It didn't feel like a few years were changing again and this was the start of the Chinese new year again in 1976, one year before the year the university continued.
One year before the university began, Qingyuan village had experienced tremendous progress in its soap production. The product was originally just a bath soap, but has now become a well-received symbol of beauty by the public and even used in hospitals.
but after some time Kiki took the initiative to provide a recipe for making a new type of soap that can be used in the hospital, while because of the limitations of the material they use bamboo as a container. But it also uses a popular method of tapping in the following year.
Soaps used in hospitals to help eradicate bacteria are often referred to as "antiseptic soaps" or "medical cleansing soaps." This soap is specifically designed to clean the hands and body effectively, as well as help reduce the risk of bacterial transmission and infection.
The introduction of soap in practical packaging tubes for hospitals made Qingyuan village even more popular. compared to beauty soap bars this soap can even be sold at a price of 3 times but soon ludes because of the outstanding reservations from hospitals around the country. Qingyuan seemed to have achieved tremendous success in her side business.
But this is all inseparable from Kiki's contributions of course and he also gets dividends on those benefits as a result of Kiki's life in the village getting prosperous and when he was found eating meat it was no longer questionable where did the meat come from.
Thanks to this side business as well, many villagers are able to eat meat other than Kiki.
Kiki's hand and body lotion efforts, which were initially mediocre, have evolved into a very lucrative commodity. Initially, Kiki used an early stage hand body lotion recipe that was able to moisturize the skin and make it brighter. However, as time went on, he began looking for recipes that further enhanced his benefits.
One of the new recipes that is very prominent is a recipe that is able to refresh the skin even in the case of recovery of skin tissue due to mild fires. Kiki considered that the recipe was still pretty good at first, and the sales continued to increase.
However, when antiseptic soap or medical cleaning soap was introduced, Kiki approached the village chief with a special request. He requested permission to sell his products, including hand and body lotions, accessories, and apparel, using the village name Qingyuan, even though it was Kiki's personal business.
As the village chief, secretary, and team captain were intrigued by this new recipe, they agreed to Kiki's request and signed a deal for the delivery of the antiseptic soap recipe. With this, Kiki can sell its products without fear of being considered speculation. His efforts are growing, and his business is becoming more successful.
With the success of Kiki's efforts and the cooperation with San Mio, San Mila, and Jing Lin in the production of these items, their lives became better. They can produce goods without having to be hidden and do it blatantly. Although some residents may be envious of seeing their success, as the saying goes, the higher the tree, the stronger the wind will be felt.
Recently, however, the San-born family again made trouble by asking for some money as a blood-related relative.
As happened today.
Kiki was enjoying her time in her room when she heard the noisy voices and crying screams from Mio's neighbor's house. Inwardly, Kiki felt astonished, "Definitely have they come again today? Having the wrong money, not having the wrong money. Ah, it seems life is also going awry." He quickly saved the newly calculated money into his system drawer and got up to watch the scene in the neighbor's house.
When Kiki came out, she saw a shirtless boy running forward as if to see the chaos that was happening. Kiki immediately called out to him, "Little Stone, do you want this candy?" He pointed to a handful of white rabbit milk candy.
You know, three of these white rabbit milk candies are equivalent to an egg. That is why many villagers are reluctant to buy them for children
Little Stone saw the candy and suddenly her saliva dripped. "What can I do for you, brother?" ask him innocently.
Kiki smiled and handed the candy to Little Stone's hand. "Go and tell the village chief and secretary."
"Good "
After saying that, Little Stone immediately ran to do its job. Meanwhile, Kiki with a determined face walked leisurely towards the source of the noise earlier, ready to face situations that might require decisive action.
In a gloomy room, a middle-aged woman was lying on the floor. Tears flowed from his eyes, and he rolled around like a child. Hysterical screams filled the room as she said, "Mio is a selfless girl! He forgot where it came from!" His crying voice was filled with regret and despair.
The crying woman also revealed, "I've given birth to an unfilial child, and I'm sorry I gave birth to it."
Kiki knew that it was the mother of Mio and Mila, They used to think Mio and Mila would starve to death let alone have to bear a disabled man at home But who would have thought if Mio and Mila were to live fine even better opened than them.
Work points are calculated and they get food rations equivalent to the amount obtained by the san family of 8 people.
they thought that much food rations could definitely make Mio and Mila full within the next 1 year but what about those with a large number of families but food rations Just like that.
it's not fair at all.
Plus Mio and Mila work with Kiki who also makes some money and tickets.
So now they came to ask for food from Mio but Mio refused to give it that's why they made such a fuss.
Two girls who have been raised in vain but do not make any donations to the family.
Kiki did not say anything but wanted to see what happened, Chen Li stood in front of Mio as if to protect Mio's stomach. his arm was only one now but his legs were already stronger when compared to this one since Mio was seriously always taking him to the hospital.
mio's mother disliked Chen Li who stood in Mio's way.
Mio's mother yelled angrily at Chen Li "Beyond you, I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to your daughter, you gentle-yielding man."
