Chapter 4041: Returning to Meng Hu Ling

Su Xinghui didn't stay in the Shangxian urban area, but passed through the Shangxian urban area directly and went to Meng Hu Ling.

The current Shangxian was already a county-level city, and it was a very prosperous city. The foundation that Su Xinghui and Zhang Kaishan laid for Shangxian over a dozen years ago made Shangxian benefit to this day.

Now in Shangxian, the urban area was already several times larger than before, and it was almost connected to Pengjiawan Town. When passing through Pengjiawan, Su Xinghui specially asked the driver to stop for a while under the Changjiangdaqiao bridge to take a look at this bridge.

This bridge was a project introduced by Su Xinghui at the beginning, and now it had become an important transportation hub in this area, making the economy around Pengjiawan develop rapidly. Now, the large enterprises here, such as the special steel plant and the winery, were famous throughout the country and also drove the development of a large number of supporting enterprises.

All of this was inseparable from this bridge. Therefore, seeing this bridge that he introduced with his own hands, Su Xinghui was very emotional in his heart.

However, he only looked for a few minutes, then asked the driver to start the car and continued to drive to Shangxian.

Yu Ruizhi said, "You are very emotional in your heart, right? But you were indeed amazing at that time. A town mayor could build such a bridge. It would be hard to find a second one in the whole country, right?"

Su Xinghui said with a smile, "At that time, it was considered a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. Fortunately, there was your help, otherwise this bridge could not have been built at all. At that time, Governor Tian wanted to build the expressway to other places."

Mentioning Tian Chengzu, the two looked at each other and smiled. Now, the two sons of the then Governor Tian had been wiped out in one nest. I heard that his two sons had divorced recently, and their in-laws were also going to draw a clear line with them. The Tian family could be considered completely finished.

The road from Pengjiawan to the Shangxian urban area was now very wide and built very well. Although it was not an expressway, it could be considered an urban expressway. Therefore, it only took more than ten minutes to reach the Shangxian urban area. At this time, the car drove a bit slower, and Su Xinghui could also take a good look at the appearance of the Shangxian urban area.

You know, Su Xinghui hadn't returned to Shangxian for several years, and he was indeed very eager to know what Shangxian looked like now.

The current Shangxian City was completely different from the Shangxian County in Su Xinghui's memory. Although Su Xinghui had returned a few years ago, the changes in Shangxian City could only be described as changing with each passing day. In just a few years, there had been earth-shaking changes.

Shangxian City now had many high-rise buildings. Although it was only a county-level city, it was no less than Linshan, a prefecture-level city, and even more so. This made Su Xinghui sigh endlessly. The current Linshan still needed to accelerate its development speed.

However, this was also very normal. Shangxian had been developing at high speed for over a dozen years, while Linshan was just starting. There must be a gap between the two.

Su Xinghui didn't stay in the Shangxian urban area. He directly asked the driver to drive to Meng Hu Ling. When the car drove onto the road leading to Meng Hu Ling, it immediately evoked Su Xinghui's long-term memories. This road was also built by attracting investment when he was in Meng Hu Ling.

Of course, now this road had been widened and rebuilt, paved with asphalt, much wider and smoother than before, and the road conditions were better, but Su Xinghui still remembered the scenery on both sides of the road.

Yu Ruizhi also invested in a scenic tourist area here. On both sides of this road, there were many scenic areas, such as the Luling Reservoir, the Wangjiang Pavilion, the Shi Quan Zen Temple, and the Meng Hu Ling Forest Park planned later, etc.

These scenic areas were now also crowded with tourists. After the snow disaster last year, this winter was still very warm. During the Spring Festival, the sunshine was very good, and many nearby tourists came here to play.

Su Xinghui couldn't help but sigh, "It's really getting more and more beautiful here now."

Yu Ruizhi nodded and said, "Now many places along the road have been planned as protected areas. It was the rule you set at the beginning. Only pollution-free enterprises are allowed to be run here, and polluting enterprises are not allowed to be run here at all. Trees cannot be cut down at will. Of course, it's getting more and more beautiful here."

Su Xinghui nodded. Seeing his hometown getting better and better and more and more beautiful, of course, he was very happy.

As the car got closer and closer to Meng Hu Ling, Su Xinghui was also getting more and more excited. This was the first stop of his official career and the place where he was reborn. Having not seen it for many years, what would Meng Hu Ling look like now?

Soon, the car drove to Meng Hu Ling. The Meng Hu Ling in front of him made Su Xinghui feel a bit strange. A wide and straight road led to the front, and on both sides of the road were lush scenic trees, swaying gracefully. In the warm spring breeze, people felt the breath of spring.

Between the green trees and red flowers, one could vaguely see buildings one after another. These buildings were different and had their own characteristics, very different from ordinary rural residences. However, because they could only be seen vaguely, their full picture could not be seen for the time being.

Relying on his memory, Su Xinghui asked the driver to drive the car to Yezhugou, which was the hometown of Xia Zhu and Xia Song. Su Xinghui started to engage in special breeding and planting here at the beginning and started his glorious path. Therefore, Su Xinghui was full of excitement.

The road to Yezhugou was also very wide and straight, much better than the original sheep-gut path. Their car drove into the village very smoothly. Along the way, one could see many small cars, which should have been bought by the people in the village.

This high-end Ernest sedan with Jiangcheng license plates drove into the village without attracting much attention, because there were too many people with cars in the village now, and there were quite a few enterprises run in the village, so there were quite a few rich people here. A high-end Ernest sedan was not enough to make them surprised.

Not long after driving into the village, Su Xinghui saw an acquaintance on the side of the road, that was Zhao Zhongfu, the former village director of Yezhugou Village. When he first met Zhao Zhongfu, he was just a young man in his early thirties, but now he was a middle-aged man in his late forties. However, Su Xinghui recognized him at a glance.

Zhao Zhongfu was standing at the door of a very impressive building, talking to others. Su Xinghui asked the driver to stop the car, rolled down the window, and shouted, "Director Zhao."

Zhao Zhongfu looked back at this Ernest sedan. He saw Su Xinghui poking his head out of the car window at a glance. His expression changed from disbelief to ecstasy. He ran over in two or three steps and shouted, "Are you Mayor Su?"

Su Xinghui got out of the car, took Zhao Zhongfu's hand, and said, "I am Su Xinghui!"

Zhao Zhongfu said with great joy, "It's really Mayor Su who returned. Mayor Su, you don't know, the fellow villagers of Yezhugou are all hoping for your return. This time Old Xia went to Linshan, everyone asked him to bring the local specialties from home, but there were too many to bring, so he only brought some bamboo rats and the like, and also asked him to invite you back. I didn't expect you to really come back!"

Zhao Zhongfu's voice was very loud, immediately attracting the attention of many villagers nearby. They walked over, and soon, someone recognized Su Xinghui again. Although Su Xinghui's dress and style were completely different from over a dozen years ago, his appearance hadn't changed much.

Immediately, the villagers shouted, "Mayor Su!"

This was the most shouting, because the villagers were very concerned about Su Xinghui and knew that he was already the mayor of Linshan City. However, some people were also shouting "Cadre Su" and "Town Mayor Su," which were their titles for Su Xinghui over a dozen years ago. Until now, they hadn't changed their titles for Su Xinghui.

But Su Xinghui knew that the more such titles, the more it showed their closeness to him. Therefore, the feeling of "homesickness" that Su Xinghui had just now disappeared. He laughed and answered no matter what others called him, and he also called the names of these villagers according to his memory.
