Chapter 529: A Big Sale

Jiang Xia watched as Jiang Dong unloaded items from the car and replied, "The food processing plant is starting construction today. Your brother-in-law is there to preside over the foundation ceremony."

Upon hearing Jiang Xia's words, Zhang Fuyan smiled and said, "Finally, the construction has begun. Congratulations!"

Jiang Xia thanked her.

Jiang Dong carried a large box into the courtyard—it was a diving suit that his sister had asked Mr. Jil to help them purchase. They bought ten sets in total and even paid the tax. Mr. Jil asked him to bring them back for his sister. "So, I came at the right time? Where is the factory? I'll go take a look later."

Jiang Xia replied, "It's just a piece of land. What's there to see? He'll be back soon; he left at six this morning."

Jiang Dong unloaded the items from the trunk and back seat, carrying them directly into the house. He asked Jiang Xia where to put them, then moved them into the storage room on the first floor and arranged them neatly, so Zhou Cheng Lei wouldn't have to do it later.

Jiang Dong had also bought a variety of snacks from the Guangzhou Trade Fair, as well as some specialty products from Guangzhou City, filling two large bags.

Unsure of Jiang Xia's current clothing size, as her belly seemed to change every time he saw her, he didn't buy any clothes and focused on food instead.

Zhang Fuyan and Jiang Xia stood in the courtyard, watching Jiang Dong busily moving things around.

She pointed at the unusually high wall of the neighboring house and curiously asked, "Why is their wall so tall? It didn't seem this high the last time I was here."

Jiang Xia proceeded to tell her the story behind it.

Zhang Fuyan was speechless. She couldn't believe there were such people, "But this is better. Now you don't have to build a tall wall, which would have looked awkward and unattractive!"

"Indeed, it's much more comfortable now that we're not being watched all the time," agreed Jiang Xia.

While Jiang Xia felt relieved, Wenwan was frustrated every morning when she woke up to the sight of the tall wall, making her feel suffocated.

She ended up changing rooms to sleep in.

Jiang Dong spoke up again, "Sister, Mr. Jil and John said they want to come and find you and brother-in-law."

Zhang Fuyan laughed, "Old Mr. He also asked about you. He said he's already talked to several manufacturers in the capital city and wants to introduce you to them as a translator."

Jiang Xia smiled, "If you see Old Mr. He again, tell him that next time won't be too late."

Jiang Dong continued, "There's also an elderly Mr. Zhang from the port city who wants to meet you. He said he'll come find you when he's free. You and brother-in-law didn't go to the trade fair, but so many people are thinking of you!"

After Jiang Dong finished unloading, Jiang Xia poured a cup of coconut juice for both Jiang Dong and Zhang Fuyan, and also offered them some nuoilizi (sticky rice cakes).

Zhang Fuyan took a sip of the coconut juice, savoring its sweet and fragrant taste with a hint of coconut. It was delicious!

She glanced at the milky-white liquid in her cup and asked, "I thought this was milk. What is it? Why is it so good? It's even better than milk!"

"It's coconut juice, made from coconuts. Drink more if you like it; there's plenty more," Jiang Xia replied.

Jiang Dong pushed his cup towards her, saying, "No need, give mine to Xiao Yan. I don't like it."

He thought the coconut juice was probably made by his brother-in-law for his sister, so he couldn't finish it all by himself.

Zhang Fuyan pushed the cup back, "I'm fine with one cup. You drink it."

Jiang Xia smiled, "Don't push it away, Xiao Dong. Drink it. There's more in the fridge. I've been drinking it every day lately, but I'm getting a bit tired of it. These nuoilizi were made by my mother-in-law with coconut shreds, and the filling is pineapple jam that I made myself. Try them."

A few days ago, a new comrade of Zhou Cheng Lei's brought over a large bag of coconuts and pineapples. Jiang Xia suddenly felt like drinking coconut juice, so Zhou Cheng Lei started making a big jug of fresh coconut juice for her every morning.

There were too many pineapples to finish, so after giving some away, Jiang Xia made pineapple jam and canned a few jars.

As soon as Jiang Dong heard this, he immediately reached for a white and plump nuoilizi covered in coconut shreds and offered it to Zhang Fuyan. He took one for himself as well.

He had to try his sister's cooking, even though he usually didn't like sweet and sticky pastries.

