Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

After Huang Dajun finished speaking, he glanced at the mess he had made of the room, chuckled, kicked open the door, and left.

The door slammed shut, and Bai Jing jumped again.

"Old Jiang, what should we do?!"

Jiang Dayou's eyes flashed with hatred as he glared at her. "Isn't it all because of you!"

After yelling, he kicked the door open and left.

It took Bai Jing a while to react. She shouted at the door, "Why are you blaming me again? Who did I do this for?"

There was no sound at the door, and the neighbors outside were peeking inside.

Bai Jing sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) in anger, looking at the mess in the room, and picked up a piece of clothing and threw it down as well.

After Huang Dajun left, he strolled home.

When I got home, the stove and pots were cold and the house was empty. I went into the room.

Mother lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), while Father leaned against it, smoking.

"Why didn't you cook?" he asked.

"Where's the money?" His mother looked up at him. "All you do is gamble all day. Instead of going out to find a job and earn money, you still want to eat? What are you going to eat?"

Huang Dajun's father silently smoked without saying a word.

Surprisingly, Huang Dajun wasn't angry. He pulled up a stool and said, "I have a way to make money. Would you like to hear about it?"

His mother immediately perked up, got up and came closer, "What method?"

Huang Dajun spoke to them quietly for a while before straightening up, taking his father's cigarette and smoking it.

His father sat back a little. "No, no, this is unacceptable. We can't afford to lose face like that!"

"Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough?" his mother protested. "I think that's enough!"

Huang Dajun simply told them that if they were willing, he would leave them some money; if they weren't, he could do it himself.

"Alright, you can discuss it yourselves. If you want to make a fortune, do as I say. I'm leaving."

Where are you going?

"Let's find somewhere to eat! If you're not going to eat, I am!"

"This..." His mother was speechless, looking at her husband, "He actually went out to eat by himself?"

"You still want to come along? Dream on! Go cook!"

Mrs. Huang got up, put on her shoes, and said, "We really owe you, the Huang family!"

Two days later, after Huang Liping had put the child to sleep, she started playing with matchboxes.

Voices came from outside the door, "Oh, that room! Who are you to her?"

"We are her parents!"

"Hey! You've finally arrived. It's so hard for her to raise the child alone. Come on in! She's inside!"

Huang Liping was stunned. It was her parents' voices, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

The door opened, "Liping?"

Huang Liping looked towards the door, tears blurring her vision. She turned around and, after a long while, finally managed to call out, "Mom..."

No parent doesn't love their child; it's just that sometimes, it depends on how much importance the child places on their heart.

In the past, I fed him a bite of food, for my son's sake.

Now, it's all about money!

However, looking at her grandson sleeping soundly on the kang (a heated brick bed), the old lady's eyes still reddened.

"Liping, Mom has thought it through. Come home with Mom!"

Mr. Huang nodded, "Let's go home!"

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the neighbors, Huang Liping, carrying her child, moved back home with her parents.

She thought her parents still loved her.

She believed that she would always be their daughter.

She thought...

But after she got home and heard what her mother said, she realized that everything she had thought was just her own assumption…

She was always just a tool for them to make money.

Looking at the child still fast asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed), Huang Liping nodded, "Okay, I understand!"

……

Jiang Sen, carrying eggs and a basket of vegetables, went to the company with Yingzi after returning from the market.

No matter how capable Wang Jianguo is, he still has to take on the role of general manager.

He can't be like Luo Jianshe and Wang Haiyang, truly becoming a hands-off manager.

Moreover, he was also worried about the old cripple on the farm.

After looking around, I noticed that the employees were all working very diligently.

All sorts of reports were delivered to Wang Jianguo's desk. He organized them and showed them to Jiang Sen.

"Look, based on the supply of mountain products, mushrooms and wood ear fungus are the most popular. As for nuts, there are hazelnuts, pine nuts, and clams... haha, I'm used to saying it, sunflower seeds are in increasing demand. With the New Year approaching, everyone likes to buy more. Although there are sunflower seeds from other places sold in the market, none of them are as good as those from Beidahuang."

Jiang Sen knew all this long ago, and so did he.

Every few days, we need to eat dishes like mushroom stewed with chicken or stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with meat.

Now that Chinese cabbage is cheap and readily available, and stir-fried cabbage with wood ear mushrooms is affordable for many families, demand is increasing.

“Then we’ll increase the purchase volume!” Jiang Sen said. “I’ll talk to the farm later. We need other things too. Even if they’re a bit more expensive in winter, dried vegetables are very popular.”

"Okay!" Wang Jianguo replied, and continued, "This is the transaction record for the past few days."

Jiang Sen glanced at it and saw that the daily turnover was basically the same, and there wasn't much money left over at the end of the month, so he put it aside.

Wang Jianguo said, "I didn't expect the company to get on track so quickly. I was just about to discuss with you whether to continue operating in agricultural and sideline products, or to start expanding the business scope further?"

Jiang Sen thought for a moment.

This was mentioned in Wang Jianguo's previous company plan.

Two directions.

One option is to continue operating agricultural and sideline products, gradually expanding outwards from the Beidahuang supply base.

For example, one could purchase Sichuan peppercorns from Gansu and Sichuan and supply them to Northeast China and other provinces that do not produce Sichuan peppercorns.

There are also fruits, seafood, and other local specialties.

The second is to focus on the operation of agricultural and sideline products and carry out trial operations in the secondary industry.

For example, clothing, furniture, and the like.

Jiang Sen felt that while adding a business item, it would be better to expand the variety of agricultural and sideline products.

However, it will significantly increase personnel and cost expenditures, posing certain risks.

After all, fish and seafood need to be kept fresh.

You can sell frozen food in winter, but what about in summer?

Summer temperatures are high, and if not stored properly, it can easily spoil, rot, and smell bad. I don't know how much money I'll lose.

“I’ll call Jianshe over to discuss this,” Jiang Sen said. “I’ll call the farm first, and then we can go home for dinner.”

"Okay!" Wang Jianguo laughed. "Your sister-in-law cooks exceptionally well. Even if you hadn't told me, I would have gone back with you for a free meal."

Jiang Sen laughed heartily, "Go and make the arrangements. Once they're settled, we'll leave."

Wang Jianguo went out, and Jiang Sen dialed the farm's phone number.

Upon hearing Jiang Sen's voice, Bai Wenqu immediately said, "Xiao Jiang, I have something to tell you. Things have changed. The farm manager told me that if you call again, just transfer the call to him directly. Wait a minute!"

The call was transferred to Li Chaoyang's office.

"Hello, Hongqi Farm!" Li Chaoyang's voice was still steady and powerful.

"Manager, this is Jiang Sen!"

"Jiang Sen? Wait a minute!" He's probably gone to close the door. "Are you alright?"

Jiang Sen laughed and said, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

"No one has come looking for you?"

"Who's looking for me?" Jiang Sen asked, somewhat suspiciously.

"It's good that you didn't look for him. We've completed the procedures for the old cripple to return to his hometown. He'll pack his things and head to Kyoto. See if you can find him a place to stay then?"

"What? The old cripple is coming to Kyoto? Really?"

Hearing Jiang Sen's surprised voice, Li Chaoyang smiled, "Would I lie to you? Tell me, can you help me?"

"Why would I need to look for someone? You have to stay at my place!"

"Is it convenient for you and Yingzi?"

"Manager, don't even mention the old cripple, you and the team leader and squad leader can all stay here!"
