Chapter Twenty-Three: A False
Wang Wei hasn't been home for a long time, some people in the village are almost unrecognizable, where are they muttering, discussing Wang Wei, Wang Wei walked over and greeted everyone, when he saw the men, he lit cigarettes for them, and when he saw the children and women, he gave each of them a handful of fruit candy, and the people in the village praised Wang Wei for his talent, praised him for his talent, praised him for his talent, praised him for earning light for the village, Wang Wei heard their praise, didn't say anything, just smiled slightly. He can't do anything today, he can only follow the development of the situation, as long as there are no accidents, let the day pass smoothly, in fact, it is quite fast, the people in the village come to have a meal, drink a few glasses of wine and it's over.
Wang Jincai beckoned everyone to sit down, the dishes in the kitchen were almost done, and a few smaller boys in the village began to serve dishes outside, and placed them on the table in an orderly manner under the guidance of Wang Jincai. In other people's homes, he can't help himself, but in his own home he can play freely, the bigger the noodles, the better, the more dishes the better, the more wine you drink, the more face, today he is not afraid of spending money, just to fight for face. Whoever has no old man in this nearby village, who wants to hold a funeral, or whose family wants to marry a daughter-in-law, will invite him to Zhangluo Zhangluo, but no matter how big the scene was before, he felt that it was not as magnificent as today's scene, and this was the happiest and most touching time he had ever been in Zhangluo, because this time it was not for others, but for his son, and his face was bright! Today, whether you believe it or not, his brilliance is more dazzling than that of Li Zhishu.
After the dishes were all set, Wang Jincai and Wang Wei acted separately, filled the wine glasses in front of the villagers, and told everyone to eat and drink well, and never be polite.
Halfway through the dish, after drinking a few glasses of wine, someone proposed to let Wang Wei say two words, and after anyone proposed this, everyone asked Wang Wei to say two words, and then applause rang out. This applause made Wang Wei a little overwhelmed, I remember the last time I enjoyed such fierce applause was when he just introduced himself in college, at that time he was also at a loss, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him below, waiting for him to speak, he was nervous and didn't know how he introduced himself, only to hear him introduce himself and a burst of fierce applause, that day in addition to self-introduction, there were some activities, the host was Zhou Fei, he couldn't remember what the specific program was, but it was on that day that he officially met Zhou Fei, and remembered Zhou Fei, and became good friends with him later。
Standing in front of the villagers today, he has the illusion of four years ago, today he is as nervous as that day, that day he was nervous because he was facing a group of strangers from all over the country, but today he is nervous because he has no bottom in his heart, maybe every word he said today is a lie, this is not what he wants, but the current situation must be said a little, not to say that it is not okay, and it is necessary to bite the bullet.
"Thank you all for coming to congratulate me, this is the best honor I have ever had, it will last a lifetime, I know that you are here today to recognize my achievements, and I am really grateful that you can share this unforgettable moment with me. In the past few years, I have been going to school outside, rarely go home, and the family is thanks to the care of the villagers, so that this family will not fall, I am here to give you a cup of friends, thank you for your love to me and this family. After Wang Wei finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine, and the people below also drank the wine in the cup, followed by applause, and Wang Wei finished speaking.
"It's so good, it's worthy of being a top student, people have to look at it differently!" Li Zhishu waited for Wang Wei to finish speaking, and couldn't wait to praise Wang Wei for what he said. He is always like this, every time he goes to a meeting of the township government, he is always the first person to shout good, and before others react, he has already applauded the leader, so there is no one in the township who does not know him, he inadvertently became a celebrity, and today his habit has not changed, and everyone applauded with him.
"Wang Wei, show your graduation certificate to everyone! "Li Zhishu really can't open any pot, fortunately, Wang Wei has been prepared, otherwise he would have messed up.
