Su Mu sat quietly next to him, listening to Tang Wen's words, he knew that if Tang Wen didn't say these words, it was very likely that he would never have a chance to hear them again.

These are the last words of a father!

"Ke'er has always been very good at learning, and this is what I am most satisfied with. Other people's children have to study, but my Tang Wen's daughter knows what she is doing at school. Ke'er, you remember your father's words, if you want to get out of this mountain and live a good life, you have to study hard. Daddy doesn't want you to be on the back of a monkey when Daddy dies. Tang said slowly.

"Dad, I know that I will work hard!" Tang Ke choked up.

"County Magistrate Su, you should be no stranger to our family Ke'er. I also know that you are a good leader. When Montenegro was so poor, you paid out of your own pocket to buy books and pens for our children here, and you were good to us, we all saw it in our eyes and remembered it in our hearts. Although some things are not spoken, it does not mean that we do not understand. Tang Wen paused and continued.

"Brother Tang Wen, this is what I should do. And I can promise you now, as long as I, Su Mu, reign for one day, I will definitely bring Black Mountain Town out of poverty and let every family here live a good life. Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"I believe!" Tang Wen nodded, and when he looked at Tang Ke, a loving look suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Tang Ke, kneel down for County Magistrate Su!"

"Daddy?"

"Brother Tang Wen?"

Tang Ke and Su Mu couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what Tang Wen meant. If you have anything to say, you can say it explicitly. Why do you want to kneel? But Tang Wen was stubborn, and his face turned gloomy on the spot.

"Still on your knees?"

Poof!

Facing Tang Wen's fierce voice, Tang Ke did not hesitate any longer, after making sure that Tang Wen did not say the wrong thing. Immediately knelt down for Su Mu without thinking about it. This made Su Mu a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly stood up, wanting to help Tang Ke, and at the same time said urgently: "Brother Tang Wen, what do you mean by this?"

"County Magistrate Su, I know that you are a good person, but I really don't have a few days to live. I don't have a chance to pay back the medical bills I owe you in my life. Only let Tang Ke return it. But Tang Ke is only a student now, and I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability. So if you don't dislike it, let Tang Ke be your nanny after studying, when will you pay off your debts. When are you going to give her freedom. Tang said in a solemn voice.

"!"

Su Mu said coldly, anger surging on his face, "Tang Ke, you stand up for me!"

"I—" Tang Ke hesitated.

"What are you, you! I have forgotten what I told you before? A man has gold under his knees, why can't a woman beat a man? If you dare to kneel again. I'll get up and leave immediately!" Su Mu said coldly.

Facing Su Mu, who was full of emotion, Tang Ke never dared to continue to kneel, stood up obediently, and stood in front of the bed. Looking at Tang Wen, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Brother Tang Wen. I know what you mean. You don't have to worry about money things. You know, I don't care about the money. Not only do I not care, but I can also tell you that if you really have any strengths and weaknesses, Tang Ke will not become a loner. For I will continue to take care of her in your place until she is willing to leave me. Su Mu turned sideways and looked into Tang Ke's eyes.

"Tang Ke, are you willing to recognize me as an elder brother?"

Onslaught!

Tang Ke never dreamed that things would change like this, and Su Mu would recognize her as his godsister. You have to know what identity Su Mu is now, and what her identity is. One is a high-ranking deputy county magistrate, and the other is a poor girl from a poor family.

Now, Su Mu actually said that he wanted to recognize himself as his sister. If he hadn't heard this with his own ears, Tang Ke would have found it hard to believe that it was true. …,

"Ke'er, what are you still standing there stupidly for? Why don't you hurry up and thank your brother!" Tang Wen coughed and shouted anxiously.

"Ahh Brother!" Tang Ke instinctively shouted.

Until now, Tang Ke has not woken up from the shock, how could Su Mu become his brother for no reason, this is simply too unexpected.

"Ha Lu Ha!"

Tang Wen laughed loudly, "I didn't expect that I, Tang Wen, was dying, and I would be able to find a brother for Tang Ke." I'm going to have a few drinks of this great thing. Ke'er, don't stand stupidly, don't hurry up and cook. ”

"Okay!" Tang Ke turned to leave.

It wasn't until there were only three people left in the room that Tang Wen showed an apologetic smile at Su Mu, "County Magistrate Su, you are an extremely smart person, you should have guessed what I just said and asked Tang Ke to kneel down for you." That's right, I admit it, I'm trying to find a backer for Tang Ke.

If I die, leaving Tang Ke alone, how can she live? As long as Tang Ke can live happily, I will admit it even if I don't want to fight this old face. It's just that I didn't expect County Magistrate Su that you are really willing to accept Tang Ke. County Magistrate Su is my villain. ”

It turned out that Tang Wen said those words and made that arrangement, all for Tang Ke. As he said, if he can find a solid backer for Tang Ke, why not want his old face?

