Xia Tian walked out of the school gate and found that he had nowhere to go.

He bought cigarettes and fire at the canteen, crossed the road in front of the door, stood on the opposite street and looked back at the gate of the No. [-] Middle School. The sun was scorching hot in the midsummer afternoon, and it took him a while to get a little headache from the sun.

I lit a cigarette and took a few puffs irritably, but unfortunately there was no mint flavor, and my mouth was very uncomfortable after smoking.

His mind seemed to be full of smoke, he tried his best to smoke for a while, and heard a small shop on the side of the road turn on the loudspeaker, and a burst of loud music came menacingly.

——"The world we live in is like a garbage dump. People are like worms, and you scramble for it here. What they eat is conscience, what they pull is thought..."

He Yong's voice is clear and sharp, and it is a piece of "Junkyard" that Xia Tian is familiar with.

The street was bustling with people, passers-by hurried past him, some were talking about benefits, some were talking about trivial right and wrong, it was really inseparable from scrambling and grabbing.Xia Tian frowned ferociously, guessing that his current expression should be a bit like a newspaper office.

He kicked down the innocent trash can as if venting his anger, the movement was a bit loud, and happened to pass by a pair of grandparents behind him, the little boy was carrying a schoolbag, he was startled by him, and looked at him with the eyes of a legendary villain After a glance, the little short legs obviously quickened their pace.

In the next second, it was almost ready to run.

Scaring a kid who is not as tall as his waist like this, is this his ability to retaliate against society?So fucking promising!

Xia Tian stubbed out the cigarette, threw it into the trash can, and leaned against the tree, trying to calm himself down.Now is not the time to be cynical, he has to find a way out for himself.

The ending might not be that bad, maybe even worse than he imagined, who knows, the times are different, people now have less freedom, more shackles, and are still in the stage of dancing with shackles.How can I stop the loss?The possibility of going to Xia Shanhe to testify is too small. On one side is his wife and on the other side is his son who is not very close. That indifferent man seems to have a kind of insensitive nature. What's more, what can Xia Shanhe do? Let him go to the provincial capital to explain ?Who has the patience to receive him!

There is also Chen Fan, she can be regarded as an educated person, but she has never heard that she has a particularly good relationship with any leader, and at first glance, Chen Fan is not the type of person who is good at making friends. Looking for Chen Fan, he always felt that he couldn't pass the test in his heart.

As for Gao Jianfeng... I have already involved him enough, Gao is not omnipotent, let alone used to make things right for him.If liking someone just keeps making trouble for him, then this kind of liking is too selfish and cheap.

The promise to be strong has not yet been fulfilled, but he always hopes to be comforted by the other party when he is helpless. He sneered and thought, Student Xia, do you dare to ask for some more face? !

In the huge Xijing, he knew very few people, so he counted on his fingers, and soon he counted Peng Haoguang and his brothers.

If he doesn't want a school in the future, he will have to find a job first, and going to Peng Haoguang is a good choice.But what they want are technicians. He doesn't have a diploma, so of course he can only start from the bottom. This is the reality, and he has to accept it if he doesn't accept it. Keep yourself?

But he couldn't help it. After all, this was the next best thing to do.Xia Tian remembered that Peng Haoguang was negotiating with the municipal government to build a new factory building, and the company was a profit-tax enterprise in the city last year, and he had a wide network of contacts.

A thought popped up at this moment, should I take a gamble?If you are successful, you will be flat from now on, if you are not successful, you should find a way out for yourself.

It took Xia Tian five seconds to weigh it, and quickly cast aside the disdain for the little calculation in his heart, turned around and jumped on a bus.

Gao Jianfeng was sitting in the classroom, but the chemistry teacher did not listen to a word of the questions analyzed.The seat on the right was empty, as if he was not used to it. He would never sit upright in class in summer, and sometimes he would look at the blackboard lazily with his head propped up, his head turned slightly to his side, and every time he glanced at In the past, I always felt that Xia Tian was looking at me from time to time.

There's no flickering attention now, and 45 minutes seems to be missing something.

Where did this guy go? Gao Jianfeng thought back to the scene just now, and felt that he saw it clearly. When Xia Tian walked out of the office, there was indeed a moment of weakness, and then he struggled to maintain a glimmer of calmness. Want to tell Xia Tian, ​​what a big deal, he can think of a way for him again.

