Chapter 25: Ambition, Anger, Anger!
In the living room of the hall, Li Bin stood up with an excited expression and said excitedly to the old men and people outside: "This is really great news! We all have to have a good drink today! My nephew Li Bin is the champion of liberal arts in Linguan City in this year's college entrance examination, and he may be the champion of the whole province! Tomorrow, tomorrow I will have a treat and hold a celebration banquet for my nephew at the Dongyun Restaurant in the city, everyone will go!"
Everyone immediately happily agreed, such a good thing, how to celebrate. As a relative, all of them also felt light on their faces - when they turned around and chatted with their neighbors, they could proudly say to them: "Hey, do you know? Wen Shuo, the top student in this year's college entrance examination in Linguan City, is my relative!"
In the aisle, except for Feng Chunmei, who couldn't get back in shock and still felt that she was dreaming, everyone was already chatting excitedly, and some people went into the kitchen to talk about Wen Shuo with Li Xiang and Li Qin.
In the past, in the discussions of the elders, that person was fat, flamboyant, cunning, unstable and easy to brag, with average academic performance, often fighting and causing trouble, usually picking up rags and collecting waste, and shameless and unproductive...... In short, Wen Shuo, who is not good anywhere, suddenly seems to have all the previous shortcomings into advantages.
Li Congwen stood at the bottom of the gatehouse, looking at the sky at a forty-five degree angle with a look of adoration, and muttered to himself: "Damn, cousin, you are my idol, you are really worthy of the name of a middle school and a brother, you can play everything so high?!"
At this moment, Feng Chunmei suddenly got up, and in everyone's surprised eyes, walked quickly to the street with a straight face, took out the car keys and drove away.
Inside the house, the pot immediately exploded.
Everyone can understand Feng Chunmei's current mood, she must be annoyed and angry, embarrassed and don't know how to end, and she has no face to stay any longer. However, it was all their relatives who came to the meeting as guests, so they left angrily......
Don't take your relatives too seriously, do you?
Li Bin stomped his feet angrily and said, "Don't bother with her......! It just so happened that she drove the car away, and I could still drink openly, and drink the wedding wine of my good nephew who was admitted to the champion Lang!" As if remembering something, Li Bin waved his hand and ordered: "Congwen, Zhiqiang, you two will drive a motorcycle to find Wen Shuo now and pick him up for me!"
"Alright!"
Li Congwen and Li Xiang's son Hu Zhiqiang immediately agreed.
"Remember to tell him that in the future, he will collect waste and pick up the rags, where can Zhuang Yuanlang do such dirty work?" Li Bin patted his chest and shouted with a rich face: "Let him not worry about the money for college, with my uncle!"
......
When Hu Zhiqiang and Li Congwen found Wen Shuo, this guy was standing in a pile of masonry rubble, sweating with a hammer, smashing hard against the broken hollow slabs, because the hollow slabs of this kind of concrete were filled with steel bars.
On this construction site, there are seven or eight Wen Shuo's henchmen and buddies, working together in sweat and rain.
As Wen Shuo expected, there were really competitors coming today to scrap steel and scrap iron from the ruins of this huge workshop, and those two groups of opponents were adults. But coincidentally, these two groups of people are the two families that Wen Shuo had a conflict with him in No. 1 Middle School three years ago when he was just in high school. They couldn't afford to provoke Wen Shuo at the beginning, and after having to give up the territory near No. 1 Middle School, they have now parted ways with the competition in the waste collection industry.
The demolition of the cotton mill workshop, these two are ready to fight, never thought that the road was narrow, and met Wen Shuo......
So they didn't even say anything to argue, and immediately turned around and left.
That kid isn't easy to mess with!
It just so happens that the two of us don't have to fight.
After listening to his cousin and cousin's words, Wen Shuo was a little stunned, good guy, has he really become the top student in the college entrance examination?
This name sounds more shocking than 681 points!
Although Wen Shuo is more mature and cunning than his peers, he is definitely not as immobile as the water has the wind of an emperor and a general, he was beaten and hurt, drank too much and vomited, and like most of his peers, he has a good vanity and easy restless heart, so even if his expression at this moment seems calm, his heart is inevitably proud.
Especially when I heard that my uncle took care of the expenses for him to go to college in the future, my heart was much more relaxed.
Hey, there is a rich man's uncle who is willing to pay, why worry about it?
But then, Wen Shuo thought of his concubine Feng Chunmei, so he waved his hand and said: "I really don't have time to go, then, you have also seen, such a big job, I can't finish it until tomorrow, I can't run to eat and drink by myself, let the brothers suffer here! Congwen, go back and tell my uncle that when it's really time to use the money, I will borrow it from him." ”
"Ouch, my cousin, my dad said that he won't let you do this kind of dirty work in the future, how embarrassing it is for the top student in the college entrance examination to pick up the rags. Li Congwen said flatteringly.
In his year of high school, Li Congwen suffered the benefits of having such a cousin in school. And he is in adolescence, and he regards Wen Shuo as an idol in his heart - that is a middle school and a brother, a brother who is obeyed by those gangsters in society!
