I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Uncle, when are we going back to the Yang residence today? If you're not in such a hurry to go back today, I'd like to do something here.

Haha! Have you come up with some new ideas to sell on Shenglong Street? By the way, you could try making those mooncakes for everyone to try.

Uncle, weren't you very opposed to me making these mooncakes just now? Why are you suddenly bringing it up again?

Haha! Of course, I suddenly realized it! It would be foolish not to make money when it's available. Before, I thought it was a bit too early to start making and selling mooncakes now?

Uncle, do you know the saying "seize the market"? Yes! Starting to make and sell mooncakes now is a bit too early! But if we follow the crowd, not many people will buy our mooncakes, and we'll have many more competitors for no reason.

I've been thinking about this issue lately! I always want to be one step ahead and seize the market first, and I also want to bring some unusual and quirky things to our Shenglong Street.

Uncle, didn't you tell me before that you wanted to get some popcorn to buy on Shenglong Street? But when I came to Shenglong Street today, I didn't see a single shop selling popcorn.

Haha! I once took some corn from the farmland and tried to stir-fry it in oil like you did, but the corn actually burned in the oil!

Zhuzhu, how did you turn ordinary corn kernels into popcorn? Now we have plenty of time, could you teach your uncle?

Haha! The corn I use to make popcorn isn't just any ordinary corn! It's special popcorn corn! If you want some, I'll give you some right now.

Originally, I wanted to invite the local folks to watch a free movie so we could sell some popcorn to them while the movie was playing.

Zhuzhu, why don't you charge the villagers for watching the movies? Wouldn't that make you more money? And how much are you planning to sell a bucket of popcorn for?

Is it one or two cents or three cents now? Zhuzhu, don't you think we're losing out on something that's a little too much?

You raised this question! It's not that I haven't considered it! But Uncle, do you think ordinary people can afford to spend a lot of money to see a movie these days?

When Mu Long heard what Zhu Zhu said, he shook his head. They were already struggling to make ends meet, so how could they possibly afford to spend money to watch a movie?

Besides, the brigade headquarters would show a free movie for the villagers on every important holiday. That's why I didn't want to show movies to the villagers.

Now I'm considering whether my previous actions were right or wrong! Before, I was always thinking about how to benefit ordinary people, but I never really thought about how to make money.

Uncle, have you ever heard of kulaks? Haven't we ever had denunciation meetings around us?

Of course! These things happen all the time around us. Why did you suddenly ask this question?

A few days ago, when I was with some of my close friends, we heard that there was a family in a nearby village who practiced kulaks (wealthy peasants). The head of this family was often dragged to public denunciation meetings, and villagers would frequently come to their house to demand food.

Upon hearing this, Zhuzhu couldn't help but recall that in her previous life, Jianmei had married into a family with rich peasant backgrounds. Her brother-in-law had told her that his grandfather was frequently subjected to public denunciation meetings.

What's even worse is that on one occasion, the entire village forced their family to contribute money to build a small bridge. If they disagreed, they would be subjected to a public denunciation meeting.

Grandma, does our family have elements of kulaks (wealthy peasants)? Will our family be dragged to a denunciation meeting like theirs?

Hehe! Zhuzhu, what are you thinking about all day long? Those villagers won't dare to arrest us and have us denounced. And with school starting, I think it's time to drag this little girl into the classroom.

That way you won't have to overthink things all day long! Have you considered going to your maternal grandmother's school after autumn?

Hey! Uncle, why did you suddenly change the subject? Don't you want to answer my question?

Hey! How did you, little one, see right through my little schemes? Zhuzhu, I can't answer your question right now.

I'll tell you slowly when there's a suitable opportunity! You really need to consider where you'll be studying in the second half of the year.

Uncle, have you ever considered opening a school on Longsheng Street? Let me tell you, schools will be a very lucrative business for the next 40 years!

How can we establish our own school when we don't have any teachers around us who know how to teach?

Haha! Uncle, what do you think of me? I'll tell you a little secret! My biggest wish is to become a teacher when I grow up. How proud I would be!

My adorable chubby boy, you haven't even gone to school yet! How could you possibly become a teacher and educate people in a school?

She can teach little kids how to bake a big duck egg to take home! (She got a spanking from her dad and mom.)

Yang Jianlin, what are you doing here? I just realized it's been over ten days since I last saw you! Where have you been gallivanting off to?

Haha! Little Fatty, you really care about your older brother, don't you? I haven't been home for over ten days and you didn't even know?

Hehe! To be honest, I've been really happy while you've been away! Because no one is thinking about how to bully me all day long.

Do you know why I haven't been home these past few days? Little Fatty, why do you hate me so much?

Brother, would you like someone who bullies you all the time? Everyone wants to be recognized and liked by others! Of course, you'd stay away from those who don't like you!

Really? Uncle, what are you planning to do with all this white sugar? What will I do if I use it all up?

She lowered her head in disappointment. Zhuzhu felt very sad seeing Jianmei's dejected look, so she hugged Jianmei in her arms.

Please don't be so sad and upset, okay? We all love you; you're our source of joy!

Sister-in-law! I know myself very well! Please don't try to comfort me with so many nice words!

Zhuzhu, didn't you just ask me if our Longsheng Hotel has any white sugar? Now I remember that the manager ordered someone to bring in a batch of white sugar a few days ago to stock up.

Really? Uncle, what are you planning to do with all this white sugar? What will I do if I use it all up?
