Five years of marriage, always separated [1970s]

Geng Benben was speechless but wanted to laugh: "Why are there so many things going on every day?"

Geng Zhiqin: "Your aunt said that if you have a pension and don't have to worry about food and drink, you should find something to do if you are bored."

Geng Benben asked Zhang Xiaodi: "Let's go there now?"

Zhang Xiaodi sighed and turned to go to the north park first.

At first, practicing Qigong did not affect my life. Now I don’t cook or take care of my children. My children who work half a day have to come back to cook. These are not a big deal. But if they are sick, they don’t go to the hospital and practice Qigong to detoxify. No one can stand such an elder.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Fan’s dirty tricks can attract so many responses.

The children's firecrackers were so effective that residents near the park to the north heard about it and bought firecrackers for their children. When Zhang arrived at the park gate, he saw his father jumping up and down with one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the ground.

Little brother Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was just like skipping rope in the countryside.

Rural people don’t have time to jump rope.

Hawthorns could no longer be kept on the trees, so Yu Wentao's brothers dug cellars to store the hawthorns. They then sold vegetables and meat in the morning, and in the afternoon they took people and made candied haws and straw baskets into the city. One of them drove a car loaded with hawthorns to sell, while several others carried straw baskets filled with hawthorns to crowded parks and attractions, while the others washed hawthorns at home and made candied haws.

The people of Yujia Village made money, and people from other villages saw it with envy. Some drove ox carts and donkey carts into the city, and villages with tractors drove tractors pulling carts into the city to sell meat.

Rural people saw old men and women in the city practicing in the park and envied their leisurely life, but no one followed suit. The elderly who could not go to the city to make money and had nothing to do did not think of following suit when they heard about it - farming was so hard during the busy farming season, and they would naturally take a good rest in the cold winter when they finally did not have to worry about the crops. So when they found out that Yu Wentao was practicing, Ye Fan did not ask Zhang Xiaoming if the villagers were addicted to practicing.

By the way, Grandpa Zhang was exhausted from chasing the naughty kids while dodging firecrackers and had to rest against a tree. When Zhang Xiaodi came over, Grandpa Zhang saw his son as if he saw a staircase and immediately told his companions that his son was back and he was going home to cook.

Zhang was surprised because his father was not obsessed with it either.

Geng Benben went to the park in front to find his sister and his aunt, and told them that Grandpa Zhang was more sensible than grandma, and that they would go home as soon as little brother Zhang called them.

Geng Zhiqin sneered, "He can't handle it!" Looking over to the distance, "Look at Aunt Li. Her grandson set off firecrackers next to her, but she would rather be blown up than open her eyes. Uncle Zhang and your grandmother did the same thing to her two days ago."

Geng Benben: "What should we do then?"

Geng Zhiqin said: "Your aunt has a solution."

Ye Fan didn't have any good solution.

The old woman went to bed early, and Aunt Li's son waited until she fell asleep before knocking on Ye Fan's door. He and his wife came to find Ye Fan and asked his mother what to do.

Yu Wentao's symptoms were mild, so Dabao and Erbao could take her home as soon as they said they were hungry. Aunt Li refused to listen and wished she could die from practicing and reach heaven sooner.

Ye Fan: "There is a way, but I'm afraid you will regret it."

Aunt Li's son asked her to speak.

Ye Fan was worried that his mother-in-law hadn't slept yet, so he whispered, "Find the children of the hopeless uncles and aunts like Aunt Li, and go to the park with buckets of water, get a few buckets of water from the lake and pour them on the ground. If the ground is covered with ice tomorrow morning, there will be no place to practice."

"What if someone else's child falls?" Aunt Li's daughter-in-law worried.

Ye Fan: "With all the noise they made, there are no children left in the park."

The couple nodded. What they said was true. Everyone was acting like crazy. The timid children didn't dare to go near the park recently.

Today is the weekend, and the couple has to go to work tomorrow and cannot stay up too late, so they quickly look for those people's children, and then go to the park with basins and buckets of water.

There were basins and buckets here and there, and even the grass was not spared. Dozens of people worked until eleven o'clock, sweating profusely, and returned home under the stars and moon, sleeping until dawn. The next morning, after they had dinner, they asked the children to play at home.

Children like to set off firecrackers, but they don’t like to do it every day. Finally, they can have a day off. All the children around Ye Fan’s house are playing in the alley. Even Dabao, who likes ice skating, has no intention of going to the park.

