Chapter 473 469. It should be like this, like this, like this
After the Harvest Festival celebration became popular.

Various problems also began to emerge.

The first problem is insufficient transport capacity. Although the high-speed rail has been opened, there are too few vehicles stopping there, and the statistical transport capacity is only a few thousand people per day.

I didn’t feel it at other times, but once it became popular, it was far from enough. All the tickets for the Harvest Festival were sold out on the first day.

Then there are those who do not take the train and drive themselves.

A large number of self-driving tourists were stuck at the highway exit.

Whether it was by car, train or plane, I finally got in, but when I got to the hotel, there were no rooms available.

After much difficulty, I got the accommodation and went to the Harvest Festival smoothly. After playing around, I thought about going to other attractions.

Hey, no car.

Anyway, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to eating, drinking, playing and having fun, everything has problems.

Of course, the biggest problem is that the time is too short.

The harvest festival celebration lasts only three days.

Besides, these days are not statutory holidays.

A large number of tourists want to come but cannot.

The city’s cultural and tourism department’s phones were flooded with calls.

What's more, the cultural and tourism department itself is not doing its job. The travel agency they contacted aborted its plan before it even started. The city has done such a big thing, but the cultural and tourism department can't get any credit. How can that be?

This event is so well organized, but it is also worrying. On the one hand, the transportation capacity is insufficient and the reception capacity has reached its limit, while on the other hand, the demand is still great and tourists are eagerly looking forward to it.

Blocked at both ends.

Secretary Wang is worried about this.

If there is a blockage at both ends, then solve the problem at both ends.

Let’s deal with the internal issues and accommodation first.

Secretary Wang once again issued a strict order, requiring all enterprises and institutions in the city to open up their internal guesthouses to the public and to quickly get online platforms for those that could.

The surrounding homestays, farm stays, and family hotels were also visited by the Health, Consumer and Industrial Administration and registered for reception.

All the volunteers at the city’s road sign reception desks are mobilized.

Then build a tourist distribution center outside the wetland park and arrange buses to various scenic spots.

Fortunately, support from higher-ups also came.

The province allocated hundreds of buses with their own drivers to make up for the lack of transport capacity in the city.

Applications are also being submitted for long-distance travel to increase high-speed rail capacity.

Feeling at ease.

Then there is only one question left.

It will definitely be extended to National Day.

The question is, on what grounds?

Please welcome Mr. Luo! ——
Mr. Luo said: "It would be too embarrassing to directly announce the postponement of the celebration. I'm afraid there will be resistance. We should do this, this, this, this, this..."

Secretary Wang was overjoyed and slammed the table, "That's it!"

Get it done.
-
Three days passed in a flash.

The Tianhan Harvest Festival celebration came to a close amid the reluctance of many people.

Secretary Wang of the Municipal Party Committee attended the closing ceremony and delivered a speech.

After a series of thanks.

Secretary Wang mentioned Tianhan’s past.

"We at Tianhan had a passionate and high-spirited era decades ago. Builders from all over the country came to Tianhan from afar, took root here, built here, and dedicated their youth and sweat to this hot land."

"Time has passed, and most of the builders are now old, and many have returned to their hometowns to spend their old age."

"But they have never forgotten Tianhan, this warm land, and never forgotten this second homeland."

"During this Harvest Festival, many of the builders contacted the city and expressed their desire to come back and take a look."

"Over the past few decades, the various supporting villages of Tianhan have also forged deep friendships with the builders, and we also welcome the builders to come home and stay for a while." "It's just that the Harvest Festival was held in a hurry, and we didn't foresee that so many friends from all over the country would like it, and the transportation and accommodation were not perfect. This idea did not take shape."

"Therefore, the Tianhan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have decided to hold the "Celebrate National Day and Praise the Motherland" celebration again during the National Day, from October 1st to 7th. The celebration will be larger in scale, with more items and better preparations, while retaining the Harvest Festival celebration items."

"The Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department will also extend an invitation to the builders of that year. We also welcome friends from all over the country to come to Tianhan to enjoy the beautiful scenery, taste the delicious food, spend the National Day together, and stride towards the future!"

Wow~~~
The audience applauded warmly.

This message was spread out by the tourists present at that time.

And in the audience, there were many white-haired old people who cheered the most enthusiastically.

They are the employees of the third-line factories back then who did not go back but stayed.

There was a TV station at the scene which interviewed them.

Also interviewed were villagers from the local supporting villages in Tianhan.

Among them was the village headwoman of Ping'angou, who talked about the large-scale production when the factory was built. When the factory was still there, she carried a basket to sell vegetables in the staff quarters and sent her children to the factory's children's school.

She still clearly remembered that there was an old technician in the factory who loved to eat the eels in the village and only wanted the eels caught by the children in the village.

As soon as the kids in the village got out of school, they ran to the ditches and creeks to catch eels, and gave the ones they caught to the old technicians.

The senior technicians would give them pocket money, treat them to candy and cookies, and teach them mechanical drawing.

Draw machine tools, draw parts, and explain mechanical principles.

A kid in the village was fascinated by it, and was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University. Now he is designing large aircraft. (True story, my senior, who was a big shot back then, is now a member of the C919 design team.)
The reporter who interviewed was very excited.

Images popped up in my mind.

A group of country boys with mud on their faces gathered around a tattered desk, watching a kind old man sketching mechanical parts on paper.

The boy's eyes exuded curiosity about knowledge.

The scene changes, and the boy has grown up and is sitting at a bright white design table, drawing the blueprints of a domestically produced large aircraft.

His eyes revealed confidence and determination.

So handsome!
Something like this.

One little story after another spread across the country through reports.

When tourists were cheering and booking tickets and media attention was attracted.

Those retired workers from the third-line factories actually received invitations.

The retired employee groups, workshop groups, family compound groups, and factory office groups in each factory were all talking about this.

Many people couldn't wait until National Day and came here directly.

After getting off the high-speed train, I saw that Tianhan City really kept its word. The bus was waiting for me at the station. I went back to the factory to reminisce about the past, and they arranged accommodation for me and took me on tours. Everything was arranged very clearly.

A large number of white-haired elderly people appeared on social media, laughing and singing revolutionary songs.

Secretary Wang is taking advantage of the few days before National Day.

Hurry up and implement the things you decided before.

We will once again organize all the villages and towns to set up snack stalls and specialty stalls again, and strive to have more and more stalls to make it more lively.

Several theater troupes are stepping up rehearsals for new plays so as to present better performances to tourists during the National Day celebrations.

There are also several key intangible cultural heritage projects and the outstanding stalls at the Harvest Festival mentioned above. We will all give them special support and give them whatever they want.

For example, Liu Ying, who does Tianhan rattan weaving, organized a large number of local people to go into the mountains to collect green rattan.

All the craftsmen with this skill were mobilized to process rattan and weave collectively.

Liu Ying herself worked day and night, broadcasting live, and actively listened to the opinions of netizens in front of countless netizens.

She unbraided and braided her hair, and pulled it out handful by handful.

Finally, I designed a simple and beautiful cat bed.

And there are many styles, even rabbit nests.

I never expected that so many people keep rabbits as pets nowadays.

Liu Ying was worried that the rabbits might eat the rattan rabbit nest in the middle of the night. What would she do if the rabbits ate everything while she was sleeping?
