Chapter 532: Reception
"Uncle, Dad, get ready to set off firecrackers! We are going to open the door of wealth to welcome the God of Wealth! When it was almost twelve o'clock, the three little guys ran over and shook Daniel Zhang Zhang Tao's hand and shouted, they were waiting for this.
When it was close to twelve o'clock, they set off firecrackers to close the door and close the door. I can't go out in the middle, and I can't go out until the firecrackers go off to welcome the God of Wealth.
Zhang Tao's parents have long stopped doing this work, and they have all been left to Zhang Tao's brothers to do, and some traditional things will start to take over now. And the three little guys watched this kind of activity for the first time, and they were very excited.
After listening to the words of the three little guys, Zhang Tao and Daniel Zhang stopped chatting, and then washed their hands and faces together. This is a necessary action, and of course the main thing is to bathe and change clothes.
They didn't pay attention to this, in fact, they had already done bathing and changing clothes. With three children in tow, the brothers went to the door with the firecrackers they had prepared earlier.
Lights are specially installed outside the door, and now there is no need for each family to pull the wires to install lights outside, and the village has specially pulled wires on every street, and there is no shortage of ancestral halls.
Usually these lights are turned off after 9 p.m., but when it comes to Chinese New Year, these lights are left on all night. Because when it comes to the Chinese New Year, there will be more people going out to play at night.
When Zhang Tao and the brothers lit the firecrackers, the three little nephews next to them shouted excitedly, and they didn't forget to pull Zhang Tao to light the rest of the fireworks, they like to watch these things.
At this time, firecrackers from other places around rang out, crackling as if they had been promised. This means that the old year is over and the new year begins.
"Happy New Year!"
After the firecrackers, Zhang Tao and the others did not continue to chat, and closed the door after congratulating each other. Then after sending a red envelope to the three little guys and Zhang Yan, he went back to the room to sleep.
Tomorrow morning, I have to get up very early to open the door of wealth and set off firecrackers, and the village will have to pay New Year's greetings together, and we can't go to bed too late, these are already a habit. Besides, this year's temple fair in their village will be busy on the night of the first day of the new year.
Early the next morning, the whole family got up and bowed to each other for the next year and said some words of blessing. A few little guys collected a circle of red envelopes, they slept late last night, and when they heard that there were red envelopes in the morning, they all got up early, and they didn't need Daniel Zhang and his wife to call.
Their family is not short of money, but Zheng Shuang has a very strict control over the children's pocket money, and the three little guys are fighting for their pocket money. During this Spring Festival, as long as they behave well, they will get thousands of red envelopes.
Zhang Tao's grandparents will give, Zhang Tao's parents will give, and then Daniel Zhang and his wife, Zhang Tao and Zhao Lin. This is at home, after the second year of junior high school, I went to visit the New Year, the relatives of Zhang Tao's father's hometown, and the relatives of Zhang Tao's mother, it is a big group of people.
Of the ten brothers and sisters on Zheng Hu's side, there are still eight still alive, and Zheng Hu is the youngest. Zhang Cuihua's four sisters are still alive. Counting the later generation, how much does this relative get? And Zheng Hu's generation, each family has three or four children.
After the family had breakfast, it was time for the village to travel together to worship the New Year. Someone over there took a loudspeaker and began to shout: "All the men, women and children of the whole village will gather at the ancestral hall together!" The village is unified to worship the gods and ancestors! ”
For Zhang Tao, they are used to these things. But it was different for the three little ones, they had never seen any of this, and everything was strange and fun.
The temple fair, in particular, is simply the most fun place for them. Over the years, the temple fairs here have become more and more standardized, and they have become more and more energetic. All the brigades in the entire high-tech zone joined in, and the activities were more lively than before.
The temple has been built and expanded over the years, and finally took shape into what it is now, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, not counting the vendors. Most of the people who go to set up stalls now, except for some young people, are people who come here to wander around.
