Chapter 1291 By then, the Rhododendron will surely bloom bright red
The car headed north, crossing the Jianghuai and Huanghuai rivers and continued towards Yanjing.
It was easy to fall asleep in the swaying carriage. Qin Ruobai turned her head several times to look at her sleeping parents-in-law and grandfather, then turned back to look at the narrow country road and reminded her husband: "It's okay to drive slower! If you can't make it to work tomorrow, just ask for leave. I've already called the bureau in Hongshan County!"
"Yes! I know!"
Although it was only seven o'clock when they set out from Hongshan County, Li Xiangnan still wanted to get back to Yanjing as soon as possible, so he drove quite fast along the way. However, after hearing what his wife said, he still slowed down as much as possible to ensure safety.
Qin Ruobai asked again: "Is it enough to talk to Secretary Jiang for only one hour?"
Hearing this, Li Xiangnan smiled and shook his head. "Secretary Jiang is only in his forties and is very smart. In my draft, I wrote so many economic strategies based on the situation in Hongshan County. I believe that with his political awareness and sense of being an official, he will immediately realize the value of my draft!"
"Why are you praising yourself while you're talking?" Qin Ruobai covered her mouth and smiled.
In fact, this doesn’t count as Li Xiangnan lying.
The content and angle of the conversation with Jiang Weifeng and Zhang Zhidong are different.
After all, Zhang Zhidong is the provincial party secretary, and he is in charge of the macro-economy. He has to pay attention to the general direction, policies and good guidelines. His vision and awareness are absolutely first-class.
When Li Xiangnan talks to him, he will definitely focus on the overall situation and use the details to guide the whole.
But when talking to Jiang Weifeng, you have to be specific, talk to each county, town, or even each village and team specifically, pay attention to micro details and proceed from reality.
For example, in terms of boosting the economy, Li Xiangnan proposed that we should follow Pingshan County's practice of timely adjusting the direction of production and operation and timely adjust the economic growth model of the entire county.
In the early stage, after learning the spirit of contract responsibility system, Pingshan County began to implement the chicken farm model of collective contract responsibility system in the county.
However, the snowstorm that year destroyed the chicken farm that had been built with great difficulty, causing serious economic losses.
Raising chickens has a slow return on investment, high technical requirements, and faces huge challenges from the natural environment. Chicken diseases, breeding, and reproduction are all technical difficulties. Even the construction and layout of chicken coops require expertise in architecture, biology, and meteorology, and high requirements are placed on relevant personnel in rural areas.
These were figured out after the project was underway, but Pingshan County also paid a huge price.
But after the snowstorm, Pingshan County learned from its mistakes and decided to reverse the losses of the chicken farms. It directly changed its business direction and began to selectively plant medicinal herbs such as Peucedanum scutellariae and White Peony Root in the county based on the mountain terrain, climate and regional characteristics, fully considering the local conditions.
Li Xiangnan wrote a lot of similar cases in the draft, just to give Jiang Weifeng some room for thinking.
When the two talked about the future development direction of Lijia Village, Li Xiangnan also suggested this.
The people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water.
Since Hongshan County has the unique advantage of being a thoroughfare connecting three provinces in the southern Anhui mountainous area, it will rely on this mountain to form its own unique agricultural economic growth model!
Pecans, bamboo, herbs, tea, azaleas and other flowers, these five crops alone can serve as the glorious business card of Hongshan County in the future.
“The hometown of walnuts in Longguo—Hongshan!”
Li Xiangnan even wrote in his draft the future positioning of this agricultural fruit tree, how to cultivate, promote, sell it, and its nutritional value, and wrote four or five pages about it.
Jiang Weifeng regards it as a precious treasure.
"It takes three years to bear fruit, and five years to mature. In a few years, Secretary Jiang's pecan experimental field will bloom and bear fruit! By then..."
Li Xiangnan turned his head and glanced at Qin Ruobai.
