Chapter 8: You're Weird
When the small bread drove on the road again, the alterations on the car body changed again, the four big characters of industrial and commercial law enforcement on it were covered tightly by a business poster brought by Zhang Deli, a few people under the guidance of Zhang You, from the small road out of the county, straight to the nearby villages, although Zhang You has been asking about He Qi's intentions, but he just smiled faintly, and said: "Anyway, it's all along the way, and it's better to do something than a boring journey." β
"Has he been to our place?" This sentence made Zhang You a little puzzled, He Qi got into the car and looked at the scenery along the way with great interest, and from time to time asked him a few words about the customs of this place, which was clearly the appearance of an outsider, but how did he know that along this national highway close to the village for a while was his uncle's place.
"Don't say it's him, you say a few words, even I know where to go. Zhang Deli glanced at Zhang You with disdain, and said sarcastically: " I really don't know how you got to today, do our business, to a strange place, even if you don't have a careful understanding, at least the general direction still has to be figured out, what villages are there around here, I can say a few, what are you doing with your mobile phone, there is everything on the Internet, not only that, even the wind reviews can be made, just take the previous Zhangjiazhuang, Lijia Village and other places, it is said that the folk customs are simple, and they are kind and charitable, but ah, this guy doesn't believe in the simple folk customs. β
"The people over there are very nice. Zhang You was stunned for a moment, there was a warm smile on his face, he glanced at He Qi quite strangely, and said involuntarily: "I have been to those places a few times, the car in the factory is stuck on the road, say hello to a lot of people to help, give cigarettes and do not smoke, just say that the Zhuang family is not interested in this, very enthusiastic, and once, I went to the countryside to receive goods, sprained my foot and neck, swollen and a steamed bun can not move, two passing uncles did not say a word, carried me and sent back to the county, good people, good people..."
"Warm touch, can only happen when there is no temptation, they have nothing to ask for you, but the value you can bring is not worth their risk, in the face of a steel hammer, there may be many people turn a blind eye, and even kindly ask who fell out of this dollar, but when the value of the steel hammer rolls to a hundred times a thousand times, what happens will be a completely different story. He Qi smiled and continued: "People will scramble to let go of the dignity and principles they have worked so hard to maintain in the face of a dollar, and they will even see it as worthless hypocrisy and ridicule, the sight of snatching the head, you can see it soon." β
"No, it won't. Zhang You was stunned, his brows also wrinkled, he came to these villages several times, whether it was official business, or walking in the private countryside, he met all the villagers with a simple smile, and the things that happened were not as responsible as those coastal places reported in the newspaper, those villagers never asked for anything in return, the last time, he took out fifty yuan to thank the two old men, but the eyes of the people stared, turned around and left, if he hadn't limped back to persuade others, the scene didn't know how embarrassing it was, so he couldn't help but say it, but after speaking, he saw a very strange smile on the faces of these peopleγ
"Later, how did you thank the people?" Zhu Jiujiu sighed at this time, feeling that this Zhang You seemed to be a little unbright, and he was a little happy and a little puzzled in his heart, happy that if this guy was really the old man in the family who found them to lead them into the game, then this game seems to have nothing to be afraid of, whether the situation is good or not, in the end, it still depends on who is manipulating the front desk behind the scenes, if Shakespeare's big play is thrown to a novice, it will also be scolded by the audience for a while, what is incomprehensible is that this guy's previous little action does mean that he has a problem, if the problem is not with the old man, then where is it, in the problem of Zhang You's sudden appearance, She also agrees with He Qi's words, there are no coincidences in this world, some are just the result of careful layout and ingenious design, those who suddenly walk into your life may have been quietly watching you on the side for a long time.
