"Even if you're a miner, even if you've worked hard in the mines, are you entitled to the money? How many miners do you have in the mines, they just didn't become mine managers, and if you want to be qualified, they are also eligible for this money, right? Qin Hai retorted without giving an inch.

Previously, Qin Hai also wanted to pay attention to the skills of conversation, but when he heard Sha Renyuan's reason, he couldn't help but feel a little hot-headed, and he couldn't control it with one mouth. When these words came out, he also secretly screamed in his heart, and he seemed to be too straightforward.

Sha Renyuan was choked by Qin Hai's words, and he was speechless for a while. He reached out and picked up the flask, poured himself another glass of wine, and when the glass came to his lips, he stopped, took only half a sip, and then said leisurely, "Young man, let me tell you a story." ”

"Please." Qin Hai said.

Sha Renyuan said: "That was almost thirty years ago...... I can't remember any of the things. To put it simply, we are building a mine, and there is a roofing accident in one of the roadways, and the coal seam that collapsed is very thick, blocking all the openings out of the roadway. At that time, there was a 14-person mining team working in the roadway, and the team was still alive when the roof took place, but they could not hold out until the day when the coal seam was dug up by outsiders. ”

"And then?" Qin Hai asked casually. What Sha Renyuan said was not enough to shock him, not because he was hard-hearted, but because coal mine accidents were not a rare thing in those days.

"The leader of the mining team, everyone calls him Lao Xingtou, is an experienced old miner. He remembers that next to this roadway, there were several old roadways that had been dug by the Japanese in the past when they were mining. If they can dig through the stone walls and find the old tunnels, the group will have a chance to escape alive. Sha Renyuan continued.

"So. Did they find those old lanes? Qin Hai was attracted by Sha Renyuan's story and couldn't help but ask.

"Found it." Sha Renyuan said, "Old Xingtou is like a gopher, he can smell where the alley is with his nose. He led the entire group of people, relying on the little dry food, to chisel through a dozen stone walls. Finally, an abandoned air outlet was found. ”

"So, everybody is saved?" Qin Hai asked.

"Nope." Sha Renyuan shook his head and said sadly: "Because there is not enough food, it is heavy physical work to chisel through the stone wall, and it consumes a lot. The miners' bodies couldn't stand it, they ...... One by one, they fell in those alleys. When the outlet was finally found, among the 14 people, only Lao Xing Tou and the youngest miner remained. The youngest miner survived because everyone thought he was too young. refused to let him do the heaviest work, which saved his physical strength, that is, everyone saved his life with their own lives. ”

"What about the last?" Qin Hai's heart was beating with slams, and he was finally moved by this tragic story.

At the end of the day, Lao Xing's head fell under the air outlet, before he died. He said to the youngest miner...... He said, "Xiaosha, you are the youngest. You can't die until you have a family. You have a flexible brain, and you will definitely be able to become a cadre in the future, and our families and children are all counting on you to take care of them. When Sha Renyuan said this, tears dripped down his eyes.

Qin Hai was sluggish again. You can also hear that the "Xiaosha" in the story is the sand mine manager in front of him, he said that his mine manager also took his life in exchange for the mine, if you want to dig deeper, this is not only his own life, but also the lives of thirteen miners, including Lao Xingtou.

"Old Xingtou. What a good person, and it's a good amount of alcohol, like this little brother, no matter how you drink, you won't get drunk. In this life, I will take him the amount of alcohol alone, but it's a pity that ......" Sha Renyuan couldn't say it anymore, raised his hand, and spilled all the wine in the cup that he had only taken a sip on the ground.

Qin Hai was silent, he vaguely guessed something, but he didn't dare to believe it, just quietly waited for Sha Renyuan to reveal the mystery to him.

"I survived." Sha Renyuan said, "Relying on my own efforts, I slowly became a squad leader, foreman, and mine manager. I never got married, and my 13 eldest brothers left behind 13 sisters-in-law and 20 children, and I took care of them as if I were my own sister-in-law, mother, and children. To this day, those children of that year have also married and had children. Lao Xingtou's grandson is 22 years old this year, and he came to me last time and said: Grandpa Sha, I want to go down the well. I gave him a big ear scraper on the spot. ”

"For what?" Qin Hai asked.

"For what? If you go down the well, this life is not your own. Old Xingtou, they threw their lives into the well, can I let their children and grandchildren take this risk again? Sha Renyuan said with a glare.

Kuroko interjected: "Then why do they want to go down the well?" ”

"You can get more money when you go down the well." Sha Renyuan sighed, "I have arranged for the children and grandchildren of these 13 big brothers to be outside the well. The safety outside the well is safe, but the salary is much lower than going down. The coal mine belongs to the state, and the salary is not something I can say. When they were young, I earned money alone to support their 13 families. But now that they are 20 big families, how can I make up for it. Besides, they are all decades old, how can they let Uncle Sha take their salary to subsidize them again? ”

"So, what ...... money you want" Qin Hai hesitated, not saying his conjecture.

