There is almost no change in the courtyard and room in my memory.

However, there were two rattan chairs and a TV in the living room. The TV was made of a wooden shell Panasonic brought back by Goro. It was surrounded with cloth on the outside, and even the radiator was not spared.

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing, and sat on his own on a rattan chair, facing the TV and the small window, feeling very relieved.

The smile on the corner of Xu Liya's mouth never disappeared. She took out a big canned bottle from under the TV cabinet and said, "I heard that you were coming, so I boiled the rock sugar water. It was already cold. You loved drinking it when you were a child. Turn on the TV and there were books next to it. I'll go and heat up the rice and you can eat it immediately."

The kitchen is on the other side of the yard, and it is also the most familiar place in Sucheng when he was young.

Su Cheng sniffed deeply, and his whole body seemed to be sublimated.

Outside the door, there was a "crackling" sound of fried pig skins.

Su Cheng smiled unconsciously, picked up the canned bottle, and took a big sip of rock sugar water. The sweet smell almost penetrated into his lungs, and the bumps of the journey gradually disappeared.

"If you just rest in the countryside, it is good to stay in the countryside. The premise is that you have no worries about food and clothing, have peace of offspring, have medicine and medicine, and have convenient transportation..." Su Cheng thought of this and smiled silently. Such a requirement may be simple for Europeans, and the Japanese are about to reach it. But China will take another 30 years, or 50 years, before the results can be achieved.

"Then let's start with me." Su Cheng looked at the green mountains and waters outside the window and thought to himself: It is also a huge challenge to make money and keep the environment.

Below the window frame is a desk, and next to it is a bookcase.

Su Cheng walked over with a canned bottle and looked from left to right. Some of them were familiar to him, while others seemed to be newly bought.

The outside of the bookcase was covered with transparent glass, obviously to protect the books. Each book inside was wrapped in a bookcase, and then the title and author of the book were rewrited on the spine in beautiful fonts: Dai Houying's "Man, Man!", Hegel's "Aesthetics", Pu Cunxin's "Where is Light", and "October", "Harvest"...

Su Cheng smiled knowingly. This is the bookshelf of people in the 1980s. Every literary youth likes aesthetics, and every person who has experienced sports yearns for beauty.

"Come on, eat something before reading." Xu Liya took three plates and hurried to serve the dishes, saying, "There are some books inside that you sent me."

"Well..." Su Cheng smiled, a natural smile.

There was braised pork with skin, fragrant pig tails, a plate of slivered strips, a plate of vegetables, and a portion of mushrooms, which was indeed a rare and hearty dinner.

Su Cheng sat down quietly and tasted it one by one.

Xu Liya looked at her smile and said, "Why is your child so quiet when she comes home? She used to be noisy all day long? She really grew up? Do you have a partner?"

"Mom." Su Cheng shouted out and smiled and said, "I think there is a partner."

"That's good, why don't you bring it back to see it?"

Su Cheng smiled foolishly and lowered his head to eat vegetables and stew rice.

Xu Liya didn't say anything anymore and only ate together after adding a meal to him.

Su Cheng quickly adapted to this environment and felt very relaxed. The fatigue, sleepiness, anxiety and worries accumulated a few days ago all surged up. After eating, he fell asleep without saying a few words.

Xu Liya covered him with a quilt, watched for a while, then went to the kitchen to make porridge, and later, she called Su Cheng to get up to drink porridge and talk.

The next day, Su Cheng was about to sleep in.

I was left outside the window with full light, but I heard the sound of saxaul, as if several people were whispering. Looking at the watch, it was only 9 o'clock in the morning.

When Su Cheng thought about it, he got up anyway.

After leaving the yard, there were indeed several people waiting.

It is the fourth cousin and the third uncle. In addition, there are several distant relatives. While chatting with their mother Xu Liya, they are polite to the house.

When Su Cheng came out, several people stood up and said, "Chenzi is here."

Some of them of the same generation shouted "Sucheng".

"Good morning, everyone. Cousin, third uncle, you're up now." Su Cheng fed a basin of water, washed up in the yard, and sat down.

My cousin once went to Dong*ying and was also the father of Goro and Siro. My third uncle was the father of my fourth sister Xu Feng. He was younger and was just 40 years old.

Both of them were a little nervous and said, "Su Cheng, we are here to thank you. Goro, Shiro and your fourth sister are all promising..."

Su Cheng asked them to finish their thanks words, and then smiled and said, "There are always people around him who are helping him. Goro and the others do well, so don't worry."

Seeing that his attitude had not changed, the old farmer-like cousin breathed a sigh of relief, poked his third uncle with an elbow, and said with a smile: "Look, I just said that Su Cheng is not the kind of person who forgets the village after having money. This is not very good. Let their brothers help each other."

"You are." My third uncle is a relatively smart person. He runs a small shop at home and often goes to the town to purchase goods. He knows the status of Sucheng more deeply. Before coming, he warns others. Unexpectedly, he is sold by his cousin in the blink of an eye.

Su Cheng pretended not to hear it and said with a smile: "I'm going to go to the ancestral hall to see it. Let's talk while walking?"

"It just so happened that my dad said yesterday that he would worship his ancestors. Let our ancestors see what our ancestors have produced." My third uncle pulled Su Cheng away. Although it was not the same surname, Su Cheng grew up in Jingshan and did not suffer much discrimination. On the contrary, due to the love of his grandfather, his only daughter Xu Liya raised Su Cheng alone and did not encounter too many doubts and criticisms. In this era, it is extremely rare.

