The villagers sat in the house, quietly listening to the news on the radio.
At 8:30 in the evening, Shen Annian turned off the radio and asked everyone to go back.
Sun Hongye suddenly sighed, "I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to visit Beijing in this lifetime."
Li Fengxia had a good relationship with her and spoke without much scruples, "What good things are you thinking about? How can we be so lucky to be able to go to Beijing?
I think you've made money now, and you've become arrogant and want anything."
Sun Hongye pursed her lips, not knowing what to say to refute her.
She was just feeling emotional and suddenly said this. In fact, in her heart, she also felt that she had no chance to go to Beijing.
When Shen Annian heard what they said, she smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. There will be opportunities in the future. We can go anywhere in the future."
Transportation is inconvenient now. If they want to go to Beijing, they have to change several buses and take a train for more than 30 hours.
But in later generations, transportation is much more convenient. With high-speed rail and airplanes, it only takes a few hours to reach Beijing.
Such convenient transportation and such a prosperous motherland are created by people like them through decades of hard work and the efforts of generation after generation.
Li Fengxia half-believed and half-doubted, "Will that day really come? The farthest I've ever walked was to the county seat. It would be wonderful if one day we could go wherever we want."
She has listened to a lot of news these days, has a better understanding of the outside world, and is very yearning for the outside world.
"It will happen. In the near future, everyone will be able to drive a car, take a train, or board a plane to any corner of the world they want to go.
By then, we won’t have to suffer from hunger or cold, and we will be able to eat meat, eggs and milk every day.
There is no need to worry if someone in your family is sick, because the government will pay for our medical treatment. Children can go to school for free, and all of them can get into college.
Our country will become stronger and stronger and will no longer be bullied. Even the Americans will not dare to touch us.
The country will eventually prosper, the nation will be rich and the people will be strong, just as countless martyrs who sacrificed their lives hoped, and they will prosper peacefully."
The villagers who had not left the house all stopped what they were doing and listened quietly to Shen Annian describing the future.
Will they live so well in the future?
Just thinking about that scene makes one's eyes red.
A villager asked her in a trembling voice, "Really? Will this day really come?"
They are too poor and miserable. Their ancestors have been so poor for generations, and they dare not imagine that such good days will come.
Shen An Nian nodded firmly, "Yes, we are very poor and miserable now, but the efforts of generation after generation will continue to develop our country.
I believe that in the next thirty or forty years, no, ten years, just ten years, you will see earth-shaking changes in our motherland.
We are all builders, and we will eventually build our motherland better."
Everyone was moved to tears and filled with passion by her words.
That’s right, everyone’s life is getting better and better.
In the past, when the country was at war, they ate grass roots and tree bark.
Now, they can have enough food to eat.
They can also read. When they received their wages and food in the past, they could not write, so they just pressed their fingerprints.
But today, when the food factory gives out money, they will write their own names.
The traces they left behind are not just fingerprints, but their names.
Things are getting better and better.
This makes them believe that one day, the future described by Shen Annian will come true.
Qin Yunxiang raised her hands and rubbed her arms vigorously, "Sister-in-law, what you said is so good, look at my goose bumps, they are all over my body.
Scholars really do speak differently, and it's really nice to hear."
Shen Anyian couldn't help laughing. She wasn't just talking, she had seen such a prosperous world.
Father Qin wiped his face, his eyes were still red.
That’s very well said. If that day really comes, he will die without regrets.
Builders, they are the builders of the motherland.
What a nice name.
While Qin's father was moved, he saw Qin's mother secretly wiping away tears out of the corner of his eye.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Mother Qin rubbed her eyes and said, "You only know how to criticize me. Don't think I didn't see you wiping away tears just now."
Father Qin's face looked a little embarrassed. He had stopped talking a long time ago, so why did this damn old woman say it out loud?
It would be so embarrassing if someone heard it.
Fortunately, the villagers didn't pay any attention to what they said, and were discussing Shen Annian's words in a high-spirited mood.
Seeing that they were unwilling to leave, Shen Anyian drove them all out and asked them to go home early to accompany the children. He then followed Qin's father and mother back home.
Qin Zhengqi received a letter from Shen Annian on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the letter, she said that the food factory was developing well, talked about Qin Xiaomei, and said that she was going to run a literacy class.
After reading the letter, Qin Zhengqi couldn't calm down for a long time.
His wife is so outstanding that he feels a lot of pressure.
If I don't work harder, I'm afraid I won't be worthy of a wife.
Zhou Yin and Liu Xianzong were also in the dormitory, their eyes fixed on the unopened package.
"Lao Qin, what delicious food did your boyfriend send you again?"
Qin Zhengqi opened the package and found two glass jars inside, containing smoked chicken and smoked rabbit. They were greasy and looked particularly delicious.
It is precisely because it is filled with oil that things can be kept for so long.
