After everyone had received their share, Song Yunuan came back with a shy Xiaohua to ask for financial assistance again.
So, the brigade office gave each of the two girls an extra yuan.
Xiaohua was thrilled; in a few days, she had earned three yuan and half a pound of meat.
Her mother said they would make dumplings for dinner tonight.
Chu Zizhou glanced at the brigade office's ledger and had to admit, seeing the balance grow felt really good.
Moreover, farming and raising pigs were long-term projects, but the villagers did indeed need to make some quick money to solve their immediate difficulties.
Just as he was about to ask Song Yunuan if she had any new ideas, she had already grabbed Zhou Xiaohua and run off.

Du Zhenhai was indeed locked up.
Even though Old Liu came by, the original decision was upheld.
