"I went out to play in the afternoon and listened to them say that my second brother had blown up with his partner." Guo'er said.
"Zhendong has an object?" Guo Xiang was surprised. I didn't hear.
"It's not formal, but the second brother and sister Dongmei are classmates. They often go to school in the county and go home together. The second brother may like sister Dongmei."
"But the second brother didn't do well this time. Dongmei did well. The second brother went to find Dongmei. Dongmei told him not to go to him in the future." Guo'er said anxiously, "the second brother must be very uncomfortable."
Guo Xiang frowned. The man named Dongmei was too shocking. If he didn't comfort Gu Zhendong at this time, why did he fall into the well?
However, this society is such a reality. If she goes to college, she will be a public official in the future, and Gu Zhendong is still a farmer, how can she still see him?
At dinner, Gu Zhendong was obviously in a worse mood. He looked ugly and didn't eat much.
Guo Xiang felt it necessary to talk to him and solve him.
After dinner, Gu Zhendong hid in the room and Guo Xiang knocked at the door.
No one answered, so Guo Xiang had to take the initiative to say, "Zhendong, I'm my sister-in-law."
After a while, Gu Zhendong opened the door and came out, "let's talk?" Guo Xiang said.
Gu Zhendong looked at her and nodded. His eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. He knows Guo Xiang's contribution to his family. He respects her very much.
"Sit outside!" Guo Xiang went to the table and chair outside and sat down. He lit a mosquito repellent incense. It was cool outside, but there were too many mosquitoes.
Gu Zhendong sat down with Guo Xiang.
When Wang Guiying saw that she poured a glass of water for each of them, she walked away. She knew what she said didn't work. She still had to rely on her daughter-in-law to enlighten her second son.
"Forget your grades? Bad? " Asked Guo Xiang.
"Well, I can't reach my previous scores for the volunteer I filled in. I'm afraid the school that didn't fill in won't admit me." Gu Zhendong lowered his head and said.
"So you're not going to take the exam next year? In fact, it doesn't matter to read more than one year. Many people do. " Guo Xiang said.
Gu Zhendong hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "I may not be able to pass the exam next year. I want to find a job."
Guo Xiang is silent. Others can't help him with reading. If he really doesn't want to read, no one can force him.
She regretted that she didn't have a good understanding of his academic performance before, otherwise she could help him in No. 2 middle school, but there was a problem in the exam. Maybe he didn't play well?
"Where do you want to find a job?" Asked Guo Xiang. Now there are no more opportunities to work than later generations. Now even the South has not developed.
"I don't know!" Gu Zhendong is very decadent. He thinks that he is a worker even if he finds a job. But Dongmei is a college student, and the gap will be bigger and bigger in the future.
Such a thought will be even more depressed.
"I heard about you and the girl named Dongmei." Guo Xiang thought about how to comfort Gu Zhendong. "In fact, people will experience many things and meet many people in their life. You don't know who will accompany you all your life. If you miss it, it's just because there's no fate."
"That girl may think you don't deserve her now, but who knows in the future? She just graduated from college and earned tens or hundreds of dollars a month, but maybe your achievements will far surpass her. How can she catch up with you? "
"How is that possible?" Gu Zhendong smiled bitterly. She didn't even get into the University. She has far surpassed herself.
"College entrance examination is not the only way out. Now this period is a good period. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can have achievements that others can't imagine." Guo Xiang said.
Because this period is too special, reform and opening up has created too many people who dare to be the first. Later, 10000 yuan households and millions of Yuan households have sprung up like mushrooms and become the first batch of people in China to master the national economic lifeline, as long as you can seize the opportunity.
"Your brother and I will help you. Now she doesn't care about you, and she won't be able to climb up in the future! " Guo Xiang said loudly.
Gu Zhennan looked at Guo Xiang in surprise. He understood everything she said, but is it so easy to do? But why did she make people feel like blood boiling?
In fact, for a while, Guo Xiang thought a lot.
It is not impossible for Gu Zhendong to work in the gas stove factory, but he can only be an ordinary worker, which will not be of great help to Gu Zhendong's future development.
Before, although Gu Zhennan and himself took money back, they didn't think about how to really help their family get rid of poverty and get rich. Of course, they didn't think Gu Zhendong couldn't go to college. They thought that he would go to college and just feed Wang Guiying and Guo'er in the future.
However, Gu Zhendong's current situation is not as simple as giving some money. We should help him stand up in order to get rid of the current situation.
Can I set up a factory in my hometown, not only to help Gu Zhendong, but also to the villagers in the village.
Now Meihua village is too poor. Many families can't even eat. If we can help them, it's also a good thing.
But what can we do now?
Guo Xiang thought that his own factories, whether sanitary napkin factory or induction cooker factory, were not suitable.
The main reason is that this place is too poor. First, we can't find a suitable plant, second, we can't find supporting facilities, and third, the transportation is inconvenient.
If you insist on setting up a factory here, it is not impossible, but the cost will be much higher, and the gain is not worth the loss. Moreover, it's not easy to sell this place. We still have to go to big cities. If we want to stick it here with the money earned by other factories, it's a bit putting the cart before the horse.
So it's best to develop local resources.
But here
Guo Xiangchao looked outside the courtyard wall and found that there were no resources except those barren mountains where trees did not grow.
Wait... Those mountains and stones are limestone, which is the best raw material for cement and lime!
Guo Xiang had a good idea to set up a cement plant. He could pick up all kinds of resources locally. It was cheap and convenient.
Moreover, the country began to build large-scale construction in less than two years. There are too many places to use cement. At that time, the supply will be in short supply. No one has thought of this yet. It is a good opportunity.
Guo Xiang's mood suddenly became bright. Yes, he set up a cement plant and asked Gu Zhendong to be the factory director.
Of course, he is only a high school student with no experience, so he can only help him a little and help him grow up, so that he can stand alone in the future.
"Zhendong, I have a good idea." Guo Xiang smiled. "Do you know the stones on the mountains around our village?"
"I know." Gu Zhendong doesn't know why.
"What are those stones?" Guo Xiang continued to inspire.
"Those seem to be... Limestone?" Gu Zhendong still doesn't understand.
"Yes, limestone is the best raw material for cement. We can make full use of it." Guo Xiang smiled.
"Portland cement?" Gu Zhendong thought about it. He still knows something after studying high school chemistry.
"Yes!" Guo Xiang smiled. "Why don't we make good use of such a golden mountain?"
Yes, the stones on the mountain have been for many years. Since childhood, I have heard complaints from the villagers that other places depend on mountains and rivers, but they only have a pile of broken stones, but they can't eat them.
No one ever thought about what it could do. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to think of turning waste into treasure.
I don't blame those people in the village. Few of them have read books. No one knows anything about silicate. Even they never thought about it, their sister-in-law still has ideas.
Gu Zhendong admired Guo Xiang very much.
