The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter Thirty-Seven Donation for Road Construction

In the other bedroom, Miles Shigui and Han Zhiqian couldn't sleep.

"Matthew, I feel like it's like a dream. This place is different from what I thought. Except for the fact that their clothes are not modern and fashionable, their temperament is no worse than anyone we have ever seen."

Cheng Shigui pinched him hard, "Oh! You are so cruel." Han Zhiqian grinned and rubbed the pinched area.

"It's not a dream!" Cheng Shigui said, looking sideways at him in the dark. "Except for her age, her knowledge, experience, and skills are enough to convince me."

"Me too, this red continent is so mysterious and unpredictable. I really came at the right time." Han Zhiqian said with a smile. "Grandpa Cheng didn't expect you to have such an opportunity at the time."[

"Who knows! I should have been designed to come here! Now I should thank them." Cheng Shigui said, "Why bother worrying about the past? In fact, it's not bad here, breathing fresh air and eating delicious food.

Like us breathing car exhaust."

"If you don't tell me, you really underestimated this small place. The food is the best I have ever eaten." Han Zhiqian smacked his mouth, but he still didn't finish his words.

"Okay, stop being greedy and go to sleep! Aren't you tired?"

The next morning, Fang Monan woke up Mobei and his aunt, and told them that they should start exercising from childhood. They got up to exercise as usual. Grandma got up an hour before them and steamed steamed buns. Obviously, this disturbed Cheng Shigui and Han Zhiqian.

, they also got up. They rubbed their eyes and watched curiously as they were busy. They got up and started working before dawn.

Fang Monan was about to go out when he saw the two of them inviting him: "Now that you're up, do you want to go for a run with us?"

"Ah! I still don't want it, it's so cold." Han Zhiqian took a breath of cold air, wrapped himself in clothes, rubbed his hands, and refused.

"What about you?" She looked at Cheng Shigui and raised her chin.

"Okay!" Cheng Shigui said, buttoning up his clothes. "Let's go!" Han Zhiqian watched them leave, then went back to take a nap.

My aunt is exercising purely to watch Mo Bei, so they are the slowest and slowly fall to the end. Mr. Lin, Fang Monan, and Cheng Shigui jogged for two kilometers. The air here is obviously better than that in Hong Kong, and there is less traffic.

The air in the morning is fresh, and I feel refreshed and warm after running down.

Fang Monan and the others went to the backyard again, first to see that today's 'greenhouse vegetables' were growing well, and then they started boxing. When Mr. Lin was in the mood, he would do some boxing techniques from the army. The boxing techniques were simple, brutal, and full of murderous moves.

Cheng Shigui seemed to be very excited and eager to give it a try. He started to compete with Mr. Lin. As you can imagine, Cheng Shigui lost miserably.

"Boy, that's good! I've practiced it before." Mr. Lin said happily. Few people picked up his moves. This time he played the most energetically. He hadn't been this happy for a long time. Nannan could only play Tai Chi with him, so she had to make do.

Yes, it's too small.

"Well!" Cheng Shigui was very depressed. People really cannot be compared with the younger ones. Even he couldn't beat the old man. He had learned judo and taekwondo at home and practiced with his family's bodyguards. He didn't expect that he couldn't beat the old man.

"Brother Cheng, don't be discouraged. This old man has been on the battlefield. You can't compare to him. You will never be able to match his murderous aura." Fang Monan came over and patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"Oh!" Cheng Shigui looked at Mr. Lin, the old man, with suspicion.

"Don't believe it. When it comes to his great achievements, it would take three days and three nights to describe them all." Fang Monan said.

When Mr. Lin mentioned what happened back then, seeing that he didn't believe it, the old man got excited, pulled him into the house, and began to praise him about his prosperous years.

Fang Monan saw that they were chatting enthusiastically, and it was time to make breakfast. He watched his grandma finish her work, and then they went into the kitchen together. Soon breakfast was ready. Millet porridge, steamed buns, pickled cucumbers, pickled cabbage, smoked

Rabbit meat, bacon, etc. are refreshing and delicious.

