Jingteng Fanghua

Chapter 59 Cheers
"Xiao Tao, help me watch the pot, someone from my hometown is here!" Yang Guofu shouted into the restaurant.

A young woman in her twenties came to the side of the pot, followed by a naked baby, she picked up two long chopsticks and stirred the noodles.

"Both of you are from Yuanshui County?" Xiaotao looked at Liu Hua and Gao Qi, and asked in local Mandarin with a smile while stirring the noodles with chopsticks.

"I'm from Yuanshui County. My name is Liu Hua. He's my classmate. We came to the Special Economic Zone to open our eyes." Liu Hua answered Xiaotao's question.

"Both of you rest and drink some water first, and I'll cook two big bowls of mutton stewed noodles for you." Yang Guofu said.

"Thank you, Brother Yang! Plain noodles are fine. It's too hot to eat mutton." Liu Hua hurriedly stopped politely.

"Okay!" Yang Guofu didn't give in.

Liu Guofu went to talk to Liu Hua and Gao Qi. Gao Qi said to Liu Hua, "Did you hear what the migrant workers inside said? They all seem to be from a place called Lin County."

"Oh, is that so?" Liu Hua poked his neck and looked into the restaurant.

"The Lin County they are talking about, I wonder if it is the Lin County where the Hongqi Canal was built?" Gao Qi said.

"There is no second Lin County in Central Plains Province, it must be the Lin County where the Hongqi Canal was built." Liu Hua replied.

"The people of Lin County are really amazing! It is they who wrote the Hongqiqu spirit of self-reliance, hard work, unity and cooperation, and selfless dedication. This is a precious spiritual wealth!" Gao Qi sighed.

There was a young man who looked very smart and capable. From the voice, he should have come to pick up the people from Lin County. He said inside: "If we all gain a firm foothold in the Special Economic Zone, I will establish a Lin County Construction team, so that we can take over the work directly, instead of always taking the work of the setter, and being peeled off for nothing! You are all top masons at home, you must live up to this job, give A Fang's overseer left a good impression."

"We can repair the rivers and canals of Lin County People's Congress, so we still need to build a house?"

"Uncle Li, building a tall building is not the same as building a large canal!" said the young man.

"Lin Wa, we are here to join you, so you can do whatever you want!"

"Yes, everyone is here for you, as long as you can feed the big guys, send some money home every month, and give your wife and children new clothes during the Chinese New Year!"

"My mother said let me work hard with you and save money to marry a wife!"

"Hahahaha!" There was a burst of laughter.

Liu Hua and Gao Qi also grinned.

"Okay, as long as everyone works hard, there is absolutely no shortage of work. The special zone is currently undergoing heavy construction, and the first landmark high-rise building, the International Commercial Building, will be built soon. As the first landmark building in the special zone, it is of great importance. It is self-explanatory, so we must participate in its construction, which is also to give our own construction team a reputation!" The young man called Lin Wa said very provocative words.

"We don't understand anything, it's all up to you!"

"Yes, according to your arrangement!"

Everyone nodded at Lin Wa.

"This fellow, would you like to come out for a drink and chat for a while, we are new here, and I want to know about the situation in the special zone." Gao Qi appeared at the door and extended an invitation to Lin Wa.

"Who are you?" Lin Wa looked at Gao Qi with doubts in her eyes.

"Fellows from the Central Plains, you are from the Anyang area, and we are from the Xinye area." Standing beside Gao Qi, Liu Hua said in his native dialect.

"Lin Junsheng, they are from my hometown, my own people!" Yang Guofu introduced to Lin Wa, followed by another sentence: "I'll take a cucumber right away, fry a peanut, and have a garlic dipped mutton, today Happy, I treat you, everyone have a good drink."

"I'm treating guests, Brother Yang can do it!" Gao Qi said hastily.

"Hehe!" Yang Guofu smiled and said nothing.

"Hello! My name is Lin Junsheng. People from my hometown call me Lin Wa." Lin Junsheng came over and reached out to shake hands with Gao Qi and Liu Hua. It seemed that he was someone who had seen the world.

Yang Guofu first served Gao Qi and Liu Hua a bowl of vegetarian stewed noodles, and soon prepared three other dishes to go with the wine, and ran into the room to rummage for a while, and came out with two bottles of Linhe Daqu.

"This is brought from fellow villagers in Tuolin County. The wine from my hometown is easy to drink." Yang Guofu opened the bottle and gave everyone a big glass.

Lin Junsheng took out his Marlboro. After Gao Qi went to Tsinghua University, he basically quit smoking, but he remembered the advertisement for this kind of cigarette on the side of the road, so he took it. Liu Hua waved his hand, indicating that he would not smoke.

"Brother Liu, if a man lives in the world, it's okay if he doesn't know how to smoke. Go on!" Lin Junsheng stuffed the cigarette into Liu Hua's hand.

Liu Hua was naughty when he was a child, and once secretly smoked his grandfather's old tobacco, which made him cough for a long time, and never dared to smoke again.

Smoking may be a man's nature, Gao Qi gave some pointers, and Liu Hua began to smoke in style.

The four of them drank brightly and chatted speculatively, only to realize that Lin Junsheng was actually the first batch of technical secondary school students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. He majored in architectural drawing. After graduation, he was assigned to the construction team of the county. As soon as Haidong was designated as a special economic zone, he quit his job in the Mainland and came here without hesitation.

The family members were very opposed at the time, saying that he finally got the iron job that others coveted, and if he insisted on going his own way, his future would be ruined.

Lin Junsheng’s reason for convincing his family is that the Special Economic Zone is located in the south of Haizhou, on the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary, just across the river from Hong Kong. The special zone, as an important pilot for regional economic development, must be a vast world with great achievements and opportunities everywhere. Now is the time to staking the land, and you must first grab a place!
For this reason, regardless of his family's obstruction, he embarked on the train going south without hesitation.

After listening to Lin Junsheng's words, Gao Qi and Liu Hua gave him thumbs up.

"Hey, two brothers, as long as you are not lazy and willing to use your brains, this is a paradise for entrepreneurs, full of opportunities everywhere. As a man, regardless of success or failure in this life, it is worth living vigorously! Let alone now The opportunity has come, if you don’t make it now, when will you wait?” Lin Junsheng’s words were very heroic, and in him, he really has the spirit of the older generation of Hongqiqu who is fearless.

"Well said! Brother Junsheng, I offer you a toast!" Liu Hua raised his glass excitedly.

"For what Brother Junsheng said just now, I also offer a toast to Brother Junsheng!" Gao Qi also raised his glass.

"Then I'll accompany you with a glass of wine!" Yang Guofu also picked up the wine.

"Okay! Cheers! Hehe!" Lin Junsheng felt that a thousand glasses of wine are too few to meet a bosom friend, and he happily clinked glasses one by one and raised his head to drink the wine in the glass.
