Zhuang Laishun and his wife looked at it and stood up to leave, Zhuang Li came to take Yaya, but Yaya desperately grabbed Zhuang Jihua's arm and refused to leave.

"Mom and Dad, you let them get busy, you can rest, Yaya, you say it's okay." Zhuang Jihua lowered his head and asked Yaya, and the little girl nodded desperately.

"The Cultural Revolution is right, there are so many people, you don't have to be busy." Zhang Jingjiang said with a smile, Li Zhilong then persuaded him, and Zhuang Laishun sat down with the old couple. Zhuang Jihua asked two questions about the situation at home, and then Zhuang Li opened the conversation.

"This old man clamored all day long to go back, saying that he was not used to living here, but in fact it was like this, he was reluctant to give up those few acres of land, and he was reluctant to give up those few rooms. …。 ”

"Haven't we fallen yet?" Zhuang Laishun replied sullenly, he was originally an honest man, otherwise according to the rules of the countryside, Zhuang Li had not given birth for so many years, and he had already been divorced, Zhuang Li originally had a low status at home, but she integrated into the life of Yucheng earlier, knew more, and dared to speak more and more.

"Dad, if you don't fall today, it doesn't mean that you won't fall tomorrow, and once the fight starts, it's too late to run again." Zhuang Jihua Wenyan said: "Look at the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, people from Wuhan and Henan have run to Chongqing, Sichuan and Yunnan, Dad, you can live here with peace of mind, and we will go to Chengdu together after a while." ”

"Cultural Revolution, the home is still in Yucheng," Li Zhilong said: "The old man bought a house in Guanyinqiao, let those two girls accompany them, and then Yucheng also has a place to live, anyway, you won't stay in Chengdu for long." ”

The meaning of Li Zhilong's words is obvious, Zhuang Laishun and his wife live in Yucheng, and Zhuang Jihua has many reasons to come to Guanyin Bridge after that, so that he can give people less irresponsible comments.

"Mom and Dad, what do you mean?" Zhuang Jihua understood, but he still asked for the opinion of Zhuang Laishun and his wife, he didn't think that there was anything to avoid between Yucheng, who didn't know the relationship between these people in the Southwest Development Team and him.

Before Zhuang Laishun and his wife could answer, Zhang Jingjiang spoke: "Brother Zhuang, you can stay, be a companion for me, there are few people in the hometown of Chengdu and Chongqing, and we two fellow villagers will have a companion." ”

Zhang Jingjiang's words made Zhuang Laishun hesitate, Chengdu is a new place, there is not even a familiar person there, but Zhuang Li shook his head and said: "Let's go with Jihua, I can still help him take care of the child." ”

"Auntie, the Cultural Revolution won't stay in Chengdu for long, let's celebrate the New Year, he still has to come back." Li Zhilong persuaded with a smile.

"Why?" Zhuang Li didn't understand, she looked at Li Zhilong very strangely, and then looked at Zhuang Jihua: "Why is this?" ”

"In the end, the affairs of Sichuan will be handed over to the Sichuan people, and Zaitian's opinion is reasonable." Zhang Jingjiang sighed, he knew what Li Zhilong meant, since Chiang Kai-shek began to be suspicious of Zhuang Jihua, it was impossible to let him sit in this position for a long time, otherwise the entire Sichuan, and even the entire southwest, local forces would be included in the Zhuang system, and Zhuang Jihua would really have the capital to confront Chiang Kai-shek.

"That..." Zhuang Li looked at Zhuang Jihua, she still wanted to go to Chengdu with Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua also felt that Li Zhilong's words were somewhat reasonable after thinking about it, and he tentatively said to Zhuang Li: "Or do it according to the meaning of being in the field, I am afraid that my time in Chengdu will not be long, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and running around, and the real time in Chengdu will not be very long." ”

Zhuang Laishun slapped his thigh: "Then we will stay in Yucheng, let your daughter-in-law go with you, and Yaya and Momo stay by our side." ”

But the girl shouted, "I don't, I don't, I want to go with my father." ”

"You little girl, aren't you good with grandparents?" Zhuang Jihua smiled and hugged Yaya on her lap and sat in harmony and said, "Mom and Dad have something to do, isn't it good for you to take care of your grandparents for Mom and Dad?" ”

Yaya's eyes widened, and her little brain melon was a little uncomfortable, she looked left and right, and suddenly pointed to the maid who opened the door who came in with tea and said, "Let my sister take care of it, and I will take care of my father." ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but laugh, Li Zhilong and Zhang Jingjiang were also happy, Mei Yuntian smiled: "Yaya, this is not good, don't you like grandparents very much?" Why don't you want to stay with your grandparents? ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at the maid who came in, feeling a little familiar, but he didn't remember seeing it there, Li Zhilong saw Zhuang Jihua staring at the maid, so he smiled and said, "What, I don't know each other?" ”

"It's a little familiar, but I can't remember it." Zhuang Jihua nodded, and the maid's face turned crimson: "The master forgot, I'm Ayi." ”

Zhuang Jihua remembered it now, isn't this the gift he gave him at the beginning of his self-study, the one outside must be Ani, they were left by him to study in Xichang, it seems that they should have graduated, why did they come to his house.

"Aren't you studying in Xichang? Why didn't you go home? Zhuang Jihua was a little stupid and asked sneeringly.

