Chapter 432 I can only say sorry in my heart

"What do you mean?" Su Xuanhu looked at his granddaughter with some confusion, wanting to know why she felt this way.

Su Mei smiled and explained, "Grandpa, I think you have been too nervous. Although you have agreed to grow herbs, you are not completely sure and confident deep down, right? And you are also worried about whether it is really safe and reliable to do so!"

"You're right, girl. I am indeed a little nervous. After all, this matter is of great importance, and I can't be completely at ease for a while." Su Xuanju couldn't deny this.

In fact, it was not just Su Xuanju. Su Mei's parents and brothers were also feeling anxious and worried.

They did not firmly support Su Mei from the beginning, but because of their trust in Su Mei, they chose to overcome their inner doubts and follow the direction Su Mei said.

For these ordinary people, this is a necessary psychological journey. When faced with economic reform, they need time to adapt to the uncertainty brought about by such changes.

Only by constantly moving forward, experiencing and witnessing the results themselves, can their hearts gradually become stronger.

However, Su Mei cannot give them a "reassurance pill" and tell them that everything will go well. She knows that if she wants to truly reassure everyone, she can only prove that her decision is correct through results.

This will take time to prove. Others can get through it if they hold on, but Su Mei is more worried about Su Xuanhu.

As a person, once you get older, you should not always keep things in your heart. Otherwise, over time, these things will become like a stone pressing on your heart. Over time, this stone will become bigger and bigger, and finally make you feel suffocated.

Doing so will not only make your mood heavy, but your body will also be dragged down.

Seeing that Grandpa always had a frown on his face, Su Mei regretted that she had let her family embark on this reform path too early. She said softly, "Grandpa, if you really can't accept it, why don't we just stop growing medicinal herbs and wait and see?"

"But..." Su Xuanhu sighed deeply, "Didn't you say that there are soldiers who are in urgent need of medicine? We can wait, but they can't!"

When Su Xuanhu thought of the patients who were waiting to be saved by herbal medicine, he felt a sense of responsibility and mission. He knew that these herbs meant hope and life to the patients. So he clenched his fists tightly and made up his mind to keep going.

"No," he said firmly, "We must grow medicinal herbs, and we must grow them well! This is our responsibility and our mission as doctors! We are doing a good thing, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Are you really not afraid?" Su Mei asked with a smile.

Su Xuanhu thought for a moment, a hint of determination flashed across his eyes, and he replied:

"No, actually I'm not worried about myself. I'm mainly worried about you and your brothers!"

He sighed softly and continued, "I am already an old man, I am not afraid of going through any more storms, I will be reduced to dust sooner or later anyway.

But you are different. You are still young. I am afraid that my unintentional appearance will affect your life.

But then again, if you don’t dare to wander around, you are not a young person. Being young means you have to be brave enough to fight. No matter how difficult the road is, you have Grandpa by your side. ”

"Grandpa, there must be a smooth road ahead, and it must be easy to walk on. Thank you for being willing to accompany us!" Seeing Su Xuanju's determined eyes, Su Mei knew that the will in his heart had already overcome that hurdle, and her heart could not help but be moved.

She knew that with a strong will, Su Xuanju would no longer feel afraid.

Since the old man said he was no longer afraid, naturally the other people in the family were also full of fighting spirit.

They followed Su Xuanju's footsteps closely, as if there was an endless power supporting them to move forward.

Because the mountains they were going to were getting farther and farther away, in order to save time, when they went out this time, Bai Xiaofang packed food for the whole family and asked Su Yongcang to take it over.

The sun gradually rose higher, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness to the forest. The family carefully searched for precious medicinal herbs in the mountains. Their eyes were sharp and focused, not missing any place where medicinal herbs might be hidden.

After half a day's hard work, they finally found some of the herbs they were looking for, but not enough, so they decided to take a break and then continue looking.

At noon, the sun was high in the sky and the weather was getting hot. The family found a flat area on the mountain, picked up branches and started a fire to heat up the food. The flames licked the bottom of the pot, and the water in the pot began to boil, emitting bursts of steam. Everyone sat together and shared a simple lunch. After the meal, they rested for a while under the shade of the trees?

After lunch, the sun was still scorching, but the family did not stop. They went into the forest again to continue looking for the remaining herbs. As time passed, the sun gradually set in the west, and a touch of orange-red sunset appeared on the horizon. When the sun set in the west, they walked back home with a full harvest.

Before arriving home, the eldest and second brothers delivered the herbs to the homes of the third and fourth brothers.

The next day, the third and fourth brothers could plant the medicinal herbs in the fields.

Su Mei, Su Xuanhu, Huo Jianguo and Su Yongcang went straight home.

When they were almost at the door of their house, they were surprised to find that the small yard was crowded with people.

These people were all dressed in neat Zhongshan suits and looked very formal. One could tell at a glance that they were not from the countryside.

In addition to these well-dressed people, there was also a group of villagers outside the Su family's door who were watching the excitement.

"Why are there so many people?" Su Mei frowned and asked in confusion.

Huo Jianguo shook his head, saying he didn't know the reason: "I don't know, could it be because of our family's planting of Chinese medicinal herbs?"

As they were talking, several people had already arrived at their doorstep.

At this time, the person standing in front of the Su family's door was Du Erniang, who had an injury in the mouth.

When she saw Su Mei returning, an expression of pride was hard to conceal.

She stared at Su Mei with a schadenfreude and sneered, "Humph, we let you engage in speculation and profiteering, and now, people from the town and the county have come to our village, and you and your whole family can just prepare to go to jail!

You really deserve it. Let's see if you dare to do it again in the future... This is what we call evildoers will be punished by God."

