Chapter 454: Better Than a Newly Married Couple

Jiang Xingye's crops planted in the mountain valley for two consecutive years failed to sell. Later, the valley was discovered, so he stopped planting there and started planting crops directly in Xu Qinghuan's space.

In the past two years, he has used puppets to cultivate a lot of food in the space.

He had placed a tractor, threshing machine, harvester, plow, and other farm implements inside. He didn't need to do any farming himself; the more he planted, the more grain he could eat.

There are also some common fruit trees planted inside, such as pears and peaches.

Otherwise, how could the couple have the confidence to bring four people with rural household registrations from their hometown to the city?

No matter how much money you have, you can't buy affordable food without food coupons.

Even if you have money, you wouldn't dare to be so ostentatious about eating expensive food on the black market.

Jiang Xingmei said, "You should also pay more attention to your surroundings. If you find a suitable man, you can try dating him. Lan Yin is all grown up now and doesn't need your help. Just take care of yourself."

Jiang Xinglan blushed. "Why are you bringing this up?"

She's divorced, it's not that easy for her. Who would want to support a woman without a registered residence?
She also has a child with her.

Jiang Xinglan only thought about making more money with her younger brother so that when they returned to the countryside in the future, she would be a wealthy woman and have more confidence.

The next morning, as the sunlight streamed in, Xu Qinghuan woke up. Sensing Jiang Xingye's movements, she pressed him down, saying, "Stop it, or I won't be able to get up."

Jiang Xingye rolled over and said, "How can I control it? It's restless when it sees you, but it's doing just fine outside!"

Xu Qinghuan retorted stubbornly, "How would I know if it behaved itself outside?"

Jiang Xingye laughed, he loved seeing his wife jealous. He hugged and kissed her for a while, and only let her go after she admitted her mistake and begged for forgiveness.

After getting off her, Jiang Xingye put his arm around his wife and said, "I need your help with something later."

"You're too kind. What's the matter?"

Xu Qinghuan was truly exhausted.

Last night, Jiang Xingye wouldn't let it go and was woken up again in the middle of the night.

“I met someone in the south who helped me a lot. He had broken his leg once and it wasn’t cured at the time. I brought him here and wanted you to take a look.”

"What's there to help or not? I'm a doctor myself. Just bring the person over so I can take a look."

"it is good!"

Xu Qinghuan goes to the lab during the day. With the start of the semester approaching, she plans to finish her research project before then, leaving her with only two days to complete it, which is quite a tight schedule.

But no matter how busy she is, she resolutely refuses to work overtime unless Old Cen has something urgent for her to handle.

She got home at six o'clock. Unexpectedly, her father also came today and was talking to a young man in the yard.

The young man sat upright like a pine tree, very reserved in front of Jian Jingchuan. The mimosa trees in the courtyard had a canopy that could block out most of the sun, and a cool breeze was blowing, but the young man was still covered in sweat.

“If you’re injured, get treatment. Can things be the same now as before? You’ve been listening to those cooks bragging all day, ruining your health. What are you trying to do?” Jian Jingchuan said sternly.

Jiang Xingye brought out two cups of tea. "Dad, I asked him if he was a veteran, and he lied and said no. But I could tell at a glance that the wound was a gunshot wound."

Zhou Jingsong was about to drink tea when he saw someone come in. He quickly stood up, and Xu Qinghuan could tell that his leg was not good.

Zhou Jingsong was quite amazed when he saw the person who had arrived, but he politely looked away quickly.

Jiang Xingye introduced, "This is my wife, and this is the friend I told you about."

Xu Qinghuan extended her hand generously to the person, "Hello, welcome!"

Zhou Jingsong quickly wiped his hands on his pants, gave him a brief handshake, and then quickly let go. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"Don't mention it, I am a doctor."

She washed her hands and came back to examine Zhou Jingsong's leg. "The bone hasn't fully healed yet, but it's still not too late to set it again. Go to the hospital tomorrow to get admitted, and I'll arrange the surgery as soon as I have things to do." She stood up and said to Jiang Xingye, "The recovery should be fine."

