Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 405: Blowing Up the Outhouse with the Little Rascals

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Blowing Up the Outhouse with the Little Rascals

Chen Guanghai hesitated for a moment but was eventually convinced.

Excited, he immediately expressed his intention to seek approval from the brigade secretary for setting up the factory.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, that’s settled then. Brother Chen, can you prepare fifty cans for me by tomorrow? I plan to take them on the road, and I’ll pay you the restaurant price."

Despite saying this, Su Xiaoxiao actually intended to put the seafood cans in the mall to see how they sold.

The village women were quite talented in cooking, their flavors weren’t much different from hers.

She had a feeling this stuff would definitely sell well.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guanghai frowned, "Why pay if you’re eating them?"

After realizing, he asked, "Comrade Su, aren’t you staying until our factory is built? What will happen to the factory if you leave?"

"Brother Chen, I’m not of much use here. You’ve learned the recipe, and the restaurant connection is established. Once you finalize the factory, I’ll go back and design a logo for you. Send it over, and when you have it printed, the packaging will be settled."

"This..."

Chen Guanghai always felt that without Su Xiaoxiao, they’d lack guidance — she seemed more capable than him, despite her age.

"Brother Chen, I believe in you. Chenhe Village’s prosperity depends on you."

Su Xiaoxiao sincerely praised him, making Chen Guanghai scratch his head in embarrassment, "Me... you think I can do it?"

"Of course, you definitely can."

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists to cheer him on.

Her words instantly filled Chen Guanghai with confidence.

He immediately perked up, "Little sister, let’s go have lunch. After eating, I’ll head to the commune secretary to discuss establishing the factory."

Comrade Su was from a big city and a manager. If she said he could do it, he surely could.

The two returned to tell everyone about the day’s sales, and the news of the state-run restaurant ordering fifty cans for the next day made everyone cheer.

Three cents profit per can, fifty cans would be fifteen yuan, and this was just one restaurant order.

Everyone was instantly motivated.

By the time they got back, Wang Xiujuan had already cooked.

During the meal, when they learned Su Xiaoxiao was leaving, the whole family felt reluctant to let her go.

Chen Laosan blinked at her and asked, "Sister Su, can you take me with you too? I can be your child groom."

Wang Xiujuan slapped him, "Why would she want you as a child groom? For your age and bed-wetting? Or your dislike of washing your feet?"

Chen Laosan: "..."

Su Xiaoxiao visualized the scene and politely declined.

After lunch, the women were busy making seafood cans again.

The men went to sea or helped make tin cans, leaving only Su Xiaoxiao idle, staring at the three Chen children.

Suddenly, Chen Laosan stood up, "Sister Su, let me show you something fun."

Su Xiaoxiao, feeling bored and curious about the fun, asked, "What’s fun?"

Chen Laosan mysteriously replied, "Just follow us and you’ll see."

So, the three children and Su Xiaoxiao, a group of four, went off in great excitement to find amusements.

They walked quite a distance until they reached the southwest corner of a family’s house in a neighboring village.

The three quietly checked around and, seeing no one, Chen Lao Da pulled out two firecrackers from his pocket.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly had a bad feeling and tentatively asked, "The fun you’re talking about isn’t..."

Before finishing her sentence, Chen Laosan and Chen Lao Da quickly struck a match and lit the firecrackers, throwing them into the courtyard, and each grabbed an arm of hers, "Run!"

Then, with two loud bangs, someone cursed and rushed out from the yard.

Covered in a dung color...

Su Xiaoxiao was silent for two seconds; she regretted trusting these three mischievous kids.

"Damn! Who the hell threw firecrackers into my toilet? Get out here now!"

Ssss, the voice sounded familiar.

Wait, wasn’t that Zhang Dashan?

Su Xiaoxiao immediately recognized him from his distinct accent.

The four of them hid behind a haystack, listening to Zhang Dashan curse before heading back inside.

Chen Laosan grinned mischievously, "Sister Su, fun, isn’t it?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Fun, my foot! She shouldn’t have come along. Luckily, they weren’t seen, or they might’ve been thrown into the toilet.

When they returned, Chen Guanghai was back too, his face full of excitement.

No need to ask; the matter must’ve been settled.

"Little sister, you have no idea. At first, the secretary wouldn’t agree, saying there’s no such precedent in our commune. Guess what happened?"

Filled with pride, Chen Guanghai’s smile nearly reached the sky.

Su Xiaoxiao played along, "What happened?"

"I squatted at his door eating seafood cans, filling the room with fragrance, making them drool. Wherever he went, I followed eating. Finally, when I followed him to the toilet, he agreed, saying the aroma made even the toilet filth look pleasing."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Honestly, squatting at the bathroom door to eat... no, a seafood can, could any sane person do that?

Reflecting on the kids’ explosive prank, she fell into a bizarre silence, suspecting the kids took after their father.

The factory’s application was approved; now it was time to find a site and start mass production — all this without needing Su Xiaoxiao’s help, as she returned to her affairs.

Chen Lingling came over after work; the three kids, excited, wanted to share their afternoon achievements.

Su Xiaoxiao swiftly stopped them; it was a piece of black history for her lifetime.

She couldn’t forget Zhang Dashan’s head soaked in dung color, and nearly lost her appetite for dinner.

Chen Lingling brought braised beef and red-braised pork from the state-run restaurant.

She handed the braised beef to Su Xiaoxiao, "Sister, didn’t I promise to treat you?"

Then, as if remembering something, she contemptuously gave her another oiled paper bag, "These are pickled strips from Brother Liu for you. Eat if you like, throw them if you don’t. Such a stingy man."

Su Xiaoxiao remembered the clock and told her, "Tell your cousin the clock will arrive tomorrow. Be sure to watch at the door in the morning. What you and Brother Liu wanted is inside too."

Chen Lingling hurriedly handed Su Xiaoxiao the money Brother Liu gave her, "Here’s the money for the clock. Take it."

Knowing she would leave, Chen Lingling insisted on staying with Su Xiaoxiao for the night.

Though this sister had excellent sleep quality, falling asleep and snoring within two minutes after hitting the pillow.

Not only did she snore, but she also ground her teeth, leaving Su Xiaoxiao feeling lifeless; she was promised a peaceful sleep.

Just then, she suddenly heard some rustling outside the window and became immediately alert.
