Chapter 22 Childhood Partners
"Brother, I finally found you. I searched for you so hard. Today I finally found you."

It was Liu Shiyuan's younger brother Wu Jinlong who was talking. Wu Jinlong didn't go to middle school like Liu Shiyuan, but followed his older fellow villagers to a strange city to work hard. As soon as you move bricks, learn some crafts, such as bricklayers, carpenters, masons, welders and other crafts.

Wu Jinlong is a steel bar worker who studied at the construction site. Although this steel bar worker makes a lot of money, there is no great future for being a steel bar worker all his life.Besides, this steel bar worker followed the contractor on the construction site. Wherever there was work, he went there. It can be said that he went everywhere. The job was unstable.

If they get married and have children in the future, they will have to leave their family and career to do it. Speaking of it, this is the helplessness in life, which is always full of reconciliation.

"Oh, come inside quickly." Liu Shiyuan saw that Wu Jinlong was wearing newly bought clothes, but the quality was not high-end goods, just bought from a street stall.

Wu Jinlong entered the house, looking very restrained, because he lived in the shed every day, and suddenly appeared in such a clean home, he was a little uncomfortable.From the first moment he saw Liu Shiyuan, he knew that the distance between himself and him seemed to have arisen. He is not the kind of person who likes to deal with people who are richer than him, because he feels that it is impossible to talk without the same identity, and it is also impossible. Be friends.

Maybe this was the last time he entered Liu Shiyuan's home. He was just worried that Liu Shiyuan spent 300 yuan to take a three-day vacation from the construction site, and he just wanted to take a look.

"What are you thinking about? I'm so fascinated, I didn't expect you to be really good. How are you doing?" Liu Shiyuan saw Wu Jinlong coming in and had been sitting on the sofa thinking about something quietly, and said while holding a water glass.

"I'm relieved to see that you're fine. I'm still learning steelwork with my master and others at the construction site. When I learn it, I'll do a little work like them. I think it's good." Wu Jinlong said a little unnaturally.

Maybe he has low self-esteem in his heart, Liu Shiyuan thought in his heart.

In the past, they played together, got into trouble together, and peeked at the little girl taking a bath together, but now he actually saw something strange in Wu Jinlong's eyes.

"Jinlong, listen to my brother's words, don't do it anymore, this kind of work is really not suitable for you, do you really want to spend your whole life on the construction site? There is really no future there, although you really earn a lot of money there It is rare, but who is willing to marry you nowadays? You do these things and are not at home all the year round. Who would like to stay in an empty house alone? You are still young, I think you should not only pay attention to the immediate interests , we should start with long-term interests, the first thing you have to do is to quit your current job, go back to school, and continue your studies.” Seeing his good friend in the past, Liu Shiyuan gave him a good way.

But Wu Jinlong didn't think so. He felt that Liu Shiyuan just looked down on people like them, and he knew that Liu Shiyuan had become a great writer.

"Brother, I know that you are a great writer now and look down on us migrant workers, but we are also contributing to the country. We don't steal from others, we don't steal from others, and we do things with my own hands. What's wrong with me? Yes, many people look down on us, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, maybe we’re not in the same circle, so our ideas are different, and I think I’m pretty good now.” , Wu Jinlong said a little excitedly, he really didn't expect that his good brother who had played with him since he was a child would become such a person, he looked down on his background as a steel bar worker, and looked down on them workers struggling on the front line of production.

"Jinlong, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. What I meant was that you shouldn't have entered the society so early. You should be studying now. If you don't have money at home, I will lend it to you. If you really don’t want to go to middle school, you can come to my newspaper office to help. I will give you 3000 yuan a month, but you must promise me one condition, that is, you must enroll in night school. Evening school study. I know the salary here is definitely not as high as yours, but the advantage is that it is clean and easy to find a partner. To be honest, this job is also very decent, are you right?" Liu Shiyuan seemed very sincere.

Wu Jinlong didn't object. It seems that he really realized that he misunderstood Liu Shiyuan's meaning.

Don't look at the great principles he said. Others agree with them on the surface, but in their hearts, many people look down on this profession, including himself.

But there is no way, he has now integrated into it.He felt that he really couldn't do the work of the newspaper office, so he still did his original job.

