When Zhou Yang came out of the research institute, he saw a jeep parked at the gate.

Seeing Zhou Yang coming out, Li Changqing walked out of the car directly, and then said with a smile: "Oh, it's getting harder and harder to see your kid now, and you have to be notified!"

Zhou Yang smiled and said: "There is no way, this place really does not allow others to enter!"

"No need to explain, it's an important military area, I understand!" Li Changqing said.

With the arrival of a large number of security forces and the constant coming and going of military vehicles, it is not just the Yunshan County government that now knows that there is a military research base in Babaoliang Village.

Even the people in the village know that the yard on the west slope is not an ordinary laboratory.

However, the ideological consciousness of the members of the commune these days is very high, and they absolutely do not ask questions that should not be asked. Even the people in the Li family's old house have not asked Zhou Yang about things in Xipo.

Zhou Yang did not struggle with this matter, but asked with a smile: "Why do you want to come to my place today?"

"I want to talk to you about something, am I not disturbing you?"

"Fortunately, I just finished my work!" Zhou Yang said.

"Then let's go sit down at your brigade headquarters?" Li Changqing said.

"Forget it about the brigade headquarters, go to my house!"

"Is it convenient to go to your house?"

"What's the inconvenience? Besides, I haven't been home for several days, and I want to go back early to see my wife and baby!" Zhou Yang said.

"You're so busy that you don't even have time to go home?" Li Changqing asked in surprise.

"Fortunately, it's only for these few days!"

"That's not bad!"

Afterwards, everyone got into Li Changqing's jeep and drove towards the Zhou family's new house.

In the Zhou family, Li Youwei is reading a book in the house, while the two little guys are sleeping soundly in the hanging basket.

Since many educated youth members came to her home for advice after work every day during this period, Li Youwei had to seize the time to improve her skills.

After all, everyone took the time to come to her house to ask her for advice. If she didn't know how to do it, it would be embarrassing and a waste of other people's time.

Therefore, during this period, Li Youwei worked harder than before.

And while she was studying the study notes left by her uncle Zhou Ping, she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine outside.

I looked up and saw a car parked in front of my house.

Although I don’t know who it is, it should be to find my man.

At that moment, Li Youwei immediately put on her shoes and went out to prepare for the reception.

Just as he left the house, he saw Zhou Yang, Li Changqing, Liu Yunlong and others walking in from the outside.

After seeing Zhou Yang, Li Youwei felt particularly happy. She had not seen him for five or six days.

Several people came to the gate, and before Li Youwei could say anything, they heard Li Changqing say: "Brothers and sisters, do you have a well at home to draw cold water?"

"have..."

"Then give this thing to the town and cut him up in a while!"

Only then did Li Youwei notice that Li Changqing was holding a large black watermelon in his hand.

Good guy, looking at that head, I think it weighs more than twenty kilograms.

"this..."

Li Youwei hesitated a little, then looked at Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang knew what his wife-in-law meant. It wasn't that she was lazy and didn't want to freeze this big watermelon.

But this thing was too expensive, and she didn't dare to touch it.

"Listen to Lao Li and calm down!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"OK!"

After speaking, Li Youwei took the big watermelon from Li Changqing's hand, put the watermelon into the bamboo basket, and walked to the well in the yard.

There is no refrigerator now, so if you want to eat iced watermelon, you can only tie a basket with a rope and sink it into a deep well to cool it.

"Old Li, I've cost you money again!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Fortunately, Xiaojingzi Commune has a good harvest of watermelons. They sent a batch to the county government, and I divided two of them!" Li Changqing said.

Although Li Changqing meant to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, Zhou Yang was still a little grateful.

Watermelon looks ordinary, but people in later generations often ate half of it and threw away the other half.

But right now, this is definitely a luxury item that most people cannot afford, and it can directly compete with durians, cherries and other high-priced fruits in later generations.

