Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.
Chapter 537 The Taste of Home
Hao Qiang pondered for a moment, then looked out to sea and said slowly, "Let's talk about acquiring the dock after the New Year.
The New Year is approaching, so let’s celebrate it well.”
He turned around and asked, "Are you going back to your hometown for the New Year this year?"
Jiang Ying smiled and replied, "Of course I will. I haven't been back for two years. I'm going to fly back to Sucheng tomorrow and take my child back to visit. I'll also let him experience the New Year atmosphere in his hometown."
Jiang Ying is 40 years old this year. Her husband is from Suzhou. Her child is 13 years old and just started the first grade of junior high school.
Wang He heard this and said cheerfully, "I won't go back this year. The elderly and children are all here. I'll take them out for a walk during the New Year."
Hearing this, Jiang Ying asked with great interest, "Mr. Wang, where are you planning to travel?"
Wang He replied, "Let's just walk around the area. While the elderly can still walk, take them out more often.
I’m getting older, and my legs aren’t as agile as they used to be. If I don’t go out for a walk, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance again in the future.”
He finished speaking, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
Everyone nodded, feeling a little emotional. They were all forty years old, and the elderly in their families were generally in their sixties or seventies.
Unlike Hao Qiang, who is only 27 years old this year, his parents got married early and are only around 50 years old.
Hao Qiang nodded slightly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes: "Yes, the elderly are old, it is always good to spend more time with them."
Since the family's financial situation gradually improved, his parents often travel together and enjoy the comfortable life of middle-aged wealthy people.
However, in his previous life, Hao Qiang was unable to give his parents such a life.
At that time, his ability was limited. His parents had never set foot in the prosperous imperial capital, the dazzling magic city, or the bustling port city. They had also never experienced the fairyland of Jiuzhaigou, the steepness of Mount Hua, or the beauty of Mount Huangshan...
For them, those tourist attractions that they have never visited are like unattainable dreams.
At that time, even though he had the desire to take his parents out for a trip, he was always overwhelmed by the burden of reality.
The cost of a trip can easily reach thousands of yuan per person, which is a considerable expense for him.
Rural parents are even more reluctant and just want to save money to buy a house for their son to get married.
Therefore, Hao Qiang's parents seemed to be bound to that familiar land throughout their lives, working like slaves without a moment's rest.
For them, the only thing they can look forward to in a year is those few acres of sugarcane.
Young people who have not yet entered society always think that making money is an easy thing.
He often complains that the living expenses his parents give him are too little to satisfy his various desires.
However, it was only after entering society, especially after starting a family and building a career, that one truly realized the hardships of life.
Mortgages, car loans, children's education expenses...all these expenses are like invisible shackles that tightly bind middle-aged people.
It is not easy to give tens of thousands of yuan to parents throughout the year, and this may be the norm for most people.
Reality is always so cruel.
It will not give in to your dreams, nor will it change easily because of your efforts.
As everyone walked and talked, Hao Qiang sighed that they felt the same way.
Before they met Hao Qiang and joined Future Technology Group, their annual salary was at most a few hundred thousand yuan.
After joining Future Technology Group, with the rapid development of the company, their annual income increased rapidly, and they truly entered the wealthy class.
Of course, as senior leaders, they are definitely busier than ordinary employees. Work makes up the vast majority of their lives. If there are urgent matters to deal with, they have to get up in the middle of the night to deal with them.
I receive endless calls every day and have to work overtime on weekends to deal with them.
After walking around the dock for half an hour, everyone returned to the company cafeteria to attend the company's annual banquet.
The group has a large staff, and several canteens are open.
next morning
It was just dawn, the sky outside the window was a light blue-gray, and a few rays of light shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
Hao Qiang opened his eyes with a frown, his temples throbbing and his throat was dry as if it was stuffed with sand.
He sat up, rubbed his temples, and couldn't help cursing himself: "I really drank too much last night..."
Although his physique was very good, he couldn't withstand the subordinates taking turns to force him to drink a mixture of white wine, beer and red wine last night. In the end, even he himself couldn't remember how much he had drunk.
Looking back now, all that remains in my mind is the vague sound of clinking glasses and the repeated calls of "Chairman, I'll drink it, you can do as you please."
In fact, Hao Qiang could also drink boiled water to cope with it, but he wanted to test the limit of drinking given his strong physique.
Normally, he doesn't drink much.
Hao Qiang walked into the bathroom and rinsed his face with cold water. He felt much more energetic and grabbed a towel to wipe his face.
It was still early, just after five in the morning, and the house was quiet. My wife and children were still sleeping soundly.
Unable to sleep at this time, he went to the living room of the bedroom to drink tea to quench his thirst.
He leaned back on the sofa, slowly sipping the hot tea. The scalding liquid slid down his throat, finally relieving his burning thirst.
After a while, he leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Around eight o'clock, the house gradually became lively.
After breakfast, the family started packing.
"Dad, I want to take Oakman back."
The eldest daughter, Hao Yuxuan, deliberately dragged out the ending of her childish voice and pointed her little finger at the nearly two-meter-tall plush toy in the corner of the living room.
Hao Qiang took a look at the plush toy and rubbed his temple helplessly: “Baby, your Oakman is taller than your father, and it really can’t fit in the car.
We were only away for a few days and we were back soon.”
The eldest daughter pouted, rolled her eyes, and pointed at the half-human-high teddy bear on the sofa: "Then...then it's okay to bring the bear, right?"
