Rebirth in the 1980s and 1990s

Noisy, hot, crowded—

This is the scene in Wannan City at the end of 1998 and the beginning of 1999. It seems that it has changed a new look overnight, and the whole city has become extremely lively. Although there were still some people who had not returned home before, the end of the year has arrived, and almost every day

A person from southern Anhui smiled when he heard this rumor about Wannan City on his way back.

"Hey, you all know that Wannan City is really developed now."

"Isn't that right? I heard from my daughter-in-law's uncle's nephew that it was really lively. He opened a canteen there. I heard that since the central government planned to build a special zone there, there are more and more people there every day.

Ah, now I heard that just selling groceries costs several thousand a day!"

"Hey, you guys think that Wannan people are so lucky. If we use this method, we will be in a deep market again in five years."

"Don't be envious. If the people from southern Anhui hadn't come from the Zhang family, they would really be inferior to us in Huaixi County."

"Just brag that Wannan is not as good as Ningxi City. Go and take a look. Wannan City is now a big city on the same level as Ningxi City."

"Hahaha, that's right, I don't think you will catch up with Huaixi in eight lifetimes."

"But it's not just Wannan people who are lucky. Look, Huzhou and Taishan County have all been transferred to Wannan City. A relative there called a while ago and said that their county government has been abolished. Now

All were re-established and managed by Wannan City.

Especially Huzhou, which is close to Wannan. I heard that the road has been repaired, the entire population of Huzhou has been re-liquidated, and several towns have been cancelled. Now a large number of people have Wannan City residence registration, and they all moved to the original Zhangjialing after the flood.

"

"Hey, tell me why the central government didn't include our county."

"Why!"

The sudden rise of Wannan City has obviously had a great impact on Huizhou City. Almost everywhere people are talking about this new special zone city that is now directly higher than Huizhou City.

No matter what is said outside, the large-scale infrastructure construction in Wannan City is proceeding in an orderly manner. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have held a year-end work meeting, calling on all builders to work together to build the Wannan Special Economic Zone as a part of the future Wannan City.

, everyone hopes that the special zone will be built as soon as possible.

People can't believe the speed of change in the entire Wannan City, which changes almost every day. The previous hills have been bulldozed, the rivers have been filled in, the newly built buildings have one floor in a few days, and the brand new roads are moving around at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Extending, new protective forest greening forests were planted piece by piece.

All these changes were recorded in the footage by professional staff. Every Wannan person began to form a new understanding of this city of their own. This is a new city, a city of hope, and something they will soon be proud of.

city.

At this time, in the newly established Talent Registration and Migration Hall of the Wannan Municipal Government, people start queuing up before dawn almost every morning. The staff here get off work overtime until nine o'clock in the evening almost every day, but No one was dissatisfied.

This was the moment when they witnessed the rise of Wannan City with their own eyes. Every new population entering represented the growth of Wannan City. Over the past six months, they could no longer remember how many people had become Wannan City’s residents through the red seal left on their hands.

Citizens.

Throughout the off-duty year of 1998, the population flowing into Wannan City almost doubled. However, Liu Yunqing and Lin Xiaomei decisively adopted Zhang Zhenyi's suggestions to the municipal party committee and government.

Although this policy was accused by some media of distinguishing the good and bad of people, the Wannan Municipal Party Committee and Government still carried out it strictly under great pressure. The most criticized part of this policy is that not everyone can enter Wannan City

To obtain a household registration in Wannan City, you must have relevant qualification certificates in a certain field.

At this point, Zhang Zhenyi drew on the population policy of Shanghai City in another time and space, and adopted a points system. Educational background, age, technical qualifications, and investment amount in Wannan City will all be included in this range. He designed a set of reasonable points standards, which are consistent with

At the same time, some special standards have also been set up to allow certain special situations to bypass the points system. For example, if you invest more than 10 million in Wannan City, you can directly obtain household registration.

As soon as this policy was promulgated, it immediately caused an uproar in the country. At this time, the local government had not realized the big problem of household registration, but Zhang Zhenyi believed that once housing prices began to rise like in another time and space, differences began to appear in the public service system.