The local people who originally set up stalls here have already earned enough money, so they can either set up a store next to it, or simply go home and stay in peace, take their children, or play mahjong.
In the words of those who come to work, the worst of the real locals here are people with a net worth of millions, who still come to do such a small business, and they are tired.
Those young people come to set up stalls just to experience life, and they really think they are here to earn that kind of small money. For other people, the money earned by setting up a stall here is not a small amount of money, and it is easy to earn more than 100,000 yuan a year here.
The temple fair on the temple side of the year is counted on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and there are two more this time, one is Guanyin's birthday, and the other is the birthday of the local temple god. The Spring Festival temple fair is two days, Guanyin is three days, and the local temple gods are five days.
The economy of Shonan exploded suddenly, and the standard of living here increased rapidly. A saying that the local gods are very spiritual and powerful has spread among the people, and the number of people who come to worship here reaches millions during each temple fair.
It's the best time of the year for business, and aside from that, business here isn't bad either. Because there is no entrance fee, tourists who come to Shonan always come to see it, and the average number of tourists here is about 200,000 per day.
With so many tourists, they can earn more if they use various tricks to earn money from other places. But don't think about these things here, honest elites are a must, if there are complaints from tourists, the people who set up the stalls will be disqualified, and in serious cases, they will be revoked from staying in Shonan.
These things are a set that Zhang Tao slowly explored here after going to study in the United States, and the district will not charge special fees to these people, but it will not allow these people to destroy the reputation of Shonan, so there will be these systems.
Where there is a penalty, there is a reward, and there are many reward systems. There are also a lot of reward systems such as civilized and law-abiding households, honest business households, and corresponding reward things, which are also very important to these people.
It's some experimentation, and it's some change. It shows that the people in the district don't need to rely on Zhang Tao to think of ideas to promote something, after they have run abroad a few times, plus their own understanding, they will also use some management methods that exceed other places in the country to manage their own towns, which is a welcome change.
In fact, there are not only these changes, but there is also a change in the architecture here. Basically, the buildings here don't see all kinds of wires pulling more spider webs, not only wires, but also network wiring.
These are the changes after the reorganization of the district over the years, because although the scenery here is very beautiful, the electric poles, light drill rods and other things that were pulled in the past have greatly affected the scenery of taking pictures and seeing in many cases.
Therefore, the district deliberately spent a lot of effort to rectify these things, so that the scenery here is more inclined to naturalization. Some of the buildings have also begun to become antique, and the houses are no longer built into small bungalows as they used to be.
All kinds of vehicles on the road have also begun to be strictly controlled, and bicycles and electric vehicles have begun to slowly replace the original cars, which is also due to environmental reasons.
As the high-tech zone grows bigger and bigger, the population here has also increased, and the number of cars running on the road has also increased. Although these do not actually affect the surrounding environment, the district has renovated this area.
For economic development, the environment is more important. You must know that all kinds of ecological planting and breeding here have been operating, and they have never given up because of the rapid development of high-tech economy in the district.
The stele in Huangpu Village has now been taken to the city, and the slogan of not wasting a little arable land and leaving some wealth for future generations is now known even to the whole country.
After the temple fair in the village, Daniel Zhang's family, plus Zhang Tao and Zhao Lin, and Zhang Yan replaced Zhang's father, fully representing their Zhang family to their relatives' families to pay New Year greetings. And the people of Zhang's father's generation are now gradually starting to launch these activities, all of which are handed over to young people.
If it is usual, Zhang Tao does not have to go, but not this year, he must go, and he has to take Zhao Lin with him. This is different from before, the two of them are now in a quasi-husband and wife relationship.
However, before he could play in the New Year, a sudden incident interrupted Zhang Tao's trip and asked him to return home early. Because the big leader was going to come to inspect the work, and he came relatively suddenly, it seemed that he had changed his route halfway to come and have a look.
This thing is a bit sudden, you must know that the second leader of the year ago also came to Xiangnan when he checked the ice disaster in the south all the way, and Zhang Tao attended the meeting with him at that time, why did the big leader suddenly come over again?