"By then," Qin Ruobai narrowed his eyes in anticipation, "the red rhododendrons will be in full bloom! Your Hongshan will be the real Hongshan! At that time, I will go to Secretary Jiang's place to see the most beautiful and colorful azaleas!"
Li Xiangnan pursed his lips and smiled.
I really hope that by then, Hongshan’s economy will really begin to take off in the county and become one of the top 100 counties in the country!
……
It was still too late when we arrived in Yanjing.
It was 4:50 in the morning when the car stopped at the corner of Nanluoguxiang.
Not to mention Li Xiangnan, the driver, who was exhausted, even Li Dequan, Li Fugui and other passengers were so tired that their backs and waists ached.
"Hurry up and go to bed, Nan Nan! Don't take a shower, just have a good rest. Ruo Bai, both of you should go to bed quickly! We won't call you tomorrow!"
Zhu Qiuju and her husband helped the old man into the room, and then went next door to instruct their son.
"got it!"
Whenever Li Xiangnan spoke, smoke came out of his nostrils.
There was no other way. In order to avoid feeling sleepy, he didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked along the way.
He closed the door, pulled Qin Ruobai to the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was already evening. I had a meal and went back to sleep.
I slept until the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month and felt my head was almost flattened. I hurried to get up and took Ruobai to visit the Qin family to wish them a happy new year. We agreed to have dinner together in the evening, so I hurried to the Song family.
After exchanging pleasantries with Song Cijiu for a while, Li Xiangnan didn't see Grandma Song. While going to the bathroom, he winked at Song Yi.
"What's wrong with you? You're home for the New Year, but why are you avoiding people when you have something to say? My second uncle is not a stranger..." Song Yi came over and teased him with a smile.
"It's hard to explain!" Li Xiangnan's face was bitter, and he explained to her truthfully, "On the night when we stayed in Luzhou during the Chinese New Year, my grandfather met an old lady who looked exactly like my grandmother Mu Huanying in the guesthouse..."
"???"
Upon hearing this, Song Yi was shocked. She looked down at her arms and found that the tiny hairs on them were standing up in surprise.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Absolutely true!" Li Xiangnan nodded and asked hurriedly, "So I want to ask where your grandma is. I want to know if my grandma has a twin sister..."
"What the hell is going on?"
Looking back, she saw Qin Ruobai chatting enthusiastically with her second uncle. Song Yi quickly pulled Li Xiangnan outside the reception room and frowned, "What happened after Grandpa Li met her that night? Tell me everything!"
So Li Xiangnan quickly told Song Yi what happened that night.
By the time she finished listening to the whole thing, her brows were already furrowed.
"That's not right! My grandma and your grandma are like sisters. If Grandma Huanying has a twin sister, my grandma will definitely tell her!"
"You mean... my grandma doesn't have any sisters?" Li Xiangnan was puzzled. "Then who is she?"
"Don't worry, my grandma and my aunts went to the Ditan Park to visit the temple fair. I'll go find her right away..."
"Brother Nan, Brother Nan!"
Before Song Yi could finish her words, she heard Song Zimo rushing over from the living room.
Li Xiangnan and Song Yi looked at each other and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong, Zimo?"
"Fat Brother called your home, but couldn't find you, so he called ours and asked you to go to the hospital right away! There's a four-year-old child who has been waiting for you for seven days for surgery. Fat Brother said she's from another place, and something was wrong this morning..."
Hearing this, Li Xiangnan narrowed his eyes.
"Okay, Song Yi, you go find grandma. I have to go back to the hospital now!" Li Xiangnan quickly reminded her.
"Okay! I'll go right away!" Song Yi was also very efficient and immediately asked someone to go to Ditan Park.
Li Xiangnan walked quickly into the house, greeted Song Cijiu, and led Qin Ruobai into Song Zimo's car apologetically.
A person from another place waited in the hospital for seven days for him to have surgery?
It seems that something happened, otherwise the fat man wouldn’t be so panicked!
"Zimo, drive faster!"
Thinking that the child was only four years old, Li Xiangnan silently held his wife's hand.
