Chapter 5 chapter Five

One day, Tong Yanzhen came back from get off work at noon and saw a man sitting on the floor taking a nap at the stairway.The man was wearing a crumpled old suit, a pair of leather shoes stained with yellow mud, a denim bag by his side, and messy hair.Tong Yanzhen wondered, how could the guard let such a person in? The man just raised his head, and when she saw a familiar face, she called out in surprise, "Tong Gang?" Tong Gang rubbed his eyes, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and said, "Sister, are you off work?" Looking at her younger brother, Tong Yanzhen said distressedly, "Why do you look like a beggar?"

She hurriedly led Tong Gang upstairs and opened the door. Tong Gang walked in and said, "At first my father didn't ask me to come here, but I wanted to find a job myself. I said that my sister has been in the city for so many years and has connections. It shouldn't be difficult to help find a job. I went to the place where you used to live. People told me that my brother-in-law is now the mayor, and the whole family has moved to the city government compound. When I first arrived at the gate, the guards refused to let me in. Fortunately, I have a photo of you and me and showed them Just let me in."

Tong Yanzhen smiled, took food from the door, went to the kitchen to cook, and asked Tong Gang to take a shower and change clothes. Tong Yanzhen had just finished taking a shower, and Tong Yanzhen's meal was ready. She filled two bowls of rice and said, "Eat!" Tong Gang asked: "Where's brother-in-law? Aren't you coming back for lunch? And Taotao?" Tong Yanzhen said: "Taotao has been making up lessons at school for the past two days and doesn't come back at noon. Your brother-in-law is busy with work all day and often doesn't eat at home at noon. Your sister has become a lonely old woman."

Tong Gang wolfed down several bowls of rice, wiped his mouth with his cuff, and said, "Sister, this rice is really fragrant, even more fragrant than the rice grown by our family." Tong Yanzhen didn't say a word, this is Thai basmati rice that costs a few yuan a catty, and the rice is of course delicious.The rice in the countryside is not as good as it was a few years ago. Too many pesticides and fertilizers are used, and it tastes tasteless. The furniture in the house was shipped from the dormitory of the chemical factory. It turned out that the city decided to replace it with a new one, but Ma Guoqiang refused.Tong Gang said: "Why is it still the same? It's too simple. After all, my brother-in-law became the mayor, and the family will also change. It can't compare to a village director's family in our village?"

Tong Yanzhen smiled and said, "Don't you know your brother-in-law?" Tong Gang took a sip of tea and said, "So it's different from now. People will change. Let's just talk about those people who guard the gate at the door. When I first came, they kept pushing me out. When they saw me After taking photos with you, those people become like grandsons, and it’s different when the brother-in-law becomes a high-ranking official.” Tong Yanzhen was slightly shocked.Since Ma Guoqiang became the mayor, she has also been deeply touched by the changes in the people around her.People, the status is different.

While clearing the table, Tong Yanzhen asked, "How is the house? How is Mom?" Tong Gang said: "Mom's body is still the same, and her rheumatism has not improved." "Is Dad still in good health?" "Dad is okay, but he doesn't want to do farm work anymore. He smokes dry tobacco all day long, saying that the farm work is impossible, and told me to go to Guangdong to work. I said that going to Guangdong is worse than going to my sister's." "Why can't we do farm work?" "Hey, sister, you live in Changyuan City, and occasionally you go back and stay for a while, and you don't know the current situation in the countryside. Our family only has a few acres of land. After a year, the village and the village pay taxes and fees. After paying, there is only money left to buy the seeds.”

"Why is this? Didn't the central government have a document to reduce the burden on farmers?" "Of course I know, the agricultural tax has been reduced, and there are other fees, but the fees have not been reduced in action, and they are still increasing. Before the fee reduction, our family paid less than 1,000 yuan to the village and township a year, but After the fee reduction, you have to pay more than 1,500 yuan. The agricultural tax is gone, but the public security fee and education fee have increased a lot out of thin air. Last time you sent a few hundred yuan to your family and bought some medicine for your mother. All the rest will be handed over to the village.”

