On the afternoon of Chen Liquan's resignation, "Xiaobaizi" also came.
The reason why this kid hasn't shown up recently is because his father's injury has become serious again. But this time, he did bring good news.
It turned out that Shou Jingfang had been entrusted by Hong Yanwu to go to "Xiao Baizi's" home two days ago. After his diagnosis, although he concluded that "Xiao Baizi's" father's back injury was hopeless due to improper treatment, he also He said that the patient could at least return to the level where he could take care of himself in daily life. He also tried acupuncture once, and the effect was very significant. In just two days, "Xiao Baizi"'s father could already turn over on his own in bed.
Just for this reason, "Xiao Baizi" was ordered by his father and sister to invite Hong Yanwu to his home for dinner today. Their family must thank Hong Yanwu in person for introducing such a skilled doctor.
In addition, they also wanted to ask Hong Yanwu how to express his gratitude to Shou Jingfang, because he refused to accept money or gifts. He only said that he would continue to come for acupuncture next week and left. This made them really sad. It is intolerance.
Hong Yanwu did not refuse the invitation from the "Xiaobaizi" family. Although he had his original intention, he did not want to cause trouble and cost others just by helping them a little. But firstly, he was afraid that he would not refute their face. Secondly, He was also afraid that "Xiao Baizi" and his family would not understand Shou Jingfang's character and waste their money. Thirdly, he would have to go away from home, and he didn't know when they would see each other again. So he felt that before leaving, he should still tell Shou Jingfang in person. The temperament is explained clearly and well.
But Hong Yanwu didn't expect that even though he explained the whole matter clearly, he successfully calmed down the uneasy mood of "Xiao Baizi" and his family. But after "Xiao Baizi" heard that he was going to Liaodong, he also made a fuss. You have to go with him.
Of course Hong Yanwu would not agree. Although he likes this boy's cleverness, after all, this is not a trip. If something goes wrong, he will have to go to the sea. The dangers and difficulties are foreseeable. Besides, there is no guarantee of the time of this trip. , how could he make "Little Baizi"'s father and sister worry? So he flatly refused without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, not only did "Little Baizi" make a mistake, but he struggled to give up. Even "Little Baizi"'s father helped to persuade him, hoping to persuade Hong Yanwu to take his son with him.
The old man only had one reason, saying that "Xiao Baizi" was pretty good at playing with slingshots and could probably help them a little bit. Moreover, he also hoped that his son could use this method to repay Hong Yanwu for him, for the many things he did to their family. A second helping hand.
In this regard, Hong Yanwu even said that he did not dare. He said that at this age, "Xiao Baizi" should still go to school. Moreover, he himself was a jobless worker. If he stayed with him for a long time, he might give the child a better future. Delayed.
But I didn't expect that this "magic slingshot" who had been working in Tianqiao for most of his life was quite extraordinary. He claimed that he had seen all kinds of people and could distinguish the good and evil in people's hearts. Things like what Hong Yanwu did were definitely not " Although he could be a pure bully and gangster like "Four Tyrants" and "One Emperor", he instead believed that Hong Yanwu was a truly upright person, and his son would not be able to imitate him.
Moreover, he also said that "Xiao Baizi" had no talent in studying. Instead of doing nothing at home, it would be better to follow Hong Yanwu and go outside to gain more knowledge and experience some hardships.
When it comes to this offer, it is difficult for Hong Yanwu to refuse. Because now he can resist money and dare to compete with authority, but he cannot resist others' heartfelt recognition and trust in him.
When "Xiao Baizi" saw Hong Yanwu finally nodded in agreement, he immediately became overjoyed, as if he had picked up a gold ingot. He was shaking his head, smiling, and enjoying the meal...
…
With the help of his wife and policeman Zhang Baocheng, Hong Yanwu's naturalization procedures went smoothly. After getting all the food and supplies related to food and oil, he even issued a letter of introduction for the trip, and then he took it to the train station to buy some.
ticket.
Since there were very few trains that year, the train tickets Hong Yanwu bought were for two days later. However, he was not idle during the last two days at home.
After thinking about it, he felt that there were two things he had to do before leaving. One was to inquire about the whereabouts of Chang Xianzhang, and it would be best to take advantage of this long trip to visit him. The other was that he also wanted to give someone to him.
Master Jade visited the grave once.
These two people were both very sorry for Hong Yanwu in his heart. One taught him how to read and write, which broadened his horizons and expanded his thinking. However, he not only caused him to lose his job and be expelled from the capital, but also ruined his family.
a good marriage.
The other taught him a wonderful wrestling technique, which not only enabled him to successfully avenge his former enemies, but also gave him the capital to travel around the world and compete with the powerful. But he ended up doing whatever he wanted.
To repay this master has become an eternal shame for the master.
In the past, Hong Yanwu had always been a ignorant and selfish person. He had never dared to face these two emotional and moral debts. Thinking about it carefully today, these two things were both serious and irreparable things that made him deeply regretful.
Pity.
Chang Xianzhang's sister's work unit is far away in Dashanzi, and she still rarely goes home on weekdays. Therefore, regarding Chang Xianzhang's situation, naturally, we have to ask the head teacher who is still waiting for this relationship to get the details.
But this female teacher, whom Hong Yanwu admired most when he was a child, especially hated the time when she saw Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan coming to the door with gifts.
Look at them the same.
With no other option, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had no choice but to find "Xiao Baizi" and let him use the skill of "moving the gate" (slang for sliding the door and picking the lock) to privately open the door of Chang Xianzhang's house.
After entering the house, they finally found Chang Xianzhang's contact address in Xingkai Lake by searching for letters. However, an unexpected discovery in the study made Hong Yanwu regret the mistakes he had committed to the extreme.
He also fully understood that the head teacher's hatred for him was completely justified.
It turned out that when Chen Liquan couldn't help but look through the old books they had read together in childhood with a nostalgic mood, he discovered that there were actually many unsent letters mixed in them. And these letters were all without exception.
The content of the head teacher's handwriting is a tearful call and a silent and persistent waiting.
After reading it, they realized that in fact, since Chang Xianzhang left Beijing, he had completely lost confidence in life. In order not to hurt his beloved girl, every time he received a letter to his class teacher, his reply was generally simple.
With a few words, let the head teacher find someone suitable for her and let her pursue new happiness.
However, the class teacher was always focused and unchanging. As time went by, Chang Xianzhang not only stopped replying to letters, but also sent them back through the post office to express his determination to break up.
But even so, the class teacher still couldn't give up this relationship. Instead, in order to express her feelings, she would come to Chang Xianzhang's house every weekend and write a letter. After writing, she would add it to Chang Xianzhang's book.
, to express the longing and helpless sadness in my heart.
After a thorough search, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan found that there were probably dozens of such unsendable love letters. From this, we can see how long this situation has been going on.
No one would be unmoved. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both fell into a speechless silence. They really did not expect that love has an irreplaceable and irresistible tenacity.
This is just like what the class teacher wrote in her letter. She said that love is selfless and fearless. No matter you are rich or poor, no matter you are frustrated or proud now, whether you are healthy or weak, she can always be with you.
around.
They have really seen it. These letters not only represent Zhencheng’s confession and faithful promises, but also mean long waiting and persistence. Even if this kind of waiting and persistence is slim, the class teacher who has a deep love for each other has no complaints.
I regretfully use this method to strengthen my faith and determination.
