official journey ups and downs

Through the episode of smoking, Shen Tong thinks that Wei Ergou can still make sense. He is kind at heart, or forced to make a living, or forced by unfair fate, so he has no choice but to take this road.

Shen Tong asked: "Uncle Ergou, how many children do you have? How old are they?"

Speaking of children, Wei Ergou was obviously a little sad.He lay on his side on the bed, his eyes were choked by the smoke, and he looked dimly at the night scene outside the window.There is a bustling scene outside the window. Compared with Xiwan Village, where I have lived all my life, one is heaven and the other is hell.

Wei Ergou flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Two, a boy and a girl. The boy is 17, and the girl is 12."

Shen Tong asked immediately: "Then you come out, who cares about them?"

When asked about this, Wei Ergou was obviously a little nervous, because he didn't think that who would cook for the child after he left.He stopped smoking and looked at Shen Tong without blinking.

Shen Tong didn't pursue this topic, and continued to ask: "Are the two children studying well? Do you usually tutor?"

This problem stumped Wei Ergou again, because he never cared about the children's studies, let alone tutoring.Wei Ergou fell silent, lowered his head and smoked.

Shen Tong walked to the window, looked out of the window and said, "Uncle Ergou, look how beautiful the night scene is! Have you thought about letting your children live in the provincial capital?"

Shen Tong didn't look at Wei Ergou, and continued: "I also came from the countryside. I was admitted to the university and came to the provincial capital. I have lived in this city for five years. If it is not for other reasons, I will stay in this city forever. Our rural areas People can’t be compared with those in the city. There are parks here, but we only have countryside; there are movie theaters here, but we only have TV sets; Knowledge can change. Do you want your children to stay in the countryside like you do?"

"Your two children have lost their mother's love since they were young. This incomplete love puts them under a lot of pressure. But now, you abandon them, but do nothing all day long, smoking, drinking, gambling, and now suing, you say, Do you think you can do them justice? Do you know how much you're going to hurt them?"

Wei Ergou picked up his trembling hands and continued to smoke, but he didn't even know that the cigarette had been burned out.

Seeing Wei Ergou's psychological changes, Shen Tong felt that his words had worked, so he continued: "As far as I know, you said that Tan Zhigao invaded your foundation back then. According to historical records, the land where you build your house now is His family, besides, Tan Zhigao has already paid 500 yuan in compensation. Your wife’s death was not directly related to Tan Zhigao, but out of humanitarianism, he gave you another 500 yuan in funeral expenses. But you, money Where did you go? Didn’t you just let you smoke and drink?”

"So, even if you report your matter, they won't solve it for you. If you really lack money, I can give it to you. Tell me, how much do you want?"

After being ridiculed by Shen Tong for a while, Wei Ergou had completely lost his fighting spirit, and sat there without talking, smoking cigarettes one by one.

Shen Tong walked up to him, moved a chair and sat down.He also took a cigarette from the pack and lit it.

Shen Tong returned to the topic at the beginning, and said: "Uncle Ergou, you have to believe me, I will help your child with homework, what do you think?"

Wei Ergou suddenly raised his head and stammered, "Is what you said true?"

Seeing something interesting, Shen Tong said with certainty: "Uncle Ergou, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I just reported to the town government yesterday, but I can tell you with certainty that Shihe Town is where I will work in the next few years. Your child As long as there is something you don’t understand, you can go to the town government to find me.”

Wei Ergou stood up suddenly, tightly grasped Shen Tong's hand, and said, "Officer Shen, thank you so much."

Wei Ergou's thick and powerful body made Shen Tong's hand aching.Said: "Uncle Ergou, my dad and a few villagers jointly set up a breeding farm. After a few years, the benefits have been good. If you want, you can do farming by yourself, you can be self-reliant, and you can live a good life like everyone else. Life, why not do it? Do you rely on petitioning for a living from now on? What will happen when your children go to college? What will happen when you get married and have children? Have you thought about it?"

Shen Tong's words hit Wei Ergou's sore spot again. He sighed and said, "Why don't I want to? But I just can't control myself. If I don't drink alcohol, my heart will itch, and if I don't play mahjong, my hands will itch."

Shen Tong felt that Wei Ergou still had room to turn around, so he said resolutely: "From tomorrow on, you will quit. If you want, I can help you."

Wei Ergou was also moved, and said, "How can I help?"

Shen Tong thought quickly, and said, "Well, I'll lend you money to help you buy some piglets, and I'll return the money after you sell it later."

"Okay, it's a deal. I'll go back with you tomorrow, and I will support myself." Wei Ergou patted his chest and said.

"Okay, it's a deal." Shen Tong replied.Shen Tong patronized and agreed to Wei Ergou, but where did the money come from?

Wei Ergou happily took off his clothes like a child, and got ready to go to bed.Lying on the bed, I remembered what Guo Yuandong said before leaving, and the 200 yuan.For a while, tossing and turning, it was difficult to fall asleep.

Wei Ergou compared Guo Yuandong's remuneration with Shen Tong's promise back and forth, and still felt that Shen Tong's idea was more reliable.Even if you give me 500 yuan, wouldn't it be enough for me to gamble in a few days?right!Shen Tong is right, I should think about the child and the future of the child.Thinking of this, he woke up Shen Tong who was already asleep, and told him everything about Guo Yuandong.

In fact, Shen Tong didn't fall asleep either, he was recalling his happy relationship with Xu Xia.When he heard Wei Ergou's words, he was quite shocked.He hurriedly asked, "Who else knows about this?"

Wei Ergou thought for a while and said, "I don't think anyone else knows."

Shen Tong felt that this matter was so important that he could not make the decision by himself, so he exhorted: "Uncle Ergou, you have been used by others! Fortunately you told me, otherwise you would be in danger. Let me tell you, Return the money to Mayor Guo immediately after you go back, and leave the rest alone."

"Okay, Officer Shen, I'll listen to you." Wei Ergou agreed.

Early the next morning, Wei Ergou followed Shen Tong and Liu Siming back to Shihe Town, which shocked Liu Siming.

Ma Guotao and Guo Yuandong were even more shocked.
