"Some people, when they get up every day, they think about resigning, but they still have to go to work every day."
Some people can no longer live their lives and think about divorce every day, but do not have the courage to take action. In the end, they cannot explain to their daughter why his father hugged that aunt in the office.
"There are also some lazy people in this small mountain village who use the subsidies to improve their food and continue their current life, starving to death as usual; but to become rich, they have to plant and breed, and take the risk of laboring and sowing without necessarily reaping the rewards.
all"
Teacher Wang said in that letter: "Not all persistence is meaningful, and not all giving up is failure."
When Jiang Yang read the letter, he felt that Teacher Wang was also a person with a story.
Uncle Wang and he were in the same boat and had a lot to say, but they couldn't say it in person or through instant messaging such as chat software, so they continued to exchange letters.
Because Jiang Yang was Wen Chou, Uncle Wang and the others had to say some words of comfort to each other, so the following letters were all handwritten by Uncle Wang himself.
Jiang Yang never read their letters again.
But today, Uncle Wang felt that Jiang Yang had to take a look.
The letter suddenly mentioned the popular science book sent by Jiang Yang.
That book is very good, and it describes the universe very romantically.
Teacher Wang already knew that this book was picked by a young man. After all, the handwriting of the letter was different.
In the previous letter about "Perseverance and Giving Up" to Uncle Wang, Teacher Wang had already thanked Jiang Yang for his book.
But that thank you, although it came from the heart, was just a normal thank you.
This time it's a little different.
"I have been teaching here for more than 30 years. Some students dropped out of school early and stayed at home. I also sent batches of students out of the mountains. Some worked, some went to school, some came back, and some never came back. My students here
Among students, the most promising ones are only civil servants, but among my students in Kyoto, some of them are engaged in scientific research, some have become stars, some have studied abroad and engaged in business, and some have become officials."
Some time ago, I was thinking, what's the point of working here for so many years, other than to gain peace of mind? I can't change the fate of these children even in my whole life. The so-called changes in their lives are just brought about by social changes.
Until one night in the late summer and early autumn, after the students had dinner, they met and came to the school to play.
"They looked up at the night sky, and suddenly a classmate Ti suggested that they take out the book you gave them from the classroom, and then) they looked for galaxies in the starry sky according to the drawings in the book. I suddenly felt that in addition to feeling sorry for my family, this
It’s worth a lifetime.”
When Uncle Wang saw Jiang Yang read the letter, he asked Jiang Yang, "Did you see anything?"
"I see it."
Jiang Yang nodded, "You complimented me on the book I chose."
But why were the words of praise left blank? It made Jiang Yang feel itchy. He seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand. Instead, it reminded Jiang Yang of a story. It was also a science fiction story about the universe and rural teachers, which once made Jiang Yang
I have the ambition to be a teacher when I grow up.
"this one?"
Uncle Wang asked Jiang Yang to take a closer look. This is a lifetime, a meaning, and a review. "Does it read like an account of the funeral?' Knife."
"Have it?"
Jiang Yang thinks it's okay.
Uncle Wang said: "He also asked me in his letter to lay a stick of incense in front of his mother's portrait."
I went to burn incense sticks for no reason.
Jiang Yang took out the letter and read it again: "Why didn't I see it?"
"Oh, there is another letter." Uncle Wang took it out. This letter had a PS, and Teacher Wang wrote that he was not around when his mother passed away, and he never had the chance to offer incense to his mother, so he asked Uncle Wang to help.
A favor.
The letter gave Teacher Wang’s sister’s address.
Jiang Yang said: "It's really similar."
Are you sick?
Uncle Wang thought it was possible and asked Jiang Yang to write a letter to the postman and asked Jiang Yang: "Why can't you make a phone call?"
Although I didn't leave a phone number, it shouldn't be difficult to check.
Uncle Wang: "Hey, I forgot."
I jumped from writing letters to using mobile phones all of a sudden, which is really a bit unaccustomed to me.
He asked Jiang Yang to check. When Jiang Yang took out his mobile phone, he suddenly asked: "Why don't you call the village directly?"
Then.
The two of them checked it out and finally found it. When Jiang Yang was about to call him, Uncle Wang waved his hand: "Forget it."
Call me now, I don’t know what to say.
Let's go burn some incense first.
Uncle Wang stood up and asked Jiang Yang if he had anything to do today. If he was okay, they would go and have a look at the address on the letter.
Jiang Yang said: "No."
The two of them took the subway. This address was quite remote, quite far away from Xicheng. After getting off the subway, they took the bus for a while. On the bus, Jiang Yang saw rows of chimneys, and
Some dilapidated factory buildings.
Uncle Wang told Jiang Yang that this area used to be a steel factory, but later the steel factory moved. Some places have not yet had time to plan and develop, or there have been plans, but construction has not started, so they have become deserted.
The address is in this deserted area, between new buildings and short bungalows.
After getting off the bus, they asked around along the way.
It's also easy to find out, because there are quite a few apartments here with many tenants, and there are also some fly restaurants, so although it's remote, there are a lot of people and many people know the address.
After arriving at an alley, they asked an aunt who was sunbathing on the side of the road.
Uncle Wang said Teacher Wang’s name.
"Oh, the one who cheated and killed his daughter." The aunt pointed in the direction.
Jiang Yang wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't.
Cheating is real.
But according to Wang Zheng's words, Wang Zheng's death was purely accidental. The car rushed towards them. Wang Zheng was frightened, and Wang Zheng probably was too.
All I can say is that sometimes things just happen.
Wang Zheng discovered that her father was having an affair and had an accident when they went out to play the next day.
They found Teacher Wang's sister's house.
Their house was renovated, with a small supermarket below and an apartment above.
When Uncle Wang went in to inquire, the female supermarket owner said: "Who? I don't know him!"
When Jiang Yang went in to inquire, the female supermarket owner said, "My mother-in-law's surname is Wang. Just wait a minute. I'll ask for you."
She picked up the phone.
Jiang Yang turned back to Uncle Wang and spread his hands helplessly, "There is no way."
Uncle Wang rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "If you have the ability, let my son come. The man of your dreams for young, middle-aged and old women is not just a lie."
Jiang Yang: "No, I'm still single."
Uncle Wang:
The female boss called her husband. After giving Teacher Wang’s name, the person opposite seemed to reveal his identity. The female boss suddenly realized: “Oh, you are the only one.”
She turned her head away and lowered her voice, "The uncle who cheated and killed his daughter?"
When she said this, she looked at Old Man Wang and said, "Okay, okay, I understand."
The female boss hung up the phone, "It's my mother-in-law, you two."
Uncle Wang: "Teacher Wang's friend, help him put incense sticks on his parents."
The female boss looked at Uncle Wang suspiciously, but still led them upstairs. This apartment still accepts credit cards. After the female boss opened the door, she followed Jiang Yang one step behind and said that the family had cut off contact with Mr. Wang long ago when his parents died.
Didn't even notify him.
Teacher Wang never came back either.
This one came out of nowhere, and I really didn’t know who it was without thinking about it.
