Section 5 Turning Points in Life
The so-called penny is difficult to defeat a hero! Maybe this is a scene, Shen Tong's uncle, who is currently supporting this family with all his might, for his younger brother to go to school, and for him to get married. After seeing his younger brother get married and have children and live a happy life, he also missed the age of marriage, and could only bear the loneliness silently alone. However, he had no complaints, no remorse, and the eldest brother was like a father, and he felt that this was his responsibility.
It's just that the younger brother who is bright enough to support this family passed away suddenly, and when he was past the prime of life, the sadness of the poor and the debts left to him, after all, made him feel that he was at a loss, and made him feel the darkness ahead.
Perhaps for him, that festive notice was the last straw that crushed him!
However, Shen Tong finally stepped into the door of the normal school, and the teachers of the school obviously did not want to miss out on a good student because of the tuition fee.
It's just that in that youthful season, in that laughing school, how can a person who can't even solve the problem of food and clothing study with peace of mind. When the classmates with a bright future were studying seriously with longing, Shen Tong, who was still worried about where the next meal would be, could only hold his stomach hard to prevent the terrible grunt. However, in this beautiful campus, he can always leave some cheerful memories, the teachers and classmates who help him from time to time, the rich and colorful cultural life, in his most difficult days, after all, brought a bright rainbow to his hazy sky, let him see the way forward in the dark days.
Three years later, when Shen Tong's classmates happily took their graduation certificates and happily took up their teaching positions, he could only take a copy of the graduation certificate given by the school teacher and embarked on the road of self-employment. The arrears of tuition fees for three years are as high as nearly 10,000 yuan, and it is already benevolent to have a copy in the end.
Shen Tong walked into the conscription physical examination unit in the second half of that year.
As the saying goes, a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail. However, for the children of poor families, being a soldier is also a good way out, at least for Shen Tong, it may be a good choice to go to the army to exercise.
Shen Tong couldn't forget the tears in his uncle's eyes before parting, and he couldn't forget the deep reluctance on his old face, however, he knew that he was an adult, and he should take over the burden of this family.
For ordinary people, the hard training and strict discipline of the military camp career are unbearable, but for Shen Tong, when he is well fed, his basic needs for survival can be solved, such a day is already a very happy thing. As for high-intensity training, it is nothing more than a kind of physical function hammering, and for children growing up in rural areas, it is natural to be able to accept it calmly.
After two years of training in the melting pot of the army, Shen Tong's thin body has become strong, and his internal and external personality has also changed somewhat.
But he was afraid of living a poor life, and after he returned to the place after being discharged from the army, he really couldn't bear the salary of two or three hundred yuan a month, so he did not go to work in the factory arranged by the retirement, but went to the city to work hard.
Shen Tong will always remember what happened that night, and he will always remember the day that occupied an important place in his life.
On the evening of April 27, 2005, with the good skills he had cultivated in the army, Shen Tong had become an employee of a security company at this time. It is said that it is a security company, but it is just another form of the underworld. In that era, the contradiction between demolition and refusal to demolish was particularly fierce in the changes of the city, and the dispute over gambling debts existed at any time. In such a world, this type of security company is particularly popular, and in this kind of company, if you can dare to fight and be ruthless, you will naturally get rich rewards.
That night, Shen and dozens of people from the company cleaned up a driving school's training ground, and a dispute broke out with the forced cleaning of the driving school's vehicles and facilities.
In the era when the laws and regulations of demolition and relocation were not standardized, the fights caused by forced demolition were innumerable, and that night did not avoid such a situation. In a scuffle, the security company's personnel were besieged by driving school instructors and mercenaries, and the people who were in a hurry lost their lives for a while, causing an even bigger riot. Seeing that the situation was not right, the security company personnel dared to stay any longer, and immediately fled in all directions.
In that case, Shen Tong, who was stabbed three times in the back, rushed out of the chaotic driving school and into a dark alley.
It was also on that night that he met Wang Ying, who had just gotten off work, and met this woman who changed the fate of his life.
Shen Tong, who had too many wounds on his body, lost too much blood and collapsed to the ground, and he could feel a strange girl helping him up. He saw the scene of the company's people killing people by mistake, and the remaining will made him keep saying "don't go to the hospital or something".
Can you imagine how a thin girl who is less than 1.6 meters tall moves this guy who weighs more than 100 pounds? Can you imagine the scene of such a weak girl returning to her rental house with a bloody person?
Shen Tong, who was lying on the chair, couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth when he thought back to the scene that had been circling in his mind all these years, and he had asked his wife countless times, "Didn't you feel scared at that time?"
Perhaps it is because the era is different and the environment is different, which also leads to the difference of people in this society.
To take the simplest example, in the past, when we met an elderly person who fell down on the road, we always had to help him. In the past, when I met some people who were in difficulty, most of them would try to help. But with the development of society and the continuous improvement of economic conditions, perhaps there have been changes in some things. It's like, do you still dare to help the old man who has fallen? Do you still dare to meddle in things?
Shen Tong's childhood life was unfortunate, but the era he lived in was lucky, when he was most difficult, and maybe even facing prison, this kind woman who passed by saved him, and then changed the fate of his life.
In that month's time, he just relied on other people's homes, and Wang Ying, who was busy with work every day, not only had to deal with work matters, but also took care of the person he picked up when he got home, not only to cook for him, but also to help him wash his clothes. Even her actions aroused the curiosity of the tenants next to her, I wonder when this little girl actually talked about friends?
In fact, it was only about a week, and the injuries on Shen Tong's back were almost healed. The weakness that night was only due to excessive blood loss, and the two of them, who didn't know the severity, actually survived on his own. And under Wang Ying's care, through some medical gauze and other things that she bought, there was no wound infection, which was simply lucky.
It's just that Shen Tong seems to have become obsessed with the feeling of being taken care of and cared for, even if the wound is healed, even if the body has almost recovered, he still has not left the consciousness. The embarrassing days when the two of them were crammed into a small dilapidated room that month, one sleeping on the bed and one sleeping on the ground, for them, may be the sweetest memory of this life.
When Shen Tongyuan told his situation without hiding anything, and cheekily said that he wanted to continue to live here, Wang Ying actually did not object.
Maybe she's too kind! A kind girl, when she hears about his miserable life, how can she bear to refuse him and hurt him again?
Ecstatic Shen Tong then began another transformation, at the age of 14, his grandfather's death made him change his previous decadence and began to study hard, and at the age of 21, he began another great change.
After the dry soul has been nourished, the vitality that bursts out is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
A long drought and a sweet rain, obviously refers to the current situation, originally a poor boy who seemed to be going to go one way to the black on the underworld, but in a blink of an eye began to embark on another road that seemed difficult but stable. Shen Tong, who calmed down, finally mustered up the courage to go to a decoration company as a salesman, and started his first serious job in his life, which actually earned far less than his previous job.
Two people live together strangely like this, and a wonderful love story begins unconsciously, far from being romantic and charming as imagined, but so tenacious and solid.
When Shen Tong stayed at the door of the owner's house for three months in order to make a single business, and when he accompanied the customer to drink until he almost vomited blood in order to make a single business, his hard work and persistence obviously became the key to his success. That kind of dedication to dreams and desire for success made him hit a wall again and again, and after failing again and again, he finally embarked on the road of success step by step, and became the manager of the department step by step, and became the most important executives of this company.
On the road of life, sometimes an inadvertent change may affect a person's life.
And in a person's life, there are always some people who can play a decisive role in the trajectory of your life.
Perhaps from the first moment he opened his eyes, that beautiful face left the deepest imprint on his heart! No matter at any time, he could never forget her smile and her every move.
