Sparse farmland, muddy dirt roads, soil embryo houses that may collapse at any time, or lazy or active farmers.

   This is the countryside in this period.

The arrival of Chu Huan and his party brought a huge shock to the farmers of Gangwang Brigade. Although many people were watching them, more people were still busy with the work at hand. There has been no rain in the spring of this year, which has caused farmers to Actively watering the fields.

  It is to use an ox cart to pull an iron bucket filled with water, and then the farmers pour water into the farmland one by one.

   Even so, Lin Qingxia, who was by Chu Huan's side, couldn't help but said: "This is the village with the best conditions along the way we've come."

  After Lin Weiyun arrived in Xuzhou, Chu Huan and others set off the next day to Lin Li's brigade, King Gang's brigade.

  Chu Huan nodded. They passed many brigades along the way, but this Gangwang brigade was more energetic than the other brigades.

   This is actually related to the experience of King Gang’s brigade.

   If you want to talk about poverty, Gangwang Village was really poor before, and it was the poorest brigade in the whole commune at that time.

Gangwang, as the name suggests, is located in the hillside highlands, lacks water, does not have an acre of irrigated land, and the harvest is completely "hopeful". In the event of a severe drought, the crops are not harvested, and even the water for humans and animals has to be sent to other brigades several miles away. Village to pick.

   This kind of high hill land is afraid of drought, but also afraid of waterlogging.

  Because the soil quality of this kind of hilly highland belongs to yellow clay, the water permeability is extremely poor, and the live soil layer is shallow. When it encounters heavy rain, it becomes a mud soup that can be waded with hard ankles, and crops are prone to rot and wilt.

The soil is barren, fear of drought and waterlogging, a good harvest yields 300 to 400 jins per mu, and a bad year yields 100 to 200 jins per mu. "A year of grain for half a year, and the remaining half year for famine" was the reality of Gangwang Village at that time. portrayal.

  When poverty reaches a certain level, people will start thinking about seeking change, because only seeking change can change their lives.

Gangwang Village belongs to the family sect village. There are two family sects in the village, the big faction and the small faction. Naturally, there is a lot of friction on weekdays. Then something happened, the captain was taken away, and the commune sent three people urgently ZS Youth takes over Gangwang Second Team.

  Under the leadership of the ZS youth, Gangwang No. 2 team had a bumper wheat harvest in 1976, with a total output of more than 80,000 jin, the best harvest in history.

  At that time, the commune’s most advanced production team’s summer ration distribution standard was 180 catties of wheat per person. In order to allow members of the commune to eat twice the standard of 360 catties of wheat per person, Gangwang’s second team paid public grain for two years in one season according to the commune’s requirements.

  Not only in summer, but also in the autumn when the fertilizer is applied, the harvest is also a bumper harvest.

The Gangwang Second Team digs the land deeply in the winter "Xue D Village", and transforms the most barren 30 mu of high hill land "Donkey Roll". Put a bed of live soil to one side, apply farmyard manure on the dead soil, and dig a foot deep. Then cover it with another bed of living soil, and the sweet potatoes grown are as small as a large bowl and as big as a basketball. The total output of 30 mu of sweet potatoes is more than the previous year's 100 mu.

  The sweet potato grater used for slicing in previous years could not do anything to such a large sweet potato, so the members had to take the sweet potato to the market to sell.

   In the summer and autumn of 1976, the two harvests were bumper, and Gang Wang's second team sold a lot of surplus grain, and they had money in their hands. After holding a member meeting to seek the consent of the masses, only a small part is used for dividends, and the rest of the money is used for livestock transactions and the purchase of chemical fertilizers.

The production team reused two experts who knew how to trade livestock to buy and sell livestock in the Nanyang and Luohe livestock trading markets. After two years, the team grew from a thin donkey and a thin cow to eight cows, a donkey and a horse, and had four sets of plows The productivity of cultivated land.

   "Lili!"

   Just as Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia were communicating, Lin Weiyun next to him suddenly shouted excitedly.

  A woman with short hair in her twenties and close to her thirties raised her head. Not only did she raise her head, but also a young man beside her raised her head at the same time.

  Lin Qingxia looked at each other with some excitement. The woman who looked up was naturally Lin Qingxia's sister Lin Li, and the man next to her was her current husband Qian Shenyong.

  Although the story of the two of them can’t be said to have many twists and turns, it is also quite interesting. Both of them are not absolute ZQ, and they should be defined as supporting teachers.

  After the teaching support in Yu Province ended, Lin Li returned to Hei Province and got a job as a substitute teacher. Through the introduction of her relatives, she met and fell in love with Qian Shenyong.

