Chapter 3371
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival was approaching. Su Xingyun's family arrived in Baozhou on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month to celebrate Su Wenjun's birthday.
It was Su Xingyun's family's first time in Baozhou. In their imagination, Baozhou should be a relatively backward place. Who knew that upon arriving in Baozhou, they found that Baozhou's urban construction work was done quite well, and it was also very prosperous and lively, with a style different from the south, which they found very interesting.
Su Xingyun's son, Tan Weisheng, was fifteen years old this year. He was taller than Tan Mingcheng, already over 1.7 meters, but he was very thin and looked a bit timid when seeing his uncle.
Seeing him, Su Xinghui was very affectionate. He rubbed Tan Weisheng's head hard and said: "Weisheng, you're in the third year of junior high this year, right?"
Tan Weisheng nodded: "Hmm, third year of junior high."
Su Xinghui asked: "Then why are you so thin? Eat more every day."
Su Xingyun said: "He actually eats quite a lot, but he just doesn't gain weight, he just grows taller."
Su Xinghui said: "This is also normal. Now is the age of puberty and growth. Look at how tall he is now; he will definitely be a big guy in the future. In a few years, he should gain some weight, but he still needs to strengthen his exercise."
Tan Mingcheng said: "He just doesn't like to exercise, completely different from you, his uncle. But the schoolwork is too intense now. There's no way; it's the third year of junior high now, and there's the high school entrance exam. He has to read books every day and has no time to exercise."
Su Xinghui looked at Tan Weisheng's glasses and shook his head: "You still have to exercise your body well. Health is the capital of revolution. But his studies should be quite good, right?"
Su Xingyun said proudly: "We don't have to worry about his studies. He has never been lower than the top three in every exam. He said he also wants to take the Jiangcheng University that his uncle attended."
Su Xinghui looked at Tan Weisheng. Tan Weisheng was looking at him, and his eyes revealed a sense of worship. It seemed he really regarded his uncle as an idol.
This was not surprising. With Su Xinghui's achievements, he was indeed worthy of his worship. Worshiping such an uncle was much better than worshiping those unknown stars.
Su Xinghui said: "That's good. Uncle hopes you can get into Jiangcheng University. When the time comes, Uncle will give you a gift. You can have whatever you want."
A look of anticipation appeared on Tan Weisheng's face: "Really? Uncle?"
Su Xinghui nodded: "Of course it's true. When has Uncle ever lied to you?"
Tan Weisheng nodded hard. Although he only saw this uncle once a year, he had never broken his word to him. Every New Year when he came to his uncle's house, his uncle would give him a gift. Today's words from his uncle gave him another expectation for studying hard.
Watching Tan Weisheng go to play with Niu Niu, Su Xinghui also had some emotions. When he had just been reborn, Tan Weisheng was only three years old, but now he was so big. Time had passed in a flash for almost twelve years.
In these twelve years of rebirth, his life trajectory had completely changed, and he had also made great achievements. But this was not enough. In the rest of his life, he would also use his greatest efforts to build greater achievements.
After celebrating his father's birthday, Su Xinghui asked Lu Xiaoya to accompany his parents and sister's family to play in several famous scenic spots in Baozhou for two days. During these few days, he was participating in some activities of the Baozhou Municipal Government, such as participating in some performances and other activities organized by the Baozhou CPPCC, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and the People's Congress, and also visiting grassroots masses and ordinary cadres and employees.
In a calligraphy and painting activity held by the Baozhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles to welcome the New Year, Su Xinghui also accepted the invitation of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to write a poem, "Bu Suan Zi: Ode to the Plum Blossom," by a great man in public. This poem was just right for the Spring Festival, and Su Xinghui's calligraphy was also unanimously praised by the members of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles on the spot and was announced to be collected by the Baozhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Su Xinghui also represented the Baozhou Municipal Government to visit some grassroots departments to see the ordinary masses and employees who were still sticking to their posts during the Spring Festival, especially the three industrial parks of Angao, Mapu, and Weiqi. Although it was the Spring Festival, many enterprises had not stopped production and were continuing to produce because they still had many orders.
This was the first time Su Xinghui had participated in such an activity in Baozhou. His arrival made these grassroots ordinary masses and employees very happy. They were high-spirited because Su Xinghui had very high prestige in Baozhou City. These masses all knew that Su Xinghui could be said to be the key person who single-handedly created the new Baozhou. With him, there was the prosperous scene of Baozhou today.
On New Year's Eve, Su Xinghui took the initiative to be on duty. His family supported his decision. This was the first time in so many years that Su Xinghui had not eaten the reunion dinner with his family.
Yin Zhe, Zhai Yingjie, and another staff member of the office, Fu Haiping, were on duty with Su Xinghui that day. They spent the day together in the duty room and watched the Spring Festival Gala in the duty room.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xinghui participated in the group greeting held by the Baozhou Municipal Government and spent a happy and peaceful Spring Festival with people from all walks of life in Baozhou.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xinghui took Lu Xiaoya and Niu Niu to the capital to pay New Year's calls to elders such as Old Yu, Premier Nan, Gu Shanmin, and Hou Guangbi. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, they flew to Yangcheng to pay New Year's calls to Lu Zhenghong and his wife.
Last year, due to the SARS epidemic, Lu Xiaoya and Niu Niu did not go to Yangcheng to pay New Year's calls, which had always been a regret for Lu Xiaoya. This year, Lu Xiaoya specially asked for a few more days off. She wanted to stay in Yangcheng with Niu Niu for a few more days to accompany her parents to make up for last year's regret.
After all, Lu Zhenghong and his wife were already nearly sixty years old. As a daughter, Lu Xiaoya could not always fulfill her filial piety by her parents' side, which already made her feel unfilial. If she couldn't even do the annual New Year's call, she would find it hard to forgive herself.
Du Zhiqian was still the one picking them up at Yangcheng Airport. He was still Lu Zhenghong's secretary. After picking up Su Xinghui's family, he led them out of the airport and got into an Ernest van. This van was a new product of the Ernest Company and was very suitable for leaders to ride in when inspecting.
Because this kind of van had a high-end, atmospheric, and classy appearance and a large interior space, it was very popular among leaders now. The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government also purchased a batch, and they could be considered big customers of the Ernest Company.
Su Xinghui knew that Guangdong Province had purchased a batch of such cars, but Lu Xiaoya was a bit surprised that she could see Ernest's products here.
