CHAPTER XXIV

Mr. Zhang is a math teacher at Erwa Primary School, and he found Erwa and wanted to dig gold in the place where Erwa sold one or two more segments. After discussing with Brother Zhang, Erwa felt that it was okay, and everyone would earn money together. Besides, Erwa doesn't have much hope for his own survival, since Mr. Zhang has that fortune, let him dig it.

On this day, Sanmao told Erwa: The road from the county seat to our township is going to be repaired, and it is said that it is still a provincial road. Since it is a provincial road, it must be widened to a certain extent. I don't understand these two babies, but the speaker has no intention of listening, and Brother Zhang next to him can keep this matter in mind. Afterwards, she told Erwa that I am an expert in road construction, as long as there is a relationship and I can win this project, I will definitely make a lot of money.

When Erwa heard Brother Zhang say this, she suddenly remembered Teacher Zhang, didn't he have some relative in the Transportation Bureau? Look for him, maybe it will work.

Mr. Zhang bought someone else's second-hand house on the street, which is quite big. The second baby went to Teacher Zhang's house for the first time and taught her own teacher, so she naturally wanted to buy some gifts.

Mr. Zhang's daughter-in-law is from the county, she is very beautiful and hospitable, and everyone is called Xiu'er. Seeing Erwa and Brother Zhang coming to the door, it was a warm hospitality, and Mr. Zhang was in a good mood when he had money, and he was very happy with a smile and handed over tea and water.

According to Mr. Zhang, a deputy director of the Transportation Bureau happened to be his daughter-in-law's brother. Mr. Zhang understands very well that even if people don't look for themselves, they can get things done by themselves with the current strength of the second child, and finding themselves is to have a matchmaker, and it is easier to get on the road.

But Mr. Zhang is not an intellectual, and his brain is very good. He suddenly felt that this was also an opportunity for himself. She proposed to Erwa that I would take the bridge and run the route, but it was done, and I repaired this route for three people, and the investment and income were thirty-one.

Erwa and Brother Zhang glanced at each other and felt that this request was not too much. Besides, this is a section of highway construction that is close to 300 miles, and it is not easy to win the general contract, so it is a good thing to take it, and then subcontract it out and other matters.

So the three of them began to plan how to win the general contracting right of the project, and the gift was certain, and it was not good if it was missing. So how much is it to give? The three of them didn't count it in their hearts.

Teacher Zhang said that my daughter-in-law must be used in this matter, and let her go to find out her brother's tone first, and then it is better to have a target than to act rashly, and the chance of winning is greater.

Since Brother Zhang is a major in engineering, the three of them felt that Brother Zhang would accompany Mr. Zhang's daughter-in-law to go together in order to better understand the first-hand information.

It is always so coincidental that Brother Xiu'er happens to be the person in charge of the county seat to Qiu Yuanba Township. At first, Brother Xiu'er was a little skeptical about Mr. Zhang's ability, but when he heard that there were two children to contract together, he was a little happy. There are a few units in the whole county that don't know the head of the second baby? Do you know how many people in charge have not enjoyed the favor of the second baby?

In the end, Brother Zhang understood the basic meaning: for his sister's sake, this matter can be considered, although it is now being tendered, it is not a matter of his own words, but the benefit fee is definitely not good if there is no one million.

Brother Zhang didn't dare to make his own decision, the purpose of the trip had been achieved, and he and Xiu'er rushed home that day.

One million, for such a big project, it is just a decimal, this Brother Zhang knows it very well in his heart.

Everything can't be delayed, and the next day, Erwa and Teacher Zhang brought 1 million cash to the director's house and took the general contracting power of the highway in their hands.

Erwa has several slots that are about to be dug up, and the machinery is immediately in a state of shutdown. As soon as the highway is constructed, the machinery will be used, and Brother Zhang can devote all his energy to highway construction.

If the general contracting right is won, you need to find some small contract foremen to contract. Because they have some ready-made equipment, they have to keep a section to repair themselves. In this way, the benefits are maximized, and the second is that the project progress is large, which can ensure that it is completed on schedule.

Brother Zhang is really an insider, and arranged the entire project in a reasonable and orderly manner, and started as scheduled according to the original plan.

Brother Zhang inspected and supervised the construction up and down every day, and the whole person could only go home after dark almost every day. Both Erwa and Teacher Zhang saw this in their eyes, and they both felt that Brother Zhang was a highly professional and conscientious and responsible person, and they couldn't help but add a little respect to him.