Li Yanan's elder brother works in the Provincial Department of Education and is the leader's right-hand secretary. If he reports the situation, things may turn around.Of course, Gao Jianfeng wasn't sure if he could do it, so he couldn't rashly give Xia Tian hope, and this "uncle" wasn't close after all, he didn't usually have any contact with them.

Using the excuse of going to the bathroom, Gao Jianfeng slipped out of the teaching building and searched around the playground and corners, but there was no one there.It is impossible to really go to the infirmary in Xia Tian, ​​so it is probably out of school.So he ignored Uncle Zhang's astonishment and walked out from the main entrance.

With a quick glance, he saw Xia Tian standing against a tree across the road.

Unknowingly, the boy in the sun gave him a side face.The outline is deep, the eyebrows are quiet, and the posture and body shape are enough to be drawn into the picture. However, after a kind of precipitation around the body, I was immersed in the silence of the bone marrow. Although it was only a few seconds, Xia Tian immediately stood up straight and glanced back at the car that was about to enter On the bus, the lingering sadness that lingered on his body was swept away, and he jumped on the bus briskly.

On the empty bus, Gao Jianfeng watched Xia Tian go to the back through the window, and chose a seat by the window to sit down, the line of his side face and jaw looked extremely firm.

We agreed to come back from the next class. Is this going for a drive in the car?Gao Jianfeng sighed. Fortunately, Xia Tian was in a normal mood. He decided to go back first, and then call Li Yanan and his brother after school.

Xia Tian had been to Peng Haoguang's company before. Mr. Peng was busy with business today, and there were always people in the office. After waiting for more than 40 minutes, Peng Haoguang sent the guests out, and then greeted Xia Tian who stood up and nodded to him.

"What brought you here? No class today?" Peng Haoguang led him into the office and asked, "What do you drink, black tea or green tea?"

Xia Tian didn't care to drink tea, and said what he had already thought about when he came: "There are classes, but they are all intensive training, and it's the same for doing the questions by yourself. After the exam on the 9th, the school will take half a month off to review by myself, I want to ask , is it convenient for me to come to your place to start a job at that time?"

"Hey, why do you sound so anxious?" Peng Haoguang smiled, leisurely brewed a cup of green tea and handed it to him, "Well, let's get rid of the anger first, it's very hot, and then it's easy to get sick. "

Xia Tian said thank you, and just thinking about getting angry, Peng Haoguang laughed and said, "You have a bump on your forehead."

Stretching out his hand to touch it, really, it's just so much effort, even the bag is bulging, Xia Tian can't help but smile slightly.

"I'm in a hurry," Peng Haoguang asked with a smile, "Is it because you want to come here too much, or because you lack money?"

"Both," Xia Tian replied without hesitation, "If my business is doing well in the future, can Mr. Peng formally take me in."

"Tsk, Mr. Peng?" Peng Haoguang blew on the hot air from the cup, his expression condensed in the dense white mist, "It's time for your two-model results to come out, didn't you do well in the exam?"

"It's okay, 667." Xia Tian answered truthfully.

Peng Haoguang: "That's not bad. There is nothing wrong with going to the first-rate school and second-rate major you chose for love. I have to worry about it. Are you going to let go and make some money first?"

Xia Tian lowered his eyes, and was stunned by the needle, and his emotions were naturally revealed: "It's hard to say, grades are not the most important thing, if I don't have a degree, I can also work steadily and slowly, Brother Peng, can you not dislike me?" Me?"

Peng Haoguang looked at him, and asked after a while, "What happened?"

The two looked at each other, and he continued: "You come to me, you must trust me, you are so in a hurry, it is not right, you are such a stable person before, tell me, what happened?"

There is no need to speak dark words in front of people of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Tian has said everything in detail, and he even explained his thoughts about beating people at that time. He didn't want to gain sympathy, and at the same time he felt that there was no other way to go except to use violence. He also said: "The approach is radical. I must pay the price for this. I agree, but it is not the current level of price."

Peng Haoguang pondered for a while: "Then if you do it again, would you still do it?"

Xia Tian thought for a while: "Yes, I can't think of any other way, and I can't let others bully me and not fight back."

"Still, how can young people be called men if they don't have a little fire?" Peng Haoguang smiled. Your school is good enough, at least you have to appeal, the school leaders haven't fought for the interests of the graduates?"

