The land that 47474747 used to be measured by feet changed when the view shot up into the sky. Overlooking the motherland from a height of more than 7,000 meters, the vast land of 9.6 million square kilometers was revealed. A sense of pride and responsibility welled up in one's heart.
The strength of the mountains, the gentleness of the water, and the beautiful scenery could be seen in a panoramic view.
The fields that supported the large population were like pieces of a chessboard, and the cities and villages were like chess pieces on the chessboard. Groups of buildings were rising in every city, and many places had factories being built. There were more and more chess pieces.
"Uncle, snow." Li Ke refused to sleep the whole way. He pointed outside the window in surprise.
As the plane flew over the Yangtze River, the land was gradually wrapped in "silver", and the scenery was quite spectacular.
Because of the snowy weather, the plane was inevitably delayed. It was supposed to arrive at the provincial capital at one in the afternoon, but it was a whole hour late and only arrived at two o 'clock.
As soon as they got off the plane, Li He grabbed the three children and wrapped each of them like a big rice dumpling, not giving them a chance to resist.
The person who came to pick them up was still Liu Four. He kept rubbing his hands and said, "Hurry up and get in the car. It's too cold outside."
The snow was still falling, and the wind was blowing wildly, making the cold even colder. It was like a cold knife cutting people's limbs.
Li He said with a smile, "Was it ugly on the road?"
Liu Four said, "We can't enter the village. It's full of mud, but your brother said that he's celebrating the New Year in the county this year, so we can go directly to the county."
Li He pointed at Yang Huai. "He has to be sent back."
Liu Four said with a smile, "Are you confused? Your sister finished selling fish in the county this morning and didn't even go home. She has been waiting at Li Long's house the whole time. How could she not come to pick her son up when he comes back?"
"I'll drive. You keep an eye on these three children." Li He took Liu Four's car key and started the car.
Liu Four said with a smile, "Let's go to Holland and take the 312 national highway back from Huaibin. It's not snowing there, so the road is better. You're not familiar with the road. Why don't I drive?"
"Just point the way." How could Li He not be familiar with it? Especially the 107 Provincial Road to Xinxiang, he could practically walk it with his eyes closed.
Due to the accumulated snow on the road, the car could only move slowly along the two lanes created by the car in front.
The car was getting further and further away from the provincial capital. They were now on a vast plain.
Along the way, what made Li He unhappy was that the repeated road inspections made him very annoyed.
On the way from the provincial capital to the Netherlands, the Public Security Bureau, the Traffic Management Bureau, and the Highway Management Bureau took turns to investigate. He saw with his own eyes that Liu Four took out five or six IDs and paid the road maintenance fee and the traffic management fee.
"Is it the same in our hometown?" Li He was not surprised by the roadblocks along the way. Since a few years ago, due to the imperfect laws and regulations of the road management department, which were not coordinated, unified, and lacked authority, the central government simply handed over the supervision of the national road safety to the public security department. The road management department was just like that. They were definitely not satisfied and had to intervene.
Moreover, the road management department was not unified. They were basically doing their own thing and did not interact with each other. The road maintenance fee, traffic management fee, vehicle purchase surcharge, and passenger ticket surcharge were all collected by different departments.
This was nothing. In order to generate income, the hardworking and honest people were self-reliant. The mountains were opened by them, and the trees were planted by them. If they wanted to pass by, they would leave behind money to pay for the road. Usually, they would block the road as a way to improve their lives.
Li He only thought that with He Jun in charge, there should be some new atmosphere, even if he was just a deputy mayor.
Fourth Liu chuckled. "Guess how many documents did Li Hui need to transport goods in Sichuan in the previous stage? Fifteen! Not one less ID for the operation of the vehicles! This time, our family is completely famous. The municipal leaders used the reason of removing the roadblocks as an excuse to strip us of the right to inspect the road management fees. I heard that this is a big deal. I heard that we're the first in the country to do this. "
"Haha, good for you." Li He thought that this had nothing to do with He Jun. This was what the city did in the previous generation. They directly went against the traffic department. All over the country, there were many who followed suit.
To put it bluntly, whether the roads were managed by the local government or the departments, or whether they were managed by a unified authority or by a decentralized authority. This caused the road system to be constantly changing.
In the 1990s, although the central government had abolished twelve departments related to roads, there were still many problems.
When the car entered the county, the sky was almost dark.
The weather was cold and dry. Li He kept his hands in his pockets and was too lazy to take them out.
Li Mei hugged and kissed her son when she saw him.
Li He laughed, "Stop kissing me. My saliva is about to freeze on Yang Huai's face."
Li Mei said, "Why don't you come to our place tonight? We'll stay for a few more days."
Lee Long said from the side, "You stay here for dinner as well. Go back tomorrow morning."
Li Mei laughed, "I don't know why he's so anxious. Let's go back first."
Li He said, "Then you guys go back first. I'll go over in a few days. Be careful when you drive the tractor. "
Li He had been exhausted from the journey and did not have the energy to go back to the countryside.
"Then we'll go first." Li Mei wrapped another layer of scarf around Yang Huai.
Yang Xuewen carried Li Lan up and said, "Oh my, you're so heavy."
The couple chatted and laughed as they left.
The house that Li Long bought was a former employee's quarters. Although the style was a little old, it was spacious. There were eight rooms in the front and back and a big yard in the middle. The pomegranate trees were also old.
There was a winding alley at the entrance. Li He and Liu Four were smoking at the entrance.
A woman holding a child came out from the door next door and greeted Li He, "His brother, you're back."
"Oh, your child can even run. That's fast." Liu Four's wife, Li He, almost didn't recognize her. "You guys bought a house here too?"
"He and Brother Longzi are close, so we bought it together." Liu Four's mother came out and answered. She held a dustpan in her hand and said with a smile, "Erhe, come in and have a seat. Have some water."
Li He did not stand on ceremony and walked in. He said, "Don't pour the tea. Ask Four. He just put it down."
Liu Four also said, "Erhe, he's not an outsider. Why are you guys causing trouble?"
His mother reprimanded her son, "That Erhe, of course he's not an outsider, but he's still a guest. You're the only one who's careless all day long."
Li He also walked around Liu Four's house and said with a smile, "You're not bad."