  Qian Shenyong was originally a student of the Central Academy of Drama. After graduation, he was assigned to be an actor in the Xuzhou Opera Troupe. Lin Li followed Qian Shenyong back to Yu Province to continue teaching.

  Now is an important time for watering, and the two also put down their work to help the villagers water together.

"dad!"

  Seeing Lin Weiyun's arrival, Lin Li was overjoyed, trotting all the way over, Qian Shenyong followed, and asked happily, "Dad, why are you here?"

  Lin Weiyun didn't know how to speak. Lin Li sensed that something was wrong, so she told the team leader and took Lin Weiyun back to their residence.

   Lin Li happily greeted the villagers she saw on the road.

Finally, Lin Weiyun, Lin Qingxia, and Lin Li returned to the room. Chu Huan and Qian Shenyong found a stone pier in the yard and sat down. Mo Youheng was bored with the two old hens in the yard. .

  Qin Peng and others stayed outside.

  The yard is surrounded by soil embryos, and it is uneven. At the same time, there is still some chicken droppings in the yard.

  Qian Shenyong first brought a cup of hot water from a tea mug, but he didn't know how to talk to Chu Huan, and seemed a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Chu Huan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm not thirsty!"

  Qian Shenyong smiled awkwardly, Chu Huan pointed to the situation in the room, and said with a smile: "Do you know what's going on inside?"

  Qian Shenyong shook his head, "Not sure."

  In it, Lin Weiyun introduced Lin Li, and Chu Huan naturally introduced Qian Shenyong.

  After hearing what happened, Qian Shenyong was stunned, never thinking that his wife had relatives in Xiangjiang.

  Because he was worried about unnecessary troubles, Chu Huan said that Lin Qingxia and others belonged to Xiangjiang now, and did not mention the matter of Taiwan Island.

   "Speaking of which, we are still brother-in-law, I should call you big brother-in-law!"

  Chu Huan was joking, mediating the atmosphere of the scene.

  Qian Shenyong continued to smile awkwardly, and said, "So when you come back this time, are you looking for relatives?"

Chu Huan said: "It mainly depends on Lin Li's situation, but her biological parents really miss her very much. If possible, I still hope that you can go to Xiangjiang to see them. After all, they are old and they It is not very convenient to toss back and forth with your identity, as to whether you want to stay in Xiangjiang or not, it still depends on the decision of the two of you."

  Qian Shenyong didn't speak, he naturally knew about Xiangjiang, and knew that there was a world of flamboyance over there, but he still preferred the life here, there was no choice without comparison.

  Seeing that Qian Shenyong is a boring gourd, Chu Huan didn't say anything.

The two sat so bored. About an hour later, Lin Qingxia came out of the room with reddish eyes, followed by Lin Weiyun and Lin Li. From the slightly reserved expressions of the two, it can be seen that now For them, they still don't know how to accept it.

  Qian Shenyong stood up and said, "I'll go to the field to pick some vegetables and buy some things. Shall I have dinner here tonight?"

  Chu Huan waved his hands and said: "Don't bother, it will be too late after dinner, I think we should set off and return to Xuzhou now, whether you want to go to Xiangjiang or not, you should discuss it carefully."

Regarding the current situation, Chu Huan has no idea. If they want to go there, they can ask Mo Youheng to arrange various letters of introduction and procedures. If they don't want to go there, they will return to the capital and wait for Wu Shuhan to arrive. Let's go back to Xiangjiang together, and Lin Qingxia will tell her parents about the situation here, and let them decide.

  The most important thing is that the current residence of Qian Shenyong and Lin Li is really not suitable for so many people.

  Qian Shenyong looked at Lin Li, Lin Li looked at Lin Weiyun, and finally Lin Weiyun nodded.

  So Qian Shenyong began to ask the neighbors around him to take care of the house. After speaking, he returned to Xuzhou with Chu Huan and others.

  Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia were in the same car.

   "How was the chat?"

  Chu Huan asked Lin Qingxia.

  Lin Qingxia said: "Although the elder sister didn't say it clearly, it can be seen that she is reluctant to part with the life here and does not want to move to Xiangjiang."

  Chu Huan nodded and didn't say much. On this matter, Chu Huan was only responsible for helping to find the person. As for other matters, it could only be decided by the family.

   After the group returned to Xuzhou and stayed in Qiyi Hotel again, the people staying here told Chu Huan that Wei Zhongchuan came to find Chu Huan this afternoon.

  Chu Huan asked: "Did the other party say anything?"

   "Seeing that you weren't here, he left, but he seemed to be moved. Listen to me, if you come back tonight, he will come back to see you tomorrow morning!"

