Chapter 316: Through Life

"I remember when we were kids, it was snowing all over the place. There are a lot of them when they don't reach the calves, and there are a lot of them when they reach the knees. But if you look at it now, it's good to be able to pass the instep, but it's a rare snow to pass the ankle, and I really don't know what's going on with this weather. ”

"Hey, you said it yourself, wasn't that when we were kids? When you were a child in the seventies, what was so strange about the snow falling to your knees?"

"That's not right, I always feel that in recent years, the snow has been getting smaller and smaller in winter. ”

Hu Wenhai exhaled and creaked along the river. Hu Hu and Lu Daming are both small, and they are two classmates, Xia Boyang and Zhou Shuo, and it is rare for everyone to get together in a busy time.

After entering January 1986, there was a heavy snowfall in Xiucheng, and the whole city was covered in silver.

By January of the Daughter River, the porcelain had already been frozen, and it was no problem to walk on it or pass the car. Hu Wenhai and his friends are all twenty-year-old young after all, how can they not like to play?

Not to mention Hu Wenhai's age before his rebirth, people's mental state is determined by social roles. If people can live to be 500 years old, then they are all children until they are 100 years old, and there is nothing strange about it.

Hu Wenhai has been reborn for so many years, and his mentality has long been adjusted back to being a teenager from a middle-aged person. It doesn't matter how he behaves in the world, but at least he is definitely young in terms of mentality.

It's a rare opportunity to call everyone together, what's the matter with coming out for a walk?

"Hey, speaking of which, Zhou Shuo, how are you in the imperial capital?

"Yes, what's the progress, Brother Hai, don't talk nonsense-" Zhou Shuo made a big red face, his family is an ordinary worker's family, and he is not a disciple of those big courtyards in the imperial capital, in fact, he is the first brother in this regard. Although everyone can see Feng Hongqi's thoughts, if he really wants to make a move, he will be blind.

"Let's talk about Lao Xia. How's your house going?" Zhou Shuo hurriedly changed the subject.

"Not to mention, it's so cold that we have to stop work in January. The wages of the workers should also be paid correctly, and the money should be spent purely to support the idlers. ”

Hu Wenhai also nodded with deep sympathy: "The temperature is low in winter, the outdoor production cost is high, and there are indoor costs such as thermal insulation and anti-freezing. These all have to be factored into the cost. It's a big loss. ”

"It's not, but that's how we do it in the Northeast. Xia Boyang looked depressed.

"Hey, by the way, Brother Hai, how is the investigation that Brother Shengli is doing? Many households on my side are asking, it is really difficult to purchase goods now. Two days ago, I heard about a couple who went out to buy goods. Someone robbed him halfway, the man's leg was broken, and the woman's ......"

Xia Boyang didn't say everything. But everyone knows what he means, hey-

In the early years, it was good to crack down on law and order for a while, but now that this is a bit of a resurgence. What's more, the road robbers and those who set up cards are often locals who rely on the road to eat the road, and it is lucky that they can pick up a life if something happens.

To say that some of these people may still be ancestral crafts, although the part-time road bandits of the whole village in ancient times are now gone, it is not a matter for the villagers to cover up. Some of them robbed the road to collect money, and maybe they also had the official background of the village.

This is the year of doing business. That's really a head tucked into the crotch. Xiucheng has been surprisingly safe in the past two years, and that is because Hu Wenhai is here. 365 days a year, every day is a crackdown. But out of the Xiucheng area, those rural roads and even provincial roads are not so safe.

Xia Boyang shook his head, as if he wanted to throw out those unbearable pictures: "Hurry up and get started with the railway commuting package, many self-employed people have heard the news." I'm looking forward to it. ”

Hu Wenhai nodded, and sighed with his hands: "Who said no, my uncle hasn't been home for half a month now in order to find out the information of nearby suppliers." Luckily, he's a bachelor too, otherwise I would have had an aunt. You've got to poke me in the back. ”

"Poor data collection?"

