~9 min read 1,681 words

Su Xinghui shook his head quickly and said, "If a whole sheep is stewed, I can't finish it. Everyone has to work together!"

Everyone laughed loudly again. He Fusheng said while laughing, "Then let everyone start eating."

Fu Min put the dishes in her hand on the table and said, "Everyone eat first, I'll make two more side dishes, and we'll put them in the hot pot later. It's delicious."

Su Xinghui said, "Sister-in-law, don't make too many dishes. We really won't be able to finish them later."

Fu Min said, "It's not much. You have so many people, and they are all big men. Eat more."

Fu Min went to the kitchen with a smile, and Liao Xiaoyan also followed, leaning on her crutch. Her stubborn demeanor and movements made people feel sorry for her. She was truly a strong girl.

Because Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi didn't drink now, they each took a bottle of beverage, while the others drank alcohol. This alcohol was also only available during the New Year; usually, no one drank.

He Fusheng first raised a glass of wine to Su Xinghui and said, "Mayor Su, I toast you. I've said too many words of thanks, so I won't say them anymore. I wish you a happy New Year and a happy family!"

Su Xinghui drank a glass of wine with him and said, "Then I wish us all happiness and joy!"

For the second glass of wine, He Fusheng toasted Yu Ruizhi: "President Yu, thank you. You have contributed money and effort to our Xingfu disaster area and have done too many things. A 'thank you' is too light. From now on, no matter when you come to our Xingfu County, you will be the most distinguished guest of our Xingfu County!"

He Fusheng didn't know Yu Ruizhi's true identity, only that Yu Ruizhi was a rich man who liked to do charity. However, this didn't affect his respect for Yu Ruizhi, because Yu Ruizhi had truly done too many things for the disaster area.

He Fusheng knew that Yu Ruizhi could command the Fire Foundation, which received the most donations. Although he was not the legal representative of the Fire Foundation, the people of the Fire Foundation listened to him. He dispatched supplies and personnel here as easily as moving his arm.

Yu Ruizhi not only dispatched a large amount of supplies and personnel to the disaster area and built many post-disaster reconstruction projects, but he also personally came to the disaster area to supervise the project quality and the distribution of supplies. It could be said that he did his best and did everything he could do.

In fact, not only He Fusheng, but everyone in Xingfu County respected Yu Ruizhi very much. They all knew this respectable philanthropist.

The other county leaders of Xingfu County who were present also raised their glasses to accompany them. Yu Ruizhi solemnly picked up a glass of beverage, clinked glasses with them one by one, and then tilted his neck and drank the glass of beverage in one gulp.

He Fusheng said, "Everyone eat quickly, this mutton hot pot is quite good."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks to pick up food. Su Xinghui picked up a piece of mutton. This mutton was indeed delicious, tender, and fell off the bone, with a feeling of melting in the mouth. The seasoning was also very delicious. Although it looked very spicy, Su Xinghui knew that Fu Min had taken care of the guests' tastes, and actually didn't put much chili. Su Xinghui ate that piece of mutton and didn't feel it was too spicy.

Chai Yongxin was still a bit afraid of spicy food, but the mutton was too delicious, so he still ate the mutton with a stiff scalp. After eating a few pieces, he was sweating profusely, but still kept calling it enjoyable.

In this environment that couldn't be simpler, Su Xinghui ate particularly happily. Although he only drank beverages, he felt a bit tipsy. This feeling was really good.

That night, He Fusheng and Chai Yongxin both drank too much. After Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi helped settle them down, they stayed at the reconstruction work team's camp.

This trip to Xingfu also made Su Xinghui see hope. The post-disaster reconstruction in the disaster area was very smooth, which gave Xingfu County a flourishing momentum. I believe that in the near future, a beautiful county town will stand up again in Xingfu County.

Leaving Xingfu County, Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi returned to Shangxian together. Su Xinghui, of course, had the idea of returning to Shangxian to take a look after listening to Xia Shisheng's words. Therefore, he took advantage of this trip to Xingfu County to return to Shangxian to take a look and pay New Year's greetings to the elders in Shangxian.