Zhang Fuyan, on the other hand, loved it, "Delicious! The coconut shreds are fragrant, and there's a lovely pineapple flavor too."

Seeing Zhang Fuyan's genuine enjoyment, Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I made several jars. I'll give you two to take back to the capital city, and Xiao Dong, you can take two back for your parents as well."

Zhang Fuyan didn't hesitate to accept, "Sure, I'll eat them with steamed buns when I get back."

Jiang Dong asked again, "I just saw Mother-in-law and Brother-in-law's second brother praying on the ground over there. Is he also planning to build a house?"

Jiang Xia nodded, "Yes, because..."

Jiang Xia took the opportunity to tell him about her divorce from Li Xiuxian, so that Jiang Dong wouldn't be caught off guard and call her 'Second Sister-in-law' when they met on the street, or ask about Li Xiuxian during lunch, creating an awkward situation.

Jiang Dong and Zhang Fuyan were also very well-informed, and they appreciated knowing the details to facilitate their social interactions.

Changing the subject, Jiang Dong took out a passbook and handed it to Jiang Xia, "Sis, all the dividends from the factory will be deposited into this account. I opened it using your household register."

Jiang Xia's household registration was still under the Jiang family and hadn't been transferred yet.

Jiang Xia took the passbook and glanced at it. There was only one deposit, indicating a new account.

"The accounts for the Guangzhou Trade Fair haven't been settled yet. After the settlement, the dividends will be transferred in."

Jiang Xia closed the passbook, "How were the sales for the rolling luggage and strollers at the Guangzhou Trade Fair?"

Mentioning this, Jiang Dong became particularly excited. He smiled and said, "It was fantastic! Every foreign merchant ordered no less than ten thousand, and some even placed orders for thirty to fifty thousand. The most affordable rolling luggage was ordered the most, and the most expensive ones also had many orders. We sold over nine thousand of the regular ones, almost ten thousand, and all one hundred limited-edition rolling luggage were sold out in less than five days. The other two types of rolling luggage combined had orders for over a hundred thousand. When I left, the fair wasn't over yet, so there might be more orders coming in. We also sold a lot of omni-directional wheels, vacuum sealers, and plastic bag production lines, even more than the previous fair..."

Jiang Dong enthusiastically shared the success of the Guangzhou Trade Fair.

This time, his sister should be able to receive dividends of over fifty thousand yuan.

After Jiang Dong finished speaking, Zhang Fuyan smiled and added, "Not only did the foreign merchants order a lot, but some of our own countrymen also placed orders. Many of the exhibition staff approached me, asking me to buy one for them. Moreover, many factories also contacted Jiang Dong to purchase the patents for the omni-directional wheels and rolling luggage."

This was something Jiang Xia could foresee, as omni-directional wheels could be used in various applications, and companies in the machinery industry would surely be interested.

Zhao Cheng Lei had just returned from the factory's foundation ceremony and noticed Jiang Dong's car, knowing he had arrived.

Mrs. Jiang quickly finished her chores and went home to cook. Great-grandmother, He Xinguan, and Tian Caifua also came to help.

Today was a significant day for both families, so they celebrated together.

The chicken had been slaughtered early for the prayer ceremony, and Mr. Jiang also bought a lot of seafood, making the lunch very sumptuous.

Jiang Dong laughed, "The food here at Brother-in-law's place is still the best!"

Zhang Fuyan nodded, "It makes me want to live by the sea too."

Jiang Xia said, "Come and buy a house in our village and be my neighbor."

Hearing this, Jiang Dong replied, "That's not impossible, but are there any houses for sale in your village?"

Jiang Xia was just joking, "I don't know, I haven't heard of any."

Jiang Dong said, "If you hear of anyone selling a house, let me know, and I'll buy one too. Even an old house is fine; I can always tear it down and rebuild. After I marry Xiao Yan, I'll be your neighbor."

He was also waiting for his father, who preferred living next to Jiang Xia.

Tian Caifua's curiosity was piqued again, "Are you planning to get married? Don't worry, I'll help you find out if there are any houses for sale!"

Zhang Fuyan's face turned red, "No, Jiang Dong is just joking."

Jiang Dong smiled, "Thank you, Sister-in-law. We'll get married after graduation. Please keep an eye out for us."

Jiang Dong also wanted to live next to his sister.

Under the table, Zhang Fuyan pinched Jiang Dong's thigh gently.
