My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 27 Worship Me Instead of God
This made Weidong's emotions towards Director Shi even more complicated.

After all, I had never had any face-to-face contact with Shi Linyan in my previous life, and we had hardly even spoken to each other.

I'm very familiar with this person.

I wrapped the Hongtashan cigarette in newspaper, put it under my open clothes, and went to the cadre building behind the compound.

The young female teacher immediately jumped over to open the door and looked closely at Weidong's image, wondering why he hadn't adjusted at all.

Silently glaring and pouting, wanting to teach someone a lesson.

Wei Dong didn't bother to pay attention to the silly woman and nodded directly to Shi Qingjiang who was looking at him: "Hello, leader. I was just thinking of coming to thank you for your care."

He was surprised when he spoke. In his previous life, he must have been not good at speaking when he got old, and he remained silent in most situations.

Although she was lively and cheerful after graduating from high school, she was not to this extent.

Is it because I've been giving out cigarettes to people everywhere these days that I've become more talkative?
Anyway, I feel like I've become a millionaire after a few consecutive orders, and I feel more confident and speak more fluently.

Shi Qingjiang, who looked a bit bloated in his dark blue Zhongshan suit and a military overcoat, was also surprised. He pointed inside, cigarette between his lips. "Xiao Rang? Come in and sit down. Last time I went to thank you, I only saw your parents. They said you were visiting relatives."

Let Weidong follow in, Shi Linyan obviously wants to stay nearby.

The two men were disgusted at the same time, and the father frowned: "Shouldn't you go pour tea?"

After Weidong saw her turn around, he took out the cigarette and put it aside: "It's almost New Year. Thank you for your care in the past. I also wish you good luck in your future work and good health."

For forty years, no matter how his disability ruined his life, Lao Shi still gave Weidong a safe and stable life by protecting him from the wind and rain.

Of course, there are some great people who are physically disabled but determined enough to achieve success, but the vast majority of disabled people definitely live a more miserable life than Rang Weidong.

So I must come to say goodbye and thank you.

But in Shi Qingjiang's eyes, there must be another meaning. It has only been two months, so what's the point of talking about care?

Considering saving lives, it’s not certain who will thank whom.

Moreover, the salary of a temporary worker for two months is only enough to buy this cigarette.

If you are willing to spend such a huge amount of money, you must have other intentions.

His expression turned serious: "What do you mean?"

To be honest, Weidong had never received any gifts. He didn't smoke and didn't need to curry favor with anyone. He had lived in the guard room for decades, keeping to himself. He had only just started to learn how to offer cigarettes and treat people to meals. He had even hesitated about whether to give the doctor bacon or a red envelope.

In short, he doesn't know any of the tricks of officialdom.

I just wanted to express my feelings: "It's not that interesting. I'm not from Shangzhou, so it's not appropriate for my father to work as a temporary worker in the tax compound..."

Before he could finish telling us about our family's plan to leave Shangzhou, Shi Linyan's mother came in wearing an apron and holding a spatula. "Why, you still want to be a regular employee?! You want your mother to be a regular employee in the cafeteria too, right? And you, you're going to be our son-in-law, and that's enough for you, right?"

Shi Linyan's face flushed and she tried to pull her mother's arm, but was pushed away.

Weidong was speechless. He had no complaints against Lao Shi at all, but this old hag was annoying.

They would ask disabled people to move things, make coal cakes, and do cleaning for this family every few days. For decades, they have been saying that the Shi family is a morally noble family that knows how to repay a favor. While building their own family image, they repeatedly use disabled people as a parade scapegoat.

Just ask if it’s difficult.

If it weren't for the two disabled people in his family who had nowhere else to go, Weidong would never have been able to endure for forty years.

There is no need to argue now. I was originally trying to remind Mr. Shi in a roundabout way not to fall into trouble with his wife who accepted bribes together with her son-in-law.

Especially when he took up the position of the Municipal Party Committee when he was at the peak of his career, it became a sore spot for criticism and exploitation.

This is just a reminder.

He shook his head and stood up: "I will go take my father away now. Thank you for your care, leader. Goodbye."

The old woman was still relentless, "What? You want to run away now that you've been exposed? You country bumpkins want to eat swan meat, and you're pretending to learn foreign languages. Who can't see what you mud-footed idiots are up to? You're like a crow turning into a phoenix after escaping from the countryside? The whole family wants to pounce on you and suck your blood at the first opportunity!"

Wei Dong was too lazy to argue with her and just pointed at Shi Linyan from a distance, meaning, look, isn't this the humiliation you brought upon me?

I am just thick-skinned.

His action only caused the old woman to go on a rampage.

The female teacher's face was about to bleed. It was probably the first time in her life that she realized how mean her mother was.

So Weidong was not surprised at all that she became like this when she got old.

Old Shi also didn't say anything, just like he hadn't said a word in the past forty years.

So Weidong walked out the door proudly despite the overwhelming humiliation behind him.

