After everyone left, Wu Yao sighed, “I used to think that the neighborhood committee was well run, mainly to deal with the leaders above, and to have a good reference for the future development of the village.
But now I can truly understand Gu Xi's intention. It was precisely these little things that did not attract any attention at first, but instead had a very bad impact. Being drunk can cause trouble, and if children don't study, the impact will be long-term. "
Gu Xi arranged the paper and pen: "Those who try their best in small things can achieve great things, and those who are cautious in small things can achieve remarkable results. Those who try their best in small things can achieve great things. Those who are cautious in small things can achieve remarkable results.
Mr. Lu Xun wrote in "On the Collapse of Leifeng Pagoda Again": The reason why the Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou collapsed was because the locals believed that if they kept bricks from the pagoda in their homes and drank wine, it would help them to be safe and sound and turn misfortune into good fortune. So you took a piece, I took a piece, and after a long time, the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed.
Just because the first person took it, the second and third people followed suit, and everyone felt that they should take it, and that they would be at a disadvantage if they didn't take it.
There is also a term for this, called the broken window effect. Therefore, the importance of education is reflected in the details. "
This statement deeply touched Xu Zhengrong: "I know the deeds of Comrade Jiao Yulu, and I have always regarded him as my role model.
In fact, I didn’t receive much education, I only finished junior high school, but I have been with Wu Yao for a long time. He is a college student, and I especially admire the way he handles things. When I go to meet the town leaders, I always let him represent me. Sometimes I don’t understand what the main leaders say. "
Gu Xi thought the village chief's speech was particularly good: "Uncle Xu, you can say this again when you encourage the villagers to study. It's very good.
Also, don't laugh at others' hard work and progress, for fear that someone will say that you are too old to still study. It is never too late to study. You can keep learning as long as you live. As society progresses and develops, there will always be new things worth learning. "
Wu Yao saw that the time was almost up: "Let's stop here today. Wait for the announcement on the radio and continue the interview tomorrow. Those with a junior high school diploma or below should not come and cause trouble.
Those whose children are not in school should not come, and those with a bad temper are not allowed to come. Let me inform you this first. "
Gu Xi had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she was just daydreaming in the yard at home.
Wang Xu came back and saw her: "Aren't you going to have an interview at the neighborhood committee today? Why are you home so early? Are you having trouble?"
Gu Xi sighed: "It's a bad start."
Gu Xi recounted the stories of the three interviewees she met.
Wang Xu sat aside and listened silently: "Will you despise me for being uneducated? I will study hard in the future and strive to be worthy of you."
Gu Xi suddenly had an idea: "Let me test you to see what your level is. I can teach you every day based on your ability."
Wang Xu was inexplicably nervous: "I haven't read for several years. You can't laugh at me for doing poorly on the exam."
Gu Xi found the books and exercise books that she had packed before going to the countryside in the room, took out paper and pen, and wrote a few questions for Wang Xu to try.
Wang Xu took the paper and pen and worked on the questions seriously. Gu Xi found it quite interesting: "Did your teacher ever tell you whether you were good at math or Chinese?"
Wang Xu lowered his head to do his homework: "Don't talk to me, you're disturbing me."
Gu Xi shut up and watched Wang Xu doing the questions. He looked handsome when he was serious. Wang Xu couldn't concentrate because of being stared at: "Can you stop looking at me? I can't concentrate at all because of you looking at me. Don't you know how much influence you have on me?"
Gu Xi was speechless. She couldn’t even look at it. Could the impact be so big?
I could only walk away quietly, go back to my room, get a high school textbook and read it while waiting.
After about a quarter of an hour, Wang Xu finished all the questions. Gu Xi found that he got all the math questions right and had a good foundation. His Chinese was also okay. He could not remember some of the things he recited, but his reading comprehension was okay.
"You are quite good at math. I'll give you a few more math problems." Gu Xi gave a few more problems from the high school math textbook she was reading.
About ten minutes later, Wang Xu finished all the questions and only got one wrong. Gu Xi was shocked: "Are you so good at math? These are all high school knowledge, and you got almost all of them right."
Wang Xu didn’t know what level he was at: “I used to be good at math, but I don’t know what level I was at. But I haven’t read books to study for many years, so I’m rusty and can’t even remember the formulas.”
Gu Xi looked at these questions. She couldn't guarantee such a high accuracy rate even if she did them herself, but she couldn't lose: "Your math level is comparable to mine, above high school level. Your Chinese is also at high school level. I'm beginning to wonder how your mother's teacher is so good."
Wang Xu was quite happy to be praised: "The teacher had studied abroad before. My mother said he was very good. Later, due to family changes and wind direction problems, he left Beijing and traveled around. He met my mother here. Later, he took care of me and settled here. He also met the love of his life. Unfortunately, he was in poor health and passed away in the end."
Gu Xi's gossipy nature came out again: "What kind of person is the love of his life? She must be quite old, right?"
Wang Xu saw her gossipy look and knew he had to tell the whole story: "He is about the same age as my mother. My mother once admired him, but in the end, they were not destined to be together and missed each other.
We met again later, and after experiencing so much, we were no longer suitable for each other. I didn't expect that I would meet my teacher's wife when I was old. My teacher's wife is not well educated, but kind and strong. She had been married before, but felt that this kind of marriage life was not what she wanted, so she chose to divorce. At that time, divorce was a heretical thing. Even though her family broke off relations with her, she resolutely left her hometown and moved to Hongxing Village.
She never remarried, as she didn't want to get married just to be judged by others. She lived alone until she met my teacher. His wife went to a literacy class. In fact, her level exceeded that of the class, but she had no other place to learn. My teacher took the initiative to teach her, and after a few interactions, they found that they had similar personalities, so they got together.
When the teacher passed away, his wife was very sad, but also very strong. She handled the teacher's funeral alone, and then left me a letter, asking me to help her clean the house and visit the teacher often. She wanted to see the place where the teacher lived. After three months, she came back. No one knew what she had been through. She gave me another letter and asked me to bury her and the teacher together. She committed suicide in front of the teacher's grave. "
Gu Xi was particularly shocked after hearing this, it was a kind of touching that touched her heart: "No wonder your teacher loves her so much, your teacher's wife is so admirable, not to mention back then, even after many years, I think she is still ahead of the times.
Don't be afraid of rumors, live your life to the fullest. How many people care about other people's opinions throughout their lives and put themselves in a difficult position to please others. Independent women like your wife are the most admirable. He is truly a role model for our generation. "
