70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 650 Preparing for the Supply and Marketing Cooperative

Chen Qing knew Wang Wenming.

A child who loves to give Xiaoyu local specialties.

Grandpa Wang was He Yuxiang's farming mentor.

He Yuan asked, "Is it far?"

Xiaoyu nodded weakly: "It's a bit far. It takes me an hour and a half to cycle there."

He Yuan asked about the specific location. The road to Wangjia Village was all main roads, so the safety level was relatively high. He then looked at He Yuxiang and asked, "Do you want to go?"

He Yuxiang's eyebrows twitched slightly as he slowly looked at his uncle. Due to overworking his brain while studying chemistry, he looked tired, with his eyes narrowed at the corners, appearing listless. After a moment of reaction, he asked blankly, "Me?"

He Yuan glanced at it, a slight smile playing on his lips, and nodded gently: "Yes, it's not good to stay cooped up at home all the time."

Chen Qing glanced sideways, not expecting that Comrade He Yuan also had the common problem of parents, seeing his child staying in the room all day, he would urge the child to go out more.

He Yuxiang's mind gradually cleared: "Double harvesting is tiring and there's no benefit to it, so I don't really want to go."

Xiao Yu disagreed and began to argue her point: "There are many benefits to the double harvest! We can help Wang Wenming, so he won't have to work so hard, and he can go to the countryside to broaden his horizons. Things like catching cicadas, collecting bird eggs, gathering snails, and raising crickets are things we've never tried before!"

He Yuxiang sealed the victory with a single sentence: "The leeches will suck your blood later."

The hall fell silent instantly.

Even the two little ones sitting close together in the stroller obediently placed their hands in front of them, their big eyes looking at their older brother with a blank and helpless expression.

Seeing his sister was furious, He Yuxiang took pity on her and said, "Go ahead, I'll go and persuade Mao Mao to keep you company tonight."

Xiaoyu: "I can say it myself!"

He Yuxiang: "Then you go and say it yourself."

Xiaoyu was so angry with her brother that she ate her rice frantically.

He Yuxiang noticed his uncle looking at him and awkwardly explained, "I'll be going out for a bit."

He Yuan: "You're being a bit too impatient right now. When you learn something new, you get anxious if you don't achieve your goals in a short time. Labor changes your mindset. I think you should try living like a farmer and experience the most down-to-earth life. Many things can't be rushed. Being too hasty can lead to disaster."

He Yuxiang's eyelashes drooped, and he blinked, a hint of confusion in his dark pupils.

He studied chemistry to learn how to make plastics, but there was still a long way to go before he could actually make plastics. The chemistry knowledge he learned did not generate any profit, which was worlds apart from the money he could make from typing. He wanted to give up chemistry, but he felt that his aunt and uncle had spent a lot of money to send him to school, and it would be unfair to them if he gave up halfway. He gritted his teeth and continued to study, but the results were not significant. Was he too eager to learn?
"Will harvesting rice really improve the situation?"

"Perhaps you can give it a try. If you can get high work points during the double harvest, it can be considered as mastering a skill, so it's not a loss."

"Okay, I'll try it."

He Yuxiang felt that it was only twenty days, so giving it a try wouldn't be a big problem.

Even if we really gain nothing, it would still be a firsthand experience of the most difficult period for rural people.

In the evening, Xiaoyu made plans to go to the countryside with Mao Mao.

Mao Jianguo strongly supports this!
Mao Mao had no objection, since he was used to being lazy anyway: "Shall the three of us ride bicycles to the countryside? Should we ask Ai Jiao Hu and Xiao He? That way, we can each carry one, and we'll have company along the way."

"Okay, okay."

Xiaoyu cheered up.

After she got home, she made an appointment with Dwarf Tiger, who reluctantly agreed. The next day, Xiaoyu went with her aunt to the clothing factory to find Sister Xiaohe and asked her to go to the countryside to help Wang Wenming with the double harvest. Yang Yihe asked, "What do we need to prepare? Gloves and rain boots? Should the sleeves be long or short? Because I seem to have heard that it's easy to get itchy when harvesting rice."

"Huh?" Xiao Yu was really surprised: "I'll go ask Grandpa Wang."

"let's go together."

Yang Yihe sat on the back of Xiaoyu's bicycle and was driven by Xiaoyu to Wang Wenming's house.

Wang Wenming warmly welcomed his friend, "Xiaoyu, come here, I'll give you some taro."

"Okay." Xiaoyu parked her bicycle in front of his house.

Grandpa Wang stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the bicycle and examining it. What a precious child must have been to tinker with this thing!

"Xiaoyu, do your aunt and uncle agree to you going to work in the countryside?"

“Agreed. My aunt’s husband also asked my brother to go, and I also invited three other friends. We all work very quickly.” Xiaoyu took the taro from Wang Wenming, peeled it, and took a small bite. The taro was soft and sticky.

Grandpa Wang was flattered and laughed, "That's fine, come to my place, we'll provide you with food, and I'll give you some more grain later."

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Wang. I'd like to ask what preparations are needed to harvest rice in the countryside?"

"Get ready?" Grandpa Wang thought that the educated youth were too delicate to do manual labor, and these children were all pampered and would definitely get tired more easily: "Straw hats, long pants, work gloves if you have them at home, rain boots too, and remember to bring a water bottle."

"Ok."

Xiaoyu felt that what Sister Xiaohe said was not wrong.

She and Wang Wenming agreed to meet the next day, and then she and Sister Xiaohe went home to prepare.

Grandpa Wang said to his grandson, "When you take your friend back to your hometown, remember to take good care of him."

"I know."

Wang Wenming smiled sheepishly.

Grandpa Wang patted his grandson's head, thinking that these little kids would only play for a couple of days, not actually work for twenty days, otherwise their families would feel sorry for them: "I'll go buy some mung beans and make you some mung bean soup."

While Grandpa Wang was preparing things for the children, Chen Qing was also preparing for a new project.

Because today's big companies are essentially independent small communities.

Everything from factory areas and workshops to auditoriums, grocery stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, schools for employees' children, staff hospitals, and nurseries was provided to meet the needs of employees and their families.

Chen Qing is currently preparing to establish a supply and marketing cooperative, and the establishment of such a cooperative depends on whether there are any nearby.

The Third Garment Factory is 1.3 kilometers away from the nearest supply and marketing cooperative, which is neither too far nor too close. It's just the right distance for shopping. However, it's almost 2 kilometers from the gate of the Summer Sports Garment Factory. It's not far, but it's not close either. If you walk there and back with a bottle of soy sauce, your lunch break will be ruined.

The workers didn't complain about the minor inconveniences in their lives, but after Chen Qing specifically went to understand their needs, he still wanted to make improvements.

Especially since garment factories have a large number of female employees, it's really inconvenient for them to go too far to buy things.

Chen Qing made a special appointment with Director Wang, who was in charge of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city, to meet in his office.

Director Wang greeted Chen Qing politely: "I've long admired your name, Factory Director Chen."

"You flatter me. We're just a small garment factory. We'll have to rely on your help in the future." Chen Qing looked at his short and chubby appearance and figured that his workplace must be very lucrative.
