Chapter 22 Chapter Twenty Two

When Liu Wangming was intoxicated by the dream of the secretary, Zhang Liwei was on the train going north, the fields under the night in the North China Plain, a movie was playing outside the car window, and the snoring sounded one after another in the car.The rhythmic sound of the wheels is clearer and more intense in the middle of the night. The conductor came to Zhang Liwei's sleeping position twice and helped him pull down the curtains, but Zhang Liwei raised them again.He greedily looked out the window, staring at the dark wilderness, rice paddies, fields, cottages, woods, shadowy and shadowy, flying in front of his eyes like a shadow play.He wants to escape the reality in the car and be in the quiet night sky, so that the thoughts that have been wrapped up for too long can be stretched calmly in the night sky.At this moment, he felt his heart clinging tightly to the train, speeding through the night——.

Yesterday, he asked Wang Daoguang for leave to attend a seminar in Beijing.Wang Daoguang readily agreed and helped him fulfill his reasons for attending the meeting. "That's right, as a development research center, it is necessary to often participate in some national and even world-wide academic conferences, so as to broaden research ideas and horizons, and to produce results. You should go out more and combine Xinyang's development with a purpose. We will make a comprehensive investigation of some fast-growing models at home and abroad, and provide constructive suggestions to the municipal government.”

"Thank you, Director, for your concern." "You're welcome. Whatever you want me to do, you just have to say hello. Colleagues, just care about each other. Besides, Mayor Liu attaches great importance to the work of the research center and has high hopes for you. I am obliged to do so." Wang Daoguang was speaking the truth. Although he knew Liu Wangming's social contacts, circle of friends, and daily work well, there were inevitably some omissions.The appearance of Zhang Liwei and his status in Liu Wangming's heart have always been a mystery in Wang Daoguang's mind.He only knew that Zhang Liwei was recommended by Li Ying, and that he was in Li Ying's system. As for his relationship with Li Ying and how deep it was, he still didn't know.He vaguely felt that Liu Wangming treated him unusually. Based on Wang Daoguang's observation, it was obvious that Zhang Liwei's current arrangement had cost a considerable price.Liu Wangming set up an organization specifically for Zhang Liwei, which not only pleases Li Ying, but also realizes "buying and selling" with Zhang Liwei, and no one owes anyone else.He also knows that the DRC shit is "important".

As the deputy director of the development research center of the municipal government, Zhang Wei has a special status.This is a deputy county-level organization, and Zhang Liwei does not need to be discussed by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee for Zhang Liwei to be the deputy director. Liu Wangming can do it by saying hello to Liu Maosheng.All the cadres in the agency knew that Zhang Liwei was a specially introduced talent, and with the backing of a big tree like Liu Wangming, they would naturally look at him with admiration.Therefore, in the muddy water of unknown depth, Wang Daoguang was also a little "ambiguous" about Zhang Liwei. What Zhang Liwei "researched" was up to him.Such conditions gave Zhang Liwei a lot of freedom, and gave him more opportunities to get in touch with Liu Wangming at close range, and to grasp and understand his criminal facts in the name of work logically. The odds he planned for himself were revealed A smug smile also took a smooth step to comfort the mother under Jiuquan.

Zhang Liwei's gaze moves from near to far, from the ground to the sky, and a waning moon appears in the thick clouds from time to time. He can vaguely see the dark clouds in the sky flowing, combining and changing, and some different pictures appear. He unfolds his imagination wing.Suddenly, two dark clouds merged, leaving an opening in the middle, with the faint moon as the background, and a pale light came out from the opening. This composition shocked him: it was very similar to the tragic smile his mother gave him before she died. . When He Jufen died, Zhang Liwei knelt beside her pillow with his right hand around her neck, and the mother and son were having a farewell conversation.

The neighbor aunt and aunt stood in front of the bed.The mother opened her eyes weakly, and said intermittently to the aunt and aunt beside the bed, "Li Wei is still young, so he will inevitably come back to have a look during the winter and summer vacations. For the sake of neighbors for many years, the child is here, you give him saliva." Li Wei held his mother's cold right hand tightly with his left hand, and tears kept falling down. "You are a good person, don't worry, we will greet good children." "That's-so-ok-ok." Mom struggled to move her eyeballs, "Li-Wei, Mom-in this life-nothing else, I just hope-you have something-something to do."

She smiled with difficulty. "You have to fight for mom, don't fight with him-". "Ho-ho--".A mouthful of thick phlegm rolled hard in her throat, and then stopped, and He Jufen's eyes were so wide open, so big that it made people feel chills down the spine, and they never closed them again. He Jufen has seen through her son's mind, she knows that he doesn't talk much but is very scheming, stubborn and unassuming, and no one can change his mind after making it.What worries her to death is that Zhang Liwei can't swallow this bad breath, and wants to fight Liu Wangming.A young boy who is not deeply involved in the world is no match for a villain, let alone when will the injustice be repaid?My mother left this world full of sadness, regret, and ten thousand worries.

