The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 416 Fanwaiyi's former Qiao Weiguo (three more subscriptions)

  I originally wanted to put the episode at the end, but when I was writing the previous chapter, I suddenly felt that the episode about Comrade Wei Guo was more appropriate to receive here, so I sent out the episode of Wei Guo first.

In the summer of 1998, after a heavy rain, leaves were scattered everywhere in Qingzhao County. The long-lost sun flashed out from behind the clouds. The bright sunlight became blazing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The wet and hot steam made the county town feel as uncomfortable as a steamer.

  On the small square in front of Ningxiu Cinema, Wang Dong, the owner of the billiard hall, who was missing a knuckle, saw the sunny weather and asked the people under his hand to quickly put up the pool tables stacked in the simple room.

   In the distance, there was a yellow-haired man walking towards this side, and at first sight he was here to play billiards.

  One of them had yellow hair on their head, and the other had a bald head. They quickly came here, picked up the club and prepared to play.

   Huangmao is called Qiao Siliang, and he always looks like Laozi's number one in the world.

  The bald head is short, lean as a monkey, with a sturdy face, wearing black slippers, ripped pants, a red vest, and the three characters "Shaolin Temple" are printed in the center of the chest of the vest!

   "Weiguo!" Qiao Siliang greeted: "Come on, let's start a game!"

  Because it was not long after returning from the martial arts school, Qiao Weiguo was not playing well, and he missed the first tee shot.

  Qiao Siliang patted Qiao Weiguo on the shoulder: "You need to practice more!"

   People came to play ball one after another, and soon more than ten people gathered around the seven or eight pool tables.

  Wang Dong came to the car parked on the side of the road, ready to drive to the game hall.

Not far away, the voice of an electric horn came: "The flood is merciless, but there is love in the world! The vast Qingzhao people, let us lend a helping hand, dedicate our love, and stand together with the affected people to tide over the difficulties! With sincere love, we will make a copper wall and an iron wall, Win the overall victory of flood relief and disaster relief at an early date!"

   "...Please show your love and strength to help our compatriots in Lvjia Village, Liuwan Village, Zhangwan Village and Luozhuang Village!"

   A van came to a stop in front of the theater, and the electric horn kept playing.

  Wang Dong thought of what he had seen in the news, and thought that the flood was approaching the county seat. He went to the side door opened by the van, took out a piece of fifty yuan, and put it into the donation box.

   The sound of the electric horn was disturbed, and Qiao Siliang couldn't help but spit: "Bah!"

  Qiao Weiguo touched his bald head and looked curiously at Qiao Siliang's yellow hair. He had been out of touch with society for too long, and he was introverted and slow, so he was a little puzzled.

  Qiao Siliang glanced at the donation car, touched his cheeks, and said, "Those **** in Lujia Village deserve to be flooded!"

  Qiao Weiguo asked, "Why?"

  Qiao Siliang's eyes were red: "When I was in junior high school, Lu Kuisheng from Lujiacun blocked me and asked for money. If I didn't give him, he beat me, and my teeth were knocked out..."

  Qiao Weiguo's eyes widened: "This man is unruly! Siliang, if I meet him again, I'll call you back!"

  Qiao Siliang shook off the yellow hair hanging down in front of him: "Good brother! Wei Guo, when you return from martial arts, I will count on you!"

   Looking at Qiao Weiguo's bald head, Qiao Siliang's mind became alive. With Weiguo as a thug, maybe he could dominate Qingzhao County?

   That Lu Kuisheng, who bullied others because of his height and stature, was a ball.

  …………

   In the evening, there were guys entertaining guests at the food stalls, and Qiao Siliang specially brought Qiao Weiguo to participate.

  When the wine was hot, Qiao Weiguo went to the toilet. One of them said that he had lost his pager. Someone suggested to go to the university town to find one. Qiao Siliang felt that this was a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, so he responded immediately.

   "My brother, just came back from Shaolin learning martial arts." Qiao Siliang said to Qiao Weiguo: "Bring him, we'll be safe! However, others are special, don't talk nonsense for a while, just listen to me."

