A ray of late autumn sunlight passed through the hole in the curtain and fell on Jin Enhua's face.
Jin Enhua rubbed his eyes, lifted the blanket, and sat up. He stretched and stared at Xiao Lanhui, who was lying on the bed. Her long black hair and back view reminded him of his sister. He had never seen his mother before. His sister, who was five years older than him, was the first woman in his life.
He didn't expect to feel so good after waking up drunk. It was calm and comfortable. He looked at his watch. It was nine o'clock. He patted his face. Fortunately, it was Sunday today, and not many people knew about his drunkenness. Otherwise, it would ruin his glorious image as a township head.
Xiao Lanhui was startled awake. He looked up at Jin Enhua and asked gently," You're awake? A shy smile hung on her gorgeous and pale face.
Jin Enhua smiled embarrassedly and quickly got off the bed. He said apologetically," Chief Physician Xiao, thank you for your hard work.
Xiao Lanhui had already tidied up the room. Jin Enhua opened the door and breathed in the fresh air. This Old Li had broken the door.
Xiao Lanhui handed the wet towel to Jin Enhua and said in a soft voice," In the future, don't drink on an empty stomach.
Jin Enhua looked at Xiao Lanhui in a daze." Thank you, you, you really look like my sister. I'll call you sister from now on. I feel awkward calling you Director Xiao.
Xiao Lanhui blushed and whispered hesitantly," Suit yourself.
I'm afraid that my biological sister will be jealous if she hears me. Jin Enhua shook his head, pretending to be troubled. He sighed and said," Sigh, that's our family's big leader, the tigress who terrorizes the entire Jin family. Grandpa and Grandma have to obey her transfer.
Then don't call her sister. Xiao Lanhui was amused.
Jin Enhua shook his head and said," No, no, Minister Sun is much older than my auntie, and she even forced me to call her Sister Sun. You've worked hard to take care of me all night and have developed feelings for me. No, you have to be my sister.
Xiao Lanhui's face turned red.
Inappropriate choice of words, hehe, inappropriate choice of words. Jin Enhua moved closer to Xiao Lanhui and said with a smile,"Then let's call her Sister Lan. It's friendly and natural. How about it?
At this moment, Li Hongnian's tall figure appeared at the door.
Xiao Lanhui quickly took two steps back and kept a certain distance from Jin Enhua. He greeted Li Hongnian unnaturally," Minister Li was here.
Minister Xiao, you've worked hard. Li Hongnian laughed and suddenly shook his head. Sigh, I, Li Hongnian, have a hard life. Our Jin Village Chief is lucky. Even when I'm drunk, I have a woman to serve me.
Xiao Lanhui blushed and glanced at Jin Enhua." You guys chat, I'm going to buy breakfast. With that, she turned around and left Jin Enhua's room.
Jin Enhua glared at Li Hongnian and punched him hard.
Li Hongnian blinked and said loudly," Enhua, tell me honestly, why did you call me sister after staying alone for the entire night?
Jin Enhua smiled and said in a low voice," Old Li, don't think about it the wrong way. Look at your bad thoughts.
Pretend, pretend. Li Hongnian pointed at his own eyes and laughed," These are the eyes of an old scout. Can't you see the sparks between the two of you?
Jin Enhua smiled strangely and said," I'll stop when I'm done. Old Li, I've always handled matters with ease. I'll stop when I'm done."
Li Hongnian chuckled and thought,"Brother, you can be considered as someone who has been through this before. I understand."
Jin Enhua asked,"It's a Sunday. Why are you here?" Didn't you say that you were going to work in the fields?
Li Hongnian sat down and said hesitantly," First, I came to see you. Second, Enhua, you better think about what you said last night. I'm not afraid of trouble.
Jin Enhua smiled without saying a word. He took out a map from the pile of papers under the bed and spread it on the desk. This is the map of Qing Ling County that I got from the county archives. With your experience as an old soldier, take a look at the geographical location of Yue He Village.
Li Hongnian stopped smiling and looked at the north side of the map. There was a plain with a dense network of water. The west was also a plain, and it was thirteen kilometers away from Zeshui Town, the transportation hub of the county. To the east was the Chengdong District, which was ten kilometers away from Qingxi Town and about fourteen kilometers away from the mouth of Zhuang River. To the south, next to Moon River Village was the vast yellow earth mountainous area. Li Hongnian patted the map and exclaimed,"Good place, Enhua, good taste."
Jin Enhua smiled smugly and thought, Old Li, can't you be a little inspired?
Li Hongnian nodded his head repeatedly." In a military sense, our Moon River is the strategic hub and the gateway to the sea of the Green Ridge and even the entire Tianzhou. It can be considered a battleground for military strategists. As for the rest, it's up to you, the head of the village, to give some pointers."
Hehe, just a little personal opinion. Jin Enhua looked at the map and said," In terms of economy, our Moon River is the economic and living center of the hundreds of thousands of people in the southern part of Qing Ling County. Look, the Yellow Earth Mountain in the south is 30 kilometers wide from north to south and stretches for more than 60 kilometers from east to west. Including Lehai County, there are more than 200,000 people living there. My sister's home is there. I used to go there every year. According to my preliminary estimation, 60% of their supplies are shipped in from Moon River. To be exact, it was transported into the Moon River.
Xiao Lanhui walked in quietly with a few steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk in his hands. He gestured to Li Hongnian.
Li Hongnian nodded and gestured for Xiao Lanhui to keep quiet. He then pointed at the chair beside him.
Xiao Lanhui didn't say anything. He placed the steamed buns and soy milk on the desk and sat beside Li Hongnian.