When the grandpa and grandma saw the children playing at home, they thought that they could practice well today without being disturbed. After crossing the road, the grandpa and grandma shouted at the entrance of the park, "Which grandson did this!"

Yu Wentao was also here today, and she suspected that it was Ye Fan's idea, because no one else could think of such a mean trick. Yu Wentao was worried that her daughter-in-law would be beaten, and then Ye Fan would be so angry that he would separate from her. Yu Wentao didn't dare to say a word, and just said, "Let's go to the north and have a look."

There is no ice in the north, but there are a group of children. Firecrackers blasted, smoke filled the air, and the grandpa and grandma were so noisy that their heads were buzzing. How could they concentrate on practicing martial arts? In the end, they all went back to their homes.

At this time, Ye Fan was reading at home. Yu Wentao came to the main room and asked, "The entrance and exit of the park are all covered with ice. Did you ask someone to do it?"

Ye Fan glanced at her calmly: "So what if it's me?"

Yu Wentao muttered: "Who dares to do anything to you?"

Ye Fan was recently very angry at her stubbornness and said unhappily, "If you don't agree, get out!"

Yu Wentao went out angrily, muttering to herself. Geng Zhiqin was also very angry with her: "What are you talking about? Is your sister-in-law bullying you? I'll tell him to talk to his sister-in-law when we visit Dad's grave in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wentao dared not complain, for fear that the old man would come to comfort her in the middle of the night.

Yu Wentao had gotten used to going out these days, so she went outside when she didn't want to stay in the yard. However, the alley was full of children, and Yu Wentao was annoyed by the noise, so she went to Aunt Li's house. Uncle Zhang was also at Aunt Li's house, and the two of them were practicing in the yard.

Little brother Zhang was lying on the wall and seeing that his father had not changed his bad habits, he went to Ye Fan's house to borrow a radio, connected the wires outside, and turned up the volume to the maximum. The neighbors on both sides were annoyed by his noise.

Aunt Li came to the door of Zhang's house and asked Zhang to keep his voice down. Zhang immediately said, "I will lock up the door if you chase my father back."

Uncle Zhang came out from behind Aunt Li and asked him where he got the radio. Little Brother Zhang looked at Yu Wentao and said, "She gave it to me."

"Hey, kid, why are you talking nonsense?" Yu Wentao took a closer look and found that the radio belonged to her family. "Did Ye Fan give it to you? What does she want to do? We are not doing anything bad. It's not okay to practice martial arts to strengthen our bodies."

Zhang thought to himself, you guys should also look in the mirror, is that practicing martial arts? Those who act crazy and stupid will have to admit defeat when they see you.

"I borrowed it from Sister Ye." Brother Zhang was an honest man. Seeing that Yu Wentao was unhappy, he returned the radio to her, then took the bus to the department store and bought a suona and a gong.

Little Brother Zhang was sitting on the wall of his house, with a suona on his waist and a gong in his hand. When he saw the three people performing the movements, Little Brother Zhang struck the gong, which scared the three people.

After five consecutive times, Yu Wentao's heart couldn't take it anymore and she had to go home to bask in the sun.

Uncle Zhang scolded little brother Zhang for being lawless. Little brother Zhang let him scold him, and since he had time to scold him, he naturally had no time to think about those crooked ways.

Aunt Li couldn't help complaining to the neighbors, and her old sisters all thought that Zhang was a troublemaker. When her children came home at noon, they said that the child of the Zhang family was not good enough.

The listeners were interested, so after the meal they went straight to the department store, some bought suonas, some bought gongs, and then secretly gave them to their children.

The old men and women are obsessed with practicing martial arts and don’t cook, and they don’t care about their grandchildren. The children can’t stand their grandparents, so they all follow the rules very seriously.

The next morning, the park was filled with the sound of gongs and drums or firecrackers. The children were tired from playing and resting, and they were distracted by the noise and had no intention of practicing. After the Little New Year, they had to prepare for the New Year, and the elderly who could not practice had to go to the market or the store.

I couldn’t go to the park during the Spring Festival when guests came to my house, but by the fifth day, after not practicing for ten days, I didn’t miss it that much.

Seeing that Yu Wentao was no longer obsessed with exorcism, Geng Zhiqin was worried that she might be thinking of other tricks, so he asked her why she stopped practicing.

