265: To improve the people's sense of happiness

Lin Zifeng and the others waited anxiously outside the delivery room for over half an hour; to him, every minute felt like a year.

Every cry of pain from Chen Yuxi made Lin Zifeng incredibly nervous, fearing that something might go wrong with her.

Amidst Lin Zifeng's intense agony of waiting, a loud cry of a baby rang out from the delivery room.

Zhang Chunhua and Li Jing tightly gripped each other's hands and said excitedly at the same time, "The baby is born! Finally born!"

Lin Zifeng and the others breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously. A few minutes later, the door to the delivery room was opened from the inside.

An obstetrician and a nurse walked out. The nurse was holding a bundle in her arms, which contained a Little fellow who had just stopped crying.

The group hurried over. The doctor spoke, "Congratulations to the family. Ms. Chen Yuxi has given birth to a daughter naturally. She weighs seven catties and one tael. Both mother and daughter are safe."

"Thank you, Doctor," they all expressed their gratitude one after another.

Lin Zifeng carefully took the Little fellow from the nurse's arms. Seeing the wrinkled face and the Little fellow who hadn't opened its eyes yet, Lin Zifeng chuckled foolishly.

At this moment, he thought proudly to himself that he now had both a son and a daughter.

"Zifeng, let me hold my granddaughter. Yuxi should be coming out soon too."

Zhang Chunhua said as she reached out her hands.

Lin Zifeng nodded. Seeing Chen Yuxi being wheeled out, he handed the Little fellow into Zhang Chunhua's arms and went to Chen Yuxi's side.

Lin Zifeng stepped forward and tightly held Chen Yuxi's hand, saying excitedly, "Honey, you've worked hard. Thank you for giving birth to such a beautiful little princess for me."

"Hubby, the nurse showed me our daughter just now. She's all wrinkled and not pretty at all."

Chen Yuxi said weakly.

"My silly daughter! All newborns are like this. After a week, these wrinkles will disappear, and she will become more and more beautiful."

Li Jing said with an amused expression.

"Yuxi, Mom is right. It was the same when I gave birth to Haotian. Isn't Haotian good-looking now?"

Chen Yuqing said, grasping Chen Yuxi's other hand.

As they talked, they wheeled Chen Yuxi into the ward.

Since Chen Yuxi had a natural birth, she was only kept in the hospital for two days of observation before being discharged and returning to Chen Yuqing's residence.

Seeing that he had a new little sister, Chen Haotian was so happy that he would surround the crib whenever he had time, guarding the Little fellow in the crib like a precious treasure.

After some discussion, they named the Little fellow Lin Yining, with the nickname Ningning.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiahua left the Provincial Capital and returned to Yushu County on the day Chen Yuxi and her daughter were discharged.

Because they felt it was inconvenient to stay, and with Li Jing and her daughter taking care of Chen Yuxi, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help much anyway.

The two families had agreed that once Lin Yining was a bit older, Chen Yuxi would take the child back to Yushu County.

Lin Zifeng stayed for a full week before leaving the Provincial Capital with great reluctance.

After returning to Yushu County, Lin Zifeng continued to immerse himself in his work.

Not long after starting work one morning, Secretary Yu Le of Gangou Township entered the Office, led by Wang Zhongyu.

"Hello, Secretary. I'm here to report on our work."

"Have a seat, Secretary Yu. Let's sit down and talk."

Lin Zifeng pointed to the sofa and took a seat on the other side first.

"Secretary, I've come today to report on the seed cultivation and planting project.

This work in our Gangou Township has been fully launched. We've received strong support from the County Party Committee and County Government. Deputy County Mayor Zhang Linhua even invited experts in this field from the Provincial Capital to help guide us.

Our Gangou Township will soon see the results of this work.

Besides reporting on this work today, I would also like to invite you to take some time to inspect the work in Gangou Township."

Yu Le said with a face full of smiles.

Lin Zifeng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "While ensuring that all aspects of this work are done solidly, we must also do a good job with publicity.

Publicity work should include not only the soft power of media promotion but also the hard power of landmark buildings."

"Secretary, your instructions are very important. We have similar ideas and plan to build a Stone Archway at the entrance of our township's highway, with the four large characters 'Home of Seeds' written on it.

I hope the Secretary can personally provide the calligraphy for it when the time comes."

Yu Le said with a smile.

Lin Zifeng waved his hand and said, "Forget about the inscription, Secretary Yu. I'm not good at calligraphy."

Seeing Lin Zifeng's refusal, Yu Le continued to urge him, "Secretary, you mustn't decline. A landmark building with your personal signature will carry more weight.

I am asking you on behalf of the twenty thousand people of Gangou Township."

Hearing the other party put it that way, Lin Zifeng had no choice but to nod and agree.

More than half an hour later, Lin Zifeng saw Yu Le out of the Office. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Wang Zhongyu came out of the small Office next door.

"Secretary, according to your work schedule, you are to conduct a research visit to the County Education Bureau this morning. It's about time; we should head out.

Deputy County Mayor Zhao Yanbin, who is in charge of education, is already waiting for you downstairs."

Wang Zhongyu reported to him earnestly.

Lin Zifeng nodded and said, "Then let's go downstairs! We shouldn't keep them waiting."

After saying this, Lin Zifeng took the lead and headed downstairs, with Wang Zhongyu following closely behind with a briefcase.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than two months had gone by. All aspects of work in Yushu County were developing in an orderly and steady manner.

With the arrival of the May Day Golden Week, the Yingjianzui Scenic Area continued to be extremely popular, with tourist traffic increasing by more than twenty percent compared to before.

The seed cultivation and planting in Gangou Township were also progressing well. The development of the entire Yushu County could be described as changing with each passing day. The county's efforts achieved rapid economic growth while also bringing significant income to the local people.

There were more smiles on the faces of the people, and household and individual consumption had also increased, effectively promoting a healthy economic development.

According to statistics, over a thousand new catering businesses and nearly a hundred new hotels and inns have been added across various townships in the county.

Other corresponding derivative industries have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain, further promoting employment.

The number of migrant workers has decreased by twenty percent compared to previous years.

Hearing a series of figures coming from Xu Minghao, Lin Zifeng's face was filled with smiles.

He said with great satisfaction, "Mayor, all of our work concerns the vital interests of the people. Seeing the people live and work in peace and contentment is the driving force behind our work.

The people who choose to work elsewhere all want to bring a better life to their families.

If they could work near home and earn the same as they do elsewhere, who would be willing to leave their families and go to other places to work?

This is a very good start. Our next focus will be to provide more jobs for the people, so they can provide a prosperous life for their families locally and improve their sense of happiness."
