Chapter 1320 Small Family
The arrival of her grandparents, parents, and other family members made Mi Xiaonan very happy. When her husband, Liu Yibang, came home, Mi Xiaonan felt a lump in her throat and longed to rush into his arms.
Actually, on Sifang Island, her parents-in-law, grandfather, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law all treated her very well. This kindness made her happy during the day.
When the night is deep and quiet, Mi Xiaonan can't help but think of Liu Yibang. This is especially true when the baby in her belly is moving, which makes the thoughts even stronger.
Liu Yibang saw that although Mi Xiaonan was smiling, the complex emotions in her eyes made his heart ache. He quickly went over and took his wife's hand.
"You've worked hard! I can stay here for 20 days this time!" Liu Yibang said softly, "I'll spend some quality time with you!"
Upon hearing this, Mi Xiaonan's eyes lit up. This was much longer than the Lunar New Year holiday. "Why? The holiday hasn't started yet. How can you come back early? Even if something comes up, don't you have to go back before the New Year?"
Liu Yibang explained, "I won't be going back before the Lunar New Year! There's a Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau-Southeast Asia Investment Promotion Conference in Shenzhen, and I brought all sorts of materials with me. I hope to attract more investment by attending the conference!"
"As for matters at work, those are handled by other leaders! They are all very supportive, which is why I was able to come back early! However, I need to call the leaders frequently to report on my work."
Mi Xiaonan beamed, "That's great! You can go about your business during the day without worrying about me! Now that Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom are here too, I'm busy during the day as well!"
Seeing the couple chatting and laughing without any barriers, both sets of parents were relieved.
Especially for the Mi family, their only daughter, Mi Xiaonan, is the apple of their eye. Deep down, they don't expect their son-in-law to achieve great success or rise to high positions. They only hope that the young couple will have a good relationship, live harmoniously, and grow old together.
But since the two are destined to be together, their elders cannot separate them.
Fortunately, Liu Yibang did not disappoint them, and the Liu family's actions put their minds at ease.
Grandpa Mi, Grandma Mi, your father, and your mother have been arranged to stay in an apartment building. It has three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. The place has been cleaned and the bedding has been changed, making it more comfortable and convenient than staying in the guesthouse.
Mi's mother exclaimed, "Just by looking at Mi's complexion today, I know she's being taken very good care of! She has plenty of energy and blood, but she's not obese! It's just that her belly is a bit big because she's pregnant with twins!"
Mr. Mi comforted her, "From our building, we can see the hospital over there! It's very close and provides excellent medical care, so don't worry about it!"
Grandpa Mi wholeheartedly agreed, "I observed the Liu family's children today. Some are mischievous, some are quiet, but they are all very polite! You can tell how well-mannered the adults are from the children. The Liu family is truly remarkable!"
Grandma Mi chimed in, "Before, our family never had any dealings with families like the Liu family. We thought all officials were like the Zhao family. They have a son who's a district head, and he walks and talks with his head held high, looking down on everyone! If you want him to do something for you, he'll make excuses and ask for this and that, and most importantly, he can't get anything done in the end!"
Mrs. Mi wholeheartedly agreed, "Look again. Speaking of being rich, Liu's second son and Meilan manage such a large company and earn so much money. Have they ever wasted a single penny? Have they ever bullied others or looked down on people just because they are rich?"
Mr. Mi chimed in, "Absolutely not. The nouveau riche from our area who got rich from land expropriation just eat and drink all they want, and I don't see anything wrong with that! But look at some people, they go to prostitutes, keep mistresses, and do all sorts of things!"
"The most hateful thing is Old Yu's youngest grandson. He was lured into gambling and drug use, and now the two buildings that were demolished have almost been sold off! Such a big family fortune has been squandered!"
"They've been targeted!" Grandpa Mi analyzed. "They're so high-profile, showing off their wealth, as if they're afraid others won't know! They think they're so smart, but it's all just wishful thinking! They lack self-control; a few compliments and they lose all sense of direction! There are too many people like that!"
Mrs. Mi nodded, "I feel at ease knowing that my grandson and granddaughter will grow up under such a good family upbringing!"
"Actually, what I'm more curious about is the education system on Sifang Island!" Mr. Mi has now been transferred to the teaching and research office, where he is responsible for teaching and research tasks and collecting review materials available on the market!
Although the materials for Sifangdao Elementary and Middle School are all internal, no one was stopped from asking for them.
Therefore, Mr. Mi had a complete set of materials. After studying them carefully, he found that the questions and teaching methods of Sifangdao were quite good.
Even in Guangzhou, they had heard of the achievements of Shifang Island. It was good, but difficult to replicate, especially the cultivation of cultural heritage, the broadening of horizons from ancient and modern times to China and abroad, and the in-depth study of interests and hobbies, all of which cannot be achieved overnight.
It took several years of hard work for Shifang Island to achieve its current success.
During this time on the island, Mr. Mi plans to talk with other teachers, hoping to gain some inspiration.
Liu Yibang coaxed Mi Xiaonan to sleep, and in order not to disturb her sleep, he looked at some documents in the living room.
Liu Meilan brewed two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table. "It's your first day back, and you don't even know how to rest! Don't you feel tired?"
Liu Yibang took the teacup and took a sip. "I'm not tired. If I prepare the materials thoroughly, I'll be more at ease when I attend the recommendation meeting tomorrow!"
Liu Meilan blinked, saw her third brother's bright and energetic eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, is there something good going on?"
Liu Yibang nodded, "My position will be changed after the Chinese New Year!"
Liu Meilan was slightly taken aback. "You've been the district head for less than two years. Is that appropriate?"
Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Under normal circumstances, such a promotion is indeed a bit too fast! But Shiyang District is developing so well now that anyone who comes here, as long as they follow the policies I set, will achieve good results! As for me, this brick, of course I have to move to a different position!"
Liu Meilan touched her chin, still thinking.
Professor Xie took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "What position have you been promoted to? Are you working in the city?"
Liu Yibang gave a thumbs up, "Mom, you're amazing! You guessed it right away! The city values my ability to attract investment and develop the economy, so I'll be promoted to vice mayor, in charge of the economy, education, and health!"
Professor Xie smiled and said, "It's understandable that they have these thoughts! Economically, you can find quality investors in Shenzhen and Shanghai! In terms of education, you pay more attention than others! As for healthcare, you can also get my resources! Plus, there's the support from the Little Bell Charity Foundation!"
Liu Yibang smiled, "Yes, that's why they arranged all these things for me. Thank you everyone."
