Chapter 17: The Boy's Appearance
Zheng Xiangcheng looked at Gu Chang in front of him and was a little bit unbelieving.
It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up, and become more and more beautiful; this boy has grown up and has also become this big!
I remember that in the past, Gu Chang was dark and thin, running around in the mountains all day long, either catching rabbits and catching scorpions, or fishing in the valley and picking wild fruits. He was like a wild boy.
Gu Chang today has fair skin, wears glasses, is gentle and elegant, and has a scholarly air. Except for his face shape which remains the same as when he was a child, everything else has changed.
"Good boy, you've grown into a big man!" Zheng Xiangcheng looked at Gu Chang and said with emotion.
"How is Mr. Gu's illness? I've always wanted to go see him. I've been to Shangouzi Village several times, and I heard that you took him to a hospital in a big city for treatment." Zheng Xiangcheng asked.
Gu Chang said in a low voice: "He just left a few months ago."
"Gone?" Zheng Xiangcheng was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"He just left like that? He just left like that..." Old Zheng lowered his head and kept talking to himself.
Zheng Xiangcheng's face, which was full of wrinkles carved by time, looked very lonely.
The friendship between Zheng Xiangcheng and Gu Jianguo cannot be described in a day or two.
Zheng Xiangcheng knew Gu Jianguo when he was still setting up a stall.
At that time, Gu Jianguo tried raising pigs, feeding chickens, feeding rabbits, and planting fruit trees.
I have to say that Gu Jianguo really has a talent for breeding. Most of the time, the products he raises are a level better than those of others.
Gu Chang is so talented in raising pigs, maybe he inherited Gu Jianguo's excellent genes.
Gu Jianguo’s sales partner is Zheng Xiangcheng.
Most of the products were supplied to Zheng Xiangcheng and sold through Zheng Xiangcheng. The cooperative relationship between the two lasted for decades.
Previously, most of the fruits produced by the fruit trees planted by Gu Jianguo were transported and sold to various places through Zheng Xiangcheng.
At that time, the fruits of other villagers in Shangouzi Village could not be sold because they were too unpalatable, and Zheng Xiangcheng also suffered a lot of losses. However, Zheng Xiangcheng was also very generous. He did not ask Gu Jianguo for any compensation. He also actively helped to see if there could be other sales channels.
You know what, Zheng Xiangcheng really found it.
A pig farm actually ordered several trucks of fruit to feed the pigs. Anyway, the fruit is very cheap and is just right for feeding pigs.
No one noticed that the pigs really liked to eat these fruits! These fruits are not delicious when eaten directly, but after being processed, they are all good things!
However, later on, the land lease contract for the fruit trees was bought by Gu Jianguo. In addition, Gu Jianguo was filled with worries and fell ill, so the business came to a halt.
"What are you doing now, Gu Chang? What are your plans for the future?" Zheng Xiangcheng rubbed his eyes, looked up and asked Gu Chang.
Sometimes, people are just like this. The dead are gone, and we have to make plans for the living.
"I returned to the village, built a pig farm in the village, and took over the fruit trees left by my father." Gu Chang said with a smile.
Zheng Xiangcheng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"You, why do you want to go back to that village? I heard from your father that you are studying with the best professors in the country and have a bright future. Why do you want to go back to that place?" Old Zheng said with some excitement.
"Child, listen to me. You are still young and have little experience. There is a reason why Shangouzi Village is poor. Those selfish villagers deserve to be poor all their lives. Your father can't save them, and you can't save them either. Don't delay yourself!" Zheng Xiangcheng said in a serious tone, looking at Gu Chang seriously.
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng. I'm not trying to save anyone. I just want to fulfill my father's last wish." After hearing what Uncle Zheng said, Gu Chang was deeply moved. This was an elder who really cared about him!
Zheng Xiangcheng looked at Gu Chang, who had a bright smile and a determined face, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed, as if he was remembering something that happened a long time ago.
At that time, Lao Zheng was still Xiao Zheng, and was setting up a stall in Dayizi Town. He met the young and energetic Gu Jianguo. The two hit it off and became close friends.
Later, on one occasion, when Xiao Zheng persuaded Gu Jianguo to leave Shangouzi Village and that group of villagers to develop out of the country, he believed that with their hard work and fearlessness of failure, there was a vast world for them to achieve great things!
Gu Jianguo just smiled and said, "Shangouzi Village has continuous mountains and a vast world. The villagers have been poor for a long time and are afraid of poverty. People are still good. Xiao Chang and I have received kindness from the villagers, so we should repay them with gratitude!"
"Shangouzi Village has continuous mountains and a vast world, and there is a lot to be done here..."
The young figure disappeared into the horizon. This is what being young is like. No matter how many mountains and rivers there are, or how many difficulties and obstacles there are, I will still move forward!