  Chu Huan smiled. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhou and his party found a helper for themselves.

   On the way back, Lin Weiyun, Lin Li, and Qian Shenyong were sitting in a car. Although Chu Huan's driver was driving, they had a discussion.

  So after arriving in Xuzhou, Lin Li found Lin Qingxia and told Lin Qingxia their decision.

  They want to go to Xiangjiang to see their biological parents, but after watching it, they still want to return here.

   Regarding their decision, Lin Qingxia has nothing to say, even persuasion is Lin Weiliang and Ma Lanying's business.

Now that they had made a decision, Chu Huan found Mo Youheng. After discussion, they finally decided that Mo Youheng, Lin Qingxia and others would take Lin Weiyun and others to Shekou and pass through Luohu Port to Xiangjiang. Flying is still a bit of a hassle.

   Chu Huan returned to the capital to meet Wu Shuhan, continued to fly to Japan, and then returned to Xiangjiang from Japan.

After the decision was made, Lin Weiyun followed them back to the Qiyi Hotel, and Qian Shenyong and Lin Li returned to Qian Shenyong's hotel in Xuzhou that night. s home.

  Qian Shenyong’s home is in Xuzhou!

  The next morning, Chu Huan saw Wei Zhongchuan again at Qiyi Hotel, but this time Wei Zhongchuan was accompanied by his little grandson.

   Sure enough, as Chu Huan's people judged, Wei Zhongchuan decided to follow Chu Huan back to the capital.

  Chu Huan arranged them in the Qiyi Hotel, and Mo Youheng used his identity to come here with various letters of introduction from Qian Shenyong and Lin Li.

   After everyone stayed in Xuzhou for another night, they parted at the train station. Chu Huan took Qin Peng and others back to the capital, and Lin Qingxia went to Shekou accompanied by Mo Youheng.

  Bang, bang, bang, bang!

  Without the company of Lin Qingxia and Wu Shuhan, Chu Huan was meaningless on the train. When he got on the train, he just slept. When he woke up, he chatted with Wei Zhongchuan, popularized the knowledge of antiques, and then continued to sleep!

  My hometown also got news from Mo Youheng, so when Chu Huan arrived in the capital, there was a replacement for Mo Youheng—Shen Bin!

  After Chu Huan returned to the VIP Building of the Capital Hotel, he learned from his own people who stayed here that Zhou Tao had never come to look for them.

  Because of Wei Zhongchuan, Chu Huan is not so concerned about Zhou Tao. After all, in the antique shop, the elderly are more reliable than the young.

  As for Wu Shuhan not coming back at this time, I don't know why.

  With the help of Shen Bin, Chu Huan found some official antique appraisal experts, and found that Wei Zhongchuan actually knew them, and there was nothing left to doubt.

  Find two friends who are willing to stay in the capital, and with Wei Zhongchuan, they are responsible for helping Chu Huan purchase antiques from the people in the capital.

   On the other side, Wu Shuhan finally arrived in the capital. From Wu Shuhan's mouth, Chu Huan knew that nothing happened, but stayed at home for a few more days.

   Then Chu Huan went to the Friendship Store in the capital again, and after a raid that shocked everyone present, Chu Huan went to meet some important people, then set off for Japan with Wu Shuhan and others, and returned to Xiangjiang.

.

  It was early March when Chu Huan went to the capital, and now it is the end of April when he returns to Xiangjiang!

  Looking at the familiar street, Wu Shuhan sat in the car and sighed: "It feels like a world away!"

  Chu Huan smiled, isn’t the hometown and Xiangjiang in this period just two worlds?

  The convoy drove directly to No. 12 Mount Kellett Road!

  The news of Chu Huan's return was already known to Cao Yunshang and others, so when the two returned here, the Chu Family Manor was very lively.

  Cao Yunshang, Zhou Meiqi, Chu Duanqing, Zhong Xiaoqing, Mrs. Wu, Chen Xincheng, Chen Shuli, Zeng Hong, Chen Yalu and others are all here.

   Seeing Chu Huan come back, everyone smiled happily.

   "Grandma, are you still used to it here in Xiangjiang?"

  Old lady Wu held Chu Huan's hand and said happily: "Get used to it, get used to it."

But Chu Duanqing said: "Auntie is still not used to it, the language is not good, and there is no one I know around me, but I changed the place where Auntie lives to people from Shenghai, so that Auntie can still live here. More talkers."

   "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

   Chu Huan laughed.

   "You kid, why did you tell me this!" Chu Duanqing said angrily.

  Chu Huan smiled.

