Chapter 430: Chengjin Travel (Part 2)

I posted two chapters today, haha, I'm happy.

…………………………………………

Wu Ying personally cleaned up the messy cemetery with a shovel and refused to let Meng Ning and others help. Zhu Xiaoyong and Hou Weidong simply walked away and smoked next to a pile of rocks.

After cooperation with the Halal Restaurant, Hou Weidong couldn't help but look at Zhu Xiaoyong with admiration and said, "Brother Zhu, I didn't see that you are really neat."

Zhu Xiaoyong was also very eloquent and said, "The power of not having a chicken is a prejudice against scholars. The six arts are etiquette, music, shooting, calligraphy, and numbers. To some extent, they are also cultivating all-round talents in civil and military affairs. I dare not be called a civil and military scholar, and I am not just a nerd."

"Which nerd dares to ride a bicycle to Tibet alone?"

When he first arrived in Shazhou, Zhu Xiaoyong completely hid behind Liu Mingming, Shen Hao and others, and seemed a little mute. At this time, Hou Weidong looked at Zhu Xiaoyong again, and the impression was completely different from the time he first met. His body was as thin as strong and thin as strong, and his eyes were as bright as lacquer.

Hou Weidong said intimately: "Meng Ning is the daughter of the provincial party secretary after all, and his eyesight is really good. Zhu Xiaoyong is smart and has the ability to act. He is a character. With Meng Hao behind his back, he is probably not a thing in the pool."

With this understanding, when I looked at Meng Ning who accompanied her mother to clean up the cemetery, I felt different. Meng Ning was not beautiful or conspicuous at first glance. If she didn’t have a surname, she would definitely give people an ordinary impression. However, Meng Ning was very peaceful in dealing with people, was very indifferent to things, and was very friendly.

"This is the most interesting pair of princelings." Hou Weidong came to the conclusion.

Wu Ying hasn't been physically strong for a long time. Half of the weeds in the cemetery were left, a small blister had been ground on her palms, and her waist was so tired that she couldn't straighten her hair. Some sweat drips appeared on her forehead. She said to Meng Ning: "I'm old, I used to do these jobs on the mountain."

Meng Ning said, "Mom, I'll help you shovel." Wu Ying handed the shovel to Meng Ning and said, "Okay, you can help Uncle Xiang shovel. Although he likes fighting the most, he loves neatness. When we were washing clothes, he always stuffed his dirty clothes into our basin while we were not paying attention."

Looking back at the weathered tombstone, she thought to herself: "In Xiang Yong's heart, I will always be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. But people always have to grow old and die."

Meng Ning heard something about Xiang Yong when he was a child. Over the years, the whole family has been busy. The past twenty years ago has rarely been mentioned. She looked at the beautiful and fair regular script "The Tomb of the Intellectual Youth Xiang Yong" on the tombstone and thought: "I don't know where Xiang Yong went to Feishi Town to go to the countryside. A young life will wither in the mountains forever. Only his parents and a very small number of people will remember this young man who was full of youthful dreams and vitality."

Since Meng Ning took over, Hou Weidong and Zhu Xiaoyong were not idle. Together, the three of them quickly swept out another tomb together. This was also a tomb of an educated youth. Wu Ying also knew this person. She put in incense, candles and paper money on both graves, and inserted some cigarettes on Xiang Yong's tomb alone. She poured a whole bottle of Maotai.

Wu Ying said to Meng Ning with sighs: "Your Uncle Xiang's greatest ideal was to drink a bottle of Moutai. He had practiced martial arts and admired Xu Shiyou the most, but unfortunately, he never drank it until his death."

Meng Ning was also very curious about Xiang Yong's affairs. Seeing her mother's expression, she still refused to ask. She was very interested in the stories of the educated youth era. She also went to Chongqing Gele Mountain to see the Cemetery of the Deadly Fighting. Although the two are different, they belong to the same era when passion, dream, blood and tears, and suffering are intertwined.

Before he knew it, he stayed in the cemetery for more than three hours. Xiang Yong's cemetery was sorted out, but it was undoubtedly dilapidated. Wu Ying stood in the cemetery for a while and said, "If you can take time out next time, you will find a small construction team to completely repair the cemetery. If you continue to be dilapidated like this, the tomb will sooner or later be submerged in the grass."

She knew in her heart that Xiang Yong had no many friends in this world. Although he responded to the Chengjin educated youth site, as time passed, in the impression of most educated youth, he could only be a distant background.

I encountered trouble when I went down the mountain. The car was filled with ore, and even the car was carrying dozens of tons of goods. I needed to use water to wash the tires along the way to brake the car. Therefore, there was a lot of mud on the road on the right, which was very difficult to walk.

Halfway through the walk, a truck broke down on the road, blocking the road tightly. A repairman had to solve the problem. He pulled the driver and asked. When he learned that this was the only highway down the mountain, everyone had no choice but to wait for the repairman.

Wu Ying was a little tired. Seeing that she couldn't drive for a while, she sat in the passenger seat, put down her seat, covered it with a thin sheet, and slept with peace of mind.

Hou Weidong, Zhu Xiaoyong and Meng Ning got out of the car and stood by the road chatting. The place where the truck broke was a high ridge, two or three hundred meters below. There were only a few short trees under the high ridge, which could not block the view. The rocks at the foot of the mountain were scary.

This town is called Feishi Town, which is probably related to these stones at the foot of the mountain.

