Xu Nannan really wanted to find out about this, but Old Antique seemed to avoid this topic on purpose. Xu Nannan had no choice but to not ask, she felt that one day she would know.
The Spring Festival of 1978 came unknowingly. Because of the reform and opening up, even the Chinese New Year has become much more lively.
After a lively Spring Festival at home, Xu Nannan began to think about her plans for the new year.
What Lin Qingbai meant was to tell her not to worry, the higher-ups would definitely give an answer. If there is no response from above, Xu Nannan can act on his own after the spring begins. As for the candidates to go abroad, He Qiusheng can also find suitable people here.
He Qiusheng has a lot of students, and many of them are engaged in foreign language work. They are good at foreign languages, so it is definitely no problem to go abroad. When the time comes to attract investment, Xu Nannan will make arrangements in China, and these people can go abroad to find investment.
Because of busy work, Xu Nannan doesn't have much time to take care of the children.
Both Dabao and Erbao are almost eleven years old. They are tall and look like big boys. Knowing that mother is busy with big things, the two children are also better behaved than before. Even Sanbao, who was in elementary school, stopped pestering Xu Nannan and ran to another family in the compound all day long. It is said that the family has a little granddaughter named Dandan who is very cute. Xu Nannan couldn't figure out the inner world of the children, but she was very grateful to the third child for supporting her so much.
Xu Nannan felt that with the full support of her husband and children, she felt that she could be a female warrior. No matter any difficulty, she can overcome it.
Years later, Xu Nannan didn't go to work, and spent all day writing plans in the study, and then sorting out the materials that Old Antique had given her.
On the other hand, she also asked Wei Xiaodong to continue collecting antiques. After all, these light industry materials are for her own use, and she cannot use national ones.
After Xu Nannan prepared to implement the above policies, she went to the south for field inspection. As a result, the above policy did not come down, but waited for the notice from above, and went to the south with the delegation.
The person in charge secretly revealed to her, "The higher-ups are now focusing on that area. If you want to do those things, that place is the most suitable."
Although the reform and opening up have been implemented, the domestic concept is still stuck in the past. Xu Nannan's plans, except for the southern part, are really easy to cause a stir.
Without saying a word, Xu Nannan packed up some clothes and followed the inspection team into the car.
As a big city in China, Xu Nannan had also stayed in Shenzhen and Guangzhou before, especially in Shenzhen, where she stayed for many years. How prosperous this place will be in the future, how backward it is now.
The coastal area is full of fishing villages, and there is not even an easy road to walk. Over the years, people have been going to Hong Kong from here, and there are not many local people.
Looking at this place, Xu Nannan couldn't believe that this place turned out to be the future Shenzhen City. How many hands are needed to create a grand occasion in the future.
Once again, I feel the greatness of the Chinese people.
The delegation stayed in this place for a week, and then went to the coastal cities around Guangzhou City. Xu Nannan followed along without saying much. Anyway, just see for yourself.
When the inspection team went back, she also went back with them.
It's been almost a month since we set off and went home. Xu Nannan also took some notes and drew some pictures, and then went home to sort them out.
After this trip, on-the-spot investigation, and some suggestions from those professionals, Xu Nannan felt that she really benefited a lot this time, and had a deeper idea about her plan.
While Xu Nannan was working hard inside, the children crowded at the door of the study and peeked in secretly. Did not dare to make a sound.
Dad said, mom is doing a big thing. In the future, jobs will be provided for many people, and many children like them will be able to wear new clothes and eat delicious food. You can't disturb your mother's work.
When Xu Nannan finished his work and just put down his pen, the three children pushed the door open, and Dabao came in with tea. "Mom, drink tea."
Er Bao held a small cake, "Mom, eat."
Sanbao walked over and gently rubbed Xu Nannan's shoulders, "Mom, is it comfortable?"
Xu Nannan suddenly found that he only went out every month, and the children were so caring. Just like the little padded jacket she once imagined.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Er Bao asked curiously.
Sanbao said, "Dad is busy, and mom is also busy."
Dabao said, "Father is defending the country. The uncles said that there is a dishonest guy next door to us. They have to beat those guys to the ground."
Xu Nannan touched the heads of the three children. "No matter what parents do, they are doing what they can do. When you grow up, you should also remember that you have to bear as much responsibility as you have ability. Don't go astray. Be a right person. The country, people who are useful to society. Otherwise, your father and I would have raised you little bastards for nothing."
What she fears most is that children will learn to be bad. There are so many temptations in the future, when the children grow up, if they grow crooked, she will cry to death.
"Mom, I'm going to join the army. I'll defend my home and country. I'll fight those dishonest guys." Dabao straightened his waist and said.
Erbao's eyes lit up and said, "I want to learn from Uncle Er and do scientific research. In the future, I will invent something that can fly. Mom can go anywhere by sitting, so I don't have to work so hard in a car."
"Isn't that just an airplane?" Dabao said.
"That's a good plane too." Erbao insisted.
Sanbao pointed at his finger, "What should I do if I don't know how to do anything?" He doesn't like fighting, and he isn't the best at studying.
Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Our Three Treasures are not in a hurry, we can do whatever we want in the future, as long as it is not a bad thing, we can do whatever we like."
In March, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was born.
Xu Nannan was busy with site selection and attracting foreign investment.
In the end, the higher authorities still gave Xu Nannan some support, such as taking care of land and policies. With the land and technology, and the few students He Qiusheng sought to contact abroad, foreign capital came to the country for inspection one after another.
In order to facilitate work, Xu Nannan stayed in Shenzhen City for more than half a year. Xu Nannan returned to the capital when the foundation of the industrial zone started to be laid. When I got home, Grandma Yu almost cried.