And Yu Ruizhi hadn't been to Shangxian to take a look for many years, so he also became interested. Anyway, he didn't have to go to work, and everything he did was based on interest. When he was interested, he went to Shangxian with Su Xinghui.

In fact, Su Xinghui didn't have many elders in Shangxian now. His parents were not native Shangxian people, but he himself grew up in Shangxian, so his feelings for Shangxian were also very deep. Shangxian was his hometown.

Of course, he hadn't returned to Shangxian for several years, so returning this time, he felt a bit of "homesickness."

He and Yu Ruizhi took a plane to Jiangcheng. Yu Ruizhi let the staff of the Fire Foundation get him a car in Jiangcheng and sent a driver to wait at the airport. As soon as they got off the plane, they were picked up.

Yu Ruizhi and Su Xinghui didn't know the leaders of Hudong Province, so they didn't need to visit any leaders. However, Su Xinghui still stayed in Jiangcheng for one day to pay New Year's greetings to Professor Qin, Professor Rao, Qu Ziqing, and others. That night, he stayed at his aunt's house. He hadn't been to his aunt's house for two years. This time, his aunt and uncle were very happy.

His aunt's family still lived in that small building, which was still the one they built over a dozen years ago. It was very impressive at that time, but now every family in the whole village had built small buildings, some of which were even in that very impressive European style, so the building in his aunt's house was no longer eye-catching.

But for Su Xinghui, living here was still very warm.

Su Xinghui's cousins heard that Su Xinghui had returned and all returned to his aunt's house to meet Su Xinghui. They all had children, and some even had grandchildren. With this, it was a big family. Because Su Xinghui was the most successful one in their family, every time he came back, the whole family came to meet him.

It was his uncle who knew that Su Xinghui didn't like it too noisy, so after the children and family members sat at home for a while, he let most of them go back, leaving only Yu Gaoshan and a few others to accompany Su Xinghui for a while.

Now Yu Gaoshan's business was very big. He not only did his own business big, but also led the people in the whole village to get rich by planting and breeding. Now that the village was built so well, he had a great contribution.

However, according to Yu Gaoshan, Jiangcheng was developing very fast now, and their Qingyu Township was also preparing to be demolished. Many families had just built buildings for a few years and were about to be requisitioned. Now it was just a plan. Someone came to blow a wind before the New Year, and after the New Year, I'm afraid they would have to talk about demolition compensation.

Su Xinghui asked him how much demolition compensation the government would probably give. Yu Gaoshan said that the people sent by the government this time were still very polite, and the intentional price they gave was relatively fair, and most of the people in the village were still relatively satisfied.

Yu Gaoshan said that this majority should be Su Xinghui's credit, because the people sent by the government knew that the Yu family was Su Xinghui's relative, so they didn't dare to mess around.

Su Xinghui knew that what Yu Gaoshan said should basically be the truth. Now the government was engaged in demolition, and there were not many who were very civilized. They were so polite here in Qingyu Township, it must be because of the Yu family.

The Yu family had such a big tycoon as Yu Gaoshan, and Yu Gaoshan was still Su Xinghui's cousin, so how could they mess around? The government generally grasped such relationships very accurately. If the Jiangcheng municipal government could ignore such close relative relationships, then they wouldn't have to mix.

Since the price was fair, the demolition of Qingyu Township could be considered a good thing. Jiangcheng was indeed developing fast now, and the urban area was about to expand to this area. By then, his aunt and uncle would also be able to live in the rebuilt buildings.

However, his aunt still felt sorry for her vegetable garden. Her vegetable garden couldn't be planted. Su Xinghui said that his aunt could rest more in the future. She was also a person who was almost eighty years old, so she should rest and stop planting vegetables.

His aunt and uncle were both people who were almost eighty years old now, but their bodies were still very good. His uncle practiced Five-Animal Exercise all year round and was good at health preservation, so the two old people were free from illness and disaster. It was just that his uncle didn't see a doctor easily now. He handed over the clinic to Yu Gaofeng and only came out to take a look when Yu Gaofeng had some things he couldn't decide.
