When it comes to work, Wang Peng is a little undecided. Fung Tianming came forward to act for him when he was just in Secondary 4 and won a place to work in the Commercial Bureau. In the early 90s, when the country was developing on a large scale, the urban construction system in various places needed a large number of construction talents. To say that the Commercial Bureau and the Urban Construction Bureau are both good units, but when he was about to graduate, Wang Peng had a new idea about the choice of work.

This has to start with his hometown of Shiquan Village. Three and a half years ago, in order to develop the economy of Shiquan, Quliu Township introduced the expansion project of Changfeng Pharmaceutical Factory, requisitioned part of Shiquan's farmland to build a factory, and began to be officially put into use two years ago. After the pharmaceutical factory was put into operation, not only was a large amount of odor discharged into the air every day, but also a large amount of sewage was discharged into the ditches of Shiquan Village, causing a large area of farmland in Shiquan Village to be harvested and livestock to die. In the past few years, although he has been in school, the people in the village have always regarded him as a capable person, and from time to time people come to the city to discuss with him, hoping that he can find a way to move the pharmaceutical factory out of Shiquan. Since last year, Wang Peng has been seeking explanations for the village through Zhang Donghai, a lawyer recommended by Dongzi.

Liu Fatzi knew that Feng Tianming had just met Wang Peng a few days ago, so he asked, "What did Feng Tianming say?" ”

Wang Peng took a sip of tea and said: "The Commercial Bureau has already asked the Personnel Bureau for the establishment of quotas, and it depends on where the school will send the files." ”

"Then why don't you go to Director Yan of the Student Affairs Department and tell him about it?" Jiang Haitao asked, "No matter how you say it, he is directly in charge of this matter." But the problem is that the URA wants you by name, and your own decision is the most important! ”

"That's what I said, but I'm really a little bit unsure of whether to stay here or go back to Quliu Township." Wang Peng said embarrassedly.

Liu Fatzi and the others were a little surprised, and Teng Yunfei asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to Quliu Township?" What can you do back there? Help the villagers renovate their houses? ”

Wang Peng laughed, "How can it." He poured tea for everyone before he said, "My mother was sick a few days ago, didn't I go back?" Not only is it no longer possible to farm in the village, but many people have died of the same cancer for most of the past six months. As you know, the villagers in the village have quarreled and made trouble, and the pharmaceutical factory has been open for a few years, and it has been petitioning for a few years, but the problem just can't be solved. So ......"

"So you want to go back and help them?" Jiang Haitao picked up Wang Peng's words and asked.

Wang Peng nodded and responded: "Shiquan is a native of me, looking at it now, you don't know, I really can't say the discomfort in my heart." Before I came to Ningcheng, the golden cow bang in the village was the place where our brothers often went to fish and catch shrimp, and now every time I go back...... Alas! ”

Wang Peng suddenly intercepted the conversation, and Liu Fatzi was the first to ask: "What's the matter now?" ”

Wang Peng took a sip of tea and continued, "It's a stinky water!" The water discharged from the medicine factory was more poisonous than the water from the Ningcheng silk factory, and wherever it flowed, the crops were dumped (note 1). ”

Teng Yunfei frowned and said, "This problem is getting more and more serious!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Wang Peng said.

Hao Sehui said: "But have you ever thought that this is not something you can solve when you go back?" If you want to provide legal help, there is lawyer Zhang. If you want to find someone to help you do the work on it, you can help them even more if you stay in Ningcheng! What's more, if you have a relationship with Feng Tianming, it shouldn't be difficult to get a good position in the business system in the future, right? Go back," he shook his head, "I don't think it's a good choice." ”

Wang Peng naturally knew that Hao Shihui was right, after four years of secondary school, he would have a good place to eat imperial food, and of course he understood what it meant to him to go back. But the thought of the people who died in the village, and the resentful expression of the old lady when she talked about this pharmaceutical factory, made him feel that if he didn't go back to do something, he would have a troubled conscience for the rest of his life.

Teng Yunfei snorted at this time: "Okay, okay, that's what the fourth child said, if you can't go back, you should always look at the school's distribution results." If you want to go back to Quliu Township, you have to be asked by others. ”

Dongzi kept watching Wang Peng not participate in the discussion, and he believed that Wang Peng's inner battle must be very strong. That time, it was he who accompanied Wang Peng back to the village to see Qin Ahua, if he hadn't been there at the scene, Dongzi would have persuaded Wang Peng to stay in Ningcheng and not go back like Teng Yunfei at this moment. But he saw with his own eyes the poisoned old elm tree at the entrance of Shiquan Village and a large area of abandoned farmland, and Wang Peng's sad expression at that time has always lingered in his mind. Therefore, he completely empathizes with Wang Peng's feelings at the moment, and Wang Peng's idea of going back to work really makes him admire.

A few days after the meeting, Wang Peng received a call from Feng Tianming, saying that he had communicated with the school and could basically confirm that he was going to work in the Commercial Bureau. Feng Tianming was so enthusiastic about arranging for him, he really didn't dare to say his hesitation except for thanking.

After Feng Tianming determined the specific direction for Wang Peng, he thought that the general matter had been decided, so he went to the province for a meeting. The results of the school's graduation assignment will not be announced until the end of July, and Wang Peng plans to go home after the graduation party in his class, and he will meet with lawyer Zhang Donghai before leaving.