Sha Renyuan said: "You guessed right, I want this 200,000 yuan, just to give it to these children." I thought about it, 10,000 yuan for a family, enough for them to live a relaxed and relaxed life. Now young people have to talk about pomp and circumstance when they get married, and with the money that their grandfather Sha prepared for them, these children should be able to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law. So that when I go to heaven to see those old brothers, I will be able to have an explanation. ”

"So you want the deal to be safe and private." Qin Hai understood, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say. The previous disgust for Sha Renyuan is now gone, and all that remains is endless sadness.

"Sand ...... Sand Mine Chief, we can all understand your feelings. However, isn't it a bit risky for you to do this? You're still in your seat anyway. Why don't you divide it in phases and batches, and each time it is a little less? Liu Ziwen stumbled and suggested. He was originally a timid person, and he was a little wary of Sha Renyuan's approach. Now that I heard that the inside story was like this, I had a little more respect for Sha Renyuan out of thin air, so I planned to get up for him.

Sha Renyuan said sadly: "There is no time, last month." I found out ......, forget it, you don't need to know these things. You all know what I think, okay or not, you can give me a word. ”

"This ......" Qin Hai was stunned.

The reason Sha Renyuan said made Qin Hai really unable to refuse. But Qin Hai was also a little apprehensive about giving such a high rebate all of a sudden, after all, this was not a matter of a few packs of cigarettes and a few bottles of wine, but a full 200,000 yuan. That amount was appalling in those days.

"Sand Mine Chief, I don't think you're right." The sunspot who was brought by Qin Hai as a humanoid wine barrel suddenly interjected, which made Qin Hai stunned for a moment.

Sha Renyuan turned his head, squinted at Kuroko, and sneered: "Young man, what do you say is wrong with my thoughts? ”

"Sand Mine Chief, I'll tell you a story too, okay?" Kuroko said unhurriedly. He really deserved to let go of loan sharks in Pingyuan County, and he really looked a little calm at a critical time.

Sha Renyuan smiled dumbly: "Okay." Young man, I would like to hear your story. ”

Kuroko said: "My story is not very far away, that is, three days ago. I happened to be playing billiards with a few people on the street outside your Jianxing mine, and I saw a young man with a shaved head gambling with others at the table next to me. I remember he said, 'My grandfather Sha is the mine manager, can I still rely on your money?'" I didn't understand that at the time. Now I understand that he must be the grandchild of the 13 miners you mentioned, right? ”

"Temo's, this must be the kid in Wang's second family, this kid hasn't studied well since he was a child!" Sha Renyuan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and scolded.

Kuroko finishes telling the story. He didn't say anything anymore, but just gave Qin Hai a look, meaning that he wouldn't tell any big truths, and the rest would be handed over to Qin Hai. These days, Qin Hai sent Heizi to hang around several coal mines in Quwu to inquire about the relevant news, but he didn't expect to accidentally run into a young man covered by Sha Renyuan.

Kuroko himself is a child of a cadre family, and he also has the experience of stumbling in society, so he is extremely sensitive to this kind of thing. When he told this story at this time, he obviously sent Qin Hai a very good rhetoric.

Qin Hai took Heizi's words knowingly, and said to Sha Renyuan: "Sand Mine Chief, this story told by Xiao Fu is very inspiring. You can get money for these kids, but can you keep them for the rest of your life? If these children don't fight for themselves, and you give them so much money, I'm afraid that you will not help them, but harm them. ”

"Alas!" Sha Renyuan patted his head and said in frustration: "The most dereliction of duty I am that I didn't take care of these children. They don't have elders to discipline them at home, and as a mine manager, I don't usually have much time to take care of them. Outcome...... In this situation, I also know that among these children, there are really few who are angry, and most of them ...... They are all embarrassing to their grandfather. ”

As early as when Kuroko finished telling that story, Qin Hai already had a good idea. Seeing that Sha Renyuan's mind was floating, he said: "Sand mine chief, as the old saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Instead of giving money to these kids, why don't you give them a chance to earn money? ”

"What opportunity to make money?" Sha Renyuan's eyes lit up, and he vaguely saw some new hope. (To be continued......)

PS: The story of the laneway is based on Sun Shaoshan's short story "Eight Hundred Meters Deep", and I would like to express my gratitude here. Regarding the story of these two chapters, Orange does not want to make moral judgments, but just wants to say that this is society, and it cannot be summed up by a simple sentence of right or wrong.

This week's update is a little unstable, and Orange is trying to adjust, so please see Orange's actions.

After that, he timidly asked: Can you enjoy a few monthly passes? Orange will find a way to add more to thank you.
