On this day, I came to the home of Zhao An's third aunt, Lu Xiuling.
"Third Aunt, Third Uncle, Happy Chinese New Year~!"
Zhao An shouted with a smile when he got out of the car, and at the same time opened the trunk, carrying boxes of presents out.
Lu Xiuling came out to say hello: "Oh, come as soon as you come, why do you bring so many things every time..."
Li Zhiyuan got out of the car, called Third Aunt, and said, "Third Aunt, this is my first visit as the Zhao family's daughter-in-law. If this gift is too light, people will gossip."
Lu Xiuling took Li Zhiyuan's hand, but stared at her lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, who dares to see if I don't tear his mouth apart,
Let's go, it's cold outside, let's go inside and warm ourselves by the fire. "
In the main room of Lu Xiuling’s house, a floor stove, also called a ground gourd, is very common in rural areas in remote alpine areas. Its appearance has solved many heating problems in remote villages.
You can burn charcoal, or you can burn some straw, sawdust or some branches commonly used in rural areas...
The structure of this kind of stove is simple and practical. When the house is built, it is buried in the ground, just like a carbon stove, heating the whole house!
This is the case in Lu Xiuling's house. The floor stove is burning brightly, filling the whole room with warmth.
"Wow, this stove is so warm, why haven't we seen it last time?" Li Zhiyuan exclaimed as soon as he entered the door.
Zhao An: "The last time I came was autumn, the weather was not so cold, and when it was not in use, it was covered with wooden boards.
When the winter is cold, the wooden planks are uncovered and the stove is fired.
People just sit by the stove, and they can roast sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc..."
Li Zhiyuan's eyes lit up and said: "It's so amazing, can you still barbecue?"
"Of course you can barbecue~!" Lu Xiuling said: "Sit down for a while, I'll help your uncle, and we can eat right away..."
Zhao An's little cousin, Wang Shiqi, brought two bamboo chairs over for the two of them, and said, "Cousin, sister-in-law, please sit down and enjoy the fire!"
"What would my cousin want to bake, and I'll get it for you?"
Li Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "I'll just talk casually..."
But Wang Shiqi didn't care so much. She went to the warehouse at home, picked up a bunch of sweet potatoes, washed them in a basin, put them one by one on the side of the stove, and started roasting them.
Li Zhiyuan looked at her red hands that were frozen by the cold water, and could not help but pull them over to warm up together with distressed words: "They said no, look at your hands being frozen, come and warm up together."
Then I asked her some questions, such as how she was studying and whether she was bullied at school.
But his eyes were fixed on the potatoes on the stove, and he asked from time to time, "Are they cooked, are they ready to eat?"
......
About half an hour later, Zhao An picked up a potato, gently peeled off the skin,
Then blew it lightly a few times and handed it to Li Zhiyuan, saying: "I've never seen you so greedy."
Li Zhiyuan took it, wrinkled her nose at Zhao An, and snorted again: "I haven't eaten it..."
Seeing her eating with small mouthfuls and afraid of burning her mouth, Zhao An smiled and said, "Actually, not only can you bake potatoes, but you can also grill skewers. Even if you want to eat beggar chicken, there is a way."
"It smells so good..." Li Zhiyuan ate the baked potatoes with a look of intoxication, and said, "Then don't worry about it, I'm already satisfied with this, let alone,
This stove works really well. "
After eating the baked potatoes, Zhao An peeled another baked sweet potato for her.
The roasted sweet potato with the skin off is golden in color and looks very appetizing.
Li Zhiyuan gulped it down, her eyes widened immediately, she swallowed it whole, and said with a thumbs up: "It's fragrant, sweet and glutinous, it's really delicious."
Wang Shiqi smiled slightly and said: "The cousin-in-law has won the prize, this is the sweet potato grown at home,
If you like it, you can take some back when you go back, and bake one if you want to eat it. "
"I'll deliver some to you after eating."
Li Zhiyuan smiled and said: "There is no need for express delivery, it's too troublesome, it's best for you to concentrate on studying."
The table for eating is supported on the floor stove, so that the meals are warm and the dishes will not be cold.
