Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

Chapter 619: There is another person I admire the most

three days later.

Li Zhenmin took Hu Yong and Li Wanying to the countryside to pick up Liu Cuifang's children and grandchildren. Zhang Huaiyuan also sent a secretary to accompany them.

The secretary's name is Sun Chengwen, and this trip is naturally under the name of Zhang Huaiyuan, so he can play a decisive role at a critical moment.

There were two cars for the four people, one for Li Zhenmin and Sun Chengwen, and one for Li Wanying and Hu Yong. All four of them could drive and they could take turns along the way.

Because the roads nowadays are not as well developed as those in later generations, the road becomes bumpy after leaving Sijiu City.

Because of what happened back then and Chao Guoxing's position, the children of Chao Guoxing and Liu Cuifang were sent far away, not to the vicinity of the old city, but to the northeast, which was equivalent to reclaiming wasteland.

People of this era know what it means to reclaim wasteland. It is an even more difficult life than going to the countryside. In some places, even the local villages and towns do not have much management, and everyone is responsible for their own harvest and production.

In addition, some people are convicted, so the conditions are even more difficult.

Even some generals who had been vigorous on the battlefield decades ago were swept away in the storm and exiled to the Northeast to open up wasteland. Some of them even unfortunately died during these years of opening up wasteland.

Of course, there is also good news, that is, Chao Guoxing's children were exiled together and not separated. If they were separated, one to the northeast, one to the northwest, and one to the southwest, it would be very annoying. So this is a blessing in disguise.

The reason why Liu Cuifang was able to stay in Beijing and live with Li Zhenmin all these years was mainly because she had been retired for several years at that time, and she had some help from Xu Jingshan.

If it weren't for these, Liu Cuifang would probably have died long ago.

The vehicle drove out of Sijiu City and headed north.

Because of the road conditions, it took the four of them two days of travel to reach Jiangliao Province.

Along the way, Li Wanying and Hu Yong finally got a preliminary glimpse of what the outside world was like, and their concepts had undergone tremendous changes along the way.

The two young people have been enjoying life under Li Zhenmin's protection over the years. They have never worried about food and clothing, and even the hunger they experienced in their childhood has been alleviated.

But this time, the gray and dilapidated scenes they saw along the way made the two young men feel uneasy for a long time. How backward this was.

They thought they had experienced hardship when they were young, but when they came to other places outside the capital, they found that they were really lucky.

Hu Yong even had the urge to slap himself in the face. What had he done in the past few years to be so desperate for a woman and say such shameless words? He even felt jealous of Li Zhenmin.

Of course, it was not just Li Wanying and Hu Yong who were shocked. Even Li Zhenmin, who had been mentally prepared, also felt a lot.

Some things and some scenes are far less shocking when imagined in your mind than when you see them with your own eyes.

After all, I have stayed in Beijing for too long.

“There is really a lot of work to be done.”

When entering Jiangliao Province, on a rural road section, Li Zhenmin stopped the car and went to the toilet on the side of the road, and couldn't help but sigh.

Sun Chengwen, who was standing by, also got out of the car. His face was full of seriousness. He stared at the village ahead for a long time before retracting his gaze and nodded: "Yes, no matter what era it was, the common people suffered the most. I spent some time in the countryside a few years ago, but seeing these things here still makes me feel a little depressed."

He turned around and looked at Li Zhenmin, and said with a smile: "In this era, anyone can be missing, but you researchers are the real pillars and are worthy of respect."

As if remembering something, he said with emotion: "Director Zhang has also suffered a lot. He often taught me that farmers are the cornerstone of a country, workers are the steel and cement of a country, and you researchers are the souls responsible for making everything simpler and better."

"Some of you may be working in the lab all the time, and some may envy you, but in fact, aren't you also on the front lines of the war every day?"

"The motherland will rise sooner or later, but when and whether it will rise quickly or slowly actually depends on you guys. If you are one second faster, you can burn some people to death."

"If there is reincarnation and merit, I think you guys are the first to become saints."

"I haven't had that much contact with you, but I have known and met quite a few of you. So far, there are two people I admire the most. One is you. Not only because you developed an anti-liver cancer drug and saved countless lives, but also because you have created infinite possibilities."

Li Zhenmin just listened without saying anything. He was neither humble nor proud. He just listened quietly.

Li Wanying and Hu Yong had walked over at some point and listened carefully to Sun Chengwen's words.

After hearing Sun Chengwen praising Li Zhenmin, Hu Yong couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle Sun, who is the other one?"

In his current understanding, Li Zhenmin is already the most powerful person in the world, but Sun Chengwen just mentioned two people he admires the most, one of whom is Li Zhenmin, so who is the other one? He is very curious about this.

Sun Chengwen turned around, looked towards the south, and murmured, "There is a man there, rooted in the countryside, leading a group of people to fight against the heavens and the earth..."

He turned around and looked at Li Wanying and Hu Yong, and said with a smile: "Do you know how many people have starved to death since the founding of the People's Republic of China? How many people have starved to death in the three years of natural disasters?"

"In the city of Beijing, you have only seen people starving, but you have never seen people eating tree bark, grass, or even eating dirt when there is nothing to eat, right?"

"I have seen it. I have seen people eating dirt because they were too hungry. Some died because they ate too much and couldn't defecate. I even heard their last words before they died, saying that God was unfair and that they would not be human in their next life."

Sun Chengwen was talking to himself, and unknowingly his eyes were moist.

Li Wanying and Hu Yong also swallowed their saliva secretly, and their scalps gradually tightened.

After a moment, Sun Chengwen calmed down a bit and continued, "But in southern Hunan, there is a scientist named Yuan who leads a group of people who are trying to snatch people from the heavens and the devil. They work in the farmland every day to study and experiment on how to increase grain production."

"Just four years ago, he made a breakthrough and successfully developed a new hybrid rice that increased grain production. Although it is not possible to completely achieve grain surplus for the entire country, they have been working hard."

"I believe that one day in the future, they will make sure that people all over the country and even the world will no longer be hungry."

"In my opinion, he will definitely go down in history and become a saint. Even if all the emperors in history are forgotten, his name will not be forgotten."

The more Sun Chengwen spoke, the more excited he became, and his breathing became rapid.

It can be seen from his tone and expression that that person is much more important to him than Li Zhenmin.