The dormitories were all multi-story, and even if the powerful officials lived in larger rooms, there were still several families on each floor. It felt like everyone was craning their necks to listen.

Weidong was completely worried. He didn't want to explain to the people in the tax bureau that he was already a millionaire. That would be asking for trouble.

I went downstairs to find my father and told him with a smile that this job was off, but I found a better job for you in Jiangzhou. Come on, let's go and figure out what to do.

Lao Rang was completely confused.

When we were taken back, we took all the cash and packed up our things, leaving only some bachelor's items. In the afternoon, my mother came back with the household registration book, and the whole family immediately went to the dock and left.

Anyway, Weidong still feels that his bad fate with the Shi family has been severed.

So Shi Linyan finally took advantage of the evening class to leave school early and knock on the door, but when there was no response and the room was empty, she burst into tears.

Crying.

Let Weidong laugh over there.

I also have a car!
Seeing his parents coming with lots of bags, with two backpacks and two baskets full, Aunt Wang immediately helped to arrange them enthusiastically.

It was only then that Wei Dong was surprised to discover that this store and office was a one-story building with three bedrooms or offices upstairs, and an empty room downstairs of about 40 square meters. There was a toilet at the corner of the stairs.

From the perspective of later generations, this is already a standard structure with a restaurant downstairs and private rooms upstairs.

Two thousand yuan a year also includes the business license of a labor service company that can sell groceries, which is worth a lot of money.

Of course, Weidong didn't take such a big step. He first arranged for his parents to live, and then helped his mother buy all kinds of pots, pans, and cooking utensils. He went to eat hot pot with Aunt Wang to figure out how the taste was made, and tried to make it the next day.

It doesn’t need to be made into hotpot base, just enough to make spicy hotpot.

With so many factories around, it is the best place for young workers to make a living.

In fact, it is also to reassure Aunt Wang. If he is really a scammer, he would not be so busy thinking about making a living.

The family household registration booklet that was brought, as well as Lao Rang's name on the hospital's diagnosis and hospitalization certificate, all had Lao Rang's name on them.

Except for the lack of official photos and other proof, it is as complete as possible.

But these days everyone seemed clear-headed and stupid, which didn't make Weidong so defensive at all.

The next morning, a Dongfeng truck brought over a ton of goods. Aunt Wang urged him to leave quickly. Your parents asked me to teach you the things to pay attention to in local life.

No wonder the brother-sister gang at the dock was able to deceive so many people.

The agreed contract has been stamped with the official seal, and as promised, Weidong was given a work permit and he just had to attach his photo.

You have to go buy gas and refuel yourself, and you only have one car key. You must take good care of this truck that has only traveled more than 8,000 kilometers.

Weidong took 8,500 yuan and gave it to the reluctant driver and finance officer to take back, and also took them to the long-distance bus station.

By the way, listen to the driver explain some precautions about this car.

When the old couple knew that their son was learning to drive in a transport company, they had heard others ridicule and lament about it, but now seeing him get in the car in a cool manner, start the taxi, and drive out steadily, they were moved to tears!
Now that he has obtained a pass to the 21st century, Weidong has completely forgotten the humiliation he suffered from that old hag.

I finally managed to hold back and sent the driver and the finance officer to the bus station with countless instructions. I drove a long way alone and was still laughing.

He himself didn't expect that in just half a year, he was able to secretly contract a truck.

This is a life on the wheel that he has never experienced in his previous life. How can he not be happy?

Even though the hard-shocked seat soon made his buttocks move a little, he couldn't stop smiling.

Fortunately, I have rich experience in map "navigation". The key is that there are not many cars on the road in Jiangzhou at this time, and there are no complicated one-way streets or prohibited sections, so I can drive freely.

It took Weidong an hour to slowly drive the car to the freight terminal on the other side to hand over the goods for loading.

One hundred titanium ingots only take up a small space on a 2,000-ton cargo ship. After agreeing to set off tomorrow morning and board the ship in the evening, Weidong even drove the car to the city for a ride!
Driving a truck for a ride might seem a bit hardcore, but it wasn't impossible before 1984.

The first goal, of course, is to go to that high-end photo studio to pick up the photos.

Manager Zhang, who still remembers it clearly, saw the huge Dongfeng truck parked in front of the store and was about to drive it away when he saw Mr. Cheng Rang getting out of the car with a hahaha.

He also smiled and carefully helped Weidong stick his registration photo on his work ID.

Then it was a little embarrassing. Manager Zhang actually took the initiative to help Weidong develop a 15-inch hardcover color photo, and it even came with a frame. What should he do?
The photo was great, a bust of an aristocratic elite, which made Weidong willing to pay for it.

But he doesn't even have a home now, where can he go?

Before the traffic police came to ask questions, he simply hung it in the middle of the rear window of the cockpit, quite like the Indian style of decorating the interior of the car.

But at first glance, the size of the environment looked a bit like an altar for offering sacrifices, and Manager Zhang's face twitched when he saw it.
