Su Xinghui said, "Yes, Zhao Jia Qiao has developed quite fast in the past two years."

Hou Guangbi said, "The road we are taking should also be newly built, right? The road conditions look very good."

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, this road was only finished last year. It is a newly built secondary highway that runs from the county seat to Meng Hu Ling."

Hou Guangbi said in surprise, "Built all the way to Meng Hu Ling? You mean, that poor and remote Meng Hu Ling also has such a good highway?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise how would we dare to let you go to Meng Hu Ling? If it were the original broken road, it would be too bumpy, and your body wouldn't be able to stand it."

Hou Guangbi nodded, looking at this road outside the car window.

Hou Guangbi's memory is very good. Every time he arrives at a township, he can accurately name the place. To know, he has already left Shangjun County for forty-five years!

He was very surprised by the current situation of these townships. The development of these townships far exceeded his imagination. However, Su Xinghui said that this was nothing, and Meng Hu Ling Township was the one that developed the best, which made him look forward to Meng Hu Ling even more.

Because Hou Guangbi wanted to see more of the scenery along the way, Su Xinghui kept the car speed very slow. Nearly an hour later, they finally entered the territory of Meng Hu Ling Township. The leaders of Meng Hu Ling Township were waiting at the entrance of the township government. They received a call from the county in the morning and knew that the county leaders were going to accompany an overseas Chinese businessman to Meng Hu Ling today, so they were waiting here this morning.

Su Xinghui saw Dong Jianshu and Li Maofa standing by the roadside taking the lead. He stopped the car, got out, and held Dong Jianshu's hand, "Secretary Dong, how are you!"

Dong Jianshu was overjoyed to see Su Xinghui return, "You Xinghui, why haven't you returned to Meng Hu Ling to take a look for so long?"

Li Maofa also punched Su Xinghui on the shoulder, "Yes, you really have no conscience. The fellow villagers of Meng Hu Ling miss you very much."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Isn't it because I'm busy with work? Didn't I return today?"

The others in the Meng Hu Ling Township government also came up to talk to Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui greeted them one by one.

Hou Guangbi got out of the car, and Su Xinghui introduced to Dong Jianshu and the others, "This is Old Mr. Hou Guangbi, an overseas Chinese returning from France, and a descendant of the Zhuangyuan Hou of our Zhuangyuan Lane."

Dong Jianshu and the others naturally understood that this was the overseas Chinese businessman who had returned, and they had also heard of the great name of Zhuangyuan Hou, which was one of the most famous celebrities in the history of Shangjun County. They repeatedly said they were disrespectful and exchanged pleasantries with Hou Guangbi for a long time.

Comrade Ji Tao, Zhang Kaishan, and the others also got out of the car. After Dong Jianshu and the others exchanged pleasantries with them, they got into the cars again and followed the motorcade to Ye Ye Zhugou.

Ye Ye Zhugou is now the best-developed village in Meng Hu Ling. To see the construction achievements of Meng Hu Ling Township, naturally, there is no place more suitable than here.

In just a few minutes, the car drove to Ye Ye Zhugou. Su Xinghui stopped the car at the entrance of the village committee. Hou Guangbi got out of the car, looked around, and asked in surprise, "Is this really just a village?"

Su Xinghui said, "This place is called Ye Ye Zhugou, and it really is a village."

Hou Guangbi nodded. He still had an impression of the name Ye Ye Zhugou. However, the current Ye Ye Zhugou village has several factories, and the villagers' houses are also newly built, with unified styles and beautiful shapes. It looks no worse than Chengguan Township at all, and in some places, it even surpasses Chengguan Township.

The village cadres of Ye Ye Zhugou Village Committee were holding a meeting in the village committee. Seeing the motorcade coming, they all ran out of the village committee. Xia Zhu was sitting in a place closest to the door, and she was the first to run out. As soon as she came out, she saw Su Xinghui first. Suddenly, there was no one else in her eyes. Looking at Su Xinghui's smiling appearance, unknowingly, a layer of mist covered her eyes.

Fang Youcai's loud voice rang out, "Township Head Su, you're back! Why didn't you call the village in advance?"

Su Xinghui smiled, "I am accompanying the county leaders and French guests to come together today."

Su Xinghui greeted Fang Youcai, Zhao Zhongfu, and Gao Daping one by one, and then said to Xia Zhu, "Xia Zhu, how are you!"