  The Water Margin is not written in the legend, you must have a certificate of entry to join the team, which is Qiao Weiguo's certificate of entry.

   This kind of thing, if you do it once, even if you get on the boat, Qiao Wei will listen to him more in the future.

  So, when Qiao Weiguo came back, Qiao Siliang said, "Weiguo, someone owes Buckya a debt, and he doesn't want to pay it back. Let's help Buckya get it back later!"

  Qiao Weiguo replied: "Okay! It's only right and proper to pay back the debt!"

After eating and drinking, four or five people rode three motorcycles. Because the main road from the county town to the university town, the flood from Lujia Village in the north flooded the Luozhuang intersection. Although the water has receded, the road is not good. Walking, a group of people took a special detour and came to the vicinity of the School of Finance.

  Three motorcycles, two with license plates.

  The university town has not been officially launched yet. Students will not come to school until the end of August. The road here is very quiet.

   The group stopped the car and stood on the side of the road waiting.

  By the moonlight, Qiao Weiguo buckled the mud on his slippers and threw it into the green belt. There was too much mud on his hands, so he first wiped it on the ground and then on his vest.

   Jiu Jin came up, his head was dizzy, and he kept getting sleepy.

   "Come on!" Buck Tooth suddenly shouted.

In front of   , there was a woman riding a bicycle. The woman was wearing a long skirt and had a bag hanging from the handlebars.

   Buck Tooth and Qiao Siliang suddenly rushed out of the green belt, which made the woman panic, and the handlebars fell off.

  Qiao Weiguo squatted on the ground before he got up, when he heard a scream from the woman, and then Qiao Siliang shouted: "Okay, let's go!"

   In a daze, Qiao Weiguo got up and got on Qiao Siliang's motorcycle, and then left in a daze.

   Next, it seemed to be broken, but Qiao Siliang sent him home.

  The girl is a university teacher. The most panicked moment passed, she hurriedly went to see the motorcycle, saw the license plate on Qiao Siliang's buttocks, and memorized it.

   picked up the bicycle and ran to the school, and called the police after the communication.

  …………

   In the morning, Qiao Weiguo dreamed of the coach, who was lying on the hospital bed, talking about the greatest regret in life.

  Intensive footsteps suddenly sounded, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a tall policeman with short hair rushed in with someone.

  Qiao Weiguo didn't understand what was going on when the short-haired policeman rushed over, grabbed him, and twisted his wrist behind his back.

  The martial arts that have been practiced so hard have no resistance at all in front of people.

  Qiao Weiguo could feel that the man's hands were shaking, and the strength was so great that he couldn't help screaming in pain.

   The people who followed behind hurriedly said, "Brother Chun, take it easy!"

  Lu Chun turned his head and said with red eyes, "Don't be long-winded, Xiang Rong, hurry up and handcuff him!"

   Putting on the handcuffs, Qiao Weiguo recovered: "What are you doing! What are you doing!"

Lv Chun pulled the man up and asked Bei Xiangrong to show the formalities: "I am Lv Chun, a police officer at the University City Police Station, and this is my certificate. Qiao Weiguo, we suspect that you are involved in a robbery case, please cooperate with us to assist in the investigation... "

   A group of people pressed the stunned Qiao Weiguo to go out, and the cries and shouts of Qiao Weiguo's parents were heard from behind.

   After getting into the police car, Lv Chun's eyes were red, and he said to Bei Xiangrong who was driving: "Press it back, and the people will be handed over to you. I have to go back and see, the village..."

  Bei Xiangrong knew that there were not many people in Lujia Village, and even the village was gone, so he comforted: "Brother Chun, condolences and change, if you need any help, just tell the brothers."

   Lu Chun's eyes turned even redder, and there were tears in his eyes. This tough man didn't want people to see his appearance, so he quickly picked up his sunglasses and put them on.

   Another great incident happened in Qiaojia Village. After Qiao Keli's accident, Qiao Siliang and Qiao Weiguo were arrested by the police again!

  Old Joe couldn't understand what was going on at all, so he hurried to the brigade and asked someone to inquire about the situation.

   Qiao Siliang is the same way.