For more than a year, Wang Peng often discussed the pollution of pharmaceutical factories with Zhang Donghai, and Zhang Donghai collected a lot of environmental protection laws and regulations for him, and asked him to take them back to study and then collect evidence, so that he, a secondary school student studying engineering, learned a lot of legal knowledge because of this matter. It was precisely through the study of the legal provisions that he came up with a set of methods to help the villagers of Shiquan Village seek justice in the lessons of the villagers' repeated failures in petitioning, and the civil compensation case in which the villagers of Shiquan Village collectively sued the pharmaceutical factory for trial was one of Wang Peng's series of measures. It is precisely because the trial is about to start that Wang Peng wants to have a specific chat with Zhang Donghai before going home, so as to get more advice.

Zhang Donghai is not only knowledgeable and thoughtful in his profession, and has never disappointed Wang Peng, but also often brings Wang Peng unexpected surprises in the maintenance of various contacts that are conducive to the advancement of the case trial. Sure enough, after Wang Peng explained his intentions, he suggested that Wang Peng go to the provincial capital with him to meet an old classmate of his before returning to Shiquan. Wang Peng readily agreed, and without any delay, the two went directly to the Provincial Academy of Environmental Sciences to meet Professor Jin Jun, a high school classmate of Zhang Donghai and a nationally renowned environmental expert. It was this Professor Jin who gave Wang Peng a lot of help in the future, of course, this is a later story.

After meeting with Jin Jun and leaving relevant information and listening to some suggestions from Jin Jun, Wang Peng and Zhang Donghai rushed back to Ningcheng together, began to pack up, and participated in the graduation dinner of the whole class. After a long period of busyness, on the day he returned to Shiquan, he bought a bottle of gun-fired (note 2) and some fruit and went to Shen Jianhua's house to thank the couple for taking care of him for the past four years.

It was the time when Lin Blind was arrested and fought on Beijing Road, after Shen Jianhua learned what happened, he thought of his daughter Shen Ting, who was slightly younger than Wang Peng, who usually came to reach out for food at home to open her mouth, but Wang Peng was already facing this complex society at his age, and it was inevitable that he felt pity for Wang Peng. Since then, he and his wife Mu Qinfang often let Wang Peng go to their home for dinner, and often bring him freshly cooked vegetables to school to eat, treating him as close as their own family.

Wang Peng still remembers that when he went to Shen Jianhua's house for dinner for the first time, it happened that Feng Tianming's brothers and sisters were there. At that time, he knew that Feng Tianming's brother and sister were Mu Qinfang's cousins, and Mu Qinfang's uncle Feng Qingshan was a cadre who went south, and he had not given birth after Ning Cheng married Feng Tianxiao's mother, so he adopted Feng Tianming, who knew that eleven years later, he suddenly became pregnant with Feng Tianxiao, which is why there is such a big age gap between the two brothers and sisters.

When I arrived at Shen Jianhua's house, it was Shen Ting who came to open the door.

"Brother Xiaopeng, why are you here?" Shen Ting stood at the door in an emerald green georgette dress, and the shyness and brightness of a seventeen-year-old girl who had just grown up was undoubtedly revealed in her, which made Wang Peng feel refreshed.

"I'm going home for a while, and I'm going to come and see you." Wang Peng raised the wine and fruit in his hand, "I'll hang with your father for a while (Note 3), the fruit is for you and your aunt to eat." ”

Shen Ting took the thing and whispered "thank you", then turned sideways and let Wang Peng into the house, "My dad is going to pick up my mom, I'm cooking, you sit in the living room by yourself for a while." ”

"You are becoming more and more sensible now, Uncle Shen used to always say that you come to stretch out your hands for clothes and open your mouth for food." Wang Peng followed up with the kitchen as he spoke, "I'll help you!" ”

Shen Ting blushed and pushed Wang Peng out, "Oh, you're a guest, let you come in to help, and my mother will come back and criticize me again." ”

Wang Peng saw that her slightly baby fat face was flushed, adding more and more touching brightness, and he was stupid. Just when they were stupidly forgetting to answer Shen Ting's words, Shen Jianhua and his wife pushed the door in, and finally woke up the dreamer, and also made Shen Ting, who was a little embarrassed and suddenly lost her response, come back to her senses and hid in the kitchen.

"Xiaopeng is here!" Mu Qinfang greeted Wang Peng warmly, "Are you going home with your luggage?" ”

Wang Peng hurriedly responded: "Yes, I want to go back to see you, thank you for helping me in the past four years!" ”

Shen Jianhua smiled and pointed to the wooden sofa and said, "Look at you, you've been thanking us for so long!" Have a seat. ”

"That's it!" Mu Qinfang echoed while taking the apron hanging behind the door, "Your parents are not around, we also treat you as our own children, and you are still polite to us!" I'll go see how Xiaoting's rice is doing, you can eat it here at noon! ”

"Hehe, you're welcome to do that!" Wang Peng laughed, revealing his white and neat teeth, "I just brought wine over to hang myself with Uncle Shen." ”

"That's good!" Before Xylophone Fang could finish speaking, she went into the kitchen.
