Chapter 311 Concerns
In the 1970s and 1980s, ordinary people could not even think of using a car. Only the leaders could ride in a car.
Luo Cheng got two cars, not to show off, but simply for the convenience of travel. One car was planned to be placed in Changcheng, and the other was to be taken to Jiangcheng.
However, after more than ten years, there was no news at all. Luo Cheng was actually worried that Zhao Qian and Zheng Ke would remarry because they were considering his death. However, Luo Cheng still had some confidence in Zhao Qian. With her character, she might remain a widow for him. But people's hearts are unpredictable. What if she was persuaded to remarry?
As for Luo Cheng himself, he slept with Hong Xiu after only a few months of fleeing to Hong Kong. Putting aside emotions and moral bottom lines, this matter is actually very difficult to bear.
And let alone people like Luo Cheng who disappeared, he was active in the countryside for these years. Men were taken to the countryside, and women remarried in the city. Anyway, only a few were infatuated. Many people abandoned their wives and children in order to return to the city when they went to the countryside, not to mention Luo Cheng, who was never seen alive or dead.
Luo Cheng had thought it through. Even if the worst happened, he would accept it. But if his wife remarried, he would definitely take back his children.
Maybe Luo Cheng didn't think too deeply, just thinking that it would be convenient to travel with a car after returning to China. But a car will attract attention when passing through any city.
As long as Luo Cheng stopped to eat and rest in a city, local leaders would come to him. They learned that Luo Cheng and his family were Hong Kong businessmen returning to their hometown. The more senior the leaders, the more upper-level information they would be exposed to.
Although the pilot is only in the coastal area, once the wind direction is confirmed, who can guarantee that inland cities will not also implement open investment in the future. Moreover, a local pilot allows all foreign businessmen to enter the country. Many people ran away from the country back then, and everyone knew it tacitly.
The strength of a businessman who can drive two cars back to China is definitely beyond doubt. Anyway, the leaders don't have to pay for entertaining others. So Luo Cheng's journey is two days, but he was entertained by the local leaders just after passing through a city.
Even if there is no investment promotion now, it's nothing to make a good relationship. Moreover, many people who return to China are patriotic. After returning to their hometowns, some small places hope that people will give some money to build a road or donate a bridge. At most, they will put a sign on the bridge or the road they built.
China is short of foreign exchange now. As long as people from overseas spend money in China, they spend foreign exchange in China. If there is only RMB, some big leaders really look down on it.
Anyway, in two years, those who return to China and miss their hometown families will also want to return to their roots. As long as you come back, there will be all kinds of people who come to flatter you and make friends. Talk to you about all kinds of feelings, and then talk about the difficulties of your hometown. If you have money to return to China, you are really superior.
But if you become poor after returning to China, everyone will laugh at you as a fool.
Luo Cheng regretted taking a car back to Changcheng. If he had known earlier, the family would take the train and the car would be transported to Changcheng.
It took four days to enter Ganzhou for a two-day journey. After entering Ganzhou, Luo Cheng's mood was somewhat uncontrollable excitement.
Finally, I came back. I rested for one night in Jiangcheng, Ganzhou. The next day, I set off early in the morning. When I arrived in Changcheng, it was almost noon. What was quite coincidental was that today was New Year's Day, which was already January 1, 1979.
Two cars entered Changcheng, and naturally someone came forward to ask about the identities of Luo Cheng and others. Then, before returning home, the group went to the local office in the city. They also met the current secretary and the second and third in command of the city.
Unlike other cities, Luo Cheng expressed his willingness to contribute to the local units in Changcheng. After the New Year, when his wife and children return to Hong Kong to study, he will have someone transport another batch of cars over. At that time, he will donate two cars to the city leaders for travel and office use. In addition, he hopes that the two cars that are now coming here will be conveniently parked in the office area here temporarily.
In addition, he hopes that everyone will not come to disturb his life, and Luo Cheng also confessed his identity. In 1965, he was still a purchasing section chief of the machinery factory in this city, but he made a mistake that year, and made a lot of money by tampering with materials.
When the leaders of the city heard what Luo Cheng said, they also laughed. Luo Cheng's words made sense. Those who can be leaders in the city are not too young, and naturally know the situation in the country more than ten years ago.
But now the situation has changed. Not only can those who escaped in the past come back at will, and the past is not punished. Even those who were involved in the black market in the past few years have been released now.
When Luo Cheng left, he had a family in Changcheng. Now he and Hongxiu and the children have five people. If they go back to live, there will definitely be no room.
Therefore, the leaders arranged for Luo Cheng and his friends to stay in the hotel, and they didn't need to spend a penny. And let Luo Cheng come to them directly if he had anything in Changcheng.
After arriving at the hotel, Luo Cheng calmed down. He didn't have the feeling of going back to the compound immediately to see Zhao Qian and his children.
In fact, Hongxiu was nervous. She used to call Zhao Qian sister-in-law, but now she has been with Luo Cheng for so many years and has given birth to three children. What should she call Zhao Qian after seeing her? You have to know that when she came to Changcheng to beg for food, it was Zhao Qian, not Luo Cheng, who took her in first.
In addition, what if Zhao Qian did not accept two women sharing one man, or even three women and one man. Because Luo Cheng told Zhang Hongxiu that he had made mistakes in Jiangcheng and had women and children there.
Hongxiu definitely doesn't mind. If she did, she wouldn't have had a secret crush on Luo Cheng.
After Luo Cheng calmed down, he also had many concerns about this. So he planned to stay in a hotel with his family first, and then go to find out about the family situation.
Another point is that even if Zhao Qian accepts them, what about his children? Will they hate me after more than ten years of absence? Will they understand my difficulties if I can't come back?
"Hongxiu, why don't we wait for two more days? I'll go to the street office tomorrow to find out the situation. You take the children around the hotel first."
"Luo Cheng, why don't I go to the door and talk to them directly. Sister-in-law~~ I accept the punishment from my elder sister."
"Don't say that. As a man, I don't have this responsibility. You don't need to take the lead in this matter."
Zhang Hongxiu has long stopped calling Luo Cheng the second brother. Occasionally, she calls him to stimulate her emotions during night activities. But now she can no longer call Zhao Qian sister-in-law. She should call her sister.
Hongxiu used to call Luo Yan a sister, but now Luo Yan may call her sister-in-law. Luo Cheng also plans to find out the situation from the street office, then go to his sister Luo Yan first, and then ask Luo Yan to call Zhao Qian to meet at an appropriate time.
(This chapter is a bit short, I had something to do during the day and was delayed, so I'll just take it as a day off today, and I'll update one more chapter tomorrow)