Now it's even more powerful, my cousin, who has average academic performance, seems to have easily won the college entrance examination!
This is the strength of the first brother!
"There's no shame in collecting scrap and picking up rags, don't steal or rob, and support yourself. Wen Shuo continued to be busy, and said: "Cousin, Congwen, you two hurry back, it's so dirty here, it's hot! I really won't go, let's go, let's go......"
Hu Zhiqiang and Li Congwen had no choice but to leave, they knew Wen Shuo's character, and they had one thing to say, but once they made a decision, they would not change.
Seeing the two of them leave on a motorcycle, Wen Shuo pouted and stood up straight, waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, take a break, it's really hot this day! Jin Qiang, go buy a few flatbreads, buy two cold dishes, remember to fill our kettles by the way......"
"Hey, got it!" Hou Jinqiang agreed, pedaling three rounds and leaving.
Several other people followed Wen Shuo with a smile and a smile to rest in the shade at the back door of the old office building.
They now admire Wen Shuo more and more, the work of dismantling the cotton mill workshop can be done until tomorrow, and because it is a workshop, after the excavator is forcibly demolished, the hollow slab is basically broken, which is easier to smash than the concrete pouring roof of ordinary buildings.
Up to now, everyone has worked for a total of three hours, and has made at least 100 catties of scrap steel and scrap iron.
What's especially happy is that there is a brother here, and no one dares to come to steal business!
Wen Shuo sat on the steps, picked up the kettle and took a sip of water, looking at the huge ruins, his heart was mixed with some indescribable sorrow with joy and excitement. If you become the top student in the college entrance examination, you must study hard, and you can't go to college in the future, so that people can say that you are indiscriminate, and go to college...... He had to worry about the money he had to spend again, but he didn't want to borrow money from his uncle, and he didn't want to accept his uncle's free gift.
Because Wen Shuo knows what kind of person Feng Chunmei is, and he is fed up with Feng Chunmei's arrogant and mean face!
People have to be ambitious for a lifetime, don't they?
So Wen Shuo suddenly had a hint of enlightenment.
Over the years on the campus of junior high school and high school, he has been brave and ruthless, often fighting and brawling, speaking bolder than the sky, everyone knows that he dares to play with his life, but in fact, he knows very well in his heart that every time a conflict is inevitable, when he is about to make a move, his right hand and right leg will involuntarily tremble rapidly.
Because of the nervousness, because of the ...... Afraid.
In fact, Wen Shuo's guts are very small, so he is used to using his brain to come up with ideas, so that he can become the most reasonable party in every conflict, the purpose is to "be upright", give himself more encouragement, and also have more insurance.
He knows better that every time there is a conflict, he is timid and afraid of things because of face, to be precise, for real interests and money, so that he cares about it, so that he meddles and fights...... Now I suddenly realized that my courage to dare to cause trouble and the perseverance to put aside my face and insist on cleaning up waste and work-study are more from the depths of my heart with an inferiority complex - ambition!
It's also, angry, angry!
The two of them drove a motorcycle to invite, but they couldn't invite Wen Shuo back, Li Bin and all his relatives were a little dissatisfied in pity. But this little bit of dissatisfaction, compared to the shock and joy of Wen Shuo becoming the top student in the college entrance examination, is naturally insignificant, so at noon this day at Hu Junhai's house, the meal was full of laughter and laughter.
Before two o'clock in the afternoon, when Li Qin left her sister's house, she deliberately said to her relatives, especially her younger brother, in the living room: "Zhiqiang and Congwen said before that Xiao Shuo has a lot of work in the cotton mill, and he can't finish it tomorrow, so Binzi, you said that you will hold a celebration banquet in Dongyun Restaurant, let it go first, and another day, I will invite relatives." ”
This is naturally a polite sentence.
Relatives all know that Li Qin's family conditions are poor, and now Wen Shuo is going to college again, where is the money, how can he be willing to hold a banquet in Dongyun Restaurant to celebrate?
However, everyone doesn't care.
No one is bad for this meal, besides, if you really go to eat a congratulatory banquet, can you eat it for nothing?
After Li Bin said a few polite words, he didn't insist anymore.
He knew that because of his wife Feng Chunmei's arrogant and mean temperament, the second sister and nephew Wen Shuo had been hurt countless times over the years, and naturally, there was also a gap between him and his feelings. But every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so what can it do?
After thinking about it, Li Bin felt that it was still necessary to make up for the family relationship between the two parties.
How to make up for it?
In Li Bin's opinion, the only way to take the initiative is to take the money to relieve the pressure on the life of the second sister and nephew, and he is sure that the second sister and nephew are in urgent need of money now! Because since Wen Shuo has achieved such good results in the exam, he is going to go to college anyway, and go to the best university. But with the economic conditions of the second sister's family, let alone taking out the cost of going to college at one time, Wen Shuo's living expenses in the university every month in the future will be a big problem.
