The next day, Zhang Junping called back to his hometown.
Jiahe Village hasn't received a call yet, the call was to the commune.
Ask the commune to notify my father, agree on a time, and then call him.
It's very troublesome anyway.
However, no matter how troublesome it is, it is still more convenient than writing a letter or sending a telegram.
Fortunately, Zhang Junping's father and him, the first college student in the commune after the Cultural Revolution, are relatively well-known.
So the people in the commune were very polite and sent someone to Jiahe Village to deliver the letter.
Zhang Junping waited for two hours and called again. On the other end of the phone, the person who answered the phone turned into his father.
"Hey! Is this the boss?" Dad Zhang Yingyao said in his usual loud voice.
My mother once said that when my father speaks at the south gate, he can be heard by the north gate.
"Da, it's me! Are you and my mother in good health?"
"Okay, your mother and I are both in good health. You don't have to worry about it. Why are you calling?" Zhang Yingyao was worried about the phone bill, so he didn't want to talk about the family affairs and asked directly.
Zhang Junping also knew what his father was thinking, so he said directly, "Da, please send me the household registration information of eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, and Nini Niuniu."
"Why do you want household registration information?"
"My eldest sister is pregnant, and I'm going to find connections to move her family's household registration to Xiangjiang."
"Your sister is pregnant? How is that possible?" Dad's exclamation came from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Junping smiled bitterly, is pregnancy the key point? Shouldn’t the key point be relocating the household registration?
"Da, my eldest sister is really pregnant, she just found out."
"This... this... is great! Boss, can you really move your eldest sister's household registration to Xiangjiang? I heard that there is no family planning in Xiangjiang." Zhang Yingyao slapped his thigh and shouted loudly.
In order to support his work, his eldest daughter went to get a sterilization, which was an unspeakable pain in Zhang Yingyao's heart.
No matter what he said, he was just like ordinary people in his heart, he believed that if he didn't have a boy, he would have no descendants, so he always felt sorry for his daughter and his in-laws.
"There is no family planning in Xiangjiang, so I am planning to move the eldest sister's household registration to Xiangjiang." Zhang Junping did not explain. He moved the eldest sister's household registration to Xiangjiang and passed the Xiangjiang company's control of the furniture factory. He could not explain clearly, so he simply decided
Just follow what dad said.
"Okay! Great! Boss, you did a good job!
I will tomorrow.
No!
I will send you the household registration information in the afternoon." Zhang Yingyao shouted loudly.
After shouting, Zhang Yingyao remembered something again and continued to shout at the top of his voice: "By the way, speaking of Xiangjiang, you have a letter from Uncle Lin.
He is doing well in Xiangjiang. If you need anything when you arrive in Xiangjiang, you can go to your Uncle Lin."
"Uncle Lin?" Zhang Junping recalled it in his mind for a long time before vaguely remembering that there was such a person.
Uncle Lin is dad's comrade-in-arms and has a life-long friendship with him.
According to Dad, Uncle Lin's life was saved by Dad. If Dad hadn't carried him off the battlefield, Uncle Lin's life would have been lost.
Speaking of which, Zhang Junping and Uncle Lin are somewhat related.
Uncle Lin's lover is his mother's cousin, so Zhang Junping wants to call him uncle Lin, but because of his relationship with his father, he always calls him Uncle Lin.
Later, at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, when he was just six or seven years old, Uncle Lin moved his family to Xiangjiang, supposedly to inherit the inheritance.
"Oh, by the way! Your Uncle Lin also runs a furniture factory. You go and learn more from your Uncle Lin." Zhang Yingyao thought for a while and added.
"I know, Da!" Zhang Junping didn't refute and agreed directly.
Although he believed that there was nothing to learn from Uncle Lin, the furniture business strategies and furniture styles he knew in his mind were enough for Uncle Lin to learn for ten or twenty years.
It's just that I can't say this.
"Da, when the summer vacation comes, you and my mother will come to Beijing with your second son, third son, and the others.
It also allows the second and third children to gain knowledge and give them a little more motivation to study." Zhang Junping knew that if his parents were asked to come over to play, they would definitely not agree.
He was reluctant to part with the money, so Zhang Junping used it as an excuse to let his second and third brothers gain knowledge, broaden their horizons, and increase their motivation for learning.
"Let's talk again! The village is too busy now!
Let me tell you, our village is amazing now.
This year our Zhang family opened a pig farm and raised more than 100 pigs.
The Dong family also learned from us and also engaged in breeding, raising more than a thousand chickens.
In addition, the village also built three greenhouses according to the drawings you drew.
If the income is really as good as you said, I will build a few more in the second half of the year..." Zhang Yingyao rambled on about the changes in the village.
Zhang Junping was very happy to hear that the changes in the village were all for the better. Zhang Junping felt a sense of accomplishment after listening to his father's words.
After all, these were his ideas.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junping returned to the furniture factory in a happy mood.
"Brother Zhang, you are back." Li Chengru was chatting with Master Du in the yard. When he saw Zhang Junping, he immediately greeted him with a surprised and humble smile.
"Brother Li is here! How are you? Have you found the store?"
"Found it!
There is a three-story facade building on West Chang'an Street over the Xidan Archway. I took a look and found that the location is quite good." Li Chengru showed his usual honest smile.
“Xidan Archway? That’s good!
Brother Li still has a lot of connections. I previously wanted to open a furniture store in Xidan Archway, but I never found a suitable one." Zhang Junping praised, but in his heart he couldn't help but sigh at the great inertia of history.
Even though it was seven years in advance, Li Chengru still chose Xidan for the store he rented.
Moreover, according to Li Chengru's description, it was the place where he later opened a special clothing store.
"Brother Zhang, I came here today because the marble has arrived at the cargo yard. Please tell me when it will be shipped."
"Yunshi has arrived?" Zhang Junping was a little surprised, but also a little happy.
Nowadays, Zhang Junping has too many things on his hands and has no time to repair the ancient furniture inlaid with marble, so these marbles will not be used for the time being.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Junping said: "Send it to the new factory over at Jinsong."
Over at Jinsong's new factory area, the fence has been built. If you put other things there, you might be afraid of being stolen, but Yunshi is not afraid.
To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of stones with better-looking patterns.
These days, no one really wants to steal a few useless stones.
"Okay! The man will go to the goods yard and find a car to deliver the marble to the new factory." Li Chengru said quickly and resolutely, and immediately turned around and left.
Watching Li Chengru leave in a hurry, Zhang Junping shook his head speechlessly.
What a hothead.
"Director Zhang, there are a few old brothers who want to come to work in the factory. Do you think we still need more people?" Master Du had been watching Zhang Junping and Li Chengru talking. It was not until Li Chengru left that he came over and said to Zhang Junping.
