have come over.

"Mom, look how pretty I tied it!" Wan Qing's eyes curved into crescents when she smiled, vaguely resembling Zhi Xia's looks, but mostly like Pei Jing's.

"Beautiful, my daughter is so capable." Zhi Xia praised her, and saw Hu Zhou when she went inside.

Zhi Xia poured herself a glass of water and sat across from him, "Just happened I have something I want to discuss with you."

Hu Zhou had been sitting with his legs crossed, and hurried to sit properly when he saw her come back, "Sis An, what is it?"

"Making money." Zhi Xia put the glass on the table and asked him, "After the news of reform and opening up, you saw the changes happening on every street. Do you have any other ideas?"

Hu Zhou thought about it seriously, then tentatively asked with knitted brows, "Does Sis An mean opening a shop?"

Although it was also a good way to make money, he felt that for now it wouldn't make more than profiteering from grain.

Unfortunately Sis An always kept grain prices very low. If the prices could be higher, just considering the second half of last year, the money they earned would certainly have been several times more than now.

Moreover, she required that the grain that left her hands could not be resold at high prices, offending quite a few people because of it.

It wasn't unreasonable for Hu Zhou to think this way, since many black marketeers made money like that.

Later it was the government's relief grain that improved the situation somewhat.

"Not opening a shop, opening a factory," Zhi Xia said.

Hu Zhou's spirit lifted, then hesitantly said, "I'm afraid that won't work. Opening a small shop they probably won't interfere with, but opening a factory would be competing with the state, right?"

After all, for now all factories were state-owned enterprises. They hadn't heard of private factories being approved.

"Of course it can't be opened in Jincheng." Zhi Xia clearly knew the direction of the future, and had long made plans in preparation for this moment.

Next, the country would establish four special economic zones to initially implement the open policy to attract foreign businesses.

This was a great opportunity. To make money, they would have to be at the forefront of the times.