Ye Fan took Dabao and Erbao to visit his uncle Geng Zhiye today. Yu Wentao took advantage of Ye Fan's inability to hear and said, "Who dares to practice if your sister-in-law doesn't allow it?" She was full of complaints when she talked about Ye Fan, "Your sister-in-law is really powerful. Every family around here listens to her." Glancing at the next door, "The eldest daughter of the Li family is a cadre in a large unit. She can order people around. I don't know how she can be so capable."

In the past, neighbors' evaluation of Ye Fan was that he was smart, but there were also a few negative comments about him, saying that he loved money - he came from such a good family but still went from door to door selling things.

Wang Aihe went too far in her actions, shouting and yelling every other day. The neighbors were worried that their children would follow her example, and that their daughters and daughters-in-law would also learn bad things from her, so they were very dissatisfied with her.

Ye Fan scared people away, and the uncles and aunts were relieved. They were also afraid of Ye Fan, and dared to feed people rat poison. Later, they learned that the rat poison bottle was full of water, and suddenly felt that she was brave, resourceful and measured, and her small shortcoming of loving money became a virtue of managing the household.

Now the uncles and aunts hate Ye Fan, but their families like Ye Fan - she has a way to deal with stubborn old men and women.

A few days ago, Zhang Xiaoming brought his wife and daughter back to celebrate the New Year. Dong Ying didn't want to stay in the cramped house, so she went outside to see Geng Zhiqin and talked to her heart-to-heart about Ye Fan. Geng Zhiqin learned from her that everyone admired Ye Fan and that everyone would support Ye Fan at this critical moment. Geng Zhiqin said, "Mom, you just found out. My sister-in-law and the neighbors have discussed it. If you continue to be so stubborn, each family will contribute a little money to find a residential plot in the countryside, build a nursing home for you, and send you there so that you won't be annoyed when you see him."

Yu Wentao's face suddenly changed with fear: "You...you...don't scare me!"

Geng Zhiqin: "If you don't believe me, you can ask the sister-in-law of the Li family next door. She also knows. As a daughter-in-law, my sister-in-law can't send you over, but if I sign and agree, do you think it's possible?"

Yu Wentao was so angry that she stood up and hit her, cursing at her for raising her up in vain.

Geng Huihui and Geng Leilei stopped Grandma from the left and right. Yu Wentao stopped and asked, "You two want to send me away too?"

Geng Huihui: "It's not that we want to. We feel bad for you not going to the hospital when you're sick, so it's better to turn a blind eye."

"When have I ever been sick and not gone to the hospital?" Yu Wentao was so angry that she jumped up and down.

Geng Huihui wanted to roll her eyes immediately. Did the old lady have Alzheimer's disease? If she hadn't done that, would her aunt have to bother with her?

Geng Huihui: "If it wasn't you who was sick and didn't take medicine, then who would it be?"

"I haven't been sick since I started practicing qigong." Yu Wentao looked aggrieved.

For the first time, Geng Huihui realized what it meant to be unable to explain something. "You've never been sick, so were you confused for a few days because you got a stitch in the side from practicing, or have you reached a state of unity between man and nature?"

The latter is impossible, and the former cannot be acknowledged. Yu Wentao pushed her grandchildren away and said, "I think you just dislike my old age and don't want to serve me, so you find so many excuses." Then she walked out.

Geng Benben looked confused, and someone asked her if she needed someone to take care of her as she was old.

Geng Zhiqin asked his nephew to sit down: "Ignore her. If she can't win the argument, she'll just cheat on us. I should have listened to your aunt and not said nonsense to her."

Geng Benben was worried and looked over to see where she was going, but she turned around and went back to her room. "I thought she was going to run away from home."

Geng Zhiqin: "Where is she going on New Year's Day? This old lady said she is brave, but she gets scared when I mention your grandfather. She said she is timid, and she just endured the fever without taking medicine."

Geng Benben asked hurriedly: "Did you really get sick? What did you do in the end?"

Geng Zhiqin: "Your aunt drove to the street health center to pick up the doctor to give her an injection, and asked Erbao to persuade her to drink more water, and then the fever went down."

Geng Benben couldn't imagine, "Why did she become like this now?"

Geng Zhiqin said, "Who knows. Your aunt said she is too idle. She is too busy to think about these things. I think so too. Look at the Zhang family. Zhang Xiaoming's mother is not a fan of qigong."

