Chapter 1287 Seeking each other
“Okay, mother, please go back to your room and rest.”
Cai Xiufen smiled and nodded: "Then you go to bed quickly, mother will leave now."
As she spoke, she got off the edge of the bed.
Jiang Li said "hmm" and watched Cai Xiufen leave the room and lie down on the bed again.
…
“Is Li Bao asleep?”
Chai Xiufen returned to the room where she and Captain Jiang lived. Before she could speak, she heard Captain Jiang asking questions. She nodded: "Li Bao was already lying down when I passed by."
“Didn’t you mention the color TV to Li Bao?”
Seeing Cai Xiufen lying down on the kang, Captain Jiang pulled down the light cord. The room suddenly became dark, and he asked Cai Xiufen casually.
“What can I ask?”
Cai Xiufen secretly rolled her eyes and said, "Li Bao is just trying to show off to us. You want me to give out the money for the color TV, so you don't have to worry about my daughter getting in trouble with us? Do you think we are alienating her and don't treat her as a human being?" A daughter?"
Captain Jiang felt wronged: "I just don't want Li Bao to spend money. After all, she has many children at home, and she has to fund road construction, primary schools, and factories here. There are too many places to spend money. We can give Li Bao saves the money.”
“The fact that Li Bao was able to fulfill her filial piety by buying that big color TV shows that it’s nothing to her, so don’t worry about it.”
As Cai Xiufen spoke, she paused for a moment and then added: "Now that Li Bao's life experience has been revealed, if we family members suddenly figure everything out, given how smart our daughter is, she will definitely think too much."
Captain Jiang felt more and more wronged: "How many times do you want me to say it? I really just want to help my daughter lighten the burden, but you misinterpret it here. I really don't understand what you women think about every day."
Turning over, Captain Jiang changed from lying on his back to lying on his side. He turned his back to Cai Xiufen: "We raised Li Bao together since we were little. She has always been my daughter. No one can change this fact!"
At the end of the story, Captain Jiang’s tone became obviously more serious.
Cai Xiufen smiled: "Okay, okay, I misunderstood what you meant. However, why does our Li Bao like to do important things in silence so much? He shocked us during the Spring Festival. This time when we return to our hometown, And without us knowing it, we actually bought a large color TV for our parents, and told Guozhu that it was for us to honor our parents. To be honest, when Guozhu mentioned it, I felt very proud!"
Hearing this, Captain Jiang did not say anything, but he was actually thinking the same thing as Cai Xiufen.
At that moment, after listening to Jiang Guozhu's words, especially when his brothers were present, he also felt light on his face.
Uncle Jiang’s house.
“The second brother and his wife are better at raising children than we are.”
Lying on the kang, Uncle Jiang had not yet fallen asleep. He said casually. After hearing this, Sun Fengzhu did not feel any dissatisfaction. After all, she was almost seventy and an old lady. What else could she look down on now? ? But when he heard his wife sighing repeatedly, Sun Fengzhu couldn't help but said: "You are right, the second child and his wife are indeed better at raising children than us, but there is another reason. Do you want to know?"
There is no doubt that Sun Fengzhu is the name of Aunt Jiang.
Uncle Jiang: "You can say whatever you want."
“The second child’s brain is better than yours, and the babies he gives birth to will naturally be of high quality.”
Once he heard what Sun Fengzhu said, Uncle Jiang didn't expect that he would be depressed even as he got older.
After a long silence, Uncle Jiang said, "You're right, I haven't been as clever as the second or third brother since I was a child."
"Okay, okay, I just said casually, how old are we? What's the use of talking about it now except to make yourself uncomfortable? Besides, Li Bao helped tutor that year, and our family also had a child. Two college students, and in the next few years, another one was born. Ultimately, this is all the result of Li Bao. We must remember the goodness of our children. "
Sun Fengzhu spoke unhurriedly, and beside her, Uncle Jiang listened quietly.
"You didn't say anything. Could it be that I said something wrong?"
When asked by his old wife, Uncle Jiang quickly responded: "You are right."
