Chen Guan wants to let the eldest lady of the Bai family, Edelweiss and grandpa and grandmother be buried together, not because he is dizzy and disoriented when he arrives in New York, nor when he sees the old man of the Bai family, he loses his principles under the reputation of the other party, but he thinks of the poignant love between Edelweiss and his grandfather, and thinks of humanity, that is, human nature, and thinks that the most beautiful thing in the world is true love. Since grandpa Chen Deda really loved Miss Bai, during the land reform, no one was allowed to touch the furnishings and furniture in Miss Bai's room, and every time he returned to Wulongyu, he went to Miss Bai's boudoir to visit, which proved that grandpa loved Miss Bai in his heart. People have been dead for half a century, and they should indeed be buried together. This may also be the most meaningful thing that his grandfather's only grandson has done to his old man!

When Angel went to call, the old man of the Bai family said to Chen Guan: "Young man, pull me up and help me walk around the yard!" ”

Chen Guan hurriedly put down the gift he was holding, reached out and hugged the old man of the Bai family, and helped him up from the chair.

After getting up from the chair, Bai Derong stood for a while with his crutches in both hands, squinted his eyes, looked up at the sky, and then looked down at the gift brought by Chen Guan. I didn't expect that the weather was good today, and a distinguished guest came, allowing me to see my relatives in my hometown. Speaking of which, the sky can be regarded as not thin on me Bai Derong! ”

The sky is not only thin to Bai Derong, it is extremely generous! Think about it, how many generations of Wulongyu people are old, and now there is a doctor Bai Derong from Cambridge University, and he also teaches his children well, and his five children are all successful in their studies, and they are all doctors from famous American universities. Such an achievement is enough to laugh at Wulong Mountain and be proud of the world!

Chen Guan couldn't interject, knowing that the old man of the Bai family was motivated by feelings, just listen to it himself!

One old and one young, two men from Wulong Mountain, slowly walked around the swimming pool.

Bai Derong is indeed old and can't walk. Chen Guan gently exerted force with one arm, which was equivalent to holding up half of Bai Derong's body, and the old man's body was brisk, with the support of the crutches, he walked unhurriedly, but easily.

Solving the problem of the relocation of the white edelweiss's bones, the old man of the Bai family was in a good mood, walking and talking, and his interest was very good.

Things are so strange, Chen Guan is just a 23-year-old young man, and he still belongs to the level of having no hair on his mouth and not doing things well, but he believes in his promise Bai Derong and believes in his promise of the Chen family!

The Chen family's man, the daughter of the Bai family, the golden silk catalpa wood, the concubine bamboo!

Chen Guan almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, and the old man of the Bai family actually muttered these two folk words in Wulongshan District!

As soon as Bai Derong talked about "the Chen family's man, the daughter of the Bai family, the golden silk catalpa wood concubine bamboo", he seemed to fall into memory, saying that he was 92 years old this year, he left home when he was young, his hometown accent has not changed, his sideburns have declined, and the children do not know each other, so he asked with a smile where the guests came from. The last time he went back to Wulongyu, he couldn't see a familiar person. Alas, the older generation has passed away, only the towering Wulong Mountain, the green mountains of the Wulong River do not change the green water and flow, and read the vicissitudes of the world!

Bai Derong said that young people today do not know that since the end of the Qing Dynasty, China's situation has not been good, not to mention that the foreign powers are waiting for them, and civil strife is also emerging one after another, and those warlords have the mind to govern the country and the people, and all they want is to grab territory. And the purpose of grabbing territory, that is, to make money, hegemony, and occupy women, there is no justice at all. The reason why he walked out of Wulong Mountain to study outside was not to save the country and the people at first, but to keep the family property of the Lao Bai family. Later, when I went to a big city and a foreign country, I broadened my horizons and thought about contributing to the country. I didn't expect that what I learned was completely useless after returning to China, and everyone was busy fighting the civil war and engaging in this and that, where could we take care of the development of the national economy and the people's livelihood! No, the wolf was lured in by fighting, and little Japan invaded China. This war is eight years in one fight! He later saw through it and became discouraged, and came to the United States after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. The current yard was bought after he came to the United States. Later, it was fashionable to expand the swimming pool and tennis court, which was actually a fitness place for children.

As soon as he said too much, Bai Derong was tired and had to sit down to rest.

Chen Guan has already seen that the current old man of the Bai family, Bai Derong, is indeed in his last years, and he is fluttering all over his body, and he is absolutely weak!

Bai Derong talked about his own affairs for a while, and began to ask about Wulongyu.

Bai Derong did grow up drinking the water of the Wulong River, he loved his hometown, and he asked about the old families in the village, and most of the names he said were the names of Chen Guan's lord and grandfather, many people Chen Guan himself had never heard of it, so he could only guess whose old man it was according to his surname, and then answer.

Bai Derong asked about the two brothers Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo, and the two sisters Bai Aixiao and Bai Aiyue.

Chen Guan said that the brothers Bai Aiguo and Bai Baoguo are very capable and have the best economic conditions in the village. Bai Aiguo once became the team leader, that is, the former production captain. Bai Baoguo used to work as an electrician in the village. Now the two brothers are no longer working as team leaders and electricians, and they have opened two department stores in the village, and their business is very good. Bai Aixiao married in Longwan Town, the man died in a car accident, and he is now single. Bai Aiyue was originally engaged to the son of Xu Zhonghou, the village party secretary, and became the director of the village women's federation, but she quit at the end of last year. Now the two sisters are no longer in Wulongyu, they have gone to work in Shuiquan Credit Union and become people of Shuiquan City.