Trucks came down from the mountain one after another, and soon formed a convoy along the winding mountain highway. Except for the two off-road vehicles of Zhu Xiaoyong and Hou Weidong, all of them were trucks.

Zhu Xiaoyong said: "I didn't expect that there were so many trucks in the small Feishi Town. Most of the ores produced on this mountain are produced."

Hou Weidong: "Teacher Zhu has a strong vision. The mountain in Feishi Town belongs to the Haishan Mountains, with a rich phosphorus mineral reserves and the highest quality is the section where Maoyun City and Shazhou City are intersecting. If there were no such mine, this mountain would be poor mountains and bad waters. Aunt Wu became an educated youth on the mountain back then, which should be the most miserable place. However, since the phosphate mine was mined, this mountain has become a treasure mountain, which is similar to the gold rush in the United States back then."

Zhu Xiaoyong observed carefully for a while and said, "These cars are diverse, which means that the entire mining industry is likely to be in a disorderly state. Of course, my statement is very subjective, mainly from my personal feeling. When I see modern mining industry, most of the vehicles are of the same model."

Hou Weidong's economy originally came from stone, so he was very affectionate about mining, saying: "The economic level of each county in Shazhou is low, and it is typical for reliance on resources to make a living. Now this situation is not much different from place to place."

Zhu Xiaoyong looked at the problem from the perspective of scholars and said: "This approach has a great impact on the environment and is even more predatory to resources. Sooner or later, it will be stopped by the state."

The two of them were chatting casually while smoking. Meng Ning held his hands and stood by the rock to see the scenery in the distance.

Many drivers were impatient and ran down to check the situation. Qin Gan also got a small mine in Feishi Town. He was going down the mountain with the driver. He suddenly saw Hou Weidong at the foot of the mountain and ran over. He shouted "crazy" first, and then felt something was wrong, and then shouted "Uncle Hou, why are you here?"

By age, Hou Weidong is only a few years older than Qin Gan. However, Hou Weidong has always called Qin Gan's father Qin Dajiang "big brother". After Qin Dajiang passed away, Hou Weidong also went to Qinglin several times a year, and every time he had to see Qin Dajiang's lover. Therefore, Qin Gan had to call Hou Weidong "Uncle Hou" on formal occasions.

Hou Weidong was a little surprised and said, "Why are you here? I remember you are not here."

"I didn't have a tenable place there. At first I found a mine, a poor mine. It was meaningless to mine it, and the rich mine could not be taken down. Later, I heard that the resources in Feishi Town were okay, so Zeng Xianyong and I came here and had already contracted a small mine. We should be able to make money this year. The protectionism here is serious, and it is not easy for us outsiders to survive."

Hou Weidong thought of the Chengjin Hotel gathering in a crowd of cars, and his heart moved, and said, "Does there any county leaders participate in the phosphate mine?"

Qin Gan said: "Why didn't there? Li Dongfang, the son of executive deputy county magistrate Li Taizhong, is the largest phosphate mine owner. He occupied all the good mines. The mine that Zeng Xianyong and I bought was a dead mine. But we were lucky. After we bought it, we accidentally discovered another ore vein. After we found this ore vein, our transportation volume began to increase and someone had already started to harass us."

Thinking of Qin Dajiang's incident, Hou Weidong's expression was a little solemn, and he said, "You have to pay attention to safety. I don't think Li Dongfang is good at it. He is also good at it. He must pay attention to safety. There are many businesses that make money now, so there is no need to make any ideas on this mine."

"We accidentally got a rich mine. Now we have invested more than 2 million yuan and cannot withdraw it at all. After mining this mine, Zeng Xianyong and I will collect the mountains, which will last for a lifetime." Qin Gan was originally a bold person, but when he saw that there were huge profits, he naturally refused to let go.

There were already a long truck on the winding highway. Many drivers ran down to see the situation. Qin Dan said to him, but his face was wrong. He said to Hou Weidong: "Uncle Hou, the situation here is complicated. I want to go back to the truck so that I will not be fooled." He also had a fake May 4 mobile phone in his waist, and he was not afraid of being bullied in broad daylight. However, the trucks are all heavy trucks now. If someone gets cheated on them when going downhill, it will be a big trouble, so he had to go back and watch and guard the car with the driver.

Zhu Xiaoyong heard Qin Gan's words and said in surprise: "Why is the social security in Chengjin so bad? It seems that our noon encounter is accidental, but it is inevitable. You are the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office. After you go back, you must report this situation to Secretary Zhou." He asked again: "Don't your Municipal Party Committee go to the grassroots level, conduct in-depth investigations and research, and keep in touch with the masses. This is a fine tradition."

Hou Weidong was the deputy director of the county party committee office and at this time he was the deputy director of the municipal party committee office. He had the most say in this. "Now the leadership is at the grassroots level, and the route is determined in advance. It is difficult to understand the actual situation at the grassroots level. If you really want to grasp the first-hand situation, you still need a light car like today."

Zhu Xiaoyong said: "This is not a difficult thing."

Hou Weidong scratched his head and said, "It's not a difficult thing to say, but it's very difficult to do. I am Secretary Zhou and I know his situation the best. Every day when I arrive at the office, Secretary Zhou is busy. There are too many problems that need to be solved in the large market with a population of millions."

"I remember that the US president has to take vacation every year. Does the city secretary have more things to do than the US president?"