Geng Benben subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Of course, Wang Aihe was heavy, and Aunt Zhang had to buy groceries, cook, and wash clothes, and she was exhausted every day. Occasionally, she came back to see her old man on Sundays. She didn't say that she envied Uncle Zhang for having time to practice in the park, but she complained that Dong Ying's belly was not moving, and she didn't want to give birth to a child for Zhang Xiaoming. She also said that if Uncle Zhang wanted to have a grandson in this life, he would have to rely on the second son.

Zhang Xiaofen originally felt sorry for her mother's hard work in Zhang Xiaojun's family, but she had no one to talk to when she heard her mother complaining like that. One time, when she saw Geng Zhiqin outside watching Dabao and Erbao to prevent them from running onto the road, she complained to Geng Zhiqin that her mother deserved to die of exhaustion.

Geng Zhiqin recounted Aunt Zhang's experiences over the past six months and said, "Don't feel bad for your grandmother in the future. If you have any problems, go to her. I'll see if she practices or not."

Geng Benben: "What if I get sick from exhaustion?"

"She'll get sick if she stays in the park for a whole day." Geng Zhiqin really tried to persuade her mother well before. If he hadn't been unable to persuade her, he wouldn't have scared her like that just now.

Geng Benben has a question: "Is Qigong really useless?"

Geng Zhiqin: "What can I say? Any movement is better than sitting all day. If she learns from an expert, we won't stop her. But what kind of qigong is your grandma's? She just lies on the ground with her fingers pointing to the sky. You have watched a lot of movies since you were a child. Do you know that kind of kung fu? Your aunt has proved that practicing Tai Chi can strengthen the body, but she won't learn it. It would be a wonder if she learns those unconventional methods!"

Geng Huihui couldn't help but laugh when she heard that.

"What are you laughing at, sister?"

Geng Huihui suppressed her laughter and said, "I remember one time I went to the park to visit my grandma. She bent her knees and raised her buttocks, with her elbows against her calves, her arms forward, her index and middle fingers pointing forward. It wasn't a horse stance, nor was it a martial arts exercise. She looked weird. She wasn't afraid of her legs getting sore and she would hit her head on the ground when she kneeled down."

Geng Benben tried to imitate it, and when he turned his head, he saw that her butt was raised high. "Doesn't she feel embarrassed?"

Geng Zhiqin shook his head; "People say it's not shameful to keep fit."

Geng Benben wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered something: "Sister, grandparents aren't practicing too, are they?" Geng Huihui shook her head: "The school is short of teachers, and they haven't retired yet, so they don't have time for these things." Hearing footsteps, Geng Huihui was surprised. It was almost noon and there were still relatives coming to visit.

Geng Huihui tilted her head to look outside, and Dabao and Erbao came in bounding. Geng Huihui couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Is there no one at Uncle Grandpa's house?"

Dabao: "There are people, but only my great uncle and grandmother. My youngest uncle is sick, and both are in the hospital. My cousins ​​have to go to work, and my great uncle and grandmother have to cook for them, so mom asked us to come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan came in. Geng Zhiqin poured her a glass of water to warm her hands: "Do you want to buy some more things and go to the hospital tomorrow?"

Ye Fan shook his head: "I don't know who told him that Qigong can cure diseases, but he got sick the next day after practicing for one day——"

"He's doing martial arts with that body?" Geng Zhiqin exclaimed. Uncle Geng Zhiye's body was much weaker than Uncle Zhang's. He had to use a cane to take a walk in the alley. If the medical level was not better now, he would have died with his sister.

Ye Fan was startled, and seeing her face full of shock, he couldn't help but want to laugh: "Aunt is speechless when she talks about this. He has been in the hospital for half a month. If the case was so serious before, his children would definitely take leave to take turns to take care of him, but this time they don't want to take care of him. I asked if we should go to the hospital to see him, but Aunt said no, and said that the hospital is full of patients, and we don't want to let Dabao and Erbao get the disease."

Geng Zhiqin: "My third brother's aunt didn't practice, right?"

Ye Fan: "She thinks those moves are too ugly, just like skipping rope. My uncle heard from your third brother that I was weak and I gradually got better by practicing Tai Chi all the year round. He learned Tai Chi from a teacher at a sports school. My aunt said that if she wanted to exercise after having nothing better to do, she would learn from my uncle."

Geng Zhiqin couldn't help but say: "This is the right way."

