Chapter 14 The Story of Qi Wenlong
Leaving the chess and card room, I walked towards the main street, where I could only stop Sanbengzi.
"Young man, where are you going?" asked the driver of Sanbengzi on the main street.
"Nan of the county, Qingfu Road, Second Road..., I'm sorry, I won't leave now." I was about to get on the bus, but Yu Guang saw a familiar figure.
It was Qi Yao who left the chess and card room first, and I trotted and came to her side.
The single mother and fetus of 21 years have made me wonder how to say hello to the girl and what kind of words to use to get into the topic. I can only ask embarrassedly: "I'm so late, why don't I go home?"
When I finished saying this, I felt stupid. I was obviously on the way home...
"Home, where is there any home?" Qi Yao laughed at myself and looked at me. She no longer had the indifference she had in the chess and card room before, maybe it was because I helped her.
I have nothing to say. In the family of a gambler, the separation of his wife and children is the most important thing. I don’t know how to comfort him, so I can only follow her silently, regardless of whether she is willing or not.
"What are you always following me?" Qi Yaojiao asked.
Although it was a little embarrassed, I blurted out for some reason: "Why did you ask me to follow you? I just happened to go there."
He acted like a scoundrel and asked Qi Yao to have no choice but to ignore me, and continued to move forward.
Since I had lunch at my master's house, it has been dark and quiet at night, and my unsatisfactory stomach has also started to roar.
Especially when I smelled the fragrance from a brightly lit barbecue restaurant in front of me, the store name is very unique, called Erlangzi Barbecue.
"Are you hungry or not? Let's have some skewers together." I asked.
"No." Qi Yao decisively rejected my kindness, but I keenly realized that her eyes were always looking at the barbecue restaurant involuntarily, and she couldn't help but swallow.
She must have wanted to eat, but she rejected me out of self-esteem.
After figuring this out, I was going to give her a perfect step: "I'm hungry, you have a meal with me, and I'll help your father quit gambling. How about it?"
Sure enough, my words attracted Qi Yao's attention and looked at me with a suspicious look in surprise: "Really?"
"Really, I won't lie to girls, I promise." I sincerely confronted Qi Yao's eyes and promised.
Master has taught me a lot of things. In addition to using a thousand techniques, there is another sentence that will benefit me for life. This sentence is: If you want someone to believe in you, your eyes must be sincerely staring at the other person's eyes, slow down your speaking speed, and let the other person feel your sincerity, even if you are telling a lie!
"Okay, I believe you once." Qi Yao agreed, perhaps putting all her hope on me. The hostility and defense in her eyes disappeared, and she took the initiative to stretch out her slender jade hand: "My name is Qi Yao, I am studying in the provincial capital now, where are you."
The first time I shook hands with a girl, my nervousness made my arms heavy. I gently held Qi Yao's hand, and the cool and smooth touch made me feel like I was electrocuted.
The nervousness made my whole mouth numb: "My name is Li Yanqiu."
It's almost nine o'clock in the evening, but the barbecue restaurant is still in a hot state.
After finding an empty seat, Qi Yao and I sat down.
I have to say that the taste of this barbecue is very good, and the roasted solid eggs are even more unique.
"By the way, Yanqiu, you are so young, why are you in a place like a chess and card room every day?" Qi Yao was very confused. When she mentioned the chess and card room, her tone was involuntarily low.
"Uh... I'm so happy with gambling." I scratched my head, not knowing how to answer this question, so I can't tell her that I'm a fraud.
"Li Yanqiu, I think you are a good person. I will give you a suggestion to stay away from that kind of place, don't ruin your future and implicate your family." Qi Yao persuaded seriously.
I lowered my head and said nothing. I am a fraud, how could I leave the gambling table?
Seeing that I didn't answer, she was silent for a while and spoke slowly.
"Tell you a story." Qi Yao took a sip of Shanhuan soda and fell into memories.
"In the past, there was a man whose family was in a difficult situation, but he was unwilling to be ordinary, and he studied hard and had excellent grades. He was the pride of the emperor in everyone's eyes. He was admitted to the provincial agricultural university with the top scorer in science in the city. He was the only college student in the entire town in the 1970s, and even the tuition was supported by the town."
"In 1974, after graduating from college, he refused to hire high-paying enterprises from major enterprises. With dreams and ambitions, he returned to the town where he gave birth to him. He always remembered the kindness of the town supporting him in college. He wanted to repay this place through his own knowledge and get rid of the troubles of poverty."
"In 1975, he became the youngest leader in the town that year. He personally inspected the soil environment of many rural areas, proposed the agricultural production increase policy, and supported the black soil to achieve a bumper harvest. He was only twenty-six years old that year."
"In 1976, with his opposition, excellent leadership and execution, all farmers in this town gave up the use of farm fertilizer that had been used for thousands of years and used unheard of fertilizers. This move also became a rare case in the province and even the country at that time."
"Facts have proved that his decision was right. The 78 years of reform also confirmed his forward-looking vision. In the autumn of that year, the lush crops and doubled output value allowed all farmers to have a bumper harvest year. From then on, he became a hero of the town and an excellent backbone of the province."
"He got married in 1977 and was with a teacher. In 1978, they gave birth to a daughter who inherited the talent of his father and the beauty of his mother."
"A man is an excellent leader with a bright future, and a woman is a teacher. He teaches according to his aptitude. He is originally happy and fulfilling and envied by everyone, but his family is wiped out because of gambling."
"In 1984, a man got involved in gambling. At first, it was just a small gambling, and the woman didn't care. The man was busy with work and stressed, and it was not harmful to have a small gambling. But as time went by, the man became more and more uncontrollable. He went out for a long time to go to major casinos in the city. Later, he embezzled public funds to gamble. No matter how the woman dissuaded and begged, it was useless."
"Until 1990, a man was removed from his post. Fortunately, he was not arrested and imprisoned. However, without the blessing of power, who would care about his former identity and contribution? The creditor chased him home, beat him, insulted him, and even women and children were affected. Every few days after being beaten, it was a nightmare for women and children, because they had to walk into the campus under the strange eyes of everyone, endured everyone's discussion and despise..."
When he said this, Qi Yao was already crying, her hair was stuck in tears, spreading scattered on her face, her eyes were desperate and fearful.
She just looked at me like that, without blinking: "Li Yanqiu, you should have guessed who that man is."
"That's right, he is my father, the best leader in Xinglin Town, Yuanxianbei, Qi Wenlong."
