Chapter 10

Li Heng sighed, and didn't continue talking. Anyway, this is still Lu Bo's own family business, and it's not good for him to talk too much.

After thinking about it, he can only say goodbye now, and the atmosphere will only be more embarrassing if he stays any longer.

"Okay, then Uncle Lu, I'll go first, and you can call me if you need anything."

"Okay~"

After Li Heng left, Lu Chengfei's crooked face slowly returned to normal, and then he took the bowl back to the pot, although he was reluctant, he still filled the bowl of taro porridge, and started to drink it.

Ever since he was a child, he has never had a good time following this unrelated younger brother.

On the one hand, the two of them have different personalities, and if they are not the same type of people, they will not be able to speak together.

On the other hand, he felt that in the eyes of his father, he was not as good as this irrelevant guy. Although Li Heng was not very good, everything was relative.

Ever since he was a child, Li Heng has always been the one with a good character, and his studies pass quickly. It is not easy to be admitted to a university in such a small mountain village.

So compared to himself, Li Heng is a proper "other people's child".

Seeing his father taking care of this kid like this, always saying that he is good and promising, he is so angry that his jealousy keeps multiplying into resentment.

But this kind of jealousy didn't change his nature. He didn't think that this difference was caused by his personal behavior. On the contrary, he didn't think about aggressiveness and misbehavior. He dropped out of junior high school and went to mess around. Later, he became addicted to gambling.

Playing cards day and night, fried chicken, mahjong, Pai Gow... I haven't learned any skills in the past few years, but I have learned all the gambling skills.

After finishing the porridge, he asked as if suddenly thinking of something: "Eh? Why is he coming back at this time? And what does he mean by asking you to find him anytime?"

Uncle Lu replied angrily: "Xiao Heng has resigned and is at home now."

The fat on Lu Chengfei's face twitched violently, a sense of satisfaction and joy burst out from the bottom of his heart, and then he burst out laughing.

"Ha! Look, what am I talking about, what's the use of going to college to study?? Isn't it still gray and autumn, and you can come back, how can you be better than me?"

"Hey, did he give you money? Did he give you a lot?"

Uncle Lu scolded with an old face: "Do you still want to show your face?!"

But Lu Chengfei has long been used to being scolded, and he doesn't care that his old man turned his back on him. Instead, he leaned closer and whispered mysteriously:

"Boss, have you thought about what I told you last time? The boss is still very sincere, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Boteng stood up and shook his arms: "Are you still thinking about that place? Little bastard, you want to sell my roots?!"

……

On the way back, Li Heng thought about something silently.

He remembered that his father had told him about Uncle Lu's life before, saying that he was also a miserable person in the past, even worse than Li Heng. When he was young, he had no parents and grew up boarding in other people's homes.

I let people off cattle and sheep, planted rice seedlings, planted wheat, cut rice and weeded weeds. I worked as a carpenter and a bricklayer. I have been diligent and honest all my life. I have been working hard since I can remember. I have worked hard for almost 20 years before changing With a few acres of land and house land, I have a place to stand.

Later, someone introduced him to his aunt, and they got married in the brick house he built with his own hands. Later, he had Da Fei again, so Uncle Lu worked even busier and more diligently to earn money to support his family.

Lu Bo is the most standard and traditional model of an ordinary laboring peasant male. What he wants in his life is nothing more than the most simple ideal from ancient times to the present-marry a wife, have children, and settle down.

He has never been lazy in helping others, and he will never be short of food when buying and selling food. He will help others when they are in trouble. What a fate.

More than 20 years ago, at the turn of summer and autumn, there was a sudden heavy rain. The water level of the Leishan Reservoir in the back was urgent, which might cause mountain torrents.

But the station staff of the reservoir concealed the cracks in the side dike of the dam. When the night rainstorm reached its maximum, the water level was below the critical point, causing a small-scale collapse. The water flow directly washed away the duty point in the forest. Lu Bo's wife right there.

Uncle Lu was lucky enough not to be on duty at the time, but was tying a stable rope on a nearby high rock. It was only ten steps away, and in just three breaths, he just watched helplessly as the person next to his pillow disappeared into the flood. And there is no way.

Afterwards, the crack in the embankment involved construction problems. It was a project of a well-known local road and bridge construction contractor. Perhaps it was done well up and down, but the truth was so abruptly blocked until many years later that the company did not manage well. It was about to close down, and after entering the bankruptcy review stage, I found this old story from the pile of past documents, and understood that the cause of the accident was to replace the dam materials with lower-priced road and bridge materials in order to save costs.

But it doesn't make much sense anymore, the company that has already gone bankrupt has no ability to pay compensation, and the main personnel who should be responsible have long since disappeared, or because other economic crimes have already entered.

These were even more meaningless to Uncle Lu. Since then, he had only his half-year-old son, the only family member left.

However, he worked hard to farm, and the only blood he had raised did not bring him any happiness. Instead, it was just anger, annoyance, and disappointment again and again...

Judging from the result theory, Lu Bo's life was a complete failure.

Although he did nothing wrong, life or fate did not favor him.

As an ordinary human being, or an ordinary life, it is so helpless to be born into this world without any warning, giving birth to spiritual wisdom, but cannot really control the destiny of this life.

Helplessness, pain, sadness, resentment... always linger around, love parting, resentment and hatred, and not getting what you want are all suffering.

The root of this kind of pain is the difference in cognition and ability. All good things can be illusory in the conception of wisdom, but the reality is so far away, powerless, and limitless.

It is precisely because people are mortals!

Li Heng clenched his fists, but now God gave him a chance to get out of this vicious circle!

If he is strong enough, he will not be bossed around by others. If he is strong enough, he will not give up the love in his heart. If he is strong enough, then the tragedy of his parents can be saved. If he is strong enough, he can...

As long as he is... strong enough!

All regrets and all pains have room for reversal.

"Boy!"

While Li Heng was meditating, someone suddenly interrupted him.

When Li Heng looked up, he saw a villager standing on the ridge not far away, looking at him in amazement, he shouted, "Why are you still so slow? Don't you choke on the smoke?"

"Ok?"

Li Heng looked up in a daze, only to find that the smoke and mist around him was the thick smoke from burning straw in the fields not far away.

After he reacted, he felt a little choking, but it was not as strong as he imagined. It was just that his nose and throat were a little itchy, but he quickly covered his nose and ran away.

After running out of the range of smoke, he let go of his palm and felt his nose itch, and heard an "Ah Chih".

A small puff of black smoke came out of his mouth and nose.
