After the New Year's Eve dinner, the whole family went to the square for a walk.
The square was already overcrowded. It seemed that all the people in the village were gathered here. The small sun lamp in the center of the square lit up the square as if it was daytime. Children were running, babies were learning to walk, and old men were chatting. What was different from usual was that the old women did not come out to square dance on New Year's Eve.
Chen Weizheng strolled to the village office and used the village office phone to call the Qingshan Town Experimental Zone office in Beijing. He guessed that Ou Jie should have nowhere to go and would be very sad to stay in the office.
The call went through. The staff on duty knew Chen Weizheng. After a warm greeting, he told Chen Weizheng that the General Technical Department knew that Ou Jie and Commander Xiao were alone in Beijing and had nothing to do. They gave each of them a ticket and asked them to go to the Spring Festival Cultural Gala to be enthusiastic audience.
Chen Weizheng asked about the current situation of the office. The staff on duty said that because of the previous location, the private kitchen of the office was now a little famous. The income from the private kitchen could basically meet the office's expenses. Even if the experimental zone's funds were often not in place, it would not affect the normal operation of the office. In addition, the General Technical Department took good care of them. They often included the Housekeeping Department in the meeting and received some official fees. Compared to the base, everyone's life was better. The staff on duty said that everyone missed Chen Weizheng very much and hoped that Chen Weizheng would come to Beijing to visit them when he was free.
The staff on duty did not know that because of the lack of funds, the entire property of the office had been returned to Chen Weizheng. In other words, the entire office was using Chen Weizheng's personal property for free. It was just that they did not know it.
Haha, going to Beijing for a business trip and being able to see the gala, Ou Jie was not bad.
Coming out of the village office, Xiao Song was standing at the door. Chen Weizheng asked him why he did not go to the square to play. Xiao Song said, "The old ones are too old, and the young ones are too young. I don't know who to play with."
Chen Weizheng said that they could play with their old classmates who had graduated from high school in Gu Yi City. Xiao Song said that there was something wrong with these people's thinking. Maybe it was because their families were rich, or maybe it was because they were more open-minded. Maybe it was because of the fashion, or maybe it was popular, but they didn't come back for the New Year this year. They had agreed to go to the north to watch the snow. They had also asked him out before, but he had rejected them. He felt that they should spend the New Year together as a family. Perhaps, deep down, he was still a very traditional person.
Chen Weizheng chuckled. It was not that they were not traditional, but they were not used to it yet. If a person had never been poor, they wouldn't change because they suddenly had money. However, if a poor person suddenly had money, the change would be much more obvious. They also needed a process. He had also experienced this process before. It was a very subtle process.
Chen Weizheng told Xiao Song that he often had the same dream now. He dreamed of his state when he had no money. Every time he woke up, he would be drenched in sweat and panic. His thoughts would be in chaos, and he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. After asking Ou Jie, Ou Jie had never had such a dream before.
Xiao Song thought about it and laughed. Yes, Chen Weizheng in front of him was a typical example of a nouveau riche. It was just that he wasn't like Chen Weilai, who acted as a nouveau riche in the countryside.
He didn't talk about people during the day, and he didn't think about ghosts at night. When he thought of Chen Weilai, Chen Weilai came in front of him. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and Chen Weilai had lost a lot of weight. It was the New Year, and he didn't wear his trendy clothes. Instead, he wore the woolen army coat that he often wore in winter a few years ago. Under the small sun lamp, his face didn't look good. It was pale.
Chen Weilai walked in front of Chen Weizheng and asked Chen Weizheng when the shutdown of the water treatment plant would end. He wasn't worried about anything else, but what would happen if the village didn't have the huge income from the water treatment plant? If they were poor, they couldn't get rich. If they were rich, they would be in big trouble! Chen Village had only had a few good years, and he was really afraid that these good days would come to an end.
These few days, some of the Wei generation in Chen Village had gathered at Chen Weilai's house. They were discussing what path Chen Village should take if the water treatment plant couldn't continue. Should they use Wei An and Wei Ning's specialty plants, Wei Zhi's greenhouses, or go back to their old ways? Wei Zhang said something that made everyone's heart turn cold. If the water treatment plant stopped, who would they sell the things they grew in the greenhouses and mushrooms?
Hearing Chen Weilai's words, Chen Weizheng was happy. Awakening, he remembered this word. Chen Weilai and his brothers were the real backbone of Chen Village. They were able to recognize these problems and take the initiative to think about it. This was called awakening, and it meant that they had entered the positive path of seeking development. Chen Weizheng was most afraid of those people who didn't do anything all day long and were picky about what they ate. If they got used to feeding them, they would come to your house and lift the roof if you didn't feed them for one day. If you didn't feed them for three days, they would poison your pigs. If you didn't feed them for five days, they would bring Le Guo to your house and drink with you. As long as everyone was like Chen Weilai and his brothers, Chen Village had hope. At this time, Chen Weizheng suddenly thought of Chen Zhengquan. Psychokinesis, the strong psychokinesis in the ancestral hall. It was this strong psychokinesis in the ancestral hall that would affect and cleanse the participants in every activity. The people of Chen Village had unconsciously become traditional and progressive. Chen Zhengquan had contributed greatly to this.