After He Jufen was thrown into prison by Liu Wangming, because she was a state employee who committed a crime, what she embezzled was disaster relief funds, which was of a bad nature.Sentenced to six years in prison, because of her reform performance in prison, her sentence was reduced by one year. After being released from prison, He Jufen walked into a cold and lonely home.The broken cobwebs on the door frames and windows swayed in the wind, and the hall door was pushed open. In the dark and narrow hall, a portrait of her husband wrapped in black gauze was placed on a small square table.A gloomy atmosphere of resentment quickly surrounded her around her.She has no tears, tears have been shed in prison.Before the son left home, he had tidied up the house. The bedding on the bed was rolled up against the wall and covered with a sheet.The chest of drawers, the writing table, and the three-legged sofa were all covered with old newspapers.The son knows that his mother loves to be tidy, so he cleans up very carefully.The house is full of dust, rat droppings are faintly visible, and the rain marks on the glass windows have erased the warmth that the cottage once had.Five years is not too long for a human life, but He Jufen traveled as far as a few weeks around the earth, which brought her from the world to hell, and now she has lost everything a woman should have.The husband who had been in love with each other for more than 20 years couldn't bear the torture of illness and couldn't bear to drag his children down. After Zhang Liwei received the admission letter from Tsinghua University, he calmly took a bottle of sleeping pills and passed away with a smile.After being released from prison, He Jufen lived an extremely difficult life, without a job, and cut off her source of income.Her son is far away in Beijing, and He Jufen's younger siblings persuaded her to go back to the county to live with her parents. She couldn't bear to embarrass the old man with her appearance, and she couldn't drag her younger siblings down. Live in a small town in the countryside.

The best way to torture a mother is to keep her from seeing her children. She can bear the difficulties in life.The township government arranged for her to work as a temporary worker in the town's neighborhood committee for the sake of her serving as the deputy head of the township and the spirit of caring about the life and employment of the "two workers returning home".Coupled with the help from younger brothers and sisters, life can barely survive.She can accept the cold glances from acquaintances and friends, and the indifference that surrounds her.The only thing she can't accept is not seeing her son for a long time.When she was still in the cell, she had a hope of getting out of prison.Instead, the loneliness and helplessness in front of me have a kind of melancholy that will be tortured forever.During the period of time when she just came back, He Jufen wrote letters, telegrams, and phone calls again, and she must ask her son to come back and see her.

It was hard to look forward to that year's "October 1st" National Day, Zhang Liwei came back, and from the moment he got off the car, his mother has been holding his hand and pulling him home.The mother and son cried bitterly while holding their heads together.That night, his mother sat beside him and watched him fall asleep.At dawn the next day, what he saw when he woke up was his mother's smile.Zhang Liwei was shocked, stretched out his hands, stroked his mother's haggard face, and said heartbrokenly: "Mom, you can't bear it if you don't sleep all night."

