Chapter 2007

Su Xinghui walked over, put down the things with Shen Hao, and greeted him to sit down together. He said: "I went to Jiangcheng on business. The business went smoothly, so I had time to come back and take a look, so I specially came to see Grandpa Hou and Uncle Hou!"

Hou Guangbi asked with a smile: "What business did you go to Jiangcheng for? You are now a county magistrate in Jiangyou Province, how could you have business in Jiangcheng?"

Su Xinghui said: "Two things. One is that I plan to build a Changjiangdaqiao between our Chongjin County and Xiangjia County. The second is to request Hudong Province to provide counterpart support to our Chongjin County with a group of experts in schistosomiasis prevention and control. Provincial Governor Wan has agreed."

Hou Guangbi said: "You are going to build a Changjiangdaqiao again?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Yes, otherwise it's too inconvenient for us to cross the river there. This morning we took the ferry to cross the river and waited for more than an hour. If we could build a Changjiangdaqiao, it would only take a few minutes to cross the river, and it would be safer too."

Hou Guangbi nodded and said: "This is a good thing. How much funding is needed? Just tell Wenhai. This year he earned a lot of money for our Hou Group, and the liquid funds on hand are quite abundant."

Su Xinghui said: "Well, I'll tell them all when the time comes, and let them each contribute some funds. This matter should be solved. It's still according to the BOT method."

Hou Guangbi said: "Good, let you solve these things. I just want to enjoy some happiness now."

Su Xinghui said: "Grandpa Hou, whenever you have time, you can go to our Chongjin County to take a look. The scenery of Yanglan Lake in our Chongjin County is very good. Now there are many water birds there, swans, white cranes, and so on. The scene is very spectacular."

Hou Guangbi nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I'll go when I'm free. By the way, what's going on with that schistosomiasis prevention and control matter?"

Su Xinghui said: "Our Chongjin County is a lake area, and you should know about lake areas; schistosomiasis is very prevalent. Currently, our Chongjin County still has tens of thousands of schistosomiasis patients, but our county's medical conditions and levels are very limited, so I wanted to ask Hudong Province to support a group of experts, and Provincial Governor Wan has already agreed."

Hou Guangbi said: "Do you need money? If you need money, I will donate a sum of money personally."

Hou Guangbi grew up in Shangjun County. There were quite a few schistosomiasis patients in Shangjun County before liberation. He naturally knew the horror of this disease. After hearing Su Xinghui's words, he wanted to help Su Xinghui contribute his strength.

Su Xinghui said happily: "Then I will express my gratitude to you on behalf of those patients in our county!"

Hou Guangbi said: "That's good. Give me an account number later, and I'll remit it directly to you. This is a little bit of my personal heart. If you need the Hou Group to contribute, tell Wenhai and the others."