"Uncle Li, it's really unfortunate that my graduation certificate is in the unit where I just found a job, but I have a photo on my phone, you can take a look. Wang Wei took a deep breath to keep himself calm, he couldn't show a little abnormality, the fake play had to be played well, and the fake play would come true. Fortunately, Zhou Fei acted quickly, saved his life, and saved face, the photo was sent by Zhou Fei when Wang Wei and Li Juan chatted, it was exactly the same as the real one, there was no sign of fake, and it was no problem to hide it from the people in the village.
Wang Wei handed the mobile phone to Li Zhishu, Li Zhishu looked at it for a long time, and then handed the mobile phone to the next person, so that you pass me, I pass his, after a while, everyone who came has seen it, they are all seeing the university diploma for the first time, I don't know how to comment on it, I just feel that the paper is quite heavy, and the bright red school seal makes them feel awe. Almost everyone here looked at it, and the phone returned to Wang Wei's hand, the strange thing was that everyone stopped talking, which made Wang Wei nervous, he didn't know what happened to them, the photo couldn't go wrong, he checked it carefully several times, and there was no problem at all, so why did they fall silent, what were they thinking?
"You have all seen it! This is the honor, you should all think about it, think about your life, why Wang Wei has the honor now, and you can only do hard work here day and night, day after day, year after year, nothing has changed, but you have exhausted yourself. Today, I would like to take advantage of Wang Wei's happy event to say to you, parents should learn from Wang Jincai and his family, and take educating the next generation as the most important thing, instead of thinking about drinking a little wine and wearing a fake brand every day to numb their nerves and satisfy their vanity, which is wrong. On the issue of educating the next generation, we must carry forward the spirit inherent in our village that we are not afraid of hardship and tiredness, and we should make joint efforts to do a good job in the educational cause of our village, so that in a few years, the number of college students in the village will increase several times. Li Zhishu robbed today's protagonist alive, his speech was like a meeting, a bit nondescript, but this time everyone listened very seriously, there was no opposition to the following words, compared with the previous village committee, today is the most wonderful and successful speech of Li Zhishu, he really said to everyone's heart. Everyone understood what Li Zhishu said before, but before they saw the graduation certificate, they couldn't understand the weight of that piece of paper, but now they do.
"Don't stop, eat and drink. Wang Jincai felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to eat and drink, don't be cold because of the branch secretary's words, however, the branch secretary's words even moved him, the branch secretary said that it is not wrong at all, education is a major event that cannot be ignored, nor can it wait, to start from the baby, if he hadn't disciplined Wang Wei since he was a child, he would not have today's glory, let alone be praised by so many people, and regarded as an example for them to learn.
Now it seems that this is the most correct thing he has ever done in his life, Wang Wei is his most proud work, enough for him to enjoy a lifetime of glory, and be praised and imitated by later generations, of course, there are people who will try to surpass. All this was created by his own hands, and it can be said unceremoniously that Wang Wei's success is half of his credit, and without his correct guidance and wise decision, Wang Wei would not be where he is today. He and Wang Wei are like a ship and a lighthouse, he is a lighthouse on the shore, Wang Wei is a ship on the sea, and the safe and smooth landing of the ship is indispensable to the guidance of the lighthouse, if there is no lighthouse guidance, the ship may be lost in the depths of the sea, and will never be able to dock, let alone a ship full of stars.
Under Wang Jincai's persuasion, Li Zhishu picked up the wine glass and drank another glass, and the villagers also drank a glass, Li Zhishu's lecture was temporarily interrupted, Li Zhishu stopped talking, and the villagers were silent, even a few children standing at the door to watch the excitement did not dare to make a sound, and the whole courtyard was surprisingly quiet except for the sound of people drinking. It stands to reason that it is difficult to be cold on this occasion, but I didn't expect Li Zhishu's words to make everyone stop talking, Li Zhishu could have continued, but because Wang Jincai persuaded him to drink, he interrupted his speech, and he didn't know where to start talking for a while, and there had to be a topic to talk about!
The people in the village may not speak because what Li Zhishu said just now talked about their weakness, compared with Wang Jincai and his wife, they do not pay enough attention to the education of their children, and do not support their children to receive a better education, which is their fault as parents and their biggest mistake.
