The soul traveled through Qi Tongwei and ruined Liang Ping's dream of living a comfortable life

At exactly midnight, with a bang, brilliant fireworks rose above the stadium, and the year 1996, also amid the sound of firecrackers, officially became a thing of the past.

1997 is a year that will be remembered by countless people and is an extremely extraordinary year.

As New Year's Day comes to an end, the Spring Festival is approaching. On January 1, Jinshan public officials officially went on holiday, and Qi Tongwei also returned to his hometown of Yantai after an absence of half a year.

Yantai City, Hongjiang County, Yinling Township, Qijiatunzi, this is Qi Tongwei’s hometown.

February 2th was the New Year's Eve of the lunar calendar in 6. Qi Tongwei and his whole family gathered together in the house.

"Come on, Tongwei, let me toast you a glass," Qi Tongfeng picked up the wine glass and looked at Qi Tongwei happily.

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands and toasted back, "Hey, brother, what are you doing? Aren't you embarrassing me? Let's toast to our dad."

The second brother Qi Tonggong echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, toast to our father, toast to our father"

A happy smile appeared on Qi Dafa's wrinkled face, and he picked up the wine glass and started drinking with his sons.

At first no one allowed Qi Dafa to drink, but there was no way. Qi Dafa often worked in the fields in his early years and had long regarded drinking as a habit. Now that he is old, he simply cannot quit drinking.

So later on, the sons and daughters-in-law discussed and decided not to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach and just drink in moderation.

The fourth brother Qi Tongye didn't drink, but when he saw his brothers raising their glasses, he also picked up the juice on the table and toasted to his old father.

This was the first time that Qi Tongwei met his fourth brother. He did not take a holiday when he returned to Yantai last year, and when he took a holiday, he went to work in Luzhou again.

"Colleagues, how is it? Is Yanjing fun? Did you find a girlfriend in college?"

Qi Tongye smiled slightly, "Third brother, you should take care of yourself. Your parents always nag you and want you to get married soon."

Qi Tongwei patted his head and cursed himself for being stupid. Why asked such a question? Isn't it obvious that he is digging a hole for himself?

Sure enough, when Wang Xiaomei heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, "Old Three, Old Four are right, you are already grown up, it's time to find a wife, otherwise you will be alone, and I, as your mother, will be worried about you."

The second sister-in-law Li Xiu also laughed and said, "Yes, Tongwei, we were poor before and it was difficult to find a wife. Now it's different. Our family is rich. If you see someone you like, you must be brave enough to chase after her. We are all eagerly waiting for you."

"Yes, Tong Wei..."

"Yes, Tongwei"

"That's right, third brother, find us a third sister-in-law." In the end, even the two younger sisters started to join in the fun.

Qi Tongwei really wanted to give himself a big beating. How could he be so shameless to bring up such a topic on his own initiative?

"Hey, stop forcing our Tongwei. If you ask me, Tongwei is just too busy. Do you think he is the same as us? He works when he wants to and doesn't work when he doesn't want to? Our Tongwei is a leader. How can he have time to talk about a wife?"

Seeing Qi Tongwei being so humiliated, sister-in-law Liu Zhilan couldn't help but plead for him.

Qi Tongwei expressed his gratitude for understanding, but he was also thinking in his heart that it was time to consider his lifelong affairs.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Qi Tongwei pulled Qi Tongye aside, wanting to understand the situation better.

"Colleague, the job placement system for college students is going to be cancelled this year. What are you planning to do in the future?"

Qi Tongye is a sophomore at Yenching Normal University. His family was relatively poor during his high school years, but his life has changed since "Qi Tongwei" came along. He no longer has to check the balance when buying things.

"Third brother, it's too early for me, but as for me, um... I'm studying finance, and I want to work in a big company and become a financial executive in the future."

"Oh? Not bad, not bad," Qi Tongwei nodded, "Tongye, you can consider coming back to inherit the family property. Our family still has some businesses waiting for you to develop and expand them."

Qi Tongye hummed, "It's all right. Anyway, I listen to Third Brother. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Qi Tongwei waved his hand and said, "I'm just suggesting it. If you have any other plans, Third Brother will definitely support you."

"really?"

Qi Tongye became excited instantly and looked at Qi Tongwei excitedly.

Qi Tongwei secretly thought that this guy was waiting for this sentence.

"Third brother, I actually want to study in the United States after graduation. Many of my classmates are planning to do this, and I want to give it a try too."

"Study abroad..."

Qi Tongwei thought, "Well... OK, if you want to study abroad, go ahead. It's good to further your studies. Learning never ends."

Studying abroad seems to have become a trend these days. No matter whether they are the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich people, they are all scrambling to study abroad. No matter what school they go to, as long as they come back to China, they are returnees, high-level talents, and are welcomed wherever they go.

This trend continued until 20 years later, when the country gradually became richer and stronger, and people's cognition gradually improved. They no longer worshipped foreign things as they do now. Unless you studied abroad at a top university in the world, you would be said to have a fake master's degree, a degree bought with money.

Qi Tongye nodded happily, "Third brother, thank you. Our school is eligible for government-sponsored study abroad. I will work hard to get it. This way I can save a lot of money."

"Oh, that's not necessary"

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Tongye, you don't have to worry about the money. I've got you, just focus on your studies."

By the way, isn’t Yan Zi going to take the college entrance examination next year? You should give her more tutoring and help her get into a prestigious school.”

Qi Tongye shook his head and said, "Third brother, Yan Zi's academic performance... maybe she doesn't need my tutoring anymore."

"Oh? So, she is a good student?"

"No, no, Third Brother, you misunderstood."

Qi Tongfeng smiled awkwardly, "She keeps shouting about going to see her idol every day, it's strange that her grades are good. I heard that she didn't even reach the undergraduate line in the last joint entrance examination. I think she probably won't pass it."

Qi Tongwei was stunned. He was busy with work and really had no time to pay attention to the studies of these two sisters. He originally thought that they were both top students like him, but he didn't expect that they couldn't even get into college...

"Ah... no matter what, you should get more tutoring and try to get into college."

"Okay, Third Brother, I'll go now."

……

After staying in his hometown for a few days, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, it was time to go back to work. Despite his family's reluctance, Qi Tongwei drove back to Xinyue.

Grassroots work is sometimes tiring and sometimes easy. For ordinary people in 1997, it may not be that important.

Three months passed, then half a year, and the pipeline project was officially completed in April. At the completion ceremony, in addition to Li Dakang, Yi Xuexi also came. This was a bit strange, but Lin Taiping and others were very happy. They were busy receiving guests, regardless of the hard work, just to make the leader smile.

Qi Tongwei's mission has been completed. Now he just has to wait for the time to come. He will naturally take over from Lin Taiping and become the Party Secretary of Xinyue Town.

However, he was still somewhat looking forward to Lin Taiping and Sun Liancheng's arrangements.

If I am promoted to secretary, Lin Taiping will definitely be transferred. However, whether it will be a promotion or a lateral transfer is unknown. As for Sun Liancheng, there is a high probability that he will also be transferred. After all, he was the mayor before. If I become the secretary, he will become Qi Tongwei's subordinate, which is a taboo in officialdom and such arrangements are rarely made.

I was appointed deputy secretary of the Party Committee in early May 1996. At that time, the Provincial Party Committee had already issued the document, but it had not been officially reported yet.

According to this schedule, the county party committee is expected to make a decision regarding Xinyue’s personnel changes in November this year.
