rebirth of change

March 1994th, 3 was the first Saturday in March, which was also Lei Feng Day. On this day, Ma Wei’s older brother Ma Gang came home from school for the weekend and improved his food. 【 】

Ma Wei's father was standing under the low eaves feeding the two gray pigeons he just got from the countryside. Ma Wei's mother came out of the dark kitchen built by the door.

"You are either fishing or messing with your pigeons all day long. The child is about to practice and assign work, so you don't care." Before entering the main house, Ma Wei's mother stopped behind Uncle Ma, dissatisfied Count down.

"Ma Gang and the others are assigned by the state, what can I do?" Uncle Ma replied without looking back.

"Package distribution is package distribution, but you don't even think about it. If you don't walk around, what kind of good job can you get? Do you want him to go down the well too?".

"He's studying at a technical school for coal mines. Why don't he go down to the mine?" Uncle Ma's attention was still on the two pigeons.

"You are such a father, huh, sooner or later I will kill your two pigeons." Aunt Ma was quite dissatisfied with Uncle Ma's attitude, stomped her foot, and went into the house to scoop rice and wash it.

At this time, Ma Gang was lying on the sofa in the living room, listening to his younger brother bragging about their glorious deeds in the technical school. It was the incident where Chen Kangjie took them to the technical school to settle Zhang Jingbo.

"Ma Gang, have you heard where you will be assigned?", that being said, it is impossible for Uncle Ma to be indifferent to his son's future in his heart. After taking care of the two pigeons, he returned to the living room immediately. Just ask Ma Gang.

Seeing his father coming in, Ma Wei immediately stopped talking, and Ma Gang quickly sat up from the sofa.

"I heard that they are going back to our mine and may dig a team. As for what will happen, I haven't received the final notice yet," Ma Gang replied with some helplessness.

"Digging a team? That's not okay." After hearing the conversation between their father and son, Aunt Ma put down the rice bowl, wiped her wet hands on her waist twice, and walked into the living room to interrupt.

"Why not? Isn't that good? The wages of the first team and the second team are good." Uncle Ma seems to be quite satisfied with this allocation.

"Hmph, don't forget, in the gas explosion last year, the six people who died were from the first team of diggers." Aunt Ma gave the reason why it didn't work.

The first and second digging teams are mainly in charge of mining in the mine. Although the salary is good for the mine, they are dirty and tiring. They have to go underground more than ten kilometers away from the wellhead for work, and the risk factor is also high. Under the current safety system and safety facilities, accidents occur almost every year, which is why many contract workers are employed in the mine.

"Didn't those people all get more than 2 yuan in compensation?" Uncle Ma's words were a bit heartless, but he was actually out of luck.

"More than 2 yuan? Is your son's life only worth more than 2 yuan?" Aunt Ma glared at Uncle Ma, her words were almost sarcastic.

"It doesn't mean that, of course it doesn't mean that, I..., what do you say?" Uncle Ma took out a Da brand cigarette and sat on the old sofa, lit it, and took a deep puff.

"What should I do? Of course, try to put it on the ground as much as possible, such as the ventilation team, the gas team, the logistics team, etc. The salary is a little less, but it's safe." Although Aunt Ma is only a housewife and not an employee of the mine, she is in I have lived in the mine for decades, and the division of labor for those workers is still clear.

"How can I do that? I'm just an ordinary worker, and I have nothing to do with their technical school, let alone command the leaders of the mine to pick people from the technical school." Uncle Ma didn't even raise his head when he was speaking, smoking a cigarette .

"Father, there is someone who can help," Ma Gang interjected.

"Who?... You mean... Secretary Chen?" After Uncle Ma asked himself, he hesitated a little and knew who his son was talking about.

"That's right, Chen Qigang is now the secretary of the district committee, so it's easy to solve such a small matter." Aunt Ma sat down next to Uncle Ma happily.

"You said that he was the secretary of the district committee. You thought he was the one we wanted to find. I heard that he hates going through the back door the most. Before, several families in our mine also went to him for their children's work. They were all rejected. Declined." Uncle Ma threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it with his foot.

Ever since he became the head of the district, Chen Kangjie has paid special attention to his every move, and he basically doesn't do much about going through the back door. Even if he has been the deputy mine manager in the underground mine, he only helps the mine through other legitimate ways. development on.

"That's someone else, we are different, their family Xiaojie and our family Ma Wei are best friends, others don't need to help, can't Ma Wei's brother also help?"

When Ma Wei was mentioned by his mother, he raised his head triumphantly, as if he had achieved a great achievement.

"They are children, can the relationship between children affect adults? No, no."

"You haven't tried it yet, how do you know it won't work? I think that's all you have to offer." Aunt Ma was quite dissatisfied and contemptuous of Uncle Ma's retreatism.

"I think, you can talk to Chen Kangjie about this matter first, and see what he thinks. Chen Kangjie is very capable, and his father likes him the most." Ma Wei was very proud of being praised just now, so he took the initiative to help analyzed.