"The workers in the city are not doing well." Tong Yanzhen did not expect that some grassroots cadres would become like this. It seems that Lao Ma's clean government construction must be implemented, otherwise the peasants will not be able to live. "I want to ask my brother-in-law to help find a job." "It's really hard to find a job." "Others are hard to find, but brother-in-law is easy to find. The mighty mayor of Changyuan City is in charge of millions of people! There are so many units, any one will do. As long as the brother-in-law says something, who would dare not buy it? Life was decent before. , I won’t bother him, there’s really nothing I can do this time.” Tong Gang paused, and continued: “Sister, Chuntao and I from the village are on good terms, but her family thinks our family is poor and has never agreed. I want to come out and earn some money to go back and marry her."

Tong Yanzhen wanted to say that it was impossible for Ma Guoqiang to come forward to find a job, but she was afraid of hurting her brother's hope, so she thought about it, but didn't say anything.She changed the subject and said, "Tong Gang, don't go anywhere today. Take a rest in the afternoon and sleep in Taotao's room. Sister will go to work later." She wanted to see what jobs the company had, so she would find one for Tong Gang first. Changsheng's company was so big that it would not be a problem to arrange someone. As she worked in the company for a long time, some news gradually spread that the general manager let her in because of her husband's face.She once went to see Shi Fucai and said that she was unwilling to do it anymore, and she didn't want others to think that Shi Fucai was flattering the mayor.After hearing this, Shi Fucai immediately said that she came in through a labor service company and had nothing to do with Mayor Ma. Besides, this is a private enterprise, so who is recruiting?Of course gossip is unavoidable, as long as you act righteously, are you still afraid of others talking about it?

She felt that what Shi Fucai said was very reasonable. Because of her special status, no matter where she worked, it was inevitable that someone would gossip. She didn't want to put down her face and ask for help, but if it was known that both her siblings were working here, someone would gossip again.But besides here, she really couldn't think of any other place where she could find a job for Tong Gang. When I got home, Tong Gang was still sleeping. She had finished cooking, and Ma Guoqiang came home from get off work. He saw her doing laundry, and saw a denim bag in the living room, and said, "Who's here?"

"Tong Gang came from the countryside." "Where are people?" "Sleeping. I'll wake him up for dinner right away." Tong Yanzhen went into her son's room, woke Tong Gang up, and said, "Your brother-in-law just came back, so don't mention job hunting or your family situation. I'll tell him in the evening." Tong Gang nodded, went out of the room, saw Ma Guoqiang sitting on the sofa, and called out, "Brother-in-law!" Ma Guoqiang asked: "Oh, you're here, are the family all right?" Tong Gang sat down on one side, remembered what his sister said just now, nodded and said, "Well, yes, everything is fine!" Not long after, Ma Tao also came back, and the family sat down to eat.After the meal, Tong Yanzhen cleaned up the dishes and started to wash clothes.For so many years, she has washed all the clothes at home by hand. For a woman under the age of 40, her hands are as rough as dry branches.She has already made up her mind to buy a washing machine after she gets her salary this month. After finishing all this, she took a shower by herself, changed into a set of pajamas, and entered the room. Seeing that Ma Guoqiang was still reading documents, she walked over, sat beside her, and said in a low voice, "Tong Gang had a hard life in the country. My parents are getting older, and my mother is not in good health, so it is up to him to bear the expenses of the family alone, and he wants to find a job." Ma Guoqiang said: "It should not be difficult to find an ordinary job in the city." Tong Yanzhen said: "The wages of those jobs are very low, and they are very tiring. He wants to find a higher wage..." Ma Guoqiang said: "He didn't even finish middle school, so how can he find a good job? In today's society, you need knowledge to do everything." "My family was not well-off. After I was admitted to university, my family couldn't afford it, so I borrowed money from all my relatives. At that time, he was in the fifth grade and his studies were very good, but for me, he resolutely went home. The 11-year-old child goes to the mountains with my mother to cut firewood every day, just to make up for my living expenses." Tong Yanzhen choked up: "In this life, I owe him too much. The person who is almost 30 years old is because his family is poor and has no money. People are willing to marry him!" Ma Guoqiang put down the documents and sat beside his wife. Tong Yanzhen choked with sobs: "It was a good thing for the country to abolish the agricultural tax, but now the country is adding up all kinds of expenses, and I don't know what the expenses are. It's more than before. It's hard to make people live. It's hard for him now. I fell in love with one, and I agreed to go back to the city to earn some money and get married, and to be a sister and brother-in-law, unexpectedly..." Ma Guoqiang said: "With regard to the issue of farmers' burden, the letter and call department has received a lot of materials, and I am also considering how to deal with them." Tong Yanzhen said: "Go out and find a job for Tong Gang, we both owe him this." Ma Guoqiang said: "Which job is suitable for him? I can't violate the principle and arrange him in a government agency." Tong Yanzhen was very angry and said, "I told you to arrange for him to work in a government agency? There are so many units in Changyuan. If you hint to others and arrange him to work as a temporary worker, it should be no problem!" Ma Guoqiang said: "Now is a critical moment for building a clean government. Others are watching me. If I come forward to find a job for Tong Gang, what will the people below think? This is a matter of principle, and I will definitely not do this." Tong Yanzhen felt sad for a while, "Why are you like this? Principles, principles, you talk about principles, but others don't. Look at us, and then look at the other people in the compound. How many of them are like us, even the clothes they wear are so ugly? Doesn't match?" Ma Guoqiang looked at his wife in astonishment, "What do you mean?" Tong Yanzhen said, "It doesn't mean anything!" Ma Guoqiang lay down with his wife in his arms, and said tiredly: "Go to sleep, let him play in the city for a few days, and work slowly!" Tong Yanzhen said angrily, "Tong Gang is my younger brother. I will find his job for him. I won't bother you, Mayor." "Where is this going?" "Tong Gang has never troubled us before. He really has nothing to do this time..." Seeing Tong Yanzhen's tears streaming down his face, Ma Guoqiang reached out to wipe them away, but Tong Yanzhen pushed them away.She arched into the bed, pulled up the quilt to cover her head, and the bulging quilt shook intermittently. Ma Guoqiang was at a loss: "Why are you crying? No matter what, you have to be principled. If you help him find a job that satisfies him? Besides, I'm afraid that if he stays in Changyuan City, some people with ulterior motives will be caught. people take advantage of." Tong Yanzhen cried and said: "You always think so, afraid that others will take advantage of me, take advantage of him, and destroy your principles. I will ask him to go back tomorrow. Don't you have to worry?" Tong Gang, who lived in the next room, heard his sister and brother-in-law talking, which sounded like a quarrel. He got out of bed and opened the door to the living room. Returned to the room.He didn't expect this to happen. As the mayor of a city, is it so difficult to find a job for his brother-in-law?The deputy mayor of their town even arranged for a distant relative to be a substitute teacher in an elementary school. When having breakfast the next day, Ma Guoqiang said: "Tong Gang, don't rush to find a job. If you have nothing to do, go to the street and have a look. Stay here for a few more days." Tong Gang took a look at her sister. Tong Yanzhen's eyes were red, and she was eating with her head down. Tong Gang said: "Brother-in-law, I think it's better to forget it. It's too much trouble for you to help me find a job. I'll find it myself. I can do whatever I want on the construction site. If I can't find it, I can go back to the countryside." .” Ma Guoqiang said: "This is not good. I just came here and said I want to go back." Tong Gang said: "The farm work in the countryside is actually quite busy. I have to go back and help my dad. Sometimes he can't do it alone. I'm the main labor force in the family." Ma Guoqiang said: "I'm busy with work and don't have time to accompany you, so I asked your sister to accompany you to go shopping and play around." Tong Yanzhen didn't say anything, Ma Guoqiang left after eating, and Ma Tao also went to school.Tong just put down the bowl after eating, then went to put away his clothes and put them in a denim bag. Tong Yanzhen asked, "Are you really going?" Tong Gang said: "Really go. Sister, I heard the conversation between you and your brother-in-law last night. I don't want to embarrass you." After finishing speaking, he opened the door and left. Looking at her younger brother's back, Tong Yanzhen shed tears. She wiped her hands and rushed out to hold Tong Gang, saying, "Sister, I'm sorry, your brother-in-law is such a person, so don't blame him! Either you wait for two days, sister." And find a way to find you a job." Tong Gang said: "Sister, let me figure it out. My brother-in-law is right. He is the mayor, and there are many people watching him. Since my brother-in-law said that, he has his reasons. I'd better go back