Eight, sincere words

During the lunch break, the work shed was very lively. The migrant workers customarily carried out various activities according to their own hobbies. Some came to the construction site and abandoned various household chores to varying degrees.

My son, after eating and working, was in a good mood. He leaned on the bed roll with a suitable straw stick and picked his teeth leisurely. The active young man was either playing or making trouble, talking and laughing, playing and making trouble or being quiet.

Come down; those who love to play poker stare and jump and quarrel while playing, but their quarrels do not keep accounts or take revenge. Once the stall is over, everyone is doing well and I am doing well as usual, and they are all smiles; the poker player who has not caught anything is just lying down and taking a nap.

They make fuss about other people, either using straw sticks to rub their ears, or poking their noses, making them itchy and restless. They feel that this is the only way to relieve fatigue, to show that they have work and rest, and they can start working in the afternoon.

Children only have energy when they are young. In this way, the quiet person and the active person have become a pair of irreconcilable contradictions at this time and within this scope. The quiet person said that the active person is Sun Dasheng from Huaguo Mountain. Love

Jumping monkeys. The active people retorted, saying that quiet people eat and sleep, and sleep and eat like pigs. The two sides argued until the quarrel affected the "chess fans" who were in a semi-quiet and semi-moving state.

After some mediation, the opposing sides stopped and hung up the truce sign, but no one was "conquered". After a while, the two camps returned to their original state. Those who should lie down continued to lie down, and those who needed to make trouble continued to make trouble.

Although the work shed was noisy and lively, Li Xiaobao was like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced and sentenced, sitting alone with his head hanging down, uneasily speculating about the consequences of getting into trouble. He anxiously walked out of the work shed.

He walked out and wanted to take a walk outside to clear his troubled mind. As he was walking, he was suddenly stopped by Li Minqiang from behind. He turned around and saw Li Minqiang standing behind him holding a shovel. He couldn't help but hit him.

He shuddered and looked at Li Minqiang's serious face with panic eyes. In Li Xiaobao's eyes, the shovel was like a rifle. As long as Li Minqiang raised his hand, his head would explode. He took a few steps back.

He stammered: "You...you...you dare to hit someone?"

Li Minqiang raised his hand, pointed to a sunny slope on the left and said, "Let's go over there."

When Li Xiaobao heard this, it was as if there was a thunderclap in his ears, and his head was buzzing. What? Did Li Minqiang really want to kill him? Wang Wensi had already told me that Li Minqiang was not a vegetarian.

You can't go, you can't let him go to a place where no one is around to do evil things. But can you not go? No one can stop him if he beats you here! Should he go or not? Li Minqiang, who had already moved forward, turned around and saw him standing as he had been.

Without moving, he thrust the shovel into the ground and said, "Go over there! Do you hear me?"

Li Xiaobao saw that Li Minqiang called him again and stood down to wait for him. He had to go. At this time, he comforted himself and said, go ahead. Sooner or later, you will have to pass this level. But Li Minqiang won't let me go.

.

Li Xiaobao followed Li Minqiang in fear, and the two of them came to the high ridge facing the sun one after another. Li Minqiang put the shovel down on the ground, glanced at Li Xiaobao and said, "Sit down." After that, he sat down.

One end of the shovel means that Xiaobao should sit on the other end of the shovel.

Li Xiaobao did not dare to sit down and stood next to Li Minqiang. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: he would run away as soon as Li Minqiang raised his hand.

Li Minqiang took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and smoked it. When he asked him to sit down again, Li Xiaobao knelt down beside him uneasily, still staring at Li Minqiang with a pair of wary eyes.

The two people were silent and didn't speak for a long time, and white smoke was floating in curves above their heads.

Li Minqiang spoke first: "Do you know what I want from you?"

Li Xiaobao said nothing, but glanced at Li Minqiang's face and lowered his head again.

Li Minqiang took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "How could you do such a thing? Is this a cinema? Come and leave if you wish. This is a reservoir construction site and also our battlefield. We must be organized.

Discipline is what matters. The "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" were mentioned before we came to the construction site. Why don't you follow them? If you don't just do it by yourself, you have to drag others with you. What you do will have a bad impact.

And how can you say those words you said? Do you think I am a weakling who can be bullied by others? I must not let others insult me ​​for no reason..."

Li Xiaobao's most feared thing, Li Minqiang, was brought up, and he couldn't help but tremble. A good man doesn't suffer the consequences, and he was about to stand up and run when he heard Li Minqiang say: "At that time, I wanted to grab you and beat you up, but I couldn't do it, because we

We are brothers. Our ancestors have been raised by others for generations. We are melons grown on a vine. I can't do this! Look at the life you live at home. If you are not afraid of poverty, just do it.

Afraid of short-term ambitions, young people should have a little ambition, and live a promising life with dignity. You are not afraid of being looked down upon by others, but you are afraid of not living up to expectations. You must do things that others can respect. Pies in the sky will not fall, you have to rely on yourself

There are only flies that freeze to death, and there are no bees that die from exhaustion. Is it what a young person should have to be afraid of hardship and fatigue? Trees grow taller, and people walk taller. Look at the life of brother Mingkun at home.

How good it is, when will you be able to change poverty and live a happy life if you continue like this? You have to think about it carefully."

