Chapter 187: Long Table Banquet
After Su Jinhui finished speaking, everyone felt very excited and thrilled. They had never thought that ordinary people like them could have such a meaningful thing.
"That's great! I can tell my son that this road was built by his father. Won't that make him jealous to death?"
Everyone laughed, and Su Jinhui also felt the warm atmosphere. Seeing that her family was still working, she didn't waste much time.
In the evening, the main street of the island was filled with long tables, and every household in the village began to get busy. When everyone was busy preparing the meal and it was almost ready, Sister Wu went to the hospital to invite Su Jinhui to come for dinner.
"Su Jinhui, this long assignment is ready. Now we just need you as the protagonist. Are you busy now? If not, come with me."
Su Jinhui didn't expect the fire to spread so quickly. She put down what she was holding and went to the street with Sister Wu.
Before I even got close, I could smell the fragrance of food. The long table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, fruits and snacks.
She also felt this wonderful festive atmosphere.
"There's so much food, didn't I tell everyone to keep it simple? Just stir-fry two dishes."
But looking at the rich dishes on the table, Su Jinhui knew that this meal must have cost a lot of money.
"Don't worry, this money is all contributed by us together. It won't cost much. If every household contributes a little, it won't be a big burden for us."
It would be a lie for Su Jinhui to say that she was not moved. Seeing that the villagers had done so much, she felt her heart pounding.
After Su Jinhui took her seat, everyone looked at her excitedly. "Su Jinhui, our island has been able to develop so well because of you. Please take the lead and say a few words so that everyone can listen and the children can learn from you."
Everyone applauded excitedly. Su Jinhui picked up her wine glass and stood up. She looked at the people with gentle eyes.
"From the first day I arrived on the island until now, from everyone's doubts and confusion to their current steadfast obedience, as well as everyone's love and care for me, I have truly felt it."
"I'm toasting to everyone with this glass of wine. Actually, I don't have much to say because I really want to build this place well. This is the first time I've felt so much human care since I left the countryside and came to the island. It's also here that I met the people who are very important to me in this life."
"The island's current development is definitely not due to my own efforts. Without everyone's cooperation and their continued belief in me, we wouldn't be here today. This glass of wine is a toast to all of us."
Everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Everyone had happy smiles on their faces. Even the director of the military hospital, many doctors and nurses, as well as senior leaders of the military region, attended the long table banquet.
Everyone was drinking and chatting happily, and they couldn't help but burst into tears when looking at Su Jinhui. This kind of happy and beautiful life is what ordinary people should live, and they should not be harassed by those enemy spies.
Su Jinhui suddenly felt a special force in the space, as if something had changed. The villagers' support for Su Jinhui seemed to have added some invisible merit to the space.
She felt the changes in the space and firmly believed that the only way to achieve her life goal was to make good use of the space and take the right path.
After the long table banquet, Su Jinhui deeply felt the difficulties faced by the military and civilians on the island, especially the residents of remote villages and the families of grassroots officers and soldiers in getting medical treatment.
So she decided to invest her personal income into building a modern health center.
However, this amount of money is too huge. Even if she currently has so much money, it will arouse other people's suspicion. So in order to avoid this trouble, Su Jinhui also specially found the commander of the military region.
"Su Jinhui, you've come to see me no less than three times in this period. Tell me, what's the reason this time?"
The team leader now understands Su Jinhui's temper and knows that she came to him because she must have something to discuss with him, because Su Jinhui never talks too much nonsense.
"As expected, I can't hide anything from you. I came here this time actually hoping that the new district and our island's enterprises would jointly invest in the construction of a modern health center."
"I will also contribute this money personally, but the funds required are quite large, so I hope everyone can participate together."
After hearing what Su Jinhui said, the team leader couldn't help but ponder, "Building a modern hospital requires more than a few hundred or a few thousand, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"Let's not talk about how huge the number is. Our military hospital is doing well. Why do you want to build a modern health center?"
Su Jinhui's face turned serious when she mentioned this matter. After much analysis, she told the team leader, "It's been so long since I arrived at the military hospital, but there haven't been many changes. I made this request because I've seen in Kyoto how important a truly modern hospital is to the local people. That's why I'm making this suggestion."
"It's definitely not because I'm a doctor and want to find a better place for myself to conduct experiments that I have this idea."
"The military hospital also needs to be reformed. If this modern health center is built, the two hospitals can be merged."
"In terms of resources and medical conditions alone, military hospitals are no longer comparable to better hospitals."
"Moreover, modern health centers can actually provide better medical care to families in need and better serve grassroots workers."
"To be frank, military hospitals primarily serve military personnel. So what options do ordinary people have when they get sick?"
"When I was in Kyoto, I went to the southwest to participate in rescue efforts for an unknown epidemic. There, I saw that many people living in the mountains didn't have any proper medical knowledge. You could say they were still somewhat superstitious. This also made me realize that many people who have never been to school and have no education have very little knowledge in this area."
"Modern health centers are not only there to treat illnesses and save lives, but they also serve as a platform for public awareness, letting people know that scientific treatments are the only way to save lives, rather than worshipping so-called folk remedies and panaceas."
Su Jinhui said so much, she didn't believe that the team leader would not be moved.
After a moment's silence, the team leader finally agreed to Su Jinhui's request. She had made a lot of contributions to the island during this period. Since she now proposed to build this modern clinic, it meant that she had her own considerations.