After that, the household registration problem will become very serious immediately.

Although at this time, no key megacity has made a feasible policy on the household registration issue, this problem actually exists. Zhang Zhenyi did not want Wannan City to become the same situation in later generations, so he set it up from the beginning

Years.

Within five years from the establishment of the Wannan Special Zone, people entering Wannan City can pass special policies and points standards. Once the five-year period is over, the Wannan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will issue new policies on the household registration issue, and the entry threshold will be raised.

and set strict limits.

With the arrival of Carrefour Group and a large number of partners from Hong Kong and Carrefour Group around the world, they have begun to invest in Wannan City. Suddenly, there are an unusually large number of people who want to enter Wannan City.

Moreover, the Wannan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government directly pointed out in public that in view of the current extremely rapid population influx, the Wannan Municipal Government will consider ending the five-year period early.

This report almost instantly ignited the enthusiasm of many people who want to enter Wannan City. Among the many people, the largest number are college graduates. Since the country has begun to liberalize the household registration policy and gradually canceled the college student allocation system and universities have begun to expand enrollment,

Suddenly, a large number of college graduates began to pour into Wannan City.

The influx of a large number of high-quality and technically qualified talents has on the one hand enriched the population of Wannan City and provided objective labor and technical strength. On the other hand, it has greatly boosted the total consumption of Wannan City.

Liu Yunqing and Lin Xiaomei admired Zhang Zhenyi's series of suggestions and methods. They have first-hand information on population changes. If they didn't have such a method, it would be difficult to absorb so much in a short period of time.

of high-quality talents.

On the highway leading from Ningxi City, the capital of Jiangnan Province, to the new Wannan Special Economic Zone, a brand-new bus was full of passengers. From time to time, some people on the bus turned back and glanced at the row of seats near the back of the bus.

A young foreign girl with black hair and blue eyes is sitting in this row of seats. She has a fair complexion and a delicate face that makes people jealous.

Although Irene didn't know much Chinese, she was extremely sensitive to the fact that the passengers on the bus were very curious about herself as a foreigner. There were indeed many foreigners who came to China in recent years, but she was sitting on the bus from a provincial capital city in the interior of China.

In the past, there were really not many foreigners on the bus in a small mountain town.

Next to the foreign girl, sat a very calm young Chinese man. He had excellent skin, a pair of glass eyes on the bridge of his nose, his eyes were closed, and his face was a little sleepy. He put one hand gently around the girl's waist.

This is the first time Liu Runping has returned home since he went abroad a few years ago. Originally, he planned to return directly after graduation, but this year Mr. Liu said that if he didn't come back for the Chinese New Year this year, he would not come back, so he had no choice but to ask the teacher.

After a month-long vacation, I took Irene back to China.

Originally, he planned to come back alone, but Irene didn't know how she got the news that he was going back to China, and she was so determined that she would follow him back to meet his parents and that magical nephew, which gave him even more headaches.

It was Eileen's parents who actually encouraged their daughter to visit China.

It wasn't until before getting on the plane that Irene told him that it was the beautiful Chinese lady who told her that Liu Runping was going to return to China. Liu Runping secretly shook his head after hearing this, except for the one who was like a goblin and fascinated a group of schoolboys in Nottingham all day long.

Song Qing. He couldn't think of anyone who would leak the secret to Irene.

After a long air journey, Liu Runping was a little tired. However, Irene didn't know whether it was due to excitement or nervousness, but she was extremely energetic. Originally, after getting off the plane in Shanghai, Liu Runping wanted to go to the Carrefour Group branch in Shanghai.

He was sent by someone to take him home, but his girlfriend and fiancée Erin-Alex didn't want him to do so, and instead wanted to take a Chinese bus home with him.

Looking at the longing look in his girlfriend's eyes, Liu Runping gritted his teeth and agreed. As you can imagine, the result was unspeakable. Ever since he transferred to the bus in Ningxi City, he has been in a semi-conscious state.

State. Except for holding his foreign devil girlfriend with his arms, he almost didn't say a word and remained motionless.

"Honey!"

"Honey!"

Liu Runping really didn't want to talk, his eyelids were so heavy that he didn't even want to move. He didn't know why he was so tired, but the feeling of weakness all over his body made him not want to move, but Irene seemed to want to wake him up.

"Honey?"

"kindness!"

"Is this where you grew up? It's really beautiful, but a little dusty, but I can see that this is a very dynamic city."

Liu Runping didn't know that the car had entered Wannan. Although Irene didn't understand Chinese, she recognized the word Wannan city from the welcome sign just now. She knew that Liu Runping's hometown was a place called Wannan.

In fact, the original urban area of ​​Wannan City has almost been renovated. It had been renovated for five years before the special zone was planned. Some old buildings were demolished. The biggest change was the planning and construction of roads and greening. Due to Zhang Zhenyi

Thanks to their contribution, the planning drawings obtained by the Wannan Municipal Government were personally designed by designers from world-renowned design firms.

These urban plans are completely combined with the urban planning models of some developed countries in the world, and the overall design is based on the preferences of the Chinese people. That's why Irene felt very beautiful, but what she saw was indeed good, the dust hit her face,

The road was almost entirely covered with loess dust, and there were so many earth-moving trucks coming and going that from time to time earth would be poured out from the trucks.

"Well? Erin, do you know where this place is?"

When Liu Runping heard this, he seemed to remember that he seemed to be in the car going home, but his head was heavy and he was a little unconscious. He opened his eyes and glanced out the window briefly, looking at the unfamiliar street, and then immediately closed his eyes again.

How could it be Wannan City? Even if it became a special zone, I'm afraid it wouldn't have experienced such big changes so quickly.

“Wannan city!”

"oh!"

"What? my dear, where?" "Wannan city!"

Liu Runping drowsily seemed to hear Irene repeating it. He was stunned for a moment. Most of his sleepiness disappeared. His bloodshot eyes suddenly opened and he stared closely at the strange and familiar street outside the car window. This was unexpected.

Is it really Wannan?

Since the two people spoke in English, the passengers in the car did not know what they were talking about. But the shocked expression on Liu Runping's face when he looked out the window was still revealed by a young girl next to him.

.

Cheng Siqi is a fourth-year Chinese language student at Jiangnan University. She is also from the original Wannan County, which is now Wannan City. She actually saw this extremely eye-catching Chinese and foreign couple as soon as she got in the car. The man was handsome,

The woman is beautiful, and the aura of the two of them seems to be very knowledgeable. At least they are not ordinary students.

In fact, she heard the conversation between the two clearly from the beginning, but Irene's words were very fast, and some of them were not heard clearly. However, she could tell from the lines that this young man must have left home for a while, and it may not be.

Know the changes in Wannan City in recent years.

"This is Wannan County."

Liu Runping turned his head to look at the owner of the voice, and then realized that it was a very delicate-looking girl. He smiled slightly and said:

"Hehehe, I've been away from home for a long time, and I don't even recognize him when I come back!"

"Well, Wannan has developed rapidly in the past few years, and it may be even faster in the future. I take it you are coming back from abroad?"

The girl spoke very calmly, and Liu Runping could tell that this young girl was probably not comparable to ordinary students, as her conversation and posture were both outstanding.

"Well, yes, I've been to England for almost five years, and I don't recognize my family this time. I'm really sorry for the old man at home. My name is Liu Runping. This is my girlfriend and fiancée Irene. I see you are carrying it on your back.

Something, or a college student? What do you call it?"

"You can call me Xiao Cheng. My name is Cheng Siqi. My home is near the No. 1 Middle School in the original county. Do you work in the UK?"

Cheng Siqi was obviously very curious about this couple. Especially about this young boy, because she knew that there were not many people in Wannan County who could go to England five years ago. After shaking hands with Irene, she looked curious.

asked.

