Si Chen listened to his resentful brother talk about their past on the other end of the phone.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, he interrupted:

"The phone bill is expensive, don't tell me that."

Zhao Yi, immersed in the beautiful past:...-_-||

"Brother, I am a sentimental person, and I don't have the romantic cells like you scholars. Stop playing the piano to others."

Si Chen coughed dryly and said:

"I came today. I originally wanted to inform my third uncle and see if my third aunt could find a way to persuade your wife to come back."

"Since I happened to receive your call, you should tell your third uncle about this."

"Well, please make this trip, Brother Chen." Zhao Yi accepted the outcome calmly.

"Okay, I'll hang up. You can call me back later. Third uncle is not here right now."

After saying that, Si Chen put down the phone.

On the other side of the phone, Zhao Yi, who was holding the black receiver, could not regain his senses for a long time.

He was actually mentally prepared that this day would come sooner or later.

When Si Chen first came to Zhaojiayuan, Shui Yinghua didn't notice him at all.

Later, when I heard that Si Chen had opened a department store, Shui Yinghua always talked to Zhao Yi about Si Chen intentionally or unintentionally.

At first, Zhao Yi didn't care.

But the frequency was so frequent that Zhao Yi noticed it.

Especially in recent times, Shui Yinghua has repeatedly urged him to go to Si Chen to intercede and let her go to work in the department store.

Maybe she felt that she had Zhao Yi under control, or maybe she no longer cared what Zhao Yi thought of her.

During the recent period, Shui Yinghua always revealed her desire for money openly when she spoke.

She was so gentle to Zhao Yi at the beginning, but now she is so ruthless towards him:

"Why do you read so many books? How much money can the people assigned to the unit earn?"

"A salary of just over 100 yuan a month is not as much as what a coal boss earns from a truckload of coal!"

"I told you, can't you learn from Si Chen?"

"Anyway, wouldn't you like to keep someone close to you and start a business together to make a lot of money?"

"I have to go to a restless university, and I can't make any money even if I get a job assignment!"

"You've been here for four years and you're not making any money but you're still spending money. What should I do?"

"Is it possible that I just stay at home and farm?"

"I don't want to suffer this and suffer this!"

"Besides, everyone in this big family has not separated, and all the income from farming goes to your parents."

"I said I wanted to wait at Si Chen's place and earn some money by guarding the counter. You still can't save your face and go to Si Chen."

"Why don't you think about me? Once you leave, I will be completely penniless!"

And so on, tightening the curse several times a day.

…

Zhao Yan drove a tractor and took his third aunt to the Guomei Department Store.

When the third aunt went up, Shui Yinghua was ironing her trousers with an electric iron.

"Mom, brother, why are you here?"

"Yinghua, what are you busy with?" The third aunt looked at this palace-like department store and felt that she was suffering from stage fright.

Shui Yinghua looked as decent and dignified as usual:

"Mom, brother, sit down quickly and I'll get you a glass of water."

Not to mention the third aunt, a rural woman, even Zhao Yan was silent.

This place is so expensive!

On the ceiling, there are rows of European-style crystal chandeliers.

There are many metal wall lamps scattered on the wall.

Even the floor is made of ceramic tiles that are rare in small northern counties in this era.

Zhao Yan was looking around blankly. The third aunt took the water glass handed over by Shui Yinghua and asked carefully:

"Yinghua, you're guarding the counter here, are everything okay?"

Does Shuiyinghua know what they are here for?

She smiled and replied: "It's good! I have room and board in the staff dormitory of China Coal, and I get a lot of salary every month."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll make money here to help Zhao Yi go to college."

"I'm not good at working in the fields, but I can stand at the counter and sell goods!"

"It turns out that when I was in Linhe City, I was selling clothes. I can get this job for others."

"Oh, okay, okay!" The third aunt smiled cautiously and drank water in small sips.

Now, Zhao Yi and Zhao Zheng have both gone to school, suddenly losing two strong laborers.

The burden of the whole family fell on Zhao Yan.

Zhao San's legs are not completely smooth yet, and the third aunt and Zhao Yan's wife are women.

Although the family is not in a state of poverty, it is not rich either.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and Zhao Yan has no time to do odd jobs.

If Shuiyinghua can make money and take care of Zhao Yi's living expenses, it can be regarded as solving a major problem in the family.

Just like that, the reinforcements brought in by Si Chen were easily subdued by Shui Yinghua.

This result was also expected by Si Chen.

He has tried his best. No matter what the outcome is for Zhao Yi and Shui Yinghua, it is not something he can control.

…

Yuanmeng County Cannery Factory has officially changed its name to Yuanmeng County Food Factory.

And, finally succeeded in producing instant noodles.

Factory director Zhao Rong hurried to Song Tianfu's office with five samples.

Coincidentally, Si Chen was also there.

"Hey, Uncle Rong is here. Let me take a look. What delicious food did he bring?" Si Chen joked.

In recent times, Zhao Rong has led the team to develop many snacks.

Of course, Sichen gives some weird product suggestions from time to time:

For example, bubble gum, sour plum powder, Tang monk meat, spicy strips, dried tofu, vegetable rings, etc.

Zhao Rong was very excited. He took out a few bags of instant noodles from the cardboard box and distributed them to the two of them:

"The first batch of crispy noodles, braised beef noodles, spicy beef noodles, chicken soup noodles, and minced meat noodles were successfully produced!"

On the red-painted desk, Zhao Rong placed two rows of instant noodles one after another.

The packaging bag was designed according to what Si Chen had previously sketched for him:

Just put the bread bag in the shape of a cartoon gluttonous little fat kid, with his tongue exposed and a thumbs up.

Braised, spicy, chicken soup, the packaging pictures are relatively realistic, instant noodles are paired with meat.

The meat paste noodles are relatively simple, imitating the packaging of a big brand in Kyoto.

Si Chen picked up the crispy noodles and asked:

"Is there a Water Margin hero card inside?"

"Let it go! It must be put!" Zhao Rong praised Si Chen's idea without hesitation:

“I have to say, this idea of ​​collecting cards is amazing!”

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

The main consumer group of crispy noodles is children. If you collect eight hero cards, you can redeem a bag of crispy noodles.

Collect the complete set of 108 Water Margin heroes cards and exchange them for a box of crispy noodles.

You know, a box of dry noodles contains 20 bags!

The temptation is simply not too great!

Si Chen, the chicken thief, specifically told Zhao Rong that the 108 hero cards should not be put evenly into the packaging bags.
