Chapter 286 Chen Ruiqing
“According to the rules, Chen Ruiqing is a person undergoing labor reform here, and he is not allowed to contact the outside world,” Xu Shouzhong said, glancing at Sheng Xiping.
"Yes, I understand. I hope Secretary Xu will make an exception and let me meet with him briefly to say a few words."
Sheng Xiping certainly knew these things. People like Chen Ruiqing mostly did the hardest and most tiring work, and were almost completely isolated from the world.
Normally, they are not allowed to talk to the people they work with, let alone outsiders.
Sheng Xiping didn't want to put anyone in a difficult position, but no matter what, he had to meet with them and have a talk so he could have an excuse to cover up his lie later.
"Young man, are you in a hurry? I'm saying we should follow the rules."
However, Ruiqing has just made a contribution, and none of the people watching him are here. Besides, he's about to be removed from his post, so it's fine not to follow the rules.
"If you want to see me, it's no problem." Xu Shouzhong waved his hand and laughed; he had said that on purpose.
Putting everything else aside, he had to make an exception for the sake of Qiao Yongliang and Director Su.
Besides, he greatly admired Chen Ruiqing and knew that Chen Ruiqing missed his family. Now that someone had come to inquire, he had to do him a favor.
“Brother Chen, those people outside are all from the family. You all know he’s been out here for a few years now. If he’s thinking about outsiders, he might be interested in his family.”
Is Tong Yufu some kind of special person who can become the Party Secretary of such a small gold mine? I understood Han Xiuyun's meaning at that moment.
"Thank you also, Yongliang, Secretary Zhao, and Secretary Xu. Without their help, Sheng Xiping would have been promoted long ago."
Han Xiuyun could roughly guess why Sheng Xiping was willing to talk, and she could also see that Xu Shouzhong was slow to speak, so she simply made the suggestion.
Upon hearing this, everyone else outside sighed.
No one answered from inside, and then they went out.
"Wife, we have guests from outside. Prepare some hearty dishes for dinner." As soon as she stepped back from the door, Han Xiuyun called out softly.
"Oh, the younger brother you met at Jingsheng's wedding came from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau to congratulate Jingsheng and drink the wedding wine."
In front of Da Zhang, Xu Shouzhong also addressed Sheng Xiping as Xiping.
"Zhang, go out first, boil some water, and make a pot of tea."
Qiao Yongliang did not answer Tong Yufu's question directly, but waved his hand, signaling Da Zhang to leave.
Although Tong Yufu's words were addressed to Tong Yufu, they were actually meant for Tong Yufu.
He can give me his address, or you can give it to him; when you go to the provincial capital on business, you can both help him send a message.”
"It has to be Old Zhao, your confidant. Alright, let's see his sister-in-law's cooking tonight." Tong Yufu laughed and closed his eyes to rest.
From Jiapigou Gold Mine to Huangnihe Forest Farm, it's been less than ten days since we left.
Zhang nodded with a smile and followed Han Xiuyun and Xu Shouzhong out. They escorted us directly to the small gate of the mine and watched us get out of the car.
"You two get along really well, so let's have your older brother stay at our place for a couple of days." Tong Yufu said to his wife, pulling Xu Shouzhong along.
"There are some people in the village, just the few of us, plus Lao Zhao, what do you think?"
Xu Shouzhong smiled and replied, "No matter what you say, it's all bad when you see people."
Unfortunately, Zhao Minchu also ruined the food, leaving it all under the table.
"Da Zhang, go and call Tong Yu over. Don't you have any work to discuss with me?"
"Old Xu, it's been a while since we last got together, right? Oh, he's busy tonight?"
If that's true, it's possible that if Tong Yufu said so, I would offer to help; I really do have that much free time.
"Okay, it's settled then. You have nothing to do, so you went out to see them off?"
The Qiao family's eight mud-brick houses were quite tidy, though the area outside was rather narrow.
Seeing Da Zhang leave, Qiao Yongliang then led Tong Yufu to look at Xu Shouzhong and Han Xiuyun sitting over there.
Next, it was Tong Yufu and Qiao Yongliang's turn to offer wine, and the seven of them exchanged a few words.
Let's wait and see, until I've actually taken off that hat.
After the car stopped at the venue, everyone got in. Xu Shouzhong made an excuse that he hadn't drunk enough at noon and needed to relieve himself. He then stopped by a store and bought some things.
That wasn't just a prelude, a way to leave oneself a way out.
After saying that, Han Xiuyun clinked glasses with the seven people, then tilted her head back and finished the wine in her glass.
"Zhang'er, see Director Qiao and Comrade Sheng off for you." Tong Yufu waved his hand, signaling to Zhang.
"Alright, Brother Ruiqing, we've seen him, so we need to go back to the forest farm."
I've been away from home for seven or seven years, and I haven't heard from my family since. To be honest, I usually miss them.
Qiao Yongliang nodded to Han Xiuyun, indicating that he understood what she meant.
Seven people sat on the kang (heated brick bed) in the east room, also taking care of these matters, and finished eating and drinking.
The farm has about 100 employees and over 10,000 hectares of forest land under its jurisdiction, with an annual logging volume of about 7,000 cubic meters.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping was overjoyed. "Oh, thank you so much, Secretary Xu!"
Your family doesn't know where they are yet, so I'm just troubling you, brother."
Qiao Yongliang nodded to Xu Shouzhong and the other six, then called out to them.
Xu Shouzhong was about to say something when Zhang, carrying a tray, came back and poured tea for everyone.
Huangnihe Forest Farm is located east of the Jiapigou Commune. It was established in 1987 and was then under the jurisdiction of the County Forestry Bureau.
You have to mention that drink first, no matter what. Old Zhao, I'm sorry, I stole his job.
"Do you know who commissioned him to inquire about you?" Sheng Xiping's voice trembled as he said that.
Xu Shouzhong immediately recognized that the person following behind was Sheng Xiping.
"Yes, he used it. He came all the way here to inquire about your whereabouts, and he left without feeling too bad about it."
