Chapter Thirty-Seven: Feast the Folks, Take the Opportunity to Mobilize

Li and Tao hugged Secretary Wang and walked into the courtyard of the Li family together, only to see that the villagers in the spring breeze and the relatives and friends of the Li family have arrived, and there are five tables of eight immortals in the courtyard, crowded and full of guests, everyone is talking and laughing, very lively. Secretary Wang first greeted everyone: "Hello folks! I, like you, have come to drink Li's wedding wine today, because he has won glory for us in the spring breeze! Everyone looked at Li and applauded in unison. The yard is even more lively.

Lao Li saw that all the guests had arrived, so he notified the chef to start the table. In a short time, large pots of meat and vegetarian dishes filled the five tables. Song and Feng brought two cases of liquor and four cases of beer, and each table brought four bottles of liquor and eight bottles of beer, indicating that they would take it after drinking. The young man took the lead, took the bottle, immediately opened the cap with his teeth and hands, and filled the glass for each guest. So everyone began to drink and eat with chopsticks.

After three rounds of drinking, Lao Li first stood up and spoke with a spring breeze on his face: "Everyone is drinking and eating, and listening to me say two words: Those who are here today are my relatives and friends of Lao Li, and Secretary Wang is our old leader in the spring breeze." Some people can't help but ask: Your son didn't invite us to drink wedding wine when he got married, why did you invite us to drink wine today for no reason? I am a person who is happy and worried, and I will never hide it. When Lee got married, I was unhappy. Why? Because he didn't get into college. His mother and I worked hard to train him to study for more than ten years, and we were counting on him to be admitted to university and glorify his ancestors; As a result, the bamboo basket was empty. Why are you inviting everyone to drink today? for my heart rejoices. Li worked in Shenzhen, and now he is the special assistant to the general manager of Shenzhen Electronics Company, and he has also learned to drive a car, with a monthly salary of more than 4,000 yuan, two years, in addition to the money he usually sends home, he will earn me back 50,000 or 60,000 yuan! And build me ten small two-story houses. And ye say, Is this son of mine a good man? Should I be happy? Should we invite everyone to drink? Come, I'll toast you three times first! Lao Li raised his neck and drank a glass of wine, poured two more glasses, and drank them all. The Lord does not move, and the guest does not drink. The host took the lead in drinking all three glasses of wine, and the guests naturally drank them all.

After listening to Lao Li's words, everyone drank all the wine, and shouted for Li to talk about working in Shenzhen, hoping that they or their children could work in Shenzhen like Li and make a lot of money. So Li stood up and said: "To be honest, I went to Shenzhen to work out of helplessness: I failed in the university entrance examination, and my parents were very sad, and they were unwilling to organize a wedding for me even when I married Tao. Zhuang Zhong also has a bad opinion, thinking that I am a good person but useless. So I decided to go to Shenzhen to work and prove that I was still useful with practical actions. When I first arrived in Shenzhen, I worked as a porter in an electronics company, pulling containers, and my monthly salary was only more than 1,000 yuan. Later, my work was appreciated by my boss, and I was promoted to the special assistant to the general manager, and my salary rose to more than 4,000 before I had savings. To be able to get to today's level, it also depends on hard work. Summing up the experience of working in the past two years, I believe that in today's reform and opening up, as long as we are not afraid of hardships and work hard, we will definitely have a bright future. When I returned to my hometown today, I saw that my relatives and friends were talking about the development of Daliangshan tourism, and I was very happy that I would have a great future in the future! I also toast you with three glasses of wine. ”

Then the old mountain master stood up impatiently, he stroked his goatee and said: "I am the oldest in the spring breeze, the longest in the class, and the most experienced in seeing people. The three children of Taoli Xing were grown up by me. When he was eight or nine years old, he went to school, and when he climbed the mountain, Li pulled one by one, and when he crossed the river, Li carried the peach and apricot one by one. From the first grade to the sixth grade, it was like this every day for six whole years. I think that this kid Li is different, kind-hearted, enduring, and will have great success in the future. But he didn't get into the university. Some people say that I am too old to see people. I don't accept old age, I don't believe it. What do you think? Today Lee is out of the end. It shows that my eyes are still accurate. Xing was admitted to university, needless to say, she is promising. Although Momo has not been admitted to university and has not done anything big so far, I dare say that she will also have a great future in the future. Not convinced? Just wait and see! After the old mountain master finished speaking, he drank half a glass of wine and sat down, saying: "The Li family has wine, you can drink as much as you want, I can neither accompany you nor restrict you." Everyone laughed and drank from their glasses.