and see you later." Go to work in Guangdong." Tong Yanzhen said: "My sister is not good, please forgive me..." Tong Gang broke away from Tong Yanzhen's hand, and walked quickly to the gate of the dormitory of the municipal government.Tong Yanzhen chased after Tong Gang and said, "Bring two boxes of rheumatism medicine back to Mom." When they came to a small pharmacy, Tong Yanzhen bought two boxes of rheumatism medicines and stuffed them into her younger brother's denim bag, saying, "Sister is not in the country, and the housework is all up to you. Mom is not in good health, so take care of her. Dad's temper Bad, don't play with him. No matter what, your brother-in-law is the mayor. You should pay the money in the village. Don't pay what you shouldn't. Don't be afraid of them. In case someone violates the principle If you are arrested, you can call my sister. If you violate the principle, you can't do it, but if you stick to the principle, you will not be afraid!" Tong Gang nodded. Tong Yanzhen said, "I'll go home and see my parents when I'm free." As she spoke, she took out 200 yuan and stuffed it into Tong Gang's hand. Tong Yanzhen returned to the company, sat in the office for a while, calmed down, and began to practice on the computer.After arriving at Changsheng Company, Shi Fucai gave her a computer, saying that she was to learn slowly, and assigned an assistant to her. He was a college student who had just graduated and also studied accounting, but the assistant was inexperienced. There are many things to learn from her, and she also took the opportunity to learn computers from that assistant. When I got home from get off work at noon, I had just had lunch when the phone rang. "Is it Mayor Ma's house?" "Yes, who are you?" The other party said: "I am the East District Police Station." "What's the matter?" Tong Yanzhen asked. "Do you have a younger brother named Tong Gang?" Tong Yanzhen wondered, "Yes, what's the matter with him?" The other party said: "He injured someone, and he is in the police station now, can you come here?" The other party put the phone. Tong Yanzhen arrived at the East District Police Station by car.Seeing his sister coming, Tong Gang stood up and said, "It's not my fault, the agency company lied to me. I asked him for money, but they didn't give me money, and they even scolded me." Tong Yanzhen said, "Talk slowly, what's going on?" Tong Gang said, "I didn't do it first." Tong Yanzhen said: "Speak clearly, don't talk about who beats whom." Tong Gang said: "I want to find a job by myself. I went to an intermediary company, and the sign said job recruitment. I asked about job recruitment. The people in that company said that Qianli Shoe Factory recruited workers, and the salary was 800 to 1,500 yuan. What? There are all types of work, and I was asked to pay an introduction fee of 200 yuan. I paid the money and went to Qianli Shoe Factory. What kind of shoe factory is that, a small family workshop. I went to talk about entering the factory, and the shoe factory owner said, here No one is needed. I went back to the intermediary company to ask him to refund the money, but the intermediary company refused to refund the money, so I went to remove his signboard, and the people from the intermediary company scolded me, came to grab the signboard, and beat people..." At this time, the director of the police station stood aside and said to Tong Yanzhen: "Actually, this is a trivial matter. You go back first, and I will send you the 200 yuan later." The director of the police station insisted on taking Tong Yanzhen and her brother back by car, but she refused. The director said: "The intermediary company is responsible, not Tong Gang. The intermediary company cheats people and money. We must deal with it seriously." The director repeatedly apologized to Tong Gang and Tong Yanzhen, and personally sent them out of the police station. When Tong Yanzhen returned home, she complained to Tong Gang, "How did you say your brother-in-law's name? If he knew about this, he would lose his temper again." Tong Gang said: "Look at those policemen. When I was first arrested at the police station, they were very cruel to me. I told my brother-in-law's name, but they didn't believe me. They said how could Mayor Ma have such relatives. Then I sent you I gave them the phone number at home, and after they finished the call, they nodded and bowed their heads to apologize. My brother-in-law is the mayor of Changyuan City, and this is called a high-ranking official who crushes people to death..." Tong Yanzhen scolded: "Stop talking!" Tong Gang said: "Sister, I'd better go back to the countryside, I'll go..." Tong Yanzhen grabbed her younger brother and said, "Why don't you stay here for a few days, and I'll find a way for you to find a job?" Tong Gang shook his head and walked out the door with a denim bag on his back.Tong Yanzhen stood in a daze, listening to Tong Gang go downstairs. Shi Fucai, Wang Jiancheng and others drank very dizzy at the Red Mansion