On August 23, Li Jianhui, Chen Zhiyong, Li Jianyang, Chen Zongwu, and Chen Zongxue arrived at Kai Tak Airport early.
Today they are not going to take a plane, but are waiting for the Xiangjiang Airlines passenger plane to take off from Yuzhou.
There is a group of special guests here, including Chen Zhiyong's younger brother and younger sister, as well as Li Jianhui's second aunt Li Xiuli and others.
Through communication with the mainland and preparations by Chen Zhijun, Li Xiuli and others, we finally arrived in Xiangjiang today.
The only thing that makes Chen Zhiyong regretful is that his elderly parents cannot bear the hardships all the way and cannot come here. If he wants to see his parents, he needs to go back in person.
On a passenger plane flying to Xiangjiang, in addition to Li Xiuli, Chen Zhijun, and Chen Xueping, there were also several young people in their twenties, who were also the most excited and active people.
Although the Chen family and the Li family live in the same commune, they are in different villages and have not had much contact before. It was only during this trip to Xiangjiang that they became familiar with each other.
As the plane was about to arrive at the airport, the scene outside the window filled these people with shock and surprise, especially since Kai Tak Airport is in Kowloon, and it is common for planes to pass through buildings.
The citizens of Xiangjiang are accustomed to this, but it was the first time for everyone on the plane to see such a scene, and the impact on their hearts was huge.
Especially seeing the tall buildings and the densely packed vehicles below made them break through their cognition and imagination.
What they saw here was different from what they usually heard and learned. Only after seeing this did they understand what a city is. Compared with here, there is not much difference between the city in their hometown and the countryside.
The older generation has nothing to do with it, but a trace of desire can't help but appear in the eyes of these young people.
As the plane slowly taxied to the apron, the vehicles of Li Jianhui and others also arrived here, all of them wearing plain colors.
Li Jianhui was originally planning to switch to a Rolls-Royce before, but after establishing the Jade Lion Group, he put this plan on hold. He has asked the Jade Lion Group to customize a vehicle for him. In the future, his car will only be his own.
its brands.
Although some of them met for the first time, both parties still knew each other because of the photos, so there were only a few young people who were strangers to each other.
Li Xiuli is better off, after all, her brother is no longer here, and there are only two nephews here.
Chen Zhiyong, Chen Zhijun and Chen Xueping were already in tears with excitement. When Chen Zhiyong left home, Chen Zhijun was only 11 years old, and Chen Xueping was even younger, less than 8 years old.
This gap is nearly forty years, and they have also grown from adolescence to adulthood, and are even entering old age.
At this time, the brothers and sisters met, and their inner emotions could not be described in words.
Li Jianhui also saw Li Xiuli's photos. When Chen Zhiyong was reminiscing with his younger siblings, Li Jianhui and Li Jianyang also came to Li Xiuli to say hello.
Li Xiuli had seen Li Jianyang before, but she had only seen Li Jianhui in photos, and this was the first time she saw him in person.
Li Jianhui was able to speak Southwest Mandarin, which surprised Li Xiuli. She knew that the last time Liu Xiaojuan and Li Jianyang came back with translators, it showed that these two people still couldn't understand a lot of Southwest Mandarin, let alone speak it.
But Li Jianhui spoke very fluently. If she didn't know that Li Jianhui had been in Xiangjiang, Li Xiuli would have thought that he had been living in Sichuan for a long time.
However, Li Xiuli did not ask any more questions, but introduced the two men and one woman around her to Li Jianhui and Li Jianyang.
Li Zhihua is 18 years old, the eldest grandson of brother Li Minglin, Zhou Xiaowen is 17 years old, the eldest grandson of Li Xiuli, and Wu Qiongying is 21 years old, the daughter of elder sister Li Minglin.
The reason for this situation is mainly because Li Minglin's brothers and sisters are in different situations.
Li Minglin's eldest brother and his second brother were both married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and were only arrested after having children. Li Xiuli was still in the village, and she got married and had children at the age of seventeen.
But Li Minglin's eldest sister, Li Xiujia, was different. She went to Yan'an in her early years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she was arranged to serve as deputy secretary of the party committee at North Sichuan University, responsible for university party affairs. She did not get married until 1953. She has three children, Wu Qiongying is the youngest.
Therefore, Wu Qiongying and Li Jianhui, who are only a few years older than Li Zhihua and Zhou Xiaowen, are their elders.
Since ancient times, there is nothing wrong with this saying. Based on the current situation in the Mainland, as long as you are not studying in college, it is normal for you to get married and have children at the age of 17 or 18. If you develop on a normal track, your seniority will be almost that of your grandfather.
As Chen Zhiyong's son-in-law, when Chen Zhiyong's family came, Li Jianhui naturally wanted to go over and say hello.
They temporarily took these people back to settle down, and everyone would have dinner together in the evening.
Sitting on the Pingzhi and looking at the prosperous street scene, Li Zhihua and the three of them, who had been proud of living in the city since childhood, no longer had any arrogance here.
Only the government has a few cars in the city. It's more respectable for ordinary citizens to have a bicycle. But cars can be seen everywhere here, and most of them look much better than those owned by the regional government.
Not to mention the high-rise buildings here, they were simply dazzled by them. The highest building in the city was only six stories, with a height of more than 20 meters. Such buildings could not be called high-rise buildings here at all.
Wu Qiongying may be of the same generation, but she is not as reserved as Li Zhihua. I don't know if it is because this girl has joined the work, but some of the questions she asked are quite good.
“It doesn’t matter what the economic system is, what matters is how to do it. Because Guocheng is not currently an economic opening zone, the suggestions I can give are limited.
But from a business perspective, if an enterprise wants to develop well, it cannot rely solely on government support. The most important thing is that the enterprise must make profits.
If an enterprise wants to be dynamic, it must implement the principle of getting more for more work. If it can be calculated on a piece basis, then try to calculate it on a piece basis. If everyone's salary is the same, no one will work hard."
Wu Qiongying understood that what Li Jianhui said did make some sense, but she was currently just a section chief in the municipal (county-level) Industrial Bureau, not even a deputy section-level cadre, so she had no right to make these decisions.
Reform has not been a good thing since ancient times, and my mother passed away at a special time. Although my father has returned to work in the past two years, he is not responsible for the regional industry.
It was better for her to keep a low profile at this time, so as not to cause trouble for herself and her family. Although she was still young at that time, she still remembers that scene.
Now the eldest brother is serving as the deputy district chief and deputy section-level cadre in the No. 1 District Office of Guocheng County. The second brother is also serving as the section chief in the county public security bureau. He is at the same level as her, both at the stock-level, and his development is not bad. She does not seek her own future.
No matter how old you are, as long as it doesn't affect your two older brothers.
She was just a little regretful that her mother had passed away prematurely. Otherwise, her family could have been closer to Li Jianhui. With Li Jianhui's help, the eldest brother would have been able to rise to prominence. After all, as a local government official, his political achievement was the development of the local economy, and this aspect was very important to Li Jianhui.
It's too easy to say.
He had inquired, and found out that the cost of just flying a special plane to pick them up this time was an astronomical figure for them.
If this money is invested in the district office, it will not be a problem to double the local economy, but this money is just a drop in the bucket for Li Jianhui.
It's a pity that although the two parties are still related, they have never been in contact, and there is no deep relationship. It is not that easy to get support.