Chen Weizheng told Chen Weilai not to panic and to know what to do. After the 15th day of the lunar month, all employees will return to the factory to tidy up the factory and repair the machinery. Clean up the sanitation and disinfect the pipes. Work training and responsibility assessment will allow the entire factory to enter the preparation stage. On the 1st of March, regardless of whether Longshan battery works normally or not, our mineral water factory will start on time.
Hearing Chen Weizheng's words, Chen Weilai grabbed Chen Weizheng's hand and said excitedly, "I knew it. Our factory won't die. Our village can still develop."
Letting go of Chen Weizheng's hand, he called Ruan Nan first and told him that they would start on the 1st of March. On the phone, Ruan Nan howled like a wolf. Following that was Qu Yian's and Ruan Nan's son, Ruan Jun's imitating voice.
After the call, Chen Weilai ran away. He wanted to tell this news to his buddies, but Xiao Song stopped Chen Weilai. He told Chen Weilai not to spread this news because the battle between the six great families was still going on. Don't let this news cause unnecessary trouble. Chen Weilai nodded. He knew that he had almost ruined something big. He stuck out his tongue and left.
Chen Weizheng watched Chen Weilai's back as he left. He smiled and said to Xiao Song, "If Brother Weilai doesn't spread this news, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
"You knew that he would spread this news, but you still told him that?" Xiao Song asked.
"Haha, I can move the water factory alone without the Longshan Battery Plant. If the six great families still don't give in at that time, this will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back." Chen Weizheng said, "I know you'll ask me why I told them if it's so important. It's simple. It'll cause a misunderstanding. The other side will think that we can only help the water factory by helping the battery plant. Since the water factory can start, the battery plant must also start. In the end, the water factory's start has nothing to do with the battery plant. When the time comes, they will all collapse. "
Xiao Song laughed at Chen Weizheng's scheming and deep foresight. He was a sly old fox with many tricks up his sleeve. He began to worry for the six great families.
The two chatted about Xiao Song's school and studies as they walked home. At home, besides Xiao Yu, Zheng Tien-tien, and Hua Zheng, everyone else had returned. After more than ten minutes, Xiao Yu and Zheng Tien-tien returned home. Xiao Yu told Liu Yi that Hua Zheng met Hua Rong at the square and went to Sister Furong's house together. Hua Zheng was in Chen Village and wasn't there most of the time. He was at Liu Furong's place. At first, Liu Furong was afraid that Liu Yi would be unhappy, but Hua Zheng's words made Liu Furong happy. Hua Zheng said, "My mom can't wait for more people to dote on me. She won't be jealous of you."
Liu Yi called Liu Furong and asked Hua Zheng to sleep over at her place. There were a lot of people there today.
Liu Dehou asked Xiao Song if he was sure that he was going to the old Ming State. Xiao Song nodded and asked when he was going. Xiao Song said that he would leave on the fourth day of the New Year and arrive on the sixth.
Chen Xiaomei was a little worried, but he also knew that a man should be ambitious. He was very conflicted in his heart, and it was reflected on his face that he was very distressed and depressed.
Chen Weizheng said, "I'll go with him."
Before he finished, Liu Yu said, "I'll go too." Zheng Tien-tien also said, "I'll go too." Even Chen Liping said, "I'll go too. Anyway, the factory can't start on the tenth day of the New Year. Old Wang is there to take care of the factory. I'm redundant. Why don't I go home and take a look?"
"I can't leave. Otherwise, I'll go too," Zheng Jianyi said.
"I'll go too. We don't have a training class until the first of March. Why don't Sister Liping and I bring Xiao Yu and Tiantian back when school starts? If Xiao Song is done with his investigation, he can come with us. If not, you can continue, "Liu Yi said.
"I'll go too." Xiao Zhu, who had been silent all this time, also said.
"Okay, okay, okay. You all go. When it comes to playing, all of you want to grow wings, "Chen Xiaomei said.
Liu Dehou knew that Chen Weizheng was going too, so his worry for his son was long gone. After the impact of Chen Village's new appearance, his previous worries about Chen Weizheng going to the old Ming State and what bad consequences it would have on the Longshan Battery Plant was no longer a problem he wanted to consider. Whether the Six Great Families succeeded or failed, it had nothing to do with him. The suspension of business in Gu Yi City also had nothing to do with him. Whether or not the Longshan Battery Plant became Wenjiang Battery Plant was also not something he could participate in. His son was gradually involved in Chen Weizheng's matters. It could be foreseen that his son would follow Chen Weizheng in the future and would become Chen Weizheng's right-hand man. If the old Ming Gang's chairman position was left for Chen Weizheng by this group of people, his son's starting point in the future would be far above his. When he reached his age, he might already be a governor. Chen Weizheng always did things with deep meaning. It was entirely possible that when everyone thought that he was still in the old Ming State, he was already leisurely strolling in Chen Village. Or he could be fishing in Qingshan Town.
Thinking of this, Liu Dehou said, "I also want to go, but unfortunately, I'm in the yamen and can't help it."
Chen Xiaomei said, "I have time to go, but I'm considering that no one will cook for you."
Grandma Liu said, "Why don't you go and play, Xiaomei? I'll stay with Xiao Song's grandfather for a few days and help cook for a few days?"
"Mom, don't believe Xiaomei." Liu Dehou said, "She told me that she's not going anywhere now. When I retire from the second line, Xiao Song and Xiao Zhu will also be independent. Then, we'll have our own world. We'll drive our Little Sky and travel around the countries to relive the past."