The family sat and chatted together, and Chu Huan also knew that Cao Wenjin had flown back from Malaysia specially, had dinner with Mrs. Wu, and then hurried back to Malaysia, where Cao Wenjin Jin's business has just started, and there are many things he needs to deal with.

  At night, everyone stayed in the Chu family manor. Chu Huan chatted with the old lady until late at night before returning to his room.

   "How is it? How is the situation at home?"

  Cao Yunshang, who was sitting on the bed and reading a book, saw Chu Huan coming back, put down the book in his hand, and asked Chu Huan curiously.

  Chu Huan took off his coat, sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile, "Shall I tell you while taking a shower?"

   After speaking, regardless of whether Cao Yunshang agreed or not, he dragged Cao Yunshang up

  Cao Yunshang let out a giggle.

  The next day, morning.

  Wu Shuhan also rushed over early, and said to Chu Huan: "Boss, Mo Shao has returned to Haojiang, but before leaving, he also explained that you are back, so you must call him."

   After Wu Shuhan arrived in Xiangjiang with Chu Huan yesterday, he left at No. 12 Mount Kellett Road without staying too long, and returned to the company to start working seamlessly.

  Chu Huan nodded.

"Also, HSBC's loan of 250 million US dollars has been returned to the company's account. At the same time, Sha Ya will officially leave HSBC on the 5th of next month. By then, a farewell dinner invitation has also been sent to the company. "

  Sha Ya's tenure at HSBC has expired, and he has finally completed the work he wanted to complete. He has wholly acquired the North American Ocean Milan Bank, and the North American Ocean Milan Bank has officially changed its name to Haifeng Bank!

   "Roy Bentley has been calling the company during this time, asking when you will come back from Japan, and he wants to meet you."

  Sha Ya resigned, Shen Bi was dispatched to Japan, and Roy Bentley will also officially succeed Sha Ya and become the top class of HSBC!

  Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "Call his office and tell him that I'm free tomorrow night."

  Chu Huan still has a lot of things to do today. In the morning, he will accompany the old lady to visit the grave, and in the afternoon, he will meet Qi Dezun.

  After entering 77 years, the business structure of Xiangjiang will officially change. The most important thing is that HSBC, Hehe International, and Wheelock, the three consortiums with far-reaching influence in Xiangjiang, will have to replace their helmsmen.

  Chu Huan will also officially take over Hehe International and Wheelock this year.

  However, this matter will have to wait until October this year, so the meeting with Qi Dezun now is just to continue to discuss how the two consortiums can transition smoothly into their own hands.

  Tonight, Chu Huan is going to Bijiashan Villa to have dinner with Lin Qingxia's family.

  Tomorrow during the day, Chu Huan will go to see Huo Tsar and tell him about his trip to his hometown this time.

   That is, I have time to meet Roy Bentley at night.

  Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "Okay, I will call Roy Bentley's office later."

  Then the two checked Chu Huan's itinerary for the next few days. Basically, in the next half month, Chu Huan had no free time.

  After the two of them checked out their itinerary, they came to the dining table together. Seeing a familiar face, Mrs. Wu seemed very happy, and chatted affectionately with Wu Shuhan for a while.

   After breakfast, Chu Huan and his party went to visit the grave.

   "Grandma, I have some things to do in the afternoon, so I won't accompany you. Let Yunshang and the others accompany you. If you have anything to do, just let them do it!"

  During lunch, Chu Huan preached to Mrs. Wu.

  Old lady Wu nodded and said with a smile: "You don't need to accompany me specially, we have gotten used to the life here these days, knowing that you are all busy, just take care of your own affairs first!"

  Chu Huan just smiled and didn't say anything.

  The appointment with Qi Dezun was in the afternoon, and before the time came, Chu Huan chatted with Chen Xincheng, Chen Shuli, and Zeng Hong.

  They have been here in Xiangjiang for more than ten days, and they have understood the basic situation. Since Chu Huan got them to Xiangjiang, he always has to take care of the rest.

   "Aunt, uncle, aunt, are you still used to it in Xiangjiang?"

   Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Chu Huan asked the three of them.

  Chen Xincheng smiled and said: "It's okay, but there are always a group of people around, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

They are new to Xiangjiang. Cao Yunshang was worried that they would not be familiar with the place here, so he asked Lin Feng to transfer a group of people from the security department of Jiaku. One was responsible for their safety, and the other was responsible for guiding them to familiarize themselves with Xiangjiang. Condition.

  Among the women around Chu Huan, the only one who has the right to mobilize people from Jiaku is Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang, who is currently married to the matchmaker. The other girls do not have this right.

   "After you get used to the life here, you don't need it. It's better to have some people around you."

