"Okay, please use one of the city government's cars for your convenience. After all, this is a patriotic businessman, and we have to show our dignity." The mayor directly assigned a car to Xu Wenlong.
Early the next morning, Xu Wenlong came to the guest house early, and Guo Yongren got up early. Although the conditions here cannot be compared with those big hotels in Hong Kong, they are much better than the average ones. At least there is hot water at all times.
Guo Yongren had just had breakfast when Xu Wenlong came over. When he saw Xu Wenlong, Guo Yongren asked, "Uncle Xu, have you had breakfast? If not, have some."
"I have eaten. It depends on whether you have eaten. If you have eaten, we will set off directly. The road conditions are not very good. We still need a certain amount of time." Xu Wenlong said directly. Guo Xing nodded.
"I've eaten, let's go." Guo Yongren was not a sloppy person. Xu Wenlong and Guo Yongren got to the back row of the car, and Fang Zhanzhan sat on the passenger seat.
Xu Wenlong deliberately did not bring his secretary. Knowing that there were two people here in Guo Yongren, if he brought his secretary with him, he would definitely not be able to sit down. The car drove out of the guest house and drove directly to Hudong.
The Shanghai market has not yet developed, and the east of Shanghai is a wasteland with uneven ground. It is still not close to Guojiacun. Guo Yongren and Xu Wenlong chatted happily along the way.
Wei Ming told Guo Yongren that Xu Wenlong was a smoker. When Guo Yongren took out a cigarette, handed it to Xu Wenlong, and lit it for Xu Wenlong, the two of them puffed away for a while and became much closer, smoking buddies.
It was almost noon when the car arrived at Guojia Village. Guo Mingde, the village chief of Guojia Village, received a notice from Xu Wenlong yesterday that people were coming today, saying they were bringing foreign guests from Guojia Village to view the ancestral home.
The ancestral house that occupies a large area is very famous and has a history of hundreds of years. The elders in the village have said that the richest man in Guojia Village lived there and it was also the former residence of the elders of the Guo family.
He left during the war.
I really didn’t expect that the descendants of this family are back now. This is an opportunity for the village. If we can let this person spend a sum of money to build a primary school in the village, it will be a big help. The children will not go to the town.
Went to school.
Early in the morning, Guo Mingde was waiting at the entrance of the village. Far away from here, he saw a car approaching. These days, only high-ranking officials can get on the car, and Guo Mingde did not dare to neglect it at all.
The car stopped, and Xu Wenlong and Guo Yongren got out of the car. To be honest, this trip was really bumpy, and it was nice to get out and walk around.
Xu Wenlong looked at Guo Mingde and smiled, "Old Guo, I have brought you the noble man. You can do whatever you want at noon." Guo Mingde's eyes lit up and he looked up and down at Guo Yongren.
"There, Uncle Xu promoted me, I am a wanderer returning home," Guo Yongren said quickly, this is the root of the Guo family, and this is where the Guo family came out.
"Okay, what a wanderer returning home, what do you call this little friend?" Guo Mingde has studied for several years and is not an ordinary person.
"My name is Guo Yongren, uncle," Guo Yongren called him eagerly. Hearing the title uncle, Guo Mingde smiled on his face.
"Come on, eldest nephew, you are home now. It's noon now. Come to my house for dinner. After dinner, I will show you that your family is the patriarch of our Guo family." Guo Mingde said loudly, raising his head directly.
The status of Guo Yongren’s family has increased.
"Thank you, uncle," Guo Yongren said generously, already wanting to improve the village.
They didn’t want to take the car anymore. The three of them were talking as they walked. Guo Yongren handed Guo Mingde a cigarette and lit it. The three of them got a lot closer and walked puffing away.
It's not very far from the seaside, so there's a lot of rain, not to mention stagnant water in places. I walked around many places before arriving at Guo Mingde's home.
Early this morning, Guo Mingde collected a lot of seafood, and also bought a chicken on credit from the village, as well as two large jars of wine. There was nothing he could do, even though he was the village chief, he was also a poor man.
Guo Mingde's wife at home started cooking as soon as she saw the time. She prepared seven or eight dishes and opened a jar of wine to entertain Xu Wenlong and Guo Yongren. It can be said that a lot of money was spent.
Guo Yongren directly put two packs of cigarettes on the table, which was considered a pack of cigarettes in front of each person, and started smoking. At this time, the dishes were already prepared, and they were all from the sea. Guo Mingde opened the wine and poured it directly, and the three of them drank.
Up.
Yesterday Xu Wenlong said that he would stay here for one night today and the guest room and everything had been tidied up. At Guo Mingde's house, the west wing was vacated and all the bedding was replaced, which was very convenient.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Guo Mingde began to complain to Guo Yongren, sometimes in tears, and Guo Yongren also shed tears. The three of them talked and cried.
"Uncle, don't worry. Since I'm here, I will definitely do something practical for the village. This is also the wish of my grandfather and my father." Guo Yongren immediately expressed his stance, which finally stopped Guo Mingde's sadness.
The meal lasted for more than two hours before it was over. The three of them came out and went straight to the Guo family's old house. The Guo family's old house is located at the east end of the village, and the purple energy comes from the east. These are all famous.
When he came here and saw it, Guo Yongren was stunned. Holy shit, his family is really a landlord. It occupies a really large area. It has a large courtyard with three floors in the front, middle and back, with small bridges and flowing water, rockery fountains, carved beams and painted columns, and towering trees.
It's just that there are weeds all over the place now, and I don't know how much dust has fallen off the walls of the courtyard, but Guo Yongren doesn't care. Here, Guo Yongren feels a sense of familiarity and a sense of belonging.
Neither Xu Wenlong nor Guo Mingde went in. At this time, it was suitable for Guo Yongren to be alone. The two of them were talking and puffing away outside.
"Lao Guo, you can do it. I see that there are no problems in your elementary school. This may not be the only one. Guo Yongren should be the type of person who values emotions." Xu Wenlong's eyes were very poisonous. He had already seen Guo Yongren's nature seven times.
Seven or eighty-eight.
"As long as we can build the primary school, let alone cry or kneel down, I don't care. The village is too poor. As an elder, I shouldn't be so scheming against the younger ones, but now I really have no choice." Guo Mingde said with a look on his face
He said guiltily.
After Guo Yongren entered, he looked back and forth. He stopped in a room in the backyard and opened the door. Inside was a small ancestral hall with many spiritual tablets enshrined. In front of it was a large table with a black