Liu Runping hadn't spoken his native dialect in southern Anhui for some years, and it turned out to be a bit jerky, half Mandarin and half dialect mixed together, which completely confused Irene. Because although she can't speak or write Chinese, she can understand it these years.

Understand Liu Runping speaking some simple Mandarin.

"Oh? No. 1 Middle School? Hahaha, it just so happens that I used to live in that area and graduated from No. 1 Middle School. It has been many years. I studied abroad at the University of Nottingham in the UK and I will graduate soon.

, planning to return to China."

"What a coincidence. It turns out that you are still a senior. I also graduated from No. 1 Middle School, but a few years later than you. I am still studying at Jiangnan University and will graduate in half a semester. I call you Brother Liu.

Don’t mind?”

Cheng Siqi was surprised that the young man in front of her who didn't look like he came from a small city at all actually graduated from Wannan No. 1 Middle School. Her curiosity grew more and more, but before she could continue the conversation, Aileen pulled Liu Runping and started talking.

Just a moment later, the bus slowly stopped at the station.

Liu Runping and Aileen didn't have much luggage. They had entrusted the masters of Carrefour Group's micro transport to help bring it back. The two of them could be considered to experience the journey, but obviously it was not Liu Runping who was excited along the way, but Ai Ai.

Lin.

After getting off the bus, the two were about to leave, but Liu Runping found strangely that he couldn't seem to find the direction because this was a newly built long-distance bus station. At this time, Cheng Siqi happened to walk over with a package and saw the two people.

He immediately thought of the two people's predicament, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Brother Liu, can't you find your home? Hahaha!"

"Hahaha, Cheng - I will call you Xiaoqi. You are really right. People from southern Anhui can't find their home when they come back, hahaha!"

Immediately, Cheng Siqi led the two of them out of the station. However, she forgot one thing, which was where Liu Runping's home was. Instead, she jumped into a taxi like a fool.

After greeting the two of them to get in the car, I remembered that I didn't seem to know where I was going.

"Where are you going?"

The taxi driver reminded them that Irene seemed to be very curious about everything and didn't care about the existence of the two of them at all, looking around like a curious doll.

"Brother Liu, let the master take you home first. Where is your home?"

"Send us to the Zhang family in southern Anhui!"

Liu Runping's words immediately stunned Cheng Siqi and the driver. However, he was not curious. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator and sped out. For people in southern Anhui, the Zhang family in southern Anhui has a very high status in their hearts. If it were not for southern Anhui,

Zhang family, I'm afraid Wannan City

Such a change would not happen. He didn't want to ask this young man dressed in a foreign style who was from the Zhang family in southern Anhui, but since the other party was going to the Zhang family, he must be a guest of the Zhang family. He looked at Liu Runping enthusiastically.

He smiled and didn't ask any questions.

"Brother Liu? Why are you going to Zhang's house?"

Cheng Siqi seemed to have guessed something, but she was a little unsure, but Liu Runping also didn't understand the expression on this little fellow's face. He didn't know that the location of his home had changed, and it had now become a landmark place in Wannan City.

Although Zhang Zhenyi had someone build the house, the man who made the final decision was still the Liu family. Zhang Zhenyi basically had no feelings about it. It seemed that the Zhang family and the Liu family were almost one family.

Not long after, the taxi stopped steadily. Cheng Siqi did not get out of the car. After the taxi driver left, Liu Runping and Aileen looked at the woods in front of them and the asphalt road covered with fallen leaves with strange expressions. They did not seem to see anything.

It's like his home place.

"My dear, don't tell me this is your home!"

Aileen looked at Liu Runping in surprise.

"Walk!"

Liu Runping pulled Irene and walked straight into the woods along the asphalt path. The two of them walked through the woods and saw a large castle-like building in front of them. The large iron gate did have Wannan Road 8 written on it.

No. 188 is the name of the Zhang family.

"Oh, my god, my dear, this house is as beautiful as the Queen's palace."

++If you don’t have time to modify it in the future, I will come back at night to modify it and upload it first! (To be continued...)