I didn't quite understand the meaning of the above, Zhang Tao simply made a phone call and asked Comrade Lao Li, in politics, Comrade Lao Li didn't know where to go more than Zhang Tao, and he was still standing in a high position, so he could naturally understand the Tao here.
"It's nothing, it's just that some of your things have been revealed during this time, and the big leader suddenly thought of this when he came out, so come over here to have a look, and go to your village to have a look by the way." Comrade Lao Li said it very easily, which made Zhang Tao feel a lot more at ease.
But then I think about it, and I always feel that things should not be so simple. What Zhang Tao does can hide from ordinary people, but it is impossible to hide it from the big leader. In front of the leader of a country, he should have no secrets, and it is estimated that he has been investigated clearly.
But as soon as Comrade Lao Li said this, Zhang Tao suddenly clarified some things. The big leader shouldn't have come to see him, after all, he doesn't have that qualification, he should think too much.
Although I have made a lot of contributions to the economic development here, it is very remarkable to take the time to meet me at most, and I don't need to come here on purpose. He is not qualified enough, Zhang Tao is self-aware in this regard.
Comrade Lao Li said that the big leaders were coming to their village, and Zhang Tao was thinking of the old people in the village at this time. At this time in the previous life, these old people were actually no longer there, but now they are still very healthy, and it seems that they can live for a while.
And the big leaders can have their current achievements, many times because of these old people. Therefore, Zhang Tao felt that the reason why the big leader came over should be to see these old people, because these old people also got better after moving here.
Compared to being restrained everywhere in the previous life, it is very difficult to do something. At this time, the big leaders have a lot of cards, and in recent years, under the management of the two of them, the economy has grown faster and more stable than before, so that the prestige of the two leaders has also reached a new height, and it is normal for him to come and see.
It's also a funny thing to say, an old leader back then pulled so many people out with one hand, but as soon as he died, he was cleaned up by the person he pulled out of his own hands, and then turned around and hugged the other thigh.
And in the blink of an eye, after someone holding his thighs reached the top, he forgot about the person who pulled himself in one hand, and even transferred that person's exploits everywhere to his new thighs. After the new thighs are gone, someone who is completely in power completely changes his face.
Then he trumpeted that he was up. To tell the truth, Zhang Tao really looks down on this kind of person, it's too bottomless. But this world is like this, how can people who can't boast climb up?
Now someone has retired for so many years, and still wants to continue to occupy certain resources, and then brags about himself. This was undoubtedly successful in Zhang Tao's previous life, but not now.
Some old leaders have lived for too long, which has restrained him, and some things have changed a lot, so that he can't do it if he wants to, which gives the current big leader the opportunity to do a lot less involved than in his previous life.
Now that the next successor has been determined, there are fewer ties around him, and the big leaders have time to come out and take a walk. This was very difficult in the previous life, and the great leaders in the previous life rarely walked outside, almost always on the Kyoto side.
Because of this incident, the entire Hunan Province and the high-tech zone have begun a major rectification. This has become the norm, and there are too many tourists here, so some things need to be paid attention to.
Zhang Tao was called back in advance, because the big leader might want to see him when he arrived, so some things needed to be prepared in advance. Now Zhang Tao himself is slowly announcing his identity, as the boss of an internationally famous large group, his identity is enough to meet with the big leader, of course, the premise is that the big leader is willing to meet him.
Zhang Tao doesn't have to worry about this problem, even if there are no conditions in all aspects, it is not difficult for him to meet the big leader. Just go home and squat home. After the big leader comes, he will definitely go to their village, how can he seize the opportunity to meet him, but it will be difficult to talk.
Now the big leader is willing to meet Zhang Tao, which saves Zhang Tao a lot of things. With Comrade Li's explanation, Zhang Tao himself has a lot of confidence in his heart, prepare things, and then wait for the meeting.