Hearing this, Li Xiaobao's hanging heart slowly fell to the ground. It seemed that he would not be cruel to me. At the same time, he was also a little moved by Li Minqiang's approach. He held a small wooden stick in his hand.

, scribbling aimlessly on the ground, and silently listening to Li Minqiang's serious and sincere words.

"Also, don't think that the ugly things you did when you came to the construction site are over, because you haven't explained the problem clearly yet, and we won't finish it if you don't shake off the dirty things on your body. Last time and

You hesitated to say some things during the conversation, maybe you had some concerns. Now I just want to ask you one question, what was your intention when you said those words in front of everyone? Did it come from your heart or who asked you to do that?

?”

When Li Xiaobao heard this, his calm heart became anxious again, especially the sentence "Who asked you to do this?" made him even more panicked. Who is it? It's Wang Wensi. This can't be said.

Although what he told me was different from the actual conditions at the construction site, how could he know how hard it was here before he came to the construction site? What he said to me was also for my own good. If he had said it, it would not have been a betrayal.

Is that true? A good man does what he does. If he doesn't tell Wang Wensi, how will he get through today's test? After pondering for a moment, he thinks it's better not to tell him. He drooped his head and muttered: "I...

…I just feel too tired to do it, no other reason.”

"Are you telling the truth?"

Li Xiaobao raised his head, glared, and said, "It's true. If I tell lies, I'll be struck by thunder!"

Li Xiaobao originally wanted to swear to silence what Li Minqiang wanted to ask, so that it would be difficult for the other party to ask further questions. But Li Minqiang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't stare and swear to death. You said you would do it."

No, this is neither right nor wrong. I believe that it is difficult to work hard because you have been in school and participated in labor and lacked exercise. But you also have to think about it, is this the fundamental reason why you want to run away? Yes

He said that Xiao Minghui is younger than you and half a head shorter than you. Zhang Yiming from Zhangzhuang Village is not as strong as you. Why can't you do what others do? When he works, he sweats even in a small coat.

, but you, wearing a thick cotton jacket and cotton trousers, are still so cold that your neck shrinks. Can this be said to be just a problem of low strength? The key is to see whether you have the ambition of a young person. Because you are afraid of hardship and tiredness, others

He just wants to use this in you to achieve his purpose. If you said you couldn't do it, then why did you drag Xiao Minghui along with you? "

Li Minqiang's words not only made Li Xiaobao unable to answer correctly, but also made him frightened. Do you also suspect that I am interfering with and sabotaging the construction of the reservoir? If I wear this hat, it will be worse than a few slaps! He can't sit still, and his butt is like

He sat on the tribulus tree and looked at Li Minqiang with straight eyes without saying a word.

Li Minqiang continued: "Don't stare in vain. I know who asked you to do this even if you don't tell me. But I have to remind you. As the saying goes, you can't make arrows with crooked wood, and you can't make friends with crooked hearts.

.When you interact with people, you have to be careful in your mind. You should listen to good things, but not bad things!"

When Li Xiaobao heard this, he couldn't hold it in anymore: "Let's talk about basins and bowls, what else are we talking about! I am responsible for my own work. Why should I blame others? Besides, people

He's a village cadre, so is it right for me not to listen to what the village cadres say? Don't scare people, no matter how stupid I am, I won't know how to rely on others."

"Evaluating whether a person is good or bad depends on different perspectives and different thoughts and understandings, and there will be different results. To judge whether a person's character is good or bad, you must see whether what he says and does is in the interests of the majority of people.

, is it conducive to the construction of the reservoir? Since you are ideologically different from everyone else, you have a different understanding of good and bad. You regard good as bad, bad as good, and wrong as right.

It makes you farther and farther away from the fire, and the gap between you and everyone will become wider and wider. You have to think carefully about how to do this, and you can't go on like this."

Li Minqiang's words touched Li Xiaobao. He also realized that he was wrong and that what Wang Wensi said to him was not right. But he couldn't say what Wang Wensi said. He knew that Wang Wensi was ruthless. If I said it, let him know.

If you don’t hate me to death, you will definitely retaliate against me everywhere when you return to the village and give me little shoes to wear? Don’t even think about telling me about your wife. What’s more serious is that if you tell the truth, when Li Minqiang returns to the village and asks Wang

Wensi, Wang Wensi refuses to admit his crime and has no evidence to prove it. Doesn’t this mean that he is telling lies? If Li Minqiang and Wang Wensi start fighting again, the matter will become even bigger. Besides, he is a village cadre, what will be the consequences if he tells a lie?

Isn't it just holding the lice on one's head to cause trouble? He couldn't say it. He made up his mind. So he said: "Brother Minqiang, please stop talking. I realize that it is all my fault. I will go back and tell Brother Mingkun and Ming

Hui apologizes. I will work hard in the future and use as much force as possible, okay?"

Li Minqiang felt happy when he saw that Li Xiaobao had some understanding. At the same time, he knew that Li Xiaobao still had some concerns, so he stopped asking questions. It is impossible for a person's mind to be fully understood after one or two works, so he said: "Okay! I

I believe what you say. People are not afraid of making mistakes. Just correct them. There are some things that you don’t say or dare not say, so I won’t force you. Fire can’t be contained in paper, and people can’t be buried in snow. I will understand it sooner or later.

.”

Li Xiaobao smiled.
