"I really suffered the loss of being uneducated!" Yang Guangyi sighed: "I can only write my name, but I don't know anything else. Although the people who came out together in the village were not highly educated, they had gone to school after all.

You know a lot more than I do, and you have a flexible mind."

"I worked in a factory, washed dishes, and worked as a salesperson in an advertising company... I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, I posted advertisements everywhere at night. At that time, I posted advertisements everywhere at night. Later, I was caught by the urban management and was fined and educated. I

I also wanted to find a good job, but I was stupid and slow to learn, so I spent time and effort on it and ended up doing odd jobs."

"People from the village are very loyal. They helped me join a furniture manufacturing factory and work as a porter there. I can't do technical work, so I can only rely on my strength to make a living."

"That place is pretty good, mainly because the boss is nice and the salary is more than what is paid outside. It also provides accommodation and three meals. In this way, I basically save all my salary and send it home to support my daughter's education.

.”

Speaking of this, Yang Guangyi showed a bit of bitterness on his face: "It is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice can dig holes. These words of the old man are all reliable. I just suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated.

I thought that no matter what I did, I couldn’t make my child suffer, and I had to sell everything to support my daughter’s college entrance examination. But... this child followed me and had no interest in studying since she was a child. After she finally graduated from junior high school, she stopped studying.

.After getting my diploma, I went to work in Binhai."

"Actually, I am more or less responsible for this. I am away from home all year round, and my daughter is greatly influenced by relatives. The situation of every household in the village is similar. You can't make money by farming, and many people go out to work. My daughter just follows

My relatives went to Binhai together... She did quite well there, and after one month, she made much more money than me."

"As a farmer, many things are easy to think about. According to the opinions of the older generation, my daughter is actually quite promising because she can support herself and has a job when she is a teenager. Think about it this way! For her to go to school

I wasn’t so entangled in the issue of studying. So I quit my job at the furniture factory and wanted to change to a relaxed and simple job.”

Hu Pingtao asked calmly: "Without the pressure from family, you no longer have the desire and motivation to make money?"

Yang Guangyi nodded: "That's right! But the more important thing is my physical problem. Working as a porter in a furniture factory is no joke, it's all heavy work. I can't bear the heavy things I usually carry, and my shoulders

There are problems with his body and back, and his spine is also somewhat deformed."

"The year before I left the factory, my boss organized everyone to have a physical examination. I heard that it was required by the subdistrict office. At that time, many rules and policies had been formulated, and the boss did not dare to make dirty money like before."

"My daughter later got married and found a foreigner who also worked in Binhai. I had a relaxing and comfortable job. I could support myself, make some money on the way, and take good care of myself. When I get old and I can't do it anymore, I just

Go help your daughter take care of the children."

"Later I worked as a security guard in a hospital. The salary was not high, but the time was plentiful and it was very relaxing. From then on, I fell in love with the job of security guard. Over the past ten years, I have changed several units back and forth, and I have always been able to work as a security guard.

I work as a security guard."

"After my daughter got married, she rented a house in Binhai. She gave birth to a son. My son-in-law is an honest man. My daughter often sends me money, not much, just three to five hundred yuan each time. I feel very happy and slow.

I slowly saved some money."

"Working as a security guard means you have a lot of time. I later bought an electric car and drove it around when I had nothing to do. I mainly solicited customers near subway entrances and bus terminals. They paid a few yuan or more. Although the customers

Sometimes it’s more, sometimes it’s less, but it’s always a little extra money.”

Hu Pingtao laughed when he heard this: "You are very brave! This is the police station, and you dare to talk about running illegal cars in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I will call the traffic control station now and ask them to dispatch the police?"

Someone is coming to take you away?"

Yang Guangyi was stunned. It was only now that he remembered that there were some things he shouldn't say. Looking at his dazed look, Hu Pingtao smiled and raised his hand to pat his shoulder lightly, comforting him: "I was just joking.

You must not take it seriously."

Yang Guangyi looked very embarrassed: "I...I thought you were really going to arrest me...Actually, I stopped doing this job of soliciting customers on an electric bike a few years ago."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Why?"

Yang Guangyi explained: "It's all caused by the shared bicycles. After the yellow bicycles came out, everyone stopped looking for us to solicit customers. In addition, the traffic police have been cracking down on "black motorcycles", and many people's jobs have been ruined."

.”

Hu Pingtao nodded understandingly: "Go on."

Yang Guangyi said: "I was in my forties at that time and had a lot of energy. Although life was better than before, with comfort and more time, I still felt a little regretful... I'm not afraid of your jokes. I am a normal man after all, and I also want to be around you."

If there is another woman, let me live a good life with you."

"My wife died early, and I have been single because of my own reasons. Although the land and houses in the village are still there, they are not valuable. Because it is far from the city, demolition and reconstruction cannot be done in that area. The house price in the provincial capital is one day

Same thing. In my early years, I had some ideas. As you said before, if I took out a loan to buy a small apartment, it would be more or less my own property. But then it increased every year, and my salary was only enough to make ends meet.

Later, I gave up the idea of ​​buying a house completely.”

"I have always believed that women will be willing to live with me only if I have a house."

"In 1919, I rode an electric car as usual and went to the street near the subway station to pick up people. At that time, the small yellow car was no longer used, and the small blue car and the small green car were everywhere. At the end of the day

I can’t get many customers, but I still have a few business deals, and I have to avoid traffic control, otherwise I’ll be fined if I’m caught.”