Chen Li did not move at all, he was like a stone that could not be shifted, yet he remained silent.
"Hey, step aside, I said! I want to talk to my shameless daughter" Mio's mother said again.
As a man, Chen Li could not possibly shout at a woman, even more so if it was her own mother-in-law. He just stood in front of Mio and remained silent, without saying anything.
Suddenly, an older woman appeared with a stick in her hand. She blurted out harsh words to Mio, who was then standing on a big belly, signaling that she was eight months pregnant and was just waiting for the time to give birth.
However, this old woman seemed to be unconcerned about Mio's condition being pregnant. In fact, he threatened to hit Mio with his cane while saying, "Mio is an unfilial grandson!"
The old woman loudly declared, "Mio has made money, but he never sends a penny to his family home. As a result, his father and mother were forced to suffer from hunger at home "
"what kind of grandchildren have been born in our family, these are not grandchildren but white-eyed wolves" he added.
Soon some residents also commented, they think a child needs to be devoted to his own family regardless of whether they have money or not .And now Mio and Mila obviously have an excess of groceries at home, so what's wrong with giving the birth family a little food.it won't even make them hungry in a short time.
An Aunt said, "Mio, you have to realize that this family needs your help. You can make money, but it's not fair that your father and mother are abandoned."
A few more words and throw that alone someone they were right but they forgot the story that happened one year before this.
Mila was also there and she was screaming no less.
"Your mother has a complete family with a strong body Why not earn points in the fields? we're just two women and have no power, the shameless ones are you guys asking for food here!"
" if you're a mother, you'll see that my sister is pregnant right now. She needed enough money to give birth later. At that time are you willing to give us money if we need it?"
Those words immediately made the people commenting change direction again and they also said some things if Mio's life wasn't easy because she had a disabled husband and could only rely on herself to be able to produce food.
Grandma San's and Mio's mother's face paled in embarrassment, they had also been said to be a burdening family. However, then they shouted and gave an explanation to the residents who had commented.
Grandma San: "You're just pretentious and don't know what's going on. Whatever Mio and Mila make belongs to the San family, moreover Mio is our daughter, not a man who makes money. It was only natural that the money made belonged to the San family."
Mio's grandmother also added, "The money produced by the San family is used by irrelevant people at all." Those words were addressed to Mio's husband, but Chen Li no longer felt ashamed or inferior.
Grandma San: "Let one world insult her and blaspheme her, as long as the wife who accompanied her for life didn't think that way."
When the harsh words were spoken again by these two old ladies, suddenly the village chief, secretary, and team Captain came in with a loud shout, making the few citizens present retreat giving way for them.
"Why are you making trouble again, brother-in-law? Isn't there enough punishment you received last year?"so will the village chief make everyone remember again about the incident 1 year before.
But Grandma San was dissatisfied, she said"The village chief, I only asked for a little food for my granddaughter at home. That won't be enough for the next year."
Mio's mother in a weak tone to take the sympathy of the village chief.she behaved as if she was the one who was the victim in this case "I am also helpless at home. I saw two princesses eating full, what's the harm in sending a little home?"
The village chief:l said, "This matter has reached the police station. If Mio still wants to take matters into her hands, she can go to the city, and I can't help you anymore."
"Why could that be? I just wanted to ask for a little food. Am I wrong? I am his grandmother." said your grandmother who did not accept.
The village chief said, "Sister-in-law, you are not wrong, but the wrong thing is that you have no legal relationship, and Mio no longer has the obligation to give you food."
The secretary added, "You guys are strangers now, let alone Mio is married and has her own responsibilities. So, don't make a fuss here, otherwise, we'll punish."
The team captain also said, "If you want more food, why not work diligently in the fields? You just laze around and complain about the food division. If this is the case, why blame others?"
The team captain was firm, "If you guys still want to make a fuss, I'll give the San family to clear the desert, and Aunt San also two in-laws should clean the pigsty for 6 months."
The words were very effective, making Grandma San and Mio's mother tremble on the spot, plus the two sisters-in-law who were standing not far away, even though they did not join in shouting, but they act as provocateurs in this situation.
The two in-laws hurriedly said, "Captain, please don't put this in our hearts. We'll go home and never come again to ask this girl for food."
The secretary added, "Good, if you understand. It's just a warning. One more thing, and it's no longer a warning, but it's gonna get punished."
The two in-laws rushed into the crowd and carried Grandma San away in a very embarrassing manner. Some residents were talking and whispering, pointing towards them as bloodsucking families.
Meanwhile, Chen Li lowered his head and asked Mio, "Are you okay?" Mio interrupted and said, "I'm fine, thanks for protecting me."
Chen Li smiled, "I am your husband, regardless of what others say."
Kiki looked at the situation from the side, and she did not approach the two, but rather left the place.
This one year has been enough to teach everyone a lesson, and Kiki is beginning to hope that next year will bring positive change to their country. At that time, Mio and Mila will probably be part of a change that brings happiness and luck.
