"I understand." Xu Dong nodded, "Aunt Wang, when did you arrive?"
Xu Dong asked casually.
The last time he met with Aunt Wang was the last year, when it was the year before. He thought that the country was raging in floods, so he went back to attend the national mobilization meeting. Even the "Lina" was temporarily recruited to transport rescue materials.
"The plane yesterday afternoon was too late, so I didn't come to disturb you."
Wang Xiujuan replied with a smile.
"Aunt Wang, I've long wanted to say congratulations to you in person. Brother Zhang finally made it through this time."
Xu Dong immediately sent congratulations.
Southern New South Wales is the state with the largest population and the highest level of industrialization and urbanization in Kangaroo. It has a total area of 800,000 square kilometers. It is definitely ranked among the top five within the Asia-Public Interchange. It is a veritable economic state.
If the Kangaroo Country had not been a small population, with a population of less than 120 million, according to the domestic zoning standards, it could be divided into at least three states and even had coastlines.
This is very rare and valuable!
In a word, this governor is very heavy.
Aunt Wang smiled so hard that her face was full of wrinkles: "Speaking of this, I have to thank you for this matter! I heard from Zhang Kai that you have brought people to invest in many projects with him, otherwise he would not have achieved what he has today."
"I'm not right, what's the relationship between our two companies? Besides, these are normal business transactions, and I didn't suffer any losses, and I made a lot of profits?"
Xu Dong waved his hand.
"Yes, it's just a simple task, so you're welcome." Xu Ma followed and agreed.
After some politeness, Xu Ma asked about the situation in the capital. After all, she hadn't been back for many years, and she didn't know what the old house had turned into.
After all, Wang Xiujuan is old and has just said a lot of things. She is also excited and has a little breathing, so she can only answer Zhang Xue.
"Grandma, the capital has recovered very quickly in the past two years. There were rumors that it would move the capital. Now it seems that it is impossible, but it has stabilized a lot of people's hearts."
"Oh? The file is out?"
Xu Dong was a little surprised.
Since he retired, he has rarely paid attention to domestic news. At most, he just reads the news station and has learned very limited information.
Zhang Xue nodded: "The above plan to rebuild a large railway connecting Asia and Europe, starting from the capital in the east and ending at Lundun in the west, with a total investment of up to trillions of yuan.
I also listened to my dad's analysis. If the superiors really want to move the capital, it is absolutely impossible to invest so much money. It not only has economic accounts, but also political significance."
"Are you sure?" Xu Dong asked quickly.
"It should be confirmed. It is said that the preliminary survey has been conducted. As for the specific situation, godfather, you can ask my dad, he should know it more clearly."
"Okay, when your dad is finished, I'll visit him in person."
"Goddad, in fact, I won't move the capital, there is another layer of considerations on it." Zhang Xue added immediately.
“How to say it?”
"You also know that our old Zhao works in the Meteorological Bureau. According to him, with the continuous decline in sea levels, at most ten years, the entire eastern waters will become new land.
At that time, an area of two million square kilometers will be added. Daxia, Southern Dynasties and Nisang will be connected together, and the entire Nisang Sea will become an inland sea, with great potential for future development."
"No?" Yang Lina said in surprise, "According to what you said, wouldn't Yanjing be too far behind? Will you move eastward yet?"
"If you won't move eastward, there are many earthquakes and volcanoes near Nisang, and the coast is not suitable for being a capital. In fact, distance is not a problem. At most, you can build a few more water pipelines and dig artificial canals directly,"
Zhang Xue explained casually.
She works in the water conservancy system and knows more about this than ordinary people. Currently, major cities have complete water supply pipelines, and the location restrictions are not absolute.
Even the inland areas have developed well.
This is also a fundamental reason why the immigration wave has fallen into a trough. The country has been improving water supply pipelines for decades, and now it has finally seen the results.
Xu's mother was not interested in moving the capital at all. The old man interrupted directly: "Xiaoxue, is the old house of grandma still there? Has anyone occupied it?"
"Grandma, don't worry. I went to see it specifically before I left. Although the house was half collapsed, the land was still there. My brother is here to help you look at it!"
"That's great." Xu's mother turned to look at her younger son: "Third brother, mom wants to go back to Yanjing to have a look, and then go back to her hometown Luyang. Please arrange it for me."
"Mom, I can go back for you. You are in poor health, so don't take risks. Long-distance travel is not a joke."
Xu Dong quickly persuaded.
"Yes, mom, don't joke about your body. Little bread will get married in ten years. You still have to hold your great-grandson!"
Yang Lina followed and agreed.
Xu Ma was unmoved: "Can't you take a plane now? Your Aunt Wang is about the same age as your mother, and she can do it, why can't Mom?"
"Old Zhang, you should stop being arrogant. I am five years younger than you, and I haven't flown straight over.
I took several flights in the middle, and I took a break for half a month. I almost killed half of my life. I wasn't kidding you."
Wang Xiujuan helped persuade.
"Mom, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about them, right? They usually rely on you the most, so you can't make them sad, right?"
Yang Lina continued to persuade.
She knew that her mother-in-law's weakness was the children.
Xu Ma thought about it and finally sighed:
"Okay, I won't go. You and the boss will set off in a few days, first repair the old house, and then go back to Luyang. Our family hasn't been back to visit the graves for many years, and I don't know if our cemetery is still there?"
"It should be still here? I donated a lot of money to my hometown a few years ago, and I specially asked them to help take care of my great-grandfather and his cemetery. It's OK."
Xu Dong quickly comforted him.
"It's fine. When your father is still here, the most worrying thing is the cemetery at home. When I'm gone in a few years, you remember that you must bring my ashes and your father's ashes back to your hometown. People will always fall leaves to their roots."
Xu Ma said earnestly.
Wang Xiujuan waved her hand on the spot:
"Old Zhang, don't say such unlucky words. I see that you are very tough and look younger than me. We will have longer days later!
Besides, you have so many great grandchildren and great granddaughter. Look at how painful the children are, don’t tell me, you are really willing to leave like this?"
"Time is here, it's not OK to leave!"
Xu Ma sighed.
Their old man left suddenly.
There was no sign at all, and it was gone if it was said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere became more and more sad, Yang Lina quickly changed the topic:
