On February 20, 2018, the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xu Shiyan celebrated his 66th birthday.

In fact, Xu Shiyan's birthday is not at this time. His birthday is on the eighth day of the tenth lunar month.

But everyone was busy at that time, and no one could take time off specifically to celebrate his birthday.

In addition, Su Anying asked someone to investigate, saying that Xu Shiyan, who was sixty-six years old, could not live a normal life, so it was best to move forward.

The couple discussed it with their children and decided to settle it on the first day of the first lunar month.

Relatives and friends are all at home, so we can have a good time together.

In fact, in the past few years, Xu Shiyan and his wife have mostly been away from home in the winter and returned in the summer.

In the autumn of 2007, ninety-eight-year-old Chu Xuanhuai passed away in her sleep.

Chu Xuanhuai's two sons were originally sentenced to life imprisonment, but they behaved well and had their sentences commuted for meritorious service. In the end, their sentences were reduced to twenty years, so they were unable to see Mr. Chu off for the last time.

On the other hand, the younger generations of the Chu family later learned from the high school principal that it was Xu Shiyan who funded their studies in college.

Chu Junyu called Xu Shiyan to express his gratitude, but Xu Shiyan only said that this was Chu Xuanhuai's intention.

If they, the younger generation, still have some conscience, they can just come over and visit the old man often.

After Chu Junyu and others found out, they came to the Northeast to visit Chu Xuanhuai. The old man was very happy to finally see his grandchildren.

After that, the children came to visit the old man every year, and Chu Xuanhuai had no regrets.

Mr. Chu passed away suddenly. Xu Shiyan called to inform the Chu family. Chu Junyu and others hurried over to see Chu Xuanhuai off.

Logically speaking, given Chu Xuanhuai's status, after his death he should be sent to the capital for a farewell party and his ashes should be sent to the Revolutionary Cemetery.

But Chu Xuanhuai didn't want to go through too much trouble and had already made a will. After he left, he would just follow the normal procedures for funeral arrangements.

He should be laid to rest as early as possible and no farewell or memorial service should be held.

In accordance with Mr. Chu's last wish, Xu Shiyan specially selected a cemetery with excellent Feng Shui for him.

On the way from Donggang to the Southwest Fork of the Dajiang River, there is a natural pine forest with beautiful mountains and clear waters and a very good environment. Mr. Chu is buried there.

With the consent of the Chu family, the body of Mr. Chu's wife was moved from the provincial capital and buried with Mr. Chu.

At the end of 2008, 86-year-old Xu Chenghou fell asleep without any illness or pain. In 2009, Zhou Guilan also passed away.

In his previous life, Xu Chenghou died suddenly due to encephalopathy caused by high blood pressure. Zhou Guilan died in the autumn of 2008 due to space-occupying lesions in the bile duct, which caused cirrhosis, ascites, and massive gastrointestinal bleeding.

In this life, Xu Shiyan pays special attention to the physical condition of his parents, and gets treated immediately if he feels a little uncomfortable.

In particular, Xu Shiyan paid special attention to Zhou Guilan's liver and gallbladder problems and kept an eye on them at all times.

In addition, Zhou Guilan lived a smooth life in his later years, unlike his previous life where he had so many troubles and suffered hardships.

Therefore, the old lady basically has no major problems and has always been in good health.

It’s just that as I got older, my wife passed away suddenly. In the local saying, it was flashing, so not long after Xu Chenghou passed away, the old lady also left.

Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan were buried together. According to their requests during their lifetime, the cemetery was very close to the cemetery of Chu Xuanhuai and his wife.

Su Weizhong and Han Cai'e also passed away in those few years.

Old people, as you get older, this day will inevitably come.

As a child, I definitely cannot accept it for a while, but how can ordinary people decide about life, old age, illness and death?

After arranging the funeral arrangements for the elders, Xu Shiyan and his wife were taken to the capital to relax by their children.

Ginseng Company had in-depth cooperation with Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, later known as Pharmaceutical University. Xu Shiyan was a professor at Pharmaceutical University.

Pharmaceutical University has a special experimental base and research institute in Changbai Mountain, specializing in the protection, development and utilization of various medicinal plants.

So in the spring, summer and autumn, Xu Shiyan returned to Donggang to lead students to conduct experiments, conduct research, and manage the ginseng industry company.

In winter, he and Su Anying went to the capital, Shenzhen City, Shanghai City and other places to inspect.

After so many years of hard work, Xu Shiyan has become the director of the Changbai Mountain Resources Institute and Soil Research Institute of Jilin Agricultural University, the vice chairman of the Specialties Society of the Chinese Agricultural Society, the chairman of the Jilin Ginseng Technology Development Board, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It can be said that Xu Shiyan has achieved the ultimate in ginseng production, processing, utilization and protection throughout his life.

With Xu Shiyan's current status and the strength of the descendants of the Xu family, Xu Shiyan is about to celebrate his sixty-sixth birthday. Can the battle be too small?

Xu Shiyan's brothers, all the nephews and nephews of the Xu family, as well as all the relatives from the Zhou family and the Su family, as well as the children and in-laws of Xu Shiyan and his wife, all came.

