Chapter 311 Yang Fugen Arrives in Hong Kong
Yue Ning went to the port in person to wait for Yang Yonggen and others to pass through customs. Yang Yonggen and Aunt Chunmei had been to the port city before, and today they came here with Secretary Fugen.
Yang Yonggen set up a breeding farm. The ducks and geese produced were slaughtered and cut by Cui Ji Food Processing Factory. The foie gras was monopolized by Durand Group, which established a foie gras sub-line and opened up the market with these mid- and low-priced foie gras.
Goose and duck down are processed and sold to the Zhao family's clothing factory. Goose and duck meat are cut and made into frozen products for sale.
These frozen ducks and geese are cheap, and no tickets are required. They are not enough to supply several meat stores in Yuecheng.
During those years in the northwest, it was Aunt Chunmei and mother-in-law who took care of them father and daughter in the early years. Fortunately, Secretary Fugen retired and returned, which saved her father and Uncle Mo from suffering. After her father died, Uncle Agen happened to become the brigade veterinarian and has been taking care of her ever since.
She repaid the kindness of Aunt Chunmei and Uncle Agen, but Secretary Fugen didn't want anything, saying that it was his job.
This time, Yue Ning wrote him a letter early, sent him a telegram, and also sent him the train and plane tickets he had bought, to see if he would be willing to waste these things, so he invited the couple over.
Seeing Secretary Fugen in a half-worn gray-blue Zhongshan suit and Aunt Hehua in a homespun two-piece shirt with a scarf tied on her head, Yue Ning ran over to them, "Secretary Fugen, Aunt Hehua."
Secretary Fugen looked at her carefully: "Yue Ning! You have completely changed into a different person."
"You are the only one who hasn't changed." Yue Ning was a little angry, "I sent you something, but you didn't want it."
Yue Ning donated money to the brigade, and she also sent things to Secretary Fugen. She knew that Secretary Fugen put the people's difficulties first, and sometimes ignored the difficulties of his family. He took the things and gave them to the needy, and his family could not make ends meet.
Aunt Hehua was so angry that she cried and scolded her husband. Secretary Fugen did the same thing after being scolded. Yue Ning wanted to send some things and coupons to their family so that they could live a better life. Even if Secretary Fugen was helping the needy, Aunt Hehua didn't need to cry.
This time it was Aunt Lotus who shook her head: "My husband and I can farm and raise sheep, and you also spend money on our brigade. Those poor families have enough to survive, and you even built a big water cellar so that they have enough food and daily necessities. Even if the higher-ups want to transfer him to be the deputy township head, I don't agree."
"My uncle Fugen is going to be promoted, Aunt, why don't you agree?" Yue Ning pulled Aunt Hehua and asked.
Aunt Hehua glared at the man and said, "Now that Xiaoyanggou has you to support us, everyone is living a good life. He doesn't have to give away all the things he has at home. If he takes charge of the village, he won't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, and the family will have to live a tight life again. What should I do?"
Secretary Fugen said unhappily, "That's all you think."
Aunt Lotus said, "What about the whole family? If you become an official, we will be left with nothing."
"Secretary Fugen, it is right for us to take care of our own family first and then the public." Yue Ning hurriedly advised the old couple.
"We are here to have a feast this time. It's a good day for Yue Ning. I won't argue with you." Aunt Hehua said.
The two stopped arguing, and Lei Lei hugged Yue Ning's legs. The little boy looked up and said, "Big sister."
Yue Ning bent down and picked up the child: "Leilei, let's go to big sister's house for dinner!"
A group of people got on the van. Aunt Hehua deliberately did not sit with Yang Fugen. She sat with Lu Chunmei.
In recent years, Qiao Junxian's Yimei Factory has been successful in everything it does. Electric rice cookers are hot-selling in China, and egg cookers and toasters are hot-selling in the European and American markets. Now he has begun to abandon his original electric fan business and turn to kitchen appliances.
At the beginning of this year, a microwave oven was developed. He and Yue Ning personally filmed the commercial. Yue Ning is a chef, and the effect of shooting small home appliance commercials for PN in the past few years was obvious. Sales immediately increased.
Now that factory construction in the mainland has been gradually liberalized, Qiao Junxian has built another factory in Pengcheng.
A Biao joined the new factory and became the production manager. Xiu Xiu is good at English and is now the customer service manager.
Both children earn a lot of money. The old couple works on a breeding farm and also earns a good income. The whole family often comes to the port city for a visit.
Lu Chunmei is now familiar with Gangcheng and can talk about it with her old sisters in great detail.
Yang Fugen had been out of the small mountain village before, but he had never been to the port city. He was stunned when he saw the skyscrapers and the cars coming and going on the road.
The van drove up the mountain road, which was lined with green trees. Looking down the mountain, we could see the view of Victoria Harbour.
The car drove into the open parking lot. Yue Ning got out first, took Lei Lei from Ge Yueqin, and carried Lei Lei out of the car.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Aunt Hehua unconsciously put the cloth bag in her hand behind her and looked down at the cloth shoes on her feet.
Yang Fugen looked at his half-worn Zhongshan suit. They arrived in Pengcheng yesterday morning. Brothers Zhongyi and Agen said they wanted to take him and his wife to buy new clothes, but he refused to go. Hardship and simplicity were fine traditions. His clothes were not patched at all. He only wore them when he went to meetings in the township or county. There was nothing shameful about them.
