Chapter 1021: Hackett Is Coming

The little boy looked very delicate, and he was so well-behaved, cute, and polite that Su Xinghui liked him very much. He asked the little boy, "Little brother, what is your name?"

The little boy said, "My name is Yan Xiaole."

Su Xinghui said, "This name is good."

Yan Xiaole said, "My father gave it to me. He hopes I will be happy every day."

Su Xinghui asked, "Then are you happy?"

The smile on Yan Xiaole's face disappeared immediately. He shook his head and said, "I'm not happy. My parents haven't returned for a long time."

Su Xinghui felt a sourness in his heart. He asked, "Xiaole, where is your home? When are you going home? Do you want Uncle to send you home?"

A middle-aged man next to him said, "Town Mayor, don't bother you. His home is in Dongtang Village, not far from my home. I will take him home when I go home later."

Yan Xiaole also said sensibly, "Uncle, you don't need to send me. I'm still playing in the town for a while, and Uncle Cheng will take me home later."

Su Xinghui originally wanted to go to the Yan family to see, but since Yan Xiaole still wanted to play in the town for a while and there were acquaintances from his family present, he could only nod, "Okay, Xiaole, play for a while and then go home with Uncle Cheng. Don't run around blindly. Uncle will go to see you next time."

Yan Xiaole nodded, "Thank you, Uncle! I won't run around blindly."

Su Xinghui waved to him again and left the scene of guessing lantern riddles with Lu Xiaoya.

Lu Xiaoya was carrying the lotus lantern. This lotus lantern was tied by the people of the cultural station themselves. It was quite beautiful and unique. Originally, Lu Xiaoya liked this lantern very much and was quite happy, but now she was a little unhappy, and her walking was a little listless.

Su Xinghui was carrying his orchid lantern, walking side by side with Lu Xiaoya. He asked Lu Xiaoya, "Comrade Lu Xiaoya, why are you a little unhappy?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "I just think Xiaole is a pitiful child. Why do his parents go out to work and not come back?"

Su Xinghui said, "Sigh, who makes the countryside poor."

Lu Xiaoya said, "But isn't Pengjiawan planting vegetables now? Income is also increasing."

Su Xinghui said, "Planting vegetables is not as good as working in big cities. It's good to have a net income of 2,000 yuan after deducting expenses for planting a few acres of vegetables. But the two of them work in the city, with food and housing included, and can save at least 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a year. And the vegetables at home are not delayed. Isn't this equivalent to earning two portions of money?"

Lu Xiaoya nodded, "Also, there are too many surplus laborers in the countryside now, and it is very normal for them to go out to work."

Su Xinghui said, "And they are used to staying in big cities. When they return to the countryside, they feel uncomfortable. Can they not want to stay in big cities?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Xinghui, then you have to find a way to get them back. Leaving the children at home, the children are too pitiful."

Su Xinghui said, "It will be better when the electrical appliance factory starts construction. The electrical appliance factory recruits quite a few people, at least several hundred, and the treatment is also good. It should be able to attract some people back. The Changjiangdaqiao project and the expressway project should also be able to digest some labor. However, there are indeed too few enterprises in Pengjiawan Town, and we need to introduce a few more to attract the people who go out to work back." ===== CHAPTER 1023 =====