"It was you who went to file the complaint, right?" Su Mei looked at Du Er Niang coldly, and that look seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Du Erniang's eyes darted around at first out of guilt, but then she regained her confidence and said with her chest puffed out, "So what if I was the one who reported it? Who told you to do bad things? Everyone is responsible for reporting speculation."

She thought to herself that Su Mei and her friends would definitely be in trouble this time, after all, this was a crime of speculation! Moreover, it was people in the county who knew about this matter. People in the county would not turn a blind eye to Su Mei and her friends like Jiang Guangzong did.

Thinking of this, Du Erniang smiled smugly and continued, "Humph, just wait to be arrested! The people in this county will not get used to you. They will not be like Jiang Guangzong and vent their anger on you. There will always be someone who can deal with you."

Su Mei was too lazy to bother with Du Erniang, so she just glanced at her and ignored her. Then, she quickly walked into the yard.

As soon as she entered the door, Su Mei found that many people had gathered in the courtyard, and the scene was extremely lively. Everyone was sitting around, and the small benches and wooden piles that were originally used for resting at home were also occupied by people, leaving no free space.

Jiang Guangzong was chatting enthusiastically with these people.

Bai Xiaofang stood behind Jiang Guangzong at a loss. She had not seen much of the world and did not know how to communicate with these leaders. She was even a little frightened.

Seeing Su Mei coming back, Jiang Guangzong immediately stood up, walked quickly to the door to greet her, brought her in front of everyone, and introduced her to everyone: "Dear leaders, this is Su Mei from our village!"

Hearing this, Su Mei couldn't help but frown, but still greeted everyone with a polite smile. Then, the middle-aged man with a big backcombed hair also smiled and nodded to show his acquaintance. It turned out that this man was the secretary of the township and had met Su Mei before. He also said that he often saw reports about Su Mei in the newspapers. She was the number one model figure in the county and a hero in the village!

"I just did the best I could, and did some small things within my power. I'm not a role model, let alone a hero." Su Mei was humble at first, and then asked Jiang Guangzong, "Secretary Jiang, what are you talking about?"

"Su Mei, these are leaders from the town and the county." Jiang Guangzong introduced the two leaders to Su Mei. One was the top leader of the town, and the other was the person in charge of the county's economy. After the introduction, Jiang Guangzong continued,

"After hearing that you had returned from Yanjing, they wanted to come and ask about your situation in Yanjing, mainly to ask about the developments in Yanjing.

You have already told me the general content, and I have also conveyed it to all leaders. I just want to see if you have any suggestions for the development of our county?"

Any suggestions? After hearing this, Su Mei understood that the leaders from the town and the county were not coming home to hold her accountable.

Although she knew that the policy had changed and it was okay to grow medicinal herbs, the local governments had not yet relaxed the policy. Seeing that no one was pursuing the matter, Su Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for suggestions, Su Mei has none. Although she comes from the future, she has no research on economic development.

Relying on some understanding of the future situation, Su Mei had no problem making a small fortune on her own.

She doesn't have the confidence to give guidance in the general direction.

If the leaders insisted on asking, Su Mei would tell them as much as possible about what she had seen, heard and learned in Yanjing.

The leaders were quite serious. Su Mei was just talking casually, but they all took up their notebooks and started taking notes.

Su Mei knew what these leaders were thinking.

They just want to understand the external situation more quickly and make the local economy develop and prosper as soon as possible.

Although the policy has been issued, they still have no direction and are very blind in their minds.

Seeing how serious the leaders were, Su Mei felt that she couldn't say anything and felt very embarrassed.

After careful consideration, she offered some personal thoughts on the initial development after the reform and opening up:

"Leaders, I think we can start with agriculture, encouraging farmers to grow more food and cash crops and improve agricultural production efficiency. At the same time, we can introduce some advanced agricultural technologies and equipment to promote agricultural modernization."

"In addition, industry is also an important area. We can increase support for enterprises, provide preferential policies and financial support, attract more investment, and promote the industrialization process. At the same time, we must focus on scientific and technological innovation, cultivate high-quality talents, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises."

"There is also the tourism industry. We have unique natural scenery and historical and cultural resources here. We can vigorously develop the tourism industry, create special attractions and tourist routes, and attract tourists to visit and consume. This will not only drive local economic development, but also increase employment opportunities."

"Of course, infrastructure construction must also keep up. Transportation, communications and other aspects need to be improved to facilitate people's travel and communication. There is a saying that goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first. Social undertakings such as education and medical care cannot be ignored either, so that the people can enjoy better living conditions."

Su Mei said a lot in one breath.

Finally, he added: "Leaders, these are just some immature suggestions based on my personal perspective. It is up to you to decide how to develop it.

Anyway, economic liberalization has its benefits. We can vigorously promote the development of all walks of life, allowing some people to get rich first, and then let the rich lead the poor to get richer. "

"How can it be immature? I think these suggestions are very classic. Comrade Su Mei should not be modest." The man with the slicked-back hair took over Su Mei's words. He looked at his own writing skills and said very seriously:

“Your suggestions are very good. Not only are they good suggestions, but some of the sayings are also very classic, such as if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if the rich first lead the poor later.

These words are all classic quotes and contain very profound truths.

Comrade Su Mei is indeed someone who often appears in newspapers. You are truly remarkable."

Great? No no no.

At this moment, Su Mei wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Her face turned red with shame, like a ripe apple.

How could such profound words come from her?

She just heard so many slogans and slogans about getting rich in her daily life that she just said them naturally when she opened her mouth.

…………

When she said this, she didn't consider the impact of her words.

Who said that? Su Mei could only cry out inwardly, "I'm sorry."

These slogans, which may sound ordinary to modern people, had a great and powerful influence when they were first put forward.

Su Mei secretly warned herself to be more careful with her words in the future.
