Chapter 258: Change
Once a person knows how to be grateful, his spirit is sublimated. Learn to be grateful, be grateful for what you have, and be grateful for everything life has given you, so that you will have a positive outlook on life and a healthy mindset. Therefore, it is inevitable that Tan Jing will be able to achieve success in the future, at least he will not be like some beasts, scolding his mother after eating, and has no sense of morality.
No, everything in the world has a heart of gratitude, including animals. When the so-called "elites" cultivated by the motherland are slandering the motherland in a big way, I don't know if they have ever thought that they are not even as good as animals? A wise person should not be concerned about what he does not have, nor should he blindly ask for it to inflate his selfish desires; the crow has the righteousness to feed back, and the sheep knows the grace of kneeling milk, but the despicable villain is always ungrateful, because ingratitude is originally a part of despicability.
There are also some people who sell miserably, let caring people donate money to collect money, and live a life of squandering luxury, which really doesn't even have the bottom line of being a human being. Moral corruption is like this, and looking at the mother and son of the Tan family who are grateful to Dade because of a job, Yang Xiaobei doesn't know why this society has become like that. Maybe it's because it's developing too fast, and many people have lost their footsteps and lost some of the basic principles of being a human being.
She still hopes to leave a pure land, so that children can learn to be grateful from an early age and know what "truth, goodness and beauty" are. For this reason, she came up with the idea of opening a "Chinese culture class" in primary school. Let children learn the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation from an early age, and establish a correct outlook on life and values.
The idea was quickly supported by Yang. The teacher is ready-made, Mr. Hai originally taught private school, what "three-character scripture" and "disciple rules" are idle, and he is also happy that he can teach ancient Chinese again - they are all treasures left by the ancestors, and it is a pity to lose them.
It is also the special situation of Huang's Primary School that allows Yang Qitai to have a great degree of freedom in teaching. It's just an idea for everyone, let's try it out first. What I didn't expect was that later this Chinese culture course became the signboard of Huang's Primary School, and the students who went out from here, not to mention, have a deep foundation in ancient Chinese, when other children were abused by classical Chinese to death, the children in Peach Blossom Village said that they had been learning since the first grade, and ancient Chinese writing was not a problem, is it difficult?
Many years later, when Huang's Primary School became a well-known private primary school, and the admission rate of key middle schools was extremely high, everyone came here inexplicably, only to find that this school was different. Despite the high quality of teaching, the school is not only based on grades, the scope of learning is very relaxed, and there are many extracurricular and non-examination items.
Yang Qitai, who is already a special teacher but is still the principal of the primary school, said, "The purpose of the school is to educate every child well and teach them according to their aptitude. There are no bad children, only children who are not educated well. As with his original intention, he would never give up on any student, as it says in the movie - no one is missing.
Yang Xiaobei's first year back in Baiyun County passed quickly, and everything seemed to have changed except for an extra big fat boy. She still insists on working in the clinic (although she has lost her hands-on ability), and Zhou Pinzheng still expands his agricultural market. Nowadays, the scale of cooperatives is getting bigger and bigger, and the benefits are getting bigger and bigger, not to mention the major shareholders Zhou, Yang, and Yi, even those employees who work in the cooperatives, have already become "10,000 yuan households" in advance, clamoring to enter a well-off society.
Yang Xiaobei is very satisfied with the wealth he has now. If it takes a while, Huipuhai will buy a few buildings and wait for appreciation, and even Zhou Zhicheng will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. But again, her original purpose was not just to make money, but to change the poverty in her hometown and make everyone's life better.
In fact, in just three years of reform and opening up, the appearance of Hanjiachong, Xudian Town and even Baiyun County has undergone tremendous changes. The biggest change is the color, in the past, all the countryside was full of yellow mud walls and gray thatched houses, but now there is a new atmosphere, brand new large tiled houses. There are even many small two-story buildings that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, with white walls and black tiles, and you can feel good when you look at them.
Nowadays, bricklayers are the most popular, and they are in short supply, and many young people choose to learn this craft to make money. In addition, carpenters, lacquerers are also very busy, now the standard of living is high, everyone's requirements are also rising, not only practical, but also beautiful, decorative, people's requirements in a short period of time has changed a lot.
The uncle's family also built a new house, and it was directly a two-story building, and it was not too crowded to live in a large family. In the past two years, the uncle has earned a lot by relying on the cooperative, and this time the new house is not called poor, and it seems that he has a lot of money. Uncle and his wife, who have always been competitive, have finally raised their eyebrows, and now his house is the highest! Uncle puffed up his chest and invited everyone to come to his house for the New Year this year, that is a must!
In fact, Yang Xiaobei doesn't like the popular buildings in the countryside now, there is no bathroom, there is no ceiling upstairs, it is hot to death, it freezes to death in winter, and it is basically impossible to live in it. At this time, there were no prefabricated slabs in vogue, and there were no cranes, at most one floor slab could be raised, and the second floor could not be helped. What everyone is pursuing is only the word "building", but in fact, the practicality is not great, which is why she did not choose to build a building back then - it is really a technical limitation!
Of course, for the sake of saving face, this kind of building is still very popular with everyone. Anyway, it's good for everyone to be happy. During the New Year at his eldest son's house, Yang Laohan sighed, "Back then, I said that upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones were still considered a fantasy, how could I have thought that it would be almost reached so soon?"
"A few years ago, the tiled houses of the second brother and the younger brother's family were all eye-catching, who would have thought that now our family has lived in the building?" The eldest aunt said proudly, she has made a lot of money this year, and it is rare that there is no picking, searching, and the food on the table is piled up. In the past, I didn't have a new house, and I always felt inferior, but now I finally raised my eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, who called their family the boss? The feeling of being pressed by my younger brothers is not pleasant.
Adults are lamenting today's happy life, but children don't think about it so much. Their most intuitive feeling is that their life is better now, and the New Year is much more delicious, not only will the family kill pigs and sheep, but also go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy delicious candies and pastries, which was unimaginable in the past - it would be good to have home-grown dried sweet potatoes and peanuts to eat!
"Oh, you kid! If you have something delicious, you can eat it violently, what should you do if you want to break your stomach?" The eldest aunt said in an atmospheric manner, but in the end, she was used to calculating people, and she was still distressed when she watched a few children "sweeping" at the dinner table, and couldn't help but say a few words. This is very expensive food, put it in the past, it was all served on the plate, just look at it, how can the children eat, how to serve it out, how to bring it back. 10