But in this county, the most people can go to is the Great Hall of the People. Where can there be a house of this magnitude?
Yue Ning said: "Uncle, aunt, let's go in."
Aunt Lotus said, "How lucky you are to live in a house like this. Is this what the imperial palace is like?"
Yue Ning laughed and said, "When we go back, I'll ask my friends in Beijing to take you to the Forbidden City to see where the emperor and empress lived. It's different!"
The group was about to turn around the screen wall and walk inside. Dahei, who was wearing a red brocade dress, ran all the way from the Nine-Curve Bridge. When he saw Secretary Fugen and Aunt Hehua, he called out. Yang Yonggen said with a gloomy face: "Dahei, who is this? I don't recognize him?"
Dahei took a closer look and wagged his tail.
"Dahei's fur is shiny and glossy, and he's wearing clothes." Aunt Hehua looked at the dog.
Leilei saw Dahei and twisted to come down. Yue Ning let her down, and the little girl chased the big dog all the way inside.
Yang Fugen saw a man across the pond and called out in surprise, "Lao Mo?"
Mo Weiwen came over quickly: "Secretary Fugen."
Yang Fugen went over and held Mo Weiwen's hand: "Old Mo, it's been six or seven years since we last met, right?"
He looked Mo Weiwen up and down carefully: "You are fatter than before, are you healthy? How are your legs?"
Hearing Yang Fugen's caring question, Mo Weiwen couldn't help but think of those most difficult days, the cold winter in the northwest, when those people pushed him outside in the snow and made him kneel down to repent, freezing his legs. It was Yang Fugen who came back to be the secretary, and he would not allow those people to torture him and Zhirong like this again.
Mo Weiwen's voice choked with sobs: "All right, everything is fine. My legs are much better now, and they don't get sick as often."
"That's good!"
Mo Weiwen turned to look at Zhuang Baoru and her two daughters: "Secretary Fugen, Sister Hehua, this is my teacher Zhuang and her two daughters."
Zhuang Baoru heard Mo Weiwen mention Secretary Fugen countless times. She said, "Secretary Fugen, sister, hello! I am Zhuang Baoru. Thank you for taking care of Weiwen for so many years."
"Hello, uncle and aunt!" Xiaoying and Xiaoya also hurried to greet them.
Mo Weiwen said, "Let's go and see Junxian and Ningning's new house."
"Secretary Fugen, you and my uncle go and look at the house. I'm going to cook."
Their wedding was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Just like the wedding of my brother and sister-in-law, Yue Ning and Qiao Junxian have a lot of friends of their own, and the Qiao family has so many relatives and friends, so the banquet has to be divided into three days. Yue Ning was afraid that he would not have time to properly entertain Secretary Fugen and others, so he asked them to come two days in advance to see the new house first. Tomorrow, someone will take them to visit the port city.
Mo Weiwen and his wife took them to see the new house. Lu Chunmei and Yang Zhongyi had already been there. Leilei wanted to play with Dahei, so the two of them stayed downstairs to look after the children.
Lotus looked at the crystal arch lights in the main building's lobby and asked, "Isn't this really a palace?"
Walking all the way up, how could these farmers in the northwest imagine this?
Lotus looked around and said, "Is this Xiao Yue really a capitalist?"
Ge Yueqin stood behind Hehua. "Sister-in-law, Ningning is not only a capitalist, but also a big capitalist. But! As long as the capitalist does not always think about exploitation, but thinks about helping everyone live a good life, he is a good capitalist."
After Ge Yueqin said this, Mo Weiwen told Zhuang Baoru and their daughters: "At that time, Secretary Fugen asked me to write an ideological report to reflect on the mistakes I made as a descendant of a capitalist. At that time, Secretary Fugen said privately, what capitalists, poor peasants, rich peasants, we are human beings first..."
"Lao Mo, I know you and Zhirong are both good people, but I...please forgive me." Yang Fugen sighed slightly. He had no choice at that time. "How nice it would be if Xiaoyue could live a life like this? Alas!"
"Zhirong is sick. We all know the medical conditions. You have done your best." Mo Weiwen also felt sad.
Qiao Junxian came upstairs: "Aunt, uncle, uncles and aunts, come downstairs for dinner."
"Come on, let's go downstairs to eat."
Mo Weiwen accompanied Yang Fugen downstairs.
The Qiao family downstairs came over, and the Qiao family's great grandfather from Shanghai also came. Lei Lei saw his little brother Jun Jun, and the two children were chattering. Shan Shan was less than two years old, and he only half understood what his brothers and sisters were talking, so he had to interrupt. The children were chattering and talking excitedly.
Qiao Junshen picked up his son and said, "Shanshan, let's go wash our hands and have dinner."
Everyone sat down, and Aunt Lotus shouted, "Are there any more Gaza? Beef or mutton?"
After she finished speaking she realized that she was the only one with a particularly loud voice and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Yue Ning came over and shouted back at her: "It's beef, and it's two pounds of beef and half a year of potatoes. I'm sure you like it."
The eldest sister-in-law also spoke in a loud voice: "Ningning, which one is Gaza?"
"This." Yue Ning pointed at a dish, "Junjun will definitely like it too."
Qiao Qiming said: "Her uncle, her aunt, don't stand, sit down!"
"Secretary Fugen, we two old brothers haven't seen each other and talked for many years." Mo Weiwen and Zhuang Baoru sat down at the table with Yang Fugen and He Hua.