At the dinner table, Third Uncle Wang Guangjun poured a glass of wine with Zhao An, but Zhao An refused, saying that he would not drink while driving.
Wang Guangjun was not hypocritical, he put away the wine bottle and said: "If you don't drink, then eat vegetables. I made these with my own hands. You can try to see if it suits your taste."
Zhao Andao: "Looking at it makes me very appetizing. Uncle is good at cooking."
Several people were eating and chatting.
Wang Guangjun ate, and couldn't help sighing: "Speaking of which, I really didn't really thank you seriously. Last year's batch of Dendrobium nobile was sold for more than four to five million yuan.
All the dendrobiums that were transplanted survived, and it is expected that this year's harvest will not be much less.
Seeing this day, it's getting better,
Therefore, I plan to start spring after a while, and the weather will be warmer, so I will push the house at home and build a new one. "
Chapter 564 Give Me a Reason First
Wang Guangjun is going to build a new house?
Zhao An thought it was good, then nodded and said: "This can be, although this place is a bit remote, but now the policy is good, all the roads leading to the village have been repaired to the door of the house,
It is very convenient to travel and everything, and this place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it has its own property. Third Uncle, I support you. "
Li Zhiyuan also said: "I also support it. My grandfather and my uncle were tired of the hustle and bustle of the big city, so they went to the countryside to buy a piece of land to live in, just to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside."
Lu Xiuling laughed and said, "I can't compare. I saw it when you got married. Your grandpa and uncle's demeanor and temperament are something that country people like us can compare to..."
Li Zhiyuan said: "What about temperament, I'm just giving an example, in fact, it's everyone's own choice,
It's just that now that the conditions are better, everyone has more choices. "
We all work hard and try to do everything we can do well, work and life, don't we just hope that we can have more choices at certain times?
Zhao An also echoed this point of view, and turned to Wang Shiqi and said: "Did you hear what your cousin said? This is also for you. Now your task is to study hard.
Get into a good university and learn more useful knowledge, so that you will have more choices in the future,
Not simply only four options of ABCD, but EFGHK and even more,
When you reach a certain level, you can even choose not to choose, and become the person who specifies the rules, this is the meaning of learning..."
Zhao An has basically reached this point now, can formulate rules within a certain range, and can also affect rules in a wider range.
Wang Shiqi nodded half understanding, and said in a low voice: "I see, thank you bro."
Zhao An and Zhao An left after the meal, knowing that Zhao An was very busy, Wang Guangjun and Lu Xiuling didn't stay any longer.
Zhao An drove Li Zhiyuan home, and drove to the county government himself, and promised to do well.
The second in command of the county government, Li Tengbo, the county magistrate, had long been looking forward to Zhao An.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, I will immediately notify County Magistrate Li to come down to meet you..."
As soon as Zhao An got off the car, a staff member at the gate of the county government immediately greeted him. It seems that Li Tengbo had already said hello, and he was ready to receive Zhao An's arrival with the highest standard.
But Zhao An doesn't like these vain things,
He waved his hand and refused, "Just take me to the office of your leader, and don't bother those who celebrate Chinese New Year."
The staff had no choice but to take Zhao An upstairs.
The county government office in Yun County looks a bit old, but it is very clean and tidy, and the work inside looks solemn and serious.
Li Tengbo has been taking the lead on duty for the past few days. The most important reason is that he is waiting for Zhao An, as the richest man's hometown parent officer, to find a way to get some benefits for the people in his hometown when Zhao An comes home to visit his relatives.
Especially since Zhao An originally intended to do such good deeds.
"Oh, why did Mr. Zhao come up by himself? I should go downstairs to meet him in person. Didn't I tell you that if Mr. Zhao came over, he would notify me as soon as possible?"
Li Tengbo greeted Zhao An warmly, and said the last two sentences to the staff.
Zhao An excused him and said, "I asked for it myself, and I'm not a big person, so there's no need to mobilize people. Speaking of which, I have to thank him for leading the way."
Zhao An's words were so impeccable that the little clerk who led the way looked at him gratefully.
In this way, Li Tengbo couldn't say anything, and said to the staff: "Then you go down first... Well, let Secretary Yu serve Mr. Zhao tea."