"Son, do you know that seeing you sleeping next to Mom makes Mom happier than anything else." Mom put her pointed fingers into his hair and stroked it tastefully. "Do you remember, when you were young, if your mother didn't see you on a business trip or went to the countryside for a few days, the first thing she did when she came back was to sit on your bedside, look at you enough, and then go to do housework .The longest time I sat by your bedside was two days and one night." "What are you doing?" "That was the year when you were two years old. It was the flood season. Mom went to the lake area for flood control. She was in charge of a 7,000-acre levee for flood control and emergency rescue. She stood on the levee with the common people for 23 days. Then your father called and told me, You have a lot of boils on your body. You have had a high fever for two days, and you have been given medicine, but you have not improved. You went to the hospital to give you an infusion, but you refused to do it. You even took out the needle and ran home when the doctor was not paying attention. Do it, let me come back and take a look." "Why am I not impressed?" "You were very clever when you were young, and we had nothing to do. The doctor said that you can't do without an injection, but there is no good way. Later, after discussing with the doctor, I will give you an injection of hypnotics to make you fall asleep, and then give you an infusion. That's it, You slept in a daze for two days and one night, and I just sat next to you and watched you for two days and one night." Mom was immersed in happy memories, her thin face glowing red. That morning, his mother stroked his head and told about his childhood, the hardships of the educated youth, the exhaustion and responsibility of working in the commune, Liu Wangming's conspiracy and his own kindness.She told her son: To be a human being, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others. "My mother's life lesson is that she is too kind, and she sees everyone as kind as herself, so she suffers a lot." Tears trickled down from the corners of her wrinkled eyes. "Mom, Mom, I need to pee." A little boy on the lower bunk opposite Zhang Liwei put his arms around his eyes and called to his mother who was sleeping beside him, pulling his thoughts back from the distant night sky outside the window.The scene of the child calling sweetly and the scene of the mother waking up from sleep made him feel so familiar and kind.He looked at his watch, it was already past one o'clock at night.Passengers who occasionally walk around in the aisle of the carriage, seeing that there are still people sitting blankly at the window, will look this way a few more times.Zhang Liwei didn't feel sleepy, but he couldn't sit like this anymore.So he put the bedding on his back, closed his eyes, lay down on the bed, and continued to move forward with his thoughts along with the speeding train. Less than a year after being released from prison, my mother fell ill.She did not tell her son the result of the diagnosis, and every time Zhang Liwei spoke with her on the phone, she could vaguely hear her sobbing uncontrollably.He thought it was because his mother missed her son.However, the heavy learning tasks and the cost of traveling do not allow him to see his mother often. Finally, one day the neighbor called him and told her to go back to meet her mother as soon as possible, and only then did she realize the seriousness of the problem.It turned out that half a year ago, the doctor diagnosed her with advanced gastric cancer. She was afraid of interfering with her son's studies, so she dared not tell him the truth.He refused to take medicine for treatment, for fear of spending too much money.So the disease developed rapidly. When Zhang Liwei saw his mother on the hospital bed, she was already so thin that she used to touch the dimples on her mother's face with her small hands when she was acting like a baby. Now her cheeks are deeply sunken, and the dimples gone.Zhang Liwei sighed infinitely, with tears in his eyes, his mother was speechless, and shook her head, signaling him not to be sad.At the moment of parting, my mother's body suddenly straightened up, her eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs did not move.Zhang Liwei will never forget that scene.The neighbor told Li Wei: "Son, your mother is not convinced. You should help her close her eyes." Zhang Liwei burst into tears, he slowly stretched out his hand, put his five fingers together, pressed against his mother's cold forehead, and gently stroked down, helping her close her eyes. He knew that this was what people often call "death with eyes closed", and from that moment on, he made up his mind that no matter how much it cost, she would let her mother close her eyes peacefully.If this revenge is not avenged, he Zhang Wei will be ungrateful. Zhang Liwei sent his mother away tragically, and began to conceive his revenge plan with great concentration.He knew that to realize such a plan, first of all he had to rely on his own strength.While studying hard, he completed the study tasks of the undergraduate stage, and was exempted from the master's degree with excellent results.At the same time, he learned about Liu Wangming's situation from various aspects. He followed Liu Wangming's whereabouts on the Internet, collected his information, and studied his behavior, including his family life.Perhaps it was a golden opportunity, when Zhang Liwei was struggling to choose where to go after graduation, Liu Wangming was transferred to Xinyang as the mayor, and organized a group of people to recruit talents to Beijing's colleges and universities with great fanfare.Zhang Liwei resolutely decided not to stay in Beijing or his hometown, but to work in Xinyang City with Liu Wangming.He firmly believes in his own judgment. The nature of a cadre like Liu Wangming determines that it is impossible for Liu Wangming to work in a peaceful and disciplined manner. Send him to the place where he should go to prevent him from harming more kind-hearted people like his mother. Zhang Liwei not only comforted his mother under Jiuquan, let her close her eyes peacefully, but also did a good deed for the good people in the world .In this way, he chose Yunfang County, which has relatively strong economic strength and is not too far from Xinyang, to settle down.And within a short period of time, he got in touch with Liu Wangming's wife Li Ying. Unexpectedly, Li Ying was also Liu Wangming's victim. Liu Wangming not only completely abandoned her, but also used her all the time. He has not let her go so far. Zhang Liwei First approach her with hostility, then understanding, then sympathy, and finally love.He comforted Li Ying's wounded heart with great sympathy, and unexpectedly won her affection.Li Ying is kind, simple, and innocent, showing a rare honesty and innocence in the materialistic world. She loves him sincerely.So much so that when he was digging Liu Wangming's grave, two women's faces often appeared alternately in his mind: Li Ying's innocent smile and his mother's angry eyes wide open and miserable before she died.Driven by vengeance, self-blame and guilt using emotions often tortured him alternately.Li Ying never dreamed that in their emotional and physical communication, when they ecstasy each other, when Li Ying used him as the only emotional support, Zhang Liwei was weaving a net that Liu Wangming could not break free from, and he helped weave a net. This net is his wife. The rhythm of the train galloping was even and steady, and the sound of "rumbling" gradually faded away in Zhang Liwei's ears. He seemed to have come to the familiar room on the third floor of the guest house of the Construction Bureau. The room was empty, and the wide bed was gone. Li Ying threw herself at him naked, her two tall breasts throbbing.Zhang Liwei opened his arms to hug him, but there was nothing.I saw Li Ying sitting on the sofa giggling again, and kept saying that he was a "stupid".He turned to the sofa in the living room, suddenly Li Ying turned into Liu Wangming.Liu Wangming looked at him with a ferocious face, took out the pistol on his waist viciously, and said through gritted teeth, "My boy, you dare to sleep with my woman. I'll let you know how powerful I am." , top the bullet. Zhang Liwei rushed over with all his strength, but his pants kept falling down.He finally fell heavily. He woke up in a cold sweat. "Bazhou Station is here. Passengers who get off at Bazhou, please take your luggage and prepare to get off." Zhang Liwei looked at his watch, it was already past five o'clock in the morning.He was about to arrive in Beijing in a while, and he memorized the address and telephone number of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's reporting center again.Turned over to get up, came to the window in the corridor, while moving his arms, while admiring the glow of the sky, he greeted the arrival of a new day with confidence.