Jin Enhua glanced at Xiao Lanhui, grabbed a steamed bun, and took a few bites. He looked at the map and continued,""The eastern part of our Moon River Village is the Chengdong District with Qingxi Town as the center. It has a population of more than 100,000. Although it faces the sea, it is inconvenient to get there. They only have two ways to connect to the land outside. One is the road to the county town. It has to pass through the high Green Ridge Mountain. It is separated by a mountain. It takes seven to eight hours for a car to climb. The road is broken and steep, and accidents happen frequently. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the Green Ridge is 3,000 meters high and it takes half a year to walk. The other way is the waterway. They have at least 80% of the land." They all pass through the Zhuang River and pass through our Moon River Village. Therefore, in addition to the few villages around Moon River, our Moon River Street's market day on the fourth and ninth day of the lunar month has always been known as the number one city in Tianzhou. Unfortunately, it has slowly declined in recent decades.
Jin Enhua returned to his chair and downed the bowl of beans.
Xiao Lanhui agreed," Moon River is a good place. The real restriction is that there are no roads. The land economy, in a sense, is the transportation economy. There are only waterways and no roads. It's like a person walking on one leg. They can't walk well."
Li Hongnian nodded." Yes, Director Xiao is right. We didn't have anyone in Yuehe in the past. Secretary Huang wasn't good at it, and Secretary Huang didn't have anyone to support him. It's been decades, and on average, each person doesn't even have half an acre of paddy field. We're getting poorer and poorer." He smiled at Xiao Lanhui and said,"Director Xiao, I'm just talking about the matter. I don't mean to be disrespectful to Secretary Huang."
Xiao Lanhui looked at Jin Enhua and said sincerely," I understand what Minister Li means. Let's talk about the facts.
Jin Enhua smiled and looked at Xiao Lanhui mischievously. Their eyes met, and Xiao Lanhui's face blushed.
Li Hongnian saw this and was delighted. As expected, the two of them were really going against each other.
Jin Enhua shifted his gaze to Li Hongnian and said confidently," Therefore, I've done some serious research and research these days. I've decided to build a market, build a road, build a nest first, then attract people, and strive to restore the prosperity of Tianzhou's number one market.
Good idea, bold. Li Hongnian gave him a thumbs up and said," Enhua, those guys from the industrial and commercial office are hanging around Yuehe Street every day, jumping around. And, where's the money? Don't forget that we still owe a huge debt.
Jin Enhua nodded and smiled strangely." Old Li, 70% to 80% of the smuggled goods on the surface of Tianzhou are transported out through our Moon River Village. That's why those workers in the industrial and commercial office stay in Moon River Street. Why can't our Moon River Village make a fuss about it? 'Don't let the fertile water flow into the fields of others. Damn it, when I see those bastards eating and drinking well, I'm angry. Why can't we be closer to the water and get the moon first?'
Li Hongnian glanced at Xiao Lanhui, then turned to look at Jin Enhua.
Jin Enhua knew what Li Hongnian meant. He turned around and stared at Xiao Lanhui." Sister Lan, I want to hear your opinion. In his heart, he was saying,'Let's take a gamble. What kind of woman is Sister Lan?'
Xiao Lanhui's face turned red. He thought for a moment and said softly," Some things could be done but not said, and some things could be said but not done.
Li Hongnian laughed and said," Well said. Director Xiao is indeed someone from the prefectural party committee's propaganda department. You have a good level of speech. No wonder Village Head Jin thinks so highly of you. He didn't call you Sister Lan for nothing."
Jin Enhua threw a pack of cigarettes at Li Hongnian and said with a smile," Take it and stuff your mouth.
Xiao Lanhui's face turned even redder, and his chest heaved up and down. He hesitated for a moment before saying," I, I am a party member. Of course, of course, I have to consciously accept the leadership of the township head.
Li Hongnian gritted his teeth and thought, Enhua, I have nothing to say.
Jin Eunhua stood up and walked around the room. He said seriously," In order to curb the increasingly rampant smuggling activities, our Yuehe township has the responsibility to defend the territory. The township party committee and township government have decided to secretly establish the Yuehe township anti-smuggling team. Comrade Li Hongnian and I will be the captain and deputy captain, and Comrade Xiao Lanhui will be the director of the anti-smuggling team office.
Li Hongnian seemed to have heard a military order. He stood up and said," Alright, Enhua, so you've planned this all along. I'll go all out and do it.
Where's the person I asked you to find? Jin Enhua asked.
Li Hongnian thought for a moment and said," I have an old comrade who is a life and death friend of mine. He's from the Dachen Village. His name is Chen Dajun. He's absolutely reliable. Also, you've met my brother. Unfortunately, Luo Jidong has gone to study. This kid can be counted as one of them when he comes back."
Jin Enhua nodded and said," Old Li, go down and take a look. Come to my place tonight at seven o'clock. Call your younger brother and comrades, as well as my old uncle, the ticket seller Xiaowu on the liner, and Huang Sichun from the steamed bun shop. It's just the beginning. We'll make the people more capable first. We'll need to slowly expand in the future."
Li Hongnian couldn't sit still anymore. He responded and turned to leave.
Xiao Lanhui looked at Jin Enhua silently. Jin Eunhua, on the other hand, was chewing on the remaining steamed bun and laughing at her mischievously.
Enhua. Xiao Lanhui was used to addressing him as the township head, so he immediately blushed." Aren't you afraid that I'll betray you?
A strange smile flashed across Jin Enhua's face." Sister Lan, I'm not afraid because I believe in my own judgment.
Thank you. Xiao Lanhui said,"But I have two requests."
You say, you say. Jin Enhua looked at Xiao Lanhui, a little infatuated.
Xiao Lanhui blushed and whispered," Don't call me Sister Lan when there's someone around. Also, I want to join tonight's operation."
