A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1224: Become bigger and stronger, create brilliance! (Please subscribe!)
PS: The brothers all said that the plot of capturing Chunyan in yesterday's chapter was not good, so Xia Tian revised it several times in a row. The main plot was that she listened to advice, from being hit by a car, to having sex while drunk, and finally resisting temptation. Chunyan was wrapped in a quilt and thrown into the next room, leaving her to think it over after she sobered up. Brothers can read it again to connect with the subsequent plot.

The next morning, Hua Twelve brought a plate of fried pancakes and a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions to the table on the kang, and said to Qiao Chunyan who was looking at him:

"On the fourth day of the New Year, make pancakes and scrambled eggs. Eat them and go home quickly!"

Qiao Chunyan grabbed a piece of cake and started eating. After taking two bites, she suddenly stopped:

"Brother, was everything you said last night true? Are you really together with Zheng Juan?"

Hua Twelve nodded:
"Why would I lie to you? The marriage certificate is right there with Zheng Juan. Don't tell my mom about this yet. I'll tell her myself when I get back!"

Qiao Chunyan stopped talking. She seemed to have suddenly changed her personality and just ate in silence.

After a long silence, she suddenly said:

"Brother, what do you mean if I am still willing to follow you, I will help you with things?"

Hua Twelve also picked up a pancake and took a bite:
"I will never leave Zheng Juan. Even if you follow me, I can only live without a name or status. Chun Yan'er, go home and find someone you like. It would be great to live a peaceful life!"

Qiao Chunyan put down her chopsticks, her eyes slightly red but with a stubborn look:

"Brother, I've been targeting you since I was six years old."

"Do you remember that year when I fell into an ice hole and you pulled me out? From that day on, I swore a vow."

Hua Twelve actually had this part in the memory he received, so he quickly interrupted:
"Come on, forget it! It was just a small puddle that wasn't frozen solid, not even calf-deep, and you stepped into it. I had to pull you out of the way in no time. Even if I hadn't pulled you out, you would have just sat in the puddle at most, and nothing would have happened except that your clothes would have gotten wet!"

Qiao Chunyan began to wipe away tears:

"You once washed my face when we were little. You were so gentle!"

Hua Twelve thought about it and became even more speechless. He couldn't even eat the fried dough cake:
"Isn't that what happened when we were kids and we peed and played in the mud? I smeared it all over your face, but then I helped you clean it up because I was afraid your dad would come looking for me!"

Qiao Chunyan was also a little surprised: "Is that so? Why are you so disgusting? I can't even remember it!"

She wiped her face and said, "You promised to marry me when you were little. What do you think about this?"

Hua Twelve thought about it carefully, then patted his head in frustration:
"Yes, it is true. It was just to trick you into eating oranges!"

"At that time, your mother had not yet gone to work in the streets. She was in charge of the warehouse at the fruit market. You tempted us with fruits all day long. That day you took an orange and said it was so sweet. How old was I at the time? How could I bear this? If I hadn't coaxed you, how could I have eaten the orange?"

Qiao Chunyan leaned over and punched Hua Twelve across the table:
"Why were you so bad when you were a kid?"

She lowered her voice after she finished speaking:
"I know Zheng Juan is prettier and gentler than me, but I'm not bad either. I just like you. Brother, just tell me, do you still mean to ask me to help you last night?"

Hua Twelve put the pancake down and asked in a serious tone, "Are you sure? Are you willing to follow me even if you have no name or status?"

Qiao Chunyan is a person who dares to love and hate. In the original plot, when they were having dinner together on the third night of the Chinese New Year, Cao Debao told an interesting story. He said that there was a bride in his area who called the police the day after her wedding, saying that her husband had played with durian mango all night on their wedding night.
At that time, everyone was laughing so hard. What did Qiao Chunyan, the tiger woman, say? She said, "If I were the bride, I would definitely be the one playing with durian mangoes all night long!"

