Chapter 157: Spiritual Poverty Alleviation and Enrichment
"Child..." Second Aunt looked at Gu Chang with tears in her eyes, feeling very distressed.
This child almost grew up in front of me!
His mother died early when he was a child, and his father Gu Jianguo was busy, so he grew up eating at many people's homes!
Whenever the old brothers in the village who had a good relationship with Gu Jianguo made something delicious, they would ask Gu Chang to go and try it.
Sometimes Gu Jianguo came back late and Gu Chang was already asleep at someone else's house.
In everyone's eyes, Gu Chang is half their own child!
Second Aunt Gu was very caring towards Gu Chang and always raised him as her own son! When he was a child, many of his clothes and shoes were bought by Second Aunt!
This kid is also very capable. He is the only college student in Shangouzi Village in all these years. Among these old brothers, who wouldn't be proud of him?
Second Aunt Gu still remembers that on the day when Gu Chang's college entrance examination results came out, Gu Guoqing and Gu Jianguo, two old brothers from the same village, got drunk!
When Gu Guoqing fell drunk and was helped home by his second aunt, there was a smile on his face...
Everyone is really happy for this child!
After all the hard work, I can finally get out of this small mountain village and live a good life!
Gu Jianguo is a man who values friendship and loyalty, and Gu Chang is also a man who knows how to repay kindness!
Second Aunt Gu especially understood Gu Jianguo. She understood that he led everyone to grow fruit trees and become rich. She understood that he was willing to hold all the contracts in his own hands and did not want these old brothers to lose all their life savings!
She also understood Gu Chang and why he wanted to come back here, to this small mountain village.
Because he was born and raised here, and because so many people have been kind to him, he wants to come back to repay the kindness shown over the years.
However, there are always some people who are jealous and cannot bear to see others living better than themselves!
When Gu Jianguo became rich, they looked at him with envy; when Gu Chang was admitted to university, they looked at him with jealousy; when the fruit trees suffered heavy losses, they became ferocious, crazy and ugly!
When Gu Chang came back some time ago, some people in the village gossiped about him and made sarcastic remarks, saying that he came back because he couldn't make it out there!
Now that Gu Chang is making money and living a good life, they all come to him with a shameless look on their faces hoping to work for him!
These days, many people in the village came to Gu Guoqing and Aunt Gu, hoping that they would help them put in a word and let them work under Gu Chang.
They were all rejected by Gu Guoqing and Second Aunt!
Even Aunt Li San, who had the foulest mouth and slandered Gu Chang and his son behind their backs all day long, had the nerve to come over here and ask Aunt Gu Er for help and find a job!
Aunt Gu was so angry that she almost picked up a basin of vegetable washing water and poured it on her face!
How could there be such a shameless person?
So Second Aunt Gu understands Gu Chang, he is just a kid who just graduated from college!
He has pain, sadness, and sorrow!
This child has had a very hard life since his father left!
Today, seeing Gu Chang say these words, Second Aunt Gu was particularly happy!
Some words are better to be said out loud! Saying them out loud will make you feel better!
……
"Brother Chang, don't worry, we are here. We will accompany you and prove it to them together! Together we will lead these families out of poverty and into prosperity!"
Wang Xianye patted Gu Chang on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile.
"Xiao Gu, thank you for your hard work these days!" Secretary Liu also stood up, patted Gu Chang, and said seriously.
These people had no idea that Gu Chang had so many things on his mind!
Ask yourself, if you were Gu Chang, you would be the same as Gu Chang, or even more extreme, and hate these villagers to the core!
"Alas! There are so many poor areas in this 800-li Qinchuan area. It's not only because of economic poverty, but also because of spiritual poverty!" Deputy County Mayor Wang sighed.
"We are very lucky to have young people like you come to these mountains to not only help the villagers increase production and income, but also help them see a bigger and better world!"
"Break down narrow-mindedness and closedness, broaden their horizons, and civilize their thoughts!"
"This is the ultimate goal of poverty alleviation work!"
After listening to what Deputy County Magistrate Wang said, Wu Qingmeng seemed to be back in the classroom at Renmin University.
In her first college class, the white-haired old professor spoke to the students in the audience with deep emotion.
"Broaden their knowledge, broaden their horizons, improve their thinking, and structure their knowledge!"
"Enrich the experience of the eyes, ears, mouth, body, and mind, and then you will know the beginning and end of civilization, the general trend of the world, and the differences and similarities of local customs and human sentiments."
"Letting go can help us get rid of the shackles of thought, break through narrow-minded ideas, liberate our minds, and get rid of poverty and become rich spiritually..."
