Chen Qingdong listened to Chen Feng's words, and he was also quite touched, and was silent.

Chen Feng said that he was too stupid and naïve, how could he not be like this in the past?

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little silent, awkward and depressing.

Chen Qingdong opened his mouth to break the silence and said, "Teacher Chen, it seems that you have already figured out some things. ”

Chen Feng said: "Yes, I didn't learn anything to teach during this time, my wife and children went back to my parents' house, I was at home every day, I thought about these things, I thought about them, and finally figured out all those things." In fact, it was just a thin layer of window paper, but I couldn't figure it out in my previous mind, and I felt as if I couldn't continue to be a private teacher, so I couldn't live. But then in the middle of the night, I suddenly figured it out and pierced this layer of window paper, and everything changed. ”

When Chen Qingdong heard Chen Feng say this, he was secretly happy in his heart, because he understood that now that Chen Feng had opened the layer of window paper, he would definitely not be obsessed with the identity of a private teacher anymore, let alone go to petition for this matter, delaying time and energy.

"Teacher Chen, congratulations. Chen Qingdong said sincerely.

"Thank you. Chen Feng also said sincerely, "Qingdong, in fact, I can figure it out, and I want to thank you, I have pondered the words you said to me last time, and this has a lot to do with my ability to figure it out later." ”

Chen Qingdong laughed: "Teacher Chen is really awarded, my words are just throwing bricks and stones, but it is a great thing that Teacher Chen can figure it out." That's what this world is, and what is so important that you can't live without it? If you don't have a dry road, you go by water, and all roads lead to Rome, right?"

Chen Feng nodded and said: "Qingdong, you are very right, it's just that I used to know this sentence, and I often taught my students in class to use this sentence in their compositions to add color to the article, but when it was really used on myself, it was like entering a blind spot, hehe, it's really ridiculous to say." ”

"This is not knowing the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. Chen Qingdong smiled, but his tone changed, and he said, "Teacher Chen, I told you something, and I hope you don't get angry." ”

"Qingdong, you say. ”

Chen Qingdong quickly made a sentence in his mind before he said: "Teacher Chen, it is said that you have figured it out now, and you should no longer be troubled by the identity of a private teacher, but Mayor Hao told me that you are still petitioning for this matter...... Hehe, Mr. Chen, in fact, I came here this time, and it was Mayor Hao who asked me to come over to persuade Mr. Chen. Although Mayor Hao lied to you last time, in fact, Mayor Hao is not bad in nature, in fact, Mayor Hao has made efforts in many things. But Mr. Chen, you also know that now it is a unified leader, and there are some things that Mayor Hao said does not count. ”

Chen Feng patiently listened to Chen Qingdong's words before he smiled slightly and said bluntly: "Qingdong, I also know that Secretary Wei said that no matter what, we can't give a few of our leading troublemakers to resume work, and this matter actually has little to do with Mayor Hao." Now I also know that with Secretary Wei's character, since he said such a thing, it should not have any effect whether we are petitioning or doing other work, so I am not ready to petition at all. ”

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh after listening to Chen Feng's words, Chen Feng deserved to be a people's teacher, and his quality was indeed very high, Wei Hailong smashed his job, and it was in such a domineering and unreasonable way, and Hao Shuyong blatantly deceived him, but when Chen Feng mentioned Wei Hailong and Hao Shuyong, he didn't call them by name, but still called them "Secretary Wei, Mayor Hao", and his tone was so plain, as if he was talking about something that happened to someone else, it was obviously not easy.

And since Chen Feng can say this, it seems that Chen Feng has really seen through these things, rather than pretending to be profound.

However, Chen Qingdong was also a little puzzled and said: "It turns out that Mayor Hao said that Mr. Chen is going to petition, which is false. ”

Chen Feng shook his head slightly, and said, "This matter is not fake. ”

"Oh, what do you mean?" Chen Qingdong was surprised and asked, "Teacher Chen, even if you see it through, but you still have to petition?"

Chen Feng shook his head slightly, and said, "Actually, what I mean is that I am not ready to petition at all." However, Qingdong, you must also remember that the last time we petitioned, in fact, in addition to me, there was also an initiator. ”

Chen Qingdong said: "Yes, it's Yan Minglei from the former Agricultural Office. ”

"Yes, that's him. Chen Feng smiled bitterly, "Although I have figured it out now, but Ming Lei has not figured it out yet, I have to petition for his legitimate rights and interests, I persuaded him several times, but it has no effect, he still insists on petitioning." The two of us made the petition at the beginning, but in fact, it was I who proposed it at the beginning, and Ming Lei was the first person to respond positively and do work everywhere. Now, everyone else has resumed their work, just me and Minglei. Although I don't want to petition anymore, I can't leave Ming Lei alone. Therefore, since Ming Lei wants to petition, I still have to follow along. ”

Chen Qingdong understood what Chen Feng meant, and it turned out that only Yan Minglei was going to petition now.