Then, on the same night that she fell in love with Cao Debao, she went into bed with him.

At this moment, she recognized Zhou Bingkun in front of her. She felt a little embarrassed when she heard his question and lowered her head:
"What can I do if I don't want to think about it? I don't know what happened in the past two years. You're the only thing on my mind. It's like I'm possessed."

Hua Twelve knew what she was thinking, so he expressed his thoughts:

"In that case, I'll give you two choices. One is to follow me to review your cultural knowledge. I guess the Guo family can't always be like this. There will always be a time to resume the college entrance examination. Then you can take the college entrance examination and become a college student. When you go to college and broaden your horizons, maybe you will change your mind. If you still have this mindset, we can be together again!"

"The second option is that I arrange for you to go to Hong Kong Island!"

Qiao Chunyan was confused: "Hong Kong Island? Brother, you must have been confused after sleeping. Ouch."

Hua Twelve tapped Qiao Chunyan and said:

"Look at Guoqing and Wu Qian. They get along pretty well, but where will they live if they get married? Do they have a house?"

"Can you imagine the scene where after they get married and have children, three generations of the family have to squeeze on the same kang?"

"It makes me sad just thinking about it!"

Qiao Chunyan nodded: "Brother, now that you mention it, I also think it's quite that, it's not convenient to do anything at night!"

Hua Twelve was amused by her: "You are a grown-up girl, can you please stop imagining nonsense?"

He went on to say:
"I have an idea now. I want to change the living environment of our Guangzi area so that all the old neighbors can benefit from it. But I can't do it alone. I want to build a lumber mill, make it bigger and stronger, and create brilliance!"

Qiao Chunyan's eyes lit up as she listened: "Brother, your idea is really great, so why is it wrong?"

"It's brilliant! Can you tell me the whole thing?"

Hua Twelve almost let this girl ruin her plan:
"I want to develop new products, make flooring and furniture, and go for the high-end route. However, according to the current domestic situation, it is definitely not possible to rely solely on domestic sales. I can only find ways to export and earn foreign exchange. By then, the timber factory will have to expand and recruit workers. Although the money earned cannot directly increase the workers' wages, it can be used to build staff and family buildings and change our living environment."

"So, I need someone of my own in Hong Kong Island. If you are willing, this person can be you. If you agree, I will naturally find a way to send you out legally and reasonably!"

Qiao Chunyan patted her face, which was burning with excitement:
"Brother, even though I don't understand, what you said is really good. I'm not good at studying, so I definitely can't go to college. If what you said is true, then I'll choose the second one!"

Hua Twelve nodded:
"Okay then. I'll send you home after dinner. Don't tell anyone about this. Just wait for my news. I promise to send you home within half a year!"

Qiao Chunyan nodded vigorously; "Brother, I will listen to you and I won't tell anyone!"

After the two finished chatting, they seemed to have resolved their worries and continued to eat. Qiao Chunyan was all smiles and kept serving scrambled eggs to Hua Twelve:
"Brother, eat more. I heard from my mom that scrambled eggs with green onions can improve sexual performance!"

Hua Twelve almost spit out: "Qiao Chunyan, you better learn something!"

While eating, they heard someone knocking on the door. Hua Twelve walked over and saw that it was Zhou's mother Li Suhua who came back.

He opened the door, and Li Suhua came in and poked his head in. Hua Twelve pointed inside:
"Don't look at her anymore. Chunyan is eating in the inner room. Have you eaten yet? If not, eat something quickly!"

Li Suhua smiled happily: "Mom has eaten it all at your Aunt Qiao's house!"

As she spoke she entered the main room and saw Chunyan, who was wearing only a single layer of clothes, lying on the kang. She smiled even more happily:

"Are you eating, Chunyan? You should eat more food last night."

Hua Twelve said unhappily:

"Nothing happened last night. I told Chunyan that Zheng Juan and I had registered. She drank more than a pound of liquor and slept in the big house all night. I slept in the small house by myself!"

