Chapter 708

Li Maofa and Liu Wu both greeted Su Xinghui enthusiastically, and they were also very polite to Zhang Lihui and Lin Yaozu who came with Su Xinghui, which let Zhang Lihui see the weight of Su Xinghui in the hearts of the cadres of Menghuling Township.

Li Maofa felt endless emotion in his heart. When he was still a deputy township head, Su Xinghui was just a young man who had just started working. In just two short years, Su Xinghui was already a township head on equal footing with him.

However, Li Maofa was not jealous of Su Xinghui at all. If Su Xinghui hadn't come to Menghuling, he wouldn't have been able to become a township head from an ordinary deputy township head in just two short years. Speaking of which, he should thank Su Xinghui for being able to be promoted so quickly.

During the meal, the few people from Menghuling Township toasted Su Xinghui frequently. Su Xinghui did not refuse anyone who came, and not only that, he also took the initiative to go to other tables to toast the county leaders attending the meeting.

Every county leader who accepted Su Xinghui's toast was very polite and kind to him, and they did not put on airs at all. Su Xinghui drank a cup, and they drank a cup, not at all like the way they only took a sip when ordinary people toasted them. Such a scene made everyone look on in astonishment.

In fact, this was not Su Xinghui deliberately showing off his relationship with the county leaders in front of others. It was just that if he did not take the initiative to go to the tables to toast these county leaders, it would be even more shocking if the county leaders took the initiative to toast him.

Given the relationship between these county leaders and him, this was a very likely thing to happen.

Therefore, as a junior and a subordinate, it was better for him to take the initiative to toast the leaders.

When toasting Xu Shixie and Chen Hongfu, he also specifically said thank you to them. In the process of opening up the situation in Pengjiawan, he indeed received a lot of help from them.

After lunch, Su Xinghui let Zhang Lihui and Lin Yaozu return to Pengjiawan first, while he himself prepared to spend a night at home. He had been in Pengjiawan for more than a month and had not been home yet.

In fact, it was not that there were no opportunities to go home during this month, but he wanted to use this way to show an attitude and determination: if he could not stabilize the situation in Pengjiawan, he would never leave.

Returning home, only his father Su Wenjun was at home. He was resting at home and it was not yet time for work in the afternoon.

Seeing his son return, a smile appeared on Su Wenjun's face: "Xinghui is back, have you eaten?"

Su Xinghui said, "I have. I attended a meeting at the county in the morning and ate at the county at noon. Did Mom not come back for lunch at noon?"

Su Wenjun said, "Now that production has resumed in their factory, it's quite busy. She only has one hour of rest at noon, so she simply doesn't come back at noon and eats in the factory canteen."

Su Xinghui asked, "Then what about your meal?"

Su Wenjun said, "I eat in the hospital canteen at noon, and your mom comes back to cook in the afternoon."

Su Xinghui nodded. Actually, this was not bad. Now there were only his parents eating at home, which saved a lot of time wasted on cooking. If the two of them cooked too many dishes and couldn't finish them, the leftovers would be wasted.

In his previous life, he had tasted such a life. He and his wife always ate at home, and later they simply became too lazy to cook, either eating in their respective unit canteens or taking turns eating at their parents' places.

The machinery factory was so busy now, it seems they had many orders. This was also a good thing.

Su Xinghui went to his room, cleaned up the things he brought back from Menghuling last time, brought all the tools he used for painting and calligraphy, and also brought the paintings he had painted in Menghuling some time ago, putting them all in a bag, ready to take away tomorrow morning.

After packing up, Su Xinghui went to the machinery factory; he had something to find Yin Zuogang for.

At the guard room of the machinery factory, Su Xinghui said he wanted to find Factory Director Yin. The guard, Old Wang, saw that Su Xinghui looked familiar and asked who he was. Su Xinghui smiled and called out "Uncle Wang," saying that he was the son of Section Chief Guo of the finance section and had something to find Factory Director Yin for.

Only then did Old Wang recognize that it was Su Xinghui, so he called the factory director's office. The people in the factory director's office said that Factory Director Yin had gone to the metalworking workshop, so he called the metalworking workshop again, and only then did he find Yin Zuogang.

Yin Zuogang knew that Su Xinghui had come to find him, so he happily let Old Wang let Su Xinghui in to find him at the metalworking workshop.

Old Wang said with a trace of apology, "Xinghui, it's not that Uncle Wang won't let you in, it's really that the factory's system is strict now, and visitors from outside have to register."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, this is as it should be. Without rules, there is no square."

Su Xinghui registered in the visitor registration book and then entered the machinery factory. He had come to the machinery factory many times when he was a child. Although many years had passed, as soon as Old Wang pointed, he remembered the location of the metalworking workshop and went straight there.

Arriving at the metalworking workshop, as soon as they heard that Su Xinghui wanted to find Factory Director Yin, a worker took him into the workshop.

Yin Zuogang was discussing something with several workers beside a machine tool. Seeing Su Xinghui coming, he said to those workers, "You guys continue working first, I have a guest."

The two entered the office of the metalworking workshop. Yin Zuogang said, "Xinghui, you have something to find me for? I heard that you have gone to Pengjiawan to be the township head. How is it? Are you doing okay now?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "It's okay. This time I have something to ask for your help."

Yin Zuogang said, "Just say whatever you have."

Su Xinghui said, "I want to promote mechanized operations in Pengjiawan as well. When the time comes, I would like to ask you, Brother Yin, to send technicians and sales staff to our Pengjiawan to inquire about the needs of the farmers and also help them design agricultural machinery suitable for their use."

Yin Zuogang said, "I was wondering what you needed my help for. You are clearly doing me a favor! Aren't you coming to my door to send me orders?"

Su Xinghui said, "We are asking you to specifically design agricultural machinery suitable for use here. This belongs to professional customized service, so of course I have to ask for your help."

Yin Zuogang said, "Actually, the terrain and planting structure of Pengjiawan are very simple. There is no need to specifically design agricultural machinery, right? Just buy some general-purpose agricultural machinery and take it back."

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yin, you don't know about this. I plan to significantly adjust the planting structure in Pengjiawan. Now, just planting rice, wheat, and the like won't increase farmers' income. I want to let farmers plant more cash crops. When the time comes, these cash crops might need some special agricultural machinery."

Yin Zuogang said, "It looks like you are preparing to have a big go in Pengjiawan."

Su Xinghui said, "The people in Pengjiawan are too poor. If we don't do something big, it won't work. If we continue at the conventional development speed, I don't know which year it will take to make them rich."

Yin Zuogang nodded and said, "Alright, I will send technicians and sales staff to your place as soon as possible."

Su Xinghui said, "There's no need to be that urgent. I still have to invite agricultural experts to investigate first to see which cash crops are suitable for planting there."