"It's not easy to do, we all underestimated the difficulty of this job before. Hu Wenhai sighed: "One is that the number of township collective enterprises is beyond imagination, and even the Provincial Department of Commerce does not have complete data and information. The other is that the scale of the data is too large, and the size is also beyond imagination. I thought that a book as thin as a telephone could be used, but now it is not enough to read a book anyway, and the plan given by the printing house is to simply compile and print it. To cover enough enterprises, the entire product catalog should be at least 20 books and 40,000 pages. The cost of printing a set is seven or eight hundred yuan, and the number of prints is too small, and the cost has to rise. ”

Xia Boyang was a little excited, but also a little incredulous: "There are so many township collective enterprises?

"That's so much, just by the quantity, it is estimated that there are more state-owned enterprises in the province. As a matter of fact, according to the figures we have at present, the output value of township and town collective enterprises accounted for 25 percent of Bohai Province's total industrial output value last year. There are some industries, such as building materials township enterprises, with a market share of more than 75%. Even in Bohai Province, although state-owned enterprises are the mainstream, the collective economy can no longer be ignored. ”

Hu Wenhai shook his head: "Of course, hey, there are also reasons why state-owned enterprises have engaged in tertiary industries to revitalize the stock of assets in the past two years." Most of the tertiary production units of state-owned enterprises are also collectively owned. But let's see, this batch of tertiary enterprises will fall sooner or later. ”

"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. Xia Boyang was silent, the disadvantages of state-owned enterprises exist in the same three industries. Serious due to the success of people, resulting in the tertiary industry can be said to be the first to feel the cold wind of marketization. Some of the three industries can be mixed into Wahaha or Jianlibao in the future, but more of the three industries have become short-lived in the end.

Hu Wenhai didn't want to say more on this topic, so he turned his head to look at the other side: "It's Huzi and Daming's department stores, how are they decorated? ”

Hu Hu patted his chest and said with a confident smile: "Brother Hai, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts, the department store will definitely reopen before February! The inside is all redecorated according to your design, and I am sure that the eyes of these people in our embroidery city will be blinded." ”

Zhou Shuo only went home after school holidays, and immediately asked with interest: "Hey, I have long heard that the department store has been renovated, look at what you mean, it seems to be more beautiful than the shopping mall in the imperial capital?"

Hu Hu smiled proudly: "I haven't been to the shopping mall in the imperial capital. But our Italian designer said that the mall is more beautiful than the foreign ones!"

"Really, let me see it if you're free?"

"Okay, you can come when you are free, I will take you around, it just so happens that you, a college student, are comparing with the shopping malls in the imperial capital, and see if you can give us some ideas." ”

"It's decided!"

......

Hu Wenhai and his entourage were five people. Along the riverside of the Daughter River, I walked for almost half an hour from the Xinke factory. After turning a corner, it suddenly became clear in front of me, and a bridge crossed over the daughter river. Originally, there was not much traffic on this bridge out of the city, but since the factory of Xinke developed downstream, the bridge has gradually become busy.

"Hey, Hu Wenhai!"

"Hahaha, sister, hurry up!

On an ice car, Lu Jia sat on Lu Xin's body. Lu Xin, on the other hand, swung his iron pestle vigorously on the ice, driving the ice cart to glide quickly on the river surface that had been frozen into ice and covered with a layer of snow. However, Lu Xin's craftsmanship is a little trendy, and the ice car doesn't listen to her.

"Hey, Hu Wenhai, Xia Boyang, long time no see!"

Before Lu Xin's ice car, a light figure slid on a sleigh and stopped in front of five people.

"Oh, Feng Hongqi!

Daughter Henan Bridge This is a traditional place for citizens to play snow and skate in winter in Xiucheng. Not only Lu Jia, Lu Xin and Feng Hongqi, but actually a wide river. At this time, there was a crowd of people laughing and laughing.