"I know what you think, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to do it in the newspaper office. However, I didn't let you do anything else in the first half of the year. I just asked you to do some trivial things in the newspaper office, such as fetching water for others, sweeping the floor, and tidying up the office. In the second half of the year, you will see which job you are qualified for and you will do it." Liu Shiyuan has already seen that he is unwilling to challenge a new environment, so he said.

Seeing that Wu Jinlong still looked like that, he said again: "Let me tell you clearly, the main reason I let you go to my newspaper office is not to let you do any work, but to let you monitor every move of the employees there. Are they working properly?" What needs to be improved, help me take care of the newspaper office, it should not be difficult. You know I don’t have any relatives here, it’s not easy to run a newspaper office, if I’m really cheated, I guess I won’t turn around in my life gone."

"Well, anyway, I don't want to be a steel bar worker from the bottom of my heart. Being a white-collar worker has always been my dream. But if I really can't do it well, I still have to return to my original position." Wu Jinlong finally let go.

"Okay, I believe you can do a good job here. We played together since we were young, and I know your ability best. Let's go, let's go to the tavern for a drink. We haven't seen each other for a long time to catch up." Liu Shiyuan said with a smile.

It's not that he has strong sympathy, after all, this Wu Jinlong is his only good brother, and now he has the ability to help him.

"Brother, you also said that from among everyone, I thought you would have a great future. Do you remember one time, when we played a game called peek-a-boo, many people were leaked, but you were the only one who didn't? , We searched for an hour, and finally the animation time came, we all went to your house to watch TV, and saw that you had finished your meal, and you were sitting on a stool, watching TV and drinking milk." Wu Jinlong also let go , said.From Liu Shiyuan's tone, he felt that he hadn't changed, he was still the big brother who played together back then.

"Hehe, how long has it been, do you still remember?"

"Of course, after all, the childhood of each of us is unforgettable, isn't it?"

While they were talking, the security door rang.

Liu Xueer and Liu Yuer are back.

"Ah, Brother Jinlong, when did you come? Aren't you in the county seat? How did you get here?" Liu Yu'er said in surprise.

"Yeah, I mainly want to see my elder brother. I heard that my elder brother was bullied here in the county." Wu Jinlong only explained his purpose at this time.

"Where did you hear that?" Liu Shiyuan frowned.

He was very surprised, he didn't tell anyone about it, why did Wu Jinlong hear about it there?

"Brother, don't you know? Now every house in our family has installed cable TV. We don't have to watch Ami's programs in our Qixian County anymore. The signal is not good. This is not expensive, more than 100 a year One dollar. I just saw you on TV. Who in our village doesn’t know that you are a great writer now. Your writing is so good that it has been included in textbooks. You have been said by the older generation in our village. I became a Wenqu star in the sky and descended to earth. Let’s say that Secretary Liu, the most educated in our village, praised you. He said that even he could not study your article thoroughly. Many people have read the famous article you wrote. The short story "Chameleon"." Wu Jinlong said triumphantly, since childhood, all the other children played with the older children with strong bodies, but he was the only one who had a unique vision and always played with the elder brother.

From the bottom of his heart, he was very willing to work in the newspaper office and the evening school, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do it by himself.

If he called the family about this, his father would be very happy, because his father's dream since he was a child was to be a literate writer, and the newspaper office was infinitely close to his father's dream.

I still remember that when he dropped out of school, his father beat him with a broom, scolded him, and he just didn't go to school.In the end, I sneaked to the construction site with my partner.

Later, he heard from his mother that his father was seriously ill after he left. In fact, he heard that his father was a leader in studies when he was young, but because the family did not have much money for him to study, In desperation, he dropped out of school and stayed at home. In fact, it was not considered a dropout at that time, because at that time, there were many people who had not studied, not to mention that his father had gone to junior high school.

After hearing these words, Liu Shiyuan clicked his tongue a little, and said: "So everyone in our family knows that I have written articles, and everyone knows that I have stopped studying?"

"Yes, everyone knows about it." Wu Jinlong said with some doubts.

"My parents already know?" He asked again.

"Understood, they are all very happy. What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Wu Jinlong asked again.
