Chapter 400 He Is My Brother

How did Wang Xuewen get involved with MLM? Zhang Tong was a little puzzled, but in Li Saifeng's narration, Zhang Tong slowly learned the whole story.

Because of Wang Xuewen's Down's Syndrome, he has some language and memory barriers and poor coordination of hands and feet. Of course, he can't reach the mentally handicapped stage, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to go to high school. Although his high school grades are basically the lowest of his age, at least he has finished his high school courses.

In the first semester of the third year of high school, Zhang Tong and his classmates went to a ktv party to welcome the new millennium. After Zhang Tong crossed over, Wang Xuewen had only Zhang Tong as a friend in school. So he was very anxious at the time. Helping Zhang Tong's parents have been busy looking for Zhang Tong. Wang Xuewen's grades were not good in the first place, and this distraction made his grades even worse.

There was a meeting in the school to consider whether to let those students with poor grades not take the college entrance examination, or simply not to take the second half of the third semester of senior high school. At that time, the school will issue them graduation certificates, but don't come to school. Because the high school education resources in Huaihai were also in a state of tension at that time. There are fifty or sixty students in a high school class, and some schools even have seventy or eighty students.

The student's seat is so small that it is impossible to move and turn around when sitting in it. The school hopes to persuade a group of students who are not studying hard to go home, and reserve resources for students who have the opportunity to go to college. Let them have a better review and learning environment.

This is easy to say, but it is the reality. In 1999, it was still the first year of university enrollment expansion. It has not yet expanded to the point of flooding, and there are no such things as private colleges. The difficulty of the high school entrance examination in 1999 was many times higher than that of twenty years later. Even Zhang Tong's high school is considered one of the top ten high schools in the district, but not many of them can enter the university in one class. There are 60 students in a class, about one or two can get into the first line, three or five can get into the second line, and maybe seven or eight can get into the junior college. At that time, every student who was expected to be admitted to the first line was the treasure of the school, for fear of getting sick and dying.

Because at that time, two-thirds or more of the students had no chance to study in colleges and universities. Twenty years later, the number of high school graduates admitted to colleges and universities has soared from 1.5 million in 1999 to more than 600 to nearly 7 million. Twenty years later, if there are 60 students in a class in high school, basically a few of them will not be admitted to college. After all, you can go to college with a score of 300. In fact, you can go to college with a poor grade and spend a little money.

Under the circumstances of the educational resources and social background of the year, the school persuaded some students who did not study well and were troublesome and did not allow them to take the college entrance examination. Normal and correct phenomenon.

Wang Xuewen was originally in the ranks of retiring. Originally, Wang Xuewen was not good at studying, but at least he was active and serious in class. But in the second half of the third semester of high school, because he was busy helping to find Zhang Tong, he rode a bicycle every day with the manuscript paper and paste bucket of the missing person notice around Huaihai City to post the missing person notice. It was also because of this incident that Wang Xuewen gradually lost his mind on school.

At that time, the school's teaching director said that the parents of the students who were not fond of poor academic performance and affected other students' studies were called to do the work. We are responsible for the future of our children, and we cannot influence those who love learning because of those who do not like learning.

These words are really not pleasant, and it is very unfair to look at it now, but in the environment at that time, this choice was cruel and realistic. And Wang Xuewen was also among the ranks who were persuaded to return home. Li Saifeng, the class teacher at the time, disagreed. She said that everyone else could quit, but Wang Xuewen could not.

Why?

Because Wang Xuewen is not a bad boy, he doesn't study or doesn't like to study, he loves to study too much, but his physical condition prevents him from competing fairly with healthy people. Therefore, Li Saifeng felt that it was unfair to dismiss Wang Xuewen, and it was very bad for him.

"This child is working hard to make himself live like a normal person. He is neither thorny nor troublesome. If we, as teachers, deny this child's efforts at this important moment, it will have a devastating blow to his life. He The body is not good. If we deprive him of his dignity, everyone, can we still be regarded as teachers? Teaching and educating people, teaching and educating people, in the end our education will fall on educating people. Wang Xuewen was hit by the disappearance of Zhang Tong. Under such circumstances, it would be better not to give him this kind of treatment. Everyone, we have been teaching for many years. Everyone must know that it is very important to raise a good child. It's difficult, but it's too easy to ruin a good child. Do you really have the heart?" What Li Saifeng said on the spot stunned all the teachers in the meeting.

