After Qin Huairu gave up her job to Banggeng, she was decadent for several days.

With the persuasion of He Yuzhu, Xiaodang, Huaihua and others, Qin Huairu finally recovered.

Then Qin Huairu stopped talking to Bangge and the others. Even at home, they were not allowed to mention Banggeng’s name.

Of course, Jia Zhang and Bang Gang won't care about this matter. After all, to them, Qin Huairu is no longer a member of their family.

……

Time flies, the years fly by, and it’s 1978 in a blink of an eye.

This year, although a lot of things happened outside, they did not have much impact on the compound.

Everyone's life is still the same as before. People who should go to work go to work, and they are busy every day.

Both Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong have reached the age of retirement, but they are the technical backbone of the steel rolling mill and the factory cannot do without them.

On the other hand, they still want to work while they can, so that they can work for a few more years and earn a little more money so that they can provide for themselves in the future.

Yan Bugui has not yet reached retirement age, so he takes Yan Jiecheng's three younger children to school every day and comes back together after get off work.

Although Xu Damao still works as a projectionist, he is not as prosperous as before.

Yan Jiecheng also goes to the recycling bin on time every day. After finishing the work, he reads the newspaper and drinks tea in the office.

Silly Zhu is still working as his chef, cooking a meal every day and then going home.

After Qin Huairu gave up her job to Banggeng, she could only stay at home all day and clean up the housework.

After Banggan took over Qin Huairu's shift, he went to work in the steel rolling mill. He was just an apprentice, just hanging out every day.

……

Then time passed day by day, and in December, the policy of "domestic reform and external opening" was officially proposed.

In the streets and alleys outside, there were suddenly many hawkers walking around.

Of course, self-employed people in the true sense have not yet appeared, and these people now are out of place.

Seeing this situation, Yan Jiecheng also began to think about whether he should also go into business?

Even if you want to start a business, what industry should you start in?

After all, no matter what you do in this era, as long as you do it well, you will definitely make money.

Although Yan Jiecheng had the idea of ​​​​doing business, he was not in a hurry, but was prepared to wait until everything was thought out before taking action.

Finally, Yan Jiecheng sorted out his situation and found that except for the thousands of dollars he had saved over the years, he had nothing else.

Even if Yan Jiecheng wants to start a business, he can only start with the simplest industries, which are the basic necessities of life.

To be precise, he started in the catering industry, but he is not a chef and cannot open a restaurant.

After Yan Jiecheng thought hard for a period of time, he finally thought of a way, which was to sell fried melon seeds.

This is very suitable for Yan Jiecheng to accumulate starting capital. Once he has the capital, he can do whatever business he wants to do.

……

In this way, time came to 1979. There were more people doing business outside and the social atmosphere became more harmonious.

Yan Jiecheng decided to tell Yu Li that he was going to quit his job and start a business.

After dinner that day, Yan Jiecheng asked the children to do their homework, and he said to Li:

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think of me quitting my job and going into business?"

Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Yu Li thought she heard it wrong, so she said, "Say it again, I didn't hear it clearly."

"I said I want to quit my job and go into business." Yan Jiecheng added.

"No, if you quit your job, what will happen to our family's life?" Yu Li said.

"Business! Are the authorities encouraging everyone to do business now?" Yan Jiecheng said.

"Why do you have to go into business? Work hard and get paid on time!" Yu Li said.

"I only have a few dozen yuan a month now. If I want to increase my salary, I have to slowly gain seniority."

"If we go into business, we can easily make money." Yan Jiecheng said.

"How do you know that you can make money by doing business? What if you lose money?" Yu Li said again.

"I've done some research, and even the vendors outside can earn at least several hundred yuan every month?" Yan Jiecheng said.

"Then what kind of business do you want to do?" Yu Li asked again.

"I have already thought about it. We go to the countryside to get some melon seeds, fry them and sell them. We will definitely make money." Yan Jiecheng said.

Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Yu Li thought for a moment and said, "How about you continue working first, and let's try the situation first."

Hearing what Yu Li said, Yan Jiecheng also understood what she meant, which was that he was afraid of taking risks and affecting his family's life.

Yan Jiecheng could no longer object. After all, Yu Li also considered it for the sake of the whole family.

"Okay then! Let's test the situation first!" Yan Jiecheng said.

Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Yu Li finally felt relieved. She was also afraid that Yan Jiecheng would suddenly quit her job.

Now that everything has been discussed, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li started chatting again.

When the time was almost up, Yan Jiecheng and his family went to rest. It was a long night and another good dream.

The next day, Yan Jiecheng went to get dozens of kilograms of melon seeds, a briquette stove, and a large iron pot...

When Yu Li saw this situation, she knew that Yan Jiecheng was really determined to do business.

Yan Jiecheng only fried the five-flavored and cream-flavored ones at first, which only weighed a little more than a pound.

Yu Li tasted it and said: "It's so delicious, even the shell is fragrant."

Hearing what he said, Yan Jiecheng also laughed with satisfaction, and then said: "Since you think it tastes good, then others will too."

"This way we can definitely make money by selling fried melon seeds."

After hearing what he said, Yu Li said: "It's delicious, but it must be sold."

"Don't worry! I've thought about it all."

"We will sell them at the entrance of the cinema. Those who go to the movies will definitely not mind spending some money to buy melon seeds." Yan Jiecheng said.

"Yes! I understand." Yu Li nodded and agreed.

Then the two of them got busy together, frying all the melon seeds and packing them in big bags.

At this time, it was also very late, so Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li went to bed. It was another long night.

After get off work the next day, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li asked the children to go to Yan Bugui's place for dinner.

They used bicycles to pull melon seeds to the entrance of the cinema, and saw a long line of people preparing to watch the movie.

Then Yan Jiecheng shouted: "The melon seeds are for sale, the fragrant melon seeds!"
