Chapter 5 Ill-fated
"Teacher Liu, I would like to take a leave of absence for English class this Friday afternoon. My dad is going to take me to the house of Director Wang of the Education Commission to talk about something. ”
"Excuse me? do you still want to..."Liu Laowei was stunned for a moment, his thinking was a little confused, and he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Which Director Wang are you talking about?" Liu Lao Wei suddenly reacted, and said with a surprised face.
"Director Wang of the Municipal Education Commission! His big name seems to be Wang Qinian. Lu Menglin smiled.
Liu Laowei suddenly gasped, Director Wang Qinian of the Municipal Education Commission, the Director Wang who is in charge of teacher establishment and evaluation of professional titles. The other party has direct power to decide his career.
"Do you know Director Wang at home?" asked Liu Laowei with a suspicious face.
Lu Menglin nodded and replied very sincerely: "I shouldn't know him, but my father's good friend Director Zhao knows him, and it was Uncle Zhao who said he would take us over." ”
"Director Zhao, is it Director Zhao of the second factory?" Liu Lao Wei chuckled in his heart again, and immediately believed ninety percent.
Liufang Group is divided into five major factories, Zhao Yuanchao, the director of the second factory, is definitely a ruthless character, he became the director of the factory at a young age, and I heard that people have a powerful background in the province.
"Yes, Uncle Zhao and my dad are fellow villagers and have known each other for many years. Lu Menglin replied calmly.
"Oh! I see! You kid, don't say it early if you have such a relationship in the family! The teacher will take good care of you in the future, and tell the teacher if you have anything!" Liu Lao Wei was unusual, trying to squeeze out some smiles on that fat face, and said stupidly.
"No need! I won't tell my family about this incident, so please respect yourself in the future. Lu Menglin commanded lightly.
"Okay, good!" Liu Lao Wei smiled with a smile on his face, nodded again and again, but he was really surprised in his heart, thinking to himself when he was facing this kid, how could he have a feeling of facing his boss, what a hell!
Anyway, don't provoke this kid in the future, in case what he said is true, he will have the opportunity to sue himself from Director Wang of the Education Commission, but he will lose his job!
Lu Menglin didn't continue to pay attention to Liu Laowei, but walked straight into the classroom.
At this time, dozens of pairs of eyes in the classroom looked at each other at the same time.
Lu Menglin was calm, and the expression on his face was even calmer, and he did not have the slightest frustration when he was beaten.
And Liu Laowei, who came in later, made everyone stunned and dumbfounded.
Liu Laowei's body was dirty, and there was a white mark left by the blackboard eraser on his left cheek, obviously as if he had been beaten, but he still smiled with embarrassment: "The teacher accidentally fell just now, but fortunately, classmate Lu Menglin helped me in time." The teacher expressed his gratitude to Mr. Lu, and now I am going to the infirmary to see a doctor, so you can study on your own!"
The class was in an uproar.
This is obviously a nonsense explanation, which makes the students eager to petrify and speculate about what happened in the corridor just now?
Why did Lu Menglin not only not be beaten, but seemed to have subdued Liu Laowei, this style of painting is too weird!
Liu Lao Wei hurriedly left the classroom, and the eyes of the students once again focused on Lu Menglin without exception.
At this moment, Lu Menglin was thinking about another more important thing.
The memories that have been sealed for many years seem to be stimulated by a special point, and they become vivid and vivid all of a sudden.
The fact that Lu Menglin casually said just now that Director Zhao would take the Lu family's father and son to find Director Wang is not only true, but also an important turning point that will lead to the Lu family's poor life later.
It's a pity that Lu Menglin was ignorant, although he was in the bureau, he didn't know what was going on.
Back then, it was this director Zhao who took Lu's father and son to the home of Director Wang of the Education Commission, and used the excuse of helping Lu Menglin go to college to trick his father into signing a letter of responsibility for him.
Later, it was because of the existence of that letter of responsibility that my father was speechless, and he was laid off with stigma, and the Lu family, which was originally a middle-level cadre family in the factory, has plummeted since then.
In order to win back this breath, his father decided to go to the sea to do business, smashed down his small savings, and borrowed hundreds of thousands, but he lost all his money, and the huge debt pressure made Lu Menglin's family unable to raise their heads in front of relatives and friends for a long time.
If it weren't for these debts, with Lu Menglin's hard work and work ability, he wouldn't have to make a down payment for a house until he was in his thirties.
So the source of all this goes back to that damn letter of responsibility.
Lu Menglin was thinking about how to make his stubborn father not sign the letter of responsibility, but there was a long-lost class bell in his ears.
"Brother Menglin, let's go! I'm going to play the arcade machine after school early today, I'll please!"
Wang Shaoxiao is a dark-skinned little fat man, his appearance is not good, he walks a little outside, and he looks a little obscene, he is the kind that is not likable in the class, and he only has a good relationship with Lu Menglin.
The fat man's grades are so bad that he can't be saved, plus he is timid and small, and he is often teased, but his family conditions are not bad, his parents are real power cadres in the factory, and there is an endless stream of people who give gifts to his house every festival, so this kid's head is very generous, and he always shouts for a treat.
Lu Menglin came back to his senses and looked directly at the little fat man in front of him, his nose suddenly felt sour.
When he was a teenager, Lu Menglin never felt that Wang Shaoxiao was his best friend, because this little fat man's appearance and style of acting were too obscene, like a villain, but it wasn't until the day he lost him that he realized that Wang Shaoxiao was actually an out-and-out honest child.
It should have been in the second semester of the second semester of high school that Wang Shaoxiao's father died in a car accident, and his mother's mental state collapsed all of a sudden. Wang Shaoxiao, who lost the breadwinner of his family, did not go to college, but was directly arranged to enter the factory.
Since the end of the 90s, state-owned enterprises have fallen, especially cotton spinning enterprises, have been going downhill, and profits have plummeted.
Wang Shaoxiao really couldn't get along in the factory, so he could only go to work during the day, set up a stall at night, pedal a tricycle to solicit customers, and his life was extremely miserable.
At that time, Lu Menglin and a group of classmates had just graduated and joined the work, and they heard that Wang Shaoxiao often borrowed money from his classmates, but everyone just took it as a joke, didn't care, and even felt bored.
However, every time he hears that Lu Menglin is returning to his hometown, Wang Shaoxiao will definitely come to accompany him, and just like when he was a child, he likes to pat his chest and shout for a treat.
Everyone also knows that his income is meager, and he will naturally not be asked to pay for dinner, at most he will only let him buy a few sticks of water, and when they are separated, Lu Menglin usually buys two packs of cigarettes and throws them to him.
just didn't expect that Wang Shaoxiao would be the first among this group of classmates to pass away.
Maybe it's because of the hard life, overwork, or because of depression, Wang Shaoxiao never woke up after a big drunk.
In his life, he was as light as a feather, living a very marginal life, as small as if he had never come. Except for Lu Menglin and a few classmates who had a good relationship, he didn't leave a slightly deeper impression in the hearts of others at all.
And Wang Shaoxiao's untimely death had a very big impact on Lu Menglin at that time, and his fate was ill-fated, leaving only deep regret.
