The Pentium Era - South to North

The four of them went to Tuxiangyuan. Zhang Chen gave the recipe to Xiao Wu and asked him to order. Xiao Wu took the recipe and turned it over several times with a look of embarrassment on his face. Apparently he was not used to doing such things and sat down. Tan Shuzhen, who was beside him, said, "Let me have some."

Xiao Wu said yes, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly gave the recipe to Tan Shuzhen, who quickly ordered the dishes.

After the food arrived, Xiao Wu was a little cautious at first, but soon started to gobble it up. However, he realized it immediately, raised his head, and said to Zhang Chen and the others with some embarrassment:

"The food here is so delicious, the food on the farm and on the train..."

"It doesn't matter, Xiao Wu, we are all family members, just feel free to eat." Zhang Chen said quickly, Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen kept nodding.

Xiao Wu said thank you and started eating again. He was a little polite at first, but after a while, he became ravenous again. When he realized it, he looked up at the other three, and they all looked at him with a smile.

Xiao Wu said: "There is no way. On the farm, you have time to eat. If you don't eat quickly, it won't work."

"No one limits you here, Xiao Wu." Tan Shuzhen said, "You can eat as long as you want."

Zhang Chen and the other three looked at Xiao Wu with smiles on their faces, but a little sad in their hearts.

After eating, he returned to Zhang Chen's office. Zhang Chen went to Zhao Jingjing's place next door and took a bag of money. He gave it to Xiao Wu when he came back. Xiao Wu refused to take it, Liu Ligan said, "Take it, Xiao Wu." When we go home, what can we do without money? Don’t lose face in front of the villagers. We have to earn this face. If we can, we will have a feast.

Tan Shuzhen also said: "Take it, Xiaowu, brother Zhang Chen, the most important thing you need now is money. Don't feel embarrassed. When you come back, it is more important than anything else."

Zhang Chen nodded.

Xiao Wu then accepted the money and said to Zhang Chen, thank you, Brother Chen! I also told Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen, thank you Brother Ganzi, thank you Sister Zhen!

Zhang Chen called Xiao Sheng and asked him to take Xiao Wu back to Yongcheng. The three of them went downstairs to see Xiao Wu off. Back upstairs, Zhang Chen called Xu Qiaoxin and asked her to see if she could free up a house. Come, Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen knew this was prepared for Xiao Wu, Liu Ligan shouted:

"Why bother? I already have an empty room in my house, so Xiao Wu and I can live there."

Zhang Chen originally wanted to ask, is it convenient for Xiao Wu to live with you, so that it doesn't hinder your dream of mandarin ducks and butterflies? But with Tan Shuzhen nearby, it was hard for Zhang Chen to say, so he could only ask: "Are you sure?"

"What's really uncertain is that we even stayed in the same room in Haicheng." Liu Ligan said.

Zhang Chen and Xu Qiaoxin said, "Well, you don't have to worry about this."

…

This period of time happened to be when Zhang Xiangbei was most idle and bored. Other students in the class were busy preparing for the high school entrance examination, and even Sun Xiangyang had no time to play with him.

The teachers all know that Zhang Xiangbei has been admitted to a high school in the United States and will go to the United States in a few months. If he fails to pass the high school entrance examination, for him, it is just a formality. In Zhang Chen's words, it is just a look. The teachers didn't care about him at all, not even whether he came to class or not, let alone what he did in class, as long as he didn't disturb others.

After school every day, the whole class will always be stayed by the teacher of this or that class to make up a first-level class. The first words of all the teachers entering the classroom are:

"Zhang Xiangbei, you can finish school now. The other students will stay."

Zhang Xiangbei left the classroom under the disappointed "Ah" sounds and envious eyes of his classmates.

Xiao Wu returned to Yongcheng for two days and then came back. He signed up for a driving training school. He learned driving at the driving school during the day and had nothing to do at night. Even the few courses at the driving school were easy for him as an experienced driver. of.

Xiaowu knew that Zhang Xiangbei was going to the United States in July. He told Zhang Chen that he should let Xiangbei train with me. We will not bully others when we go out, but we still need to have the ability to protect ourselves from being bullied by others. Otherwise, , he is alone in such a far place, even if he is bullied, you are so far away, there is nothing you can do.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "He is going to study, who else would bully him in school?"

"Why are there no more? Big fish eat small fish. This is true all over the world. Even in the farm where we have such strict control, we still rely on our fists to speak." Xiao Wu said.

Liu Ligan agreed with Xiao Wu's statement. He said: "Zhang Chen, have you forgotten the incident of Xiang Nan slapping Curly Hair? Even in China, when I was in elementary school, such things would still happen. Let alone abroad, he was in In the class, he is completely different.”

Zhang Chen was right when he thought about it. Even if it was for no other reason than just exercising, it would be good.

They cleared an open space in the fabric warehouse next door as a training ground. Xiao Wu went downstairs to buy equipment and installed it. From then on, every afternoon, Xiao Wu rode his bicycle to the school gate to wait for Zhang Xiangbei. Then two people rode back on a bicycle.

After arriving here, they trained for a while, and then the four of them had dinner together in Zhang Chen's office. After dinner, they took a rest. Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan went about their own business, and Xiao Wu led Zhang Xiangbei to train again.