Zhao Jianshe, Huang Shengli, Guo Shouye and others should retire now and take care of their old age.

We just took advantage of the opportunity to join in the fun.

With so many people celebrating their birthday, the birthday banquet must be held in a hotel.

After years of development and construction, the original site has long since changed, and all industrial plants have been moved to the industrial concentration area in the outer ring of the Songjiang River.

The area originally used for the venue has become a prosperous resort integrating accommodation, dining, entertainment, shopping and leisure.

The birthday banquet was arranged in a five-star hotel, and the large banquet hall was filled with congratulatory guests.

"Third Uncle, do you think it would have been better if the company had been reformed a few years later?

If that's the case, I guess with your support, Sanjiang City can be established, otherwise, Changbai Mountain Development Zone will be no problem."

Zhou Qingguo, who is one year younger than Xu Shiyan, retired from the province last winter. When he learned that Xu Shiyan had passed his birthday, he rushed back.

Zhou Qingguo also had various emotions when mentioning what happened back then.

Changbai Mountain West Scenic Area was established and operated in 1996. Afterwards, under the leadership of Xu Shiyan, Shenye Company began to focus on developing tourism on the western slope of Changbai Mountain.

With the success of Mingzhu Resort, people above have also seen the huge impact of tourism development on economic development.

Since 2002, the authorities have been thinking about how to develop tourism in Changbai Mountain.

The original idea was to merge Fusong, Antu and Changbai together and establish a city named Sanjiang.

Unified integration of resources and unified development will allow unified management of the three scenic spots in the north, west and south of Changbai Mountain.

As a result, the Hunjiang River, later known as Baishan, and the other end of the Yanbian River did not agree, and Huang was disturbed.

After that, the superiors considered setting aside these three places, Fusong City, Songjiang River, and Donggang, to establish a development zone directly under the province, located in Songjiang River.

As a result, the people in the county did not agree, and they were confused again.

Later, it was said that combining Songjiang River with Donggang River would not work, and the county would not let it go.

In the end, in 2005, only Donggang was set aside and Chixi District of Changbai Mountain Development Zone was established.

"It's impossible. The most I can do is come up with a plan. In other aspects, I don't have that ability." Xu Shiyan smiled and shook his head.

In fact, he had heard some rumors at the beginning, and the higher-ups did have this intention.

But at that time, the company had completed its shareholding reform and was no longer a state-owned enterprise. Xu Shiyan was not the secretary of a state-owned enterprise, so it was impossible for him to be transferred to the system again.

Xu Shiyan has been running the Ginseng Industry Company for so many years and has managed to develop the Ginseng Industry Company. Could he abandon the company and go to the city or a development zone?

He was already fifty at that time, so why did he bother to worry about such things?

Besides, Xu Shiyan is very clear about the urinary properties of certain people. It involves the interests of all parties and is very difficult to deal with.

He might as well stick to the company safely and live his happy life.

"Oh, it's a pity. If a city or district had been established, it would have been even worse here." Zhou Qingguo still felt it was a pity.

At that time, he had just been transferred from the county to the city, and he had not yet established himself. He did not have enough voice to intervene.

Now, all I can do is sigh.

“It’s pretty good now. You can see that ginseng companies are growing and tourism development is booming.

We have built roads everywhere, most of Donggang has been relocated, and everyone has moved into buildings. Aren't we living a pretty good life?"

Xu Shiyan didn't feel anything pity or pity, those things were not something he could worry about.

He is only responsible for the development and construction of the site. He has no control over other aspects.

In recent years, Changbai Mountain has developed really well.

Changbaishan Airport was opened to traffic in 2008, the expressway was opened to traffic a few years ago, and the high-speed railway is also under construction. It is said that it will be opened to traffic in two or three years.

Chixi District is also actively attracting investment. It first built roads and then built many hotels.

The entire west slope mountain gate was also moved downwards to establish the Changbai Mountain Tourism Distribution Center to promote the development of the local tourism economy.

Most of the three villages of Dongcan, Donggang and Xichan have been demolished and renovated, and the people have moved into buildings.

However, compared to the venue, there is still not enough construction.

In Xu Shiyan's previous life, the venue became obsolete in 2003. Later, Chixi District was established within the area of ​​the venue.

In this life, although the ginseng soil planned for thirty-three years is gone, the ginseng field is still there, and the ginseng industry company is still developing well.

The main reason is that Xu Shiyan made plans in advance, directly negotiated cooperation with the Black Province, and established a large-scale ginseng production base there.

Fusong is the most famous ginseng town in the country. After so many years of development, there are very few forestlands for cultivating ginseng, only scattered small plots of land and two crops of soil.

Second crop soil refers to the ginseng soil where one crop of ginseng has been planted.

The fertility of this kind of soil is low, and there are many bacteria. Even after more than ten years of rest period, it is difficult to recover.

Therefore, if ginseng is replanted in this kind of soil, it will not grow well due to poor fertility, and it is also very easy to rot.