This can be regarded as keeping Wang Xuewen, and he followed all the high school courses. After Wang Xuewen's parents found out, they dragged Wang Xuewen to Li Saifeng's house and asked Wang Xuewen to kowtow to Li Saifeng. There is still a difference between a teacher and a master, but what Li Saifeng has done can already be called a master for Wang Xuewen. From then on, during festivals and Li Saifeng's birthday, Wang Xuewen would always bring some fruit to Li Saifeng's house to congratulate him, and the relationship between the two became more like elder relatives. (Note: Master and master are not the same concept, so don’t confuse them. Chinese platoon ethics: heaven and earth, monarch, relative and teacher, and master is master. They are elders second only to parents.)

From then on, Li Saifeng became closer to Wang Xuewen's family. In recent years, Li Saifeng has been selected as an outstanding educator many times because her educational philosophy is student-oriented and she is willing to learn more advanced teaching methods. He has been promoted from a high school teacher in an ordinary high school to a dean in a key middle school in the city. So Zhang Tong couldn't find Li Saifeng when he went to the original old school.

Over the years, Li Saifeng has also taken good care of her students. It should be said that some things are really amazing. From 1999 to 2000, the teacher-student relationship changed rapidly. In the 1980s and 1990s, after graduating from high school, most people would continue to keep in touch with each other. Especially those good teachers who helped themselves when they were students will also walk around as adults. After entering the new century, the relationship between teachers and students has changed rapidly, and education has suddenly become a business industry. The teacher-student relationship is more like a business, so the relationship fades away.

After graduating from high school, Wang Xuewen had no job and stayed at home for a year. This is also normal, who will hire him for the same money? He can't speak well, and his hands and feet are not very quick. Why should he compete with those normal people for jobs? But then again, Wang Xuewen has to work. If he doesn't work, how can he get food? You can't eat your parents for a lifetime. Parents will grow old or even pass away one day.

Not to mention at the time, Zhang Tong's parents were busy with Wang Xuewen's affairs after Zhang Tong's disappearance, and the couple thought Wang Xuewen was good. He is not smart but a kind-hearted person. After knowing that Wang Xuewen was unemployed at home and had no job, the couple discussed it and invited Wang Xuewen to work as a small worker in the store.

It is called a small worker, but Wang Xuewen is not good at his hands and feet, he can't do the work of clearing the table and greeting the guests. If you let him do this, the business of the small restaurant will be ruined. So Wang Xuewen was assigned to work in the back kitchen, helping cut onions, garlic, washing and picking vegetables, and changing gas tanks for the store to resist rice and oil.

It’s just so hard, how much does it cost per month? Four hundred, including two meals.

This is really not bullying by Zhang Tong’s parents, because the small restaurant is doing business in the neighborhood. In 2000, a small restaurant on the Huaihai roadside fried a vegetarian dish for two or three yuan, and fried a little meat, such as Yuxiang Shredded pork and so on are only five yuan. A frozen duck sold in braised sauce or beer is only sold for sixteen.

Small restaurants don't make money, what they earn is hard money. The store was originally managed by a husband and wife and there was no need to invite anyone. What can Wang Xuewen do in the store? To put it bluntly, it is to give children a bite to eat and earn some pocket money. The couple are getting older, and it is a bit difficult to do physical work. Let Wang Xuewen do some moving things. Four hundred yuan a month Wang Xuewen rides a bicycle to work for 45 minutes every day, eats two meals at noon and evening at the restaurant, and rides home from get off work around 8 o'clock in the evening.

Wang Xuewen's parents are actually very happy, because no one outside uses Wang Xuewen. Now there is a small restaurant that takes care of him as a clerk, not to mention earning more or less, as long as he has a job and is not discriminated against, he can do anything. What's more, Zhang Tong's parents are kind-hearted and will not bully Wang Xuewen.

Therefore, from 2000 to 2014, Wang Xuewen worked in Zhang Tong's small shop for 14 years, and his salary was just as the market went. Although it is said that he did not earn much, Wang Xuewen lived happily at that time.

