Chapter 786 Jia Zhang returns to the courtyard!

In mid-June, I brought my three children to visit my mother-in-law and father-in-law.

"Dad, this is a pill. If you take it, it should help you live longer. Don't tell anyone else. Your appearance won't change much."

The father-in-law took the porcelain bottle without asking, "I'll take it in a minute."

"Thank you, Dongfang. Tingting and Yangyang are going to college soon. Are you really going to let them choose where to go to college?

Tingting is relatively better off, as she is attending university in Beijing. Yangyang lives far away, and he may not know where he will work after graduating from university.

There is really no need to keep them around, it will be difficult to find a partner in the future." My mother-in-law is old and she wants her children to be around.

Yang Yang heard this and said, "Grandma, it's okay. At worst, I won't get married. I want to study at Harbin Institute of Technology."

"Me too."

"You are still young and ignorant. Your future work will not be able to take care of the family. When you grow up, there will be a lot of things to do. It is not enough to just work, you also need to live." The mother-in-law advised the two children.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about them. When children grow up, they have the right to choose their future lives.

As long as they feel good about it, it's fine. If everyone stays with their parents, who will protect the country? You need to change your old ideas." Song Xianxian started to confront her mother-in-law again.

Mother-in-law, "I don't want to bother with you. You always make me angry every time you come back. I won't say anything if you don't care where the children go to work, so you don't have to blame me again."

"They all work in the country. I think they can go and see it now. It's not too much trouble." The father-in-law tried to smooth things over.

"Where are Song Qianguo and my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law went to my brother's army to celebrate his becoming a general." Song Xianxian asked her mother-in-law.

“Qian Guo and Jin Lan are attending the wedding of a colleague’s child, Wen Lan is out doing some shopping, and will go to your eldest brother’s place tomorrow.

It is not easy to be promoted to general in peacetime. Your elder brother is 50 years old this year. "The mother-in-law said with emotion.

"I think this is great. My dad used to fight in the wars and was promoted quickly, but that was risking his life in exchange for merit, which was too dangerous. Now my eldest brother is much safer.

My eldest brother should have a family visit leave next year and will be able to come back, so you don’t have to worry about them, just go and brag about it.” Song Xianxian is very good at persuading her mother-in-law.

"Why shouldn't I worry about them? Your eldest brother is better. Chunming is still not found a partner at the age of 29. How can I be behind?

Not only him, Chunying is 25 and still hasn't found a partner to marry, they have to wait until sometime to get married. "The old man has always been worried about the marriage of his younger generation.

"Why worry about it every day? They have their own parents. Why do you care so much? You should relax."

"That's easy for you to say. Your second brother came back in July and became the vice minister of the National Development and Reform Commission. I just found out about this when he called me last night."

Song Xianxian, "Isn't this good? My second brother will not leave for at least a few years after he comes back. Only one son is not around, which is much better than many families.

My second brother is coming back to the Standing Committee, which is the largest department.

"He ranks relatively low among the Standing Committee members. He could also go to the Organization Department and the Ministry of Electronics, but he wants to go to the National Development and Reform Commission," the father-in-law replied.

"What would you choose, Dongfang?"

"The Organization Department, the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and finally the National Development and Reform Commission."

"Why?" Song Xianxian didn't understand.

"The Organization Department is the most direct line of the direct line. The electronics industry will develop rapidly in the future and will achieve good results.

The NDRC has a lot of responsibilities, but there are too many people above it, so it’s hard to handle the complicated matters. “Cao Dongfang only gave a general idea.

"Where are you going?" Song Xianxian thought quickly.

"The Ministry of Electronics Industry. They will have great power and will achieve a lot."

"Let my second brother choose the Ministry of Electronics Industry."

"Let the second brother choose where to go. He will have his own ideas. He is not a child and does not need to be told by others."

"Let your second brother choose for himself." The father-in-law also thought that Cao Dongfang was right.

........

After leaving my mother-in-law's house in the afternoon, the five of us walked slowly home.

Song Xianxian, "The road now looks much cleaner and prettier than it did ten years ago. The buildings on the roadside are a bit shabby, and I don't know when they will be rebuilt."

“Starting from October this year, the buildings here will be replanned, especially on both sides of the road.

When demolishing and building buildings, the streets on both sides must not affect the city appearance. This is the case for the main roads, but not for the small roads. People in Hong Kong are investing.

"Did someone from Hong Kong come to your house on May Day and tell you that?"

"When I came home on May 1st, there was still no news from them. I only got the news the next day after I met with the superiors. We still need to hold a meeting to study it before making a decision.

But the problem is not big. At least some buildings along the main roads need to be demolished and rebuilt. The buildings are still too low to meet the current development needs. "

"My mom's store building is also being rebuilt. Can they rent out the new building? There are twelve floors in total, and the annual rent is 37 million."

"If the people of Hong Kong are in charge, that's fine. If someone else is in charge, we can discuss it. There is no specific plan now, but there should be a plan by the end of September."

"How much money are the people of Hong Kong prepared to invest here this time? This is a huge area."

"50 billion to 100 billion, it depends on how much space they can get here, so they can make a plan."

"This is a prime location in the city. If people from Hong Kong can get it, they will get a great deal."

"This is also a way of rewarding people for their contributions. The people of Hong Kong are also our own people. These small projects require a lot of investment, so it would be better if other people could participate."

“It seems so.”

......

While talking, they walked back to the courtyard. Before reaching the gate of the courtyard, Cao Dongfang saw a beggar-like man less than 50 meters away.

Are there still beggars like this in the city now? It seems that they were dealt with ten years ago, and there shouldn't be any more now.

The ragged old beggar in front of him walked over. She was hunched over, with dishevelled hair and a dirty face, and a strange smell emanated from her dirty body.

A pair of timid and turbid eyes looked out from among the weed-like white hair, and the face covered with wrinkles and dirt showed vicissitudes and hopelessness.

Violent coughs broke out from between his cracked lips, his body trembled, and his steps became increasingly unsteady.

He was carrying a large bag of luggage on his back.

This is a female beggar.

Haha, this is not a beggar, but the notorious Jia Zhang fifteen years ago.

This old woman did not die in a labor camp outside the city, but returned to the old city and the courtyard today.

A 75-year-old woman, her vitality is so strong, as if she has not had an easy life in the past 15 years.

The fat and big-eared Jia Zhang is now skinny and lazy. The lazy Jia Zhang is beaten back to his original form at the labor site.

No one would serve her, and no one would spoil her. She was just lucky that she didn't die.

But...Cao Dongfang took a closer look at Jia Zhang and was sure that Jia Zhang would not survive more than three days.

She was only supported by her obsession to return to the compound to live. If she returned to the courtyard, she would definitely die without her.

"Dongfang, what are you looking at? Is that the old man across the street? Why is he like a beggar? Doesn't anyone care about him in the city?"

"He is not a beggar but a celebrity in our compound. He has returned to our compound after 15 years."

"It's Jia Zhang. She's been in jail for fifteen years, but she's still alive. She's really lucky." Song Xianxian was a little unbelievable.

"It has nothing to do with us. She came back to find a good guy. She still hopes that she can survive, but it's impossible."

Let's go in and tell Qin Huairu later.

"Let's go back." Song Xianxian and three others entered the courtyard.
