Chapter 40: The Other Side of Wang Xinming
The car was driving slowly on the bumpy and rugged mountain road, and Wang Xinming drove extremely slowly this time, and his hand holding the steering wheel was extremely tight.
Lin Ping in the car bucket was chatting happily with the students.
For the city, except for Wang Yijie, who followed his parents into the city, everyone else was full of yearning and curiosity.
They asked Lin Ping questions about the city, asking this and that, and it seemed that there were a bunch of questions that could not be asked.
And Lin Ping also took the trouble to answer every student's question.
In just one month, Lin Ping has achieved a very important position in the hearts of these ten children. Each child's favorability towards Lin Ping reached 100.
They felt that Lin Ping was different from everyone they had met before, including their parents, and that Lin Ping understood them better than others, as if they were their big friends.
At this time, Lin Ping found that Liu Qingmei's face was ugly, as if she was sick, sitting in the corner sullenly.
"Liu Qingmei, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Lin Ping asked with concern.
Liu Qingmei nodded, then pressed her hand on her neck and said, "Teacher, I feel a little dizzy, nauseous, and want to vomit." ”
"Wow, Liu Qingmei, don't you have it. Liu Xiangqian said in surprise.
"Get out, Liu Xiangqian, why are you so dirty?" Feng Xiao pushed Liu Xiangqian and then hugged Liu Qingmei with concern.
And Lin Ping knew that she was motion sickness as soon as he saw Liu Qingmei's situation.
"When I feel uncomfortable, I want to vomit. Lin Ping patted Liu Qingmei's back and said.
Liu Qingmei stuck her head out of the gap in the cage, vomited a little, and then just retched.
Lin Ping took out the water bottle he was carrying, asked Liu Qingmei to rinse her mouth, and drank some water.
Wang Xinming saw this scene in the rearview mirror, stopped the car and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ma Zhongguo also got out of the car: "Qingmei, if you are uncomfortable, we won't go, I'll take you back." ”
Liu Qingmei shook her head resolutely.
"Then I'll go slower. Wang Xinming said when he saw this, but in fact, he was already driving slowly enough.
"No, I'm fine. Liu Qingmei said, "Don't be slow, otherwise it will delay everyone's time to enter the city." ”
Wang Xinming sat back in the cab, and the car moved forward again.
The children's excitement was gradually worn out by the long journey, and they stopped making noise, but became silent and looked at the scenery outside the cage, and some even closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Suddenly, the car stopped.
Wang Xinming got down from the cab and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, there is a mountain road ahead, you have to go down and walk by yourself." ”
Lin Ping got out of the cage and asked, "Why?"
Wang Xinming pointed to the winding and undulating dirt road in front of him and said: "The mountain road in front of me is the most difficult to walk in the whole section of the road, it is too dangerous, I have to drive it myself, I have to be nervous, I am nervous to pull the children, let them come down and walk by themselves, safe." ”
Lin Ping nodded and beckoned the children to get out of the car.
"I've wronged you, but the road ahead is too dangerous, so let's go down and walk by ourselves. Wang Xinming said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay, everyone is tired from sitting in the car, it's good to get down and walk. Lin Ping said.
So, Wang Xinming drove slowly in front, and the children slowly followed behind.
After a while, the road became dangerous, because this part of the mountain road was so narrow that people could walk without any problems, but the car was very tight.
The widest part is exactly as wide as Wang Xinming's pickup truck, no more than a penny and no less than a millimeter, and in the narrowest place, nearly half of the tires on the outside of the pickup truck are exposed in the air, and below is a small cliff with a drop of five or six meters.
Lin Ping stared intently at the tires of the pickup truck, and his whole heart rose to his throat. This Wang Xinming is really a master of art and bold, on this mountain road, you give Lin Ping a million, and Lin Ping doesn't dare to drive it.
It's just that Wang Xinming's truck is relatively small, and it can't be a little bigger or a foot wide.
Walking through this mountain road with trepidation, the time has come for the sun to go down, and the sunset on the horizon has left a little red, and the night has come up.
When he arrived at a wide open space, Wang Xinming took a towel and wiped his sweat and walked out of the car, and said with a smile: "It's easier to walk after this road, and there is basically no problem." ”
Wang Xinming took a sip of water: "It is said that if you want to get rich, you must first build a road, and Kushan is delayed by this mountain road." Except for me, there is no second person who dares to drive the car in, as long as this section of the road can be repaired, the villagers in Kushan will be able to live a better life. ”
Regardless of whether Wang Xinming is bragging or not, Lin Ping now admires this man from the bottom of his heart.
"The trail down there is a better walk, and we should be in town by twelve o'clock in the evening. I know the owner of the hotel in the town, let's take the children to live first. Then you can't use my car to enter the county, you have to wait for tomorrow morning's bus, my car pulls pigs, pulling people is an illegal operation, and the traffic police have to arrest me. Wang Xinming said.
"Well, okay, listen to you. Lin Ping said, "Let's rest in place now." ”
"Good. ”
Everyone found a shady place to rest, and Wang Xinming took a few bottles of mineral water from the car for the children to drink.
During the break, Lin Ping did Wang Xinming's side and asked, "Why don't others dare to drive into the bitter mountain, so you take such a big risk?"
Wang Xinming took a sip of water and smiled bitterly: "It's not for a livelihood, alas, the pigs in the Kushan Mountains are cheap, I pulled it out and got it to make a steady profit without losing money." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Xinming said again: "And I especially enjoy the feeling of driving back to Kushan and entering the village, and the people in the mountains look at me like they see that ...... Just like fans see Andy Lau, you don't understand that feeling, the eyes of the people in the mountains looking at me and my car, envy, worship and respect!"
Lin Ping listened silently.
"I live like a dog in the city. But when I returned to the bitter mountain, I became a person. I can straighten my back, and I can speak hard. In the city, I had to nod my head when I saw everyone, and I didn't dare to speak loudly. Wang Xinming choked up a little as he spoke, and hurriedly drank a few sips of water and swallowed it into his stomach.
There are people who are glamorous and hold their heads high in front of you, but you don't know how humble they can be in front of others.
"Alas," Wang Xinming sighed, "after staying in the city for a while, I feel overwhelmed and unbearable." Then I went back to Kushan to collect the pigs, and I felt that my life was meaningful again. ”
Lin Ping looked at Wang Xinming, this person was full of the atmosphere of a small citizen and the spirit of Ah Q. In the city, he will always regain his self-esteem and self-confidence by returning to the bitter mountain, but he is so real and hard to hate.
