Chapter 1,230: Tell a joke, I’m a layman(1/2)

Because of this sketching session, Teacher Guo was invited to visit the village elder’s home.

The township head was very enthusiastic about Teacher Guo. When he arrived, he toasted Teacher Guo and then talked about his campaign plan.

Among them was a portrait that he planned to use for campaign propaganda.

The township head asked other people if they had any opinions.

So other teachers, dean of students, etc., kept flattering me.

“Very authoritative!”

"Great!"

“It looks very friendly to the people at first glance!”

The township chief was very happy to hear this and asked Teacher Guo: "You are an expert, how do you feel?"

Teacher Guo looked at the portrait and then at the township head himself. Under the great expectation of the township head, he said: "It looks very similar, but there is no affinity! It looks like the one hanging on a float!"

The audience in the theater burst into laughter.

"Look carefully, they really look alike!"

"Hahaha!"

On the big screen, the mayor's smile froze, but he quickly laughed again: "An expert is an expert. If you have a feeling, do it well!"

"Otherwise, if I hang this photo in the car and people see it when I go out, they will think I am attending a funeral!"

Although the township chief is not a positive character in this movie, he does have his own unique features.

In other words, the movie did not weaken or vilify the township chief.

Being able to make fun of oneself and do what one says in front of oneself can only be said to be worthy of being the mayor of the township.

"In this way, you can draw me a picture that is more lifelike and approachable, like this..." He said and waved his hands.

Teacher Guo smiled and nodded. The principal also smiled and said: "Yes, no problem. Our teacher Guo even leads students to catch tea bugs on Sundays. He is very enthusiastic!"

After hearing this, the township head said: "When can we catch the tea bugs? There are pesticides now. Just spray them and they will be fine."

As he said this, he pulled Teacher Guo to sit down and poured him wine. Teacher Guo took this opportunity to say: "My student, whose surname is Gu, is a tea farmer in the mountains behind Dahu. His family is very poor and cannot afford pesticides.

Even the farmland is rented from the township chief!”

The assistant to the township chief on the side also reminded him of Gu Aming's father's name in his ear.

"We are in Shuicheng and rural areas. We have mountains and rivers and everyone is well-off. I don't understand why he has no money. Besides, he borrowed money from me and I never pressed him. If you don't believe me, ask everyone."

explained.

Everyone said: "No, absolutely not!"

The township chief added: "Well, I don't have money to buy pesticides. As the township chief, I just want to serve the people. I will send people to spray pesticides immediately tomorrow!"

No matter what his purpose was, whether it was for show or something else, at least he did help the Gu Aming family.

Therefore, Teacher Guo took the initiative to offer the mayor a glass of wine.

"Let me first thank you on behalf of the Gu family! With pesticides, their siblings can go to class with peace of mind!" Teacher Guo stood up and said.

The banquet was full of people drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.

Guo Yuntian and Teacher Lin were talking to the side.

"You mean we treat the children not just for their own good, but also to make them happy?" Teacher Lin asked curiously.

"Yes, it's harder to make children happy than to make them good!" Teacher Guo nodded.

Teacher Lin looked at Teacher Guo and said, "The things you often talk about are things I dare not talk about."

"There are advantages to not daring. Like me, I am always unable to hide my words, so I am sent here!" Guo Yuntian said with self-mockery.

At this time, Teacher Lin saw Teacher Weng peeking at them, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's good to be outside here, there are people who care about you."

There was something in her words, but it was a pity that Teacher Guo didn't seem to understand it.

Soon, the township head sent people to spray pesticides in Gu Aming's tea garden, and Gu Aming and Gu Chamei returned to school.

Teacher Guo also quickly helped the mayor draw a picture.

After the students finished painting, they went out to play, but Gu Aming unexpectedly stayed at the end.

Teacher Guo asked him doubtfully: "Gu Aming, what's happened recently? I draw very slowly."

Gu Aming raised his head and said: "I want to draw my mother, but I can't remember what she looks like..."

Teacher Guo didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only let him go back first.

Dad Gu and Sister Gu Cha waited at home but did not see Gu Amin. They came to the ferry and shouted Gu Amin's name loudly.

