Chapter 59 Signing Contracts
After dinner, Zhou Jiefang went back to Chijiaopen Village, and the children finished their homework and went to sleep.
Lin Fangfang also changed Zhao Nana's diaper, fed her, and put her to sleep.
Zhao Yuan and Lin Fangfang were left in the room. Zhao Yuan noticed that Lin Fangfang had been unhappy ever since Lin Xuemei came in the afternoon.
"Fangfang, why are you unhappy? Let me show you something."
As he spoke, Zhao Yuan took out four bankbooks from his underwear pocket and handed them to Lin Fangfang.
Lin Fangfang took the passbook, looked at the numbers on it, and asked with wide eyes.
"Wow, so much money! Do fireworks commissions get that much?"
"Yes, I didn't save 2000 yuan. Today I spent 1320 yuan to buy a tractor."
Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Fangfang and said affectionately.
Lin Fangfang burst into tears instantly:
"Brother Yuan, you're so good to me. You gave me all this money. I'm so useless. Why can't I have a child? It makes you the subject of gossip."
"Fangfang, I said I wouldn't say such silly things anymore. Having a son or a daughter is my problem. My daughter is fine."
After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, he pecked Lin Fangfang on the cheek.
Lin Fangfang was deeply moved; she felt incredibly happy, and sometimes it even felt unreal.
Lin Fangfang was as delicate as a kitten. She tilted her head back and gently pecked Zhao Yuan's lips, rubbing her body against him. Zhao Yuan immediately understood her intentions, and with a quick turn, the two embraced.
Zhao Yuan didn't know why, but he really liked Lin Fangfang. He felt an inexhaustible energy around her, and even though they slept together every night, he still felt full of power.
After rolling around in bed, the two of them were panting heavily, but both felt refreshed.
"Brother Yuan, thank you so much. You've been so good to me and the kids."
Lin Fangfang said in a sweet, coquettish voice.
“We are husband and wife. If I am not good to you and the children, who else would I be good to?”
As he spoke, he pecked Lin Fangfang on the cheek again.
"I'm going to Director Tu Chenglong's house in the county town tomorrow. He's been promoted and transferred to the position of deputy director of the provincial Xinhua Bookstore. He'll be back tomorrow. I asked his wife, Hou Fengjiao, to help me find a house in the county town. We'll buy a house there so you can live there with the children and won't have to listen to the gossip in the village anymore."
"Really, you're planning to buy a courtyard house in the county town."
Lin Fangfang looked up at Zhao Yuan.
"Yes, I ordered a food mixer and a food filling machine when I went to Beijing last time. I'll call tomorrow to arrange delivery. I'm planning to open a food factory. I'll write down the recipe for the braising spice packets for you later. You can make the braising spice packets at home, and we'll hire people to do the rest. You just need to be in charge of management."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want me to do. I'll listen to you."
The couple chatted until very late and didn't know when they fell asleep.
The next morning, when Zhao Yuan woke up, Lin Fangfang was no longer beside him; only Zhao Nana was lying at the very back of the bed.
Zhao Yuan got up as usual and kissed Zhao Nana.
"Brother Yuan, get up. I fried four eggs for you. Hurry up and wash up and have breakfast. You're so tired every day, I'm afraid you'll wear yourself out."
Lin Fangfang entered the room and saw Zhaoyuan getting dressed. She whispered something in Zhaoyuan's ear, afraid that her daughters would hear.
Zhao Yuan smiled at Lin Fangfang and couldn't resist giving her another peck on the cheek. The two looked just like lovers in the throes of passion.
After breakfast, Zhou Jiefang handed Zhaoyuan a letter. Zhaoyuan put the letter in his bag and prepared to go to the county town. Lin Fangfang handed Zhaoyuan a bankbook.
"Here, you might need it for something today."
"it is good."
Zhao Yuan took the passbook and put it into his underwear pocket.
Zhao Yuan drove his tractor, chugging along, towards the county town. Everyone saw him driving the tractor and asked:
"Zhaoyuan, are you going to the county town?"
"Ah."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Can we hitch a ride?"
"Okay, everyone come on up."
Zhao Yuan said.
In an instant, villagers who needed to go to the commune or the county town for business all climbed onto the train carriage.
Upon arriving at the commune, one batch was released, while the rest headed straight for the county town.
We arrived in the county town.
"Everyone get off the bus. I have some errands to run. You can go about your business. My bus won't be back until quite late this afternoon. If you can wait, wait for me at the station entrance. If you're in a hurry to get back, take a bus."
After giving everyone some instructions, Zhao Yuan drove to the county supply and marketing cooperative.
"Director Hou, I brought some food I made myself for lunch today. I'll leave it with you for now, as I have some errands to run and it's inconvenient for me to take it with me."
Zhao Yuan said.
“Brother Zhao, why did you bring so much stuff when you came to my house for dinner? Jackie Chan came back last night. If you’re not busy this morning, you can go see him and have him accompany you to look at houses. We went to see some yesterday, and Jackie Chan and I were very satisfied.”
Hou Fengjiao said.
"Alright, I'll go to the meat processing plant first, and then I'll come to your house to see Director Tu after I'm done."
With that, Zhao Yuan left the supply and marketing cooperative and headed straight for the meat processing plant.
He parked the tractor inside the meat processing plant and went straight to Director Zhu's office.
"Dong dong dong."
Zhao Yuan knocked on the door from the outside.
"Please come in."
A baritone voice came from inside the door.
"Hello, Director Zhu. This is Zhaoyuan. Do you remember when County Chief Yang asked me to come to you to buy piglets?"
Zhao Yuan handed over a cigarette as he spoke.
"Oh, Zhaoyuan, I remember you, I remember you. How are the piglets growing? You're buying piglets again?"
Factory Director Zhu took the cigarette, and Zhao Yuan lit it for him with a match.
"Thank you for your concern, Director Zhu. The piglets are growing very well. I'm here today to order pig offal and pig heads from you. May I ask how many pigs your meat processing plant slaughters per day, and how much pig offal and pig heads you produce daily?"
Zhao Yuan said.
"Oh, why do you need so much pig offal? That stuff is unsellable, it stinks, it's both smelly and fishy."
Factory Director Zhu asked curiously.
"I'm planning to open a food company and I need a lot of meat, offal, and pig heads."
Zhao Yuan continued.
"Oh, our meat processing plant only slaughters about 10 pigs a day. Pig offal is something nobody wants, but I can give you all of it, and I can also give you all of the pig head. If you want it all, I'll give you a discount. Pig offal is 1 cents a pound, and pig head is 3 cents a pound."
Director Zhu said.
"Alright, let's sign the contract now. Starting from the 1st of next month, I will come every day to collect pig offal and pig heads. I will also need pork at that time, so please give me a preferential price, Director Zhu."
"Zhao Yuan said. Then he took out paper and pen, sat down at the table, and began to write in a very fluent and expressive manner."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Director Zhu said.
After a while, a contract was written.
Factory Director Zhu picked up the contract written by Zhao Yuan, looked at it, and then signed it.
"Director Zhu, may I ask how many large-scale pig farms there are in our county?"
Zhao Yuan asked.
“There aren’t many large pig farms in our county. Most of them are family-run farms. Some of our pigs are bought from farmers, but most are transported from other counties. Your pig farm is the first pig farm in our county.”
Factory Director Zhu put away his pen and handed a contract to Zhao Yuan.
"Okay, then I'll think of another way."
After thanking Director Zhu, Zhao Yuan packed up the contract and left the meat processing plant, driving his tractor straight to Tu Chenglong's house.
