Chapter 464: He's My Brother

How did Wang Xuewen get involved with pyramid schemes? Zhang Tong was a little puzzled, and in Li Saifeng's explanation, Zhang Tong slowly learned what happened.

Wang Xuewen is a person because of Down syndrome, so it has caused some language and memory disorders and hand and foot coordination is not very good. Of course, he can't reach the stage of being mentally handicapped, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go to high school that year. Although his high school grades are basically at the bottom of his age, at least he finished his high school courses.

In the first semester of the third year of high school, Zhang Tong and his classmates went to a KTV party to welcome the new millennium. After Zhang Tong crossed over, Wang Xuewen was a friend of Zhang Tong in school. So he was in a hurry. helped Zhang Tong's parents to help find Zhang Tong. This Wang Xuewen's grades are not good, and this distraction is even worse.

There was a conference in the school, and I was thinking about whether to let those students with bad grades not take the college entrance examination, or simply stop taking the second half of the third semester of high school. When the time comes, the school will issue them a diploma, but don't come to school. Because Huaihai's high school education resources were also in a state of tension at that time. There are 50 or 60 students in a high school class, and some schools even have 70 or 80 students.

The student's seat was so small that he couldn't move and turn around when he sat in. The school hopes to persuade a group of students who are not studying well to go home, and set aside resources for students who have the opportunity to go to college and college. Let them have a better revision learning environment.

It's nice to say, but that's the reality. In 1999, the university was still in the first year of expansion, and it was not yet the first year of the university expansion, and there was no such thing as a private school. The difficulty of the high school entrance examination in 99 is not known how many times higher than that of 20 years later. Even Zhang Tong's high school is considered to be among the top ten high schools in the district, but not many can be admitted to university in one session. There are 60 people in a class, and there are about one or two who can enter the first line, three or five who can enter the second line, and then there may be seven or eight more who can enter the junior college. At that time, every student who had the hope of being admitted to the first line was a treasure of the school, for fear of getting sick and bad.

At that time, two-thirds or even more of the students did not have the opportunity to go to college and college. Twenty years later, the number of junior high school graduates admitted to colleges and universities has skyrocketed from 1.5 million in '99 to more than 600 and nearly 7 million. Twenty years later, if there are 60 people in a high school class, basically a few people will not be able to get into college. After all, you can go to college with 300 points, and you can study with a little money if you really have poor grades.

Under the circumstances of the educational resources and social background of that year, the school dissuaded some students who were not good at learning and liked to make trouble, and did not let them take the college entrance examination, which was a very common phenomenon in the whole country, and everyone thought it was normal and correct.

Wang Xuewen was originally in the ranks of the retreat, originally Wang Xuewen was not good at studying, but at least he was active and serious in class. But in the second half of the third semester of high school, because Zhang Luo helped find Zhang Tong, he rode a bicycle every day with the manuscript paper and paste bucket of the missing person notice around Huaihai City to go out and post the missing person notice. Because of this, Wang Xuewen's heart gradually stopped at school.

At that time, the school's director of education said that the parents of the students in the class who did not like to do their studies and had poor academic performance and affected other people's learning were called to do the work. We must be responsible for the future of our children, and we must not let these people who do not like to learn affect those who love to learn.

This is really unpleasant, and it is very unfair in the present, but in the context of the time, this choice is cruel and realistic. And Wang Xuewen was also among those who were persuaded to return home at that time. Li Saifeng, the head teacher at the time, disagreed, she said that everyone else was easy to retreat, but Wang Xuewen couldn't retreat.

Why?

Because Wang Xuewen is not a bad boy, he doesn't don't study or doesn't like to study, he loves to learn too much, but his physical condition makes him unable to compete fairly with healthy people. Therefore, Li Saifeng felt that it was unfair to remove Wang Xuewen, and it was very bad for him.

"This kid is trying to make himself live like a normal person, he is not a thorn or a troublemaker. If we, as teachers, deny this child's efforts at this important moment, it will be devastating to his life. He is already in poor health, and if we deprive him of his dignity as well, can we, guys, still be regarded as teachers? Teaching and educating people, teaching and educating people, and in the end, our education will ultimately fall on educating people. Wang Xuewen was hit by Zhang Tong's disappearance, and in this case, the school was even better off not giving him this kind of treatment. Guys, we've been teaching for years. Everyone must know that it is difficult to teach a good child, but it is too easy to destroy a good child. Do you really bear it?" Li Saifeng said on the spot, which calmed all the teachers in the meeting.

