Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 501 The Best Grandma in the World

When Zhong Jiawen asked Qiao Dongjing to help Zhou Jifan mail a letter, she also sent 300 yuan to Zhou Rong as New Year's money.

They couldn't stay by Zhou Rong's side, so they could only use this little money to make up for their filial piety...

After receiving the remittance and Zhou Jifan's letter, Zhou Rong sent Zhong Jiawen four cans of milk powder, some milk candies, biscuits, sesame candies, sesame cakes, sausages, cured fish, cured meat, etc., and also bought a few toys.

When Zhou Jifan and Zhong Qiaoen helped unpack the packages, they were delighted to see all kinds of food and toys.

Zhong Qiaoen touched a toy gun and said happily: "Grandma is so awesome, she bought so many things!"

Zhou Jifan: "Our grandma is the best grandma in the world. She will buy whatever we want. When you grow up, you should be nice to her and repay her."

Zhong Qiaoen: "Yes! Grandpa and I have agreed to invent a spaceship. Once it succeeds, we will take grandma to play in space."

Zhou Jifan: "I'll go with you and help you take pictures."

Zhong Qiaoen: “Okay!”

Zhong Jiawen listened to the two people's childish talk and laughed, "If you want to invent a spaceship, you need a lot of knowledge. After you two help me sweep the floor, go read books and try to invent the spaceship as soon as possible.

I haven’t been to space yet, but before my teeth fall out, I hope you guys can make your dreams come true and take me to space for a spin.”

Zhou Jifan: "No problem! We will definitely fulfill your wish!"

Zhou Qing'an and Liang Jingyi brought Zhou Xinxin, Zhou Jipeng and Zhou Jifei back to Jiangcheng on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to spend the New Year with Zhou Rong.

Zhou Jipeng and Zhou Jifei, who were over one year old, could not walk steadily and had to be carried in their arms. The two of them were very tired carrying three children and several large bags of luggage on the train.

Nini watched Zhou Qing'an tie his two sons to his body, one in front and one behind, and appear at the door with two large canvas bags in his hands. She hurriedly went to help him carry the luggage despite her pregnant belly.

Seeing her frighteningly large belly, Zhou Qingan did not give her the luggage: "The bag is a bit heavy, you can't carry it, I'll do it myself. Didn't you just give birth in May? Why is your belly so big?"

Nini stroked her belly and said happily: "The doctor said it's twins, so the belly will be bigger than normal."

Zhou Qingan: "It's very hard to be pregnant with twins. I'll ask your second sister-in-law to share some experience with you later, so that you won't suffer any loss during the birth."

Nini: "Okay, you guys are such a hassle every time you come back, can you please ask your superiors to transfer you to Jiangcheng?"

In order to separate the military and politics and limit local power, officers are usually not allowed to serve in their local area and must be transferred back, and they are not allowed to hold leadership positions.

It’s not that Zhou Qing’an had never thought about transferring back, but Zhou Rong was already in office. If he was transferred back, he could only be an ordinary soldier, or transfer to civilian work and work in an agency.

Liang Zhenbang didn't want him to give up his bright future, so he advised him to be patient for a few years and wait until Zhou Rong retired before making plans...

Zhou Qingan: "I applied, but it wasn't approved. We're not with mom on weekdays, so thank you and Zhan Ning for your hard work."

Nini: "There's not much work to do at home, and my mother likes to be independent, so we don't feel tired at all."

Liang Jingyi led Zhou Xinxin over and said with a smile: "Old people like to have their children around them. Your second brother and I live far away and often have to go on missions. We can't get back when something happens at home. If it weren't for you and Zhan Ning, we would be unfilial sons and daughters."

Nini: "Don't say that, sister-in-law. You have brought glory to the country and are the pride of our whole family. Mom understands you and supports your work.

Mom is in good health, you don't have to worry about anything. It's windy outside, let's go in quickly so the child doesn't get cold."

Fish Leong: “Yeah.”

The electrical appliances, food, clothing, etc. brought back from Hong Kong by Jiangcheng Shunda Import and Export Company were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves in various stores.

However, there were problems with the rice, flour and cloth that were shipped over.

Rice, flour and other food products entering Hong Kong require quotas. Tang Zhaoshan obtained some quotas from Jiangcheng Shunda Import and Export Company by giving gifts.

However, when the Hong Kong Customs conducted random inspections, they said that the quality of the rice and flour did not meet the standards and detained the goods.

Tang Zhaoshan is currently trying to build connections everywhere. Losing the goods is no big deal. They want to open up the road to facilitate future grain imports.

The cloth that was shipped over was not confiscated, but because it was of a single color, mainly gray, black, and navy blue, and had no price advantage, the vendors did not want it and piled it up in the Tang family warehouse.

Tang Xing, as a businessman, naturally wanted to maximize his profits. He discussed with Li Yanlin to sell this batch of unsaleable cloth at a low price and replace it with a batch of better-selling goods to be shipped to Hong Kong.

Li Yanlin said that this matter should be reported to the municipal government and a decision would be made after receiving approval.

During the meeting, the leaders of the municipal government laid out the problems encountered by the import and export companies, hoping that everyone would discuss them and give some good suggestions.

Some people say that this falls under the scope of industry and commerce, and the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau should find a way to deal with it.

Zhou Rong didn't want to speak, but the ball was kicked to her, and it would be inappropriate for her not to say a few words. She also hoped that Jiangcheng would develop better and better.

Zhou Rong suggested that the cloth piled up in the Tang family warehouse be sold at a low price first, to avoid quality problems arising from the cloth being stored for too long and no one wanting it anymore.

Then we collect the preferences of cloth merchants and produce according to their demands. At the same time, we transport some industrial products to Hong Kong to test the market conditions.

Some cadres disagreed to bow to the "capitalists", saying that the products sent to Hong Kong were produced by several large factories and there was absolutely no problem with the quality. It must be that the Tang family did not perform their duties conscientiously and did not have the strength, which led to the inspection of rice and flour and the inability to sell cloth.

Zhou Rong said: "Hong Kong's system is different from our mainland's. They have free trade. They buy from whoever has good and cheap products that the people like, regardless of their background.

The import and export company was specially approved by the central government, but things started to go wrong right after it started operating, and we are unwilling to solve the problems. How can we explain this to the higher-ups? "

The leaders of the municipal party committee were worried that their political achievements would be affected. After weighing the pros and cons, they agreed to Zhou Rong's proposal and assigned an officer to find Li Yanlin and report the results of the discussion.

And adjust the content of export products, and make enamel basins, scissors, flashlights, kettles, electronic components, etc. as the main export products...

Zhou Rong had been in meetings all day and was exhausted. When he got home from get off work and saw his son, daughter-in-law and their families all back, he instantly felt much better.

Zhou Xinxin, who was playing at the door, smiled and said to Zhou Rong as soon as she saw him, "Grandma, you're back. I'll go get you some hot water to soak your hands."

Zhou Rong: "Thank you Xinxin."

Zhou Qingan took Zhou Rong's briefcase and said, "The meal is ready. Mom can eat after washing her hands."

Zhou Rong: "I am so happy to have you here."

Zhou Qingan: "Then we will stay at home for a while longer and go back after the Lantern Festival."

Zhou Rong: "Okay, no matter how long you stay, I welcome you."