Ye Fan thought that her mother-in-law had been very well behaved recently, and Huihui and Benben could take care of Dabao and Erbao, so he asked, "I'm going to Yangcheng tomorrow, are you going?"

Geng Zhiqin didn't dare.

Ye Fan's family has a TV. A few days ago, she saw the Spring Festival Gala on TV. The celebrity host wore a red skirt. Ye Fan said that many people would buy the same style in the summer. Someone in this alley worked in a clothing factory. Ye Fan asked if they had skirts. The neighbors said it was too early and they would make them in a few months.

Ye Fan wanted to go to the south. There are many private enterprises in the south in recent years, and private enterprises will be cheaper than state-owned units in order to attract customers. On the second day of the new year, Ye Fan cleaned up the utility room in the south and prepared to use the money earned last year and the year before to wholesale clothes.

Geng Zhiqin was tempted when he heard Ye Fan's plan, but the trip was thousands of miles, and it would take six or seven days to go back and forth by express train, and he would have to use up all his savings, so Geng Zhiqin hesitated.

Geng Zhiqin heard Ye Fan was going again and shook his head: "I'll help you sell it."

Ye Fan: "You are not as brave as Dong Ying."

Geng Zhiqin: "I believe my sister-in-law won't cheat me. But it's so much money. If I sell it wholesale in May and June, I will definitely be restless in the next few months. I'm a teacher. If I don't eat well and sleep well, how can I teach?"

Ye Fan nodded: "Then I will ask Chen Xiaohui tomorrow morning."

Dabao: "Are you going to grandma's house alone?"

Ye Fan asked, "You want to go to grandma's house too? Then you and Erbao pack some clothes and toiletries, and I'll send you to grandma's house for a week, and mom will come back to pick you up?"

Dabao and Erbao have been annoyed with grandma recently, and they immediately went back to the house to pack their things after hearing the news.

The next morning, Ye Fan carried two bags, Dabao took Erbao, and the three of them took the bus back to Ye's house.

Like Geng Zhiqin, Chen Xiaohui wanted to make money with Ye Fan, but when she heard that she would have to keep the goods for several months, she hesitated.

In order to attend classes seriously in the next few months, Chen Xiaohui decided to help Ye Fan sell clothes with Geng Zhiqin and get commissions.

Tao Chunlan couldn't help but sigh: "Even if your money goes down the drain, you still have me and your father, what are you afraid of?"

Chen Xiaohui had tried many businesses in her previous life, but none of them were successful. So even if Ye Fan was leading her, she would feel uneasy when she thought that Ye Fan had never been in the clothing business in his previous life.

Chen Xiaohui: "Do you dare to give money to Ye Fan to let her stock up?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Tao Chunlan's family had two passbooks, one for her salary and the other for her husband's salary. Tao Chunlan liked the house, a three-room shabby courtyard. Chen Xiaohui had mentioned that it didn't matter if the house was shabby, it would be more cost-effective to tear it down and rebuild it than to buy a building. Since she didn't care, Tao Chunlan planned to use her decades of salary to buy the house. Since she didn't need her husband's money, Tao Chunlan immediately gave Ye Fan the passbook of his father.

When Ye Fan saw the number on it, he was shocked: "Mom, are you sure you want to give it all to me?"

"Write me an IOU." Tao Chunlan's words suppressed the sourness that was just rising in Chen Xiaohui's heart.

Ye Fan found a piece of paper and wrote an IOU while saying, "Then you can come with me to withdraw the money and deposit it in my name. I will definitely not be able to withdraw the money if I take my father's passbook to the bank. There are so many people with the same name, and the teller in charge may suspect that my passbook was stolen or found."

Tao Chunlan asked: "When are we going?"

Ye Fan: "Now? I'll go buy the ticket this afternoon."

Tao Chunlan asked hurriedly: "Are you in such a hurry? Are you alone?"

Ye Fan shook his head: "I dare not take the goods alone even if I am brave enough. I originally wanted to find someone from Yujia Village to partner with, but they were afraid of being accused of speculation and they had never been to the south, so they were unsure. They said they would go with me at their own expense to broaden their horizons." Yesterday afternoon, Ye Fan asked Zhang Xiaoming to go to Yujia Village. The people from Yujia Village said, "If the things I make are popular, they will go with me to stock up on goods for the winter or next year during the summer vacation."