This can be regarded as saving Wang Xuewen, and he followed all the courses in high school. After Wang Xuewen's parents found out, they took Wang Xuewen to Li Saifeng's house and asked Wang Xuewen to kowtow to Li Saifeng. There is still a difference between a teacher and a master, and what Li Saifeng has done can already be called a master for Wang Xuewen. Since then, during the New Year's holidays and Li Saifeng's birthday, Wang Xuewen will always bring some fruits to Li Saifeng's house to congratulate, and the relationship between the two is more like an elder relative. (Note: Master and Master are not the same thing, don't confuse them.) Chinese Pai ethics: Heaven and earth are the masters, and the master is the master. It is the elder who is second only to his parents. )

Since then, Li Saifeng and Wang Xuewen's family have become closer. Over the years, Li Saifeng has been selected as an outstanding educator many times because of his student-oriented educational philosophy and willingness to learn more advanced teaching methods. He has been promoted from a high school teacher in an ordinary high school to a teaching director in a key middle school in the city. So Zhang Tong naturally couldn't find Li Saifeng when he went to the old school.

Over the years, Li Saifeng has also taken care of his students, and it should be said that some things are really magical. From 1999 to around 2000, the relationship between teachers and students changed rapidly, and in the eighties and nineties, most of them would continue to contact each other after graduating from high school, and even if their classmates did not contact each other, students would also contact their teachers. Especially those good teachers who helped them when they were students also move around as adults. Since the beginning of the new century, the relationship between teachers and students has changed very rapidly, and education has suddenly become a business industry. The teacher-student relationship is more like buying and selling, so the relationship is also fading.

After graduating from high school, Wang Xuewen did not have a job and was unemployed at home for a year. This is also normal, who hires him for the same amount of money? He is not good at talking, and his hands and feet are not very sharp, so why should he compete with those normal people for jobs? But then again, Wang Xuewen has to work, and if he doesn't work, where will he get food. You can't eat your parents for a lifetime, there will always be a day when your parents get old or even pass away.

At that time, don't really say it, Zhang Tong's parents were busy with Wang Xuewen after Zhang Tong's disappearance, and the couple thought Wang Xuewen was good. He is not smart but a warm-hearted good person, after knowing that Wang Xuewen was unemployed at home and had no job, the couple discussed and invited Wang Xuewen to the store as a small worker.

said that it was a small worker, but Wang Xuewen was not good at his hands and feet, and he couldn't clean up the table to greet guests. If he were to do this, the small restaurant's business would be ruined. So Wang Xuewen was arranged to work in the back kitchen, helping to chop onions, garlic, washing vegetables and picking vegetables, and changing gas tanks in the store to resist rice and oil.

It's so hard, how much does it cost a month? 400, including two meals.

In 2000, a small restaurant on the side of the road in Huaihai cost two or three yuan to fry a vegetarian dish, and a fried one with a bit of meat, such as fish-flavored shredded pork or something, was only five yuan. A frozen duck is only sold for 16 pieces of braised or beer duck.

Small restaurants don't make money, what they earn is hard-earned money. In the store, the husband and wife didn't need to invite someone, so what could they do in the store if they invited Wang Xuewen to do it? To put it bluntly, it was to give the child a bite to eat and earn some pocket money. The two of them are getting older, and it is a little difficult to do physical work, so they asked Wang Xuewen to do some moving and lifting things. 400 yuan a month, Wang Xuewen rides a bicycle for 45 minutes to work every day, eats two meals together in the store at noon and evening, and rides home from work at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Wang Xuewen's parents are actually very happy, because no one outside uses Wang Xuewen. Now there is a small restaurant that takes care of him as a buddy, not to mention making more and earning less, as long as there is work and no discrimination is made, this can do anything. What's more, Zhang Tong's parents are also kind-hearted and will not bully Wang Xuewen.

So from 2000 to 2014, Wang Xuewen worked in this small shop in Zhang Tong for 14 years, and his salary was paid by the market. Although it is said that he has not made much money, Wang Xuewen was very happy at that time.

