Chapter 672 Chapter 1605 (Part 1) Wei Keng Enters the City
Chapter 672 Chapter 16.05 (Part 1) Wei Keng's entry into the city
A month later, the senior technician exam was over. When Wei Keng returned to the village, he was warmly welcomed.
Others who went to the town to study only learned to read and do arithmetic, and were beaten to learn the rules.
Most people were rushed into the conscription team because their grades were not good enough, and they did not learn solid geometry and linear algebra. At present, cannon fodder on the battlefield only needs elementary school education.
Wei Keng not only achieved the best results and was allowed to go to the big city for further studies, but also brought new things from the town. After Wei Keng gave the radio to the head of the village, the head of the village immediately installed it in the village hall.
In this small village, such large items are shared. Including the only generator, it is not only for his family's lights.
At this time, the head of the village still maintained his "high moral character" and acted impartially in all kinds of things.
Wei Keng later learned that he was the only one who kept the key to the village hall, and that he was the only one who could decide how long he could stay at night. Wei Keng complained: "It's like the leader of square dancing."
The simplicity of the countryside described by literati lies in the fact that there are not many big interests to compete for, so the rich city people find that they can adjust conflicts at will, and they think that this place is simple, but when these literati are as poor as the villagers, they may not be able to remain calm in the waves of conflicts.
…The cause and effect of the countryside cannot be cut off. Wei Keng looked at the big tree he climbed at the entrance of the village and whispered: "I will come back."...
In the few years that Enma went to school, there were two little boys and a little girl in the family. These were all born to the brother who returned to the village and the girls in the village.
Speaking of Enma's brother, he was about 23 years old. He married a wife in the town and got a girl pregnant in the village. However, in this era, he can't be called a scumbag!
All the young and middle-aged men in the village were drained by the battlefield. The girls in the village had no choice but to do so.
The eight gold coins that Wei Keng brought quietly surprised his honest pot-repairing father and his aunts. With this money, the family could finally live comfortably for a while. Wei Keng took it out in just a few hours, and he had already allocated the money for debt repayment, fertilizer purchase, clothes, and schooling for his grandson (Wei Keng's nephew) in a few years, as well as raising a child bride. He wanted to have children before the conscription.
As for Enma himself, he had to go to the city to make money. Wei Keng's travel expenses totaled five silver dollars. He foolishly took over the clothes that his mother had mended for the journey. And a tool knife and a pistol that his father made with scraps.
This pistol was not a shiny aristocratic product, but a homemade pistol similar to the Eastern Eighth Route Army in World War II, called "Du Yi Jue". This thing even made the little Japanese soldier mistakenly think that it was a locksmith's tool when he saw the separated barrel and gun body during the search when he was attacked, and he let it go directly.
The potholes are made of cast iron, and the difference between the appearance and the revolver in western movies is like the difference between the red-coated cannon with sand holes in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty and the Western Krupp steel cannon. The whole gun has only ten parts, like a lock, with a cast iron pipe on it and a ring trigger underneath, which can only fire one bullet. It still uses black powder reload.
Wei Keng can feel the love of this old farmer father, but ah, as a rural perspective, it is too simple.
In order to find a way for Enma to make a living in the city, the old father contacted someone he thought was reliable in the city.
But this person is actually a "broker" in the city. There is not much difference from human traffickers. Because children like Wei Keng's age, being sent to the city by them is nothing more than "child labor". So Wei Keng decisively refused.
In the junior high school textbook, the Russian writer Chekhov created "Vanka", which is very consistent with the situation of Wei Keng at this time.
Little Vanka suffered humiliation under the oppression of the shoemaker in the city. When the clerk and the boss went out, he wrote a letter, begging his grandfather to come back. But in the end, his letter did not have a stamp, and the letter he sent was just a beautiful dream, and even if it was sent, it was still a dream.
In the previous life, Wei Keng failed Chinese for many years when he was a teenager. He only knew to copy the answers in the reference book honestly, and failed to understand the background of the article.
He could only write in the answer box: "The lower class people are poor but pursue a happy and beautiful life attitude, but the cruelty and tyranny of the exploiting class do not allow it."
At that time, as a primary school student, he could not know the humiliating life of "being an apprentice to a craftsman." ” What does it feel like.
Oh, then I saw the development of the times, the Internet era, various "food delivery platforms", "online car-hailing platforms" and the "excellent" corporate style of cities that let programmers "graduate" and enter the society. I immediately understood that the article "Vanka" is not only "not outdated", but it is simply the "advanced education" of that generation to go to big cities and big companies to find opportunities.
Fortunately, this old father left himself the last bottom line, that is, this earth gun that does not look like a gun. When necessary, he will show it and will not be bullied outside. If you meet someone who really wants to bully you to death, it can be used as a deterrent.
Of course, this father didn't know that Enma was not an ordinary teenager.
Six days later
After returning to the town and boarding the train, mingling with ordinary people, Enma felt that there was a thief in this large crowd, so he couldn't help but touch the things in his backpack, but when he touched the cast iron pistol.
The system prompts: "Father's love is like a mountain, Yang attribute, D level. This weapon will give you courage when you encounter unfairness."
Wei Keng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Did you start working so soon?"
Yan Beixiang, the team leader left by the Bailinglu team in this dimension: "Yes, under normal circumstances, the "system" is awakened at this time." (This is when you are twelve or thirteen years old, Mo Qi When a young man is poor, all kinds of thoughts are at their strongest)
Wei Keng said half-jokingly: "Well, there is no need to prompt me with item information. Every time I see the information bar, I always feel like there is some task."
Yan Beixiang was silent for a while and asked weakly: "Then how can I help?"
A super traveler like Wei Keng has already begun to focus and be patient after a little inspiration was born in multiple dimensions. And the observation and safety deployment on the entire plane are better than the supervisors.
Now the supervisors are also Alexander together with Wei Keng. There is a sense of urgency of being “laid off and unemployed”.
Wei Keng looked at the vegetation outside the window and said leisurely: "We are all old collaborators, so there is no need to be nervous."
…The train chugs on the road…
Wei Keng rarely began to comfort people, his eyes staring at the distant city. There is something desolate about the perspective.
That big city with flashing lights was full of information fields where industrial forces collided, but there were also some mixed ones, flashing "conflicts" and "chaotic information." Wei Keng read that every gear might be stained with blood, but these The "blood-stained" information was continuously excreted along the lines in the city, silently.
Seeing the city like this, Enma felt a little numb. It was completely different from the cheerful look of the boy who came with him.
Wei Keng leisurely asked the system: The direction you have been working hard for has finally been regarded as a "available" motivation. Can you still maintain your passion?
Yan Beixiang read the information on industrial development here and became solemn: "If you trample on your passion, you should trample on them."
Wei Keng laughed when he heard this and said to the silly girl: "But, I don't want to trample on anyone."
A few minutes later, Enma was pushed by the military police maintaining order in the train. Wei Keng immediately added: "But others trample on me first. I will retaliate."
On the supervisor's platform, the new follower Hongzhen beside Yan Beixiang couldn't help but said: "Huh, ha."