Xu Nannan used to have a round, oval face, but he lost a lot of weight when he came back, and his eye sockets were sunken.
"You said what you are busy with every day. I really don't know what you young people are thinking." The old lady was getting old and couldn't cook anymore, so she asked the nanny to order chicken soup for Xu Nannan.
At noon, Lin Qingbai also rushed back from the military area. Looking at Xu Nannan's appearance, he hugged Xu Nannan tightly for a while without saying a word.
"I really don't want you to do these things." Lin Qingbai's voice was hoarse.
Xu Nannan leaned in his arms and said with a smile, "I don't think it's hard work. Do you know that people's potential is really infinitely stimulated. I used to think that I couldn't do anything, but the more I explored, the more I discovered that I could actually Doing a lot of things. It's amazing to watch that barren land slowly being built up. I'm glad I was one of the people who built that land.”
She looked up at Lin Qingbai, "Whenever you have time, you should go and see it. This is a precious memory."
Lin Qingbai kissed her eyes.
The two have been married for many years and can be regarded as an old couple. But in his eyes, the little woman in front of him is still his little girl. But this little girl is doing big things.
With the development of the south, the wave of reform and opening up began to affect the whole country.
Some bold and far-sighted common people also began to look to the south.
Xu Nannan had only rested at home for more than a month, and Xu Ling also came from Nanjiang.
This little girl has grown into a big girl now, with short hair and a slender body. She is somewhat similar to Xu Nannan, but she has inherited a bit of Xu Jiansheng's heroic beauty.
When she came home, knowing that her brother-in-law Lin Qingbai was not at home, Xu Ling started to play crazy. Taking the three children out to play, "Go out, my aunt is rich now. You can eat whatever you want, you are welcome."
When the three children heard this, their eyes lit up. Although there is no shortage of food and clothing at home, Xu Nannan seldom lets them buy things outside, saying that it is to prevent them from developing the habit of spending money recklessly.
But which child doesn't want to be able to go shopping in the mall
Xu Nannan said, "Don't spoil them."
"Sister, why are my eldest nephews spoiled? Let me tell you, all the children outside are like this now. In our place in Nanjiang, those who have a little money start to spoil the children. What are the clothes bought in the south? , Shoes, watches, you can buy them with great enthusiasm. Look at my nephews, I feel sorry for them. If other people have them, our family must have them. "
The three children hugged her emotionally.
So the children were taken out for a wave, and when they came back, they had big bags and small bags.
Xu Nannan found that there were so many things to buy, and frowned, "How can you spend money recklessly, you have to work hard every month to get your salary. Save money."
"Sister, I don't get paid now, I resign." Xu Ling waved her hand.
Xu Nannan was surprised, "Why didn't you tell me when it happened. Didn't you do a good job in the mine?"
"What's the matter, that small place, it's boring for me to stay. Even if I become the chairman of the labor union, the salary is not high. I have been working for a few days and I feel boring. Didn't the policy come down? I thought about it all night, so I resigned. I did it. Then I ran around the south with the salary I saved before. Sister, you don’t know, there are a lot of foreign goods over there, and I don’t need foreign exchange certificates. I got a few electronic watches and came back and made a small profit. A sum. It’s more than my salary. I ran away twice. This time I came to the capital to say hello to you, and I have to go to work later.”
Hearing that Xu Ling had also gone to the south, Xu Nannan was surprised, "You also went to the south? Alone? You are too courageous."
It is too big for a child to go to the South. Then I remembered that this child was going to be a red soldier before he was ten years old, but his heart was quite big.
"Sister, let me tell you that this person has to be brave, otherwise we can only eat soup when others eat meat. I think it's pretty good. I'm still planning to make more money and buy a big house in our Nanjiang .I won’t live in the future, let Dad live.”
Speaking of Xu Jiansheng, Xu Ling sighed, "Although I used to hate him, but now I see him getting older day by day, and I feel sorry for him."
Xu Nannan also felt a little complicated. In fact, she has no complaints about Xu Jiansheng these years. She is not the real Xu Nannan herself, so she has no right to blame anyone. He was also dissatisfied with Xu Jiansheng before. But after Xu Jiansheng protected her and worked hard for her and Wu Jian, she felt relieved. Although during the New Year's Eve, Xu Jiansheng would be given some food and clothing. But she couldn't recognize Jiansheng as a father again. After all, the real Xu Nannan is dead. Only she knows that some things cannot be undone.
Seeing that Xu Nannan didn't say much, Xu Ling smiled and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Dad, don't worry about it. With me, at least he has raised me all these years."
Because of Xu Ling's arrival, Xiaoman also came back from school, and even Li Wan came over.
Li Wan came here specially to ask about the situation of the two elders of the Li family. After Lin Changzheng returned to his original position, he was ready to pick up the two elders. But the two elders are old and have lived in their hometown for more than ten years, and they are already very stable, and they don't want to go back and make troubles. So I rejected Lin Changzheng's side and lived with Xu Jiansheng.
Lin Changzheng and the others also send back living expenses every month.
"Well, I can eat and sleep." Xu Ling smiled, "When I have nothing to do, I will go back to my hometown in the village to live for a few days and chat with those fellow villagers. I am not happy to let them take the car, so I walk to and back by myself."
"He's in his seventies, and he's still tossing around like this." Li Wan laughed.
Lin Changzheng said, "Let them toss, and they will have to toss when they get older. The more toss, the more energetic. You let them relax, and their spirit is not good enough."
Li Wan didn't think too much, and asked Xu Ling to help bring some things back when she went back. I don't know how many years I can be filial to an old man.