Ayi has studied in Xichang for a few years, and she understands a lot of truth, knowing what Zhuang Jihua means, her demeanor is a little gloomy: "According to the rules of the Yi family, if the master doesn't go back, we can't go back." ”

"Then, then, you can do something else, such as teaching or something, or if you don't go to the field, you can find them a job in the Southwest Development Team." Zhuang Jihua really didn't want them to stay in his home.

"Jihua, I like these two girls, I already recognize them as goddaughters." Zhuang Li had a smile in her eyes, she didn't think that taking a concubine was a bad thing, as long as she could add a few more children to the Zhuang family, it would be a good thing. It's just that Zhuang Jihua definitely won't want these two girls, so after Ayi and Ani came, when Liu Yinshu was at a loss, Zhuang Li took the initiative to keep them and recognize them as goddaughters.

Zhuang Jihua couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, this adoptive mother still has the hobby of recognizing her son and daughter, but the matter has come to this, so there is no need to say anything.

"Since Mom has spoken, then you can stay," Zhuang Jihua smiled, but the smile was more ugly than crying: "However, don't call any master in the future, if you want to call it, call it brother, understand." ”

"Well, I understand." Ayi replied happily, what she was most afraid of was to drive them away, Xichang was studying, and she had been in Yucheng for so long, of course she knew that it was not a good thing to be treated as a gift, but it really made them struggle in this society, and made them feel afraid.

Seeing Ayi go out happily, Zhuang Jihua sighed: "This self-study is really going to make trouble for me." By the way, Mom, what about Shu's mother? ”

At this time, Zhuang Jihua found that there was one less person in the family, and the second aunt had not shown up until now, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, Zhuang Li said angrily: "I went home, I was worried about Yin Shu and her father, and I went home with Yin Shu and his eldest brother." ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly, it seems that the second aunt still can't let go of the family. The second aunt has been with him for four or five years, and if she doesn't go back, I'm afraid that Liu Zhuang will divorce her wife.

"Cultural Revolution, what are your plans to come back this time?" Li Zhilong asked.

"How do you judge the situation on the battlefield, Cultural Revolution." Zhang Jingjiang also asked questions almost at the same time.

Zhuang Jihua thought for a while: "Wuhan is estimated to be unable to hold, and in the future, Yucheng will become the center of the national political axe, economy, politics and military, and after the loss of Wuhan, Yucheng will become the focus of the army's attack, but my estimate is that it is impossible for the army to attack Yucheng from the land, nor can it come up from the water, so Yucheng must strengthen air defense, fortunately, Yucheng is a mountain city, and it is more convenient to build air-raid shelters, but more important is organization. ”

Later, Zhuang Jihua said: "The key arsenals must be defended, the production of antiaircraft guns and machine guns must be strengthened, and the production of aircraft must also be strengthened, and we cannot completely rely on overseas purchases. ”

He was a little worried that after Hitler made a move in Europe, the attitude of Britain and the United States would not change, and once it changed, arms purchases would become a problem.

"The next step in the development of the southwest is to expand production and organize the people, and cadres will be the biggest key.

"There is also road traffic construction, the construction of highways and railways from Sichuan to Shaanxi should be stepped up, and the Chengdu-Guizhou railway can be started and completed, and strive to be completed within three years. We must speed up the construction of the highway from Xikang to Yunnan and the highway and railway from Chengdu and Chongqing to promote economic growth through investment and solve the problem of the livelihood of the refugees. Zhuang Jihua pondered: "It is expected that more than one million refugees will pour into Sichuan in the next year, and it is a big problem to solve the problem of feeding these people. ”

"In Tian, in the next few years, we will have more things to do."

Li Zhilong frowned: "So many projects, the Cultural Revolution, where did the funds come from?" Yuntian, is there still so much money? ”

Mei Yuntian silently judged: "It is more difficult to fund, and the Sichuan Development Company must provide some funds. ”

"What is the current output value of the development company?"

"Last year it was 600 million fiat dollars." Mei Yuntian did not hesitate to burst out the figures: "Stimulated by the war, the development company's various products are in short supply, and the scale of production has nearly doubled, but the currency has depreciated by 30%. ”

"It's only been two years and it's depreciated by 30 percent." Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Mei Yuntian to shake his head: "This is normal, we are too worried about inflation, now it seems that inflation is not terrible, moderate inflation is good for economic development." But the Cultural Revolution, this money you..., so many projects, overseas funds are not enough. ”

Mei Yuntian said and glanced at Zhuang Laishun and his wife, the old couple couldn't interject at all now, Zhuang Jihua nodded clearly, he thought about it and asked: "Can you issue bonds, it is called construction bonds, and maintain and increase the value." ”

"The issuance of bonds requires the approval of the Ministry of Finance, Kong Xiangxi there..."

Mei Yuntian's meaning is very clear, with the relationship between Zhuang Jihua and Kong Xiangxi, this approval is probably not so easy, Zhuang Jihua scratched his head, he felt a little difficult in his heart, he thought more, even if Kong Xiangxi approved, I am afraid that the money will be embezzled by Chiang Kai-shek, the war has been fought until now, the national finances have been very tight, such a large sum of money in hand, it is impossible for Chiang Kai-shek not to pick up the skin, I knew that this was the case, and the 500 million US dollars should have been kept.

"What other assets does the U.S. have at its disposal?" Zhuang Jihua thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to consider it from himself first, and not to take the road of issuing bonds unless he had to.