Restaurant.Shi Fucai asked: "Is Changsheng Company sure of obtaining the right to build the building?" Wang Jiancheng said: "Don't worry, take your time, there is hope, but accidents cannot be ruled out." Shi Fucai said: "I'm exhausted, and I'm going to lie down if I continue to toss." He spent all the recovered accounts on the emotional investment with these people. If he can't get this project, the company will soon be unable to sustain it. Liu Shi'an said: "Don't get down, Changsheng Company can't live without you. Mr. Shi, be more mature. How can you lose confidence when you encounter a little setback? This is not the spirit of an entrepreneur!" Shi Fucai said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. If I'm not 100% sure about bidding next time, I'll be completely screwed." Wang Jiancheng said: "Xiao Shi, don't be so pessimistic. Nothing is smooth sailing, and some setbacks will be good for your growth. People mature and grow in setbacks. Successful people are not afraid of setbacks. Setbacks are their spiritual wealth and the driving force of their careers, and setbacks also lead to success." "Did I succeed?" Shi Fucai laughed at himself. Wang Jiancheng said: "Xiao Shi, drink less wine today, it's not good to get drunk." Wang Ningsheng sat beside him, looking at Shi Fucai.Young Master Wang will never suffer a loss at any time. Just this morning, he borrowed 2 million in cash from Shi Fucai, and in the name of Changsheng Group Company, he borrowed 20 million from the bank to use it to negotiate with the real estate company in the provincial capital. The company became a shareholder and jointly developed the land of the chemical plant.Of course, he couldn't treat Shi Fucai badly. His father promised to help Changsheng Group get the business building project. In addition, he promised to hand over the construction project of the chemical plant to Changsheng Group. Shi Fucai said: "Mayor Wang, don't worry, I promise not to get drunk today. Mayor Wang, Changsheng Company relies on me to support it, and I can only rely on you, Mayor Wang. Changsheng can't afford to lose anymore, and I, Shi Fucai, will do the same." I can't afford to lose." Wang Jiancheng patted Shi Fucai on the shoulder and said, "Little Shi, there is a solution to any problem." Shi Fucai took a sip of his wine and said, "With your words, Mayor Wang, I feel relieved." "Think about it, everyone," Wang Jiancheng looked at everyone and said, "No matter how capable Ma Guoqiang is, he may not be able to defeat us. The auction of the commercial building and the chemical plant is a good example." Shi Fucai drank another glass of wine and said, "Mayor Wang, there are no outsiders here today. Can you tell me the truth? Does Changsheng Company have great hope?" Wang Jiancheng moved Shi Fucai's wine glass away and said, "Drink less, Xiao Shi, too much alcohol is bad for your health. Changsheng Company can do it, but...the problem must be solved. Next time you will bid, you need more." Just make some preparations." Shi Fucai nodded, picked up the wine glass, but put it down again, and said, "Stop drinking, and listen to Mayor Wang's instruction. Mayor Wang, please give me a perfect plan, an idea that will ensure success." Wang Jiancheng sighed and said: "The officialdom is complicated! Since Ma Guoqiang made great efforts to build a clean government, the relationship between the leaders of various departments of the municipal party committee and municipal government has become delicate. Xiao Shi, you are an outsider and don't understand The stakes here!" Shi Fucai said: "Mayor Wang, you are in charge of this area of ​​work and know how to deal with things best. The judges in the bidding will not just look at your eyes..." Pressed by Shi Fucai, Wang Jiancheng thought about it and said, "Sometimes it's useless for me to talk alone. I have to think of a good way, that is, to adapt it for the same purpose." "How to work around?" The few people next to each other looked at each other, no one spoke, each had their own concerns.Wang Jiancheng is right. With the further implementation of clean government work, the relationship between people in government agencies has become more delicate. Wang Jiancheng said: "Xiao Shi, you are a smart person, so I don't need to say that. You are pretending to be poor by guarding the treasury!" Shi Fucai thought about it, and knew that Wang Jiancheng was talking about Tong Yanzhen. He had thought about it, but he felt that it would not work. Wang Jiancheng said: "Xiao Shi, think about it carefully! I believe you must have a way. If you work hard on your side, and I make a move on my side, won't you succeed?" Several other people also nodded. Shi Fucai picked up his wine glass again and said to Wang Jiancheng, "Mayor Wang, I would like to toast you!" Wang Jiancheng said: "Forget it, don't drink, let's stop here for today!" Shi Fucai put down his glass and said, "If you don't drink, don't drink. That's it for today." "Would you like to sit upstairs?" Liu