Chen Xiaohui: "Why go to Yangcheng? You can go to Hangzhou to wholesale small items. There must be some in Ningbo."

Ye Fan: "Yangcheng is close to Hong Kong, and there are several special economic zones around it. People in the special economic zones can produce openly. There are also foreign investors building factories in Yangcheng, so the variety of products is definitely more than that of Hangzhou and Ningbo."

Tao Chunlan nodded: "I've also heard that things in Hong Kong are fashionable. Fanfan, if you say your clothes are the same as those worn by people in Hong Kong, they will definitely sell well."

Ye Fan was surprised that she had such an idea: "Mom, have you ever thought about retiring and finding a job?"

Tao Chunlan waved her hands quickly: "I'm busy, I have to pick up Liangliang. Besides, isn't it enough for Xiaohui and your sister-in-law to help you sell?"

Ye Fan originally planned to bring a few people from Yujia Village to carry the computer back. Now with her father's support, Ye Fan plans to rent a railway car. Her classmates in the computer department thought she was daydreaming when they heard that she wanted to make computers by herself. Ye Fan said that she had money, and only two classmates said that if Ye Fan could get two computers before graduation next year, they would accompany Ye Fan for three years.

Two high-configuration computers cost fifty or sixty thousand. If Ye Fan continued to make small moves, he would not be able to get the money the year after next: "My dad's money is enough for me to buy a truckload of goods. If I don't find a few more people, how can I sell them all?"

Tao Chunlan asked hurriedly: "How did you transport so many back?"

Chen Xiaohui: "Rent a train car?"

Ye Fan nodded: "Before I got on the car, I sent a telegram to Xiao Qin, asking her to go to the factory to help me rent a transport truck. When the things are brought back, I will put them in the house bought by my mother-in-law, and then ask a few brothers from Yujia Village to live in it."

Tao Chunlan asked: "Are you willing?"

Ye Fan: "We've discussed it. There's not much in the village at this time of year. The hawthorns and chestnuts are all sold out. The chicken and duck eggs, meat, and the vegetables that have just sprouted are not enough to drive to sell. There's no work in the fields, so they're just sitting there doing nothing anyway."

Tao Chunlan touched Erbao's head and said, "Your mother is really capable."

Erbao nodded: "Because she is my mother."

Tao Chunlan was amused: "Is there anyone who praises himself in such a creative way?"

Chen Xiaohui frowned and asked Ye Fan: "Aren't you afraid of being robbed on the train?"

Ye Fan: "There are police officers on the bus. They only dare to steal. It's useless to steal a passbook that's not in your name. After hearing what I said, do you want to go with me?"

Chen Xiaohui didn't dare to do that. She couldn't bear the thought of spending tens of thousands of dollars on something. "You should go first."

Not only did Ye Fan want to go, he also called Su Yuanhang before leaving. Ye Fan and his party had to change trains in Hangzhou, and they had to stop for nearly an hour. It was at this time that Su Yuanhang came to the station to see Ye Fan.

Ye Fan told him that she would arrange the train from Yangcheng to Hangzhou by herself, and Su Yuanhang would help her arrange the train from Hangzhou to the capital. If Ye Fan wanted to transfer from Ningbo, she didn't need to bother Su Yuanhang, she could borrow the carriage that Hengshan Food Factory used to transport goods to the capital.

Su Yuanhang also learned his lesson: "What's in it for me?"

Ye Fan: "No matter how many clothes I wholesale, I will give you a few samples. You can distribute them to companies or individuals and let them produce. If the quality, style and price are the same as those in Guangzhou, I will come to Hangzhou for wholesale during the summer vacation. Of course, the cheaper the better."

Su Yuanhang said without hesitation that he would go to the stationmaster and ask him to dispatch a carriage so that she could transfer to the capital as soon as she arrived in Hangzhou from Yangcheng.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan asked if there was a direct train from Hangzhou Railway Station to Guangzhou.

Su Yuanhang laughed angrily: "Waiting for me here? I said that no matter how powerful your father is, it is impossible for him to have connections in Yangcheng. So you want me to help you find a car from Yangcheng to Hangzhou?"

"You can't say that. I used the car belonging to Hangzhou Railway Station to transport goods from Yangcheng. You know when I will be back, right? If I use the car belonging to Yangcheng Railway Station, aren't you afraid that I won't wait for you and will leave directly when I arrive in Hangzhou?"

