Chapter 876: The Joy of Harvest

That night, Su Xinghui received a call from Hou Dali in France in his office. Hou Dali had been in Paris, France for two or three days, and this was the first time he called Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui was very happy when he heard it was a call from Hou Dali. He said, "Uncle Hou, you arrived in Paris, right? How is it? Are you used to it?"

Hou Dali said, "I have been in Paris for three days, and I am used to it. It's all in my own home, and the living habits are the same as those of the Chinese."

Su Xinghui said, "That's good, then play there for a few more days."

Hou Dali said, "I saw my third uncle, and two cousins, two cousins, and my brother, some cousins, many relatives, I am really happy, thank you, Xinghui, if it weren't for you, maybe I would never see them in my life."

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Hou, don't be polite with me. This is just a small effort. By the way, the county government has begun to renovate your old residence in Zhuangyuan Lane. When you return to China, you can see your family's old residence look brand new."

Hou Dali said happily, "Really? That's great! In the past two days, I have done the work of my third uncle and the others. They also very much want to return to their hometown to take a look. They have agreed to let our family play in France for half a month, and then they will return to Shangjun County with us."

Hearing Hou Dali's words, Su Xinghui was very happy. Their efforts for so many days finally had results.

In fact, it is already the 1990s. Before, Hou Guangbi did not dare to return, just because the two sides were not connected, and he did not understand the situation in China. The fact that Hou Dali's family could go abroad freely was enough to explain many problems, plus Hou Dali's persuasion, what reason did they have not to return?

Su Xinghui said, "That's a good thing. After Old Mr. Hou returns, he will definitely be very happy to see the situation in China."

Hou Dali said, "My second uncle said that after he returns, he will thank you well!"

Su Xinghui said, "There is no need to thank me. I said it, this is just a small effort. Anyone who encounters it will do it. How about this, when you determine which day to return, call me again, and then our county government leaders can prepare in advance."

Hou Dali said, "Okay, when we determine the itinerary, I will call you again immediately."

After hanging up, Su Xinghui immediately called Zhang Kaishan and told him the news. Zhang Kaishan was naturally very happy. This month, the county government also made great efforts for the Hou family's affairs, and now, finally saw the results.

Zhang Kaishan said, "Okay, then when they determine the itinerary for returning to China, tell me, and the county party committee and county government will prepare the welcome ceremony in advance."

Su Xinghui said, "I know, I will call you then."

Zhang Kaishan said, "Recently, the county's United Front Department has investigated the Hou family in France through various channels and confirmed that the Hou family is indeed a very powerful overseas Chinese merchant family, with a total asset of at least one billion US dollars, and possibly more."

More than one billion US dollars? That is indeed a very powerful Chinese merchant family, but this is not surprising. Before liberation, the Hou family was a family of officials, and there were many elites in the family, and the foundation was quite thick. After decades of hard work, they accumulated this family property, which is not surprising.

Su Xinghui said, "That is a great thing. If the Hou family takes out some money, they can invest in a large enterprise in our county."

Zhang Kaishan said, "So the county must further strengthen the importance of this matter and strive to keep the Hou family in the county."

Su Xinghui said, "That must be taken seriously."

Zhang Kaishan said, "Then you must play a greater role in this matter. Now the Hou family trusts you the most."

Su Xinghui said, "Okay, I will definitely try my best."

On November 29th, early in the morning, Yu Gaoshan brought two heavy-duty tractor-trailer flatbed trucks to Pengwan Town and parked them outside the town government, attracting many people to watch.

The maximum load of these two heavy-duty trucks is over forty tons, but the density of vegetables is not that high, so pulling vegetables can pull twenty or thirty tons at a time, which is a rare thing for the people of Pengwan Town. In this era, this kind of behemoth is generally only used in big cities.

Yu Gaoshan got off his car, entered the town government, and found Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui followed him out of the courtyard gate and saw the two heavy-duty tractor-trailers. He asked happily, "Is this the car your company just bought?"

Yu Gaoshan nodded. "Yes!"

Su Xinghui said, "Good guy, such a big car!"

Yu Gaoshan said, "Let's go, let's go to Xiaohu Village."

Su Xinghui nodded. "Okay, I'll say hello and go with you."

Su Xinghui went back to say hello to Qi Jian and called Liu Yongjun. They got into Yu Gaoshan's car together. Today, Yu Gaoshan specially brought a driver to drive for him.

Su Xinghui first took Yu Gaoshan to the town's grain collection station, weighed the two large trucks on the ground scale, and weighed the tare weight. After loading the vegetables later, weigh them again to get the net weight of the vegetables. Of course, if you need to load different vegetables, this method will not work, because the prices of different vegetables are also different, and they need to be weighed separately. However, weighing the tare weight of the car first will not be wrong.

After a while, the car drove to Xiaohu Village. As soon as they arrived in the village, they saw mountains of cabbage piled up on the head of the field. Looking at the field, many farmers were harvesting cabbage with joy.

Cabbage is a kind of vegetable. Due to its particularity and technical limitations, there is no machinery that can harvest cabbage yet. It can only be harvested manually. It is amazing that one person can harvest one or two acres of cabbage a day. However, they are now in a cooperative model, so harvesting cabbage is mutual aid, plus the ripening period of various varieties of cabbage is staggered, so there is no need to worry about manpower. ===== CHAPTER 878 =====