Later, I invited them to dinner, and then everyone drank a few bottles of wine happily, chatted about the interesting stories in the countryside, and the uncle also said, next time, let me find them, the stick noodles at home are very fresh, take them casually. Zhang You subconsciously said so, but after this sentence was finished, he regretted it a little, he really went to them once, at that time he wanted to please a leader, felt that there was nothing new in sending cigarettes and wine, so he wanted to find some fresh agricultural products, but after going to others, the uncle was very polite, and said that others bought it for twenty-one catties, and his friend took five yuan to mean it, where was he embarrassed to dip this cheap, after buying the messy things back, he calculated carefully, and spent more than a hundred, thinking of this, the warm smile on his face froze, and just muttered: "Anyway, it's better than most people anywhere else. β
"Eating such a meal and drinking such a few bottles of wine will cost hundreds of yuan. Zhu Jiujiu glanced at Zhang You mockingly, and said coldly: "In this world, only a fool like you will be fooled, if this is called simplicity, then we are simply good citizens." β
"It's just some sophistication of human feelings, and it's inevitable. He Qi helped Zhang You out of the siege with a sentence at this time, he was still a little embarrassed, but after listening to He Qi, he suddenly felt that it was not a big deal, in this place in China, many times everyone is unwilling to ask for money, if you help people do things, if you collect money, then everyone's face is not good-looking, inviting someone to eat is serious, that is, exchanging feelings and sending the meaning of thanks, don't you all come like this, but He Qi's words made Zhang You embarrassed again, I saw him smile slightly, and said slowly: However, such a sophistication is no longer simple two words can be described, after birth, it is constantly plundering the supplies that can grow from their peers, and the twins in the same bed still have to compete for the mother's milk, not to mention the adults who have grown up, so the most simple human nature is better to use the most selfish nature to describe it, and the simplicity as a mask is itself a manifestation of selfishness. β
"This, this, you have to look at it to know. Zhang You was a little dizzy by He Qi's words, although he had been a cadre of state-owned enterprises in a county, but where would he think about this kind of thing on weekdays, he just instinctively followed, judged, what he believed, and only those who could be seen, thinking of this, he shook his head, his tone was not the panic and embarrassment just now, but more insistence, and said seriously:" You can't always think that people are bad, there are good people in this world, it's just that you haven't seen them and you're disappointed in everyone, there are always people who are willing to do good things with peace of mind!"
"You haven't seen me, how do you know who I've met?" He Qi glanced at Zhang You playfully, shook his head, and said: "What kind of person you meet, what kind of person you will become, when you meet him in darkness, you will feel that there is no light in this world, and when you meet him in the light, you will feel that there can be no darkness in this world, but I have seen a different him, that, you have never seen him." β
"What are you talking about, can you say something I understand?" Zhang You's eyes widened in astonishment, he looked at He Qi very blankly, and saw that the smile on his face was very strange, and he turned his head to see that Zhang Deli and Zhu Jiujiu were also looking at themselves like that, and couldn't help touching their faces, and shouted: "What's wrong, what's wrong, it's up to me to see what I'm doing, he said that if you don't understand this, you don't ask him what he sees me doing, and I don't write on my face!"
"Zhang You, you're weird. Zhu Jiujiu quietly looked at the panicked Zhang You, and said to him very seriously: " You have had a good life, although you can't be rich and expensive, but you can have no worries about food and clothing, and it is also the best choice in this county, but you have given up that kind of life, and you are willing to let your road get narrower and narrower, from the bright road to the winding path that cannot see the precarious road ahead, to be able to make such a choice, I think you must be able to give us a reason, as for the reorganization and unemployment, maybe it is needless to say, when we go to a place, we will try our best to understand the customs and customs there wide streets and narrow alleys, for unknown partners, we will also find a way to find the reason for his arrival, people like you, there is indeed such a one in Xingguo County, It's just that his name is Zhang Quande, seven years ago he inexplicably gave up the future of the tuba and disappeared, after appearing again, he became Zhang You that no one knows, but the road will leave traces, some people forget you, but some people, still remember the mole on the tip of your eyebrows, Zhang You, we put you here for a few hours, it's not as simple as just sitting in the teahouse, about Xingguo, about Zhang Zhongbai, about you, we have found a lot of interesting stories, you, do you have anything to say? Isn't it the person who can make you give up all this and choose this path?"
"Who wants to live in this ravine for the rest of their lives. Zhang You was silent for a long time, shook his head, and said self-deprecatingly: "When I was the assistant to the factory director, it was indeed very beautiful, but once I went on a business trip to Shanghai, and saw the world of flowers, my heart can never be taken back, at that time, I thought, I don't want to live this day of a few hundred yuan a month, at that time, my uncle, who I haven't seen for many years, found me..."