Xia Zhu then came back to her senses. She hurriedly wiped the tears that had already flowed down her face with her sleeves and shouted, "Brother Xinghui, you're here!"

Su Xinghui introduced Hou Guangbi's identity to several village cadres. He said that Hou Guangbi came specifically to take a look at the construction achievements of Meng Hu Ling today. Fang Youcai smiled, "Old man, you came to our Ye Ye Zhugou, you came to the right place. Our Ye Ye Zhugou is now no worse than the city, and the scenery is very good."

Hou Guangbi nodded in agreement.

Comrade Ji Tao, Zhang Kaishan, and other county leaders also got out of the car and walked over. Fang Youcai and the others were so panicked that they hurriedly greeted them, exchanged pleasantries with the county leaders for a while, and then took Hou Guangbi around the village.

Now the scenic spot construction of Ye Ye Zhugou village has achieved some success. However, it is winter now, which is the off-season, and there are no guests coming. Instead, there are some workers taking advantage of the off-season to repair some scenic spot facilities.

Hou Guangbi didn't come here to see the scenery. He let Su Xinghui lead him to the largest factory in the village, which was the Quanjie Pharmaceutical Factory.

Quanjie Pharmaceutical Factory was also a scene of booming production and sales. Trucks carrying medicine were lined up from the factory area to the factory gate. The end of the year is the harvest season for Chinese medicinal materials, so now is also the busiest time for Quanjie Pharmaceutical Factory.

Feng Yuandong had already seen a motorcade coming to the village. Seeing someone walking towards their factory, he hurriedly greeted them. Seeing Su Xinghui, he said happily, "Township Head Su, you're here!"

Su Xinghui said, "General Manager Feng, let me introduce you. This is Old Mr. Hou Guangbi, an overseas Chinese from France, and a descendant of the Zhuangyuan Hou of our Shangjun. He is here today to take a look at your pharmaceutical factory. You take him to look at the factory area and introduce the situation to him."

Feng Yuandong nodded and led the crowd to visit the factory area.

Hou Guangbi first saw the flower trees in the factory area. Although it was a factory, there were many flower trees in the factory area, and it looked like a large garden. He asked casually, "General Manager Feng, your factory is quite beautiful!"

Feng Yuandong smiled, "Old Mr. Hou, this was stipulated by Township Head Su when he was the Deputy Township Head here. No matter what kind of enterprise it is, first of all, we must do a good job in environmental protection. To tell you the truth, we were somewhat reluctant when we implemented the regulations at the beginning, but now we have seen the benefits. Not to mention anything else, just this garden-style factory area makes people who work here feel good, and work efficiency is also high!"

Hou Guangbi nodded. He looked at Su Xinghui. Seeing this scene here gave him a new understanding of Su Xinghui.

Hou Guangbi said, "General Manager Feng, I see that your pharmaceutical factory's sales situation is quite good, with trucks carrying goods lined up so long."

Feng Yuandong said with great excitement, "Yes, our factory has a Chinese medicinal material base in this Ye Ye Zhugou. This Ye Ye Zhugou has a good climate and good soil, and the medicinal materials grown are also good. With such good raw materials, the medicine produced by our factory also has good effects, so naturally, it is in short supply."

Hou Guangbi said, "Then when did you start planting Chinese medicinal materials here? When was your factory set up? I see that your factory building is still quite new, so it shouldn't have been set up for long, right?"

Feng Yuandong said, "To tell you the truth, our pharmaceutical factory has only been set up for more than a year, and this Ye Ye Zhugou has only been planting Chinese medicinal materials for two years."

Fang Youcai, who was on the side, told Hou Guangbi about everything Su Xinghui had done during his two years of work in Meng Hu Ling. He said to Hou Guangbi, "Old man, if it weren't for Township Head Su, how could the ordinary people of our Ye Ye Zhugou have the good life of today! The ordinary people of our Ye Ye Zhugou all want to thank him!"

Hou Guangbi stood there very seriously and listened to every word Fang Youcai said. After listening, he looked at Su Xinghui deeply and then followed Feng Yuandong to visit the factory area.

On this day, Hou Guangbi ran to several villages in Meng Hu Ling and looked at several enterprises. Although he was over seventy years old, his body was still relatively strong, and Su Xinghui had been supporting him by his side.
