Two days later, Zhang Xingming came to Kyoto quietly.

It's still the yard next to Coal Hill Park.

"Haha, little ghost, I thought you were going to hide abroad for a long time. The old man was very happy and walked over to shake hands with Zhang Xingming.

"Hello grandpa. What am I hiding, I'm not going on over there. Zhang Xingming's mind was seen through and he was a little embarrassed.

The old man waved his hand and said: "It's okay to hide, it's not interesting to stand on the tuyere, we can do things well than say anything, I know your affairs, comrades' hearts, and you yourself must also know in your heart." It's good if everyone has a number. ”

Helping the old man sit down, Zhang Xingming took out a cigarette from the old man's cigarette case on the table and lit it, and said, "It's better to smoke your cigarettes here, but foreign cigarettes are more difficult to smoke." ”

The old man sat on the rattan chair and leaned forward, looked at Zhang Xingming smoking with great interest, and asked, "No one cares about your smoking?"

Zhang Xingming said: "No. I smoke a lot, sometimes only a few days, and I don't have any addiction. ”

The old man said, "I have someone to take care of everything I do, don't smoke cigarettes, don't drink alcohol, don't eat this and that, I don't live as well as you." ”

Zhang Xingming said with a smile: "I'm still young, I can be willful for a few years, your current body is not personal, it is the state, of course, there are more restrictions than mine." Besides, I don't believe the staff can handle you. ”

The old man laughed happily, waved his hand and said, "If I just don't listen to them, I'm going to be so angry that they cry." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Now that you are planning to retire, why don't you go out for a walk? In the past few years, there have been great changes in various parts of the country, and some places have even completely changed their appearance; now that the common people are well fed and clothed, and their living standards are constantly improving, you should go down and have a look." ”

The old man gently patted the armrest of the rattan chair and said, "I have to forget the appearance of many places I have been to, I have been to Ganxi in the past 20 years, you know." I can't help myself. I've read your reports and photos over and over again, and it's important that you're now the window through which I know the outside. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "I hope that this area is basically aimed at underdeveloped areas, poor areas, mainly rural areas, you should go to the cities around the country to have a look, with each passing day." I'm sure you'll be very happy watching it. ”

The old man asked, "Is there such a big difference between the city and the countryside now?"

Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "Very big." In the past 10 years, peasants' incomes have basically remained the same, and there has been no marked increase, but the cost of living has risen year by year, and this is also the inevitable result of development.

Moreover, the taxes and fees in the countryside are a bit too much, and many places are almost unaffordable. They don't have much to come from, that land, but they don't have any less than the population of the city, or even more. This is also the reason why hope was born, there are too many children in rural areas who cannot afford to go to school. ”

Xiao Zhou coughed on the side, and the old man turned his head to look at Xiao Zhou: "What's the matter? I can't hear a few words of truth? Xiao Zhou walked out stupidly, glared at Zhang Xingming, and gave him a look.

Zhang Xingming said: "For the time being, this difference between rural and urban areas is acceptable, but it should be solved as soon as possible, because there are too many peasants in our country, and only when they become rich can our country become truly rich." ”

The old man asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Xingming said: "One tax system, now there are too many fees. In the future, if one day, we can exempt agricultural fees, then our country will be really strong. ”

The old man said, "Now is not the time. When it stabilizes, and the north side also stabilizes, you come back and go out with me for a walk, and show me around. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Okay, it is estimated that it will be in one or two years. ”

The old man knocked on the table with his hand and said, "I have thought about the naval problems you said, and I agree with your statement. But we are too far behind in this regard, although we have been digging and cultivating, and we are trying to find ways everywhere, but the general plan cannot be made out of thin air. In this regard, it is up to you to figure out a way.

You are a ghost elf, with a lot of ideas and a lot of courage. If there is any need, just speak, although we are a little weaker, but we still have a little strength. The old man raised his hand and made a spanking gesture: "Don't hesitate when you should do it, the time waits for no one, don't be afraid of anything, I'm still here, the country is here." Your approach to the south this time is very good, I can't move when I'm old, and the international situation doesn't allow it now. It's up to you. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "I am going to build a shipyard in the south, and I may need a lot of professionals at that time, and it may take a long time. ”

The old man slowly leaned back on the rattan chair and thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that the secrecy work will not be easy." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Whether we are afraid or not, Westerners don't want us to be good. I'm afraid it's like this, I'm not afraid it's like this, what else can they do, if the water comes to cover it?"

The old man said: "Economically, we are still dependent on others, and it is impossible to go out and increase our influence in the international arena without accepting some squeezing." Little guy, compromise is also a science. The country is big, and you don't dare to be reckless in anything. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "I understand, but I am a little unwilling. Within two years, we should be able to basically catch up with them in industry, science and technology, but it will take time to reach universality. Take your time, I'm still young anyway. ”

The old man nodded, reached out and took a cigarette for himself and lit it, saying, "It's better that you are here, I can kick him out, and I don't have to look at his face when I smoke, haha." ”

Xiao Zhou's face appeared at the door and glared at Zhang Xingming.

Zhang Xingming stood up and walked over to Xiao Zhou and said, "What does the old man usually drink?"

Xiao Zhou said: "Tea, boiled water." More tea. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Stop the tea." Boiled water, you can drink a little coffee, and Uncle Zhou, don't look at the old man if he wants to smoke in the future, as long as it is not too much, he smokes that cigarette, and there is no problem with smoking a pack of cigarettes for two or three days. ”

Xiao Zhou looked at Zhang Xingming, and Zhang Xingming said: "Also, vitamin comprehensive pills, give the elderly a little bit every day before going to bed in the future." ”

Xiao Zhou said: "Listen to the medical staff. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "You still don't understand the medical staff here? They only need to have regular physical examinations, as long as they don't eat too greasy, and maintaining a happy mood is the most important thing for the elderly." Also, appropriate activities, take him out for a walk more, don't always be bored in this hospital, this is your duty, the medical staff can control you?"

The old man walked over from behind: "Right, listen to Comrade Xiao Zhang, don't care about me." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "This is the advice I consulted some foreign experts based on the physical condition of the elderly. The old man's body is very healthy, and he only needs to pay attention to nervous problems, and the nervous system will decline when people get old, you know?

Getting out and doing more, drinking a little coffee once in a while, and taking a multivitamin routine are not medicines, but they can keep your brain active to a certain extent.

In fact, playing cards can also be used, but playing cards requires too long a period of meditation, and must be combined with appropriate exercise, go to the park, look at the lake, take a walk, it can be regarded as breathable, and young people can't stand it all day long in this yard. ”
