Chapter 321 The conspicuous bag in the village
Gu Mingyue couldn't help laughing as she found it quite addictive to watch everyone's acting competition.
In the past two days, Uncle Gu's health has been worse than before, especially when the weather is cold. His old cold legs make him unable to go out of the house, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable and unable to sleep half the night.
Therefore, if Gu Mingyue had nothing to do, she would come to his house from time to time to chat with him and relieve his boredom.
She originally told this to her uncle as a joke, but he glanced at her helplessly and said, "Guess who started it?"
Brother Gu and others on the side laughed secretly.
Gu Mingyue said shamelessly, "I am also doing this to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the villagers. Otherwise, it would be so boring. Now I am opening the door to a new world for them, allowing them to find fun in it. This is a meaningful thing."
Uncle Gu nodded at her in the air, shook his head and sighed, "You are always right, girl!"
Liu Caixia suddenly remembered something. "I was recently taking a bus to town and heard some old ladies complaining about how their husbands were so vain recently and insisted on buying scarves. Oh, and Uncle Gu, he asked me for help a few days ago to refurbish his old jacket, haha..."
When she mentioned this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't mention it, Uncle Gu really looks like an old-generation teacher when he puts on that jacket and scarf. It turns out that it's because of this..."
Gu Mingyue was surprised and asked, "Is there such a thing?" Then she praised, "Second Uncle Gu does have the potential in this area. Alas, his age has held him back. Otherwise, he would have been a good candidate for an actor."
When everyone heard this, they were even more delighted.
The reporter of Harbin Daily is named Wantong.
In his heart, he was inclined to believe that the news was fake. In a remote rural area, more than ten people passed the exam at the same time? This was so rare that he suspected that someone was cheating.
But as a reporter, he had to speak with facts, so he decided to come down in person for a secret visit, so he did not book a visit time in advance.
What he didn't know was that any new face that appeared in Qingshan Town would be investigated immediately for eight generations of your family.
Especially people like Wantong who carry cameras and ask around furtively are the key targets of observation.
If his identity as a reporter had not been discovered, he would have been thrown into a small dark room.
Wantong was not aware of this and thought he was doing it without anyone noticing.
When I arrived in the town, I first asked people about the situation in Gujia Village. What I heard most was about the village party secretary.
What are the egg-breaking killer, the grumpy little pepper, and the invincible one? He was completely confused. Is this definitely a village cadre?
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the village. The first thing he did was to worship the village stone tablet and take a serious photo.
The commune had notified the militia in advance and they had received the news long ago.
Gu Mingyue thought that since the other party wanted to find out the real situation, then he should not be stopped and allowed to go freely. Even if he was not shocked, at least he would broaden his horizons.
Wantong was indeed quite shocked.
On the way from Qingshan Town, he noticed that the road to Gujia Village was particularly flat, and could be called a broad road.
It was said that this village was extremely wealthy, and when he asked around, he could easily see that everyone was envious and jealous, which made him even more curious about this village.
When we walked into the village, there was no snow on the road. All the snow had been neatly swept onto the sides of the road. In front of some houses, there were all kinds of snowmen piled up, which was warm and interesting.
Slogans can be seen everywhere, reminding people to pay attention to hygiene and keep clean.
There were some wooden stakes on the roadside. Seeing words on them, he leaned in closer to take a closer look. It clearly said "trash can". Only then did he realize that they were containers for throwing away garbage.
Feeling curious, Wantong quickly took out his camera and took pictures of them one by one.
Not only that, he also discovered that all the houses in Gujia Village were made of blue bricks and red tiles, which were very grand.
What surprised him most was that there was an empty space on the wall of every household, inside which was a can with a candle in it.
Although the village has electricity, the power supply is not as stable as it is in later generations. It is okay for home use, but the street lamp on the village road is always flickering, so it is gradually treated as a decoration and not turned on.
Gu Mingyue came up with an idea. She asked each family to build a windproof space on the high wall at the door, place cans in it, and light them up when it gets dark. They were similar to artificial street lights, and the brightness was limited, but if every family lit it up, it was enough to illuminate the ground.
As soon as Wantong saw the candles, he guessed their use. At this moment, his impression of the village had completely changed.
He believes that for a village that is able to achieve such unique and heartwarming details, it would not be too strange to have a few college students.
Normally at this time, every family is hibernating, there are few people on the streets, and even if they do come out, they are eager to go back home early.
Since knowing that reporters were coming, there were several more conspicuous bags on the road.
For example, in a very cold day, she would wear a single layer of clothing and a white scarf. The funniest thing was that she would hold a book in her hand.
There are even sillier ones who stand alone in the snow and recite poetry aloud.
Gu Mingyue was eating melon seeds at home when she heard someone chattering outside the courtyard wall. Since she didn't hear the dog barking at home, she guessed it was someone she knew.
She went out and saw that it was Gu Guangtao, who was so cold that his nose was running and he was reciting "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold"...
Gu Mingyue was very upset. She didn't smell any fragrance, she just felt cold.
I can't help but feel worried. I have to ask my fifth brother if doing stupid things for no reason will be passed down to the next generation...
But even though he is such an idiot, there are still people who believe him.
When Wantong saw someone holding a book, he approached and asked, "Old comrade, you still love ancient poetry at your age?"
The man who came was Uncle Gu. He deliberately brushed his jacket and said seriously, "Young comrade, you should keep learning until you are old, old horse..."
Halfway through reciting, he forgot the words. Uncle Gu coughed twice and mumbled "Qianli", which was like skipping directly to the end.
Then he thought it must be too cold, his head was numb, and he had lost his level, so he decided to go home and warm up. Then he said, "Little comrade, I see you are a stranger, are you here to visit relatives?"
Wantong replied, "I heard that our village has a village stele with an inscription by a great leader. I came to pay my respects. I'll also take a walk around the village."
Uncle Gu said casually, "Oh, you should enjoy it. But it's so cold, you should go back early. If you don't mind, you can come to my place and sit for a while."
Wantong was indeed a little cold, and asked, "Will it bother you?"
Uncle Gu was stunned. He was just pretending to be polite, but why did this person take it seriously...
He only had this one book in his hand, and the rest of the books were either used as table legs or covered with dust. If you take them away, they will definitely leak out. When did these city people become more honest than the country people...
When Uncle Gu was in trouble, fortunately another conspicuous person appeared, it was Gu Guangtao who was standing in the wind in the snow.
Wantong was obviously more interested in the comrade's spirit, and hurriedly said embarrassedly, "Old comrade, thank you for your invitation. I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I will come to bother you next time when I am free."
Uncle Gu thought to himself, who will follow you next time!
But he pretended to be sorry and said, "Okay. Then you should pay attention to the weather and don't go back too late."
In fact, he was thinking that he had to take the old cow out for a walk in the evening to help digestion, so he should not stay too long and delay his work...