City people can buy food with tickets, and a large family cannot get a piece of watermelon all year round.

In rural areas, unless there are melon fields in your village, you may not be able to eat watermelons for three to two years.

Of course, in addition to the share in this plan, there is another way to eat watermelon - fever!

According to regulations, patients with fevers exceeding 38.5 degrees can go to the store to "take care" of them and buy a piece of watermelon based on their medical records from the hospital.

After you finish buying, the supply and marketing cooperative will stamp a stamp on your medical record - "Watermelon has been purchased."

The harvest in Babaoliang Village has not been very good in recent years, so it has always been "grain-oriented", seeking food and clothing first, and the main crops grown in the fields are grain.

As for fruits, there are basically none, especially watermelons, a luxury product that requires frequent watering, and even less so in the village.

So neither Li Youwei nor Zhou Yang has eaten watermelon for a long time.

To be honest, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy this thing.

When he came to the house, Zhou Yang first poured a glass of water for each of Li Changqing and his secretary Xiao Guo, then climbed onto the kang and looked at the big and small babies in the hanging basket.

The two little guys were sleeping soundly, and their little hands were in a "surrender" posture. Their cute appearance made Zhou Yang's heart almost melt.

Li Changqing also came over to take a look, and couldn't help but admire: "What a handsome boy, what a president, he has combined all the advantages of you and your siblings into one!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang felt so relieved, which was even happier than praising him directly.

"By the way, Lao Li, you said you had something to say, what is it?"

"Let me talk about the first thing first, I mentioned it!" Li Changqing said.

"Promoted?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.

"Um!"

"What's your promotion, Director?"

"Yes, director, top leader!" Li Changqing said.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang was really surprised.

Although An Bangguo had disclosed this matter to him before, Zhou Yang felt that even if Director Hu and Li Changqing were promoted, it would only be two years later.

After all, Director Hu has been the top leader of Yunshan County for less than a year, and Li Changqing has been promoted to the first deputy director in even less time.

He was promoted from the position of water conservancy director in September last year, and was promoted to first deputy director in April this year.

If you include this promotion, he was promoted three times in less than a year and a half. The speed of promotion is really amazing.

"What about Director Hu?"

"I have been appointed as the head of the Propaganda Department of the Prefectural Committee, and my rank has been raised one level!"

"That's really congratulations to you!" Zhou Yang said happily.

"Haha, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for your plan, the two of us would have to at least finish this term if we wanted to be promoted!" Li Changqing said.

"Old Li, if you're here to come here, there's no need to..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Changqing said: "No, I just want to tell you that the main reason I came here today is to talk to you about the accessories factory and the machinery factory!"

"What's wrong?"

"Two days ago, we received an order from above, asking the county to hand over this factory to the 888 Factory. When we first received the order, we were still wondering where the 888 Factory came from, but it turned out to be

You guys are here!" Li Changqing said with a wry smile.

“What does county mean?”

"As you know, there are no big companies in our county. This accessory factory and machinery factory are relatively large factories, so both the prefectural committee and the county have opinions on this matter!"

Then Li Changqing immediately explained: "We will definitely implement the orders from above, but the county hopes that you will not fire employees casually after taking over these two factories!"

"In addition, I hope you will try not to stop work and production. After all, the accessory factory and the machinery factory are related to the production and life of hundreds of thousands of people in the county. Especially since the autumn harvest will be in a month, the demand for sickles, agricultural machinery parts and so on will definitely increase.

It’s huge!”

Zhou Yang nodded and said: "These requirements are very reasonable, I agree!"

"That's good..."

Before Li Changqing could finish speaking, Zhou Yang said again: "Old Li, I know that moving these two factories from the county to our side at once has hurt the county's vitality."

"Let's do this. I'll compensate a factory in the county with an annual output value of hundreds of millions. What do you think?"

As soon as he said this, the water bowl in Li Changqing's hand became unstable and fell directly to the ground...