"It was very hot that day. I waited for more than an hour, and finally got an order and made fifteen yuan. By about two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was getting stronger and stronger, and the heat was unbearable, so I decided to go back and do some calculations.

Already."

"When I was about to leave, a woman suddenly stopped me and said she was going to Workers' New Village."

"The woman was very young, about twenty years old. She was very well-dressed and looked very beautiful. She was riding an electric bike... As you all know, I was in the front and she was in the back. She was wearing the same clothes that day.

With high heels and a short skirt, it's definitely not possible to sit across the back, so you can only lean sideways and hug my waist from behind. I have pulled similar customers before, but they only grabbed my clothes, and they have never been so tight.

Hold on to my situation.”

"She is very talkative and kept chatting with me on the way. To be honest, this is the first time in my life that such a beautiful girl has taken the initiative to talk to me. She is really kind, gentle, lively and optimistic, and the fragrance on her body is great

The smell was so great that I felt that the road was so short that day, it only took a few minutes..."

"Because it felt so good, I only charged her half of the fare. She paid the fare at that time and didn't leave in a hurry, so she added me on WeChat."

Hu Pingtao felt a little surprised and asked: "Did she add you, or did you add her?"

"She joined me." Yang Guangyi said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I was quite panicked at the time. Because I have never encountered such a thing. She is really beautiful, very fashionable. I usually ride

When I was soliciting customers, I always wore old clothes. Because of the strong wind, after running all day, my body was covered with dust... I didn't know whether to give her WeChat, so I was very hesitant. Later she kept saying, "Let's all make friends.

Let’s get to know each other.” Then I clicked on WeChat and added her to it.”

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "It seems that this woman is quite active, and you have indeed seen a real person."

Yang Guangyi said: "I was on night shift that night, and she took the initiative to contact me on WeChat. We chatted for a long time."

Hu Pingtao asked: "What are you talking about?"

Yang Guangyi said: "A lot. From her family to her life and her friends, she talked about everything. She lives on Linyuan Road, has a local registered permanent residence, and is from Gudu District. She asked me where I work and where I am from...

…Anyway, we talk about everything.”

Hu Pingtao reminded: "What's her name?"

"Zeng Shan." Yang Guangyi blurted out without thinking: "She showed me her ID card. She is only in her twenties. I am thirty years older than her. She is younger than my daughter."

Hu Pingtao asked doubtfully: "Are you sure that you have not had any contact with or know this Zeng Shan before?"

Yang Guangyi nodded: "Zeng Shan is very good at talking. I am very bored when I am on duty at night, so she keeps talking with me, and the topics are the ones that interest me. Actually... I am usually very lonely, because there are few friends around me, and I don't know how to

We don’t know how to play cards or mahjong, so we can’t play together on a regular basis. My daughter lives in Binhai, so it’s hard to get together once a year. I think it’s interesting to have someone like Zeng Shan to chat with on a regular basis.”

"At the beginning, I definitely didn't think about my girlfriend. I still knew myself. She must have many suitors around her. I just regarded her as a friend and chatted with her. I chatted on my mobile phone every day when I went to and from get off work.

A few words, otherwise it will feel like something is missing."

"Later, I became more and more familiar with her, and Zeng Shan asked me to borrow money for various reasons."

"She said that she also has a rural registered permanent residence, her parents have gone out to work, and she is the only one left in the family. She has graduated from a technical secondary school and has not found a job yet. She has spent all her living expenses and the remittance from her parents has not arrived... I think what she said

It was pity, so I lent some to her."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked: "How much did you borrow for the first time?"

"Fifty." Yang Guangyi remembers this very clearly: "That day she said she had no money to pay the phone bill and borrowed fifty yuan from me for emergencies."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said noncommittally: "You are very generous! Whatever others say is what it is."

Yang Guangyi quickly explained: "I'm not usually like this. Because I had a lot of contact with Zeng Shan at that time, I didn't think too much about it. Besides, she only borrowed fifty. I think this small amount of money is nothing, and she didn't

You must lie to me."

Hu Pingtao did not dwell on this issue: "What happened next?"

"Then there were two more times when she said she had to pay utility bills, so she borrowed 100 yuan from me each time."

"The total is two hundred and fifty... Haha, this number... After she borrowed it, did she pay it back?"

Yang Guangyi nodded: "Repaid."

Hu Pingtao's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, it's quite credible."

Yang Guangyi said: "If Xiao Zeng hadn't paid back the money, nothing like what happened later would have happened to her. I think she's a pretty good person. She doesn't make friends with me for money, so we spend more and more time chatting every day."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Have you fallen in love with her?"

Yang Guangyi hesitated for a moment and nodded hesitantly: "...Yes. It's a coincidence that she invited me to watch a movie that day and said that a friend gave me two tickets. It was a very old cinema with two seats.

That kind of thing. Zeng Shan and I were sitting together. She was wearing a skirt that day, and we were so close to each other."

"When I saw the middle of the show, I couldn't help it any longer, so I squeezed her hand secretly. She didn't respond or pull it back, so she just kept holding it like this. I thought she probably acquiesced, so I squeezed her hand.

Have the guts to hug her."

This was the first time Liu Zhida heard these things. He couldn't help but open his eyes and asked: "What happened next?"
