Chapter 321 Adding a New Industry
After the Chinese New Year, Ruanruan stayed in confinement for two months under the care of the whole family. Of course, in the second month, she was allowed to take a bath once a week. By the time she was out of confinement, it was already March.
During the confinement period, Ruanruan was bored, so she drew a blueprint of a baby carriage and asked Huo Haocheng to find someone to help make it.
Originally, Huo Haocheng took the drawings and wanted to find a carpenter in the village after get off work to see if he could do it. However, at the end of the training, the drawings were accidentally retrieved and seen by Ge Xiaotian and others. After Huo Haocheng's explanation, they felt that they could do it, and after repeated assurances, Huo Haocheng left the drawings with them.
A few people used their free time to study and work on it. They borrowed the necessary materials and tools from the logistics department. After a week, they made the baby carriage on the drawing.
"Captain, how is it? Let's say we can do it, are you still in doubt now?" After the training, Ge Xiaotian showed Huo Haocheng the results of their past few days.
It was the first time that Gu Jinghe had seen this kind of baby carriage. "Xiaotian, what is this for?"
"This is the baby carriage that Ruanruan drew. We saw the drawing and asked the captain for it. It took us a week to make it. How is it? Not bad, isn't it?"
Looking at the light in Gu Jinghe's eyes, Ge Xiaotian felt extremely proud.
"Yes, it's good," Gu Jinghe said, while his hands were not idle, he held the handle and pushed it back and forth a few times.
"I say, brothers should not favor one over the other. You have done something for Huo Haocheng, so mine should not be left out, right?" Gu Jinghe thought of his wife who was working now and his mother-in-law who was helping to take care of the children at home. The couple had agreed to give his mother-in-law some money every month.
However, as the child grows bigger and heavier, my mother-in-law gets tired carrying the child outside every day. It would be much more convenient if she had a stroller like this.
Listening to Gu Jinghe's words, Huo Haocheng also thought of Ruan Shaohong and Huo Haoshi's children, who were almost the same age. After thinking about it, he bought the materials with his own money and asked them to help each family make one.
No one had any objection to this. After all, we were all brothers and it was just a matter of physical effort.
In the evening, Huo Haocheng brought the stroller home, and his grandmother praised him, "Oh, grandson, you finally did something right."
It was the first time for the old lady and Wang Qun to see such a stroller. They were afraid that the stroller was not stable and her great-grandson or granddaughter would fall from it. The old lady supported the stroller with both hands and pressed it hard a few times. After making sure that there was no problem, she went to find an unworn cotton coat, cut it up and put it on the stroller, and then held the child and put it on it to try it out.
"Good, good, this baby carriage is really easy to use. By the way, Haocheng, where did you buy this carriage? Is it still available?" The old lady thought of Li Huan's child in her hometown. This kind of carriage should be very expensive. The old lady thought that if Huo Haocheng had the channels, she would buy one with her own money and send it back. Now it is spring, and the busy farming season will begin in a few days. With this carriage, it will be much more convenient for Li Huan to take care of the child.
"Grandma, you don't have to buy it. This is a picture drawn by Ruanruan. Ge Xiaotian and the others made it when they had nothing to do. I've already told them that I'll ask the logistics department to help buy the materials tomorrow. Once it's done, I'll send it back home."
Huo Haocheng thought that with this experience, they would be able to do it quickly again.
Things turned out just as he thought. With experience gained, they made the material models needed for three strollers at one time, and then worked in pairs to make three strollers in just a few days.
On the day the stroller was completed, Gu Jinghe took it home and was praised by Dr. Jiang and his mother-in-law. Afterwards, his mother-in-law pushed the stroller in the family compound to show off. The most important thing was that Dr. Jiang had been living at home during her pregnancy, and Gu Jinghe also went back home every day, which made Jiang's mother laugh at them in the family compound.
No matter how Jiang's mother explained, it was useless even though she had given food to the couple. They just believed that they were going back to their parents' home to beg for money. They just didn't believe it. To put it bluntly, they were just jealous. Who doesn't have a married daughter? They believed who their son-in-law was, and who Gu Jinghe was.
Now seeing the baby carriage that Gu Jinghe brought back, their jealousy was aroused again, but compared to jealousy, they were also extremely envious.
Similarly, after Ruan Shaohong and Huo Haoshi received the baby strollers that Huo Haocheng sent, the two mothers pushed the strollers outside to play. Those who had children at home asked them where the strollers came from and said they all wanted to buy one.
After Ruanruan got the news, she immediately contacted Zheng Xuyang. After the two discussed, they felt that this was an industry that could make money.
The next day, Zheng Xuyang took the documents to the government building and applied to register a furniture factory. He also asked Huo Haoshen and Lan Chaoyang to visit several material factories and sign cooperation agreements.
Just like that, in mid-March, Ruanruan had another furniture factory under her name. Of course, when it came to the issue of workers, Ruanruan still went to Huo Haocheng for help. There were so many people who retired from the army every year. Even if there were no more from the Yuncheng Military Region, there were still people from other military regions. She asked him to call and ask if anyone was in need of a job and had good character, and she could introduce them over.
To this end, Ruanruan bought a few plots of land from Mayor Guo, just to the south of the school, and the pharmaceutical factory and the family compound to the north of the school. Of course, they were not far away, just a few kilometers away.
In the following time, Ruanruan discussed the furniture factory matters with Zheng Xuyang and Lan Chaoyang at home. This time, Ruanruan wanted to build the family building as well, and found the same construction team as before, Chen Liang, who went out of his way to find the two construction teams he had worked with before, and he was the chief engineer.
Everything was arranged and construction began. It was already the end of the month. Ruanruan thought she could finally take a break for a while. Unexpectedly, Huo Haocheng came back that day and told her that they were going out on a mission. She didn't have time to say a few words. After simply packing two pieces of clothes and taking some money, she left.
Seeing him walk away in such a hurry, Ruan Ruan felt very worried and contacted the system
"Bai Ze, why did he leave in such a hurry? Do you know what the mission was?"
"Master, have you forgotten? I talked about the return of scientific researchers last year. The people who were hiding abroad during the Chinese New Year finally contacted them. Now they are preparing to return to China and are waiting for the Chinese military to pick them up."
After Bai Ze’s reminder, Ruanruan also realized that, yes, it is time for the scientific researchers trapped in other countries to return home!
"You go with him and take a look around. If you can bring back anything we need, that would be the best. If you can't, just destroy it." One of Ruanruan's main principles is to take what you can bring, and if you can't take it away, I can't use it, and you can't use it either.
After Huo Haocheng left, the weather started to get hotter day by day. Ruanruan pushed the stroller and followed her grandmother and mother every day to open the land, plant vegetables, and water the seeds.
Early that morning, Ruanruan contacted the system and Bai Ze told her that the pick-up was unusually smooth this time. Except for some obstacles at the beginning, nothing happened in the middle, not even interception or pursuit.
Ruanruan was very surprised to hear this. A country's military defense could not be so weak. With so many people including Huo Haocheng entering their territory, no matter how good their disguise was, they could not fool everyone. Ruanruan thought about it and thought that unless they had a bigger conspiracy behind it.
As if she had thought of something, she grabbed the clothes at the head of the bed, put them on, and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, I have to go out for a while for something. Please help look after the child." Then she ran to the military headquarters.
