1980: I have a spiritual spring

Chapter 53 The Shock of the Su Family

When Qiao Erhe returned to the egg stall, Qiao Dajiang and Qiao Sihai had already sold almost all the eggs.

The first thing Qiao Erhe asked upon returning was, "Big brother, Sihai, have you eaten anything?"

Qiao Sihai nodded and said, "Second Brother, we've eaten. How's your business going?"

Qiao Erhe smiled and said, "It went fairly smoothly."

Since they were still selling eggs, the three brothers didn't chat much.

After more than ten minutes, all the eggs were finally sold out.

Qiao Erhe said with satisfaction, "Not bad, the eggs sold even faster today than last time."

Qiao Dajiang smiled and said, "We have a lot of regular customers today. They all say that our eggs taste better. Each person bought at least two trays of eggs, and one customer even bought four trays. They really are willing to spend money!"

Qiao Sihai took the money out of his pocket and handed it to his second brother, saying, "Second brother, this is the money from selling the eggs. Please keep it."

Qiao Erhe took the money and put it in his pocket, saying, "Alright, it's getting late, let's hurry up and catch the bus!"

Qiao Dajiang and Qiao Sihai nodded, and then the three brothers carried their empty bamboo baskets and headed to the station to catch their train.

……

in the afternoon.

The staff quarters of the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

When Su Jinxiu returned home, she heard the sound of frying eggs coming from the kitchen, and at the same time, a rich aroma of eggs wafted over, making her involuntarily take a deep breath and exclaim, "It smells so good! My mom's frying egg buns are getting better and better."

Seeing his daughter return, Su Jianguo, who was sitting on the living room sofa reading the newspaper, said, "Jinxiu, your mother said you've made a new friend who's a professional chicken farmer?"

"Yes."

Su Jinxiu nodded and asked, "Dad, is there any problem with this?"

Su Jianguo put down his newspaper and laughed, "Of course there's no problem. It's just that your mother told me that your new friend applied for a self-employed business license a long time ago. I'm curious to ask him what his name is, since I was the one who approved his business license!"

Su Jinxiu wasn't surprised to hear this. Her father was a leader in the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and he was in charge of all individual business licenses in the entire Shashi area. It was perfectly normal for him to approve Qiao Erhe's individual business license application: "His name is Qiao Erhe, Dad, do you remember him?"

Upon hearing this, Su Jianguo asked in surprise, "Jinxiu, you said your friend's name is Qiao Erhe?"

Su Jinxiu blinked, even more surprised than her father: "Yes, Dad, you really remember him?"

Su Jianguo nodded and said, "Of course I remember him, because he was the first person in Shashi to get a sole proprietorship business license. How could I not remember someone like that!"

In other words, there is no nationwide network yet, otherwise Su Jianguo would know that Qiao Erhe was not only the first person in Shashi to obtain a sole proprietorship business license, but also the first person in the whole country to obtain a sole proprietorship business license.

In his previous life, the first person in the country to obtain a sole proprietorship business license was Zhang Huamei from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. She obtained her business license on December 11, 1980. However, Qiao Erhe, after his rebirth, moved that date forward by more than a month.

In fact, under Qiao Erhe's leadership, more than a dozen individual business licenses have been issued in Shashi, subtly changing history.

Su Jinxiu hadn't expected this outcome: "What a coincidence!"

"What's such a coincidence?" asked Su's mother as she brought out dishes from the kitchen. Su Jinxiu recounted her conversation with her father to her mother, who nodded repeatedly and said, "Jinxiu, your friend is indeed very bold and intelligent. He is very knowledgeable about national and local policies. No wonder you can become friends with him."

Su Jinxiu thought of the knowledgeable Qiao Erhe and said admiringly, "He is really amazing. He doesn't look like a country person at all, especially in terms of knowledge. I am far inferior to him."

Mr. and Mrs. Su couldn't help but exchange a glance, both becoming curious about this Qiao Erhe. After all, they knew how high their daughter's standards were, and it was truly rare for her to feel inferior to a countryman.

This is not to say that Mr. and Mrs. Su had prejudices against rural people, but rather that in that era, 90% of rural people only operated within the commune and had no opportunity to see the outside world. In terms of knowledge and experience, they were truly incomparable to urban people.

Under these circumstances, Qiao Erhe's knowledge and experience surpassed even that of his daughter, which shows just how outstanding this young man was.

If they could, they would all like to meet this young comrade.

"Alright, the food is ready. You and your daughter, come and eat!"

"Okay, let's eat first, I'm starving."

"Mom, where did you put that jar of sweet glutinous rice wine? I'll bring it to you so you can have a taste."

"Let me take it!"

"..."

Two minutes later.

Looking at the tempting glutinous rice wine in the bowl, Su's mother could smell its refreshing aroma as soon as she got close. She couldn't help but pick up the bowl and take a sip.

The wine went down her throat and then turned into a warm current that spread throughout her body. Su's mother was suddenly invigorated and couldn't help but exclaim, "Good wine, really good wine! This is the best glutinous rice wine I've ever had in my life!"

Su's father usually drinks strong liquor, and he has never been interested in low-alcohol liquors like sweet rice wine, so Su's mother didn't prepare any for him when she poured the wine.

Su Jinxiu wasn't very interested in drinking, and she would only have a couple of drinks with her parents during holidays; otherwise, she basically didn't drink alcohol.

Now, hearing Su's mother's sincere praise, the father and daughter exchanged a glance and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Su Jinxiu quickly asked, "Mom, is this glutinous rice wine really that delicious?"

Mother Su said excitedly, "It's so delicious! Not only does it taste great, but after one sip, I feel warm and comfortable all over. This jar of sweet glutinous rice wine that your friend gave me is truly something special!"

Su Jinxiu couldn't help but say, "Mom, pour me some too, I want to try it."

"I'll try a sip and see if this wine is really that good."

As he spoke, Su's father picked up the bowl of wine in front of Su's mother and took a big gulp.

Then, Su's father experienced the same sensations that Su's mother had just gone through. Even he, who had drunk quite a bit of fine wine, was stunned and said incredulously, "This glutinous rice wine is truly miraculous! Not only does it leave a lingering fragrance in your mouth, but it also makes you feel like all the fatigue in your body has been swept away. It's really amazing!"

At this moment, Su's mother poured wine for her daughter. Su Jinxiu couldn't wait to take a big gulp. After feeling the changes in her body, she finally understood why her parents praised the glutinous rice wine so much.

Remembering what Qiao Erhe had said when he gave her the wine—that this sweet glutinous rice wine not only tasted amazing but also had excellent health benefits—she couldn't help but take a deep breath: "So, what you told me was all true!"
