Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong
Chapter 524: A trip to visit relatives (two in one)
Peixian County is located at the junction of Su and Shandong provinces and belongs to Xu City under Su Province.
Peixian County has a long history and rich resources. It is the main coal producing area in Jiangsu Province and East China. However, these are not the reasons why people are familiar with this place. It is familiar to Chinese people because it is the birthplace of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.
At the end of August, Lin Baicheng's family, except Lin Qin who was studying in the United States, all went to Peixian County.
Lin Baicheng only brought two bodyguards with him on this trip. The main job of the bodyguards was not to protect them, but to help them get their things.
When Lin Baicheng and his party arrived in Su City, the reception staff arranged by domestic officials met them, and then followed Lin Baicheng and his party to Xu City. When they arrived in Xu City, the commissioners arranged by Xu City followed them to Peixian County.
Peixian County is not the final destination for Lin Baicheng and others. Yangtun Commune under Peixian County and Xiahe Village under Yangtun Commune are where Lin Baicheng and others really want to go.
When passing through Peixian County, Peixian County also arranged for two commissioners to lead the way and follow. The superior leaders had instructed the county to entertain Hong Kong businessmen who came to visit relatives in the mainland.
On the afternoon of Sunday, August 26, Lin Baicheng and others arrived at Yangtun Commune.
"Mr. Lin, the car can only go here. It can't go to Xiahe Village."
The highest-ranking leader among the reception staff said to Lin Baicheng.
"Excuse me, Director Chen."
Lin Baicheng jumped out of the big truck, and the two bodyguards who had already got off the truck were supporting him, even though Lin Baicheng didn't need it.
That’s right, Lin Baicheng and others came to Yangtun Commune in a T138 truck. It’s not that there are no cars in China. At first, Lin Baicheng and others also took cars. But then the road conditions became worse and worse. After arriving in Peixian County, they After switching to a truck, riding in a truck is actually more comfortable than riding in a car.
"Mr. Lin, you're welcome."
Chen Xingjun said aloud: "Mr. Lin, please wait a moment. I'll go talk to the director of Yangtun Commune and the senior officials of the regiment and ask them to find a few people to help pick up the things."
"Let me come along and say hello."
Lin Baicheng immediately said that if you want people to help you, you have to go over and say hello.
Chen Xingjun didn't say no, and they immediately walked towards the people who were walking towards them. It was the president of Yangtun Commune and senior officials of the regiment who came to pick them up with a few cadres.
Commune cadres in this era don't look much different from ordinary farmers, making people feel friendly to them.
The director of Yangtun Commune is named Yang Guowei, and the senior official of the regiment is named Wang Changhe. Both of them are about forty years old. Fortunately, both of them can speak Mandarin, so Lin Baicheng has no problem communicating with them.
If Yang Guowei and Wang Changhe spoke local dialects to Lin Baicheng, Lin Baicheng would be dumbfounded and would have to have someone translate.
After saying hello, with the help of Yang Guowei, Wang Changhe and other cadres, they found several donkey carts and put the materials brought by Lin Baicheng and others on the donkey carts for transportation, so that no manpower was needed to carry them.
Lin Baicheng and others could also choose to sit on the donkey cart, but Lin Baicheng and others declined, saying that they could just walk and enjoy the scenery on the road.
It takes about fifteen to twenty minutes to walk from Yangtun Commune to Xiahe Village, which is not a long journey. However, let alone cement roads in this era, there is not even a decent gravel road from Xiahe Village to Yangtun Commune. It is full of potholes, making traveling when it rains most inconvenient.
"Director Chen, I want to ask you something."
Lin Baicheng chatted with Chen Xingjun and other accompanying personnel.
"Mr. Lin, please speak."
Chen Xingjun came from the Provincial Party Committee of Jiangsu Province and was also the director. His level as director was much higher than that of Yang Guowei. If he were transferred to Xu City, he would also be a high-level leading cadre at the municipal party committee level.
After all, Lin Baicheng and others' visit this time was not a business visit, so the official did not arrange for high-level cadres to accompany them, lest it be rumored that they were serving "capitalists", which would be bad for both parties.
"It can be seen that the conditions in both Yangtun Commune and Xiahe Village are not very good. I didn't know before that there was nothing that could be done. Now that I know, it would be unreasonable to remain indifferent."
