Accidentally entered a high gate

Zheng Chunfang looked at her eldest daughter and smiled, "What that little rascal Wanwan meant by 'try your luck' was doing business. You must have seen quite a few businesses coming from the train station, right?"

Snapped!

Zheng Chunying slapped her forehead. "How could I forget that? When that little rascal Wanwan wrote to Hongxia, she mentioned that she went to the park to take photos for people. Is she still doing that business?"

"They're still doing it. They also want to open a photo studio."

"Can individuals now open their own photo studios?"

"No. But it should be soon. You know, in some places they divide the land according to the number of people in each family, right?"

"Land distribution?!" Zheng Chunying could hardly believe her ears.

Wanwan: "It's not 'divided,' it's 'packaged.'"

Yan Bang: "The land still belongs to the collective."

Yan Min: "It's just that production was contracted out to individual households."

Xiao Yanchuan: "Yes! Just the bag!"

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Her daughter and son are truly worthy of being raised by her father-in-law and mother-in-law. She needs to learn from them. "Yes, I misspoke earlier. I should have said that the land was contracted out to the villagers according to the number of people in each household."

Zheng Chunying: "..." They really did divide it up... um... they really contracted it out to the villagers? If they really contracted it out to the villagers, wouldn't the villagers work themselves to the bone? "We still work together as a group."

"I know. For something this important, the government will definitely test it out in some places first. Only after it's proven successful can it be rolled out."

"That's true." She even steams a tiny bun, about the size of a fingernail, to test it first. "Did the government select a few areas with low grain yields to test it out first?"

"Yes. If the government is willing to lease land to villagers, it should also allow individuals to open photo studios. Photo studios are not as important as land."

"That's right. It doesn't matter whether you take photos or not. You can't skip meals. Wanwan, tell your aunt about your business."

"Okay!"

……

Wanwan rambled on and on.

The more Zheng Chunying listened, the more she felt that this was feasible.

After Wanwan finished speaking, Zheng Chunying decided to do it. "I'll try steaming a few batches of buns first. My steamed buns are pretty good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Lifeng, Zheng Chunfang, Zheng Xinhua, and Zheng Jianhua said, "I'll help you."

"Okay. Yanbang, Yanmin, Yanchuan, your aunt brought you some stir-fried mountain produce. Try it and see if you like it!"

Yan Bang, Yan Min, and Yan Chuan: "Thank you, Auntie."

Wanwan: "Auntie, what about me?"

Zheng Chunying pinched Wanwan's cheek. "You didn't. You little rascal."

Bowl: "Hehe..."

Ma Lifeng: "Big sister, I want to eat too."

"You don't have any either."

Ma Lifeng: "No way! Wanwan and I really believe you can get into university."

……

Li Guihua: "..." That's it?!

Seeing that Ma Lifeng and the children had gone with Zheng Chunying to eat local mountain produce, Zheng Chunfang sat down next to Li Guihua. "Mother, are you happy to see me?"

"I'm so... so happy. You... you really want to do business?"

"It wasn't us, it was my eldest sister. Lifeng, Xinhua, Jianhua, and I were just helping my eldest sister wash vegetables and tend the fire."

Li Guihua: "..." Without you guys, how would your eldest sister dare to do business in Beijing?

"My parents-in-law know you and my older sister are here, and they want to invite you to dinner."

"Your grandma also invited your older sister and me to visit your in-laws. She brought some things for them; would that be alright?"

"My in-laws aren't that particular. They won't mind if you bring some vegetables you've grown yourself."

"That's good! That's good! When is your mother-in-law free?"

"Sunday. My father-in-law wanted to come see you, but I didn't let him. It would be a bit troublesome for him to come."

"Mother knows." Li Guihua moved closer to Zheng Chunfang and whispered, "Is your father-in-law more lucid or confused?"

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Did her brother and sister-in-law not mention her father-in-law at all after they went back? "Mom, didn't you ask Xinhua and the others about my father-in-law?"

"No. They only visit your in-laws' house during holidays, and they don't stay for very long."

"Didn't my grandparents or my dad ask?"

"No. Your grandparents, your father, and I all felt that asking them would be pointless."

"Alright." "The reason I said my father-in-law's visit was a bit troublesome is because he holds a very high position and needs to be accompanied by many people when he goes out. It's not because my father-in-law is not mentally sound." Zheng Chunfang used the word "very" twice in a row mainly to prepare her mother mentally.

"What? Your father-in-law isn't crazy?"

"Um."

"Then...then Lifeng?"

"He was just saying it in anger. He had a disagreement with my father-in-law at the time."

Li Guihua: "..."

Li Guihua wanted to ask why he insisted on clinging to her, but then she remembered that her second daughter and son-in-law had been married for over ten years, so she refrained from asking. "You just said your father-in-law has a very high position?"

"Yes." Zheng Chunfang told her about Ma Jingshan's position.

Li Guihua was stunned after hearing this! "You...you're kidding me, right?"

"I'm not kidding you. If you don't believe me, ask Xinhua and the others. Xinhua and the others have met my father-in-law."

Li Guihua: "..." My God!

"Don't be nervous, my father-in-law is just an ordinary old man at home."

Li Guihua didn't want to be nervous, but she had never even met the county magistrate. "How about... how about I don't go to your in-laws' house? You... you can just take the things back with you."

"My father-in-law is just an ordinary old man at home."

"Then I wouldn't dare go. If I knew who your father-in-law was, I would have had your grandmother come instead."

"My father-in-law plays marbles with Yan Chuan when he has free time."

"Then I wouldn't dare go."

"My father-in-law also played eagle catching chicks with Wanwan and Yanbang."

"Then I wouldn't dare go."

"My father-in-law even played games with Wanwan and Yanbang, saying we were all wooden figures."

"Then I wouldn't dare go."

Zheng Chunfang was at her wit's end. "Big sister, big sister."

Zheng Chunying was peeling pine nuts for Xiao Yanchuan when she suddenly heard Zheng Chunfang call her. "Coming!"

Zheng Chunying handed the pine nuts she was holding to Zheng Jianhua and then came over. "Why are you calling me 'big sister'?"

Zheng Chunfang explained why she had called Zheng Chunying over.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chunying excitedly grabbed Zheng Chunfang's hand. "Is your father-in-law really Commander Ma?"

"Um."

"My God! Mom, if my grandma knew you had a chance to see Chief Ma and didn't go, she'd scold you. And she'd scold you every single time she thought about it."

Li Guihua: "..."

Zheng Chunfang: "Yes!"

Zheng Chunying: "Do you want to be scolded every day?"

I don't want to. "I...I'll go."

"That's more like it. Others would love to see him but can't. Chunfang, when is Chief Ma free?"

……

Zheng Chunying was extremely excited.

On the other hand, Sun Yaoguang was extremely depressed.

Sun Yaoguang is Zheng Chunying's husband.

Sun Yaoguang had just stepped out when his younger brother followed him. "Brother, where are you going?"

Sun Yaoguang was extremely frustrated! "I'm going out for a walk."

"I'll go with you. I also want to go out for a walk."

Sun Yaoguang: "..." You don't just want to go out for a stroll, you want to spy on me. "With your sister-in-law's personality, would I dare to seduce other women? Would I be asking for trouble?"

"That's hard to say."

Sun Yaoguang: "..."

"Anyway, you can't go anywhere alone while my sister-in-law is away."

Sun Yaoguang: "..." Is this kid his brother or his wife's brother? "Dad, Mom, you need to control the second son."

Old Man Sun and Old Woman Sun: "Second Brother is right! Second Brother, keep an eye on your eldest brother."

Look?! He's not a criminal!
