Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Liu Yutian slowed his pace and casually took out a hand-rolled cigarette from his pocket.

"What's going on?"

"Dad, I've thought of a way to make money."

Liu Yutian was taken aback.

"You're out of money? I have some at home, I'll get it for you when we get back."

Recently, Liu Jia and Guo Xiaoyan have been frequently traveling to the city, which inevitably leads to some expenses, so it's normal that they don't have enough money.

Therefore, when Liu Jia mentioned money, Liu Yutian instinctively felt that Liu Jia had spent it and incurred a deficit.

"Dad, you've got it wrong. I'm talking about ways to make money."

To prevent Liu Yutian from overthinking, Liu Jia added another sentence.

"I've been thinking about how to make money these past few days, and I've come up with a method that I think I can give it a try."

Hearing Liu Jia say this, Liu Yutian's face also showed curiosity, and he simply put the cigarette he had just taken out back into his pocket.

Seeing that they had arrived at their doorstep, Liu Yutian handed the shovel in his hand to Liu Jia.

"Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Row."

Liu Jia answered readily, and carrying a shovel, he went into the house with Liu Yutian.

Liu Yutian scooped up some cold water and drank it as soon as he entered the room.

Liu Jia placed the shovel against the south wall, and then took out two small stools.

After Liu Yutian finished drinking the water, the father and son sat up facing each other.

"You just said you had a method, what was it?"

Before Liu Jia could speak, Liu Yutian suddenly added solemnly.

"Sanzi, let me give you a heads-up: you can make money, but don't take the wrong path. We Liu family don't tolerate crooked ways!"

Liu Jia nodded in agreement.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm talking about legitimate ways. Not only do I want to make money, but I also want our whole village to make money!"

Liu Jia's words stunned Liu Yutian.

This kid has quite the nerve!

Whether he can make money is another matter, but he just opened his mouth and brought the whole village along!

Although somewhat relieved, Liu Yutian's eyes still betrayed his worry.

"Then tell me, what kind of approach do you take?"

"We'll use everything related to bamboo, from baskets and hampers to mats!"

Liu Yutian didn't speak, but the image of that bamboo grove flashed through his mind.

“Other things need to be learned, but weaving baskets and mats is something everyone in our village can do. There’s no need to teach them. If we can open up the market, we’ll definitely be able to go far.”

Liu Jia's expression was firm, and he kept looking at Liu Yutian as he spoke.

Liu Yutian pondered.

"What you said is true. Anyone can weave a basket or something."

"Yes, nowadays people take bamboo baskets to the street to exchange for things, and they can get quite a lot in return."

Liu Jia became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice rose considerably.

"So I thought, I'll buy all the things in our house and then sell them in big cities!"

Just as he got to the point, Liu Yutian suddenly became agitated, shaking his head like a rattle-drum.

"No way! If you get caught, our family will be finished!"

"What you're doing is speculation and profiteering, which is illegal!"

Liu Jia was both amused and exasperated, but patiently explained to Liu Yutian.

"Dad, this is doing business, it's not the same as speculation!"

"But you can't do things that aren't your proper job!"

Liu Yutian had a stubborn look on his face, so stubborn that not even a few oxen could pull him back.

Liu Jia knew his father's temperament very well.

If you argue with him at this point, it will definitely end badly.

However, Liu Jia was somewhat unwilling to accept that his idea of ​​making money, which he had been pondering for so long, had been rejected.

But you can't exactly tell him that in two years, this kind of phenomenon will be everywhere in the city, can you?

Without evidence or proof, no one will believe what you say.

The reason Liu Jia wanted to seize this opportunity was because he was thinking about the phenomena he encountered after moving to the city in his previous life.

Just as he was worrying, Guo Xiaoyan suddenly came over.

"Dad, there's a big market at the commune right now, and a lot of people are going there to trade things. It's not illegal."

"That's the same as taking our things and exchanging them for salt or vinegar."

"Liu Jia's approach is simply to expand the scale."

Guo Xiaoyan spoke softly and calmly.

Liu Jia felt somewhat surprised.

Guo Xiaoyan has always looked down on herself because of her city background. She always felt like a country bumpkin who toils in the fields. Why is she speaking up for her now?

Although Liu Jia didn't understand Guo Xiaoyan's intentions, he still nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's what I mean, Dad. Let me finish. I'm going to collect these things and not sell them myself, but sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative so they can buy our stuff."

When the supply and marketing cooperative was mentioned, Liu Yutian's expression finally softened a bit.

Guo Xiaoyan was also stunned.

I just thought Liu Jia just wanted to cause some trouble, so I spoke up for him.

Unexpectedly, the partner he thought of was the supply and marketing cooperative!

Liu Yutian slowly turned his head.

"You mean, let the supply and marketing cooperatives sell our products? Would they even be interested? Would they be willing to pay for them?"

"As long as our quality is good and we have a market, they will naturally be willing to sell to us. This way, they can make money and improve our lives at the same time. It's like killing two birds with one stone!"

Liu Jia laughed as he spoke.

Guo Xiaoyan looked Liu Jia in front of her again and felt that he was somewhat unfamiliar.

Liu Jia's smile was full of confidence, which was completely different from her previous fawning expression.

Originally, he planned to say a few words in support and then return to the north room, but Guo Xiaoyan became more and more curious.

Finally, we simply stood under the locust tree and listened together.

Listening to Liu Jia talk about the upcoming plans, which included conducting investigations and discussing specifications, I realized that Liu Jia was also involved in research.

Guo Xiaoyan even heard Liu Jia talk about how to connect with the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Let's get a few samples first. If they like them, we'll start mass production."

“I think Li Zhenhe has a say in procurement.”

Li Zhenhe is a purchasing agent for the supply and marketing cooperative, and I want to do sales. Isn't this a perfect match?

Liu Yutian had eaten with Li Zhenhe, so he naturally knew of such a person.

Li Zhenhe's profession seems quite suitable.

After listening to his son's long explanation, Liu Yutian felt that Liu Jia was truly concerned about this matter.

"I was thinking of going big and opening a factory, and then we'd sign a contract with them!"

Liu Yutian could no longer sit still and stood up abruptly.

"Didn't you say you were going to sell things? How did it turn into opening a factory?"

“Only by opening a factory can you produce in large quantities. If every household comes to collect the waste, that’s a small workshop, and it’s not a proper business.”

Guo Xiaoyan secretly gasped.

Liu Jia, you have such a big heart, you're really wild!

After Liu Jia stopped speaking, everyone fell silent.

However, Liu Jia could tell that both Guo Xiaoyan and Liu Yutian were deep in thought.

"Father, Mother, is Sanzi home? I heard he had a fight with Aunt Zhang today?"

A series of footsteps approached, and then Liu Jia saw his elder brother, Liu Xinguo.

Behind Liu Xinguo was his sister-in-law, Qin Chunyan.

Seeing the two of them approach, Liu Jia grinned.

"Brother, how did you hear that? Didn't you guys skip work today?"

Today is Liu Xinguo's father-in-law's birthday, and his elder brother and sister-in-law also had a day off.

But Liu Xinguo only rested for one day, and as soon as he returned to the village, he heard news that shocked him to death.

Liu Jia got into a fight with Zhang Dalaba.

Liu Jia and Guo Xiaoyan have divorced.
