Chapter 206 Thermal Power Plant Foundation Laying
Gao Weizhe returned to Chen's house with the newly bought clothes. Qian Baogui was washing clothes. Qian's father called out, "Gao Weizhe, do you need any clothes washed? Let Brother Qian Baogui wash them for you."
Every weekend when Qian Baogui returned to the Chen Mansion, he would first wash his own and his grandfather's clothes, then clean the bedroom, and then help his grandfather clean the yard. He also often went to the kitchen to help the housekeeper Qin Yue'e pick vegetables and wash dishes. He used his free time to read and study.
After Qian Baogui learned about Gao Weizhe's situation, he took the initiative to come over to say hello and ask if there was anything he needed help with, such as cleaning the room or any study problems.
"Gao Weizhe, you and I are both poor teenagers living in the Chen Mansion, supported by Aunt Yizhen and Uncle Yuanhui. We are different from Junhua and Yongjun, so we can't compare ourselves to them.
We can only study hard with a grateful heart, earn our own living when we grow up, and help others like Aunt Yizhen. Did you know that Ming Zhigang and his brother Ming Zhiqiang were also sponsored by Aunt Yizhen to go to school, as well as Li Hongmei's two cousins... "Qian Baogui said with deep emotion.
Qian Yizhen received a call from her cousin Chen Mengwei: "Han Shiyan gave birth to a baby girl, both mother and daughter are safe. Three days later, her father Chen Haoyu, her brother Chen Jinting, and her housekeeper Li Xiaoquan flew from Hong Kong to the provincial capital and returned to the Chen Mansion."
"Congratulations to my cousin on becoming a grandmother. I will tell the relatives in the Chen family the good news right away..." Qian Yizheng said happily.
After finishing the call with his cousin Chen Mengwei, Qian Yizhen immediately called his grandmother Chen Yalu: "Grandma, Han Shiyan gave birth to a girl. Uncle Chen Haoyu and cousin Chen Jinting will return to the Chen Mansion in three days."
After finishing the call with grandma Chen Yalu, Qian Yizhen immediately called Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin: "Taoist Priest Yuan, hello, are you free now? I want to invite you to go to the hillside where the power plant is planned to be built, and take a walk and chat together."
After finishing the call with Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin, Qian Yizhen immediately called Professor Jiang Yuhan: "Professor Jiang, come downstairs now. Let's go for a walk on the hillside where the power plant is planned to be built, breathe some fresh air, and stretch our muscles."
Qian Yizhen, Professor Jiang Yuhan, and Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin once again came to the hillside where the thermal power plant was planned to be built. In the blink of an eye, the grass on the hillside had begun to sprout green shoots.
"In the third month of the lunar calendar, these three days are all good, you can choose any one of them." Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin handed the selected auspicious day and auspicious talisman to Qian Yizheng.
Professor Jiang Yuhan was surprised to find that there were many wild chrysanthemum buds on the hillside, and he couldn't help but start to dig them up: "Yizhen, do you know? I met Wang Hengxiu when I was digging wild chrysanthemum buds in the mountains when I went to the countryside. He told me a lot about the benefits of eating wild chrysanthemum buds. It's been almost forty years, and things have really changed."
Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin skillfully dug wild chrysanthemum buds while saying, "You two, these wild chrysanthemum buds were our lifesavers in the past when there was a shortage of food. I used to take Niuniu to the mountains near the ancient Taoist temple to dig wild chrysanthemum buds to fill our stomachs."
Secretary Zhang Chuanren led a group of people to the hillside and began to arrange the site for the groundbreaking ceremony of the thermal power plant, leveling the ground, widening temporary roads, building a rostrum, etc.
Qian Yizhen, Professor Jiang Yuhan, and Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin were picking wild chrysanthemum buds while strolling on the hillside. When they saw the large brick factory land of Li Dazhuang's family in the distance, Professor Jiang Yuhan said with emotion: "Yizhen, it would be great if this brick factory land could be turned into a textile university. Then we can train our own textile talents according to our needs."
Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin echoed, "It's a Feng Shui treasure land. It's a pity to build a brick factory there."
