Chapter 323 Blessing
Thanks to Gu Guangtao's invitation, Wantong didn't leave in the end and stayed overnight.
For fear that Doudou would cause trouble, they packed his things and sent them directly to his grandfather's house next door at night, under the pretext of taking him there to study.
In order to obtain first-hand information, Wantong has traveled all over the country in recent years.
He has been to many rural areas, especially those in the mountains, where even birds don't even shit. They are destitute and unruly, which makes people deeply understand what "poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people".
But in Gujia Village, the level of civilization really surprised him.
A village where cultural knowledge is popularized from top to bottom, and everyone has at least primary school education. Here, one can feel the influence of enlightenment on people's words and deeds, and experience firsthand the quality of the villagers.
Including the educated youth here, their spirits are all full of vigor and vitality. It is hard to imagine that after wasting ten years in the countryside, everyone can still maintain such enthusiasm.
Wantong stayed for a week and was reluctant to leave. He really liked this village and even had the urge to settle here in the future.
If the villagers knew about this, they would definitely try their best to stop it.
Although they no longer advocate using physical conflict to solve problems, and will not pull hair or spit, occasional verbal abuse still exists.
However, there are reporters here, and people are afraid of being photographed. Recently, everyone has been particularly peace-loving, and even enemies will keep a mysterious smile when they meet.
The old cow in the village has been in a bad mood these days because Uncle Gu is always absent-minded, looking around, and sneaking around when taking it for a walk, which makes it nervous. It can't concentrate on eating and is afraid that something will happen. It has lost several pounds.
Uncle Gu felt so distressed that he wished the reporter would leave immediately.
After this incident, the villagers' enthusiasm for acting has greatly diminished. They all lamented that this thing still depends on talent, and it is really tiring to act all day long...
The only thing to be thankful for is that the efforts were not in vain. Wantong went back and praised Gujia Village as the 'modern Utopia'. The layout was changed to a serialized article with the title "Decoding Gujia Village, the Hometown of Number One Scholars".
Yes, Xingfu got the top score in the exam. Although she took the exam in another place, when a reporter interviewed her, in addition to thanking her mentor, what she said most was to thank the villagers for their care and concern.
The college entrance examination is a major event that everyone in the country pays attention to, and any news related to it will attract attention. Moreover, it involves the difficult life experience of the top scorer, which made Gujia Village the center of discussion.
The advantage of successfully entering everyone's sight is that no one dares to touch this "cake" easily.
Originally, some people saw that the admission rate in this village was high and became interested, thinking that if one or two less students were admitted, it would not be noticed.
But when Wantong interviewed Gu Mingyue, the latter deliberately gathered all those who had passed the score line together and took a photo.
I also gave additional instructions to mark the names of these people one by one. Of course, the apparent purpose was to let the candidates' families see it and be proud of it.
It was precisely this kind of behavior that indirectly crushed some conspiracies and intrigues. Not long after, notices arrived one after another.
After the previous exam, we just had a simple pig-killing meal. This time, it was almost the New Year and the social environment was much more relaxed and open. Therefore, the village committee held a meeting and decided to hold a big event.
In addition to the buffet, various programs were also arranged.
On the first day, the villagers performed their own shows, such as singing and skits. On the second day, they showed movies. On the third day, everyone set off fireworks and celebrated the New Year. It was very lively.
The Bai family and the Zhang family all came over to experience this happy atmosphere. The adults were having a great time, not to mention the children, who were having a blast.
The female comrades were fine, but the male educated youth were forced to drink alcohol every day in the past two days.
Everyone has gotten along very well in the past few years, but the villagers know very well that the children in the village will return home, and these educated youth, like eagles flying into the sky, will only fly farther and higher, and the chance of meeting again is slim.
However, people at this time rarely show their feelings on the surface, but only express their reluctance implicitly by toasting each other.
Liu Gaiwa sat at the other end of the table with Gu Mingyue. While pouring her a drink, he looked at the educated youth and said, "They are really popular and have good relationships with the villagers. Unlike me, the only person I can talk to is you, the Party Secretary."
Sun Shugao sat opposite him and paused while eating. Was he not a human? ?
No matter how dumb he was, he could sense the sarcasm in Liu Gaiwa's words. Past experience told him that in order to avoid being implicated, it would be better to get away from him as soon as possible, so he used the excuse of going to the bathroom and successfully escaped.
Gu Mingyue: She didn't remember making tea, so how could she smell the fragrance of 'tea'...
The person next to him continued to say, "Secretary, will I be laughed at for not signing up for the college entrance examination? Do you think I am worse than them?"
Although she knew that this guy did it on purpose, facing that innocent face, Gu Mingyue said in a lustful manner, "It's unfair for you to compare your shortcomings with others' strengths. Your talent for painting is unmatched. You don't need to compare yourself with others, you are the best."
Liu Gaiwa was coaxed into submission in an instant, but she still said, "I just don't think I'm as smart as them, Secretary, please don't look down on me."
Gu Mingyue held her forehead with her hand. Did this guy open up his Ren and Du meridians? Why did it feel like his rank was evolving so fast...
Alas, I am tired, so I just pour a glass of water. "If there is no green tea, I have plain water. Just drink some to moisten your throat."
"It's okay, Secretary. I don't like drinking tea."
Gu Mingyue: Yes, I probably drank too much...
Zeng Min led a group of educated youth to come over, and then said sincerely, "Secretary, I have always wanted to thank you solemnly. Thank you for your care over the years, thank you for your encouragement of our studies. Without you, even if we returned to Beijing, we would be humiliated and would never be as prominent and proud as we are now. I know you don't like sensationalism, so please allow us to toast you a glass of wine. We won't say anything, it's all in the wine."
Gu Mingyue smiled with relief, said nothing, took the wine glass and drank it all, expressing her meaning with her actions.
Zeng Min couldn't help but shed tears at the thought of separation, and choked up and said, "Secretary, why don't you say something to us again? I'm afraid I won't be able to hear you in the future."
Gu Mingyue slapped her on the forehead and said, "You crow's mouth. Why do you seem to be cursing me on such a happy day?"
At this time, other candidates also came over and shouted a few words.
Gu Mingyue did not spoil the fun, and immediately stood on the stool and said loudly, "To be where we are today, it is all due to your own efforts. I will not take credit for it. However, seeing that each of you has a promising future, as the village party secretary, I am proud of you. Here, I would like to take this opportunity to say to everyone: I hope that each of you has a road under your feet and light in the distance, and from now on, wherever you set foot, it will be a smooth road. I hope that you can have the warm sun in your heart and the sky in your eyes at all times, and from now on, you can ride the wind and waves and set sail. I hope that no matter when and where you are, you can have lofty ambitions and responsibilities on your shoulders, and from now on, you can make great plans when you take a step. Finally, I wish you all a bright future and a promising future! Cheers!!!"
Everyone shouted in unison, "Thank you, Secretary. Cheers!"
