Chapter 764 Earn the first pot of gold by selling chickens
Jin Bao's face turned red and his heart beat faster due to Yao Hua's burning gaze and affectionate confession.
"I'm sorry," she apologized, "I shouldn't have said those unfounded words to question you just now."
Seeing her raising her head slightly, blushing and looking shy and cute, Yao Hua sighed, "Jin Bao..."
He wanted to kiss her again, hold her tightly and kiss her deeply like yesterday, feeling her trembling heartbeat, disordered breathing, and blurred eyes...
It seemed that this was the only way to prove that they were in love and that Jin Bao belonged to him alone.
No, this will scare Jin Bao.
In the end, reason prevailed over impulse, and Yao Hua only kissed Jin Bao on the forehead to express his forgiveness.
He behaved himself in the next few days, occasionally hugging Jinbao, and most of the time holding hands like they did when they were children, without making any further movements.
The two families discussed the matter of getting married and set the date on Jin Bao's 18th birthday.
During this period, people at the institute learned that Yao Hua had returned to China, and the director visited him several times.
Unable to persuade Yao Hua to go back to work immediately, he had to give in and finally agreed that Yao Hua would rest for one more week, and then he had to return to work in the research institute.
Jinbao's parents stayed in Jinghai City for seven days and met all their friends and relatives.
On the eighth day, Su Jianmin rejected the position of director of the Second Machinery Factory and took the train back to Bao'an County with his wife.
Before getting on the train, he repeatedly told Yao Hua to take good care of his daughter.
"Uncle Su, don't worry," Yao Hua promised his prospective father-in-law, "I will definitely take good care of Jin Bao."
Seeing the train start, Jinbao's eyes were red and she kept waving to her parents.
Bai Lu poked her head out and saw that Jin Bao couldn't help but run after the train. She choked and said, "Go back quickly. Mom will come to see you next year. Next year, my Jin Bao will be a beautiful bride."
Time soon came to December, and the concept of "reform and opening up" was proposed.
On New Year's Day in 1979, the People's Daily published an editorial titled "Concentrate Main Energy on Production and Construction."
On the same day, the Standing Committee issued a "Message to Compatriots in Taiwan" to stop the shelling of Greater Kinmen, Little Kinmen, Dadan, Erdan and other islands.
On the same day, China and the United States officially established diplomatic relations.
Jin Bao knows very well that the dragon that has been sleeping for decades is about to wake up, and the number of poor people will become smaller and smaller...
Some people who catch up with the tide of the times will get rich first. They are like pigs standing in the wind, able to take off even if they have no ability.
In March, due to the unique geographical conditions of Bao'an County, which is adjacent to Hong Kong and has convenient transportation, it was taken seriously by the superiors and the county was removed from the county and established as a city, and the name was changed to Shenzhen.
At this time, the special economic zone has not yet been formally established. Except for one or two old buildings, the urban area is full of messy, dilapidated black-tiled bungalows, as well as stinky ditches and pitted rubble piles.
Not to mention the rural areas further away, there are not even brick houses to be seen, all are wooden houses.
Everyone expressed their disbelief that Su Jianmin did not choose to go to Jinghai City to be the factory director, but stayed in Luohu Village, and thought he must be stupid.
Only the Su family knew that what Jin Bao said was slowly being confirmed.
Bao'an County has changed its name. This place will become a household name in the future, and every inch of land is worth a lot of money...
Su Jianmin and his wife didn't care about the matter of "every inch of land costing a fortune". They only hoped that their two children, Xiaosi and Xiaowu, would have a good future.
Compared with their three brothers, they were not born in a good time. They suffered from hunger since childhood and were so poor that they had to eat grass roots and tree bark. Xiao Wu had no choice but to be sent to the countryside.
Later, I finally returned to the city, but I didn't study for a few years, and classes were suspended every now and then... Finally, I went to the countryside, and now I don't even have a primary school diploma.
Although the main responsibility does not lie with his parents, Su Jianmin still feels that he owes them.
He is already middle-aged and old, and his career is no longer important. Xiaosi and Xiaowu are at the age when they are getting married, and it is the time when they need to make achievements the most.
However, he didn't know exactly what these two children could do, so he could only take it one step at a time.
One day in May, Su Xiaosi had just returned from the city. He ran home panting and said excitedly that he had applied for a "Transit Farming Certificate" and that from now on, the vegetables grown by their chickens and ducks could be sold in Hong Kong.
But I can only go five times a month.
Su Jianmin looked at the certificate in Xiaosi's hand, frowned and asked, "What's the benefit of selling it in Hong Kong?"
"A chicken here sells for one to one and a half yuan per pound. Do you know how much it can cost in Hong Kong?"
"How much is it?" Su Jianmin estimated in his mind, "Two yuan? Three yuan?"
"Fresh live chickens can sell for forty to one hundred! Our chickens are of good quality, maybe they can sell for one hundred and one catty. Dad, we are going to make a fortune!"
Su Jianmin was stunned. "Xiao Si, you are not being cheated, are you? Can you really go to Hong Kong to sell things with this certificate? Won't you get caught? Doesn't it count as speculation?"
"Of course not, this is our new policy here! Only those of us Shenzhen farmers who have been raising chickens and growing vegetables for a long time can apply."
At this point, Su Xiaosi raised the corners of her lips, "Thanks to Jinbao. Last time I went to the post office to call Jinbao and said I didn't know what I wanted to do in the future. She asked me to apply for the "Transit Farming Certificate".
I tried it, so I listened to her and it worked.”
The more he talked, the happier he became, "Tomorrow Xiao Wu and I will pick ten chickens to sell in Hong Kong!"
Su Jianmin was worried, "Shall I go with you?"
"No need, we are already so old and we are not children anymore. Dad, don't worry about it, just enjoy your happiness." Xiaosi said with a smile.
The next day, Su Jianmin and Bai Lu were restless.
"We should go and have a look," Bai Lu said, "will there be any problem with those two children? I'm really afraid that they will be detained in Hong Kong and will not be able to come back."
Su Xiaosi and Xiao Wu came back the next morning, and as soon as they came back they were chased and beaten by their father.
"You bastards, where did you die? Your mother didn't sleep all night, and she was scared to death by you." Su Jianmin said angrily.
"We also wanted to rush back, but it was too late, so we slept one night in a guest house in the city."
"Yes, Dad," Xiao Wu said, "We were also afraid that you would be worried, but we didn't have a phone at home. We thought we had to exchange the Hong Kong dollars for RMB, so we didn't come back until today after changing the money."
Su Jianmin calmed down and asked, "How much did you pay for the exchange? Are all the chickens sold?"
"It's sold out. Our chickens are of good quality and they have money there. The fourth brother initially offered a price of 80 per catty, and the five chickens were quickly sold out. Later, we felt that the price was too cheap, so we changed the price to 100.
One pound.
However, the Hong Kong dollar has shrunk after being converted into RMB, not as much as my fourth brother and I imagined, but still quite a lot..."
Su Xiaowu handed over the money he earned, "The total for ten chickens is 3,120 yuan."
Su Jianmin looked at the thick money in Xiao Wu's hand and swallowed. He felt that the money came too easily. What kind of chickens did they raise? Is it a gold mine?