Shi'an suggested. "Forget it," Wang Jiancheng said, "I've invited a few friends to play cards, let's do it next time!" Wang Jiancheng was in a good mood while drinking today, but later Shi Fucai took advantage of the wine and kept asking about the bidding, which made him very unhappy, and he lost the mood to think about going upstairs to be chic. Shi Fucai sent Wang Jiancheng and the others downstairs, and stood on the steps watching the cars leave one after another.He became more and more disappointed with Wang Jiancheng. This old fox was very smooth in everything he did, but he didn't dare to offend him.But he is not a fool, he has already saved his hands, and recorded some transactions between them in a calm situation. If his life is not easy, he will not make it easy for them.As long as he handed over those things to Ma Guoqiang, those people would be finished. He went back to the Red Mansion Restaurant to check out at the cashier, and the cashier lady was reading "Changyuan Daily". "What are you looking at?" Shi Fucai asked. The cashier lady put down the newspaper and paid Shi Fucai the bill.Shi Fucai picked up the "Changyuan Daily" and saw the headlines: Laid-off workers find new jobs by themselves, and the mayor's wife takes the lead to become a role model. Shi Fucai glanced at the content, to the effect that Mayor Ma Guoqiang was honest and self-disciplined. After his wife Tong Yanzhen was laid off, she found a job by herself. Later, through the city's labor service market, she found an excellent private enterprise in our city - Changsheng Construction Group Company. A suitable job, composed a hymn of self-discipline in the construction of a clean government. Shi Fucai smiled teasingly. He paid two reporters to write this news. The main purpose was to let more people know that the mayor's wife is in his Changsheng Construction Group Company. What's in it? The subtle relationship is left to others to guess. He paid the bill, put down the newspaper, and thought sullenly: there is no good thing, one is for fame, and the other is corrupt. After the vice president surnamed Zhou learned that Tong Yanzhen was working in Changsheng, he clearly agreed to Shi Fucai, saying that as long as he won this big project, he would give him a loan of 30 million.However, in addition to the due benefits, there is also a condition attached, that is, to ask Tong Yanzhen to help blow the wind in front of Mayor Ma, and one day, remove the adverb. If the project cannot be taken down, Changsheng Company will face a serious crisis of survival.Unknowingly, Shi Fucai drove to Taohua River, got out of the car and walked to the river. The river was rushing, and the evening wind was blowing damp air on his face. While drinking today, listening to what Wang Jiancheng said, there seemed to be some variables on the issue of bidding.After spending so much money, he would really not be reconciled if he couldn't get the project. He asked himself: "How did I get to this point? How can I save myself?" Wang Jiancheng asked to be flexible, what does this mean?What exactly is it implying?Is it true that Tong Yanzhen is going to be used?If the purpose is not achieved, it may have the opposite effect. At this time, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and he heard a man's voice: "Brother, if you want to die, jump from the bridge. The posture is more beautiful." Shi Fucai turned his head and saw Li Fen's smiling face. "It's you." Shi Fucai said. "Is it a sudden pleasure to enjoy the scenery or to commit suicide?" Shi Fucai smiled and said, "I haven't reached the point where I want to commit suicide, so come here to blow some air and clear my mind." Li Fen said: "I heard that Changsheng has developed and grown. Shi is always getting more and more busy. There are so many entertainments every day. Be careful to drink up your body. If a person's health is broken, what do you need so much money for? " Shi Fucai said: "Don't talk about making money, I feel uncomfortable when I talk about making money." Li Fen patted Shi Fucai's stomach and said, "Your belly is so big, how rich you are! Boss Shi." Shi Fucai said: "Don't hurt others, okay? I'm not like you. If one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, this kind of life is quite comfortable, but what should I do when I am old? I don't even have anyone to serve me." Shi Fucai felt that when he was with Li Fen, he could express his thoughts from the bottom of his heart. Only at this time, he felt that he was himself, without the pretense and concealment of words when talking to people in the officialdom. Li Fen said with a smile: "I have a different outlook on life from yours. I don't pursue worldly fame and fortune, and I don't care what others think of me. No matter what happens in the future, people will grow old. After getting old, you still expect your sons and daughters to be filial to you? Then It’s nonsense! A filial son, a filial son, now it’s the other way around. I am filial to my son. Do you understand? Life