Until 2014, Zhang Tong's parents were infected with the vicious flu at the same time, and they passed away in less than a month. This small shop can no longer be opened, and Wang Xuewen can be regarded as coming out of this small shop. It must also be said here that when Zhang Tong's parents were in the hospital before they left, it was Wang Xuewen who ran back and forth. After the husband and wife left, Wang Xuewen did all the things like finding a cemetery to buy a cemetery after the funeral.

Moreover, the housing prices in Huaihai were already very high in 2014, and Zhang Tong's parents died suddenly without leaving a will. Many relatives came up with the idea of ​​Zhang Tong's house, but Wang Xuewen made a fool of himself. He stopped these people with a kitchen knife and said that Zhang Tong hadn't found it yet. Now there are so many returnees, why don't you know if he has also crossed. What if he came back that day? !

So at that time, Wang Xuewen entrusted this small shop to the Huaihai government agency. This is why after Zhang Tong came back, it only took more than ten days for this small shop to go through the formalities and it was quickly in his hands. If it was in the hands of those distant relatives, some of this bullshit lawsuits would be fought. Here I have to say one more thing, Wang Xuewen is a little bit stupid, slow to respond, a bit slow to speak, but he is not mentally handicapped.

"So, Xiao Zhang. Tell me about how Wang Xuewen treated your parents and your family, even if you didn't come back at that time. You should recognize him as your brother now." Li Saifeng whispered about the years Zhang Tong left. What happened here is described in detail.

Zhang Tong nodded, he was calm on the surface but still very turbulent in his heart. Because the last time I saw Wang Xuewen, he didn't tell me anything, and he didn't mention any of these things to me. If Wang Xuewen had said it at that time, how could Zhang Tong let Wang Xuewen go so easily.

"After Wang Xuewen left your parents' small shop, it was difficult to find a job. Although the government has always advocated equality, you also know the employers. They are very picky. Sometimes it is difficult for healthy people to find a job. Don't say it. Wang Xuewen. Later, I found a student who was my student in the past, who is now a regional manager in Yichu Lotus, to see if I can give him a job. My student saw that although Wang Xuewen was slow in his hands and feet, he was very hardworking, so I gave him a job. I arranged a job in a supermarket. Although I can’t make a lot of money, it’s good to be able to make money and work like ordinary people.”

"Wang Xuewen now has a monthly salary of 3,200 yuan. He has always given 2,500 yuan to his family every month for his parents to save. Money for eating out. But the money he saved for his parents this month is only 1,000 yuan. So his parents are very curious and want to know where his other money has gone. But Wang Xuewen doesn’t say anything.”

"Because this child has a very good relationship with me, so his parents called me and asked me to ask for help. The main reason is that he is afraid that he will be cheated, but I can't ask him for life or death. I We talked about you when we were chatting with him. I didn’t know that you really came back, so I asked him to take me to see you. Wang Xuewen had the best relationship with you back then. After so many years, he still remembers that you were in Helped him out in the school to teach those bad students who bullied him. You try to see and talk to him, let him tell you what's going on. Don't be fooled, I heard The current MLM is very powerful. If you give you two classes, you will be cheated out of your wealth. You know that Wang Xuewen is not very smart, and we are all worried that he will be cheated. He earns more than 1,000 yuan. It's hard!" Li Saifeng said a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li. You said so much today, let me tell you this. In my heart, I regard Wang Xuewen as my brother. If it is really a liar who cheated him of money, don't worry, I will naturally not let you go." That liar. I will tell him that he has no good fruit to eat." Zhang Tong said this in a low voice, but firmly.

Yes, Wang Xuewen is not smart, but he has a pure heart. He remembered that he helped him back then for more than ten years, and he helped with the funeral affairs of his parents when he was not at home, but he didn't say anything about it after seeing him. It was the truth that Teacher Li Saifeng came here today to tell. Why is such a person not my brother Zhang Tong? ! This is true brotherhood.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tong greeted Wang Xuewen: "Xiaowen, are you free later?"

"I...I rest today."

"Okay, accompany me to the bookstore later. It's been a long time since I went to the bookstore to read comic books. I don't know where the big bookstore is now." Zhang Tong scratched his head.

"I know... I know, later, I will take you there." Wang Xuewen smiled.