"I was right, but now, Li Bao not only brought a big color TV to our family, but also bought gifts for our whole family, especially for us uncles and aunts, as if they were filial to us. I don’t know what the third child’s family thinks, but I feel both happy and sorry about it.”
“Then be nice to Li Bao.”
“Since when have I been bad to Li Bao? Now we all know that Li Bao was not born to the couple, but this doesn’t really matter to me, what do you think?”
"It's nothing. Li Bao has been well-behaved since she was a child. It doesn't matter whether she was born to a third child or not, she is very lovable."
Uncle Jiang said, with a hint of envy in his tone: "Do you think we were not as lucky as the old couple back then to find such a good girl like Li Bao?"
“It can only be said that we don’t have that fate.”
Sun Fengzhu lamented: "Speaking of which, the second brother and his wife are also tight-lipped and have kept Li Bao's life story secret. If Li Bao's biological father hadn't found Li Bao, I guess based on the temperament of the second brother and his wife, they would have I’m afraid that even when I close my eyes, I won’t reveal Li Bao’s life story.”
Uncle Jiang: "Would you tell me?"
"Won't."
Without thinking about it, Sun Fengzhu gave the answer, and then she said: "Go to sleep, it's all in vain for us to envy the second brother and the couple for raising a good daughter."
Uncle Jiang’s house.
“Li Bao has gained face for his second brother and second sister-in-law.”
Uncle Jiang smacked his lips and said, "Not only did he have a future, he also wanted to help the villagers build roads, build a primary school in the village, lead the villagers to make a fortune, and buy NTU color TV sets in the name of his second brother and second sister-in-law. To relieve our boredom, why don’t we have such a well-behaved daughter?”
"We're not lucky! But you have to admit that we uncles and aunts have received a lot of gifts from our children in the past few years since Li Bao went to Beicheng. Just like this, Li Bao bought us a new suit. New clothes are not only of good quality, but also of fine workmanship. I guess they will cost a lot of money.”
“Years ago, Li Bao sent a pair of military cotton boots to me and my eldest brother, and a cotton-padded jacket to you and my sister-in-law. It’s only been so long, how come she still spends money on us? Really!”
“What you say is not what you mean.”
“How come I don’t mean what I say?”
“Even though you say that, you are happy in your heart!”
"I am indeed very happy that you were right. I actually enjoy the blessing of a niece in this life!"
Uncle Jiang's face was full of smiles: "When Li Bao returns to Beicheng, remember to bring more of the mountain products we picked to Li Bao."
“You don’t need to tell me, I know it in my heart!”
Aunt Jiang yawned as she spoke, then closed her eyes: "It's late at night, go to sleep."
Uncle Jiang responded, and then there was no sound in the room.
…
Jiang Li has been very busy for three consecutive days. After all the things to be done are done and the factory site is selected, Jiang Li decides to leave early tomorrow morning to return to Beicheng.
At this time, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Li and Jiang Guozhu were sitting in the brigade office, talking about planting and breeding.
“Planting and breeding integrated ecological recycling park? It will cost a lot of money to follow your plan.”
Jiang Guozhu frowned: "Also, aren't you worried about losing all your money?"
“Brother Guozhu, there are risks in doing anything, but since I choose to do it, I don’t worry about the risks, and I’m not unsure.”
Jiang Li looked relaxed. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have assessed the risks. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that within five years, our village and even the nearby villages will be completely different."
“Does Second Uncle know? And Mr. Jiang, does he know?”
Jiang Guozhu still wants to persuade Jiang Li to cancel the planting and breeding integrated ecological recycling park plan.
“My father and I naturally support me. Besides, this is what I want to do, so there is no reason for them not to support it.”
With a smile on his lips, Jiang Li reassured Jiang Guozhu: "Brother Guozhu, I never fight an uncertain battle. When this ecological park is built, I will introduce professional talents to work in it. This is not a small-scale factory-style fight. There are rules and regulations to speak of.”
After a long silence, Jiang Guozhu nodded: "Okay, I will help you with the contract work. If you have any questions, I will communicate with Assistant Xing."
