Da Shu’s mother also lined up to register; she wasn’t a fool.
Her man made a little money working away from home, she knew that much, because he often brought her back egg cakes and fruit candies.
She could till the fields while her man earned money outside.
Captain Zhao noticed that more than half of the team had registered while a small portion had not.
However, he did not care.
Whether to grow medicinal herbs was their own choice.
But both his sons had registered, Laosan had registered as well, the Cao Family had registered, and even Wang Laowu’s household had surprisingly registered.
Captain Zhao immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Tianlei and sent it by mail.
Asking him to help prepare medicinal herb seeds and some books on planting them.
Otherwise, how would they plant in the dark?
Nonetheless, many in the team were discussing this matter.
"Can you really make money growing medicinal herbs?"
"Is that even a question? Old Wu’s wife didn’t she go to the hospital? She stayed for several days and it cost quite a bit, not to mention the medicine she brought back to brew, which is much more expensive than grain."
"When is the team leader going to distribute the seeds?"
Now there are still soybeans and sweet potatoes in the fields.
They don’t know when to plant medicinal herbs, they’re still preparing the fields.
They want to plant as early as possible, harvest as early as possible.
That way they can make money sooner.
"Medicinal herb seeds, do we depend on Zhao Laosan for that?"
"Probably, otherwise we wouldn’t have known that medicinal herbs could be grown, right? There are herbs in the mountains, but do we recognize them?"
Indeed, even if medicinal herbs were right in front of them, they wouldn’t recognize them.
Having lived so long, they hadn’t even been to the county town; when they got sick, they just endured it at home. Only if it was a serious illness would they go to the health clinic in town.
"How do we sell what we grow?"
"If everyone in the team grows medicinal herbs, the team will help sell them when the time comes."
It’s nothing to worry about.
They only have to grow; they don’t need to worry about the seeds or how to sell the crops.
These herbs are not grains, after all.
Over in the Capital City.
After persuading his family, Wang Jianguo did not concern himself with the outcome.
Every day after work, he would escort Zhao Xinxin home.
"Comrade Zhao, you can call me Comrade Wang, or just by my name is fine too."
After work, he is no longer the Public Security officer.
He’s just an ordinary person.
Seeing her change the way she addressed him, Wang Jianguo felt more at ease, "Comrade Zhao, about what I said the other day, do you agree? Would you consider dating with marriage in mind?"
He was actually very nervous at this moment, but they were already halfway there, and he hoped she would agree.
Zhao Xinxin saw his nervousness and even the determination in his eyes, revealing his anticipation.
He’s got himself a partner now.
Wang Jianguo nearly extended his hand to embrace her in excitement, but he held back with great effort.
He did not take advantage of the moment immediately.
"Thank you, Comrade Zhao."
Zhao Xinxin was about to respond, "I should be the one thanking you."
But her sister-in-law had told her never to say anything that belittled herself in front of others, whether they were family or strangers.
"When will you formally introduce me to your brothers?"
Wang Jianguo thought that now their relationship was established, even though he had met her two brothers before, they hadn’t had a formal meeting.
"Isn’t it a bit early for that now?"
They had just defined their relationship today, and already he was considering the step of meeting the parents.
At home, things progressed quickly.
But theirs wasn’t a case of arranged viewing.
This was a free love relationship.
