"Young man, you are very good, really very good."
"very nice."
After listening to what Gu Luo said, the old lady looked at him carefully.
The more I looked at him, the more I felt that this child exuded a rare aura and temperament, and I couldn't help but say "very good" three times in a row.
Then, she smiled gently and explained, "I'll give all the scrap I pick up to an elderly woman with some disabilities. But my abilities are limited, so there's not much I can do to help her."
"I'm free anyway, so I might as well take it as exercise."
Hearing this, Gu Luo suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
It turns out that I had misunderstood.
As expected, the prejudice in people's hearts is as huge as a mountain. He never thought that this old lady who seemed to have a good life was actually helping others silently.
"I'm sorry, grandma. I misunderstood." Gu Luo quickly apologized sincerely.
“No, no.”
The old lady waved her hand and added, "Young man, you are actually quite right."
"In the beginning, I was just collecting scrap and selling it for money, thinking I could help out a little bit and save as much as I could."
"But when my younger brother found out, he gave me a stern scolding...haha."
As she said this, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of bitterness, and she couldn't help but sigh:
"In the final analysis, it's because my level of thinking is not high enough..."
"I've been a teacher my whole life... I've exhorted countless students to help others get rich first, and to contribute to the great goal of common prosperity. But in the end... even I myself am encroaching on other people's living resources."
"I also criticized those rich people... criticized them for not treating people as human beings, criticized them for loving money and hoarding it. They clearly have earned enough wealth to last for several lifetimes, but they are unwilling to give some away..."
"Even if we can give just a little bit, it can bring happiness to more people..."
"But in the end... I had unknowingly become the person I once hated the most."
The old lady was silent for a few seconds after she said this, then smiled kindly at Gu Luo:
"Young man, you are really great. You have such ideological awareness at this age."
"I'm old and I just like to nag and talk about my insights into life. Don't think I'm too long-winded, haha..."
"Grandma, I really like listening to you talk about these truths. I don't think you are nagging." Gu Luo said seriously.
"That's right."
Situ Wenyao also followed suit and agreed. At this time, he had suppressed his secret happiness and really thought about these principles seriously.
I just felt that the figure of my best friend became incomparably tall at this moment.
No, no, we still have to bring it in, keep bringing it in.
When he thought about the fact that he had expressed those thoughts just now, his heart suddenly surged again.
Huang Anlu is definitely the most embarrassed person present.
She wanted to say something to Gu Luo, but she didn't know how to start.
The old lady looked at the energetic children in front of her, a gratified smile appeared on her face, and she slowly spoke:
"In fact, these principles have long been told to us by our ancestors in history."
Gu Luoyi then continued, "The Records of the Grand Historian says: 'Those who receive salary should not compete with the common people for profit.'"
"Yes, that's it."
The admiration in the grandmother's eyes grew stronger, and she even thought to herself how great it would be if this was her own grandson.
She then looked at the trash can beside her and said with emotion, "Just like this trash can, it is the last chance of survival for people at the bottom of society."
"Accidents always come faster than tomorrow. Anyone who has nowhere else to turn due to various misfortunes can temporarily get a little food and clothing by rummaging through trash cans."
"Of course, this is all hindsight, something I only realized later."
Having said this, the old lady suddenly asked Gu Luo: "Young man, have you ever considered becoming a civil servant in the future?"
"By the way, I have a grandson..."
"Grandma Li."
