    ?

    Gong Xiaojun and Min stayed in Liuzhuang for one night. One reason was that Liu Baoming insisted on letting them stay here to see more changes in the village. The other reason was that Min's son Liu Jianguo was not in Liuzhuang.  Liu Weidong went to the provincial capital and will not be back until tomorrow.

    Just like People's Square is no longer called People's Square but a developed wholesale market, Liu Weidong is no longer called Liu Weidong, and has been renamed Liu Fukang.

    The name Liu Fukang was given by himself, which means walking on the road to wealth.  His father, Liu Degang, the former director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Liuzhuang Hongqi People's Commune, died five years ago. He was suffering from cancer. The villagers said that he died of melancholy, just like the Filipino who fled to the United States on TV.  Former President Marcos.

    The former Liu Weidong and the current Liu Fukang are already the richest man in Liuzhuang and even the entire county. When the reform and opening up was just started, he took advantage of his father's convenience when he was still on stage to contract Liuzhuang's construction team at a very low bid and paid a sum of money.  After making a fortune, Tongda Group was established later, and he served as the chairman and general manager himself, and already has tens of millions of assets.  He also has a good political reputation. He is a member of the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress, a municipal secretary, and an outstanding young entrepreneur in the province.  Last week, a reporter from the Provincial Evening News came to interview him. He mainly published a commemorative article for the 100th anniversary of Chairman Mao¡¯s birth. He asked him to talk about the scene when Chairman Mao touched his head.  The manager's office declined to be interviewed.  After Liu Baoming heard about it, he took the initiative to find the reporter, told him the whole process, and shed tears when he talked about the emotion.  Liu Fukang got married again three years ago, and married Zhao Yaru, a young girl in the provincial capital.  Zhao Yaru's name is very foreign, and she looks like a flower like a jade. She is known as a flower in the provincial capital. Last year, she gave birth to a girl for Liu Baoming. He gave birth to a girl named Liu Yicongzi ingeniously. People call her "Liu Yichongzi" behind her back.  ".  He and Min's son, Liu Jianguo, is fourteen years old this year. After graduating from elementary school, he went to junior high school in the county seat. He heard that a noble school had been established in the provincial capital. Today he took his son to sign up.

    Gong Xiaojun and Min ate lunch and dinner at Liu Baoming's house, and both meals were hearty, including fish, shrimp and meat. The enthusiasm of the Liu family moved them for a while.  There are also many villagers who heard that they came to visit, and some even sent eggs and live fish, just like they condolences to the Eighth Route Army back then.

    Gong Xiaojun drank a lot of wine at night, which is the "Liuzhuang Special Song" produced by Liuzhuang Winery that has just been rated as the city wine.

    Liuzhuang winery is a subsidiary unit of Tongda Group Company led by Liu Fukang. The quality of the wine cannot be said to be good or bad. It is no different from ordinary wine.  It has won four or five gold awards around the world, and it has also been advertised in newspapers and TV stations.  Everyone in Liuzhuang has seen the advertisement broadcast on the city's TV station. The model of the advertisement is Liu Fukang's beautiful wife, Zhao Yaru.  Liu Zhuang's special song is indescribably beautiful, Zhao Yaru said so softly in the TV commercial.  No matter how beautiful Liu Zhuang's special song is, not many people drink it. Nowadays, people have learned it well, and the more famous the wine is, the less they dare to drink it, just like the emperor's daughter, no matter how beautiful the ordinary people are, they dare not think of good things.  In this way, the economic benefits of Liuzhuang winery are not good, which has become Liu Fukang's heart disease.  The idea, and stipulates that in the future, no matter what activities are held in urban areas, counties, streets and towns, these city-level famous brands must be used.  Liu Fukang found that this was a great opportunity to turn the winery into a profit, so he paid more than 200,000 yuan in the evaluation fee, and took the relevant people to Liuzhuang Town, where they went fishing and hunting, karaoke, and went to the county town to take a sauna.  After eating, drinking and having fun for two days, each gave a valuable gift before leaving.

    ?Liu Fukang got his wish, the city wine must be Liuzhuang's special song, and the comprehensive revitalization of Liuzhuang winery is just around the corner.

    Gong Xiaojun's drinking capacity is not small, but after drinking more than half a catty of Liu Zhuang's special tune, he became a little dizzy and couldn't stand still.

    Liu Baoming looked at Gong Xiaojun's suffering, patted his head and said, "Xiaojun, are you okay, people say that Liu Zhuang is not good enough."

    Gong Xiaojun hiccupped and said, "It's not on the head, but on the legs."

    At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Gong Xiaojun and Min went up Liuzhuang Street together with Liu Zhuang's special song on his lap.  There is only one main street in Liuzhuang Town, which is not inferior to the streets in the city.  The street lights are very bright, the road surface is also asphalt, and there are many neon lights flickering, the biggest and brightest is of course the Tongda Group signboard.

    Min followed behind Gong Xiaojun, still seldom speaking, she was thinking of her son Liu Jianguo.  When Liu Jianguo was born, Min almost had an accident because of dystocia.  Originally, Liu Fukang wanted her to go to the county town to give birth, but Kemin said that the commune has clinics and barefoot doctors, so why bother.  Unexpectedly, the dystocia, if Liu Degang had not found a tractor in time to take her to the county hospital, she and Liu JianThe country is already dead.  Now, Min sometimes thinks, it would be better to die at that time, so as not to live like this.

    The east end of the street is the address of Liu Fukang Tongda Group Company. Gong Xiaojun and Min stopped, looked up at the neon lights and did not speak.  This was originally the one-story dormitory for their educated youths, but now it has been replaced by an eight-story building.  Next to the educated youth dormitory, there used to be an open space and a high-earth platform. It was the place where members used to hold criticism meetings, reminiscing bitterness and sweetness, and other member meetings. Now the open space and high-earth platform are gone.  The workshop of the Tongda Group Carpet Factory.

    Gong Xiaojun and Min just walked in tandem, aimlessly.  Less than 200 meters past the Tongda Group Company, it was outside the town. Before they knew it, they came to the statue of Chairman Mao again.

    This is God's will, Gong Xiaojun thought.

    Gong Xiaojun and Min stopped, looking at the gloomy sky and at the statue of Chairman Mao.

    "What's the number today?" Gong Xiaojun asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

    "December 26." Min said without thinking.

    "Do you know what day it is today?" Gong Xiaojun asked again.

    "Chairman Mao's 100th birthday," Min said.

    Min's tone was very flat, like a puddle of clear water in a pond.

    "Let's just sit here." Gong Xiaojun said.

    Min obediently sat down on a big rock by the pond.  ©ú

    "Min, what are you thinking? Didn't you look forward to coming to Liuzhuang for a long time? Why don't you want to talk when you come here?" Gong Xiaojun sat down on Min's right and said.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
