As a granddaughter, Su Xiaotian quickly understood Grandpa Su’s thoughts.
Grandpa Su wants to do something for the people in his hometown.
However, although their family's current conditions are pretty good, they are only limited to living a good life at home.
It would be impossible for the Su family to uproot the entire village, or even the entire Sangyu, on their own.
In this way, we can only take the wrong approach.
Su Xiaotian quickly made up her mind.
Dong Yuanzhong and others finished their meal, chatted for a while and then left.
Before leaving, Fan Shufang made an appointment to pick up Su Xiaotian in the afternoon of the sixth day.
Su Xiaotian thought that after going to Spring City, she must find suitable seedlings to bring back.
She originally planned to buy two or three pots and make some money.
But now, it seems that only one big deal can be made.
You don’t need much, just buy a dozen pots.
When these Clivias make money, they will invest all the funds in Sanyu County, especially in Nanling Village.
Use this money as start-up capital to increase the endogenous power of Nanling Village and gradually allow the people in the village to change their status quo and live a good life.
Just as Su Xiaotian guessed, Grandpa Su really wanted to make some contribution to his hometown.
In the evening, the Su family held a family meeting.
Mr. Su and his wife, as well as Mr. Su Shouwen and his wife, were not present, but everyone else was in good condition, so Grandpa Su spoke out his thoughts.
The theme of the meeting was clear, and the opinions of the children and grandchildren were solicited on whether they should go back to build their hometown in the future.
If you want to go back and build your hometown, when is the best time to go back?
This issue is a profound proposition, and no consensus was reached at this family meeting.
But one thing everyone agrees on is that we must not forget our roots and always do something for our hometown.
"Grandpa, grandma, although we have some money now, if we invest this little money, it will not have much effect." Su Xiaotian expressed her thoughts.
"What Xiaotian said is that several factories in the family have just started to make profits, and the working capital they can use is limited." Chen Zian agreed very much with Su Xiaotian's words.
"I do have some money in my hand, but it's not enough!" Su Xiaosi said that he could use some of the money, but it would only be a drop in the bucket.
My grandfather’s wish was to let all the villagers live a good life, and this was not a problem that a small amount of money could solve.
"Actually, I think there is still a foundation for the development of our hometown." Qi Liangying suddenly spoke and said something different from what others thought.
"Second daughter-in-law, tell me what you think?" Grandpa Su obviously did not expect that the person expressing support would be Qi Liangying, who has always been the least aware of the overall situation.
"There were breeding farms before our brigade. If the breeding farms had been managed well at that time, perhaps everyone's life would be much easier now."
Qi Liangying expressed his thoughts. When the breeding farm was abandoned, Qi Liangying felt uncomfortable.
"But at that time, it was hard to sell eggs and anything else, and the chicken cake factory in the county was almost out of business." Grandma Su felt that the second daughter-in-law's ideas were too simple.
"Mom, I heard someone said that the Egg Cake Factory can no longer sustain itself and will probably go bankrupt soon."
When Qi Liangying talked about the bankruptcy of the egg cake factory, she felt mixed emotions.
When she first left, if she had heard the news that the Egg Cake Factory was going bankrupt, she would have been extremely happy.
However, now she thinks that so many people will lose their jobs due to the bankruptcy of the egg cake factory, and may even have problems eating, she still feels a little bit unbearable.
"Second mother, do you mean that if this factory can be revived, the breeding industry can also be developed?" Su Xiaotian asked.
Qi Liangying shook his head.
"The breeding farms have closed down, and so have the chicken cake factories. In the final analysis, it's not that the supply of eggs is sufficient, it's not that the supply of meat is sufficient, or that people don't like to eat chicken cakes, but it's caused by poor management."
She feels that the small shop she runs is very good.
After these hours of training, she is no longer the same as before.
The two elders of the Su family looked at each other. What their daughter-in-law said was right, but after she said it, why was it the same as if she hadn't said it?
Qi Liangying said with a smile: "I have never read a book, and I don't know much about the situation. I just feel that if I want to live a good life, I still have to rely on my own efforts."
"Our family can help, but if our family does everything, we may end up feeling thankless and complaining in the end."
Su Xiaotian never expected that Qi Liangying could say such insightful words.
In my previous life, I have seen countless examples like this. If you really do everything, what you will get in the end will definitely not be gratitude, but blame.
Only when people live a good life through their own efforts can they truly appreciate it.
Getting something for nothing is never the right way to open a business.
"Second Mom, you are absolutely right. We cannot simply think about leading the people in the village to live a good life, but we must guide them to live a good life through their own efforts."
"It's not that easy. We can't just teach everyone to open a restaurant!" Grandpa Su said, shaking his head.
The people in the village have a difficult life because they have no skills or knowledge.
"Grandpa, it's okay. It doesn't matter if they don't have skills. Let's find a way to let them learn skills."
"Then we have to hire a teacher for them." Grandma Su said with a gentle smile.
"What if people don't want to learn? We can't force them to learn, right?" Su Laoer hesitated before saying.
Besides, what should people do if they suspect that the old Su family has bad intentions?
"It doesn't matter. We can always find a way. It's just that our family members are all outside now, so we have to find someone to take charge of this matter."
Su Xiaotian felt melancholy about this matter.
No matter what you do, it will definitely not work if no one is responsible. This matter is not like in a factory, where you can just hire reliable people to solve it.
Things in the village must be carried out only if the people in the village are responsible.
"This is easy. When I go back and tell the village party secretary, it will definitely work."
Su Laoer spoke directly and helped find the candidate.
Su Jiujiu is now the village party secretary of Nanling Village. Su Laoer thinks that this candidate should be Su Jiujiu.
Grandpa Su twirled his beard and nodded: "What I said is right. Since it is a matter in the village, we will look for it for a long time."
"Through Uncle Jiujiu, we started in Nanling Village and then expanded to other villages." Su Xiaotian said with a smile.
"I don't think we should look for other things. Let the women in the village do needlework first. The women in the village can make headdresses, hairbands and other things like Jianhong's."
Liang Xiu suddenly thought of this and thought it was very feasible.
Although it doesn't make much money, it's better than nothing. It doesn't delay doing other jobs, and people who want to come to the village can happily accept it.
"Mom, this is a good idea."
"Xiaotian, do you think so many people want to wear headdresses?" Grandma Su said worriedly.
Grandma Su doesn't think it's too much just for Li Jianhong and a few people to make it, but what if the women in Nanling Village start making it and it doesn't sell?
Wouldn’t that mean losing money?
But don’t let the folks lose money before you make money.