"Professor Jiang, do you really want to turn this place into a textile university? This is easy. You will go back to your unit, the Provincial Textile University, and persuade the school leaders to build a branch of the Provincial Textile University in Daoguan Township. I will persuade the leaders of the Pingzhou County Party Committee and County Government to grant this brick factory land to the Provincial Textile University. The branch will be funded by the Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd. How do you do it?"
"If that's the case, that would be great. Yizhen, when do we start?" Professor Jiang Yuhan said excitedly.
"Professor Jiang, aren't we going to deliver an invitation letter to the secretary and county magistrate of the Pingzhou County Party Committee and County Government for the groundbreaking ceremony of the thermal power plant? How about we give it a try first?" Qian Yizhen said.
"Okay, this is a good idea. Think about backing up the generous gift, hahaha." Professor Jiang Yuhan said.
When grandma Chen Yalu received the news that great-uncle Chen Haoyu was returning to the Chen Mansion, she immediately got busy and led the housekeepers to carefully clean great-uncle Chen Haoyu's bedroom, study, cousin Chen Jinting's bedroom, and housekeeper Li Xiaoquan's bedroom. They washed and dried all the bedding, sheets, clothes, shoes and hats.
Dad Qian was responsible for pruning, arranging, fertilizing and watering the indoor green potted plants one by one. Everyone in the Chen family worked together to clean the courtyard, tidy up the indoor and outdoor areas, and personal hygiene, welcoming Uncle Chen Haoyu back to the Chen family with a brand new spirit.
Ming Yuanhui opened the car door, and his cousin Chen Jinting helped his great uncle Chen Haoyu get out of the car. Qian Yizheng handed the crutches to his great uncle Chen Haoyu. His great uncle Chen Haoyu took the crutches, tapped the ground lightly, and walked towards everyone with brisk steps.
Grandpa Lu Kaipu, grandma Chen Yalu, grandma Lu Jingde, sister-in-law Hao Xia, grandpa Kuang, and grandma Huang had been waiting in the yard for a long time. After everyone greeted and talked with a smile, they came to the living room.
"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you so much. Tonight we old guys are having a dinner together to welcome you and celebrate the recovery of your legs' ability to walk. I hope you will do me the honor of coming." Grandma Lu Jingde said.
"Of course, of course, thank you. In my heart, no matter how good Hong Kong is, it is not as good as my hometown, the Chen Mansion. Let's drink and smile together tonight and enjoy our old age, hahaha." Great uncle Chen Haoyu said with a smile on his face.
.....
At the groundbreaking ceremony for the thermal power plant, there were drums and gongs, colorful flags flying, various large construction vehicles lined up, propaganda slogans hung along the road, and the rostrum was crowded with people, creating a lively scene.
Professor Qian Yizhen and Professor Jiang Yuhan stood at the intersection to welcome the guests. Secretary Zhang Chuanren, Deputy Director of Administration Zhang Zhixin and the staff of the Administration Department were responsible for leading the guests to their designated seats.
Pingzhou County Party Committee Secretary Zhao Yong, County Mayor Meng Xiangjie, Daoguan Township Party Committee Secretary Zhao Lailong, and Township Mayor Gao Wangcai, were dressed in Zhongshan suits, while my great uncle Chen Haoyu and cousin Chen Jinting, dressed in suits and ties, sat in the first row under the chairman.
The construction company that won the bid for the thermal power plant, Daewoo Construction Group Project Manager Li Changchun, Hongwei Construction Group Chairman Wang Hengxiu, and leaders of the supervision company, planning and design company, etc. took their seats on the rostrum one after another.
Special guest Chairman Yang Zhongbang and power expert Song Jiakang, who was in charge of the construction of the thermal power plant, sat on the rostrum.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the groundbreaking ceremony of the thermal power plant officially began.
Qian Yizhen walked up to the podium, bowed to all the guests on the podium, then turned around and bowed to all the guests below the podium.
Qian Yizhen adjusted his posture, pulled himself together, and began to speak into the microphone: "Dear leaders, guests, and colleagues: Good morning, everyone!
On this sunny and hopeful day, we gather together to witness this exciting moment as the thermal power plant belonging to Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd. officially starts construction.
