Chapter 908: Back to Yanjing
"Husband, you're back, Aunt Wang has arrived."
"I see." Xu Dong nodded, "Aunt Wang, when did you arrive?" ”
Xu Dong asked casually.
The last time he and Aunt Wang met, it was the year before last, when the domestic flood was raging, he went back to participate in the national mobilization meeting, and even the "Lina" was temporarily requisitioned to transport relief supplies.
"The plane yesterday afternoon was too late, so I didn't come to bother you."
Wang Xiujuan replied with a smile.
"Aunt Wang, I've wanted to say congratulations to you in person for a long time, Brother Zhang has finally come out this time."
Xu Dong immediately sent congratulations.
Southern New State is the most populous, industrialized and urbanized state in Kangaroo Country, with a total area of 800,000 square kilometers, which can definitely rank among the top five in Asia, and is a veritable economic state.
If it weren't for the small overall population of Kangaroo Country, with a population of less than 120 million, it could be divided into at least three states according to domestic zoning standards, and even have a coastline.
That's a lot of money!
In a word, this governor carries a lot of weight.
Aunt Wang's face was wrinkled with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this!" I heard Zhang Kai say that you have led people to invest in a lot of projects on his side, otherwise he would not have achieved what he has today. ”
"Isn't it outside, what is the relationship between the two of us? Besides, these are normal business dealings, and I didn't suffer a loss, and I made a lot of profits? ”
Xu Dong waved his hand.
"Yes, yes, it's all a gesture, you're welcome." Mother Xu echoed.
After some politeness, Mother Xu asked about the situation in the capital, after all, she hadn't been back for many years, and she didn't know what the old house had become.
After all, Wang Xiujuan is old, she just said a lot of things, and she was emotional, and she was a little gasped, so she could only be answered by Zhang Xue.
"Grandma, the capital has recovered quickly in the past two years, and there were rumors that the capital would be moved, but now it seems that it should be impossible, but it has stabilized a lot of people's hearts."
"Oh? Is there a document out there? ”
Xu Dong was a little surprised.
Since his retirement, he has paid little attention to domestic news, at most he has watched the news station, and the information he has learned is very limited.
Zhang Xue nodded: "The above plan is to rebuild a large railway connecting Asia and Europe, from the capital in the east to Lundun in the west, with a total investment of up to one trillion yuan."
I also listened to my father's analysis, if the above really wants to move the capital, it is absolutely impossible to invest so much money, which not only has economic accounts, but also political significance. ”
"Are you sure?" Xu Dong hurriedly asked.
"It should be confirmed, it is said that the preliminary survey is already underway, as for the specific situation, godfather, you can ask my father, he should know better."
"Okay, when your dad is done, I'll visit him personally."
"Godfather, in fact, if you don't move the capital, there is another layer of consideration." Zhang Xue then added.
"How?"
"You also know that our old Zhao works in the Meteorological Bureau, and according to him, with the continuous decline of sea level, at most another ten years, the entire eastern sea will become a new landmass.
At that time, there will be an area of two million square kilometers more, and the Great Xia, the Southern Dynasties and Nisang will be connected, and the entire Nisong Sea will also become an inland sea, and there will be great potential for future development. ”
"Isn't that right?" Yang Lina was surprised, "According to what you say, isn't Yanjing too far behind?" Isn't it time to move east? ”
"It won't move eastward, there are many earthquakes and volcanoes near Nisang, and the coast is not suitable as a capital. In fact, distance is not a problem, it is a big deal to repair a few more water pipelines, and you can also directly excavate artificial canals,"
Zhang Xue explained casually.
She works in the water conservancy system and knows more about this aspect than the average person, and at present, major cities have perfect water pipelines, and location restrictions are not absolute.
Even the inland areas have developed well.
This is also a fundamental reason why the tide of migration has fallen into a trough, and the country's decades-long improvement of water pipelines is finally seeing results.
Mother Xu was not interested in moving the capital or anything at all, and the old man directly interrupted: "Xiaoxue, is grandma's old house still there?" Has anyone taken possession of it? ”
"Grandma, don't worry, I went to see it before I left, although the house is half gone, but the land is still there, my brother will help you look at it!"
"That's great." Mother Xu turned her head to look at her youngest son: "Third child, Mom wants to go back to Yanjing to have a look, and by the way, I will go back to my hometown Luyang, you can help me arrange it." ”
"Mom, the boss and I can go back for you, you are not in good health, don't take risks, long-distance travel is not a joke."
Xu Dong hurriedly persuaded.
"Yes, Mom, don't joke with your body, Xiaobaan will be married in ten years, and you still have to hold your great-grandson!"
Yang Lina followed closely and echoed.
Xu Ma was unmoved: "Isn't it possible to fly now?" Your Aunt Wang is about the same age as your mother, she can do it, why can't your mother? ”
"Lao Zhang, don't be reckless, I'm five years younger than you, and I didn't fly straight over.
There were several flights in the middle, and I had a break for half a month, and this almost cost me half my life, so I'm not kidding you. ”
Wang Xiujuan helped persuade.
"Mom, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the little bread and them, right? They usually rely on you the most, you can't make them sad, right? ”
Yang Lina continued to persuade.
She knows that her mother-in-law's weakness is the children.
Xu Ma thought about it, and finally sighed:
"Okay, I won't go, you and the boss will set off in a few days, repair the old mansion first, and then go back to Luyang." Our family hasn't been back to sweep the grave for many years, and I don't know if our cemetery is still there? ”
"It should still be there, right? I donated a lot of money to my hometown a few years ago, and I specially asked them to help take care of my grandfather's cemetery, no problem. ”
Xu Dong hurriedly reassured.
"It's okay, when your dad was still there, the most worrying thing was the family's cemetery. After a few years, I will be gone, you remember, you must bring my and your father's ashes back to your hometown, people will always return to their roots. ”
Xu Ma said earnestly.
Wang Xiujuan waved her hand on the spot:
"Lao Zhang, don't say such unlucky words, I see that you are very strong, you look younger than me, we will have a long life in the future!
Besides, you still have so many great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters, look at how painful the children are, don't tell me, are you really willing to leave like this? ”
"It's time, you can't leave it!"
Mother Xu sighed.
The old man of their family left very suddenly.
There was no sign at all, and it was gone if it was not.
Yang Lina saw that the atmosphere became more and more sad the more she chatted, so she quickly changed the topic:
"Aunt Wang, have you bought your house?"
