Chapter 31

After finishing lunch, it was already around 3 PM. Liu Yunxuan took the drowsy Xiaofang back to the room for a nap. There was no help for it; Xiaofang had woken up too early in the morning.

Liu Yunhai and Peng Li accompanied Liu’s father and mother in their traditional entertainment activity, playing mahjong. Actually, it used to be Liu Yunxuan who played with them, but a few days ago, Liu Yunxuan discovered that he could casually remember the tiles as he arranged them. This way, everyone's tiles were almost known. During the game, he could basically guess what everyone needed, making the game less interesting.

Unexpectedly, this nap lasted until around 6 PM. After resting well, Xiaofang was fully recharged and played crazily with the three little foxes.

"Brother, does the company have any plans for this year?" Liu Yunhai asked while drinking tea and eating peanuts.

"There are no other plans. The chicken and pig farms will maintain their current scale; the provincial city market is basically saturated. I am most worried about the vegetables. The seeds in the seed base warehouse must be well managed. When distributing, they must be given out by household." In fact, Liu Yunxuan was most concerned about vegetable cultivation. With so many people involved, even a small mistake could have a significant negative impact.

"There's no problem with that. I've arranged 20 security personnel for the warehouse. They didn't take a break during the New Year, and I've given them extra pay. They all live in the village and take turns going home for meals," Liu Yunhai said, taking a sip of tea.

"Another thing is that the vegetables will focus on our town for now, gradually expanding. Money can't be earned all at once; we can't take too big a step. In the future, the domestic market will be handed over to you."

"The fish in the large pond will be sold when they reach the right size, with priority given to the large restaurants that have cooperated with us. In the future, the fish fry will be raised in the breeding pond next to it. Even if the production is low, we won't buy from outside."

"After the New Year, I will go abroad and won't be able to keep up with the domestic situation. If anything happens, consult more with Zhao Yan and Wang Mingyuan. Steady development is key," Liu Yunxuan instructed.

Originally, Liu Yunxuan planned to take Liu Yunhai with him to the United States, but there were too many things to handle at home, especially the vegetable cultivation in the greenhouses, which had just started and needed him to manage it.

Seeing the elder son and the second son discussing matters, Liu’s father and mother felt very gratified.

The elder son had become a well-known capable person, and the second son had transformed from a truck driver. Nothing could make parents happier than seeing their children achieve something.

The only downside was that the elder son would go abroad after the New Year, and there were only a few days left. They had just enjoyed a peaceful year at home, and now he had to go out again.

"Big Brother, will you take Xiaofang when you go abroad?" Xiaofang, who was playing with the little foxes, heard Big Brother say he was going abroad. Although she didn't know where, it seemed impressive.

"Big Brother will go first, and then when everything is settled, I'll bring Xiaofang, okay?" Liu Yunxuan picked up Xiaofang and said.

"Okay, then Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Dahuang, Banli, Honghong, Dahong, and Xiaohong will all go," Xiaofang listed the family members.

"Sure, I'll bring everyone when the time comes," Liu Yunxuan said to Xiaofang and then turned to his parents, "When the time comes, you and Yunhai's family can also go over to play. In the future, our business might be mainly abroad."

"We're already so old, why go abroad? We won't even understand the language," Liu’s mother shook her head and said. Generally, in the Liu family, Liu’s mother was in charge.

"Didn't you see that old man in Beijing, who learned English on his own at the age of 70 and now speaks it fluently?" Liu Yunhai said from the side.

"Grandma, Xiaofang can speak English," Xiaofang said, then rattled off a string of English. As they say, you have to start from a young age. Xiaofang had only been learning for a few months, but she could already say some simple daily phrases.

"You little rascal," Liu’s mother affectionately took Xiaofang from Liu Yunxuan's arms.

The family chatted and laughed, watching the Spring Festival Gala and staying up to welcome the New Year.

Staying up to welcome the New Year means not sleeping on New Year's Eve, staying up to greet the new year. They also eat boiled dumplings.

On New Year's Eve, everyone eats a bowl of boiled dumplings, regardless of whether they are hungry or not. Boiled dumplings, shaped like ingots, symbolize wealth and prosperity in the coming year. Usually, a few sweet dumplings are also made, and those who eat them will have a sweeter year.

Xiaofang, who had slept well in the afternoon, also joined in making dumplings.

"Big Brother, guess who this is," Xiaofang said, holding up a dumpling she had made.

Liu Yunxuan looked at the plump dumpling, "Is this Banli or Dahuang?"

"Big Brother guessed wrong, this is Xiaohong," Xiaofang said proudly.

Liu Yunxuan looked at the plump dumpling again, but he couldn't associate it with Xiaohong.

Since they had eaten a lot at noon, they didn't make too many dumplings in the evening. After a while, they were all done. At this moment, the familiar voice of Ben Shan came from the TV.

Regardless of how the outside world evaluated Ben Shan's skits, Liu Yunxuan really liked them. Ben Shan's skits, as people commented, were not highbrow but were widely appreciated.

In Ben Shan's skits, one could see the simplicity and kindness, as well as the ugliness and selfishness of ordinary people, vividly reflecting real life.

Liu Yunxuan was quite busy last night, with New Year's greetings and messages ringing non-stop. With over a billion people in China, the communication companies must have made a fortune during the New Year.

The New Year's Eve passed happily, and on the morning of the first day of the New Year, the air was still filled with the smell of fireworks. People on the streets greeted each other with New Year's wishes.

Liu Yunxuan was relatively relaxed, as everyone knew he would go abroad after the Spring Festival. When he delivered the New Year's gifts, he told them to stay home and spend time with their parents, no need to come for New Year's greetings.

Now a big boss himself, he first went to inspect various places and then greeted the workers who were on duty.

During the Spring Festival, the sales of various products were very good, with a small peak. Ordering New Year's Eve dinner at a restaurant had become a trend, and if you didn't book two months in advance, you might not get a table.

Those who could afford to order at a restaurant were not short of money, and Liu Yunxuan also made a good profit. The sales from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival reached over 7 million yuan.

Liu Yunxuan, through Wang Minghua, contacted the foreign exchange administration to exchange 700,000 US dollars, adding to the previous 400,000, all for investment in the United States.

At first, Liu Yunxuan thought the money could be exchanged freely, but it turned out there was a limit. Fortunately, with Wang Minghua's help, nothing was delayed.

Before he knew it, it was already the 15th, and it was time for Liu Yunxuan to go abroad.
