106: Take annual leave

Along the way, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiahua kept admonishing Lin Zifeng, fearing he might go down the wrong path.

Lin Zifeng was not annoyed by their preaching; he felt that having parents like this, who reminded and warned him at any time, allowing him to keep his guard up, was a very meaningful thing for him!

Thus, as the family of three talked, he drove the car into Miaoshan Town.

At the stalls in the town, they bought some meat and vegetables before setting off again, driving towards the village where his ancestral home was.

Ten minutes later, he drove the car into the village and soon arrived in front of Lin Zifeng's grandparents' house.

Seeing that the gate was wide open and the courtyard was clean, Lin Zifeng drove the car directly into the courtyard.

The old man and Old Madam heard the commotion and quickly walked out of the house.

After they got out of the car, Old Madam stretched out her hands to welcome Lin Zifeng. Lin Zifeng hurriedly went forward, bowed, and hugged his grandmother.

"I have been longing for this day, and finally, my Eldest Grandson has arrived. Let Grandma take a good look. Has my Eldest Grandson gained any weight?"

Old Madam stood up, cupped Lin Zifeng's face in her hands, her face beaming with smiles.

"Not gained weight, but you have grown much stronger and look even more handsome."

Old Madam examined him carefully and said.

"Grandma, your health is still as robust as ever. I have been craving the dumplings you make."

He said with a chuckle.

"Alright, alright, I will make them for you in a while. We will have dumplings for lunch."

Old Madam said as she pulled his hand and walked towards the room.

He looked at Lin Zhenqiang, called out "Grandpa," and was pulled into the room by Old Madam.

The old man followed behind him and said with a smile: "Eldest Grandson, we will let it slide today, but tomorrow morning, you must get up early. I want to see if you have neglected your Eight Extremities Fist."

"You old thing, Eldest Grandson just got back, and you are already bringing up that stuff of yours. I don't know what you are thinking."

Old Madam said, displeased.

"Grandma, Grandpa is also thinking of my well-being. Practicing Eight Extremities Fist can help me strengthen my body."

"Many of my colleagues get exhausted after a day of busy work."

"Only your grandson is in good health and doesn't take it to heart."

"This is all thanks to my grandfather teaching me Eight Extremities Fist since I was a child."

He hurriedly spoke up to defend his grandfather.

"Old woman, did you hear that? I taught him martial arts from a young age because I wanted what was best for Eldest Grandson."

"In my opinion, nothing is more important than health. With a good body, you have everything. The body is the greatest foundation for a person."

"If it weren't for your womanly kindness back then, blocking this and stopping that, Jiahua wouldn't look like such a weakling."

Hearing his Eldest Grandson speak up for him, Lin Zhenqiang triumphantly brought up the past.

Walking at the very back, Lin Jiahua couldn't help but think: Why is this being brought up again? Am I not catching strays here?

For the rest of the day, the five of them stayed at home chatting, except for when they were eating.

The next day, at the crack of dawn, Lin Zifeng and Lin Zhenqiang got up and walked into the courtyard one after the other.

Under Lin Zhenhua's watchful eye, Lin Zifeng performed a set of Eight Extremities Fist.

After finishing the set, Lin Zhenhua pointed out some shortcomings and guided him through each move.

It wasn't until Zhang Chunhua finished making breakfast and called them to eat that they wiped their sweat and walked towards the house.

"Eldest Grandson, I can see that you have been slacking off in the last few months. Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat!"

"You must not slack off anymore in the future."

"I will remember that, Grandpa. I have been too busy with work during this period, which is why I relaxed a bit. It won't happen again."

The grandfather and grandson talked as they walked into the room, and the whole family started eating breakfast.

During this vacation, Lin Zifeng was very relaxed. Every night, he would find time to go outside and secretly call Chen Yuxi to soothe his lovesickness.

Eight or nine days passed in a flash. On Monday morning, after breakfast, Lin Zifeng bade farewell to his family and drove towards Heping Town.

When he drove the car into the Town Government compound, it was exactly time for work. On the way to the Office, no matter who he met, they would respectfully greet him.

He nodded in response with a smile. When he arrived not far from the Office, Wang Zhongyu walked out from an Office to the side.

He greeted him first, then quickly opened the door to the Office, followed behind him, and walked into the Office together with him.

He made tea for him and stood to the side, waiting for his instructions.

"Zhongyu, notify the Office, we will hold a Party Committee Meeting at nine o'clock."

Wang Zhongyu agreed and left the Office.

At nine o'clock, the Party Committee Meeting started on time. Wei Ting spoke first, reporting on the work of the past ten days.

"Secretary, the packaging factory has already started production. They didn't provide many job positions, but they still recruited fifty workers from nearby villages."

"The electric vehicle factory will also be able to start production in another half a month."

"We are currently in the process of recruiting workers. We expect to recruit 150 workers in the first batch, and will recruit more as appropriate in the future."

"Villagers from various villages are scrambling to sign up."

These two factories were both directly managed by Wei Ting, so she stopped after reporting this.

Lin Zifeng nodded and said: "Regarding the factory recruitment work, not only must we send Cadres to the site to assist, but we must also let the village Cadres from each village go to the site to supervise."

"There will be those who are hired, and those who are eliminated. Those who are eliminated will inevitably harbor resentment and become dissatisfied."

"We must absolutely not let the eliminated villagers have conflicts with the factory, as that would affect the long-term cooperation between both parties."

Wei Ting nodded in agreement and recorded his arrangements in her notebook.

He looked at Zhang Zhenhua again, and Zhang Zhenhua reported: "Secretary, the Multifunctional Hotel is currently under continuous construction. I have Cadres I sent to the site supervising the safety of the construction."

"I will also find time to go to the site to check on the construction progress."

He nodded with satisfaction and looked at Cao Shuang.

"Secretary, in another half a month, the peaches in the peach orchard will begin to ripen one after another."

"After consultations with the food factory, the purchase price per catty of peaches has been set at 1.2 yuan. The food processing factory will accept all the peaches, regardless of quantity, and store them in cold storage first."

"I also visited the fruit farmers, and they are very satisfied with this price."

"Many fruit farmers even indicated that they want to plant more peach trees next spring!"

After Cao Shuang finished reporting, Jiang Yufei, who is in charge of the scenic area, reported on the construction progress of the scenic area.

Lin Zifeng heard that there are now dozens to hundreds of tourists going to the scenic area to play for free every day, and he was very happy.

Although there aren't many tourists, the scenic area hasn't been completed, and it is currently free to visit with no income, this is a very good sign, so how could he not be happy?

Finally, Lin Zifeng made some work arrangements before adjourning the meeting.