After Xia Tian finished speaking, he understood his position, so he asked with a smile: "So I really have nothing to ask for, Brother Peng, can I have a meal?"

"No, it's still too early to say that." Peng Haoguang frowned and thought for a moment, "You don't really intend to give up, you're not like you."

"You have to bow your head under the eaves of others. You have to be more pragmatic." Xia Tian was half-true and half-true, and he was somewhat helpless when he said this. "I want to explain, but people have to believe one-sided words."

Peng Haoguang hummed: "There are probably other tricks here. The people from the Education Committee can't blame you, and your stepmother. Why are they selling her so much face? Who is she? Anyway, something happened by chance, you just I became that unlucky guy. But we can't be unlucky ones, I still count on you to do research and development for me in the future, and I don't plan to hire you as a handyman. If we want to talk about this, we can think of a way."

Xia Tian raised his heart, and asked after a while: "Thank you for understanding, but, you just believe what I said, what if... what if I lied to you?"

Peng Haoguang was happy: "Brother, how old are you, I'm going to be coaxed by you, so I don't need to open this company."

That's what he said, but Peng Haoguang didn't blindly trust Xia Tian because of his good feelings. He later learned from Peng Haowei that Xia Tian and Du Jie's family were not relatives at all. Paying a deposit to go through the formalities, comforting and releasing Du Jie, Peng Hao told him all these things, both brothers felt that this child was very righteous and good-hearted, and that he was able to take such good care of people who had nothing to do with him, which showed that he had a good character.

At most, it’s a little cautious. When encountering difficult things, I come to test myself, but I’m too embarrassed to ask for help. Of course, it’s understandable for the teenager’s self-esteem to cause trouble.

Peng Haoguang was about to say something, when the secretary knocked on the door and came in to remind him, "It's time to go. Secretary Zhao over there said that he will leave in a while."

Xia Tian hurriedly stood up: "Then I won't bother you, you will be free later..."

"Let's go," Peng Haoguang stood up and took his shoulders. "It's dinner time. I don't think you want to go back. Why don't you just accompany brother to have a meal and meet the people on the scene? Let's relax. I'll see you soon." How to introduce, you just follow my words and continue."

I was a bit confused, but looking back on Xia Tian afterwards, I think this "confused" can be regarded as an unexpected adventure.

Peng Haoguang made an appointment with a deputy mayor, surnamed Guan Minghai, who was in charge of the city's medical care and education.Deputy Mayor Guan wants to talk to Peng Haoguang about taking over an old state-owned pharmaceutical factory. That factory is currently on the verge of bankruptcy and mainly produces Chinese patent medicines. With more and more imported and western medicines being launched in the past two years, Chinese patent medicines have been squeezed out. There is no market for it, but from the perspective of protection, you can't just watch it fall. Then the deputy mayor remembered that there is still a young talent in this city, Peng Haoguang.

Peng Haoguang is asking him to reduce or exempt taxation, and to have more preferential policies.The two have their own requests, but the deputy mayor's request is obviously more urgent.

There were only four people at the dinner, including the secretary of the mayor. Peng Haoguang and Guan Hai seemed to be old friends. There was no scene of persuading and toasting. The atmosphere was very civilized, and the conversation gradually entered Hong Kong. Your little cousin is still in high school, what’s the matter, he’s going to take over your company in the future and sell it to you completely?”

"I like this job myself, so I'll throw my temper at you." Peng Haoguang turned the table around and turned a piece of fish in front of Guan Hai, "The child is pretty good, with good grades, and he can rank in the No. [-] Middle School. It's just a family matter. It's annoying."

As he spoke, he took his time and told Xia Xia's story as if he was telling social news. There was a lot of embellishment in it, and he described his stepmother with no lower limit according to his own imagination. Of course, he did not wrong Ding Xiaoxia.

"It is said that if you lose your etiquette, you will find it in the wild, but now you don't even pay attention to the countryside." Peng Haoguang said, "Hey, I don't know you. My elder brother would go to the countryside to jump in the queue. He said that the countryside is still very simple, but he can't get rid of it." It’s hard to say that it’s not too late to open up without profit, it’s not too big of a deal just to watch the excitement.”

Guan Hai hummed very reservedly: "It's a bit of a nonsense, Baima Village is under the jurisdiction of XX City, I have a colleague who just transferred there, Baima Baima, the name is good, I remember reading the county records There's also an anecdote."