Bai Derong was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked Chen Guan, how did the two sisters Bai Aixiao and Bai Aiyue get to work at the Shuiquan City Credit Cooperative? Who helped them?

Chen Guan said that there was an opportunity at that time, the credit union of Binhe District of Shuiquan City was recruiting, and the director of the credit union was his friend, and this matter was done in a hurry.

Chen Guan said lightly, although Bai Derong was old, he was not confused, and when he heard it, he knew that it was Bai Aixiao and Bai Aiyue, the two sisters of Chen Guanbang.

Bai Derong said that Chen Guan is good, it is rare to have such a mind and bearing, and he does not hold grudges!

Bai Derong is talking about the hatred of Bai Chen of the older generation, how did he know that the Bai Aiguo brothers were about to disgust Chen Guan to death, that was hatred and hatred. However, what Bai Derong didn't know was that the reason why Chen Guan helped Bai Aixiao and Bai Aiyue sisters, in addition to other reasons, the main reason was that the two Bai sisters had a love relationship with Chen Guan, who would help if he didn't help?

The old and the young were chatting, and Bai Derong finally asked what Chen Guan was doing now, and how did he come to the United States to study?

Chen Guan truthfully said that he is now secretary of the party committee of Zhouli Township in Mingshui County and deputy director of the county public security bureau, and that this time he is attending a study class organized by the province to study in the United States and at the Department of Social Management of New York University, which will only last for half a year, and he will return to China at the end of August.

Bai Derong was shocked when he heard it, he couldn't imagine that Chen Guan had become the secretary of the township party committee at such a young age. The last time he went back to Wulongyu, he was received by the relevant departments of Mingshui County and the party committee and government of Longwan Town, and he knew that the secretary of the township party committee and the head of the township were equivalent to the district chiefs during the Republic of China, and they were the responsible persons of China's grassroots political power.

Bai Derong was full of interest and asked Chen Guan to talk about his experience, how did he become the secretary of the township party committee at such a young age!

Chen Guan said that after graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Chinese Department of Zhongyuan University, and after graduation, he was assigned back to the Mingshui County Public Security Bureau and was sent to the Tonghua Town Police Station as a trainee police officer. Because he did a little work in solving the case, he took over as the director after the former director was investigated and punished for corruption. Later, there was a series of robbery, rape and murder cases in Tonghua Town, and he participated in the investigation of the case, which was regarded as a contribution, and was promoted to the deputy director of the county public security bureau, and was also awarded the title of "first-class heroic model" by the Ministry of Public Security, and then he was promoted to the secretary of the Zhouli Township Party Committee.

Bai Derong asked why he wasn't the secretary of the party committee of Longwan Town?

Chen Guan said that China is different from the United States in that it implements a system of exchange of cadres in different places, which means that local cadres cannot serve locally. He is a native of Wulongyu, Longwan Town, so he cannot be the party secretary of Longwan Town, and can only be promoted to other townships.

Bai Derong pondered for a moment, saying that this system was to avoid corruption, to prevent local officials from taking advantage of their hometowns, sitting big, and causing the tail to be big, and in the end, it was easy to form the kind of local powerful factions that claimed to be kings and hegemons during the Republic of China, and engaged in independent separatism. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to everything, and this kind of system is also prone to short-term behavior. In contrast, it is easier for cadres to represent local interests and do practical things for the localities. The system in the United States is different, and if you are not a local, you are not eligible to run! Elected officials and parliamentarians are accountable to their constituents and must fulfill their promises during the election!

This kind of topic is a sensitive topic, and Chen Guan doesn't want to discuss it, but Bai Derong is an old man, and what he says naturally has his own reason. Chen Guan could only listen quietly and savor slowly.

Bai Derong's body was weak, but his brain was not confused at all, he just clicked to the end and did not go deeper.

Next, let's talk about the current situation in Wulongyu.

Chen Guan told the old man of the Bai family that the current Wulongyu has changed a lot, the reason is that he led the villagers to establish the Wulongyu Tourist Scenic Spot, the Bai family compound is one of the main attractions of the Wulongyu Tourist Attraction, open to the outside world, and the front and rear Wujin courtyards are all renovated, and the layout of the courtyard is exactly the same as the original. On October 1 last year, on the National Day, the Bai family compound held a grand listing ceremony, and also held the Wulongyu Night Gala, which had a great impact! In the next step, Wulongyu Scenic Area will also rebuild Dayun Temple and build a statue of the Big Buddha on Luoyan Peak, with the aim of building Wulongyu Scenic Area into a well-known tourist attraction in China.

This was too unexpected for Bai Derong, and the old eyes lit up after listening to it, and it took a long time to ask: "Can tourists reach such a closed place?" ”

Chen Guan said that the county has built a tourist highway from Longwan Town to Wulongyu, and the city has launched a Shuiming fast track from Shuiquan to Mingshui County, which is now under construction and is estimated to be completed next year. In addition, the city is actively applying for the construction of a Suizumi Airport. After the airport is completed, domestic and foreign tourists can take a plane or train to Shuiquan, and change to a car to go directly to Mingshui along the Shuiming fast channel, and the traffic is still very convenient. He thought that in the future, when the conditions were ripe, he would strive to build a railway from Sangyuan to Tonghua Town, Mingshui County. In this way, all the closed Mingshui highways and railways were in place, the gates of the mountains were completely opened, and the economy naturally went up.

Bai Derong nodded frequently, saying that this idea is good, and it is the idea of really doing practical things, good!
