Chapter 855

Of course, even if he doesn't return, that is his freedom, but in that case, the Hou family might not return to invest.

Ji Tao asked: "Mr. Hou, is your whole family going to France?"

Hou Dali said: "I estimate that I will take my wife, my eldest son, and my eldest daughter to France. My younger son and younger daughter are still in college and cannot delay their studies."

Ji Tao understood as soon as he heard it. This was probably Hou Dali deliberately letting his younger son and younger daughter stay behind, which could be considered hostages, proving that he had no intention of staying abroad.

Ji Tao smiled: "Why don't you let your whole family go to France together and take a look at your relatives overseas?"

Hou Dali shook his head: "No need, they will definitely have many opportunities to go abroad in the future. Let them concentrate on their studies for now."

Ji Tao nodded: "Okay, then you decide for yourself."

He looked at Zhang Kaishan again and asked: "Comrade Kaishan, what do you think?"

Zhang Kaishan nodded: "Secretary Ji, I think it's okay."

Ji Tao then said to Liu Xiancai: "Comrade Xiancai, how about this: you help Mr. Hou handle the relevant procedures for the personnel going abroad this time. This should be considered visiting relatives abroad. See what procedures are needed and help them handle them as soon as possible. This task is very important, and you must not delay it."

Liu Xiancai nodded: "Secretary Ji, please rest assured, I guarantee to complete the task."

Ji Tao said: "Okay, then you go. If there are any difficulties, just tell me, and the County Party Committee will help coordinate. Comrade Kaishan, Little Su, you two stay."

Liu Xiancai took Hou Dali and his wife away. Ji Tao said: "Comrade Kaishan, the historical legacy issue of the Hou family's old residence still needs you to put in more effort. I hope this problem can be corrected as soon as possible, so that Hou Dali can see the sincerity of the County Party Committee and the county government before he goes abroad."

Zhang Kaishan said: "This is what I should do."

Ji Tao said to Su Xinghui again: "Little Su, you are now the person the Hou family trusts the most. I hope you will put in more effort in the work of mobilizing the Hou family to return to invest. If this matter can be successful, the harvest of Shangjun County may be more than just an investment, but also many, many other things."

Su Xinghui nodded: "Secretary Ji, I understand."

That night, Su Xinghui went to Hou Dali's house again. Hou Dali was calling his son and daughter who worked in other places at home. His eldest son Hou Wenzhi worked in Jiangcheng, and his eldest daughter Hou Wenli worked in Yulin City. Both of them had decent jobs. Hou Wenzhi was a counselor at Jiangcheng Normal University, and Hou Wenli was a staff member at the Yulin City Industrial and Commercial Bank.

Seeing Su Xinghui coming, Hou Dali said a few words to the phone, hung up, and smiled: "Little Su is here. Sit, sit."

After Su Xinghui sat down, Hou Dali brewed him a cup of tea and said: "Little Su, our Hou family is really grateful to you for this matter."

Su Xinghui smiled: "This is nothing. It was an unintentional act on my part, and I didn't know that painting could be seen by old Mr. Hou."

Hou Dali said: "No matter what, our whole Hou family must thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know that there were so many relatives alive in France."

Su Xinghui said: "Uncle Hou, in fact, you can see the domestic political climate in recent years; it is becoming more and more relaxed. Even without this matter of mine, perhaps old Mr. Hou misses his hometown so much that he would have returned to the country to find you in a few years."

Hou Dali sighed: "My Third Uncle is already seventy-five years old. To say something that shouldn't be said, I don't know if he will still be here in a few years, and even if he is, I don't know if he will still be able to walk. It is you who fulfilled his lifelong wish and left him with no more regrets. Just because of this, we must be grateful to you for a lifetime!"

Su Xinghui said: "Since old Mr. Hou has the intention of returning to his roots, you should persuade him more when you go to France this time, let him dispel his concerns, and return to the country to take a look. The country is developing better and better now, and it is worth taking a look."

Hou Dali said: "Of course I hope my Third Uncle and the others can return to the country to take a look. However, I don't know if I can dispel their concerns. I will try my best to work on them. I also feel that the country is very different from a few years ago, and many overseas Chinese have returned to visit relatives."

Su Xinghui nodded: "Yes, I think that China's political climate will not have major changes for at least a few decades. Now the whole society is focusing on economic construction, people's thinking is becoming more and more liberated, and the inclusiveness of society is becoming stronger and stronger. I dare to guarantee that after they return, the county will definitely treat them as honored guests."

Hou Dali nodded: "I think so too. By the way, Little Su, when can those people be made to move out of our Hou family's old residence?"

Looking at Hou Dali's somewhat urgent expression, Su Xinghui could understand his mood. The Hou family's old residence could be said to have been lost in their hands. No matter what, it could be considered that they failed to guard it. Now that they have contacted their relatives overseas, before the relatives return, he naturally wants to get the old residence back in his own hands.

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Uncle Hou, I have already suggested it to the county government. The county government will carry out this work as soon as possible. Before you go to France, this work will have substantial progress, and before old Mr. Hou returns to the country, the old residence should be able to be recovered."

Hou Dali's throat was choked again. This does not mean that he is a weak person. In fact, he is a tough man. In such a difficult period, he was able to withstand the hat of overseas relations and raise four children with his wife. What an incredible thing this is?

Such a tough man, but now his throat is choked. This can only show that this matter is really too important to him. A century-old old residence, now there is hope for recovery. Can he not be excited?

Hou Dali said to Su Xinghui: "Little Su, I don't know what to say. I thank you for my whole life!" ===== CHAPTER 857 =====