Assistant Xing is the male assistant Jiang Li brought here this time, and he is very capable.
“Then I’ll leave everything to you, Brother Guozhu!”
Jiang Li smiled and stood up: "If you have to contact me, Brother Guozhu can call me directly, or you can ask Xing Feng to call me."
The reason why we need to build an integrated ecological recycling park for planting and breeding is, to put it bluntly, to provide sufficient sources of raw materials for the factories to be built.
Because of the current living conditions in rural areas, although everyone can basically have enough to eat than a few years ago, it is still a bit unrealistic to say that there is extra food to feed livestock.
Since she wants to run a cannery, she must have her own characteristics. Therefore, with sufficient funds, she will start from the source, run the business in a down-to-earth manner, and strive to create her own food brand in the shortest possible time. .
Yes, she will not only sell canned goods, but will also expand other food-related production lines based on this cannery later, such as moon cakes, candies, dried fruits, dry goods, etc.
Make full use of the mountain and forest resources in our hometown to let the folks here live a good life.
Of course, you have to eat your food one bite at a time, otherwise, something could easily happen.
“Brother knows.”
Jiang Guozhu nodded.
“Then I won’t sit here any longer. If I have something to talk to Brother Guozhu in the future, I will also call our brigade headquarters phone number to find you.”
Out of the office, Jiang Li waved to Jiang Guozhu: "No need to send him off, I'll be back in a few steps."
Looking at his walking back, Jiang Guozhu only had one sentence in his mind: My cousin is so brave!
Just after he got home and sat down, an unexpected guest came to Jiang Li. When he saw him, Jiang Li recognized him at a glance: "Chunmei."
“Sister Li Bao.”
Yes, the visitor was Xu Chunmei, the fourth eldest child of the Xu family, Xu Chunxia’s sister. Seeing Jiang Li recognize her after a few years, Xu Chunmei looked slightly moved: “I didn’t expect Sister Li Bao to recognize me.”
"sit down."
Inviting Xu Chunmei to sit down, Jiang Li asked, "What's the matter?" She understood the meaning of what Xu Chunmei said before, but in Xu Chunmei's view, she looked rougher now than in previous years.
"…Um."
Xu Chunmei's face was a little hot, but it was hard to tell because of her dark skin.
“It’s okay to just say it.”
Pouring Xu Chunmei a cup of tea, Jiang Li sat on the bamboo leaf opposite.
There was no one else in the hall, which undoubtedly made it easier for Xu Chunmei to speak. She said, "My third sister ran away that year and never came back. Have you ever met Sister Li Bao in Beicheng?"
…”
Jiang Li was silent. She looked at Xu Chunmei for a moment and asked, "Are you very concerned about your third sister?"
"She...she is wrong, but no matter what, she is still my third sister. I just want to know if she has been living well outside these years."
Xu Chunmei said slowly.
Hearing this, Jiang Li asked: "You came to me just to ask about your third sister?"
Xu Chunmei shook her head instinctively: "No, it's not."
"Your third sister's path is her own, and she had the choice to run away from home in the first place, so whether she lives a good or bad life outside is her own business. Although you are her sister, you should use your own Life matters.”
It’s not that Jiang Li doesn’t want to talk about Xu Chunxia, but what’s the use of saying it?
And when she first met Xu Chunxia in Beicheng, she didn't even think of calling her hometown. Now she has no idea whether Xu Chunxia is in Beicheng or what her living situation is like.
If you just tell Xu Chunmei like this, you may not get a word of thanks, but you will be complained about.
Okay, maybe she is a villain, but if she can save herself a little trouble, even if she is a villain once, it actually doesn't matter to her.
What's more, she is not the Holy Mother. When Xu Chunxia and her relationship had broken up, she once reminded her out of good intentions not to drink with strangers and walk together. However, the other party didn't listen to her and refused to tell her. The sentence "mind your own business".
In this case, it is naturally better to do less than to do more.
“That’s what Sister Li Bao said.”