When the staff went out, he quickly pointed to the chairs in the room and said, "Please sit down, Mr. Zhao."
Zhao An was also polite, and sat down on the chair in Li Tengbo's office.
He said straight to the point: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome. If County Mayor Li has any demands on me or my company, please tell me directly now..."
Li Tengbo rubbed his hands, sat down opposite Zhao An, and said, "It is the pride of our Yun County to produce outstanding entrepreneurs like Mr. Zhao.
It is also the driving force for the hard work of the people of Yun County, and Mr. Zhao is not only doing well in business, but also enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings.
In our Yun County, there are also three primary schools, and a middle school started to build new teaching buildings and some infrastructure with the help of Mr. Zhao's Anyuan Fund.
I think the elders in Yun County will be very grateful to Mr. Zhao for his kindness..."
Asking him to speak directly about the appeal, he ended up saying a lot of clichés.
Zhao An still listened patiently, because what the other party said were all compliments, and they were very nice...
After Li Tengbo finally finished speaking, Zhao An said, "It's nothing, I think County Magistrate Li just wanted to praise me, right?
Everyone's time is precious. Next, I want to hear some practical things. Don't have so many twists and turns. It's unnecessary. "
Li Tengbo was a little embarrassed, but he quickly ignored himself. After all, as an official at the grassroots level, he was a bit thin-skinned and could not be competent.
"That's Mr. Zhao," Li Tengbo said with a smile: "Our Yun County is located in a remote place, without the economic advantages of the coastal areas, and there are many mountains in the territory, so there is really not much production.
The economic foundation is weak, let alone any development, so I hope, Mr. Zhao can..."
It's fine to just say no earlier, you have to make such a big detour, and in the end, you still have to ask Zhao An for help.
To be honest, Yun County's economy has developed in recent years, but against the background of the steady development of the national economy, Yun County's growth rate has been slowed down, which is why Li Tengbo came to Zhao An regardless of face .
I hope that he, the richest man, can make some contributions to his hometown.
Zhao An said: "Yun County is where I grew up, so there is nothing wrong with helping.
But County Magistrate Li, then again, I am first and foremost a businessman who has no money and no money, even if I put the word "conscience" in front of the businessman,
Then I am still a businessman, you said you need me to do this, do that,
Then let me ask you a question, why, you have to give me a reason first..."
Chapter 565
Yun County is where Zhao An grew up, and its economic strength and economic foundation are relatively weak.
As the chief official of a county, Li Tengbo hopes that Zhao An, as an outstanding talent in his hometown and the richest man in the country, can contribute to the development of his hometown and give some benefits to the people in his hometown.
This is understandable and understandable.
After all, if he succeeds, he will make a lot of money. Even if he fails, at most he will return to his old self, which will not have much impact on his personal future.
But for Zhao An, it is reasonable and affectionate to help, but it is justifiable not to help.
Because he also said that he is an ordinary businessman with the attribute of chasing profit.
In fact, for Zhao An, whether to help or not is just a matter of his words, money is not very meaningful to him, he no longer cares about the amount of money.
On the contrary, Li Tengbo's frivolous things made him feel a little disgusted.
That's why he said: "It's not impossible for me to help revitalize my hometown. Give me a reason first?"
"This..."
Li Tengbo was at a loss for words, please revitalize your own hometown, do you need a reason?
He couldn't get around it, he thought that if he did these things, Zhao An would be able to submit, and things would happen naturally, but Zhao An had gone through so much ups and downs, this battle was not enough for him.
"Then county magistrate Li, come to me after you think about it..."
The scene was slightly cold, and the county magistrate Li looked embarrassed, so Zhao An got up and prepared to leave.
But County Magistrate Li quickly realized what it meant to come to you after thinking about it. If Zhao An left today, it would be no wonder he could still find Zhao An...
Thinking of this, Li Tengbo quickly grabbed him and said, "Sorry, sorry, I was the one to be abrupt."
"Mr. Zhao, please understand. I can't help it. As a county official, I have been worrying about the development of Yun County all day long."
"This place is deep in the inland plateau, and has neither geographical advantages nor economic depth.