Chen Feng then said: "Qingdong, I know that your lover and my brother are colleagues, and my brother has also told me a few times, you are a good person, and I also trust you very much, so I said this to you, so I hope you don't reveal these words, if you let Ming Lei hear these words, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see him again in the future." ”

Chen Qingdong understood Chen Feng's mood very well, so he said: "Teacher Chen, don't worry, I will never say these words." ”

"Well, I believe you. Chen Feng said.

Chen Qingdong picked up the cup and drank two sips of water, and asked with some curiosity: "Teacher Chen, take the liberty of asking, what are your plans in the future?"

Chen Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go find a job first." After all, I am also a scholar, and I haven't done much farm work in these years, so it's enough to go to farming now, and I'm not in good health, so I'm afraid I'm not suitable for long-term farm work. Let's go out and have a look, find a job first, eat with a mouthful of food, and then make plans later. ”

After saying this, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Qingdong, you may not believe it, in addition to the four walls of my house, even the rice in the pot is only three or four catties, and the vegetables are only half a jar of pickles, and there is no money left." You came specifically for me today, and I heard my brother say that when he was hospitalized last time, you went to see him with a gift, but he hasn't found a chance to return the gift, so I should have stayed for a meal anyway today, but in this situation, I'm really embarrassed to let you stay for dinner. ”

Chen Qingdong was very shocked when he heard this, he really didn't expect Chen Feng's family to be poor and become such a situation, now Chen Feng is so polite and enthusiastic, Chen Qingdong also regrets that he didn't bring any gifts before coming here.

Looking at Chen Feng's eager gaze, Chen Qingdong understood that the only reason why Chen Feng could maintain this calmness in such a difficult family situation was his strong self-esteem, which often flashed in traditional Chinese literati!

Such a person may have no money, no official position, no shelter, no food, and even no family, but he must not have this kind of self-esteem, because this is the only belief that sustains him in this miserable world.

And such a person also hopes to be respected by others!

And if he is willing to stay and have a meal with him today, Chen Feng will definitely be very happy.

So Chen Qingdong's heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile: "Teacher Chen, if you don't mind me sharing a bowl of rice with you, then I will stay today, let's drink soup and eat pickles, don't have a taste!"

Chen Feng's eyes lit up and said, "Qingdong, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. Chen Qingdong said with a smile, "A manly man, never speak." ”

Chen Feng was amused by Chen Qingdong's unconventional words, then stood up excitedly and said, "I'll go and clean my kitchen again, maybe there are a few eggs, Qingdong, you wait, let's talk after dinner." ”

Chen Qingdong didn't stop him and said, "Okay." ”

"Okay, okay, Qingdong, you sit down and drink tea first, wait a while, I'll be fine soon." Chen Feng said as he walked out excitedly.

Looking at Chen Feng's back, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh softly!

Chen Feng is a relatively educated and high-quality person in Shuangshan Town, and he used to do the glorious job of a people's teacher, but now he is so down-and-out that he has lost his job, his wife and children have left home and never returned, and his family is surrounded by walls, and even the food for his stomach is not enough, but also because he does not dislike his family's coarse tea and light rice, and is willing to stay and eat a meal and be happy to be like this!

I really don't know, is this Chen Feng's sorrow, or the sorrow of this society!

Fortunately, Chen Feng has figured it out now, and he is about to change his life, and his life should be different in the future!

Chen Qingdong knew that although he was just drinking soup and eating pickles with Chen Feng here, with Chen Feng's character, he would definitely not entertain himself so simply, and just now he said to find eggs, which is proof. But with the situation of Chen Feng's family, let alone making a table of wine and food, even if it is to make four of the simplest appetizers, I am afraid it will be difficult to do.

So Chen Qingdong wanted to go to the small shop outside to buy some cooked food and buy two bottles of wine.

However, Chen Qingdong thought about it and gave up, if he really went to buy something and came back, it would be more abundant, but I was afraid that Chen Feng would be unhappy.

Okay, let's follow Chen Feng's meaning today, he will eat whatever he prepares, and find an opportunity to help Chen Feng in the future.