Xu Chunmei nodded, then pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, then said: "I married to the next village three years ago. My life in my husband's family is much better than in my own family.
But after all, there was no future in digging food in the fields, so I thought about going to the south to work with the villagers. But I gave birth to a child last year, and I really... couldn't worry about leaving her at home.
Hence, I have never made up my mind to seek a living outside. Two days ago, I heard that Sister Li Bao was going to set up a factory in our town, so... I just wanted to come over and ask you if I could work in the factory? Sister Li Bao, my hands and feet are very diligent. "
Jiang Li: "I do want to set up a factory in our town, but there are standards for recruiting workers in the factory..."
“Sister Li Bao, although I have never gone to school, I am literate. I promise I will not make any mistakes at work again!”
Xu Chunmei looked anxious and said: "If I can work in the factory, my daughter and I will have an easier life in the future. Sister Li Bao, I beg you, please allow me to work in your factory!"
With her eyes red, Xu Chunmei needed a job so that her mother-in-law would not be at home all day criticizing her for giving birth to a loser.
If her man's heart hadn't been for her and their daughter, she would never have swallowed her anger in front of her mother-in-law and allowed her to do what she did every day.
But if she becomes a monthly wage worker, her mother-in-law's attitude towards her will definitely change, and she will no longer call her daughter a loser.
So, she especially needs a job!
“Listen to what I have to say first.”
Being interrupted by Xu Chunmei, Jiang Li showed no trace of annoyance on her face. She looked indifferent and said softly: "Now we just choose the factory site. From the start to the completion, it will take at least several months.
When the factory site is almost completed, workers will be recruited from outside. At that time, just because you are literate, you will have the opportunity to work in the factory.
In addition, you need to have a physical examination before entering the venue, and you must be well-groomed and pay attention to personal hygiene. If you can meet the requirements I mentioned, you have a high chance of being admitted. "
In the food business, hygiene is the key. Otherwise, let alone a long-term business, the food sold may cause problems for people to eat.
Such a hidden danger, she will eliminate it from the root!
“Then can I do this?”
Xu Chunmei lowered her head and looked herself up and down, she asked Jiang Li.
"It's okay. But you have to remember that our factory requires employees who are not only neatly dressed, but also have no greasy hair, no dirt between fingers, and no odor on their bodies. In short, when it comes to recruiting, we will not be casual. Just recruit people casually.”
"I see."
“Pay attention to personal hygiene and dress neatly. This will not only make you feel happy, but also show respect for others and your work.”
“Sister Li Bao, I cut off my fingers when I got home, and I will continue this habit.”
“That’s good of you to do that.”
Jiang Li smiled and said: "From now on, you will strictly follow what I said and I believe that you will become a part of our factory in the future."
“Thank you, Sister Li Bao! Thank you for telling me this!”
Xu Chunmei was very moved, her eyes filled with tears, and she said: "I was very happy on the day I got married, because I was leaving my parents who did not regard their daughter as a human being, and leaving a home where I could not feel any happiness; today, Sister Jiang Li just said to me Those gave me an opportunity to work in the factory, and I am also very happy. This is the second time in my life that I am happy.”
“Opportunities are for those who are prepared, and I just gave you some suggestions, but I didn’t help you with anything.”
Her company, her factory, and all the industries she operates will never need related households and will never be nepotistic.
But if the relatives related to her are capable, she would not mind absorbing such talents.
Just like the ancient people who promoted virtuous people without avoiding relatives.
“Girls must learn to be strong. As long as you have the ability and can stand up, nothing is impossible.”
Giving Xu Chunmei a piece of encouragement, Jiang Li said: "Drink water. If you don't drink it, you will get cold."
Xu Chunmei picked up the cup and drank it down after a while. She put the cup back on the table and stood up: "Thank you, Sister Li Bao. I'm going back. Please pay more attention to your health when you are out there."
Hearing this, Jiang Li nodded lightly and said, "I'll see you off."
