Su Huaqiang looked at the old man lightly.

After drinking this glass of wine, the old man seemed to lose his spirit, and after gently lowering the wine glass, his lips moved slightly, but finally fell silent.

Maybe it's because he was born here in two lifetimes, for this black land, Su Huaqiang feels that the so-called "love for hometown" only exists on the surface.

He had never felt that the Northeast was a romantic and gentle place, just as the people born here felt to others.

Bold, enthusiastic, bold, humorous, kind, but also known as quick-tongued, arrogant, emotional, impulsive and irritable.

And now, I don't know if it's because he drinks too much, but he feels a little hypocritically that he really doesn't know his hometown well enough, and he doesn't love it enough.

But now, it seems to be different.

The previously vague hometown suddenly became flesh and blood, and it began to be more and more imaged in Su Huaqiang's mind, until in the end, he became a living person.

He was the eldest son of a poor family, tall and round-shouldered, with an inexhaustible strength to work.

Relying on brute force, he contracted a few acres of land, and the money he earned, in addition to subsidizing his family, he also secretly saved some of it.

Sometimes at the end of the work, he would sit in the field, looking forward to spending money to build a big house and marry a daughter-in-law.

Of course, he has become the pillar of the family, and he has a loud voice, and even sometimes his younger siblings in the family make mistakes, and they will explode and curse.

The younger siblings in the family grew up slowly, and finally reached the age of going to school, but the family could not come up with more money.

He almost didn't hesitate, took out his daughter-in-law's book, and stuffed it into the hands of his younger siblings.

"Little rabbit, if you don't go to school well, I'll beat you to death!"

As usual, he burst into a foul mouth, and then turned back to the field and continued to work.

The younger siblings choked back tears and took the money to go to school.

And he worked as hard as ever to supplement his family.

lived up to his expectations, his younger brothers and sisters have made a difference, and the family is getting better and better.

And this big brother is already past his best age......

In the end, he got his wish and built a house and married a daughter-in-law, who is not a water spirit, but he is down-to-earth and willing to work.

The younger siblings did not forget him.

Merely...... Compared with his younger brothers and sisters who have already got ahead, he has become the most ordinary ......

............

It was at this time that the old man continued.

"In the 90s, many state-owned industries in the north were transformed, especially in the northeast, and these factories had insufficient circulating funds, resulting in a large number of layoffs.

At that time, there were laid-off workers everywhere and empty factories everywhere.

Since then, Huaxia has identified a total of 69 resource-exhausted cities across the country.

These cities all have such characteristics.

With the depletion of resources, the industrial efficiency declines;

The industrial structure is single, the resource industry is shrinking, and the alternative industry has not yet been formed

The total economic volume is insufficient, and the local financial resources are weak;

The income of a large number of workers is lower than the per capita level of urban residents in the country.

Among these 69 cities alone, the three northeastern provinces account for 35, more than half of which is !!

."

While listening, Su Huaqiang poured the old man full of wine again.

Then I poured myself full, just right, the bottle was empty.

And Su Huaqiang was also a little drunk.

If he was

sober, he would definitely wonder why an old man who was just an old man who ran an iron pot stew would have such a number of treasures.

Similarly, the confused Su Huaqiang didn't know.

At this time, on the other side of the hall, a large table of people had already put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and their eyes fell on him and the old man.

Quietly watching, but also quietly listening to ......

And the old man sitting next to Su Huaqiang was no better.

At this time, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked farther outside from time to time, and muttered and continued, "Boy, you have no worries about food and clothing now, do you know what it meant to be laid off back then?"

Old walls covered with dead vines, collapsed factory roofs, building corners littered with scraps, and crumbling and cluttered factory floors.

Many workers are not only workers, but also the breadwinners of the family, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers.

Suddenly, there is no iron rice bowl, and there is no income ......".

Speaking of this, the old man shook his head slightly, looking self-reproachful.

In the end, all emotions just turned into a deep sigh, he continued.

"One side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, and one side of the people is also rich and the other side of the local character.

Why is the Northeast called the eldest son, that is the silent support of countless Northeast 'big brothers' and 'big sisters'!

Tourists from other places think that the Northeast is cheap, why, because of the loss of population in the Northeast.

In order to support their families, many people have to go south to work and develop.

Now let's talk about revitalizing the Northeast, what a revitalization.

The most effective way is to rely on tourism to drive it.

Seriously, boy, even if you caused some trouble in my store today.

But you said you were going to entertain southern tourists, and I still ...... I'm very happy. "

Su Huaqiang felt that his brain was starting to be a little confused.

The old man's words, he listened to them word for word.

But more pictures in my mind are still stuck in the wave of layoffs that the old man did not finish.

Old walls covered with dead vines, collapsed factory roofs, building corners littered with scraps, and crumbling and cluttered factory floors ......

Under the big wave, there are families and individuals.

For no reason.

He remembered a song from his past life.

That song...... It's nice to hear, but I never understood the meaning.

And now, he seems to have some of understood.

Although the title of that song said something else, it didn't affect Su Huaqiang to start muttering one of the lyrics.

"I lived like this for 30 years, until the building collapsed, and the darkness in the depths of the clouds flooded the landscape ...... in my heart