Su Cheng still remembers that when he was a child, the uncles of the whole village went out to carry shoulder poles and hoes to find trouble in the neighboring village. To be honest, a few thugs from the neighboring village just felt a shame when they saw Xu Liya who was out.

The fight was very big, and many people were injured and some were sent to the hospital. It is said that the police had all dispatched them. When they turned around, they were all giving Xu Liya things, advising her not to be sad.

It was those blood-splattered clothes that closed Su Cheng's heart.

Xu Liya caught up with her and put on a vest for Su Cheng. The group talked and laughed, and arrived at the center of the village in a few minutes.

Behind Jingshan Village is the location of the Xu family’s ancestral tomb. The ancestral hall is slightly built to the front, but it is an antique building. Although it is only one floor, it is tall and large, with bright windows. It is not majestic, but it is also upright.

"Please build someone outside?" Su Cheng asked in a low voice.

"Your grandpa took the lead, and your brothers and nephews went to the battle together. It was built by the whole village's old and young people." The cousin said proudly: "I'm a big job with 50 labor points a day."

"Have you calculated the work points again?" Su Cheng laughed.

"There is no money in the village. I said I had scored the money for the things. Only Goro came back and cashed in a little bit. I still have a few hundred points left." My cousin coughed twice, looking at Su Cheng, and said, "We left the workers' money and opened the road. When we came back this time, do you feel that it's much easier to walk?"

Su Cheng looked bitter and said, "That's also a good idea to leave."

The grades were erased, and the cousin said dissatisfiedly: "It's not easy to walk? Then you can go to the dusty road."

"You really don't know. After I come back, I want to build a gray road for us. One is not enough. We not only go to the town, but also to the provincial capital."

"City, you have to think well that building roads is a good thing. There is no need to build such a long road. Building roads is precious now..." My cousin did not expect it to be happy, but instead persuaded him with great sincerity.

Suddenly, there was a heavy cough in front of me, saying, "Chairman Su is willing to build roads in his hometown. This is a good thing, we should support it."

Su Cheng looked up and saw that he was a tall and thin man he didn't know, wearing a jacket on the outside and a shirt on the inside. He looked like a cadre.

Grandpa Xu Baoming stood beside the cadre and introduced: "This is the county magistrate Ru of our Ba County. He heard that you are here and came by the bus this morning."

"County Magistrate Ru is intent." Su Cheng shook hands with him lightly.

"Chairman Su returns home in glory and supports the construction of his hometown. I should thank you." County Mayor Ru did not have the airs of county-level cadres, at least not in front of Sucheng.

When the villagers saw that the emperor of a county was talking in front of Su Cheng, they immediately became very vain and also had a new understanding of Su Cheng himself.

Just as people were pricking their ears and preparing to listen to their high-end greetings, Su Cheng let go and said, "Today, I will worship my ancestors, and I will not talk about official business."

He winked at his grandfather and entered the ancestral hall.

No matter how well County Magistrate Ru did, it was difficult for him to break into other people's ancestral hall, so he could only wait outside.

Xu Baoming lit the incense of the ancestral hall and kowtowed to worship with Su Cheng.

Since it was not a grand day and there were no too much cumbersome rituals, it took nearly an hour to worship.

After leaving the ancestral hall, County Magistrate Naru still waited respectfully.

Sucheng didn't find it strange. Investment promotion was available as early as the 1980s. At that time, only overseas Chinese were rich, so the overseas Chinese offices of the central government and provinces and cities were looking for overseas relations. After 1985, a group of richer people gradually emerged, and the work of investment promotion was slowly launched to the country.

Ba County, where Jingshan is located, is a typical poor county, with sluggish industry, backward agriculture, and trade limited to ordinary commercial transactions. It is easy to hear that Dahua Industrial in Sucheng is not impatient.

This was also the happiest period for Chinese businessmen. The compliments from officials from all over the world almost made businessmen think that they really had political rights.

Xu Baoming patted Su Cheng on the shoulder and said, "We have a banquet in the whole village at noon. Now, you will talk to County Mayor Ru first."

County Magistrate Ru came over without any chance and smiled, "Old Xu, leave me a seat and I'll have a good drink with Mr. Su."

"No need for County Magistrate Ru. You are so busy, so you don't have to accompany me."

"Helping Director Su is my main job. No matter how busy he is, he will not be too busy to entertain people." County Magistrate Ru raised his fist and said, "We are a county that needs to serve all-weather 24/7."

Su Cheng sighed, turned his head directly, and said, "County Magistrate Ru, do you want to invest? Or do you want to donate?"

"Of course it's an investment. The conditions in our Ba County are very good..." County Mayor Ru was preparing to take the opportunity to give a good introduction.

Su Cheng interrupted him and said very realistically: "If you find 30 teachers for me, I will invest 1 million yuan. If you want a good teacher, you will teach in Jingshan Village. We will be responsible for solving the teacher's shuttle bus and food and accommodation."

County Magistrate Ru was moved and said with a little reserved look, "30 teachers are not easy to find. Jingshan is too far from the county town."

"We can pay a little overtime pay in Jingshan Village, and in addition, you Ba County can provide a volunteer rotation service." Su Cheng smiled gently and said, "When our Jingshan is built, there will naturally be no shortage of teachers."

County Mayor Ru agreed and asked about the road again.