"Brother Tang Wen, don't worry, I like Tang Ke very much. She is a smart child, and I will take care of her future schooling, employment and other issues. Su Mu promised.

"I'm relieved to do that!" Tang Wen said with a sigh. As these words came out, his spirit was obviously much weaker than just now.

The things that I can't let go of in my heart have all been arranged, and Tang Wen really has nothing to regret.

"Daddy!"

It's just that Tang Wen didn't know what he was saying was that when he said these words, Tang Ke didn't go far, but next to the window. After hearing Tang Wen's words, her body began to tremble constantly, biting her lip desperately, forcing herself not to fall tears.

Tang Ke's idea is very simple, even if it is only for a few days, she doesn't want Tang Wen to be angry, she wants to send Tang Wen away happily.

Su Mu really didn't leave that night, so he stayed at Tang Wen's place for dinner, ate dinner, and waited until Tang Wen fell asleep. He called Tang Ke out.

"Tang Ke, you have heard your father's words. You take this money, I know that you are a girl with personality. But this money is not for you, it is for you to take care of your father for these days. Also, from today onwards, there is no need for you to be so polite to me. You should know that this is not charity, and I will not do that. Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"County Magistrate Su, my father is him..."

"Tang Ke, don't call me County Magistrate Su in the future. Have you forgotten that you are my sister now? Su Mu's face turned unhappy.

"Yes, brother!" Tang Ke said in a low voice.

"That's right. Su Mu smiled: "Wait until you have arranged everything, and then go back to school." During this time, I will temporarily deal with you ~~. ”

"Hmm!" Tang Ke nodded.

"Tang Ke, some things always have to be experienced, I know that you may be in a bad mood now, but you must know that your father doesn't want you to be depressed. Everything he does is for your good. If you let his efforts have no value, then you are sorry for him. I said that, you understand, right?" asked Su Mu.

"I won't let Daddy down, brother. I know what to do. Tang Ke said in a deep voice.

"That's good! I won't stay here tonight, and I'll be back to the county tomorrow. The next few days. If you have something, just call me. Su Mu said.

"Hmm!"

Su Mu said a few more words. So he and Du Lian got up and walked towards the town of Black Mountain. He has walked this road many times, and even if he closes his eyes, he will not go bad. …,

Tang Ke looked at Su Mu's gradually departing figure, holding the money Su Mu handed over to him with his small hand, and secretly made a vow in his heart that he would never change for the rest of his life.

Walking on the mountain trail, Su Mu lit a cigarette and handed it to Du Lian casually, and in the smoke rising, he spoke calmly.

"Isn't it strange, why do I have to promise Brother Tang Wen?"

"It's a little weird, but it's not weird anymore. Du Lian took the cigarette, but did not light it.

"For what?" asked Su Mu.

"County magistrate, I'm not afraid of you knowing, when I was first assigned to the county, I was very ignorant, I always think from my own point of view, sometimes I don't speak through my brain, and I am always self-righteous. If this were not the case, I would not have been taken down by County Magistrate Zhang and lost the cold bench for a year.

This year's cold bench time has made me know a lot of things and think a lot. I understand that if you want to survive in this system, you have to compromise. Blindly high-profile, blindly self-oriented, will be the most terrifying. Maybe one day, it will destroy you.

It was Director Wu who gave me this opportunity, and I cherish it. I am most fortunate to be able to follow the county magistrate and learn some things. It's not strange for you to ask me what I am doing, but the reason is very simple, because I have followed you, county magistrate, and what I have seen and heard in this town of Montenegro has already told me how much effort you have put into this land.

And your hard work is in exchange for the respect of everyone here, and I can feel their respect for you from the eyes of those people on the back of the monkey. A county magistrate who can make these people respect, there is nothing strange about agreeing to Tang Wen. County magistrate, I'm not patting you on the back, I just want to tell you that if you give me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it, and I will never let you down, county magistrate. ”

Du Lian's words were well thought out, and if Su Mu hadn't asked him, he wouldn't have said them. But since he asked, Du Lian was not prepared to hesitate. He knew that his status was very embarrassing now, and he had not yet been fully recognized by Su Mu. These words are not only a true portrayal of his heart, but also a statement he made to Su Mu.

There is something that Du Lian actually didn't say, that is, this is the first time he has said these words to Su Mu, showing his attitude, and it is also the last time he said it. From tonight onwards, Du Lian will only do in his life, prove himself with the most authentic actions, and will not say it again.

Su Mu listened to Du Lian's somewhat bullish answer, and did not point out anything wrong, but smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Smoke!"

It was these two words that made Du Lian's hanging heart finally fall completely. He knew that from this moment on, Su Mu recognized himself. This recognition is completely different from the previous affirmation, and it has extraordinary significance.

With absolute perseverance, Du Lian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and lit the cigarette. His fingers trembled slightly, and he put it to his mouth and sucked it hard.

This smoke is really exciting!

In the night, two figures, two cigarettes, walked unhurriedly.
