Chapter 28: Building houses and paving roads, donating to education
There were also some loose incense of different lengths placed next to it. Guo Xing walked over, gathered the incense together, took out a lighter, and tried to see if it could be lit. When it was lit, there was still a fragrance, which showed that the quality of the incense was good.
How nice.
Putting the incense in the incense burner, without caring about the dirt on the ground, Guo Yongren knelt down directly and said, "My ancestors and ancestors are on top. The unscrupulous descendants can come here to offer incense today. I hope my ancestors and ancestors will forgive me." After saying this, he kowtowed directly and kept kowtowing.
Nine.
After kowtowing, Guo Yongren felt a burst of relief, inexplicable relief. He patted the dust on his legs, turned around and left.
Nothing was left in the ancestral house, not a single table or chair was left. After walking around for a while, Guo Yongren came out and met Xu Wenlong and Guo Mingde.
"Uncle Xu, thank you. Today, half of the wishes of three generations of the Guo family have been fulfilled." Guo Yongren sincerely thanked Xu Wenlong. Without Xu Wenlong's help, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the Guo family to take back their ancestral home.
Xu Wenlong patted Guo Yongren on the shoulder and said nothing, and Guo Mingde didn't say anything either. The three of them started to walk back, not directly back to Guo Mingde's home.
Instead, he made some money in the village and went to the Guo family ancestral hall. It was in disrepair and was very dilapidated. Guo Yongren felt a little sad when he saw it. Then he walked around again before returning home.
"My mother-in-law has tidied up the west wing, and there are clean beddings. You can rest there today," Guo Mingde said with a smile.
"Uncle Guo, I want to discuss something with you." Guo Yongren said seriously. Guo Mingde was stunned and looked at Guo Yongren.
"You tell me, as long as I can do it, uncle, I will never refuse," Guo Mingde said seriously.
"Uncle Guo, I just saw that my Guo family's ancestral hall is in dilapidated condition. I want to rebuild the ancestral hall, but I don't know if it is possible." Guo Yongren said directly
Guo Mingde nodded and glanced at Xu Wenlong. Lao Xu's analysis of the child revealed that he was an emotional person. However, the ancestral hall can wait, but school matters cannot wait.
"Yongren, if you really want to do something for the village, can you help the village build a primary school? Children in the village have to walk a long way to go to school, which is very difficult," Guo Mingde said with strong feelings.
"Uncle Guo, there is no problem with the elementary school, but the ancestral hall must also be repaired. In this way, let's start the construction of both. No, I will repair the road in my village again to save the rain and make it difficult for everyone to walk." Guo Yongren said directly.
Well, that's not bad, not to mention that building bridges and paving roads is a supreme charity.
In these days and months, the purchasing power of money is quite affordable. Taking labor as an example, it only costs a few cents a day, which is extremely cheap. Building materials and other items are also quite cheap, so it doesn’t cost much at all.
"Okay, okay, Yongren, on behalf of the young and old in the village, I would like to thank you." Guo Mingde burst into tears, and Guo Yongren quickly persuaded him.
"Uncle Guo, don't be like this. I feel uncomfortable when you look like this." Guo Yongren said with emotion. He understood Guo Mingde very well. In future generations, there will be many village cadres like this.
"Okay, Lao Guo, don't cry. It's not good for you to do this to such a happy event. Stop it quickly." Xu Wenlong also persuaded from the side, with tears in his eyes, and he could understand Guo Mingde's gaffe.
.
After a while, Guo Mingde recovered, and the three of them were able to communicate normally. Guo Mingde was no longer satisfied. Originally he just wanted to build a primary school, but now, Guo Yongren not only built a primary school, an ancestral hall, but also built roads in the village.
, now, all the people in the village have to accept Guo Yongren's favor. After all, in this era, the people are still very simple.
"Uncle Xu, when the school is completed in the future, the teachers will ask for Uncle Xu's help." Guo Yongren thought more. It is not enough to have a school alone, but also to have teachers.
"Okay, since you have done good things for the village, I will take care of this matter." Xu Wenlong directly took over this matter, which was not a big deal to him.
"Yongren, I want to make a fortune with you. The primary schools in Shanghai are very nervous now, and there are still some dilapidated buildings. Do you think you can help me?" Xu Wenlong said shamelessly. For the sake of the students, he would risk his life.
.
"Okay, Uncle Xu has helped me so much. So, Uncle Xu, please plan for three schools. See how much it costs. You give me the number and I will pay." Guo Yongren said proudly. He must be heroic at this time.
.
"Okay, thank you." Xu Wenlong was really embarrassed in his heart. He knew Guo Yongren's family background. His parents were gone and he was now an orphan. It was great to be able to do this.
I originally thought that I could solve one school, but I never thought that Guo Yongren would promise three schools at once. How could he not be overjoyed? If he didn't have a country in his heart, would he be so willing?
Guo Mingde next to him felt a little uncomfortable. Xu Wenlong was taking advantage of the situation. No, he had to get resources from Lao Xu. No matter what, Guo Yongren belongs to our Lao Guo family.
Lao Xu, why do you say that Yongren is from my Guojia Village? Why don't you say anything?" Guo Mingde said directly. Xu Wenlong couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Lao Guo really knows how to choose the right time.
Guo Yongren also laughed, and smiled as he watched the two people bargaining, all for the sake of the masses, without considering personal gains and losses at all. People of this era are really admirable.
Xu Wenlong had no choice but to promise a lot of things before it was over, and Guo Mingde was satisfied. The two looked at each other, burst out laughing, and looked at each other high.
In the afternoon, Guo Yongren went directly to rest. Guo Mingde and Xu Wenlong both had things to do. After Guo Mingde got Guo Yongren's investment, he must discuss it with the people in the village. After all, there were a lot of projects to be done.
Xu Wenlong used the village phone number to call the city directly, reported the matter to the mayor, and asked the mayor to quickly prepare the budget for the three schools so that funds could be allocated immediately.
The mayor was overjoyed when he heard that. With the three new schools, a big problem has been solved. "Old Xu, I will celebrate your success when you come back. By the way, there are also our overseas Chinese. The secretary and I must
Treat him to a drink." The mayor was really excited.
After hanging up the phone, I went directly to the secretary. The municipal party secretary of Shanghai City was in the office. The mayor would definitely be able to come without any hindrance.
The mayor reported the matter, and the secretary was also overjoyed, "Okay, yes, Old Wei has introduced us to the God of Wealth. We must thank Old Wei properly." The secretary said with emotion on his face
