In front of the rainbow bridge not far from the garbage nest market.

Ignoring the troubles next to me, Su Mu looked at Zhang Xuehu quietly, and Qi Dong listened beside me.

There were only three of them here, and the rest were all standing far away. No one dared to get close, let alone eavesdropping.

No one will pursue anything he says.

"Old man, tell me what you have.

Don’t have any worries, don’t feel embarrassed, I want to hear what you think.”

Su Mu asked with a gentle expression.

Who is this person in front of you?

Zhang Xuehu actually didn't know at all and couldn't guess it, but he thought that Huangfu Ge had to listen to him just now, and that Huangfu Ge could make the secretary of Zhongji City obedient while he was talking. This shows that this person's identity should not be simple.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuehu asked intently:

"Can I know who you are?"

"Of course!"

Su Mu had no intention of hiding his identity, and said calmly and naturally:

"My name is Su Mu, I am the governor of our Lianshan Province. This is Qi Dong, and the vice governor in charge of agriculture in our Lianshan Province.

Old man, if you don’t believe us, you can check the Internet at any time. Should you be able to go online?"

"I don't know how to surf the internet!"

Zhang Xuehu shook his head, but what he said immediately afterwards surprised Su Mu, "Even if I can't go online, I believe what you said is true. Your identity is true. You are the governor of our Lianshan Province, and he is the vice governor!"

"How are you sure?"

Qi Dong asked curiously.

"I will not misjudgment my eyes. If you pretend, you dare not say so righteously and will not be so calm and natural.

And if you are fake, it would be impossible for the person who just now to call the Municipal Party Secretary.

And if this matter is fake, the municipal party secretary will not let Qi Shanchuan and Wang Yuewen stop through other channels."

Zhang Xuehu was very calm, "So your identity is real. Who can a person who can order the secretary of the municipal party committee at will? If he is not the governor?

And I have watched your news on TV. I was just a little confused and didn’t recognize it. Now I recognize it when I hear you say your identities and names.”

Zhang Xuehu refers to Qi Dong.

Thinking about it, Su Mu hasn't been airborne for a long time after all, and if he talks about his popularity in the news, he will definitely not be as famous as Qi Dong.

Qi Dong is the vice governor in charge of agriculture, so it is reasonable to have such a high exposure rate.

Who can be the one who can let Qi Dong follow him, if he is not the governor?

"Old man, since you already know our identity, can you tell me now?"

Su Mu smiled gently.

"Can say it!"

Zhang Xuehu faced Su Mu's question, thought for a moment, suddenly raised his head without any hesitation or concealment, and replied calmly:

"Governor Su, I am a veteran. I participated in the two wars of the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation of the People. I am a person who has lived through the death to one person.

Really, I'm going to tell you that people like me who can survive from that era will not have any grievances or complaints to society.

What qualifications do I have to complain?

Is it better than my comrades who died?”

“No!

They are all my comrades-in-arms, and they have been sacrificed a long time ago. Now the corpse has turned into bones, and the grass on the grave is almost growing into a big tree, right?"

"If I have some ability, I will not be willing to add trouble to the country and the party, because I believe in self-reliance and food and clothing.

The veterans who came through that era must have thought so in their hearts.”

"But we have to live, too, don't we?"

"I have grown Ophiopogon japonicus at home because I used to grow this one, and I originally thought that I could make money by selling this to supplement my family's income.

Who would have thought that when you came to Yingluo Town, it was like this!

I actually heard of it in the village before, but I didn't take it seriously, but now I think about it, this is actually true."

"This Sihai Company is indeed the same as what I heard, it is a company with a bad conscience.

They collect mountain goods in Yingluo Town and other towns in Pubu County in this way.

What they do is monopolize the business and give cabbage prices. They don’t let other merchants come and buy it. Isn’t this a naked crime?"

When he said this, Zhang Xuehu's old face showed a kind of confusion and disappointment, and his words revealed a strong worry, "Governor Su, Governor Qi, do you say that the country we had built with our lives was to be ruined and harmed by these people?

If they do this, if I die, I go underground to see my comrades from that year, how should I tell them?"

"Isn't it what they thought that the Pubu County town we captured?"

"Really, I feel guilty just thinking about this, and I feel like I have no face to face them.

When Lao Niu died, he grabbed my hand and said, "I really want to see what the new China looks like. How do you tell him?"

Xiao Wang was only eighteen years old when he died. He was an 18-year-old child. He died like that for this county town. If he knew this, would he be willing to die?"

As he spoke, Zhang Xuehu's face showed a strong sadness and his eyes began to become wet.

Zhang Xuehu, who had never shed tears when he was shot and was treated, saw this unfair social phenomenon and actually had the urge to cry. How unfair are you?

Seeing that Zhang Xuehu, a veteran, had such an urge to cry, Su Mu and Qi Dong felt like they were hit by a morning bell, feeling indescribable discomfort and self-blame.

Is what Zhang Xuehu said wrong?

That's right!

Maybe you would say that companies like Sihai Company can be found everywhere, but so what?

Isn’t your government the role of erasing these injustices?

If you haven't done this, can you still complain?

But such complaints were even more shocking and thought-provoking when Zhang Xuehu said it.

Imagine, if it weren't for Su Mu and Qi Dong coming today, if Huangfu Ge stood up, what would happen to Zhang Xuehu?

I will definitely sell such expensive authentic medicinal materials for 40 yuan!

What are the consequences of this?

The consequence is that Zhang Xuehu not only worked for a year in vain, but also made his family even more poor.

Is this the wonderful life that these veterans wanted to fight with blood, sweat and life?

Living is frustrated.

Dead anger.

This thing that could have been avoided became like this because of this Sihai Company.

What’s even more ridiculous is that in this process, the so-called market supervision brigade was in a mess, and they had no idea of ​​doing things for the public. They just wanted to seek personal gain for themselves and became accomplices of Sihai Company!

This is what disappoints Zhang Xuehu the most.

Su Mu could even think about Zhang Xuehu's mind at this moment. Does a market supervision brigade dare to be so unscrupulous?

If they did not have the acquiescence of the leaders above, would they dare to do this?

Who is the superior leader?

That is Pubu County.

If Pubu County has become like this, what hope do you have to make these living veterans hope?

Living is to see the new atmosphere of the new China, not to be bullied for depression.

Su Mu looked at Zhang Xuehu's disappointed face and felt a lot of emotion.

He didn't know how many veterans there were like Zhang Xuehu here, but he knew that as long as every veteran was alive, he would stand on Zhang Xuehu's side and cheer him on. If that were true, wouldn't he say how dereliction of duty were they?

In front of me was the turbid river water flowing, behind me was the crowd gathered, and beside me were white-haired veterans.

Su Mu took a breath, vomited out all the depression in his heart, stared at Zhang Xuehu's face, and said slowly and calmly:

"Uncle Zhang, I'll just call you like that.

I know that your heart is full of grievances and depression. I think that it is a company like Sihai Company that ruined the fruits of your struggle and is a blasphemy to the lives of you and your comrades.

But I ask you to believe, believe in our country and nation, and believe that our party will always be selfless and just and just!”

"I have never heard of this before that it was my dereliction of duty, and I would criticize myself about it."

“Of course, when I make self-criticism, I will also make some people pay a terrible price!

Don’t panic, don’t be angry, I’m here today, and I’m here in our Yingluo Town, in front of you and in front of countless fellow villagers.
