Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs

"Xiao Gu, the road from Shangouzi Village to the town must be repaired."

Secretary Liu also knew that the mountain road from Shangouzi Village to the town was rugged and very difficult to walk on.

It often takes an hour to walk a short distance of more than 30 kilometers.

“But compared with building schools and expanding the output of the gastrodia production base, isn’t building roads less important?”

"Besides, hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on road construction won't build very far!"

Secretary Liu explained patiently.

This is only Gu Chang. If it were someone else, Secretary Liu would probably be too lazy to say it.

Building roads is very important, at least more important than building a village committee compound, but there is not enough money!

It would be better to use the money to expand production. Next year, when the profit is higher, it can be used to build roads. Isn’t that more appropriate?

The rest of the people also looked at Gu Chang strangely.

Logically speaking, Gu Chang should not be unable to understand priorities!

He proposed to build the road. Was there any deeper consideration behind it?

"Xiao Gu, when you talk about building roads, do you have any plans or purposes?" Deputy County Chief Wang asked patiently.

Several leaders attached great importance to Gu Chang's ideas.

"Let me first propose to solve the problem that Comrade Wu Qingmeng and Captain Wang just raised."

Gu Chang did not explain why he wanted to build the road, but took the lead in solving the problem.

"Oh?" Everyone looked surprised.

For a moment, everyone in the conference room was confused about Gu Chang's thoughts.

What on earth is he going to do?

While he was talking about building roads, he also wanted to solve the two problems just raised?

This money is not enough!

……

"Let me first talk about the urgent need to repair the primary school in Shangouzi Village."

"The village primary school in Shangouzi Village is where I went to school when I was a child. The three teachers here were also my teachers back then! I have deep feelings for this place," said Gu Chang.

"When I was in school, the school building was already old and dilapidated. Several teachers not only had to take care of daily teaching work, but also had to take time out to repair the school building and provide a better environment for students as much as possible."

"I can still remember Teacher Gu holding a hammer, repairing the squeaking classroom door, fixing the chairs that were about to fall apart for the students, and sometimes helping the students to smash the wild walnuts they picked up in the mountains."

“When I was little, I felt that Teacher Gu’s hammer had some kind of magic that could solve all the problems we faced!”

"I can still remember that when summer vacation ended and school started, Teacher Li worked hard to level the weed-covered yard in order to provide students with a space for activities."

"I worked for several days and was so tired that I had to hold my waist during class."

"And Teacher Li, although she is a female teacher, she does a lot of work!"

"There were no printers at that time, so all the test papers were handwritten by Teacher Li, and then printed with ink."

"The words on the test paper are simple, steady, vigorous and powerful! They were all written by Teacher Li in countless nights."

"I passed by the village primary school one night. At that time, all the students had gone home, but an old lamp in the office was still dimly lit. I knew that Teacher Li must be still working on the test paper at his desk."

"..."

There are many examples like this. Gu Chang spoke slowly, one by one.

Very serious and sincere!

Everyone was silent at this moment!

They seemed to follow Gu Chang's memories and return to that era, to that campus which, although dilapidated, was filled with the sound of reading. They saw the smiling faces of the students and the silent dedication of the three teachers. Time slipped away quietly here.

The children grew up day by day, and the three teachers' black hair turned into white hair!

Below the stage, a villager representative from Shangouzi Village burst into tears.

He is Mr. Gu, the teacher at the primary school in Shangouzi Village and one of the protagonists in Gu Chang’s story.

Teacher Gu has been teaching at the village primary school since the day it was built.

He has seen off batch after batch of students, day after day, for decades.

The once passionate young man has gradually grown old with the passage of time, and his white hair tells of the hardships he has endured over the years.

The once brand new campus has gradually fallen into disrepair over the course of time.

Teacher Gu is about to retire, and the other two teachers are also about to retire!

They have a common wish, which is to renovate the village primary school before retirement so that the children don't have to go to class in leaky classrooms.

When he heard Wu Qingmeng's suggestion, he was extremely excited!

This is the closest they have come to having their wish come true in all these years.

However, when Captain Wang put forward his idea, Teacher Gu knew that they would have to persist for another year and wait until they had money tomorrow to renovate the school!

Now, the Gastrodia elata production base is still the main focus!

They and the students can still hold on a little longer!

But when he heard Gu Chang say that he wanted to build a road, he really didn't understand!

Why build roads?

As for Gu Chang, several teachers have always regarded him as their pride!

Watching him get into high school and then college, he established a Gastrodia elata production base for the village and brought a lot of hope!

They felt more and more proud of Gu Chang.

But today, when he heard Gu Chang say that he wanted to build a road, he was very disappointed!

They regard themselves as proud students, as if they have forgotten the place where they once studied and grew up...

However, after hearing what Gu Chang just said, he knew that Gu Chang had not forgotten!

He remembers them all!
