Zhou Lusheng did not expect that he would agree so happily.
After being stunned for a moment, he said, "You kid won't fool the old man, will you?"
Zhang Jiaqiang smiled and said, "How can you do that? You, the old and the new, have been in office for three years. I have to help you collect some firewood no matter what!"
"No, you must be hiding something from me!" Zhou Lusheng looked at him sideways and said.
People are old and horses are old and smart, and it is difficult to deceive elderly people!
Zhang Jiaqiang explained everything that happened on the road.
He also introduced some local conditions in Yinzhou that he learned about.
After hearing this, Zhou Lusheng was so angry that his hands trembled, "You bastards, the country believes in them so much that they actually do something like this. It's not a pity to die!"
Zhang Jiaqiang was afraid that he would be so angry that he would play the string, so he hurriedly poured tea and let him calm down first.
"You have to change your temper. Being angry means punishing yourself with other people's mistakes. Anger is very harmful to the body. Many diseases come from the word "qi". If you really want to do something practical, then control your emotions! "
Zhou Lusheng took a sip of tea, glanced sideways at Zhang Jiaqiang, and nodded slowly.
"Okay, I've been taught a lesson, I'll pay attention in the future!"
At this time, Mrs. Zhou brought two plates of snacks made by herself and curled her lips.
"You talk duplicity every day, your blood pressure reaches 180, and you still don't know how to change your temper. You have a strong family, so you have to keep an eye on him for your aunt. If he still has the same old habits, you will bear with him!"
Zhang Jiaqiang had no choice but to agree first, "Don't worry, I'm optimistic about Uncle Zhou!"
Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Look at how sensible Jia Qiang is. Auntie will prepare dinner soon. I will ask the nanny to buy whatever Jia Qiang likes to eat!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said hurriedly, "I have to rush today, and I really don't have time to stay for dinner. When I come back in a few days, I will definitely try auntie's cooking!"
Mrs. Zhou's face drooped, and she pretended to be angry and said, "You are so busy that you don't even have time to have a meal?"
Zhou Lusheng said, "Let's go after dinner. Fortunately, I haven't told you a lot of things. I'm not in a hurry about this meal!"
Zhang Jiaqiang had no choice but to stay and eat.
Mrs. Zhou happily went to prepare dinner.
Zhou Lusheng touched his chin and said, "So the situation in Yinzhou is very complicated!"
Zhang Jiaqiang nodded and said, "Yes, the situation in Heishui villages and towns can only be seen from the inside. There are many forces similar to the Black Heads and Sons in the local area!
If you had done drastic operations in the past, you would have encountered great resistance, and even major incidents would have occurred. I suggest that it is better to use a thin needle to boil the frog in warm water, and wait until they realize that it has been cooked! "
Zhou Lusheng nodded and said, "Boil a frog in warm water, that's a good idea. It would be great if you could be my assistant. I am lacking helpers this time when I take office alone!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "As a helper, I have prepared one for you, but it may not be easy to use, so you have to think carefully about it!"
He asked the Gao team to come out and let Zhou Lusheng make his own decision.
Zhou Lusheng pondered, "This guy is a coward who is timid and afraid of trouble, but he's better than nothing. At least he can be considered a helper. Thank you!"
The topic changed, "How many factories do you plan to invest in from there?"
Zhang Jiaqiang really plans to take over that piece of land and the food processing factories in Heitou.
It's just that I don't have any money in my pocket to support myself, so relying on Jiang Xinxin's help to delay the situation may not be reliable.
But now that Zhou Lusheng is here, it’s a different story!
He immediately said, "If nothing else, I really plan to invest a big sum this time, but it's a pity that time is a bit tight, and the funds in my hand cannot be withdrawn for the time being!"
It is easier to do things if you have money. If Zhou Lusheng can attract large investments as soon as he takes office, he will naturally secure his position, have abundant funds and have more say.
"I understand, you need time to turn around, please give me a confirmation, how long will it take?"
Zhang Jiaqiang bared his teeth and said, "You should have this patience by mid-September at the latest!"
Zhou Lusheng said, "I hope to see you in Yinzhou before September 15th!"
"Come on, I'm just trying to sell iron, but I'll have to support you when the time comes..."
The two of them had unknowingly talked about the sun setting in the west, and Mrs. Zhou had prepared a sumptuous dinner for them to come over to eat.
Zhou Lusheng took out another bottle of old wine.
However, Zhang Jiaqiang asked him to change to tea on the grounds that he had to drive in a hurry.
Zhou Lusheng originally wanted to take the opportunity to drink, but he had no choice but to resist his alcohol addiction.
However, Mrs. Zhou praised him very much and asked Lao Zhou to learn to drink less.
The meal was very harmonious as we chatted about home-cooked food, during which we chatted about our children.
Now the son of the old couple, Zhou Xiangqian, works in Qindao and rarely goes home to see them.
When she heard that Zhang Jiaqiang was going to Qindao, the old lady immediately asked him to bring something for her child.
Zhang Jiaqiang agreed immediately. At this moment, his curiosity burst out again and he asked.
"I see there is a family photo of your family under the glass plate. That boy must be Brother Zhou when he was a child!"
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, that was taken in 1976 when your Uncle Zhou just changed his career in Gushan. The boy is forward, the girl is..."
Zhou Lusheng had a dry cough, and Mrs. Zhou stopped talking and quickly advised Zhang Jiaqiang to eat vegetables.
Zhang Jiaqiang tried several times to ask about the whereabouts of the familiar girl, but finally held back.
After all, it is a person's privacy. If they don't want to tell me if I continue to ask, everyone will be embarrassed.
The delay at Zhou's house was quite long, and it was past seven o'clock after dinner.
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't want Tiezhu to drive at night again, so he asked him to drive to Wangjiacun, where he planned to stay one night and leave for Qindao tomorrow morning.
Less than half a month after leaving, Wangjiacun has changed drastically.
First of all, the drought has been resolved, and the terraces are full of lush crops. It seems that the villagers will have a bumper harvest this autumn.
When the Gees car entered the village entrance, its bright lights and domineering body immediately attracted the attention of many urchins.
They shouted and gathered around.
"Look, tank!"
"Nonsense, this is a car!"
"This is not a car, this is a tank!"
Tie Zhu honked the horn to drive away these children who were blocking the road, but they were not afraid at all. Instead, they got even more excited and blocked the front of the car.
Zhang Jiaqiang had no choice but to open the door and get out of the car.
"The watch giver is here again!"
"Red envelope, I want a red envelope!"
This group of children immediately surrounded Zhang Jiaqiang.
"Get out of the way, are you looking for a fight?"
With a roar in the distance, these children fled in all directions.
"Jia Qiang, you are back!"
Zhang Jiaqiang saw that the person speaking was the new village chief Zhigang.
"Yes, I plan to stay one night and then leave. Are Xiaozhen and the others at home?"
Zhigang looked very excited when he saw Zhang Jiaqiang, "Here, now Xiaoliang has learned well and pesters Xiaozhen to take care of the crops every day. I see, everyone's harvest is good this year, thanks to the water pumps you donated!"
Zhang Jiaqiang did not get in the car again, and walked to his grandma's house with Zhigang.
On the way, I asked about the canal project.
Zhigang said with hope, "Construction has already started and will be completed in October at most. By next year, with these canals, our village's food production can double!"
As he spoke, Zhang Jiaqiang reached the door of his home. He pulled Zhigang and knocked on the door of his grandma's house.
