Chapter 512 Leaving Nine (1/2)



No action was taken in 1929;

Walking on ice during the coldest and most scorching days of winter;

On the fifth and sixth days of the lunar calendar, we went to admire the willows along the river.

The river thaws in the seventh nine-day period, and the geese return in the eighth nine-day period...

The long winter on the entire Loess Plateau is hidden within the Nine-Nine Song, and Monday, March 13th in the Gregorian calendar, is the day of "leaving the Nine," from which time rainfall increases, spring breezes bring rain, and all things begin to sprout...

On Monday morning, after Li Xiuyuan got up, he originally wanted to go out for some exercise, but a light drizzle started falling outside the window. Li Xiuyuan hadn't paid attention to the weather forecast the day before, and he frowned slightly.

A little drizzle is fine, as long as it doesn't rain heavily.

However, it was definitely too rainy to go for a run, but once he got up, Li Xiuyuan naturally didn't lie back down. He also started looking at some project documents that he had brought back to the dormitory yesterday.

Around 7:30, Wang Zhitao came up and knocked on the door.

"Li Zhen, you're up. It's raining outside. Will it affect today's groundbreaking ceremony?" Wang Zhitao asked with some concern in his eyes. He didn't say anything. Was the groundbreaking ceremony, which was scheduled yesterday, a bit too hasty? Although they were all civil servants and not superstitious, it was definitely not good for the groundbreaking day to rain.

"What's a little drizzle? Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch. It's about time. After we eat, the others should be here soon." Li Xiuyuan led Wang Zhitao and the other man out of the dormitory.

Wang Zhitao was about to open his umbrella, but Li Xiuyuan simply waved and walked into the drizzle. In fact, Li Xiuyuan quite liked the feeling of the drizzle, especially since it was the first rain of spring.

When they arrived at the canteen, while Li Xiuyuan was eating, Wang Zhitao was also busy. Li Xiuyuan was determined to get some raincoats from the flood control office.

After Li Xiuyuan finished his meal, it was almost time. Zhang Yaozong, Zhang Xingdong, and others had all arrived and gathered in Li Xiuyuan's office.

The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled to start at nine o'clock, and there is still time.

Li Xiuyuan told everyone to wait for him while he went upstairs to report to Zhang Xingguo.

Zhang Xingguo looked at Li Xiuyuan with a complicated expression. At the town party committee meeting on Friday, Li Xiuyuan had made him lose all his authority. He also heard that Li Xiuyuan and Lu Zhenhai had been getting quite close over the weekend.

"Why is the groundbreaking ceremony in such a hurry? They didn't give us any time to prepare. The county leaders weren't notified, and it's raining today. Isn't this just making things worse?" Zhang Xingguo was immediately displeased when he heard Li Xiuyuan say that there would be a groundbreaking ceremony in Meilin Village soon. He frowned and said this.

“Secretary Zhang, time waits for no one, and I don’t think it’s appropriate to notify the county leaders about the groundbreaking ceremony. It should have been a project last year, but it’s only being done this year. Why notify the county leaders? Are we just reopening old wounds?” Li Xiuyuan said, smoking a cigarette. Although his voice was gentle, his words left Zhang Xingguo speechless for a long time.

"Hmph, go ahead if you think it's appropriate. Anyway, the project has been handed over to you. I have other plans today and can't go." Zhang Xingguo snorted coldly, his dissatisfaction obvious. He hadn't been informed beforehand, so he wouldn't be attending the groundbreaking ceremony today.

To Zhang Xingguo's surprise, Li Xiuyuan simply nodded, stood up, and said, "Okay, Secretary Zhang, you go ahead with your work, I won't bother you."