Li Suhua was disappointed when she heard that nothing had happened. Then she heard her son say that he had registered with Zheng Juan and was surprised.

"What? You registered with Zheng Juan?"

Hua Twelve nodded; "Yes, we went to the Civil Affairs Bureau on the 29th, and the marriage certificate is with Zheng Juan. I plan to tell you later!"

Li Suhua thought about Zheng Juan. Although she was not as pleasing as Chun Yan'er, she was still pretty good. The main thing was that the matter was done and it was too late to think about anything else.

She smiled at Chunyan awkwardly:
"Then Chunyan, you should hurry home. Your mother will be worried later. It will be bad if some rumors spread!"

Hua Twelve: "."

Qiao Chunyan: “.”

This old lady is really realistic.

However, in Qiao Chunyan's eyes, Li Suhua was already her old lady, so she immediately said coquettishly:

"Aunt, why are you like this? If I can't be your daughter-in-law, can't I be your goddaughter? Can you be my godmother in the future?"

Li Suhua still liked Chunyan and thought it was a good idea, so he accepted the marriage immediately.

After dinner, Hua Twelve sent Qiao Chunyan back to her own home. When Qiao Chunyan returned home, her mother asked her how things were going. Qiao Chunyan said that she drank too much and nothing happened, which made her worried mother sigh and finally said:
"Since it didn't work, then don't tell your dad. I'm afraid he'll beat me up if he finds out!"

Qiao Chunyan pouted, you also know that you will be beaten for doing this, but think about it, my mother is also thinking about me, so I said:

"Don't worry, I won't tell you. But I want to concentrate on my work in the next two years, so don't push me to find a partner!"

Aunt Qiao also curled her lips: "What kind of job are you doing as a pedicurist?"

After Hua Shier sent Chun Yaner home, he was urged by Li Suhua to pick up Zheng Juan.

The old lady wanted to see her daughter-in-law and also wanted to see the marriage certificate.

Hua Shier rode his bike to Taiping Hutong. As soon as he entered the door, he changed his tone and called his mother-in-law "Mom", which made the old lady very happy.

The old lady had been in poor health to begin with, and in the original plot she should have died during this period. After Zheng Juan studied medicine with Hua Twelve, she took care of her mother and brother's health, and the old lady became stronger. With her current mental and physical state, it would not be a big deal for her to live another ten years.

Zheng Juan was a little nervous when she entered Zhou's house, but Li Suhua calmed her anxiety with her enthusiasm. She also changed her words and simply called her "Mom", which made Li Suhua very happy.

Upon learning that the two were planning to hold a wedding in May, the old lady agreed, and she accepted the daughter-in-law.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, all industries resumed work, and Huashier began to think about the production of new products when they got to work.

He ran to the factory director's office and discussed his idea with Xu Hongbing:
"I found that our factory's products are too monotonous, and there is still waste in the production process. For example, the wood chips and sawdust are usually thrown away. Now the timber factory in Harbin uses these production wastes to make particleboard, and the sales are very good. Old factory director, do you think we can learn from their advanced experience?"

"In addition, I think since we have the advantage of board materials, we can set up a subordinate furniture factory, be self-sufficient in materials, and I can provide novel design solutions for furniture!"

After listening to this, Xu Hongbing shook his head:
"Xiao Zhou, what you said makes a lot of sense, and it sounds good to me, but where is the money?"

"Have you ever thought about it? To produce new boards or to make furniture, which one does not require the introduction of new machines? Where does the money come from?"

Hua Shier took out a cigarette and handed one to Xu Hongbing:
"We can apply for it. I don't think they will approve the furniture project, but there are successful cases in neighboring provinces for particle board, so this one should be approved. As long as we succeed in the board project, the money we earn will be unplanned income for our factory, and we can use it to invest in building a furniture factory!"

