The Spring Festival of 2007 is coming soon.

Today is already the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, if it were a few years ago, Lin Qiang would have returned to his hometown in the countryside with his wife and daughter at this time, preparing for the New Year.

In recent years, a very popular sentence is "If you have money or not, go home for the New Year", although the tone is a little ridiculous, it also truly reflects the traditional homesickness of the Chinese people. The Lunar New Year always entrusts us with too many feelings and expectations, the Spring Festival in the hearts of the Chinese people is an important day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, is the beginning of the year, it is not as simple as a festival, in a foreign country for a busy year, with full of blessings and thoughts back to the hometown, with parents and relatives to celebrate the Spring Festival, is not only a kind of love expectation, but also a kind of emotional release.

Since the reform and opening up, with the relaxation of restrictions on the movement of people, more and more people choose to leave their hometowns to work and study, and return to their hometowns as soon as the Spring Festival arrives, forming a Spring Festival that can be called "a rare population flow in the world".

The term "Spring Festival" first appeared in 1980 in "Rén Mín Rì Bào", which can be said to be the most affectionate expression of Chinese people's homesickness.

Lin Qiang heard from last night's "news broadcast" that in the past 20 years, the Spring Festival transportation army has grown from 100 million to 2 billion in 2006, which is equivalent to moving the total population of Europe, the Americas, and Oceania once. Hidden behind the Spring Festival is the big problem of the country's social development, such as the local concept of the Chinese people, the dual structure of urban and rural areas, the allocation of resources, the hukou barrier and a series of deep-seated factors.

In addition to bringing a huge test to transportation, the Spring Festival has also caused a lot of social problems, especially "hard to find a ticket" and "floating fares", which have made the people complain. Since the beginning of the new millennium, the railway department has put forward a plan for floating fares during the Spring Festival transportation on the grounds of "limiting passenger diversion" and "shaving peaks and flattening valleys", hoping to alleviate the pressure of the peak passenger flow of the railway during the Spring Festival transportation through price increases, but practice has proved that the passenger flow of the Spring Festival transportation has not decreased because of the price increase in recent years, and has been questioned as violating the "Price Law" and the "Consumer Rights Protection Law".

During the Spring Festival last year, the price of railway tickets rose sharply, with the price of hard seat tickets rising by 15% and sleeper tickets increasing by 20%. The price increase of the railway Spring Festival transportation is the same as the previous times, and no hearings were held, which attracted many doubts in the society. In this regard, Tiě dào bù explained that this is because "the conclusions reached at a hearing can be applied for a longer period of time in the same situation".

Ironically, fares have floated, but people returning to their hometowns are still hard to come by, and train stations across the country have been stranded with a large number of customers as the Chinese New Year approaches, and the situation has spiraled out of control.

It is gratifying to note that the spokesperson of Tiě Dào Bù announced on the 10th of the month that from 2007 onwards, the price of railway tickets for the Spring Festival will no longer be floating.

I don't know if it's a conscience or can't withstand the pressure from all sides, but this is undoubtedly good news for those who return to their hometowns for the holidays.

Lin Qiang's hometown of Fengcheng is only about an hour's drive from Guangzhou, and the Spring Festival transportation has little impact on him. After graduating from university and being assigned back to Guangzhou to work, Lin Qiang has been driving back to his hometown by himself, at the beginning he was driving a motorcycle, under the sun and rain, and he was also tireless.

Now the traffic is developed, the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway has entrances and exits near his hometown Gaoqiao Town, and it is very convenient to come and go, Lin Qiang goes back to his hometown many times every year, on average two or three times a month, therefore, Lin Qiang is different from those who go south to other provinces, and there is no so-called Spring Festival irritability.

But every year when the Spring Festival is approaching, Lin Qiang is also ready to go home early.

Before the introduction of partners, Lin Qiang often said to his workers that they had worked hard for a year, and it was not bad to make money these days, and every year they would no longer take on new business around the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and they would close the shop for a holiday after the work at hand, and go home happily for the New Year, and wait for the Lantern Festival to come back after the Spring Festival to open their doors. At that time, his business was still relatively single, and the continuity between the businesses was not strong, and after completing a single order, it had nothing to do with an order or the next order, and he was completely free to control the time, and it did not have much impact on him to receive more or less orders.

But since the introduction of Qin Xiaohua, Cao Xu's investment, the establishment of the tide brand color carving Co., Ltd., the business has expanded a lot, Lin Qiang found that he can no longer be as free as before, when to take a holiday, and even when to return to his hometown during the Spring Festival that year, he was still worried about the expansion of the plant, and as soon as the seventh day of the Lunar New Year passed, he hurried back to the company.

During the Spring Festival last year, because the business had expanded to Yangzhou, and he was quietly planning the Yanghe River remediation plan, he even rushed to Xintang to visit He Chengman on the third day of the Lunar New Year and asked him about the river chong remediation issues.