"So, I want to do something for Xiahe Village or even Yangtun Commune in the name of my parents. I don't know if this is allowed here in China."
Lin Baicheng is now a super rich man. He didn't know about the difficulties his relatives were going through. But now that he knows but does nothing, he feels that it can't be justified.
Chen Xingjun asked: "I wonder what Mr. Lin wants to do?"
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This principle applies to the whole world. I am going to use my mother's name to fund the construction of a cement road from Xiahe Village to Yangtun Commune, and then build a cement road from Yangtun Commune to Pei County. Build it. I will prepare all the materials and equipment needed for the road, and even if construction workers are needed, I will pay them to do the construction, so that the residents of Xiahe Village and Yangtun Commune will have a road that is convenient for traveling."
Lin Baicheng expressed his thoughts. It was not easy to give money directly, and he had to worry about whether it would be misappropriated. In this case, it was better to build a road for the local area to facilitate travel, and maybe it could also improve the local economic level.
As soon as Lin Baicheng finished speaking, Yang Guowei and Wang Changhe who were not far away suddenly became excited. If there were not many superior leaders here, they would have expressed their gratitude and accepted Lin Baicheng's kindness.
"This is a good thing, of course there is no problem. I would like to thank Mr. Lin here on behalf of the local people."
Chen Xingjun was not polite or hesitant when he heard this. He had already been told what he could and could not agree to before he came. Lin Baicheng had no problem spending money to build roads.
Lin Baicheng said: "In addition, I am also planning to use my father's name to fund the construction of a primary school for Xiahe Village, a primary school and a middle school for Yangtun Commune, and a primary school and middle school for Pei County."
"Thank you Mr. Lin for your kind deed!"
This is a good thing, and Chen Xingjun has no reason to refuse.
Lin Baicheng said: "We will build the school by then, but the arrangement of the teachers depends on the government at all levels."
Chen Xingjun immediately said: "Mr. Lin, please rest assured, we will make arrangements."
Lin Baicheng nodded and said nothing more. Since he is ready to help his uncle and the others, of course he has to do more than that, but he hasn't arrived in Xiahe Village yet. He will wait until he understands the situation in Xiahe Village.
When Lin Baicheng and others were about to arrive at Xiahe Village, they saw many people waiting at the entrance of the village, but it was Yang Guowei who asked people to go to Xiahe Village first to inform them.
"Uncle! Brother-in-law!" "Lan Yatou!"
Although they had not seen each other for almost thirty years, the appearance of adults would not change much in the future, so Lin's mother, Zhao Huilan, recognized her two uncles at a glance. And her two uncles could tell that Zhao Huilan was their niece through her appearance that was somewhat similar to her mother.
Seeing each other again after an absence of about thirty years, the three of them cried with joy and burst into tears.
In this situation, no one went to disturb them, not even Lin Haishan went to persuade Zhao Huilan. He knew that Zhao Huilan wanted to vent the emotions in her heart at this moment.
Lin Baicheng said to Chen Xingjun at this time: "Director Chen, I won't say any more words of thanks, I will keep them in my heart. Now that we have arrived at Xiahe Village, I won't waste your precious time."
"Mr. Lin, you're welcome. The task assigned to me by my superiors is to serve you, Mr. Lin, during this period. If you have any needs, you can pass them on to me."
After saying that, Chen Xingjun changed the topic and said: "However, we will not disturb Mr. Lin and your family reunion. We will stay in Yangtun Commune temporarily for a while. Mr. Lin, if you have any needs, you can ask someone Contact us at Yangtun Commune.”
"Excuse me, Director Chen and everyone."
Before Chen Xingjun and the others left, they called Yang Zhenxing, the captain of Xiahe Village, and first introduced him to Lin Baicheng, asking Lin Baicheng to contact Yang Zhenxing directly if he had any needs. Then they called Yang Zhenxing aside and told Yang Zhenxing some things.
After the emotions in her heart were vented, a few minutes later, Zhao Huilan called Lin Haishan, Lin Baicheng and Lin Shufang over and introduced them to her two uncles.
"Uncle, uncle, let me introduce you. This is my husband Lin Haishan. When I first came to Xiangjiang, thanks to him, I had a bite to eat and survived. These two are my children. , my daughter Lin Shufang is the eldest, my son Lin Baicheng is the second, and I also have a youngest daughter Lin Qin, who is currently studying in the United States, and we can’t come together this time.”
