Chapter 353: Arrived in Luzhou
"Dad, thank you for so many years, and I think my biological parents must be very grateful to you too." Gu Yu gave Jiang Defu a hug and whispered in his ear.
Jiang Defu smiled and patted Gu Yu's back, between men, between father and son, there is no need to say too much.
When it was time to board the ship, Gu Yu and his entourage stood on the deck and waved goodbye to Jiang Defu's Lao Ding family on the dock.
Several people arrived in Jiaozhou, sent Jiang Yaning to school, and took the train to Hui Province, this time in addition to sweeping the grave for Gu Gang and his wife, but also going around there, Jiang Yafei was very happy and excited, from childhood to adulthood, this is her first time going out.
Along the way, he kept talking, and from time to time beckoned An Jie and Gu Yu to look at this and that. Every time the train stopped, she would always go down to the platform to buy some souvenirs.
An Jie's eyes have never been broken, if she can, she doesn't want to recognize this daughter who has never seen anything in the world at this time.
Gu Yu is not short of money, and the express train he bought can reach a speed of 80km/h, and it only takes 14 hours to travel from Jiaozhou to Luzhou.
Because of the letter of introduction, coupled with Gu Yu's own identity, he was able to buy a soft sleeper car in this era.
You must know that in the 20 years from 1958 to 1978, the movement of the Chinese population was almost at a standstill, and everyone who left their place of residence to go out to do business needed to open a letter of introduction or show a work permit, otherwise they would be blind and would be severely punished once caught.
At that time, ordinary people could only buy hard seats, and those who bought hard sleepers had to be older or asked by the unit to find someone to buy.
Soft sleepers are only allowed to be purchased if they reach a certain level, and of course, foreigners who come to China can buy them.
Many Chinese who are good enough to ride in sleepers will not sit in sleepers. If you only buy a seat ticket because you can enjoy the sleeper standard at that time, the difference in travel expenses can be used as a personal allowance.
Therefore, in that era when life was not rich, many people went on business trips to save money. For the sake of privacy, Gu Yu bought four serial soft sleepers at a time, which was equivalent to buying a private room and spending sixty yuan, which was a month's salary for a third-level clerk.
Under such travel conditions, Yafei naturally only feels comfortable and happy, and she does not buy less delicious and delicious food, and the food sold at this time is fidelity and quality and quantity, and the taste is also good.
Gu Yu and they got in the car at three o'clock in the afternoon, Yafei was energetic eating, drinking and chatting, and after resting for a night, they arrived in Luzhou at eight o'clock in the morning.
Gu Yu didn't bring much luggage, it was inconvenient to take it, just have money and tickets, Gu Yu Yafei each carried a handbag, and An Jie carried a briefcase.
The three of them got off the train and left the station to see the staff who had come to pick them up. Gu Yu came to Luzhou, and was received by the local writers' association, the literary association and government departments.
After a few words of greeting, Gu Yu and the others were sent to the hotel to rest for the time being. At noon and evening, different departments held banquets and entertained them, and in the afternoon, there was a sharing session of the Writers' Association.
It stands to reason that at this time, many industries pay attention to seniority, although Gu Yu is very famous in the Chinese-speaking area, he is still too young, not yet 20 years old.
However, Gu Yu not only has works and fame, but also has been affirmed by leaders, and as a pioneer, the first person to eat crabs and serialize them in Xiangjiang, this sharing symposium can also be held.
In the evening, the government departments of Luzhou City held a banquet, in addition to chatting about family life and literature, they also asked about attracting investment and foreign exchange.
Now many people know that Gu Yu is not only famous, but also rich, and some newspapers have calculated that he may soon become a millionaire.
In this era when 10,000 yuan households are very rare, Gu Yu's assets can already be valued by the local government.
The most important thing is to attract overseas Chinese from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places to invest in the interior through Gu Yu, which is a national policy that has only recently been introduced.
Of course, Gu Yu would not agree, but said that he would inspect the local area during this time, first, he wanted to see the place where his father used to give his life for, and second, he could also see the local customs and customs, and he could help suggest the delegation of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots when he had the opportunity later.
The staff of the Luzhou government naturally applauded and looked delighted, and at the same time, they also set Gu Yu and several people to inspect Luzhou during this time, as well as the following counties and townships, there will be special staff to accompany the explanation, special car pick-up, and the local government will arrange food and accommodation, of course, if Gu Yu has other arrangements, he will come first, and only hope to make Gu Yu's family feel at home.
An Jie, who was sitting on the side, lamented that his adopted son is now as successful as Jiang Defu, and also lamented the changes of the times.
What did they just say about a million? An Jie suddenly thought of this, and Jiang Yafei also looked at Gu Yu blankly after hearing this.
In fact, Gu Yu didn't talk to An Jie Jiang Yafei about this, but Jiang Defu knew. When I came back from Xiangjiang before, I just said that it was serialized in Ming Pao, and it was also distributed by Xiangjiang's publishing house, at that time, there were two hundred and two thousand words, and it was only said that there were tens of thousands, so it had already made An Jie and the others stunned, Gu Yu glanced at their surprised eyes, and understood that they had to explain when they went back to the hotel at night.
After the host and guests had their best, Gu Yu and the others were sent back to the hotel, and at this time, there was no nightlife entertainment for singing, bathing, and spa.
"Xiaoyu, you made a million by writing books? Renminbi?
After returning to the hotel, Angel pulled Gu Yu to her and Yafei's room.
"It's all the income of two books, and it's not even a million." Gu Yu replied with a smile.
"That should be pretty much the same, right? Brother, have you become a millionaire? Oh my! Jiang Yafei on the side shook her head in surprise, with an incredible expression.
How much does that have to be? How much chocolate can I buy? What kind of chocolate do you buy, buy it directly from the factory, and the grilled chicken I ate yesterday is also good.
Not to mention Jiang Yafei, who is fantasizing about food and already has to save her saliva. In addition to being proud of the achievements of his adopted son, An Jie was also surprised that Gu Yu already had such a large fortune at a young age, but there were also worries and worries between his eyebrows, and it was not a good thing for people of their time to be rich.
"Xiaoyu, with so much money, will it be targeted, although the policy has changed in the past two years, some ideas are still conservative." An Jie said with concern.
"Mom, don't worry, the last time I went to Xiangjiang, whether it was serialized or published, it was recognized by the relevant departments, and when I returned to Yanjing, the leader specially talked to me, let me relax, encourage me to continue to create, and use better works to speak for the mainland, he also told me that in the past two years, the income policy of literary and artistic workers across the country will change, and I am not an alternative or a pioneer." Hearing Gu Yu's explanation, An Jie was relieved, he didn't have any political worries, and when he was a mother, he began to worry about Gu Yu spending money indiscriminately, and if he had money, he would become bad or something, which was another piece of preaching.
Jiang Yafei joined in the fun when she was unwell, and asked Gu Yu to buy her a chocolate factory, but was chased and beaten by An Jie.