He mumbled for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "I used to have a classmate, a girl, and we both went to the Experimental Middle School. At that time, the Experimental Middle School and your No. [-] Middle School were the best in the province. Instead, she was passed out by No. [-] Middle School. That female classmate went to the countryside to Baima Village, and after I was transferred back to the city, I asked someone to look for her, but I heard that she was gone."

He said and sighed: "Her parents are old people from Yejinkou. The old couple are very nice. I went to their house for dinner. The old lady is from Huizhou, and the fish they cook is very delicious. It's a pity, Then the whole family broke up."

Peng Haoguang picked up the wine glass at the right time and touched him: "After remembering the bitterness, let's think about something sweet, so it's important to live in the present, come on, let's respect life."

Xia Tian also had a drink with him, thinking about what he said just now, put down the glass, and tried to ask: "Is the female classmate you mentioned just now called Chen Jin?"

Guan Hai was a little surprised: "Yes, it's Chen Jin..."

He nodded, stopped suddenly, and looked at Xia Tian's face carefully: "I said that this child looked familiar just now, are you Chen Jin's son?"

Xia Tian knew that the opportunity came just like this due to some coincidence. For a moment, he sincerely thanked the "mother" who had never met, "Yes, it's a pity that my mother passed away early, and I don't have a deep impression of her."

"This is the son of an old friend." Guan Hai sighed, "How many years, almost 20 years, and I haven't seen him since we parted. Your mother was a good student and beautiful, very proud. Many of our boys Don't dare to talk to her, hey, why didn't you say it earlier."

"Don't talk about it, maybe it was because he was too strong and depressed in his heart, so he died young." Peng Haoguang sighed and said, "It's much worse to let the stepmother take care of it. I didn't say that, many lesbians have become Why can't the stepmother be level with a bowl of water, of course there are good ones, it just depends on whether you can catch up or not."

Guan Hai was immersed in certain memories, and upon hearing this, he asked Xia Tian: "Your stepmother treats you badly, doesn't your father care?"

"He works in the coal washing plant in the county, and sometimes he is too busy." Xia Tian said, "He is not very clear about many things."

Guan Hai was silent for a while: "That's really a bit of nonsense, why does Zhang Rong have such a face!"

Zhang Rong is the name of the principal of the No. [-] Middle School. From the voice, Guan Hai seemed to feel that the principal did not protect his students enough, and sure enough he continued: "The college entrance examination is coming soon, and you are still tossing the students. The people in the education committee are full, right? Mess and gossip, together with this kind of people-mongering ethos, shouldn’t be there, it’s a complete mess! Who is responsible for this?”

Secretary Zhao leaned over and said, "I'll call tomorrow morning to ask clearly."

Guan Hai: "You tell Lao Tan directly, ask him to revoke the document, and check it later. You must put an end to partial listening and partial belief. Can such a big matter for young people be taken as a trifle?"

Because of a former relationship, a benefit that needs to be resolved urgently, with just a few words, it completely resolved the hopeless situation that seemed to Xia Tian a few hours ago like the sky collapsing.

In a society ruled by man, success is also the same, and failure is also the same, but how "useful" rights are, Xia Tian has finally felt deeply so far.

As an unknown person, Guan Hai might not remember him after the incident, but this night, Xia Tian still respected him a few times as a junior in a grateful mood. While drinking, Guan Hai suddenly realized something was wrong. He stared at Peng Haoguang and asked: "Didn't you say that he is your relative? When did you have a relationship with the old Chen family? Why didn't I know?"

Peng Haoguang didn't take it seriously, and smiled sloppily: "Anyway, the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple. If I knew there was a female classmate you never forget, I wouldn't call it my relative."

The two immediately laughed, and Peng Haoguang winked at Xia Tian in his busy schedule, signaling him to relax, prepare for the college entrance examination, and come back to work for him later.

Peng Haoguang really thought so. After the meal, he said it unequivocally: "Hurry up and go back and review with peace of mind. After the exam, we will talk about other things. It is not easy to cultivate a talent. I am here to catch big fish with a long line. Don't you?" Treat yourself like a small shrimp, and just want to sell it at a cheap price, come on, I'll send you back first."

Xia Tian was relieved, remembering that his motives were impure at the beginning, Peng Haoguang was still enthusiastic, and he felt a little embarrassed, "There is still a car at nine o'clock, I can go back by myself, brother Peng, thank you today."

