After saying goodbye to Village Chief Guan, Gu Qing took the subsidy and went to Old Man Yuan’s home in the east of the village.

To be honest, Gu Qing is a bit directionally challenged. Not to mention this small area in the village, even the route he takes to go to and from work took Gu Qing a long time to memorize.

She needs to find the way first...Gu Qing has been directionally challenged for who knows how many years. No matter which world she is in, Gu Qing's directionality challenge will always cause her a lot of trouble.

Getting lost has become a common occurrence.

After walking for a while, a male voice suddenly sounded behind Gu Qing, calling:

"Teacher Gu!"

Gu Qing turned her head with shining eyes. She had already recognized the identity of the source of the voice. This was truly what she needed.

I saw Lin Kuichen smiling and waving. His clothes were always dirty, as if he was doing farm work all the time.

Gu Qing looked at Lin Kuichen and walked over.

Lin Kuichen was a little confused and wiped his hands:

"Teacher Gu, is there anything wrong?"

Lin Kuichen’s live streaming selling point is that he is very skillful in doing farm work. He often helps villagers in the mountain village with their farm work, or uses his eloquence to reconcile quarreling old couples.

Therefore, netizens in the live broadcast room nicknamed him: the farm work area anchor.

He was very confused. Logically speaking, Gu Qing should be in school at this time, so why was he here?

Gu Qing walked towards me in a mysterious manner.

He whispered something into the host Lin Kuichen's ear. Lin Kuichen nodded, pressed the microphone mute button on the live broadcast interface, and nodded again.

"Lin Kuichen, can you show me the way?"

Do you know where Old Yuan’s family lives at the east end of the village?

Lin Kuichen nodded: "Of course I know." At the same time, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he secretly complained in his heart: No, you, a native, come to ask me, a foreigner, for the location? ?

Then Lin Kuichen roughly described the location, the route to get there, and so on.

Gu Qing listened roughly. After listening, Gu Qing thought about it and said thank you, then watched Lin Kuichen return to the fields to continue working.

She walked to the side and slapped her forehead. She had overestimated herself in the end. Gu Qing turned around and forgot about the routes that Lin Kuichen had mentioned before.

She simply took out a pinky ring from the system warehouse. She clearly had a wayfinding tool, so why did she need to find the way? I am proud of my poor sense of direction!

Gu tends to walk in one direction...

Lin Kuichen straightened up, looked at the direction where Gu Qing was slowly walking away, and sighed softly:

"Ugh..."

Aside.

Gu Qing kept shining the light along the road. Now, from her perspective, it seemed as if 3D navigation was turned on in front of her, and every meter in front of her was guided by fluorescent lines.

Not long after, Gu Qing followed this road and stopped at an extremely dilapidated thatched hut, next to which was a mud house.

There is a fence around this side, which looks so shabby.

The grant was pulled from the system repository.

Gu Qing walked forward with a depressed mood. Qingshan Village had a serious aging problem and there were quite a few poor households.

Looking at the somewhat shabby wooden door, Gu Qing finally chose to raise his hand and knock.

“Boom…Boom!”

There were several knocks on the door, and then Gu Qing waited for a long time, and then a shout came from inside:

"coming!"

When he opened the door again, Gu Qing saw a skinny old man wearing shorts and a vest.

He held a wooden pole in his hand and his steps were unsteady.

Gu Qing saw that he was a blind man...

He was wearing a pair of worn cloth shoes with traces of mending on the edges.

"Mr. Yuan? Hello, I'm Teacher Gu from the school."

"Teacher Gu...? Oh, now I remember. Teacher Gu...is there anything I can help you with?"

According to the information on the list, the old man's son once attended the school.

Gu Qing coughed twice and told the old man about the village committee's plan to issue subsidies. The old man was stunned again.

After being stunned for a while, the old man tried to take out a cigarette from his shorts with trembling fingers, but finally stopped, opened the wooden door, turned around and walked into the house with his wooden stick.

"Teacher... come sit inside... the house is a bit messy."

Gu Qing walked into the old man's yard, where the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Red characters such as "Laolai" can be vaguely seen on the wall of the bungalow, which now seem to have faded due to the decay of time.

The old man sat on a wooden chair in the room very skillfully.

Gu Qing put the money on the table, thought about it, and sat down.

Gu Qing was feeling a little depressed and asked:

"Master Yuan, do you have any children?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, twisting his neck again and again, but the words seemed to be blocked in his mouth. In the end, he only said one sentence:

"gone..."

Gu Qing did not continue asking. She could already hear the sadness and loneliness in the old man's tone.

Obviously something happened...

She was a little hesitant at this moment...

Would it really make a big difference to give a subsidy to an old man like this? Would there be a place to spend the money?

At this time, the old man added:

"Teacher Gu, my granddaughter is also in school and will graduate soon."

When talking about his granddaughter, the old man's brows showed some joy, as if his granddaughter was his little sun.

Then, Gu Qing started talking about the old man's granddaughter in a familiar manner. Although she didn't have an impression of every student, she could still talk about it if she continued with the topic.

After all, Gu Qing is not a socially anxious person like Gu Ya.

Time passed minute by minute, and Gu Qing ran out of things to say, and silence fell between the two of them again.

"Teacher Gu, how much is the subsidy..."

The old man asked how much the subsidy was this time, with some caution and hope in his tone.

After all, usually the subsidies are collected in person, and never delivered by the teacher in person like today.

Gu Qing spoke out the amount of the subsidy, his words were clear and loud, and his voice was fully transmitted to the ears of the blind old man.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

The old man started coughing violently. When he heard the amount, he was so shocked that he vomited half a mouthful of tea he had drunk onto the ground beside the chair.

You know, in the past, his monthly poverty subsidy was only 200 yuan, and it was always 200 yuan... It was 200 yuan for decades...

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. At this moment he was like a mute.

After staying for a moment, Gu Qing saw that the area around the old man's eyes suddenly turned red. The next second, he raised his head and turned away.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qing sighed. Having taken care of the wounded on the battlefield before, she knew that the old man was suffering from the sequelae of losing his eyeballs.

Tear incontinence caused by losing the eyeball but the tear glands are still normal.

Gu Qing pursed her lips. No matter how much experience she had or how sophisticated her style of doing things was, facing the current sufferings in the world, Gu Qing didn't know what to do.