Until 2014, Zhang Tong's parents were infected with malignant influenza at the same time, and the two died less than a month ago. This small shop can't be opened, so Wang Xuewen can be regarded as coming out of this small shop. It must also be said here that when Zhang Tong's parents were in the hospital before they left, Wang Xuewen ran before and after. After the husband and wife left, Wang Xuewen did a series of things to deal with the aftermath and find a cemetery to buy a cemetery.

Moreover, in 2014, the housing prices in Huaihai were already very high, and Zhang Tong's parents died very suddenly without leaving a will. Many relatives hit the idea of Zhang Tong's house, but Wang Xuewen made a brainless mistake, he stopped these people with a kitchen knife and said that Zhang Tong hadn't found it yet. Now that there are so many returnees, why don't you know if he has also crossed over? What if he comes back that day?!

So at that time, Wang Xuewen entrusted this small shop to the Huaihai government agency. This is also the reason why after Zhang Tong came back, this small shop only took more than ten days to go through the formalities, and it quickly arrived in his hands. If it were in the hands of those distant relatives, some of this bullshit lawsuit would have been fought. It must be said again here that Wang Xuewen is stupid, reacts slowly, and his speech is not very clear, but he is not mentally retarded.

"So, Xiao Zhang. You talk about Wang Xuewen doing this to your parents and your family, even if you didn't come back at that time. You should recognize him as a brother now, too. Li Saifeng whispered in detail what had happened in the years since Zhang Tong left.

Zhang Tong nodded, he was calm on the surface but still very turbulent inside. Because the last time I saw Wang Xuewen, he didn't tell him anything, and he didn't mention any of these things to himself. If Wang Xuewen said it at that time, how could Zhang Tong let Wang Xuewen go so easily.

"After Wang Xuewen left your parents' small shop, it will be difficult to find a job. Although the government has always advocated equality, you also know the employers. They are very picky, and it is sometimes difficult for healthy people to find a job, not to mention Wang Xuewen. Later, I looked for a student of mine who was now a regional manager at Yichu Lotus to see if I could give him a job. My student saw that although Wang Xuewen's hands and feet were slow, he was very hard-working, so he arranged a job in the supermarket. Although you can't make a lot of money, it's good to be able to earn money and work like ordinary people. ”

Wang Xuewen now has a monthly salary of 3,200 yuan, and he has always given 2,500 yuan to his family every month for his parents to save. Keep 700 yuan for pocket money, including transportation expenses, telephone bills, and money for the occasional meal out at noon. But this month he saved only a thousand yuan for his parents. So his parents were curious to know where the rest of his money went. But Wang Xuewen didn't say whether he lived or died. ”

"Because the child has a good relationship with me, his parents called me and asked me to help ask. Mainly because I was afraid that he would be deceived, but I couldn't ask him if I was alive or dead. I talked to him and talked about you. I just knew you were back, so I asked him to take me to see you. Wang Xuewen had the best relationship with you back then, and he still remembers that you helped him teach the bad students who bullied him in school for so many years. You try to talk to him and let him tell you what the hell is going on. Don't let people deceive you, I heard that MLM is very powerful now, and you can cheat all your wealth by giving you two lessons. You know that Wang Xuewen is not very smart, and we are all worried that he has been deceived. How difficult it is for him to earn more than a thousand yuan!" Li Saifeng said a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li. You've said so much today, let me say it to you. In my heart, I regard Wang Xuewen as my brother. If it was really a liar who cheated him out of his money, you can rest assured that I would not let that scammer go. Indeed, I will leave him without good fruit to eat. Zhang Tong said this in a loud voice, but it was categorical.

Yes, Wang Xuewen is not smart, but he has a pure heart. He helped him remember it for more than ten years, and he helped him do the funeral of his parents when he was not at home, and he didn't say anything after seeing himself after doing all this. It's still the truth that Mr. Li Saifeng said when he came today. How could such a person not be my Zhang Tong's brother?! This is the real sibling friend.

Zhang Tong thought of this and greeted Wang Xuewen: "Xiaowen, are you free later?"

"I ...... I'm off today. ”

"Okay, come with me to the bookstore later. It's been a long time since I've been to a bookstore to read comic books, and I don't even know where the big bookstore is now. Zhang Tong scratched his head.

"I know...... Say, I'll take you later. Wang Xuewen smiled.