Hu Wenhai pushed Zhou Shuo covertly and said with a smile: "Hey." Feng Hongqi, will you teach Zhou Shuo skiing in a while? There are five of us, and he can't ski!"

Feng Hongqi shook his hair heartily, nodded handsomely, and said, "No problem, by the way, then why are you going?"

"Uh-" Hu Wenhai was stunned by Feng Hongqi's question. That's right, if they also end up, then why do they want Feng Hongqi to teach Zhou Shuo to ski?

"Weβ€”" Hu Wenhai turned his head to look to the side.

"Yes, we-" Friends, you look at me, I look at you, and no one can think of any good excuse in a short time.

"We're going to talk about a project!" Hu Wenhai closed his eyes and bragged: "Zhou Shuo is dragging his feet." I didn't even know how to ski, and we fired him! When did he learn to ski, when did he come back and talk about it. ”

"What kind of project, do you want to come here to talk about it?"

"Skiing. ”

Hu Wenhai was frightened.

"That's okay, Zhou Shuo, this kid has a ski bag on me!" Feng Hongqi is the kind of girl who is particularly generous, and the girl of this age does not have the willful and self-righteous hobby of a future woman. Since the classmates need help, what is the point of helping the handlers as much as they can?

Hu Wenhai pushed Zhou Shuo, watched him hurriedly go with Feng Hongqi, and stood on the shore and waved to him.

Lu Xin and Lu Jia only slid over at this time, and Hu Wenhai reached out and hugged Lu Jia from Lu Xin.

Don't look at the cold, but Lu Xin's face was flushed, and he was sweating profusely for a long time.

"Hu Wenhai, thank you for taking care of my sister during this time!" After Lu Xin went to college, she became more and more slim. The temperament is cheerful and generous, which makes people look bright.

"What's polite, Uncle Lu probably won't be able to come back for the New Year in the United States, what is my little effort. ”

Lu Yinglong took a ticket of people to intern at Motorola in the United States, and the construction of the wafer factory has been mentioned after the year, and their time is running out. In order to seize the time to study, Lu Yinglong and all the Chinese colleges, let alone the New Year, have not returned to China once in more than a year.

The only thing Hu Wenhai can do is to broadcast a special fund to improve the living conditions of these people. I hope they can return from their studies as soon as possible, and China has long been looking forward to this wafer factory.

Hu Wenhai turned Lu Jia upside down, good guy, it seems to be getting heavier and heavier! Lu Xin and Lu Jia are wearing down jackets, and there are more people wearing down jackets in Xiucheng this year, and the two sisters don't have to hide and worry about Lu Fu's insecurity, they can wear out good clothes to their heart's content.

"Hey, Jiajia is not tired, do you want to continue playing?" Hu Wenhai saw that Lu Jia's face was also sweating a lot, and it cracked a little when the wind blew, and it was inevitable that he was a little distressed - his daughter-in-law, who would be distressed if he didn't feel sorry!

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I still have to play!" Lu Jiake didn't appreciate it, and heard Hu Wenhai ask. ran into Lu Xin's arms again and again.

"Alright, alright. Lu Xin took Lu Jialai: "It's hard to come to the northeast to see such a heavy snowfall, it's really crazy! Rest for a while, be careful not to catch a cold." ”

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Lu Jia struggled in Lu Xin's arms: "I still want to play, Brother Hu will take me to play!"

"Good. Don't make trouble!" Lu Xin easily suppressed Lu Jia's struggle, touched her head and said, "Your brother Hu has something to do, I don't have time to play with you." Let's play a little longer, and we'll have to go home in a while, don't you know?"

"Oh, got it......" Lu Jia pouted and nodded unwillingly.

"Okay Jiajia, when we get home and get warm, let's eat ice cream, okay?"