After the meal, Cheng Shigui unpacked the TV and moved it out with Han Zhiqian. Liang Zi climbed up the ladder to install the outdoor antenna and debug it. At this time, there was only one station, CCTV.[

Grandma and the helper watched the TV with curiosity and were extremely happy. Fang Monan had no interest in what could be called an 'antique TV'.

The hired help asked in a low voice who the two new handsome boys were! Grandma explained to them one by one what happened at home.

***************************

Fang Monan looked at the bankbook in his hand and saw that Cheng Shigui and the others had come up with an idea. He wanted to discuss it with the old man and the others first.

It was nearing the end of the year, and my mother was very busy and had to work overtime again. My aunt went back to her room to read and study, sharpening her knife to prepare for next year's college entrance examination. Fang Monan and the others were sitting in Mr. Lin's room. Fang Monan winked, and grandma took the bankbook in her hand.

He came out and handed it to him. "This is..." The old man opened it and found that the account was Fang Monan's, with a very attractive 1 million. His eyes narrowed and returned to normal, "Sister, what does this mean..."

"Cheng Shigui gave it to me. I want to donate the money to build the gravel road leading to Dachengzi's home, which is the feed factory. That road becomes too muddy to walk on when it rains. Now it can be built with cement.

The pavement will make it easier for cars to travel. 'If you want to be rich, build roads first', even for the future development of the feed mill." Grandma said it according to what she had discussed with her granddaughter in advance.

After Fang Monan finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Shigui and said, "I have to ask you two to come forward for this."

"You are so generous." Han Zhiqian muttered.

"Okay, we should establish a good relationship with the local government." Cheng Shigui said, they have deep experience in these special zones.

It is estimated that it is already dawn at this time, and with the gossip speed of Chinese people, the news about Fang Monan and his family will soon spread throughout the country.

Mr. Lin understood the meaning behind her words, and looked at the little man meaningfully, "Nanny, this bankbook is written in your name. It is deposited in HSBC Bank in Hong Kong, and it is in US dollars." "I don't think you can withdraw it."

Come out, you have no choice but to do this! Now you can honestly tell me who they are here for, to fool Da, Xiaoyan and the others, stop talking." I looked like I didn't believe it, so tell the truth.

"Hehe... The old man is wise. They came for me. Grandpa, do you remember the coats I designed for you and your parents? I sent these drawings to the special zone. A blind cat met a dead mouse, and it got into their hands. Fortunately,

I was appreciated by them and sent a lot of money one after another. Of course I earned the money." Fang Monan said with some reservations.

Cheng Shigui and the others looked at each other, listened to her words, and did not expose her. They also echoed: "Yes! The clothes designed by Nan Nan are very popular."

"You are really a little money man. You are really not afraid of tigers." Mr. Lin pointed her little nose and said: "Tell me! You, a little money man, do not want to engage in loss-making business."

"Grandpa, am I such a philistine? Can't I contribute to Uncle Dachengzi in the village? Give back to the society!" Fang Monan said in a high-sounding, righteous and serious manner, "Of course, if they improve our living conditions or

You're welcome." She said playfully.

"Nanny, this is one million U.S. dollars, not RMB. You should know that the country is short of foreign exchange today. This is ten million dollars on the black market." Mr. Lin said in detail.

When she heard ten million, her grandma took a breath and looked at her with wide eyes, "This...Nan...Nan, isn't this RMB? When did it become US dollars?"

"Oh! Is there any difference? I'm planning to donate anyway, so why should I hesitate?" Fang Monan said.

