Chapter 493 Discovery and Learning

When Garton said why he buried a deceased relative in the front yard, the reporters had already thought of how to write this press release, and even thought of a lot of titles.

"Father's Love Like a Lamp"

"Father is a Door"

"The Man Buried in the Front Yard"

"Never Leave"

……

Heart-touching stories are always favorites of reporters. They like to dig out the flashes of humanity in such tragic stories, and it is precisely because of these flashes of humanity that readers can resonate.

Only when readers feel that they have been moved and have gained something new, will they write letters to the newspaper office, and will spontaneously promote this article, which will trigger heated discussions in the society, and thus will have advertisers willing to publish it in their newspapers. Advertise in your personal column.

Of course, some reporters feel that this is not enough "pain", but a story of a father who died at the hands of gangsters in order to protect his wife and children.

To be honest, it does meet the standard of propaganda, but every country has such a story more than once a year, and these reporters think that this story should be able to find more pain points!
You must know that they took great risks to come to a turbulent area definitely not to report these mediocre news. They also need some more valuable rewards and some more impactful news.

Someone asked Garton a question, "Were you by his side when he died?"

Garton was stunned for a moment, and almost everyone had a momentary blank mind, including Lynch.

He knew these reporters were fucked up, but he didn't think they could be fucked up to this level, but he recovered quickly.

He remembered an interesting story. In order to obtain first-hand information, a journalist stopped the medical staff from rescuing the injured in an accident, pulled out the oxygen mask of the injured, and asked him, "Do you know that your whole family Are you dead, how do you feel about it, do you want to cry?"

That survivor's only thought at the time was probably "Do I want to draft, three days and three nights, midnight, oh!"

Facing the reporter's question, some things in Garton's memory that he didn't want to recall came to mind again, Mr. Simon's indifference and ruthlessness, and the disgust and contempt in his eyes when he looked at Garton, all these and more What didn't show, contributed to his urge to pull the trigger.

His upper eyelids trembled, it was definitely not a sad expression, Lynch began to be a little interested.

"Yes, I'm not far from him, I don't want to..." Out of politeness and the presence of so many people watching, he still answered this question and planned to refuse to answer the following questions.

But the reporter didn't give him a chance, "Did you hug his body when he fell down, did you watch the blood flow out of him and onto you, did you get scared, did you call him to think?" To wake him up, how do you fight those gangsters, or kneel beside the father who died protecting you and beg them for mercy?"

Garton clenched his fists, but the reporters were very excited. They couldn't help giving a thumbs up to the tricky question raised by this colleague.

These questions are really tricky, not only opened up Garton's wound, but also drilled into it with a burning cigarette butt.

Someone inquired about the origin of this reporter, and when people heard that this reporter was from the "Federal Times" of the Baylor Federation, they suddenly showed a clear expression.

Unrestricted journalism is what they love most, but it is also attractive to those who are full of intellectual curiosity.

They didn't even know at this time that the author was ready to be beaten. Being beaten would make him more famous and make this report more attractive to people.

But it is a pity that Garton is a "Nagalier" after all. He has mixed blood, but he is still a Nagalier in his bones. He was born here and grew up here. He is a native of Nagali Seoul people.

This also gave him a natural awe of foreigners, even if he was half a foreigner himself.

He didn't do anything, just looked at the reporter a few more times, then shook his head, "I refuse to answer these questions, they will make me miserable!"

"Because you watched your father die in front of you helplessly, but you couldn't do anything?" The reporter friend still didn't want to let him go so easily, and chased after him.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little abnormal, Lynch stood up, "Although we pursue more truthful reports, we shouldn't rub salt in other people's wounds. Can we avoid similar issues?"

The reporter, who was looking forward to Garton shaking his fist at him, suddenly became obedient. He knew very well that Garton would beat him at most. For people like Lynch who have become the ruling class in the local area, when they get angry, they You will lose your life.

For the sake of his own life and the deposits in the bank, the reporter gave a flattering smile and bowed slightly, "Of course, Mr. Lynch, I am sorry for my reckless behavior just now. I want to cause this turmoil too much." Tell others about the tragedy, so that I ignore the mood of the person involved, sorry, Mr. Garton."