Li Zhishu criticized them rightly, as the old saying goes: "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about children", children are the future of a family, and also the future of the entire socialist country, so the issue of children's education cannot be ignored, and everyone should pay attention to it, not only the people in this village, but all corners of the entire Chinese land, and there is civilization if there are people.
"You guys may have opinions about my usual work, and I myself have something wrong to do, so I will accompany you here, but what I said today is from the bottom of my heart, it is a major event related to people's livelihood, and it is closely related to every family. I hope that today I can make you remember that from today onwards, you will re-understand the importance of knowledge and believe that knowledge can change your destiny. Li Zhishu drank a few glasses of wine and then continued, Li Zhishu was a little emotional today, and he was a little out of control, because he was also sorry for the father of his children, for various reasons, he did not fully support his children to learn more knowledge and receive a better education, this matter has always been a knot in his heart, and today seeing Wang Wei's success, the wound in his heart began to hurt again, so he did not just say these words to those villagers, but also to himself.
Li Zhishu was in a bad mood, so he drank a few more glasses of wine, which would be a little drunk, but he still spoke sonorously and powerfully, when he spoke, his body shook, as if he would fall at any time, Wang Jincai stood beside him and was ready to catch him at all times, and he couldn't let him fall. When Li Zhishu shook and spoke like this, the half-grown children standing at the door were secretly laughing, and Li Zhishu's appearance was a little funny, like a tumbler, no matter how he shook it, he wouldn't fall.
"You little rabbits, what are you laughing at, don't join in the fun here, hurry up and go home and do your homework, you all have to learn from Wang Wei, and you will be admitted to a good university in the future. Look at you, you know all day long that if you don't focus on studying, you will have something to do in the future. The children who were standing at the door and snickering were still discovered by Li Zhishu, and as soon as he finished educating their parents, these children hit the muzzle of the gun, and he went with the flow to educate these children.
"Hurry back, don't stand here, lest Li Zhishu want to educate you when he sees you. Li Juan took a plate of fruit candy and melon seeds and distributed them to the children who were standing at the door watching the excitement, and told them to disperse quickly, don't stand here, otherwise Li Zhishu will have to get angry with them.
Those children listened to Li Juan's words, laughed all the way with sugar and melon seeds, and shouted away, as if they were deliberately angry with Li Zhishu, Li Zhishu is supreme and supreme in the eyes of adults, but they don't care about these and deliberately oppose Li Zhishu.
"Don't stop, everyone, you must eat and drink well today, and no one is allowed to leave if you are not drunk. Wang Jincai persuaded everyone to drink again, he couldn't let everyone stop, the scene that should have been very lively became quiet because of Li Zhishu's words, and people didn't have the heart to drink. Today's Li Zhishu is like an alarm bell, waking up each of them, and like the first sunshine in May, it washes away the fog in their hearts, makes them suddenly realize and see the road in front of them. Usually they hate Li Zhishu's speech, but today Li Zhishu's words they listen very seriously, today Li Zhishu said all for their sake, and they must do it in the future, they will do according to what Li Zhishu said today, their road is bright, and it can be expected.
Li Zhishu was completely drunk, the villagers were almost drunk, people left one after another, Wang Jincai and Wang Wei sent them to the door, watched them go down the dirt slope at the door of their house and walked to the road, they came back, just like that, the villagers walked back and forth, and finally only the drunk Li Zhishu was left, Wang Wei sent him home alone, and after watching him sleep, Wang Wei walked slowly home. The sun has already reached the top of the mountain, and after a while, the sun will set, the sky will be dark, and the day is about to end, Wang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over, everything was going well, he didn't want to pay attention to what Li Zhishu said, those didn't mean anything to him.
When he got home, he helped Li Juan and his mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, helped his father put the table on the edge of the yard, it was late today, and it would be returned to others tomorrow, Li Juan ate at their house, and after eating, he sent Li Juan back, and he slept after coming back, and he was tired enough for the day.