"Nanny, your calculations are very clever. Once the road is opened, production can be increased, and the feed mill will earn more, and you will earn more. And the money donated by Agui, judging from the current situation,

The state encourages foreign capital and overseas Chinese to return to the country to invest. It can be said that it will be more convenient for them or us to do things in the county in the future. You will get more." Mr. Lin's objective analysis, these are obvious, but the deeper level is that their country is

In an official-based country, even though it is socialist, the long-term feudal system cannot change people's inherent thinking habits. It is necessary to have a good relationship with the officials.

"Grandpa, can't you just say it so clearly? Can't you understand it tacitly?" Fang Monan pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"Humph! Only people say that. To outsiders, of course they love the country, the people, the party, and the government."

"Pfft" "Grandpa, according to you, I love the Kuomintang." When Fang Monan heard his words, he thought of a joke.[

"Haha..." Cheng Shigui and the others also laughed.

"Bah, bah, children's words are taboo, don't say nonsense." Grandma was so frightened that she covered her mouth and her body trembled.

"Yes! I understand, and I won't say it again in the future." Fang Monan opened his grandma's hand and promised.

"You girl, it's better not to talk like this in the future. We are all scared." Mr. Lin felt sad.

"Okay, how can we let them improve our lives?" Mr. Lin changed the subject.

Cheng Shigui first said: "We must install a phone so that we can communicate easily." Han Zhiqian also nodded desperately.

"And install running water in our house, so that grandma doesn't have to press the well or go to the Bureau of Culture and Education to wash her clothes. It seems that that's all for now!" Fang Monan thought about it.

"These are all trivial matters." Mr. Lin reminded, for now, they can mention something else.

"What is a small matter to them is a big deal to us ordinary people." Fang Monan always looks at issues from the standpoint of the bottom class of society.

"What else can I mention?" Grandma looked at him in confusion and asked.

"Alas!" Mr. Lin sighed and cheered up, "We can contract the wasteland and barren mountains over the Xishan Mountains, with this in hand." He held up the bankbook in his hand, "Nothing is a problem, and you can also enjoy the policies after contracting.

Support and preferential conditions, this is the result Nannan wants!"

"I'm very curious, when did Grandpa Lin have this idea?" Fang Monan feels that the future of domestic reform is bright, but the road is bumpy and repetitive, and without strong relationships, who knows if any accidents will happen. Remember to read the information.

When the policy trend changed, some people handed over their hard-working companies to the state, and some even ran away. She really has not decided to contract the barren hills now, and the name of the feed factory is Dachengzi Village. All the villagers are shareholders, and the company

It is also a collective ownership system. The feed factory is doing well, and the villagers are working extra hard.

"The greenhouse vegetable plan you gave me gave me a plan in my mind. It was only when I saw the wasteland in front of Lingshan Mountain when I went up the mountain to worship Buddha that I finally had a blueprint." Mr. Lin said with a smile.

Cheng Shigui said: "It will be easier if we take the lead."

Fang Monan heard his proposal and thought about it carefully. It was feasible. Of course, contracting the barren hills was not for growing vegetables, but for the fruits in the space. The vegetables had a background. In addition, some spaces would be overrun with livestock.

animal.

Since everyone agrees, let's go right away without further ado.

*************************

Cheng Shigui, Han Zhiqian and the others drove directly into the county party committee compound.

As soon as their car drove in, a large number of people gathered around to watch. Mr. Lin led Cheng Shigui and the others directly to County Magistrate Wang. It happened that Magistrate Wang (Wang Binghua) was also there. He was flipping through the newspaper on his desk.

I had nothing to do at home on Sunday, so I came over. There was a teacup on the table, and tea smoke was curling up.

"Dong dong! Come in." He thought in confusion. He didn't go to work today, and even his secretary informed him that he didn't need to accompany him. Who would come to him at this time? He still said loudly.

As soon as he saw the person coming, he stood up, walked over and said with a smile: "Old man, why is it you!" He came here by air from the capital, and thought he was just making a transition here. This county is located in the plains and mainly relies on food.

As long as there are no major problems in agriculture, it will be fine. It has no characteristics and is just an ordinary county.

