Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Feng Jiachong\'s New Rural Planning
Feng Zhenchang came to pick Feng Yiping up from school and, seeing the car he now drives, couldn\'t help but stare. However, the consensus between father and son was that it was \'too dainty\'.
Mei Qiuping didn\'t have to worry about lunch. There was already prepared beef and potato stew in the kitchen, and a carp with prepared seasoning in the steamer. It only needed to be steamed and then drizzled with pepper oil. A handful of spinach, washed clean, blanched and then stir-fried, and a small pan of fried tofu, all the ingredients were ready.
Huang Jingping had prepared all this in the morning at home. Feng Yiping of course told his mother, \'I knew you were coming, so I got started early.\'
Even his eldest uncle praised him, \'Yiping, your cooking skills have improved over the years, as has your filial piety!\' The last time he had a meal cooked by Feng Yiping was when Feng Yiping rented a house in the countryside.
Feng Zhanchang was also very happy to see his son\'s preparations and said with a smile, \'These are trivial matters. The key is to do well in your studies.\'
Really, sometimes it\'s really hard to have a pleasant chat with your father, and it seems like it\'s his duty to pour cold water on you when you\'re in the middle of something.
Mei Qiuping wanted the chef to cook, but Feng Yiping pushed her aside and said, \'Mom, I\'m all ready, just wait and you\'ll see, I\'ll cook this meal.\'
In fact, it had been a few years since he had cooked a complete meal for his parents, and if he went to the capital in the second half of the year, he would have even fewer opportunities in the next four years.
\'In the afternoon, I\'ll have Ding Qiang pick you up, you can go to the factory for a tour, and then the driver can take you to Jiangxinzhou Park for a stroll. Is that okay?\'
Feng Zhenchang had never been to the metal products factory before, but since he was going there anyway, it was a good opportunity to visit the thirty or so workers from the village.
Since the people from the village started working at the factory, Feng Yiping had not eaten with Huang Jingping in the factory canteen, but this could not be kept a secret. The hundreds of workers at the factory knew about it.
So he made a special trip yesterday and told Feng Wen to tell everyone to keep it a secret when they saw Feng Zhenchang. The reason was simple: he was still in high school, and if his parents knew he was dating, they would never forgive him.
\'Guosheng, what do you think?\'
\'Very good!\'
In the afternoon, Feng Zhenchang and the others stayed at the factory longer than planned. Ding Qiang received them with more care than he had received Feng Yiping, personally accompanying them throughout the entire time and introducing them to him at every stop. Talking about the dozens of workers in the factory, Ding Qiang could not stop praising them, saying, \'They are the most hardworking and proactive workers I have ever met.\' This made them all feel very honoured.
For this reason, Feng Zhenchang also spoke with everyone in the factory, encouraging them a little. Given his generation, status and age, he was more suitable than Feng Yiping to do such things.
After school in the afternoon, Huang Jingping, who was a little listless, walked to the school gate. She saw a lot of people pointing at the rare convertible, and happily ran over, \'Why are you here?\'
\'I\'ll take you to the hotel first, and then we\'ll eat dinner at home together.\' Feng Yiping always felt bad that she had to hide like this.
\'No, just come over and keep me company after self-study class tonight,\' Huang Jingping understood what he was thinking, \'were you satisfied with the food I prepared for lunch?\'
\'Of course they were satisfied, but they were just praising me.\'
\'Praising you is the same as praising me,\' Huang Jingping said with a smile.
However, they didn\'t get to spend much time together in the evening either. Feng Yiping stayed in the hotel with Huang Jingping and watched TV for half an hour, and Huang Jingping took the initiative to let him go home early, saying, \'Go home early, your parents are waiting!\'
They spent a long time chatting with their parents that evening.
Because there was sufficient funding, the survey and planning and design of the village proceeded quickly, and the final renderings were full of praise from everyone who saw them.
A public service area was planned around the village office and the village primary school, including a health centre and a village activity room. There are also plans to build a new kindergarten and a small farmers\' market in the future.
The planned industrial area is in the middle of several village plots, on the site of the former tile kiln. With some reorganisation, it will not take up any farmland, and there will be about ten mu of land, which is enough to build the several agricultural product processing plants that Feng Yiping plans.
The design institute has also come up with several options for the buildings the villagers want to build. They are completely different from the square ones everyone has in mind. Like some villas in the city, they are chic in appearance, with a small courtyard in front and back, and parking spaces, pigsties and chicken coops, including dog kennels, are all reserved.
Every plot of land where a new house is to be built has also been planned. For example, the Feng Yiping family\'s plot, where new houses will be built in the near future, has been planned to the top of the hill in front of the plot, with each family building up the hill. There are at least 30 or so planned, with unified planning for driveways, sewers and ditches. If built, it will be no different from the villas in the city.
Their old houses still had to be demolished piece by piece and re-planned. Later, when the buildings were rebuilt, they were built on their original sites according to the plan. In short, after three or five years, when everyone in the village had built a building, the village would change drastically, from a dirty and backward rural area to a tidy and modern new rural area made up of fashionable villas.
With the village\'s large soapberry tree and two ponds at its centre, large areas of public land have been set aside, which are usually used as leisure areas, and during busy farming seasons, as threshing grounds.
\'Do all the people in the village agree?\' Such changes are certainly good, but Feng Yiping doesn\'t believe there will be no resistance.
\'In the past, no one would have even considered such a thing, and no one would have supported it, but things are different now,\' Feng Zhenchang said, beaming.
\'Yes, your fourth uncle is doing a good job now, especially since the two of us returned to the village,\' said Mei Qiuping.
Haha, yes, these are different times. Even if we don\'t look at Feng Zhenchang and their faces, no one will object to this matter led by the fourth uncle for the sake of money.
Those who run the noodle shop and sell chestnuts will of course be grateful to Feng Zhenchang and his friends. Those who work in factories in the town and city will also be grateful to them. Those who stay in the village to farm will also be grateful to them, because in addition to their own food rations, they also grow a lot of crops that can be sold at a good price according to order requirements.
Next, their family will set up a few more processing plants in the village, which will require hiring more workers and collecting various crops. Those children who work outside will be able to work in the village in the future and earn a salary that is not lower than what they would earn outside. There is no reason for them to oppose this matter led by Uncle Si, which is also for the good of everyone.
No wonder that after living in their hometown for more than a month, my parents looked healthier than before. In the provincial capital, they had also made some achievements and earned some money, but at that time, how many people could respect them as much as those in the village did?
In such an environment, my parents naturally felt at ease, and when they felt good, their complexion naturally improved.
My eldest uncle couldn\'t stay in the city for more than one night. He couldn\'t leave the noodle workshop, and the things they bought in the capital, especially the food, such as roast duck, wouldn\'t last long.
Feng Zhenchang and the others had originally planned to stay with Feng Yiping for a few more days, but after some discussion, they simply decided to go back with my eldest uncle. They took advantage of the good weather to level the land for the agricultural products processing plant in advance. With the development of Youjia, these things could already be put on the agenda.
