Xia Songlan and her group did not participate in Jiangda's exchange activities.

Before going to An County, the staff of the Ministry of Health had already contacted An County, and when they arrived, An County had already sent a car waiting for them.

The next few days were packed with activities, including soil inspection, environment inspection, and communication with local farmers.

After several days of investigation, my grandfather and his colleagues discovered that An County is indeed very suitable for growing Chinese medicinal materials.

Moreover, it has many distinctive Chinese medicinal materials locally, such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Corydalis yanhusuo, Fritillaria thunbergii, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Gastrodia elata, etc.

Local farmers are also very experienced in planting and picking medicinal herbs.

This made the people who came here always think that it would be a good idea to set up a Chinese herbal medicine planting base in An County.

In addition, now that production is contracted to each household, growing pesticides can increase people's income. When farmers heard that they could make money by growing herbs, they became very motivated and offered suggestions.

A week later, Xia Sumu and his party finished their exchange meeting at Jiangda University and immediately rushed to An County.

After everyone put their heads together, they actually came up with dozens of feasible suggestions for future development.

Zhang Beichen's focus of observation is somewhat different from theirs, but after visiting and understanding, he has great confidence in doing business here.

The happiest person is Xia Songlan. Her suggestion originally just was a small one, but now it is very likely to become an industrial chain that drives the development of the masses.

Grandpa was also very happy. He met his junior sister whom he hadn't seen for more than 20 years.

That is the youngest disciple accepted by Xia Songlan’s great grandfather.

She is more than 20 years younger than my grandfather and only a few years older than Zhou Sanning.

She is a very gentle southern woman.

But unlike her appearance, she is extremely capable and speaks in a sonorous and fast voice.

I was so excited to see my grandpa that tears filled my eyes before I could say anything.

Grandpa was also very excited, repeating again and again, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..."

The two seemed to have a lot to say, but everything was left unsaid.

Grandpa sighed for a few words and called Xia Songlan, "Songlan, this is your Grandma Liu. You must write down Grandma Liu's contact information. Your mother and she are very good friends.

Besides, your grandmother Liu is an expert in gynecology. If you can learn a few tricks from her, you will definitely make great progress in gynecology."

Grandma Liu waved her hands and said, "Brother, you are exaggerating again. I am not as good as you say. You are the one who has all the skills."

Then he looked at Xia Songlan kindly, "This is Sang Ning's daughter. I didn't expect she's already this big."

She looked through Xia Songlan as if she was looking at another person, "Yeah! Looks like, there is indeed a shadow of Sang Ning in his eyes and eyebrows.

I remember the last time I saw Sang Ning, she was still in a relationship. More than 20 years have passed, and her child has grown up."

Then he pulled over a girl who was about 25 or 26 years old, "Brother, do you still recognize her? This is Qingqing, my daughter.

He has been studying medicine with me, and has also gone to the city for further studies. Now he works in our town health center.

I also specialize in gynecology.”

Liu Qingqing completely inherited Grandma Liu's beautiful appearance, and her every frown and smile even has more of the charm of a southern girl.

The voice was even gentler. "Hello, Uncle Master. I always hear my mother mention you. Every time she mentions you, she will look in the direction of the capital and stand there for a long time."

"Hey, this is Qingqing. When I sent you away, she was still in her cradle, and now she's grown so big.

"Where is Xiao Chen? What is he doing now? How is his health? I remember when you left the capital, Xiao Chen had tuberculosis. Is he better now?"

The Xiao Chen that grandpa mentioned was Grandma Liu’s lover, but when Grandma Liu heard grandpa’s question, her eyes flickered and she avoided it for a moment, and the smile on her face was also sad.

After a long silence, he slowly said, "Ten years ago, he couldn't make it, and after a parade in the streets, he jumped into the lake.

But even though the person died, they forced us to divorce and draw a clear line.

We were an orphan and a widow, and had no other options, not even a single relative around us. We had no choice but to divorce him the day after we buried him.

Qingqing later took my surname, Liu.

I also moved to Baijia Village with Qingqing and became a barefoot doctor. Now my life is very peaceful. ”

Grandpa sighed again and wiped the tears from his face, "Don't mention it, don't mention it, Junior Sister, why don't you come back to the capital with me! I will take care of you."

Grandma Liu smiled and wiped away the tears from her eyes, then shook her head, “Brother, I’m fine here now.

Aren't you going to build a Chinese medicine production base here? For so many years, I have been working on this land all day and have also studied herbal medicine.

If you don't mind, I'd like to bring Qingqing here to help you grow Chinese herbs."

Grandpa quickly said, “No, no, no, there are many people who grow Chinese medicine, but you are my only junior sister.

When my father passed away, he kept talking about you. He said that he shouldn't have sent you away and let you be with Xiao Chen. "

Before he finished speaking, Grandma Liu's voice was already choked with sobs, "I am sorry to Master. I am too ashamed to go back and see him."

Xia Songlan was afraid that grandpa would be too excited, so she tried to comfort him, "Grandpa, we still have to stay here for a while, you can chat with Grandma Liu more, don't get excited.

Transportation is so developed now, we can come whenever we want, and it will be very convenient for Grandma Liu to visit us."

Liu Qingqing also said, "Yes, Uncle Master. Mom, don't get too excited. Have you forgotten that you have a bad heart?"

When Grandpa heard that Grandma Liu had a bad heart, he hurriedly pulled her to sit down and said, "Hurry, hurry, don't get excited. Calm down. I'll take your pulse."

Then he said to Xia Songlan, "You and your Uncle Qingqing go out for a walk. I'll talk to your Grandma Liu."

The two girls smiled at each other and left the room, leaving the old couple alone.

Xia Songlan looked at Liu Qingqing, who seemed like Lin Daiyu from Dream of the Red Chamber, delicate and beautiful, with every frown and smile making her endearing.

When he spoke, he couldn't help but lower his voice. "The water in An County is really nourishing. Senior Uncle Qingqing has great skin and is even more beautiful."

Liu Qingqing lowered her head and smiled, "Song Lan, just call me Qingqing. Calling me uncle-master makes me sound old.

I don’t look much older than Woad.”

Xia Songlan was stunned and hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, you look younger than me, how can you call me old? You call my grandfather Uncle, according to seniority, I should call you Uncle."

Liu Qingqing pouted, revealing a shy look that didn't match her age, "I just followed my mother's call."

Xia Songlan was speechless, "I also call you that as Grandpa does."

"Okay then." Liu Qingqing seemed aggrieved and seemed to accept the title reluctantly.

The two girls, who were originally of similar age, suddenly became silent.

Xia Songlan felt that she was usually good at talking and could usually follow up on any topic the other party brought up.

Even if the other person has no topics to talk about, I can find ones. But when I'm with Liu Qingqing, I feel inexplicably awkward and I can't even think of a topic to talk about.

Liu Qingqing didn't even bother to find a topic to talk about. She just looked up at the bare mountain, wondering what she was thinking.

"Sister Qingqing, this is the expert from Beijing City!"