So when I had free time, I had to wander around and pick up books. Unexpectedly, I met Mr. Lin because he also loved reading. They met when they were picking up books, and after talking, they became book friends. He clearly knew that the old man was a person with a lot of troubles in his heart.

Maybe it's because the times have hit him too hard, and he's getting older, so he just wants to live a stable life, but this doesn't stop Mr. Lin from making contributions to his hometown.

However, Mr. Lin gave him a huge gift. Last year, the production and sales of greenhouse vegetables and breeding industries were booming. Not only did the farmers under his management increase their income, but the county's finances also increased. He was praised by both the province and the city.

, when I got home, I was praised by my father for the first time, even though it only had one word, 'good'.

Mr. Lin looked around. The county magistrate's office was old and the paint on the desks and chairs was peeling off. However, the office supplies were complete and the bookcases at the back were neatly placed with books. The whole office felt clean and tidy, just like him.

Like most people, they are pragmatic.

County Magistrate Wang looked at the two strangers behind him. They were well-dressed and elegant. At first glance, they were not locals.

"These two are..." County Magistrate Wang led them to the reception area. After the four of them sat down, he personally poured them tea.

Mr. Lin introduced: "These two are relatives of the Mo family girls, Cheng Shigui and Han Zhiqian, who came from Hong Kong."

"Welcome, welcome overseas travelers to return home to visit relatives." County Magistrate Wang stood up and extended his hand, but he was wondering what they were doing here.

Cheng Shigui and the others also stood up, shook hands, and sat down again.

Cheng Shigui and Han Zhiqian looked at each other. This county magistrate didn't look like an ordinary person! Hearing where they came from, he was enthusiastic and reserved, without any flattery.

"I heard that the county's finances are much richer, but why is your office still so simple?" Mr. Lin said with a pleased smile.

County Magistrate Wang said casually: "I can make do with these, don't worry." He smiled bitterly and said: "We are rich! There are more places to spend money now. Even if you want to repair rural roads, you can't get enough money. As you know, from now on

How difficult it is to transport vegetables out of the village. Road construction is a costly job, and many people are blocking it. They just say that there is not enough money, and it will not be too late to repair it when enough is enough."

, "Haha... It seems that I really came to the right place today." Mr. Lin laughed, "'If you want to be rich, build roads first', you must have mentioned it."

"Well! 'If you want to be rich, build roads first', this slogan is good. It's a pity that other people always want to wait until they have enough money, but time waits for no one!" said County Magistrate Wang.

Mr. Lin directly explained the purpose of his visit: "The two of them are here to donate money to build roads."

"Ah! I wonder where the two of you are superior." County Magistrate Wang asked calmly.

Cheng Shigui cursed in his heart, "I guess I thought it was only for small amounts that I was so calm!" "We opened a small clothing factory in the special zone, Yiren Clothing Co., Ltd."

"Is the Yiren store in Jingcheng owned by your company?" County Magistrate Wang suddenly remembered and asked casually.

"Yes!" Han Zhiqian replied.

County Magistrate Wang knew the name of their company, but he didn't expect it! The Mo family was actually related to them. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked calmly: "Those two..."

"In order to support the construction of our hometown, we plan to donate 1 million US dollars." Cheng Shigui said directly.

"How much?" County Magistrate Wang heard the number. Although he was already ecstatic, he still asked uncertainly. They had long wanted to build a road from the county to the countryside. Unfortunately, the county was poor, and he could go up there.

Part of it would be reduced, but it would only be a drop in the bucket. The most important thing would be to rely on self-raised funds. There was no way, there was a shortage of money everywhere.

Mr. Lin solemnly said: "One million US dollars."

"This... is true. Wait a minute, you are talking about U.S. dollars." He murmured to himself and quickly suppressed his emotions. "If he operates well now, he can get more funds."

"However, there is a problem, that is, the money is in the HSBC Bank in Hong Kong. You have to find a way to send someone to get it yourself." Mr. Lin said with a smile. With the energy of this kid and his family, it is probably a trivial matter.