And now, Lin Qiang is involved in more industries and businesses, although he has always advocated decentralization, and the specific affairs are let go of the people below to manage, but as the helmsman of the enterprise, there are many things to think about, not to formulate a direction and strategy, can be completely let go.

This also made him deeply understand the meaning of those who are truly successful people who work more than ten hours a day, but still feel that they don't have enough time.

In the past, he didn't have much money, but he could tell the workers in a chic way that making money was not bad for a few days, and now he has a lot of net worth, and even to a certain extent, it can be said that he has already achieved financial freedom, and money is no longer so important to him, but Lin Qiang found that his own free time is getting less and less, and even wanting to go back to his hometown early for the Spring Festival has become a luxury.

It wasn't until today that Lin Qiang was able to really pull out and drive back to his hometown Gaoqiao Town with his wife Xiaolan and daughter Xinxin.

Xiaolan had already bought the New Year's goods in advance, and she was now more than two months pregnant, although her figure was not very obvious, she could change into some looser clothes. Her figure has always been very slim, and she laughed that she would not get fat no matter how she ate, even if she is pregnant now, she can't see the fat of ordinary pregnant women at all.

Since Takahashi Computer Stone Carving Heart moved to the current Yongxing Industrial Park, Xiaolan rarely went to the company, but stayed at home to take care of her daughter. Shin Shin is now in the fourth grade, her grades have always been at the top of her class, the school is very close to their home, from this semester onwards, Xiaolan does not have to pick up and drop off every day, and she can rest assured that her daughter and her classmates in the same building will go to study by themselves.

Xiaolan herself has never been keen on shopping, preferring to stay at home to watch TV and catch up on dramas, she is a typical little woman at home who is content with the status quo, and never interferes with her husband's business and daily entertainment, in her mind, she has always had confidence in Lin Qiang, although when her daughter was born, she experienced a very difficult time, but she believes that Lin Qiang will definitely cheer up from the setbacks, and without hesitation, accompanied her husband, who was at the lowest point in his life, without complaint, and used his weak shoulders to support the crumbling whole family with Lin Qiang.

And when her husband rose again in the business world, Xiaolan silently hid behind her back, took care of her daughter and her husband's daily life and diet with peace of mind, and created a warm home for her husband who worked hard outside.

Lin Qiang also knows his wife's temperament very well, when his business has not developed to other cities, as long as he is not on a business trip, he will return home early every day, and rarely go home at night, and after returning home, he rarely mentions business to his wife, let alone tells her about his hardships. He can fully feel Xiaolan's kindness to himself and his silent dedication to his family, especially thinking that in his most difficult time, Xiaolan has always had no regrets and never gives up, Lin Qiang secretly made up his mind to work hard to give Xiaolan a comfortable life.

Although he knew that Xiaolan didn't value money very seriously, he still insisted on setting up a family security account and regularly depositing money in it for Xiaolan to keep it.

The only thing that makes Lin Qiang ashamed of Xiaolan is that he has an intimate relationship with other women outside, and those scenes in the business field can not be counted, but he has kept an ambiguous relationship with Qin Xiaohua, Su Juan and Li Wan for a long time, and it is also a kind of physical betrayal of Xiaolan.

Although Lin Qiang often comforted himself and said that the ambiguous relationship with Su Juan and Qin Xiaohua happened before he met Xiaolan, at least before he married Xiaolan, but the recent incident with Li Wan can no longer make excuses for himself, and he can only blame himself for not being determined enough to resist the temptation, and of course he must blame Li Wan for being too beautiful and taking the initiative to approach.

Fortunately, these three beautiful women have not put any pressure on themselves, and Lin Qiang did not deliberately hide his identity from the beginning, so to speak, everyone has no impure purpose, it is purely a mutual attraction between the opposite sex, and they can't help it, and because of this, Lin Qiang and them can enjoy their fun to the fullest, and will not feel pressure from all sides like other extramarital affairs. Su Juan and Qin Xiaohua can even become friends with Xiaolan in private, and Lin Qiang can easily take Xiaolan to meet them at any time.

Although Li Wan has never seen Xiaolan until now, Lin Qiang believes that with his understanding of her, even if she meets Xiaolan in the future, she will definitely not cause him problems.

For these so-called sexual encounters, Lin Qiang has his own principles for a long time, that is, not to take the initiative, not to refuse, and not to show off. In his own words, it's all going to be natural.

In addition, no matter how bright and fragrant he is outside, Lin Qiang always has a sense of responsibility for his family and Xiaolan, although he likes the new, he will never get tired of the old, this time he took the initiative to find someone to help Xiaolan take off the birth control ring and conceive a second child, in addition to asking for his own and his parents' wishes, Lin Qiang also wants Xiaolan to really feel that she has always been his most cherished wife. 12