is alive, and the grass and trees are in autumn. I admire the sentence in the Dream of the Red Chamber the most, that you come and go without any worries. What a high state of life? Like you This kind of person doesn't understand at all!" Shi Fucai said: "If you are like this, you might as well become a monk." Li Fen said with a smile, "I think so, but the temple doesn't accept them." The two walked forward for a while and sat on a stone bench by the river. "Let me ask you a question," Shi Fucai said solemnly, "You are an intellectual, and people with your kind of thinking may have thought about this question." "what is the problem." "What's the point of being alive?" Li Fen thought about it, and said: "This is a big problem. People live for a hundred years and die for tens of thousands of years. According to Buddhism, nothing is existence, and existence is nothing. It doesn't matter whether people live or not, everything is irrelevant. It's meaningless. Didn't I just say that? You come and go naked, don't care so much. What happened to you today?" Looking at the sparkling river, Shi Fucai said slowly, "You still have to live." "This is a human tragedy." Li Fen said, "In order to live, people must constantly work hard and constantly adapt to society!" Shi Fucai nodded and said, "Let me ask you, do you have money in mind?" "It's a lie if I don't want money, but my salary is enough." Li Fen said: "Besides, what if I have money, so what if I don't have money? Are you still living the same?" Shi Fucai asked, "Why don't you want to have more money?" Li Fen paused, looked at the bright lights on the other side, and said, "Let me tell you a story." "what story?" "Once upon a time there was a fisherman who stopped fishing when he caught two catties of fish every day, and caught another two catties the next day. The fisherman lived like this day after day, year after year. One day, a young man felt that the fisherman Strange, ask the fisherman, why do you stop fishing after only two catties of fish a day? Why don’t you catch more fish? The fisherman asks, why catch more fish? The young man said, catch more fish and sell more Money. The fisherman asked, what do you do if you sell more fish and earn more money? The young man said, with more money, you can organize your own fishing fleet, catch more fish and earn more money. The fisherman asked again what to do if he made more money? The young man said, organize a larger fishing fleet and earn more and more money. The fisherman asked, what should he do if he made more money? The young man Said, if you have more money, you don’t need to fish anymore, you can bask in the sun, grow flowers... How beautiful are those days. The fisherman said, what am I doing with such a big detour? I catch two fish a day. Jinyu, life can handle it. In my spare time, I have been basking in the sun and raising flowers. I have lived such a life long ago. The young man left without saying anything. Do you know? The biggest detour in life, there is How many people are leaving... I am very satisfied with my current situation, and I don't want to pursue too much, if I pursue too much, it will be very tiring!" Shi Fucai thought for a while, and said, "Sometimes, life forces you beyond your control!" Li Fen looked at Shi Fucai, "You have become a great thinker, well, my great thinker, I don't have time to accompany you, think about it!" Shi Fucai sat for a while, and suddenly wanted to find a place to vent, so he got up and drove to the Red House Restaurant.The car turned a few turns, and was just about to get onto the avenue, when a black figure rushed over from the side unexpectedly.He stepped on the brake subconsciously, but heard a slight bump. The car stopped, he got out of the car, and saw a man who looked like a migrant worker lying on the ground.He secretly called out "unlucky", suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a photo next to that person, curiosity made him pick it up, and saw a man and a woman on it, leaning together very affectionately.Why does the woman in the photo look so much like Tong Yanzhen?He looked at the photo carefully again, yes, it was her.The person lying on the ground looked about 30 years old, wearing an old blue suit, a pair of dark gray pants, and carrying a denim bag.He looked at the old blue suit on this man, a button on the right was missing, he felt as if he had seen it somewhere.Suddenly, he remembered that when he saw Ma Guoqiang, he was wearing this old blue suit with a button missing on the right. This photo, and this suit, what is the relationship between this person and Ma Guoqiang?Why are you here? He looked at the man lying on the ground, stepped forward to help him up, and asked, "Are you okay?" The man who looked like a migrant worker groaned a few times, grabbed the photo from his hand, put it in his pocket, and said painfully, "It hurts so much! Take me to the hospital quickly." Shi Fucai didn't dare to neglect, helped the man into the car, and drove to the hospital.