After sending the person to the gate of the courtyard and watching Xu Chunmei walk away, Jiang Li looked away, and then a voice came over: "Li Bao, do you think my aunt can join your factory as a worker?"
Looking up, Jiang Li saw that it was Cui Daxiao who was talking to her. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Auntie, the factory has not been built yet. After it is built, there will be a dedicated person in charge of recruiting workers. It doesn't matter what I say."
“See what you said,”
Cui Daxiao came over and stood two steps away from Jiang Li. She said, "The factory is yours. Whether my aunt can go in and become a worker is just a matter of your words."
“That’s really not something I can decide with just one sentence.”
Jiang Li's eyes were calm and indifferent, and she smiled at the corner of her mouth: "No matter what company you are in, each department has its own person in charge, and it is not anyone's responsibility. But lesbians like Auntie who pay attention to hygiene, love cleanliness, and are in good health are waiting for us. The factory has started recruiting workers, and my aunt will probably be hired smoothly. "
There is no need to offend anyone here.
Based on this, Jiang Li couldn't help but say two beautiful words.
"Really? I didn't mean to say that in our village, your aunt and I are famous for being quick at work and being clean."
Cui Da Xiaodao is a true portrayal of "I say you are fat and you still gasp" at this moment.
“Ouch! Cui Daxiao, what are you bragging about?”
Li Da Niu walked over from far and near. She looked Cui Daxiao up and down and said, "Look at the clothes on your body. They haven't been washed for ten or eight days, right?"
Look at your hands again. They are pitch black, and your hair. Although it is not as messy as a chicken coop, it is still unsightly. With this image, if you enter Li Bao's factory, you will not only be embarrassed. , and you have lost face in the factory. I think you should not join in the fun when the time comes! "
Cui Dajiao's face turned ugly: "You said who's clothes have been worn for ten or eight days and haven't been washed? Li Danniu, you don't need to bury me here to promote yourself. As you are now, what do you have to do with me? Both?"
"I'm a loser, but you're trying to raise me up? Cui Daxiao, what do you think about me? Let's stand together now, let Li Bao talk about it, let's see who is the loser and who is slovenly."
After listening to Wang Chunhua's words, Jiang Li did not expect that the fire would reach her. Just when she opened her mouth to persuade the two of them, Cai Xiufen walked out of the yard. She looked at Cui Da Xiao and then at Wang Chunhua: "You guys What are you doing? If you want to quarrel, don't do it in front of my Li Bao. People who don't know what they think my daughter has done to you."
“Sister-in-law Xiufen, I didn’t quarrel with the loudspeaker, I just chatted with her.”
Wang Chunhua twitched the corners of her mouth, with a smile on her face.
"Yes, yes, Wang Chunhua and I are just chatting here. It has nothing to do with your Li Bao."
She still wants to work in the factory run by her daughter, but she doesn’t dare to offend her mother-in-law.
Cui Dajiao looked at Cai Xiufen with the same smile as Wang Chunhua.
"What you just said at the door of my yard I heard clearly in the yard. If you ask me, you don't even look at how old you are. You have to wait until the factory recruits workers. How can you be with your son?" Daughter-in-law, are there any other girls who are 18 or 19 years old?"
Cai Xiufen's words shocked Cui Daxiao and Wang Chunhua. They looked at each other and didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Okay, it's very windy outside. You guys should go back to your homes quickly. We, the two of us, won't see you off here."
With that said, Cai Xiufen greeted Jiang Li to enter the courtyard.
In the main room, Jiang Li looked helpless: "Mom, what you just said was too direct."
"Those old ladies are so shameless. If they don't speak clearly, they think they can go to heaven!"
Cai Xiufen didn't feel that what he said was excessive at all. She snorted coldly and continued: "It's just your Aunt Cui and your Aunt Wang. They are only three or two years younger than your mother and I. Your factory will recruit people later, who can Recruiting such an old lady? "
Jiang Li said with a smile: "Of course not."
“Then it’s over.”
Chai Xiufen said: Although what I said was straightforward, I also asked them to recognize the reality and not to join in the excitement. "
Then catch the insects. . .