Zhao Huilan first introduced her family, and then introduced her two uncles, uncle Zhao Dashan and younger uncle Zhao Dahe, to Lin Baicheng and the others.
"Hello, great uncles!"
Lin Baicheng and Lin Shufang greeted the old man respectfully.
"Okay, so are you!"
The two elderly people are already about seventy years old, but their bodies look quite strong. At least they are able to walk on their own without using crutches.
Immediately afterwards, the two uncles and uncles introduced their respective families to Lin Baicheng and the others.
Zhao Dashan has a total of three sons and four daughters, all of whom are married and established businesses. Since all four daughters are married nearby, they are all here today, but they came by themselves and did not bring their families.
The three sons were all in Xiahe Village, so they brought their respective families over. There were eleven children in total, one of whom was even in his arms.
Zhao Dahe originally had four sons and three daughters, but one of the sons died when he was a child. Only three sons and three daughters grew up and started their own families. One of the daughters married a little far away, so she did not come here today, but the other two daughters did coming.
As for the remaining three sons, they have a total of thirteen children. The youngest one is also held in his mother's arms and is only one or two years old.
In today's era, we believe in "more people are more powerful", especially in rural areas, so every household has many children. Today, there is no national policy of "family planning". This was in the 1980s.
"Hello, cousin! Hello, aunt!"
Lin Baicheng and Lin Shufang greeted their elders.
"Hello, cousin, cousin!" "Hello, cousin! Hello, cousin!"
After that, it was Lin Baicheng's peers who greeted him.
After getting to know each other, Lin Baicheng and others were brought into Xiahe Village. As for the things they brought, of course they had to have help take them in.
Suddenly, relatives came to the originally peaceful countryside, and they brought many things with them. Of course, the villagers were curious. They looked curiously at the roadside and watched with envy as each item was delivered.
Lin Baicheng and others went to the home of their great-uncle Zhao Dashan first, but their great-uncle's home was just above, and the two families were very close to each other.
Lin Baicheng brought a lot of things this time, so he could only put them in the open spaces in the courtyards of the two families. There was not enough space for them in the room, not to mention that they had not been allocated yet.
However, after everything was moved in from the donkey cart, Lin Baicheng handed the things he brought to the villagers to the team leader Zhao Zhenxing, and asked Zhao Zhenxing to distribute them to each family according to their share. Before coming here, he asked how many households there were in Xiahe Village, so he bought the corresponding number of items, and each household received the same amount.
Although some families will have larger populations, and some families may have more difficulties, Lin Baicheng cannot make such a specific distribution. What he can do is to give equal items to each family to make it as fair as possible.
After that, in addition to the toys for the children, the children of the two uncles and uncles were also allocated the same amount of items. Even the married daughters had the same share, but they naturally received more items than the villagers. .
Finally, there are the things that are given to the two uncles and uncles individually. Except for some items specially bought for the elderly, the basic materials are distributed to the elderly themselves.
Of course, when giving something to them, some courtesy is inevitable.
That night, the Zhao family held a banquet in the yard. The two large families, plus Lin Baicheng's family of four and two bodyguards, totaled more than forty people. The house could not accommodate so many people eating together.
Even if there is a banquet in the courtyard, there are five tables.
With the things sent by Lin Baicheng and the others, plus a New Year pig and two chickens and ducks specially killed today, it can be said that tonight's meal is very rich. Anyway, the children are very greedy. They have been eating since they were young. Never had such a good meal.
Even during the Chinese New Year in previous years, the food was not so good. A few bites of meat would be good.
“It’s really lively with so many people!”
Seeing the scene of the big family eating together, Lin Baicheng sighed with emotion and couldn't help but think about how he would create a big family in the future, surrounded by his children, and every festival would be lively.
That night, Lin Baicheng and his family stayed at the house of his uncle and grandpa. They specially vacated three rooms, and the others temporarily went to the homes of relatives and friends. There was no way, the rooms were limited, and there was no room available to entertain guests. In the past, several children were crowded into one room.
At the same time, the beds in each room were not good, but Lin Baicheng and the others were mentally prepared for this. Fortunately, the bedding and pillows they slept on were brand new bedding and pillows sent by them, and they were clean.