Xu Hongbing looked confused and took a few puffs of his cigarette before saying:
"Xiao Zhou, I'm going to retire at the end of the year. Who will take the responsibility if something goes wrong at this critical moment? You? You've only worked for a few years. Can you handle it?"

"I think we should just forget about this matter. It's good enough now. We can complete the production task for the Guo family and pay our workers. This is already an achievement!"

Hua Shier complained in his heart, that was a planned economy, what achievements have you made? This old man is really just sitting there doing nothing, he doesn't have any positive attitude at all. No wonder the sawmill went bankrupt in the future, and Sun Ganchao, Xiao Guoqing and others had to do hard labor on the streets. It seems the root of the problem lies with this old man.

He wanted to persuade her again, but the old man waved his hand:

"Xiao Zhou, you don't need to say anything more. I know you want to make progress and achieve results. Then wait until I retire and the next factory manager takes over, then you can discuss it with him!"

Hua Shier finished smoking a cigarette and said goodbye and left the factory director's office because he knew it was useless to continue discussing it.

It's only February now, he can't wait until the end of the year.

Since the old man said he would wait until he retires, let the old factory director retire early. These two days won’t make a difference anyway.

Anyway, no one can stand in his way!
Two days later, Director Xu fell ill. Although the illness was not serious, he had diarrhea every day and could no longer go to work. The old man talked to his superiors and decided to retire early.

Hua Shier thought this was a wise move. Maybe his illness would be cured once he retired!
Sure enough, in early March, the old man officially retired, and the next day he felt better in his stomach, which puzzled him.

Hua Shier: As a biologist, I am very good at making friends with various bacteria, such as E. coli. Hmm, why does it sound a bit disgusting?

While waiting for their superiors to appoint a new factory director, the Zhou family received a letter from Zhou Zhigang.

In the letter, Zhou Zhigang said that he had returned to the mountain city and asked his family not to worry. He also said that he had seen the letter Hua Twelve wrote to him years ago and learned that Zhou's mother was ill. He praised Hua Twelve for handling the situation very well and ensuring that Zhou's mother received timely treatment. As an old father, he was very pleased and felt that his youngest son had grown up and was able to set up his own household.

He also said that the matter was over and let it go. He had met Feng Huacheng and found him to be an honest man who was sincere in his attitude towards love and family. He had forgiven Zhou Rong and accepted Feng Huacheng as his son-in-law.

Zhou Zhigang said that he could tell from Hua Twelve's words that he had a lot of opinions about Feng Huacheng. He advised Hua Twelve to open his mind and not dwell on the past. Family members should love each other and only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous.

Hua Shier read the letter word for word to Li Suhua, who smiled:
"Look, your dad said Feng Huacheng is a good man. He will be your brother-in-law from now on. You can't act like a donkey and get into trouble with your sister anymore!"

Hua Shier felt amused and did not argue. He also did not tell Li Suhua about the bad things Feng Huacheng had done. Instead, he wrote a letter directly to tell Zhou Rong that Feng Huacheng had a woman at the border!

As a result, Zhou Rong wrote back to scold him, saying that she had called the border and found out about the situation, but the other party said that there was no such thing. In the letter, she denounced Hua Twelve, saying that he was jealous of Feng Huacheng's fame and was a villain who was trying to sow discord.

Hua Twelve was speechless. I am a factory director, a worker singer, and a composer. Am I jealous of the prisoners?
He knew what was going on without having to think. Zhou Rong called to verify it. The people at the border must have been afraid of being held responsible because Feng Huacheng had done something bad during the reform period, so they covered up the matter and denied it.

Since Zhou Rong doesn't believe it, then forget it. When Feng Huacheng's child is born, he will give Zhou Rong a big gift package.

Comrades, you are all watching. It's not that he is unkind or unjust. It's you, Zhou Rong, who didn't trust your own brother and had to call to verify. After being cheated, you turned around and blamed your own brother. If something went wrong, it's your own fault. Hua Twelve was not so despicable as to remind him repeatedly.