"Okay!" Sure enough, Hu Wenhai knew his wife's temperament best. It was easy to make Lu Jia's face cloudy and clear.

"Don't always get used to her!" Lu Xin complained to Hu Wenhai, and smiled helplessly at Lu Jia: "Okay, don't eat too much ice cream when you go back, otherwise be careful to have a stomach like last time." ”

"Sister, you're not the same, you eat more than me!" Lu Jia snorted twice and turned his head arrogantly.

"Stinky girl, say it cleanly!" Lu Xin blushed, and she didn't know if she was angry or ashamed......

"Sister, you stink. Hmph, Brother Hu calls me a little princess. She is a fragrant little princess!"

Lu Xin dragged Lu Jia and climbed onto the ice car again, slid out with two iron hammers. The crisp bickering of the two sisters kept coming from the wind.

The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional, Hu Wenhai was suddenly slightly stunned, and then beckoned to Xia Boyang.

"I said Lao Xia. As you said earlier, your engineering team is now out of work, right?"

"Hey, isn't it? You don't have to work just to make money, and you don't know how comfortable your life is. ”

"Cheng, I suddenly had an idea. Can you lend me the engineering equipment that you have?"

"Say, that's your money, what else can't be used?"

"Huzi, and you, lend me your Italian designer too!"

"No problem, what do you say?"

Hu Wenhai didn't say his plan for the time being, but beckoned into the distance. After a while, a Santana drove over, and Qin Kai got out of the car.

"Brother Qin, help me call Mayor Wang, I have an idea. ”

......

Daughter Henan Bridge, on the other side of the bridge from the traditional ski resort of Xiucheng people. In the afternoon, in the eyes of the skiing crowd, an engineering team roared to drive the engineering equipment onto the ice.

Under the watchful eye of the crowd, the forklift lowered its giant shovel and piled up the snow from a distance towards a designated area.

The construction workers did their old job, drilling holes in the ice, sticking wooden shelves into them, and pouring water on them for a while until they were frozen and solid. Buckets of snow are then poured into the frame, the rollers are driven up, compacted, and covered with a layer of soft floating snow.

A couple of construction engineers, guarding an old foreigner from Italy, Piano. He stood on the shore, drew a diagram and the engineers took one, and then instructed the workers to work according to the design. Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, in just one afternoon, a rudimentary ski slope and slopes were made.

But that's not all, as more and more snow is piled up and transported over. Not only the construction team in Xia Boyang's hands, but in the next few days, the construction teams of all the construction companies in Xiucheng went over.

An ice castle is rising from the ground.

The ice and snow news of Nandaqiao, accompanied by the cold wind, quickly blew all over the embroidery city. Every day, there are idle people who come to take a look, and there are often rows of people watching the changes in the ice castle by the Daughter River and even on the bridge of the South Bridge.

In just one week, the construction of the Ice Castle was completed. Of course, this is not at all comparable to the world-famous ice and snow world of the future ice city, at most it can only be regarded as one of the scenes in the ice and snow world.

But for the residents of the embroidered city who have never seen such a play, it is really a rare diorama.

There is also an unexpected gain in the construction of the ice castle, Wang Yichun's reputation as the mayor has been widely recognized by the citizens.

In fact, in the past two years, the economy of Xiucheng has drawn a big V, and it has recovered rapidly after falling to the bottom. Factory operations are growing, worker employment is rising, the private sector is active, and the market is booming. It's just that these situations are accumulated bit by bit. People just feel that life is better, but few people can say why it is better.

And the Ice Castle became such an opportunity, although this was not ordered by Wang Yichun to be built, but the citizens counted this matter on his head.

Many people are saying that there is a good mayor in Xiucheng. Ice castle is such a fun event, thanks to Mayor Yuwang. to be able to build it.