"You're welcome, just don't let me down." Peng Haoguang got into the car, rolled down a section of the window and said with a smile, "Although you have let me down once because of love."

Watching the car drive away, Xia Tian also laughed, this day seemed to be a roller coaster ride, with ups and downs, twists and turns, he didn't have time to think about his "love", now thinking that he didn't go back all afternoon, it was considered a harm to others Gao Jianfeng asked for leave in vain.

In the evening, Gao Jianfeng took fruits and snacks to the house he should call "uncle" politely. Uncle is also enthusiastic. As the leader's secretary, he actually has some influence, but he is different from Li Yanan. Be cautious, already smelling that someone is trying to trick people here, so I only left a word for Gao Jianfeng, saying that I will try my best to do it.

After all, Gao Jianfeng couldn't force it because he had a quick meal and came out of the house. He still couldn't worry about Xia Tian. That gloomy but firm side face seemed to be burned in his mind, and he would always linger on it. Not going, he called Li Yanan and said that he would stay in the dormitory for one night, and hurried back to school.

When climbing over the wall, he couldn't help thinking, he is really a worrying person, thanks to his ability to pretend, others look at him as if he doesn't care about anything, but if he had a good look, he would probably have a forehead tattoo Bar.

Gao Jianfeng didn't enter the dormitory, he still stood by the window until he finished smoking the third cigarette, and the people he was waiting for walked upstairs and came back.

Xia Tian didn't expect Gao Jianfeng to be here at all, and when he met him, he was stunned. Afterwards, because he let go of the burden in his heart, he was relieved, and his sense of joy immediately revived in place - the person he most wanted to see was actually in the in front of you.

Whether this is extremely good or not, the so-called blessing and misfortune, the ancients really had great wisdom and never deceived themselves!

"Why are you here, waiting for me?" Xia Tian greeted him, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably raised.

I'm in a good mood, are you putting on a show?As he approached, Gao Jianfeng frowned: "Have you been drinking?"

summer:"……"

Is there such a big smell?Even if he doesn't have it in his mouth, he still has it on his body, but he can't smell it himself. Gao Jianfeng has a good nose, but he doesn't think he's drinking to relieve his worries, does he?

"I……"

"What's the matter? As for?" Gao Jianfeng didn't wait for Xia Tian to finish speaking, he raised his voice and interrupted. He spoke so fast that there was no room for anyone to intervene, "I wanted to tell you at the door of the office, it will definitely be resolved, it's so ridiculous Do you think this can happen? Can the principal do it? Besides, what’s the big deal, there will always be a second copy, and I will take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future. All roads will lead to it. You are gold and can shine anywhere.”

Whether it is gold, Xia Tian does not know, but he saw light in Gao Jianfeng's eyes, as if God said, there must be light, so there is light...

You are the shining gold, Xia Tian looked at him and thought, Gao Jianfeng said "what a big deal" like a mantra, but he didn't know how long he stood here, waiting for him with so much worry.

Had he ever been so worried before making an appointment to jump into the ice hole?During the process of being questioned by the police, have you ever robbed white without composure?Did you show any anxiety and indignation when you were imprisoned with injuries?

Not at all. For Gao Jianfeng, facing those experiences that have been spread on his own head, he can always hang one corner of his mouth and say "what a big deal" nonchalantly.

Now he's giving it to himself, without even realizing that all the "cool" he'd carefully pretended to be is gone.

Still say it's just brothers?Xia Tian looked at him deeply, no matter what, his kindness and concern for him had already surpassed the boundaries of ordinary friends, but he didn't know it yet...

"I drank, but I didn't drink it myself. I went to meet a big guy with someone tonight. It was fun. I'll tell you about it later." Xia Tian said with a smile, "That matter can probably be resolved. I'm sorry , I forgot to tell you when I left."

Gao Jianfeng didn't quite understand, looked at him and said, "All right, I'll give you 15 minutes to tell the story of the night clearly."

Xia Tian nodded and smiled, raised his face, but didn't speak, he looked at the face in front of him that he never tired of seeing, and his expression softened unconsciously: "Before I say it, I have a request."

Gao Jianfeng's patience was about to run out, so he held back and raised his eyebrows: "Say."

"Can you... give me a hug?"

Xia Tian said with a smile, his eyes didn't dodge at all: "In the afternoon, I thought, if only someone could give me a hug, I think so now. Just give me a hug, okay?"