When Mr. Lin wanted to take out his passbook, he was blocked by Cheng Shigui, "This is a check." He wrote a check on the spot and handed it to County Magistrate Wang. The account on the passbook was Nannan's name, which was difficult to explain.

"Just this difficult problem, I thought it was a big deal!" County Magistrate Wang said easily. "Thank you so much, thank you for supporting the construction of my hometown." He stood up and shook their hands solemnly.

"It's nothing, aren't our roots here?" Cheng Shigui said emotionally.

County Magistrate Wang heard this and said, "Then I really need to thank Auntie Mo."

"That's not necessary. As long as the people who need to know know, she doesn't want to make it known to everyone and disturb her life." Mr. Lin's words are reasonable. People who should know know, so just block the little devil for them.

good.

County Magistrate Wang nodded, knowing clearly the destructive power of rumors.

County Magistrate Wang knew that Aunt Mo’s family had set up a steamed bun stall and always wanted to check in at the right time, so he asked: “Does Aunt Mo’s family have any difficulties in life?”

"It's true. She wants to install a telephone at home." Cheng Shigui said, "This will make it easier for us to contact her."

"This is easy to handle."

Mr. Lin saw that he was very sensible and took the opportunity to propose. "In addition, Agui and the others also want to contract nearly 1,000 acres of barren hills and wasteland near Lingshan Mountain in the west. Of course, Lingshan Mountain is not included. The contracting fee for 1,000 acres of barren hills is 4 per mu per year.

Calculated in dollars, the contract period is 50 years, which requires 200,000 yuan. They paid the 200,000 yuan contract fee to the county in one lump sum to show their sincerity."

"Of course the purpose of building a farm in the barren hills will not damage the local environment." Cheng Shigui followed up.

"It's true. Great! Greening the barren hills, great!" County Magistrate Wang did not expect that the new year would come soon, but good things happened one after another, and it was a good start. As for what they proposed, "It is easy to install a telephone.

I can make the decision, but the contracting matter needs to be studied by our county committee." He paused and reassured: "It shouldn't be a big problem, you have to wait for two days."

Cheng Shigui looked at him hesitantly, "It's too urgent to come here. The company still has a lot of things to do. Let's leave the contracting of the barren mountain to my cousin and the others!" "By the way, this is the membership card of the Beijing specialty store. Go

There are discounts on consumption." Cheng Shigui took out a membership card from his jacket pocket and handed it to County Magistrate Wang.

"This... no need!" County Magistrate Wang looked at the membership card and waved his hand to refuse.

Han Zhiqian said: "This is just a commercial promotion behavior, there is nothing inappropriate."

"Yeah! Okay then." County Magistrate Wang accepted.

Seeing that the matter was done, Cheng Shigui and the others were about to say goodbye and leave. County Magistrate Wang tried his best to persuade them to stay, but Cheng Shigui said: "It would be my greatest gratitude to them to take more care of my cousin's family."

After returning home and informing Fang Monan of the outcome, Cheng Shigui asked Mr. Lin in surprise, "Old man, that county magistrate must have an extraordinary family background!"

"Hey! Why do you ask that?" Mr. Lin said in surprise.

"Intuition." Cheng Shigui frowned, "Because the feeling he gives me is different from the ordinary officials I have seen. Especially his behavior and movements have the calmness and grandeur of a noble family."

Mr. Lin thought to himself, 'This boy has really poisonous eyes, but the tutoring of the old Wang family is very strict.' He pretended to be crazy and said: "I don't understand this from the aristocratic family, but his knowledge is very good. The two of us are book friends."

Han Zhiqian said: "No wonder you gave him the membership card."

Cheng Shigui no longer dwelled on this issue. He looked at the county magistrate with an upright look in his eyes. In doing business, he focused on being friendly and making money. Besides, he was the parent official of this county, so there was no harm in making more friends.