After training, if Zhang Chen is in the office, Zhang Xiangbei will put the bicycle in Zhang Chen's trunk and go back with him. If Zhang Chen is not there, Xiao Wu will still take one bicycle per person and take Zhang Xiangbei home.

Since training with Xiao Wu, Zhang Xiangbei no longer calls him "Uncle Xiao Wu", but "Master" instead.

What surprised Zhang Chen was that Zhang Xiangbei, a person who usually seemed very tired, was very interested when he started practicing. In addition, he had the experience of playing badminton in elementary school, and his body flexibility and coordination were very good. Very good, progressing quickly.

Sometimes Zhang Chen went over to watch their training, and he was a little scared. When he saw Zhang Xiangbei on the training ground, he seemed to be a different person, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Zhang Chen quietly asked Xiao Wu if Zhang Xiangbei was too murderous and would he cause trouble if he went out?

Xiao Wu said no, he was still very measured. When we were training, of course we were required to be murderous, but it was two different things when we came down. Xiang Bei reminded me of a person.

"Who?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Yilin." Xiao Wu said, "Do you remember Yilin?"

"Of course." Zhang Chen said.

"Yilin is very good now. Xiangbei is the same as Yilin. They are both good and kind-hearted people. They can't do bad things, but they must be able to protect themselves from being harassed by bad people. You also know that bad people are all Those who bully the weak are afraid of the strong. Once they succeed in bullying you, they will want to ride on you for the rest of their lives." Xiao Wu said.

"You are still in contact with Yilin, what is he doing now?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xiao Wu smiled and said nothing more.

Sometimes Zhang Chen thought that Xiao Wu's words were right, but sometimes he still felt a little scared. He could only use his time to constantly talk to Zhang Xiangbei about the principles of life, especially the principle that people will not offend me and I will not offend others.

This Saturday, Tan Shuzhen will take Xiang Nan to the north to watch a movie in the evening. Zhang Xiangbei will not train today. Tan Shuzhen will take him away in the evening, saying that she will take them to eat Japanese food and then watch a movie.

Originally, Zhang Chen and the others were planning to go with them, but Li Yong called and said he was coming, so they changed their plans temporarily and only Tan Shuzhen and the three of them went.

Li Yong arrived at Zhang Chen's office and saw Xiao Wu. He was stunned for a moment and said, "This, this, this is not..."

"Xiao Wu." Zhang Chen said.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Wu! Why do you look so familiar? Haha, hello, Xiao Wu."

Li Yong smiled and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu shrank back a little, and Liu Lizhan shouted from the side:

"Xiao Wu, if you don't hurry up and hold on, this fat man is no longer Mayor Li, but the dignified Mayor Li of Hangzhou City."

Xiao Wu held Li Yong's hand and said, I know, I know, I saw it in the newspaper.

Li Yong waved his hand and shouted: "What's wrong with the mayor? When we get here, there is no mayor, only friends."

Zhang Chen and Liu Lizhang sat down and chatted with Li Yong. Li Yong asked Xiao Wu to sit too. Xiao Wu smiled and said that I am still used to standing.

Xiao Wu stood aside for a while and then went out.

When the food was served from the canteen below, they were about to start eating. Xiao Wu hadn't come back yet. Zhang Chen called Xiao Wu's phone number. The phone rang several times before the call was answered. Zhang Chen asked where Xiao Wu was?

"I'm outside, Brother Chen." Xiao Wu said.

"Come back soon, it's time to eat." Zhang Chen said.

Xiao Wu hesitated on the phone and said to Zhang Chen: "Brother Chen, I won't go back. You guys can eat. I can eat whatever I want outside."

"Why?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I think, I think...Brother Chen, Li Yong is now the executive deputy mayor, and I am a released prisoner. We had dinner together. If word spread, it might not be good for him."

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought of this. Zhang Chen said, okay.

Zhang Chen hung up the phone. Li Yong and Liu Ligan both looked at him. Liu Ligan asked, "What did Master Quan Bao say?"

Zhang Chen told them what Xiao Wu meant on the phone. Liu Ligan sighed and said, this Xiao Wu is still so sensible.

"That's unreasonable!" Li Yong patted the table and said, "Zhang Chen, call him again. If the call goes through, I'll come and talk to him."

Zhang Chen dialed Xiao Wu's number again and the call went through. Zhang Chen said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, please wait a moment. Li Yong has something to say to you."

Zhang Chen handed the phone to Li Yong, and Li Yong said:

"Xiao Wu, I'm Li Yong. Come back to me right now and let's have dinner together. If you don't come back, I'll ask my secretary to come tomorrow and take you to my office as a guest. If you make a mistake alone, you'll be fine. , don’t feel that you will be inferior to others all your life and that you can’t hold your head high. The fact that you were released so many years in advance shows that your performance on the farm is not average.

"Our party's policy is also to 'learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones, treat the sick and save the patient'. I, Li Yong, will not feel ashamed to have dinner with you. Unless you, Xiao Wu, look down on me, Li Yong, you will come back to me immediately. Did you hear that? I just heard After listening to Zhang Chen’s words, I felt so irritable on my face! How fucking powerful the official is, making people afraid to approach him."