"Yes, yes, look, you don't have a son who thinks about things, Ma Wei, you don't have class today, you go down the mountain quickly and invite Chen Kangjie to our house to play, and then I will help your brother and ask him." Aunt Ma stood up excitedly.

"Okay", Ma Wei was very proud of being able to receive such an important task, and he jumped up and planned to run outside.

"Stop, stop, come here, here is ten yuan, and then buy some delicious snacks to entertain others." Aunt Ma called Ma Wei who was in a hurry to go out, and took out ten yuan from the pouch between his trousers and stuffed it into Ma Wei's pocket. hand.

Now Ma Wei will be happier and more excited. Although he basically doesn't need to spend money when he is with Chen Kangjie, how can Ma Wei not be excited to be able to increase his pocket money by ten yuan? There is no shortage of money spent.

When Ma Wei came to Chen Kangjie's house, Chen Kangjie was sorting out some English songs in his room. Since Chen Kangjie had already made a movie, he planned to enter the music circle. Just like making a movie, he planned to start with overseas markets first.

"Damn, brother, you come to play with me, do you need to sweat profusely?" Chen Kangjie turned around from his chair and saw that Ma Wei's face was covered in sweat.

"Lao Wen, I'm not here to play with you today, I'm here to invite you to my house." Ma Wei wiped his forehead with his sleeve and panted.

"Oh? Please let me go to your house? What's the matter?".

Ma Wei told Chen Kangjie the purpose and the ins and outs of the matter, "Tell me, can you help me with this matter? I finally did something to save face at home, you have to help me."

"Hehe, it must be your kid's idea to find me, right?" Chen Kangjie put the cap on the pen head and stood up.

"Hey, you are indeed a good buddy, you guess right, how about it, will you help me?" After finishing speaking, Ma Wei stared at Chen Kangjie expectantly.

"Let's go, let's go to your house first, then talk to your brother first." Chen Kangjie slapped Ma Wei on the shoulder, and walked out with him.

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't ignore it." Since Chen Kangjie said that, Ma Wei, who knew him well, knew that Chen Kangjie planned to help.

On the way back to the mine, Ma Wei said that he would invite Chen Kangjie's customers to drink. Chen Kangjie didn't refuse, and went to a roadside canteen to get two bottles of black tea, but Chen Kangjie still paid for it.

Aunt Ma watched her son and Chen Kangjie come back drinking a bottle of black tea alone, and thought it was Ma Wei who used the ten yuan to entertain Chen Kangjie, she was very happy, as if she was short of hands and short of mouth.

"Xiaojie, I haven't come to our house for a long time. Let's stay here and have dinner with Ma Wei today." Aunt Ma thought that Chen Kangjie didn't know the purpose of coming here, so she took the initiative to invite Chen Kangjie to finish dinner at his house.

"Okay, I haven't tasted Aunt Ma's cooking for a long time, hehe", Chen Kangjie was not hypocritical, since he came and didn't want Ma Wei to lose face, Chen Kangjie would not refuse this meal.

"You go to the living room to chat and watch TV first, and I will finish it right away," Aunt Ma smiled happily.

In the living room, Chen Kangjie said hello to Ma Wei's father, and Uncle Ma was called out by Aunt Ma.

It turned out that she hadn't thought of keeping Chen Kangjie for dinner in advance, and the family hadn't prepared, so Aunt Ma turned her attention to Uncle Ma's two pigeons.

"What, you want to kill these two pigeons?".

"Yeah, otherwise, what kind of entertainment would you give? Could it be that your son's work can't match your two pigeons?".

"Well, that's the only way to go." Uncle Ma sighed, and then he stretched out his hand to lift the bird cage under the eaves with some reluctance.

"Give it to me", Aunt Ma stretched out her hand to pick it up.

"You can't kill pigeons, they don't taste good. If you eat pigeons, you have to drown in water." Uncle Ma didn't let go, but looked at the two lovely pigeons he had just fed.

"Okay, then hurry up and do it, I'll boil the water."

Chen Kangjie just chatted with Ma Gang in the living room, and he knew that he really didn't want to work underground. The reason he didn't want to work was not because he was afraid of getting dirty or tired, but because he felt that the risk factor was too great.

After receiving such information, Chen Kangjie felt confident. It may be because he had just drank half a bottle of black tea. Chen Kangjie was a little anxious and wanted to go out to the bathroom. As soon as he went out, he saw Uncle Ma pressing two pigeons down one by one. In a large basin filled with water, the wings of two pigeons are flapping and struggling in the water in pain, which makes people feel extremely painful and cruel.

During this dinner, facing a large plate of delicious braised pigeon meat, Chen Kangjie didn't take the initiative to pick up a piece. The two pieces that Aunt Ma took the initiative to pick up for him, Chen Kangjie just took a bite and quickly vomited.