Secretary Wang finally stood up and said: "Chunfeng is also my hometown, I have been the secretary of the village branch here for three years, and I have opened up the road to the county seat with everyone, so that everything that everyone collects in the fields, fights in the mountains, and picks in the forest can be transported to the county to sell, and then buy fertilizers, pesticides and daily necessities in the county town at home, no longer deceived and exploited by the merchants, and life is getting better day by day." Everyone also feels that life is good. But please compare your food, clothing, and housing with Li Bibi, is there a gap? How big is the gap? Li is about to build a building, build ten rooms with one hand, two floors up and down, can your family afford to build it? Where did Li earn all this money back? Shenzhen! However, a few years ago, Shenzhen was a small fishing village on the edge of the South China Sea, and life would not be much better than ours. What did it grow on the basis of its rapid prosperity? First of all, it relies on the party's policy of reform and opening up to enrich the people, and secondly, Shenzhen is close to Hong Kong and has unique and good conditions. Now, the party has also handed over to us the policy of reform and opening up to enrich the people, and we also have unique conditions here, that is, the beautiful scenery of Daliang Mountain! But why haven't we become as wealthy as Shenzhen has been? The key is that our minds are not emancipated enough, the steps are still too small, our Daliangshan tourist scenic spot has not yet been developed and built, and foreign businessmen are still unwilling to come in to invest. If our tourist scenic spots are successfully developed, and domestic and foreign tourists continue to come for sightseeing, our financial resources will roll in like the water of the Yellow River. At that time, every member of our villagers could wear a suit, live in a western-style house, and eat fish and meat, which was no worse than Shenzhen. You asked Li to talk about it, is that the truth? ”

Li knew in his heart that Secretary Wang was asking him to take the lead; So he said: "Actually, where do I want to leave my parents, wife and children behind and go to Shenzhen, thousands of miles away, to work? Every night, I think about my parents, my wife and children, I can't go home, and I feel tormented! I don't know how many tears have been shed. But there is no way, our tourist scenic area has not yet been developed, although I have read for so many years, there is no place for it. Don't look at me now as a special assistant to the general manager, with a salary of more than 4,000 yuan, as long as the development of the tourist scenic spot in our township is successful, I promise to come back immediately to participate in the work of the scenic spot. Lee swore by it.

Secretary Wang and Li's words really touched the villagers at the five tables, and everyone also began to discuss the development of the scenic spot; In particular, some young people are more motivated, and some even ask Secretary Wang "when will the tourist scenic spot be successfully developed". Secretary Wang replied: "As long as everyone really wants to do it and takes practical actions, within one or two years, it will definitely be able to be successfully developed." When the time comes, you will all wear a suit and tie like Lee and go out to drive a car. Secretary Wang was afraid that talking too much would affect everyone's mood of drinking, Lao Li was unhappy, he stood up and raised his glass and said: "Come, in order to congratulate the early development and construction of Daliang Mountain Tourist Scenic Area, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I toast everyone with three glasses of wine." Everyone was very happy to see the secretary toasting, and they toasted three times in a row.

Next, everyone was more happy, so they looked for a partner and shouted to make a fist.

Secretary Wang had something on his mind, and quietly called Li, Tao, Li's father and younger brother to the house to discuss the matter of postponing the construction of the building and taking the lead in investing in shares. Lao Li was a little incomprehensible, and said: "I already said at the wine table just now that I want to build a two-story and ten-room building, but now I don't build it, don't you say that I brag?" Secretary Wang said: "No, you take the money to the conference to invest in shares, everyone sees it really, how can you say that you are bragging?" I will only say that you know the general situation, take the overall situation into account, and sincerely support the development of scenic spots. In this way, as soon as we publicize it on TV and radio in the whole township and the county, your family's reputation will be higher, and you are afraid that your two younger sons will not find a partner and will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law? Absolutely not. And they have a fixed job in the scenic area, the salary, and the conditions will be better. Many girls are looking for a job but can't find a job. ”

Lao Li looked at Li Hetao and said, "The money is yours, you want to invest in shares, and I have no opinion." Tao said, "Dad, I think so: although the money built into a building is beautiful, it is dead, and it can neither increase in value nor help the two younger brothers find jobs; If we invest in shares and pay dividends according to shares every year, our money will increase in value, and we can also find jobs for my two younger brothers and me in the scenic area, but Li is reluctant to work in Shenzhen, and he will have a job to do when he comes back. Isn't that better than building a house? Peach was afraid that Song and Kaede had an opinion, and asked them, "What do you see?" The brothers looked at each other and said, "We also think it's better to have a job." It is not honorable to rely on the building built by the eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Secretary Wang was very happy to see that Li's whole family agreed, and said to Li: "You and Tao are well prepared and will take the lead in investing in shares at the conference the day after tomorrow and play a leading role." ”

He stood up, held Lao Li's hand and said, "Brother, thank you for having so many sons and daughters-in-law who understand the general situation, take the overall situation into account, and are promising!" In the future, when they all have jobs, you and your wife will live better. I still have to go back to the township to report the situation to the leaders, so I won't say hello to everyone. "Say goodbye. Li wanted to drive him, but he waved his hand and said, "You go and entertain the guests, I'll borrow a bicycle and go back." After saying that, he went out of the back door alone and went back to the village to report work.

Li and his father returned to the wine table and continued to drink and talk with everyone; When the wine on the table was finished, he went to the box and took it again. After drinking until the red sun sank, everyone got up and left the Li family, talking and laughing all the way, and went to their house crookedly.