"That's too big!" Hao Qiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Dad, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work. This one should be okay, right?" Hao Yuxuan pointed to the smaller plush toy.
Hao Qiang was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but pinch his eldest daughter's chubby cheeks and said, "Haha, you're only three years old and you're already playing tricks on your father."
"Dad, can I please?"
"Okay, okay."
Hao Qiang nodded helplessly. Most children of her age like plush toys.
After breakfast, the butler had already instructed the servants to stack the luggage neatly into the motorcade.
Twelve cars were lined up in front of the gate of the Hao Mansion, emitting a low-key and luxurious luster in the morning light.
Hao Qiang helped Han Qingying's grandmother into the MPV, and Han Qingying and Qiu Yuqing each took their children into the nanny car that followed closely behind.
More than 30 bodyguards in uniform quickly took their positions and dispersed to various vehicles in a well-trained manner.
As the motors of the new energy vehicles hummed, this magnificent convoy slowly drove out of the Hao Mansion Manor.
There are nearly a hundred bodyguards and nannies in the Hao Mansion. When Hao Qiang went home for the New Year, he gave most of the servants a holiday, leaving a few to guard the Hao Mansion, and the others followed Hao Qiang back to his hometown.
Ten minutes later, the convoy drove onto the highway.
Since the expressway to Guicheng was opened to traffic last year, it now only takes more than six hours to reach my hometown.
At noon, the convoy stopped at the service area for a short break and lunch.
Hao Qiang's motorcade was indeed too ostentatious, arousing the suspicion of countless people along the way.
It was Chinese New Year and there were many people in the service area. Hao Qiang wore a hat and a mask when he went to the toilet to avoid being recognized by passers-by.
At five o'clock in the afternoon,
The sun gradually set in the west, and the convoy drove into the territory of my hometown county.
Outside the window, endless jasmine fields sway in the breeze.
Jasmine flowers are not blooming this season.
In the distance, a few buffaloes were leisurely nibbling on the withered wild grass.
"Mom, what is that?"
Two-and-a-half-year-old Hao Yuxuan was lying on the car window, her little face pressed against the glass, her dark eyes full of curiosity.
They grew up in a city of steel and concrete and have never seen even the most common livestock.
Qiu Yuqing explained gently, "That's a water buffalo, used for plowing the fields."
"Oh, is there only one kind of beef we eat? Humans are so cruel."
"Mom, then what I eat is definitely not beef."
"Wow." Qiu Yuqing laughed.
In Guangdong and Guangxi, cattle are rarely raised, most of them are water buffaloes.
Most of the buffalo meat slaughtered in the market is from bulls, while cows are gentle and are kept for farming.
"Mom, why are the houses here so short?"
Hao Zimo, who was sitting on the other side of the back seat, asked curiously.
Qiu Yuqing briefly explained the reason to the children and also talked to them about the prices.
The family is not short of money, but Qiu Yuqing still wants her children to learn to spend money reasonably and know the prices of various commodities.
The setting sun gradually dyed the sky red, and the convoy continued along the winding county road.
Sitting in another car, Hao Qiang looked out the window at the familiar hilly contours and the eucalyptus forests covering the mountains.
After another forty or fifty minutes, the convoy finally entered Lujing Town.
“The town has changed a lot!”
Hao Qiang looked at the street outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
There are shops on both sides of the road, which has more than doubled in size compared to a few years ago.
Well, a few years ago, there were only two streets in the town, less than a kilometer long. Back then, there were only two small shops, but now there are several large supermarkets.
As an entrepreneur from his hometown, Hao Qiang has spared no effort in giving back to this land.
The two branches he invested in the industrial park in his hometown had a total output value of 70 billion yuan last year, creating thousands of jobs locally.
Under his leadership, more and more companies choose to settle here.
In recent years, there have been nearly 10,000 new migrant workers.
The number of Renjian Fireworks stores has reached 330, with revenue of approximately 113.5 billion yuan last year.
In order to ensure the supply of food for people on earth, the scale of the vegetable base in my hometown has been continuously expanded, and now it has reached 20,000 acres, of which more than 7,000 acres are dedicated to providing high-quality vegetables for people on earth.
Of course, there is not that much arable land in Hualong Village, only a few thousand acres.
With the surge in the number of foreign population, jobs with good salaries have become more profitable, and the pockets of the villagers have become fatter.
In recent years, more than 20 sashimi food stalls have sprung up in the town, and various service industries have flourished.
Sashimi is a local specialty and is frequently visited by city dwellers.
The most anticipated project is the Phase III lithium battery factory project that Hao Qiang is about to launch. This mega project, with an estimated annual output value of 100 billion yuan, will create 12,000 jobs and will surely inject stronger development momentum into the town.
The convoy drove slowly by, and the villagers saw the convoy with Guangdong B license plates, and they all looked at it and talked about it.
"Is the big boss back for the New Year?"
"That must be cousin Hao Qiang's return. He's got all these Yue B cars, and they're all future cars."
"Hao Qiang is back, Hualong Village is going to be lively again."
"I don't think I came back last year. Coming back means you still remember your hometown."
"Hao Qiang's parents often stay in Hualong Village, and they haven't moved to Pengcheng permanently."
"I heard that Hao Qiang lives in a super large villa, covering hundreds of acres."
"The richest man in the world, that's not normal."
The side windows were covered with anti-peep film, so people outside the window couldn't see the people in the back seat clearly. However, Hao Qiang saw many villagers shouting to him, "Cousin is back!"
