"By the way, Mom and Dad, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Let's go get some breakfast." Su Ziying asked her parents. The couple had come to the central town early in the morning, and they were so eager to see their daughter that they hadn't had breakfast either.
When Su Ziying left school, her first thought was to take her parents to the fat lady's steamed bun shop. But then she changed her mind. She realized that she and Li Xiuyuan often went to the fat lady's steamed bun shop for breakfast, and the couple had already misunderstood her.
If I went alone normally, misunderstandings would be fine, but now that I'm bringing my parents along, it wouldn't be good if this fat woman and her husband said something inappropriate and my parents misunderstood.
Actually, there was nothing between her and Li Xiuyuan, and it could be explained clearly, but for some reason, Su Ziying felt a little guilty. She just tried to reassure herself, thinking that it was to reduce trouble.
After sitting down at a breakfast shop, the three of them ate breakfast. Su Ziying looked at her parents and asked how long they could stay.
Zhu Xiaolin looked at her daughter and said, "I'm not leaving today. I'll stay in the county tonight and we can chat. Your dad can't make it here; he has to go back tonight. After all, he's still conducting research. It's already very good that he's been able to come out for a day."
Upon hearing this, Su Ziying looked at her father with some displeasure.
"Dad, why don't you stay one more day? Who works on weekends? My uncle is the same, why did he choose this time to come for research? He should come on Monday, do research for a week, and then rest on the weekend." Su Ziying pouted and said.
"You know, all this work was arranged in advance. Your uncle can't come either, otherwise he would have liked to come and see you," Su's father said with a smile.
After the family had breakfast, they drove around the town for a while before getting in the car and heading to the county.
At noon, Li Xiuyuan did not eat in the canteen. Instead, he deliberately left the town government and went to a restaurant near the town middle school. While eating, he also wanted to observe whether the Audi was still there.
When he discovered the car was gone, Li Xiuyuan didn't go directly to Meilin Village that afternoon. He temporarily put aside the matter of Su Ziying and spent the afternoon in Meilin Village. The dredging project in Meilin Village was progressing quite well.
However, since it was getting dark, Li Xiuyuan and Zhou Jianzhong discussed it and decided to extend the working hours by one hour every day. Of course, this would be considered overtime pay, and they would receive an extra five yuan.
Once April ends, work actually begins in the fields. Initially, spring plowing will begin before the end of April.
"Director Zhou, we need to prepare for the rotation. This matter needs to be made public. When it comes to spring plowing, we need more people to ensure the construction period. During spring plowing, families can take turns working, some a few days earlier and some a few days later. You can communicate and arrange this in detail with everyone. But my requirement is that there must be at least one hundred people working on the construction site every day. The construction period cannot be delayed."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Zhou Jianzhong and said, "Mayor Li, can't we slow down a bit? Spring plowing only takes about half a month, and everyone still wants to earn this money. If we hire more people to rotate, the income of the people on the construction site will decrease."
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Zhou Jianzhong: "Old Zhou, I told you long ago that everything should be done with the big picture in mind. Let me tell you, the county has set a construction period for this project. If you're saying that the decline in everyone's income has led to more people coming in to get a share of the pie, it's because of the Tian brothers and the village's former director and accountant surnamed Tian. They delayed the construction period, which is why we have to make up for it now."
Li Xiuyuan directly pushed the matter onto the Tian brothers, but in reality, he had calculated the completion date. If the project was completed a day ahead of schedule, he and County Chief Yun would have more political achievements, and if it was delayed a day, they would have less. This was the bigger picture.
