Chapter 1459

After Fu Weiping left, Su Xinghui remained busy every day, but now with Ma Sheng, Lu Xianghui, and others, he was not as busy as he had been in the previous few months.

One weekend, he returned home to see his parents, and of course, Lu Xiaoya. It had been three or four months since the Spring Festival, and he had only returned home once, mainly because he was too busy. Now that he was slightly more at leisure, he naturally had to go home to see them; otherwise, he would be letting Lu Xiaoya down too much.

He returned on Friday afternoon, and by the time he arrived home, it was already past six o'clock. Lu Xiaoya was helping Guo Suhua cook in his house. Seeing Su Xinghui return, she said with great joy, "Xinghui, sit for a while, dinner will be ready soon."

Su Xinghui agreed and sat down on the sofa in the living room, chatting with his father.

Although Su Wenjun rarely sat down to chat with his son, this did not mean he did not care about him. It was just that as a man, he was not good at expressing his emotions. He usually listened to his wife and son talk to understand his son's situation.

Now that the father and son had the opportunity to sit and chat, Su Wenjun only asked in a very plain manner about his son's work and life in Changshan County.

After only a few words, Lu Xiaoya came out with the dishes: "Dinner is served!"

The father and son got up to wash their hands, Su Xinghui went to the kitchen to help bring out the dishes, and the family sat happily around the dining table to eat.

The table was filled with all the dishes Su Xinghui loved. Guo Suhua said, "Xinghui, these dishes were all made by Xiaoya. When she heard you were coming back today, she was so happy that she went to the market to buy the groceries herself, and she even took a half-day off in the afternoon to cook for you at home. Everything was prepared, and she only started stir-frying when she guessed you were about to return."

Su Xinghui looked at Lu Xiaoya and said, "Xiaoya, thank you!"

Lu Xiaoya said, "I was just afraid that the food in Changshan wouldn't suit your taste, so I made you more of what you like."

Su Xinghui said, "I'm used to eating anywhere; the food in Changshan isn't that different from Shangjun."

Guo Suhua said, "I think you've forgotten your home because you're having such a good time. You've been in Changshan for so long, how many times have you come back?"

Su Xinghui said, "It's really because I've been too busy lately. Mom, you don't know, but during this time, we've had to develop animal husbandry, and many enterprises have come to invest in our place. I couldn't be away from anything, so I was truly tied up. Now it has finally come to an end, and since things have started, it won't be as difficult later on. I expect I'll be able to come back more often in the future."

Guo Suhua said, "That's more like it. We don't mind, but you've rarely come home since you started university. I'm just afraid you'll neglect Xiaoya."

Su Xinghui said, "In another two or three months, when our newly built Changyu Highway is finished, you can also come to visit us in Changshan County. The summer in Changshan County is very cool, and the scenery is beautiful. A few days ago, CCTV even sent a film crew to our place to shoot a documentary on the scenery. I expect that in a while, you'll be able to see it on TV."

Guo Suhua became interested all of a sudden: "Really? Will you be on TV?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "I should be. When Director Fu Weiping was filming in Matou Town, I accompanied him the whole time. I told him the origins of some of the historical sites in Matou Town, and at that time, the cameraman filmed us into the footage."

Guo Suhua said, "That's wonderful, we'll be able to see our son on TV."

Lu Xiaoya said to Su Wenjun and Guo Suhua, "Uncle, Auntie, the scenery in Changshan County is really beautiful, it's just that the roads are a bit difficult to travel. When the Changyu Highway is finished, we can really go for a visit."

Su Wenjun smiled and nodded: "Good, when the time comes, we'll go together to see the place where Xinghui works."

After the family finished dinner, Su Xinghui accompanied Lu Xiaoya out for a stroll. Even at night, Shangjun County was very lively now, with many shops open. The main road of Shangjun County, Shangjun Avenue, had also been widened a few months ago. It was now a wide, straight road with eight lanes in total, and there were beautiful streetlights on both sides of the street. When the streetlights lit up at night, they made Shangjun County look exceptionally beautiful.

Come to think of it, this was an idea Su Xinghui had suggested to Zhang Kaishan. Initially, Shangjun Avenue was only two lanes wide. Zhang Kaishan had thought about taking the opportunity of the old city renovation to widen it to four lanes, but Su Xinghui said that the road needed to be built wider to adapt to the needs of future development.

Su Xinghui knew what the situation would be like twenty years later. Twenty years later, the number of cars in Shangjun County would have increased many times over. At that time, Shangjun Avenue would still be a four-lane road, but it would often be blocked solid. At that time, the county government would always want to widen the road again, but there would be no space left to do so.

As the city's main thoroughfare, Shangjun Avenue was lined with shops on both sides, all mature commercial storefronts that had formed a commercial center. If they wanted to widen the road, they would need to demolish thousands of shops at once. What kind of cost would that require? So, by that time, widening it would be completely impossible.

Consequently, because of the lack of foresight in the previous urban planning, Shangjun Avenue remained a four-lane road, not only failing to serve its purpose as a main thoroughfare but often becoming a bottleneck for the city.

Since Su Xinghui had been reborn, he naturally could not let this happen. He persuaded Zhang Kaishan to take advantage of the fact that there were not many shops on both sides of Shangjun Avenue yet and the demolition costs were not very high, to widen Shangjun Avenue as much as possible.

In fact, according to Su Xinghui's opinion, widening Shangjun Avenue to ten lanes was very necessary, but Zhang Kaishan felt that ten lanes were a bit too wide and did not match the current level of prosperity in Shangjun County. Thus, he finally made the decision to widen it to eight lanes.

To be honest, Shangjun Avenue was now one of the best in the entire Yulin City. A straight road thirty meters wide and five kilometers long was very eye-catching.

Now there were also wide sidewalks on both sides of the road, and the areas next to the sidewalks had also been built into shops. As for the residents of the old city, most of them had now been relocated to new residential areas, which were close to Zhong Ming Lake and had a better living environment than the old city. It was also very convenient to go to the old city for shopping, as the county town had now opened two bus lines that could reach every part of the county.
