After a while, Zhao Yitang raised his head, as if he wanted to hold back the tears, but it didn't help, the tears still flowed down his cheeks. Shen Tong quickly took out the handkerchief and handed it to Zhao Yitang. Shen Tong was surprised to find , after not seeing him for several days, Zhao Yitang actually had gray hair on his temples.
Zhao Yitang wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Sorry, I made you laugh."
"Secretary Zhao, you must..." Shen Tong was about to speak when Zhao Yitang stopped him and asked, "Come on, Shen Tong, how about I give you this letter?"
Shen Tong said quickly: "Secretary Zhao, I am absolutely reluctant to part with this. This is your beloved thing. How can I take away someone's love?"
Zhao Yitang looked at Shen Tong in front of him and seemed to see his son again. He walked over and stroked Shen Tong's cheek and said, "Shen Tong, do you know why I value you?"
Shen Tong felt the warmth of father's love through his body temperature, raised his head and shook his head in confusion.
Zhao Yitang wanted to express his thoughts, but after thinking about it, he felt it was not appropriate, so he walked to the desk and sat down. He said: "Shen Tong, you are the first real college student in our Shihe Town. Your vitality and passion are infecting me all the time. After several tests, your ability has been fully proved. I believe your future will be bright. As you said, there is no galloping. How can fertile ambition lead to a splendid life? I hope you will remember that no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, no matter how twists and turns the road is, you must move forward bravely and never take a step back. Remember my words. Yet?"
Dundun's teachings were as amiable as a university professor. Shen Tong deeply imprinted Zhao Yitang's words in his mind and said: "Secretary Zhao, I have written it down."
"Okay, I'm leaving, and I have nothing to give you. Just take these words!" Zhao Yitang took one last look, picked him up and handed it to Shen Tong.
Shen Tong hurriedly resisted, but Zhao Yitang's stern eyes made him a little afraid, so he accepted this precious gift.
After explaining this matter, he started to pack the things in the bookcase. Shen Tong put the calligraphy and paintings aside and followed Zhao Yitang to pack them up.
Zhao Yitang took out a stack of honorary certificates from the bookcase and carefully placed them under the box.
Shen Tong carefully observed every detail of Zhao Yitang's movements. Zhao Yitang would look at each item carefully before he sighed softly. Shen Tong suddenly felt the urge to cry, so he said all the words he had suppressed in his heart for a long time. He came out and said: "Secretary Zhao, don't you think this matter is very strange?"
Zhao Yitang turned around, looked at Shen Tong with a strange look, and said, "What's weird?"
"Anyway, the topic has been raised, so let's just say it directly." Shen Tong thought. So he said: "If this fire is an inevitable natural disaster, then someone reporting you for taking bribes is timely speculation and people with ulterior motives. I saw the right opportunity and gave you eye drops, hoping to completely defeat you."
Zhao Yitang believed it, but he had no evidence and his handle was held in the palm of his hand. Even if he wanted to resist, he was unable to do so. Zhao Yitang walked up to Shen Tong, patted Shen Tong on the shoulder and said: "Shen Tong, there are some things you don't understand yet. When you gradually adapt to this circle, you will understand everything. As for my affairs, I know it well, but you have to grow up quickly and make yourself become Only by being indestructible can it resist all external aggression."
Shen Tong still refused to give up and said: "Secretary Zhao, the last time Wei Ergou petitioned, Mayor Ma was behind the instigation, so I suspect..."
Zhao Yitang immediately blocked Shen Tong's mouth, looked outside, and after confirming that no one was there, he whispered: "Some things cannot be said without factual basis. You are just a suspicion. You have committed a big taboo again." , you must be low-key and keep a clear head. You must not be hot-headed and make irreparable mistakes. Even if you don’t tell me about Wei Ergou, I know it. Now that I have reached this point, I will mention it again. What's the use of it?"
Zhao Yitang was obviously angry when he spoke, but his expression was so calm, and then he continued: "I just told you to let you grow up quickly, just to tell you to always be wary of Ma and the others. I think after I leave, you It is also very likely that you will be implicated. However, no matter what difficulties you encounter, no matter how big a blow you encounter, you must hold on and never retreat, you know?"
Zhao Yitang emphasized the last few words, and the cold light in his eyes made Shen Tong shudder. After saying that, Zhao Yitang went to pack his things again.
Zhao Yitang actually didn't have many things. The most valuable thing was his treasured book. He quickly packed it up with the help of drivers Geng Kai and Shen Tong. After everything was loaded into the car, Zhao Yitang stood in the center of the room and looked around. I have been working there for more than a year, and my heart is full of infinite sadness, and I refuse to leave for a long time.
Finally, he turned off the light and exited the room. When he was about to get in the car, he saw the withered wintersweet in the yard, so he hurried over and panted two pots of wintersweet flowers into the car.
The moment the car started, Shen Tong could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears. He said to Zhao Yitang who was sitting in the car: "Secretary Zhao, can't you walk?"
Zhao Yitang was moved by Shen Tong's performance. He let out a long sigh and said, "Silly boy, you think this is my home. You can come and go. Remember my words and mature as soon as possible. Don't cry. A Whatever tears a grown man sheds, hold them back for me." Although Zhao Yitang's tone was stern, he was deeply moved by Shen Tong's love and justice.
Shen Tong stopped crying and said with choked sobs: "Secretary Zhao, can I come to you if I don't understand anything in the future?"
"Welcome, I'm welcome at any time! My home is easy to find. It's in the county government family home. Just go and ask the concierge." Shen Tong's words were very helpful to Zhao Yitang, and Zhao Yitang suddenly had an idea. If I try my best, It would be a good thing to train Shen Tong with all my strength and let him complete my unfinished business.
"Okay, Secretary Zhao, I will come to you if I don't understand anything in the future." Shen Tong showed an immature smile.
Zhao Yitang nodded, waved his hand to Shen Tong, said "treasure", rolled up the car window, and then quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
The car started slowly, and Shen Tong followed the car and trotted all the way, refusing to leave until the car disappeared from sight.
