Chapter 751: 767: Here it comes Chapter 751: 767: Here it comes
Zhou's mother and Zhou Huaishan came back from Zhou Datian's house and told Li Qiuyue that as long as the village's fields were not divided up, they were willing to accept them. They also said that they could start cultivating the barren mountain land that no one wanted in the village, and they would not have to pay public grain or agricultural taxes for the first three years.

After hearing this, Li Qiuyue thought that if they had the ability, it would be better for them to make snacks and sell them. The next day, the couple went to Ning'an again and explained all the interests to Li Qiuxia and her husband.

After discussing it, the couple decided to stay and try making and selling fried potatoes, cold noodles, and jelly.

Li Qiuxia decided to finish the work at the hotel and went to see how the snack vendors greeted customers.
Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Li Qiuyue said to them, "Tomorrow we are going to Sancha Road to collect truffles. When my brother-in-law's leg is healed, we will be back soon. You can set up the snack stand for a while before deciding whether to go back and relocate your household registration."

Li Qiuxia and her husband readily agreed.

Early in the morning on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Huairong and his two brothers put their luggage in the tractor bucket. Zhao Huifang and her two sisters-in-law stood by and told the children that school would start after the Chinese New Year, so they should finish their homework quickly, listen to the adults at home, and not go to the river to play...

Several children felt that their ears were callused from hearing these words every time they went out, but they still kept saying “hmmmm!”

This time, Xu Laosan sent Zhou Huaishan's family of four to Sancha Road, Zhou Yiding sent Zhou Datian's family of four and Secretary Xu's family of three to the collection point they were responsible for.

There is only one month left, and the number of truffles will decrease. When the strike ends, everyone will plant corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes...

Secretary Xu waited for Zhou Huaian to come out, then smiled and said to him, "Youngest brother, after you left on the fifth day of the New Year, I followed the second brother and the people from the power station to visit Doctor Xiao Wang. I didn't understand what they said, but I only heard from the second brother that Doctor Xiao Wang agreed to buy shares."

Zhou Huaian: "I haven't spoken to Wang Zhen yet, so I don't understand what he said. I will do whatever he says when the time comes."

"Right! We just listen to those who are capable." Secretary Xu paused and whispered, "The second brother told me that money will become less and less in the future. Putting it in the bank to earn interest is not a long-term plan. It is a sure win to invest in power stations.

The youngest one did well in the army. After he retired, he no longer had to worry about finding a job. I bought him two houses in the county. The three older ones didn’t have much of a future, so investing in the hydropower station was a way for them to make money.”

"Uncle Xu, Third Brother Xu and his family are blessed to have an old man like you." Zhou Huaian looked at him and thought of the elders in his own family. He felt that most parents were like them, always caring about their children.

But there are also parents like Sansao's family and Gao's family, who treat their children as mules and horses to make money.

"I have to thank you very much, otherwise how would I get the money to buy these for them." Secretary Xu patted him on the shoulder, "Youngest and second oldest also praised you for being loyal and righteous. Uncle was right about you."