  The people in the village quickly entrusted a big bastard, who is said to be the subordinate of Yang Fugui in the county, with great energy.

  Old Joe and Qiao Siliang, his father, survived under the advice of the middleman, and invited that big **** named Ma Yunlai to a meal at the best hotel in the county.

The man named Ma Yunlai said that things are not easy to handle. Now is the period of the crackdown, and the management is very strict. The crime of robbery will start in five years. It is not impossible for him to get people. Dollars, otherwise negotiable.

   How could Lao Qiao spend 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, so he could only go home and find a way to raise money, but people who grow grain in the countryside and borrow from relatives and friends can only collect more than 8,000 yuan.

   In the end, there was no way, Lao Qiao sold everything that could be sold at home, and even the homestead was transferred in the brigade. Finally, he collected 20,000 yuan and gave it to Ma.

   But how could Lao Qiao think that this is something that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. He took his 20,000 yuan and didn't pay for the relationship at all.

   He would never have thought that Qiao Siliang and Qiao Weiguo had become the main culprits because of the fact that the rest of the family belonged to the county seat.

   During his detention, he was unable to visit, and Lao Qiao couldn’t see his son, and could not find any other relationship, so he could only put his treasure on Ma Yunlai.

  …………

   The most difficult summer has passed, and a public trial meeting is held in the county.

  Old Qiao shivered. Under the stadium, he saw his son who was pushed onto the podium. Qiao Weiguo was still so thin and his bald head was still so bright.

  The long sentence, Lao Qiao's education level is limited, he can't understand it well, but he understands the most important sentence.

   "... Defendant Qiao Weiguo committed robbery and was sentenced to six years in prison and two years of deprivation of political rights..."

  Qiao Siliang was also convicted of a felony, but the others were only sentenced to one to two years.

  Old Joe is just uneducated, but not stupid. He knows that he is a pit.

   The 20,000 yuan that was sold by smashing pots and selling iron, and even the homestead, was hacked!

   On the day of the public trial meeting, Lao Qiao went to Ma Yun again and wanted to talk about the past, but in the face of the large number of people on the other side, not only did he not get an answer, he was beaten severely.

  The police called the police later, but it didn't work at all. In the end, a man surnamed Han from Ning Xiu's office was brought to the office and cleaned up again.

   Lao Qiao didn't dare to look for it any more, so he rented a dilapidated house in Chengguan Village with his wife, and collected the **** in the county.

   More than five years have passed in a flash, and Qiao Weiguo came out from the inside. Home is no longer home. Under the heavy debt pressure and life burden, my father and mother seem to have aged ten years in just five years.

   "Live a good life." Lao Qiao doesn't expect anything else, just be safe: "Don't go out with people anymore."

  Qiao Weiguo didn't speak, just cried.

   Since then, Qingzhao County has a shabby bald head. The bald head looks fierce, but he is silent, because he has a poor father and mother to support, and the economic conditions are very poor.

  In August 2019, Li Qima attacked, Qingzhao suffered a once-in-a-century flood, and the embankment of Qingzhao River was in emergency.

  In the dilapidated house in the village of the county town, Qiao Weiguo fed his father who couldn't get out of bed, moved a stool and sat in front of the door, watching the raindrops that kept falling outside.

   It rained for three days in a row.

  Qiao Weiguo picked up a smartphone with peeling paint and cracked tempered film, and opened Qingzhao's local Daqingzhao APP.

On the homepage of the    forum, there is a bright red post on the top. A user named Lu Dong posted a request for help.

   "The embankment of the Lujia Village section of the Qingzhao River is in emergency! Materials are in urgent need! Sand and gravel are urgently needed! Woven bags are urgently needed! Request support!"

   The pictures matched with the post, the water of Qingzhao River is almost flush with the embankment!

  Qiao Weiguo stood up: "Dad, you lie down for a while, I'll go out."

   "It's raining so hard..."

   Before Lao Qiao finished speaking, Qiao Weiguo ran out of the house and opened a room next to it, which contained the woven feed sacks he had collected the other day.

The    woven bag was placed on the tricycle, and he didn't even wear a raincoat. Qiao Weiguo rode on the tricycle and went to the nearest donation point.