He also apologized to Mr. Garton, who was unable to attack and could only accept his apology with a nod.

This is also his character. Over the years, he has suppressed himself too tightly, and some things have gradually changed from a pretense to a habit, such as his manners.

A group of people entered the room and saw the hostess of the house, who was also a local woman.

She was kneeling on the side of the coffee table and preparing for the coming guests. When some people led by Lynch came in, the hostess immediately stood up, bent over, and lowered her head.

The status of women in Nagalil is pitifully low. Before Mr. Simon passed away, she was almost as low as a maid in this family. Now that Mr. Simon is dead, her status is at most as high as that of a housekeeper.

This is not to say that Garton is not good to his mother, he is actually very good to his mother, but in the traditional concept inherent in the locals, women have no status.

Even between husband and wife, the husband seldom treats his wife as a "family member", more like treating his wife as a free servant.

This is a common knowledge of the society, so the status of the hostess here will not be improved just because of Mr. Simon's death, unless she has a very prominent background.

After Lynch sat down, everyone else sat down too, and they wanted to talk about what happened before, what is happening now, and what will happen in the future.

Garton's mother, the hostess of the house, knelt beside Lynch again, and he was the most honored person here. According to tradition, she needed to make Lynch feel at home.

Garton's attention was quickly focused on the next conversation, "I inherited everything here, and I also feel the damage caused by this chaos. I hope more than anyone that the chaos can stay away from us."

"To achieve this, the first thing we need to do is to strengthen ourselves. This is the wish shared by me and the other members of that family. Only when we are all rich and strong can we avoid these problems..."

At this time, Garton actually still has a very traditional way of thinking about the world, including most people in the Youth Party.

They think that as long as the family becomes rich and able to receive education, the situation here will naturally improve.

To achieve this, economic development and industrialization must be mentioned, so Garton said "wealthy and strong" when he opened his mouth.

In fact, it cannot be blamed on who is right or wrong, he is still a young man after all.

Of course, what Garton wants to tell people is that from this moment on, everything here will be used and owned by him, and he is declaring his position.

"...I will start working again next time, I noticed..." He glanced at Lynch who was sitting aside, and smiled slightly, "Mr. Lynch's factory is recruiting more workers, this is actually a A good sign."

"I believe in Mr. Lynch's ability. He is optimistic about Nagalil, which shows that we really have the potential for development. Then why do we still want to leave or escape? Why don't we continue to build our home here?"

Garton put the main content on the next development, and Lynch didn't pay attention after listening for a while. The young man was a little surprised when he first saw it.

He looks very smart and can bear it, but looking at it now, he still lacks something special, a kind of aura. What he shows is what he tries his best to show people, not his essence.

This may sound confusing, but this is precisely the key difference between big businessmen and small traders.

When Lynch was a child, about six or seven years old, in the era he lived in, silkworm farmers would come to the school gate to sell silkworms in certain seasons.

These silkworm farmers will leave after selling out, which is hard for a large group of students. They only have silkworms but no mulberry leaves, so they can only watch the silkworms die one by one.

At that time, Lynch had a business mind. He used his vacation time to go to the Sericulture Research Institute to pick up mulberry leaves from other places and sell them at the school. He sold them for more than 20 yuan in just one day.

You must know that at that time, the monthly salary of an adult was only around [-] yuan.

The good times didn't last long, the school quickly confiscated his money and the whole school circulated a notice criticizing his behavior. Later, some people collected mulberry leaves to sell, but these people were students.

The biggest difference between them and Lynch is that Lynch can see wealth, while these people can only pick up what is left by others.

It was just like the young man in front of him, he was trying to show the results of his "learning". He, including those around him, thought he was very smart, and what he said made sense, but Lynch knew that this was just an illusion.

There are some things that cannot and cannot be learned.

　At that time, what people strictly guarded against, but now we ask our children to do it. The times are progressing, and the future will only get better and better. Just like a song sings, we are on the way to national rejuvenation, and the whole country On the soaring Kangzhuang Avenue.