Xiu'er cooks a good dish, and she is also skillful, which Teacher Zhang is very satisfied with, and often praises her daughter-in-law. This makes Erwa and Brother Zhang sometimes a little jealous, but this is all good-natured jealousy, because they often go to Teacher Zhang's house to eat Xiu'er's fried dishes, and then the three of them drink some wine together. Erwa almost forgot that Teacher Zhang had been a teacher for herself, and Teacher Zhang seemed to have forgotten that Erwa was once her student, and the three of them talked and laughed, and there were almost no taboos and nothing that should not be said.

Sometimes Xiu'er also sits next to him for a drink, listening to them talk about business and gossip, he feels that these three men have similar personalities and temperaments, speak to each other modestly, grasp the proportion very well, and appear very comfortable together.

But no one would have thought that this comfortable scene would not last long, and it would be interrupted forever on the way back from a car trip to the county seat with Mr. Zhang and two workers......

The section of the road they built themselves connected to the county seat, and it was also the longest section, and it happened that Zhang Di went to the subcontracted section to check that the construction was not there. There was a bulldozer at the construction site that broke down, and there was a lack of parts that needed to be purchased in the county, and it rained lightly when I didn't expect to come back. The road surface that had been run over by large machines was uneven, and the road surface was a little slippery due to light rain.

At a small dirt bag turn, the brakes failed, and the front of the car slid straight to the curb. Seeing that he was about to get on a stone on the side of the road, Mr. Zhang slammed the steering wheel in a hurry, but unexpectedly, the front of the car rushed out of the road like a wild horse that had taken off the reins. In an instant, the car was plunging over the mound of dirt and the grass on the side of the road into the river several feet high. As the rear car glass was fully opened, the two workers swam out, and Mr. Zhang, who couldn't know how to water, closed his eyes forever......

No one would have thought that things would be like this! If there is an expectation, Mr. Zhang will not go to the county seat; If there is an expectation, Mr. Zhang can come back on a sunny day; If there is an expectation, Brother Zhang will definitely go to the county seat instead; If there is an expectation, Xiu'er will definitely not let Teacher Zhang go to the construction site; If......

But everything is just if, Mr. Zhang disappears from everyone's memory forever! Erwa can't believe it, Brother Zhang can't believe it, and Xiu'er can't believe it, but this is indeed a fact!

Erwa and Brother Zhang are deeply blaming themselves, although they are both bosses, and work is their own work, but after all, Teacher Zhang is paying for his life, what is more expensive than this?! ……

Whenever Erwa and Brother Zhang went to visit Xiu'er, they could always see her looking in one direction alone, her eyes were red, and her face was much thinner. She saw the two babies coming over with a bag of things, and they didn't move their bodies, but nodded, which was a greeting.

Erwa and Brother Zhang found a stool and sat down by themselves and looked at each other.

Sister-in-law, pay attention to your body. Brother Zhang spoke first. In fact, Xiu'er is a few months older than Brother Zhang, and calling her sister-in-law is a sign of respect.

Xiu'er has an 8-year-old girl, the child is very sensible, she misses her father very much, but whenever she sees her mother so sad, she must miss her father more than herself, so she doesn't cry or make trouble, and sometimes helps her mother do some small work.

At this time, the baby had just finished school, and when she entered the door, she saw Erwa and Brother Zhang, called uncle, and went into her own house and did not come out again. Xiu'er said: The baby went to do her homework, and sometimes she cried secretly, the baby was very pitiful, and she couldn't help but fall back into her tears.

Brother Zhang's wife has died of illness for several years, and he has not left a man and a woman. He likes the baby very much, and when he sees that Xiu'er and his son will be lonely in the future, he feels very uncomfortable, and his eyes can't help but be a little sour......

He entered the room and saw the child silently taking out his homework from his schoolbag and listlessly spreading the books on the small desk in front of him. Brother Zhang swallowed back when the words came to his mouth, and he didn't know how to comfort the little guy.

Erwa and Brother Zhang went out of Teacher Zhang's house, and they were silent, and neither of them knew what to say.

The second baby felt that something was blocked in her heart, and she was lost? Confused? Or is it inexplicably agitated? From the first day of gold digging to the present, although he didn't think about how many people died around him, but one day, he didn't seem to believe in his own future, the ethereal future made him sometimes not as firm as he used to be, and he always felt that there was an invisible force controlling his will.

Now I look back and think about how I have come over the years, and what faith do I rely on? He couldn't even tell. It doesn't seem to have too many scruples and ideas, just to make money, to get rich, to get ahead, it's as simple as that. It was such a simple thought that he has survived until now, and will continue to do so. In this process, no self-esteem, any morality, or conscience seem to be particularly important, and there doesn't seem to be much remorse and uneasiness for this. But now it didn't seem the same, and he felt a little uneasy. Is it because you have money and are worth differently? Or do you have a home of your own and are about to have children? Or is his parents gone, and the sadness has made him a little timid? He couldn't answer himself,