Gu Amin was very frustrated and sad because he could not remember his mother's appearance.

After coming back, my sister wiped Gu Aming's feet patiently. Gu Aming was a little out of sorts and said: "Sister, I've been very low energy recently!"

My sister asked: "Are you too tired from painting?"

Gu Amin asked: "Do you remember what your mother looks like?"

Sister: "Of course I remember."

"I keep dreaming about my mother recently, but I forget about it when I wake up!" Gu Aming said a little frustrated.

"Mom, don't forget her. She often wears a bamboo hat with a small yellow flower stuck on it. It's so beautiful. When mom gets up every morning, she always hurriedly grabs her hair like this and then puts it into a dish.

Just start washing clothes, cooking, and feeding pigs. Every time your father loses his temper, your mother will hold you and keep rocking you. When you were a child, you often woke up in the middle of the night and kept crying..."

"Mom is holding you like this, humming like this, ah...ah...thinking of mother's words every night, Lu Binghua sheds tears..."

My sister sang, and Gu Aming also sang along.

Dad Gu, who was in the room, sighed deeply as he listened to the songs sung by his son and daughter.

In the school and teacher's office, everyone is listening to the radio.

The principal came in and asked the school teachers to help the mayor go to each child's home to help with the campaign. He also promised that if elected, each male teacher would be given a suit and the female teacher would be given a coat.

Other teachers immediately said that the mayor was generous.

The campaign is in full swing.

With the help of the township chief, although Gu Aming's family is still in financial difficulties, they can attend classes with peace of mind.

Everything seems to be developing for the better.

But the plot soon took a turn for the worse. While feeding the pigs, Gu Amin fainted in the pig pen.

Fortunately, his sister found him and Gu Amin was sent to the hospital.

The doctor told Gu's father: "A Ming has a bad liver just like his mother. Every time, you wait till this time to see me. You are really careless. You are so careless."

Father Gu is about to cry but has no tears.

He didn't want to, but even if he knew, he didn't have such conditions.

Grief differs from person to person.

The Gu family was worried because of Gu Amin's illness. On the other hand, the township chief was successfully elected, which naturally made the whole school laugh.

The township head came to the school to express his gratitude, but Teacher Guo expressed no interest in running for office and did not attend at all.

Teacher Guo came to the hospital to visit Gu Aming.

Gu Amin said to him: "Teacher, my father respects you very much. Please tell him to let me go back so that I can paint. Everything here is white and there is no color."

Teacher Guo said: "White is also a color. It is the cleanest and purest. You see, the nurses all wear white clothes, the angels also wear white clothes, and the bride's veil is also white..."

However, the next moment, Gu Amin pointed to another patient in the ward. He was lying there with a pale face and was being sustained by infusion.

"But he is also in vain!"

On the other side, it rained all night, because on the day of the vote, he happened to take Gu Amin to the hospital, but he did not vote. The mayor thought that he was unwilling to vote for him.

Therefore, Gu’s father explained that he was urged to pay back the money, but he didn’t care at all.

It can be said that the attitudes before and after the election are completely different, and the politicians' faces are clearly revealed.

Father Gu had no choice but to sell the little piglet that had not yet been raised, but it was still a drop in the bucket. He could only ask Sister Gu to go to the hospital and take Gu Amin home.

Everyone knew what this meant, but he really had no choice.

I could only say with tears in my eyes: "Those who are alive cannot die, and those who are not alive cannot be saved."

Dad Gu took the money to pay off the debt.

When Gu Chamei came to the hospital, the doctor did not recommend that Gu Amin be discharged from the hospital because his disease could not be cured by rest.

"If mom is not here at home, you are mom, you know?" The doctor told Gu Chamei to buy the medicine prescribed by her and give it to Gu Amin on time.

In the evening, my sister took A Ming home on a bamboo raft. A Ming didn't know what it meant to be discharged from the hospital, but he still said happily: "Sister, this place is much more beautiful than the hospital. Fortunately, my illness recovered quickly.

Otherwise, it will be too late to participate in the painting competition."

But he didn't see the tears that his sister was holding back from falling.