Wang Yichun originally wanted to clarify the truth to the citizens, but was stopped by Hu Wenhai. Rather than making this limelight himself, he felt that it was more in line with his mind to make a fortune and be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Hong Kong Zhen, Mr. Hu has now reimbursed at least three bureau-level leaders in the officialdom. The Chinese ship's exile to Japan has not been counted, but on the ground of the embroidered city, there are already some well-informed people who know that there is such a master in the city who can make "officials bored".

If his name is known to the world, how can he happily "pretend to be Γ— and slap his face" in the future? Ahem, what Mr. Hu means is that how can he get along with the people?

Wang Yichun finally accepted Hu Wenhai's kindness. It was simply announced in the newspapers that the castle would be open to the public free of charge once it was completed.

But in addition to this, he also accepted another suggestion from Hu Wenhai.

......

"Ha, how is it, two princesses, are you still satisfied with your castle?" Hu Wenhai touched his chest with one hand and bowed slightly.

"Wow!" Lu Jia was so excited that he ran around the vast hall of the castle made of ice. Every detail, she was curious to look at and see, and her mouth couldn't stop shouting in admiration.

But it's different from Lu Jia's excitement. Lu Xin's face was as red as a big apple, a little hesitant and a little excited. He was a little nervous: "This castle ...... You built it for me, for us?"

"Of course!"

Hu Wenhai nodded, his wife liked the ice and snow world of Ice City very much before she was reborn. Anyway, people and equipment are ready-made, even if you don't work, you have to spend money to support people, so it's better to find something for them to do. The fly in the ointment is that there are no LED lights dedicated to sub-zero environments in these days, and the ice castle lacks gorgeous lights.

However, the sunlight during the day is refracted through the ice wall. It's not interesting.

This was the day before the opening of the Ice and Snow Castle, and Hu Wenhai invited Lu Jia and Lu Xin to come, which was regarded as fulfilling a dream for his wife in advance.

To say that the Ice Castle was built specifically for Lu Jia is actually not wrong.

Hu Wenhai's gaze stayed on Lu Jia, who was running happily for a moment, and the ground here was all soft snow. And don't worry about falling.

Looking at Lu Jia's excited appearance, Hu Wenhai's guilt because of Yulia's matter was also alleviated.

And Lu Xin's eyes when he looked at him were like a pool of lake water, flashing with a little light.

The Ice and Snow Castle in Xiucheng can be said to be a precedent, and its reputation spread to many places in the north for a while. Not only the citizens of Xiucheng City, but also people from Shengjing or Zhili have come here.

In addition to the ice castle, Hu Wenhai also built a stepped ski slope and an auger slope. Combined with the traditional ski slopes on the other side of the Upper South Bridge, there are a lot of things to do with ice cars, plows, sleds and skates.

Feng Hongqi finally taught Zhou Shuo to ski, and asked Hu Wenhai in surprise, is this the project they talked about that day?

Hu Wenhai smiled, naturally he didn't say anything.

However, thanks to the blessing of stumbling in ski teaching, the relationship between Feng Hongqi and Zhou Shuo seems to be much closer than before.

And Zhou Shuo, who knew the truth, was even more dumbfounded, he had never heard of the ice castle project at all. Hu Wenhai can really do anything in order to fulfill his lies!

On the other side of the ice castle, a snowy field is laid out into a rugged terrain. This snow field has breastwork, snow pits, and all kinds of obstacles and bunkers made of snow.

A red flag was raised on the flagpole in front of the ice and snow castle, and Wang Yichun stood on the steps of the castle, holding a speech in his hand, and spoke into the microphone.

"In order to develop sports and strengthen the people's physique. To exercise the quality of the Xiucheng reserve and improve the tactical level of the reserve of all units, I announce that the first laser simulation confrontation Capture the Flag Competition in Xiucheng has officially begun!"

On the starting site on the snow side, Hu Wenhai, who was wearing a full set of laser exercise equipment, turned on the switch on the laser gun, excitedly raised his fist hand, and then made a gesture to go.