When Zhou Jingsong was hospitalized, the doctor told him personally that his bones were too shattered and that they could only guarantee that his leg would be reattached, but he would definitely not be able to walk like a normal person.

He had no choice but to retire from the military.

Xu Qinghuan ranked first in her grade last semester, leaving the second-place student more than 30 points behind. She also got full marks in several courses, so the department stopped paying attention to her.

After she finished her research project in the lab, she asked Professor Cen for leave to perform surgery on Zhou Jingsong.

The surgery was not difficult for her. After the surgery, Zhou Jingsong was arranged by Jiang Xingye to stay in their family's courtyard to recuperate.

Jiang Xinglan would bring him meals every day. At first, she would also bring his clothes over to wash, but later she simply started washing her clothes there.

When Xu Qinghuan realized something was wrong, Jiang Xingye told her, "Zhou Jingsong still has more than a thousand yuan in his hand, his discharge allowance when he was discharged from the army, and the money he saved during his military service. He asked me to buy him a house here."

“Then tell Grandpa and Grandma that they are very familiar with the old men and women in the neighborhood now, and they know who is selling their house or something.”

Since Zhou Jingsong wanted to buy a house, she stopped asking.

She had heard from her father that Zhou Jingsong used to be a soldier under him, but he was injured during his first mission. The attending physician said his leg was beyond saving, so he retired from the army without saying a word.

I mainly didn't want to cause trouble for the organization.

However, Xu Qinghuan still asked her father about Zhou Jingsong's character and family background.

"He's not highly educated, only graduated from junior high school, but his character is impeccable. His family has been poor farmers for three generations. He has an older sister and brother, and a younger brother. His family is from Dong Province."

Zhou Jingsong was a great help when Jiang Xingye bought those five arcade buildings.

In the book, Zhou Jingsong, like Luo Jinhao, is one of his two capable subordinates, one in charge of production and the other in charge of sales.

Zhou Jingsong used the same methods he employed in the military to manage production, and they worked exceptionally well.

Right now, Jiang Xingye himself also needs to buy a house. He inquired about a piece of land, a row of street-facing shops in the eastern part of the city, with an additional floor upstairs, a total of five rooms in the row, and he plans to buy it.

The storefront is owned by a pharmaceutical factory. After trying for half a year, the factory still refused to sell the property, mainly because no one dared to make the decision.

Although the policy has been relaxed to allow private operation, who knows if the policy will revert back to its original state?

Xu Qinghuan took out the formula for a low-end version of the beauty pills and traded it with the pharmaceutical factory for this row of storefronts.

The beauty pills were once all the rage in Yancheng. Later, Xu Qinghuan gave three pills to Jiang Nanyin's elementary school teacher, and the butcher-like teacher eventually transformed into Xi Shi.

Xu Qinghuan used three more courses of medication to cure Hu Zhangchun's father's chronic illness.

Xu Qinghuan was known in the surrounding area as a "miracle doctor".

After the pharmaceutical factory conducted its investigation, it agreed to Jiang Xingye's request. Once they obtained the beauty pills, they transferred the property rights of that row of storefronts.

Jiang Xingye found another small courtyard nearby, right next to Song Wanlin's original courtyard. The owner was originally a petty bourgeois who had just returned to the city and dared not stay in China. He was going to Hong Kong to stay with relatives and sold the house cheaply.

It cost more than 1,300 yuan.

It's much smaller than the second-hand house Xu Qinghuan bought before, but the house price is indeed slowly rising now.

At the end of the year, news of Xiaogang Village implementing the household contract responsibility system (the "big contract system"), where "land is distributed to individual households and profits and losses are borne by the households," was everywhere, with the news being broadcast repeatedly from radio to newspapers.

In the last week before the New Year, a major conference set the tone for reform and development.

Xu Qinghuan originally thought that Jiang Xingye would go to Dong Province again during the winter vacation, but unexpectedly he stayed at home and began to renovate the five storefronts and customized a lot of shelves.

Jian Jingchuan got him a decommissioned Jeep from the army for over three thousand yuan. Jiang Xingye spent his days modifying and refurbishing it, and also managed to get a driver's license. The Jiang family became one of the first car owners.

 There are only two more days until the story is finished. Enjoy reading, my darlings!