   "I'm just worried that it will affect A Huan's work on your side. With so many people surrounding us, it's time to delay their work for you!" Chen Shuli worried for Chu Huan.

   "It doesn't matter. These people are supposed to do this job. If they weren't by your side, they wouldn't have anything else to do."

   Chu Huan preached.

   After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Huan cut to the chase and asked if there was anything they wanted to do.

"We've also discussed it. It's better to be familiar with it. I've found out these days that the development of animation in Xiangjiang is quite good, so I want to go to some animation companies to find a job. Your aunt also found that the textile industry here is not good. No, I want to try it too, as for your aunt, she wants to go to some convenience stores and shopping malls!"

  Chen Xincheng and others are also thinking about how to support themselves in Xiangjiang during this period of time, so they are still very concerned about the industry that they are specialized in.

  Because of the existence of fantasy comics, Xiangjiang now has an industry that was not so popular before, the animation industry!

   It’s just that Xiangjiang’s animation industry is comparable to Xiangjiang’s cultural attributes. They are all eager for quick success and quick money, and few of them can appear on a large scale.

  So now Xiangjiang's animation industry is more of a one-stop fantasy comic agency, and the others are bugs!

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "It happens that I have my own company in the three industries you mentioned, why don't you try my company first?"

Chen Xincheng hurriedly said: "I don't want it anymore, you have helped us a lot here, if everything depends on you, A Huan, we are worried that we will take this kind of thing for granted in the future, so we discussed it, and we still want to Let's see if I can find a job in Xiangjiang with my own ability."

  Chen Shuli and Zeng Hong also had the same attitude.

Seeing what they said, Chu Huan stopped saying anything about this matter, and just smiled and said: "We are all a family, so we don't need to see each other like this. If there is anything you need, just tell me or Yunshang. OK!"

   "Well, okay!" Chen Xincheng also laughed and said, "We know, don't worry, I won't meet with you, A Huan."

  Chu Huan nodded, and then everyone chatted.

   Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Huan got up and left here, and went to the Wuyuehui to meet Qi Dezun.

  In the car, Chu Huan told Wu Shuhan: "Let Lin Feng's people follow them secretly, and don't let them be bullied. For the rest, let them get used to Xiangjiang's life first!"

  Chu Huan didn't want them to become moths after they came to Xiangjiang. If that was the case, it would not meet his original intention of bringing them to Xiangjiang.

   Let them familiarize themselves with Xiangjiang's life first, and if they can take on big responsibilities in the future, Chu Huan will also recruit them into his company.

  If not, then give them a sum of money so that they can live in Xiangjiang without worrying about food and clothing, which is also worthy of the original owner of their body.

  Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "Okay!"

  Chu Huan smiled and asked Wu Shuhan: "How does it feel to return to my hometown this time?"

Sitting next to Chu Huan, Wu Shuhan smiled and said, "It's pretty good, but I still feel that there is still a little bit of letting go. As for the boss, you want to open up your business in your hometown, and you don't know when you will be able to do so." forming."

  When he was in his hometown, Chu Huan had already told Wu Shuhan that if the market in his hometown was released in the future, Chu Huan would arrange for Wu Shuhan to be in charge of the overall affairs in his hometown, which surprised Wu Shuhan.

   "Don't worry, I believe it won't take a few years!"

  Chu Huan sat in the back seat, speaking confidently.

  Wu Shuhan nodded. It seems that his boss has never made a wrong prediction on these matters.

   "By the way, tell Xu Yi to collect information on Kowloon Bus and Hua Bus during this time."

  Chu Huan suddenly preached to Wu Shuhan.

  Wu Shuhan was stunned for a moment, his boss is not the kind of person who is aimless, now let Xu Yi call the situation of Kowloon Bus and Huabus, according to Wu Shuhan's understanding, his boss is obviously interested in these two companies.

  However, Wu Shuhan didn't ask why Chu Huan did this, but nodded seriously: "I will tell Manager Xu about this after I return to the company."

   After the Five Sacred Mountains Meeting, Chu Huan walked in alone, while Wu Shuhan returned to the company.

  When Chu Huan walked into the private room, Qi Dezun was already sitting there waiting for Chu Huan.

   "Ah Huan, I didn't expect you to stay in Japan for such a long time!" Qi Dezun smiled and said immediately after seeing Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan laughed, and said: "Things over there are a bit troublesome, so I stayed for a long time, but I also pay attention to the situation in Xiangjiang at all times. Mr. Taipan should be proud of himself now!"

  Qi Dezun also said with a smile on his face: "All of this is inseparable from your support, Ah Huan!"