Not long after, the new factory director appointed by the superiors arrived.

The new factory director’s surname is Wang. He is a cadre sent down from the Second Light Industry Bureau for a promotion. He is in his forties and in the prime of his life.

Hua Twelve went to talk to Director Wang about the new product, but Director Wang didn't like it:
"Deputy Director Zhou, I've heard of your name a long time ago. I heard that you're a troublemaker and you used to get into fights when you were a worker. I'm warning you, I'm your leader now, you better behave yourself, I won't tolerate any sand in my eyes!"

"Do you know what you just said? You are a Z-type. We need to strengthen the ideological construction of our workers, which is more important than any new products. Don't put the cart before the horse and do things recklessly."

Director Wang was very arrogant, and because of this temper he had offended countless people in the past. So when he was walking at night after get off work, he was hit on the back of his head with a shovel. At that time, Hua Shier was drinking with Chen, so he had a perfect alibi.

Ten days later, Director Wang retired due to illness. His case is still under investigation and there is no clue at all.

He himself could not imagine who would attack him. He had no doubts about Hua Twelve because in his opinion, a normal person would not attack him just because of a sentence, right? That would be crazy!

Hua Twelve: How normal do you think I am?

Although Director Wang's injuries were not life-threatening, his arms and legs seemed to have been unable to function properly since then. He felt unfit to continue working, so he applied for early retirement due to illness.

Of course, after he retired, his condition gradually improved, which made people feel very strange.

In the next two months, the sawmill, which had more than 300 employees, changed several factory directors. Some of them fell ill or were injured, and were eliminated one after another.

Finally, I don't know who spread the rumor that the position of factory director had bad feng shui and whoever took the position would be unlucky, so in the end no one was willing to come.

There was no other way, so the higher-ups had to let Hua Shier take the position of acting factory director and organize production, saying that he would be made a permanent employee once he achieved results.

As the 20-year-old acting factory manager, Hua Twelve once again became famous in the film industry. Whenever he walked on the street, he was greeted with envy, jealousy, and flattering looks.

Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing both said that he was lucky.

Hua Shier: I was able to become the factory director thanks to my own efforts!
Xu Hongbing and Director Wang: Yes, yes, yes!

As soon as Hua Shier took office, he began to implement his plan. What was there to be afraid of without machines? His knowledge of magic machines was not learned in vain. If there were no machines, he would just make them himself.

In his spare time, Hua Shier built his own board production line, which can produce not only particle board but also laminate flooring.

Particleboard is aimed at the domestic market, while laminate flooring is aimed at the overseas market.

After Hua Shier built the machine, he immediately assigned people to start trial production. Many people thought his behavior was nonsense, and some people even reported him to their superiors and exposed his misdeeds.

The superior immediately called Hua Twelve and asked him to explain the situation.

Hua Shier went there with his products, but was severely criticized by the leader after seeing the products. The leader said, "You are still exporting this? No foreigner would buy this thing. It's like a toad yawning, with such a big mouth."

The leader slammed the table and said, "Little comrade, don't mess around. If foreigners buy this, I will eat it right now!"

Just at this moment, a phone call came in, saying it was from the Jilin-Hong Kong Joint Venture Company, which is Jilin Province’s window company in Hong Kong.

It is said that a foreigner named Dracula was in Jichun at that time. He was the owner of a company in Hong Kong Island. He accidentally saw the floor produced by the Red Star Timber Factory and thought that there was a big market for it abroad. He planned to place a large order. All the products ordered were settled in US dollars.
The leader looked at Hua Twelve and didn't know what to say.

Hua Twelve did not speak, but silently pushed the floor sample on the desk forward.
Thanks to: 08a, Demon World Xiaoxiaohu, Jiji King 16050 brothers for their rewards, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, thank you very much.
