Chapter 1460

Looking at the brightly lit Shangjun County, Su Xinghui's heart was filled with pride. The fact that this city could become what it was now was closely related to him, which gave him a unique sense of accomplishment.

Of course, this city was not built by his own hands. He planned that in the future, when he governed a county, he would personally build a perfect city in his mind. In that case, he would not have lived this rebirth in vain.

Lu Xiaoya pulled Su Xinghui to browse the shops along the road. She wanted to buy him a few summer outfits. Su Xinghui was now a town party secretary, so he couldn't be sloppy with his attire, but Su Xinghui was too busy, and he had neither the time nor the energy to choose clothes properly himself.

Lu Xiaoya bought two combinations of T-shirts and thin dress trousers for Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui also let her buy two dresses for herself.

After buying the clothes, Su Xinghui said, "Let's go visit Grandpa Hou."

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Okay, the last time I went to see Grandpa Hou, he was still talking about you, saying that you hadn't been back for so long again."

Su Xinghui then bought some things with Lu Xiaoya and went to Zhuangyuan Alley.

Zhuangyuan Alley was still the same, but streetlights had been installed inside and outside the alley, which gave the ancient Zhuangyuan Alley a bit more of a modern atmosphere and also provided lighting at night.

These streetlights were clearly designed with care; the streetlights installed here were in the style of ancient palace lanterns, which fit the style of Zhuangyuan Alley quite well.

Su Xinghui knocked on the door of the Hou family, and after a while, the door was opened. It was Hou Guangbi's eldest daughter-in-law who opened the door. Now the entire Hou family had moved back to the old Hou residence, so Hou Guangbi had someone to take care of him specifically.

Su Xinghui entered the door, and Hou Guangbi was sitting under the grape trellis in the courtyard to cool off. Seeing Su Xinghui arrive, he happily pointed to the stone stool next to him and said, "Xinghui, Xiaoya, come and sit."

The two sat down, and naturally, someone served them tea.

Su Xinghui asked with a smile, "Grandpa Hou, are you doing well?"

Hou Guangbi said, "I'm doing very well. I exercise every day now, I don't have to worry so much, and my mood is good, so naturally, my health is good too. Last time Xiaoya came, I said I wanted to go to your Changshan County for a visit."

Hou my lord, who was sitting next to him, said, "Second Uncle, your health is important, so why don't you avoid going to such a far place?"

Hou Guangbi said, "I know my own health. What's far about Changshan? It's much closer than France, right? I went to France and back, and wasn't I just fine?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Grandpa Hou, if you really want to go, then wait another two or three months. By then, the road from our county to Yulin City will be finished, and the road won't be so bumpy. It's not possible to go now; the current road conditions are too poor."

Hou Guangbi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Su Xinghui said to Hou my lord again, "Uncle Hou, it would be good to let Grandpa Hou go to Changshan for a visit. Our Changshan County is at a high altitude and the climate is cool. Even when it's hottest in the summer, the temperature there won't exceed twenty-eight degrees. It has always been a summer resort in our Yulin City. Every summer, the city holds meetings specifically in Changshan."

Hou my lord said, "That sounds pretty good."

Su Xinghui said, "The scenery there is good, and in the future, you can go and stay for two months every summer to spend the hottest weather, so you don't have to be too hot here. It's not good for your health to have the air conditioning on every day. Our Changshan County is a natural air conditioner, and the air is good too. Living there is good for your health."