Su Yuanhang couldn't argue with her and shook his head: "I won't tell you this. There is a question I have always wanted to ask, but I haven't had the chance. I heard from Su Duofu that you are very busy and you took computer science as an elective? I have asked someone to learn about computers, but there are not many people in my alma mater who understand it. Why did you study that?"

Su Duofu went to Ye Fan's house to deliver seafood at the beginning of December last year, but Ye Fan was not there. Su Duofu asked Yu Wentao why Ye Fan had not had a holiday yet, and Yu Wentao replied that Ye Fan was busier than other students and was studying computer science at school.

When Ye Fan returned home in the evening, Yu Wentao told her that Su Duofu had come, but Ye Fan didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the news reached Su Yuanhang's ears so quickly.

Ye Fanxin said, you guys really care about me.

“I’m going to produce that thing.”

Su Yuanhang was not surprised at all: "We have a hard time producing televisions, and you produce computers?"

Ye Fan: "Let's buy the precision parts first. We may need to trouble the mold factory here to buy the outer shell. I know there are many mold manufacturers here, so we can find you guys for everything from outer shells to keyboards. Is that good enough?"

Producing computers was too much for Su Yuanhang. Even though he believed in Ye Fan, he was not optimistic at the moment: "You are so arrogant. You should first find out how many parts a computer needs."

"I understand. You may not have a lathe that can carve out a keyboard." Ye Fan pointed at his fingernails. "A key is so small. I think you're in trouble."

Su Yuanhang didn't even know there were so many mold factories here. Hearing this, he really couldn't believe that they could make buttons that were two sizes smaller. "What time does your car leave?"

Ye Fan looked at his watch and said, "There's still half an hour left. How about we go find the stationmaster right now? Ask him to reserve two carriages for me."

Su Yuanhang was shocked: "No, not one section? How can you make so much money selling vegetables and meat?"

Ye Fanxin said, how much did my nagging mother-in-law tell Su Duofu? How come she even knew about selling vegetables and meat? "I brought my father's coffin book."

Su Yuanhang admired: "Then come with me to the stationmaster's office to ask?"

If they just asked to rent two carriages, it would not work even if Su Yuanhang showed up. Su Yuanhang mentioned that Ye Fan would bring the goods over and give him a few samples of each item. When the stationmaster heard that it was a mutually beneficial deal, he immediately said that he would arrange it in a moment.

After the car issue was resolved, Ye Fan no longer had to worry. After arriving in Yangcheng, he ate, showered, and rested for a while, then Ye Fan took the six brothers from Yujia Village to look at the goods.

As expected, although Yangcheng is not a special economic zone, the Yangcheng government turns a blind eye and all kinds of things are sold on the streets.

The six brothers from Yujia Village were dazzled by what they saw, just like people from the mountains coming to the city for the first time.

Ye Fan originally only planned to buy clothes, but when she arrived in Guangzhou, she bought sandals, clothes, hair accessories, etc. She wanted all the small things that were not available in the capital and were very popular in Guangzhou, except for fresh food.

Ye Fan paid the money and agreed on a time with them. At noon on the day of departure, various delivery vehicles arrived one after another, and Ye Fan and the six brothers from Yujia Village were at the train station to receive the goods.

Ten minutes before the train departed, Ye Fan delivered the last batch of goods onto the train. The two carriages were packed full, and Ye Fan was so tired that he didn't want to move from his seat. Less than half an hour after the train left, Ye Fan fell asleep.

Several brothers from Yujia Village whispered, "She's really amazing. There were so many goods, I was scared just looking at them, but she actually got them all. How much money did she make?"

No matter what they talked about, they didn't dare to calculate how much money she could make this time.

On the day the train arrived in Hangzhou, Su Yuanhang and his colleagues were waiting at the train station early. Ye Fan opened the door and took out a large woven bag for Su Yuanhang.

Su Yuanhang was surprised: "Why are you giving me so much?"

Ye Fan: "They are all samples."

Su Yuanhang was shocked: "You... there are only so many samples, how many did you buy?"

Ye Fan: "In addition to clothes and shoes, there are also stockings, hairpins, sunglasses, bags, etc. I remind you that it is best to have more branches, regardless of whether they are companies or individuals. Only with competition can they think about their own innovation while ensuring quality. If in summer, your products are still not as fashionable and beautiful as those in Guangzhou, then I will go to Guangzhou to purchase goods. I don't mind the travel expenses."
