official journey ups and downs

Seeing that the day of leaving is getting closer, there are still two people in Shen Tong's heart that he can't let go of, that is Li Maoshan from Qiaobei Village and Wei Ergou from Xiwan Village.

Since the last time Li Maoshan proposed that he wanted to go out to work, Shen Tong actively helped him contact him. With the help of his sister Shen Xia, he found a job at a construction site in Zhaobei City. Li Maoshan gave up the idea of ​​going out.Leaving home is a last resort. Since there is a place to make money at the door of the house, why go outside and suffer from the wind and sun.

After learning that Shen Tong was going to be transferred, Li Maoshan came to the town on a broken bicycle and told Shen Tong what he thought.

Although Tiancheng Company has signed an investment intention agreement with the county, the specific operation has not yet been implemented.He heard from Guo Weijian that the preliminary procedures are very complicated, and it is estimated that the start of construction will not start until the beginning of next spring.It is already the end of summer and early autumn, which means that Li Maoshan will have to wait for half a year.

After much deliberation, Shen Tong decided to ask Li Maoshan to help his father.Shen Tong's father, Shen Jianzhu, has been short of manpower since he expanded his breeding scale this year, and he can't do it alone.So he called his father for advice, but his father readily agreed.After Li Maoshan learned about it, he was moved to tears.

After solving Li Maoshan's matter, Shen Tong decided to go to Wei Ergou's house.Since the last time Wei Ergou went up the mountain to cut pig feed and slipped down the mountain and broke his leg, Shen Tong has not seen him again.Shen Tong decided to go home before going to the county party committee office. Before leaving, he walked to Xiwan Village.

Xiwan Village is not big. After entering the village, Shen Tong saw Wei Yuan, the son of Wei Ergou, carrying a slop bucket, staggering towards his backyard.After seeing Shen Tong, he dropped the bucket and ran home. After a while, Wei Ergou limped out.

Wei Ergou was visibly haggard, Shen Tong hurried forward, supported Wei Ergou and said, "Uncle Ergou, slow down, let's go into the house."

Under the influence of Shen Tong, Wei Ergou got rid of his gambling addiction and started breeding.This move caused quite a stir in the whole village, everyone thought Wei Er Gougou couldn't get rid of eating shit, and certainly wouldn't last for a few days.Unexpectedly, Wei Ergou actually persevered and bought a dozen piglets with 2000 yuan funded by Shen Tong. Under his careful care, the dozen pigs have grown strong and strong. It can be released in a month.

Wei Ergou's bucking trend was recognized by the whole village.Under his influence, some people in the village also started large-scale farming.

When Shen Tong came, Wei Ergou remembered the money he owed him.Wei Ergou said tremblingly: "Cadr Shen, I may not be able to pay back your money for a while, but don't worry, your money will be treated as a usury, and I will definitely return it to you with the principal and interest when I have it." .”

"Uncle Ergou, where are you going? There is no rush for the money. If you have it, you can pay it back. If you don't, you don't have to. I'm here to see you today. I'm leaving Shihe Town." Shen Tong said.

Hearing that Shen Tong was going to leave, Wei Ergou was obviously a little excited. He jumped down from the edge of the kang and said excitedly: "Officer Shen, why are you leaving? Could it be that Cai Baozi pushed you out? If it is true Don’t look at me as a cripple, just break his leg anyway.” He also vaguely heard some rumors about Shen Tong’s dispatch to Qiaobei Village. Persuasion is back.

Looking at Wei Ergou's expression, Shen Tong knew that he was sincerely looking out for his own good, and was very relieved in his heart, so he pressed him down and said, "What are you talking about, I'm going back to the county seat, this is a good thing."

Hearing this, Wei Ergou's excited mood calmed down, and he smiled Hanhan: "So, you have been promoted to the top, then I should call you Leader Shen from now on, hehe."

"Just call me Shen Tong, I'm not so famous." Shen Tong dealt with the villagers in Qiaobei Village all day long, and their simplicity came from the heart.He asked again: "How is it? Are you going well?" Shen Tong pointed to the pigsty.

When it came to raising pigs, Wei Ergou got excited again, and said, "It's very good, I calculated an account, and by the end of the year, if a pig is calculated at 800 yuan, I can sell more than 1 yuan at once. , I will also be a ten thousand yuan household by then, hehe.” Wei Ergou can persist until now, all relying on calculating how much money he can earn at the end of the year every day.

Shen Tong was also happy that Wei Ergou earned money, he glanced at Wei Yuan next to him, and said, "Uncle Ergou, you promise me one thing."

"Don't say one thing, I will agree to ten things." Wei Ergou said in a happy mood at the moment.

"Do you still remember what I said to you at the beginning? Knowledge changes destiny. After you make money, you must let Wei Yuan continue to study. Do you want him to stay in the village for the rest of his life?" Shen Tong said seriously.

When Wei Yuan heard about himself, he lowered his head in shame.Wei Ergou plans to continue to expand the scale after earning money next year. There is no labor in the family, and now he is crippled again. He glanced at Shen Tong helplessly and said: "Hey! Officer Shen, you have seen the situation at home, it's not me. If you are willing to let him go to school, if he leaves, it is all up to me, and I am too busy."

Wei Ergou told the truth, but Shen Tong still said firmly: "I don't care what you think, Wei Yuan must go to school, don't you agree to me?"

Wei Ergou hesitated and reluctantly agreed to Shen Tong.

Shen Tong left the phone to Wei Ergou, chatted a few words and left Xiwan Village.

Back in the town, Shen Tong packed up his things, said goodbye to his comrades one by one, then put his bags on his back, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he turned his head and bid farewell to Shihe Town step by step.

Walking to the waiting place, a motorcycle roared past, stirring up dust.The people waiting for the bus did not retreat because of the dust, but still looked at the distance calmly.Shen Tong suddenly had an illusion, as if he had returned to the scene on the first day of work. Although more than half a year had passed, it was still clearly visible.

After a while, the bus drove over. At this moment, Shen Tong looked back at the place where he had fought. There were laughter, tears, confusion, gains and losses, and even everything and everyone emerged. in sight.Zhao Yitang, Ma Guotao, Cai Jiaquan, Qin Qihua, Yan Dongxu, Yuan Caiyun, even the cook Liu Ma in the cafeteria, and Liu Huiman who returned to school, at this time, there is no hatred, only reluctance.

After getting on the bus, the shuttle bus moved forward slowly. From today on, it was time to bid farewell to Shihe Town. Shen Tong leaned his head against the glass, feeling infinite sadness welling up in his heart.Here, I have learned to be strong, to be brave, and to let myself go from the simplicity of not knowing the world to the maturity of the world, which is a precious wealth in life.

Farewell, my dear colleague!

Farewell, Stone River Town!
