Zhao Ruilong messed with me? Zhao Lichun apologized and begged for mercy overnight
Chapter 18: Life-Changing
More than two hours later, the bus stopped at a county service station to let the passengers get off to use the toilet. The driver also got off to relax and smoke a cigarette.
After getting off the bus, Qi Tongwei called his childhood friend who worked in his hometown, Lingshan County.
"Brother Hua, I'm back today. I expect to arrive in the county town around six in the evening. Do you have time in the evening to call my brothers out for a get-together?" he said politely.
Zhang Jiahua is my neighbor, only two years older than me. He takes good care of me and almost treats me as his own brother.
"No problem, I'll pick you up at the bus station." The other party said after a moment's silence.
Qi Tongwei has lived two lives, so he naturally understands what this moment of hesitation means.
"Brother Hua, if it's inconvenient for you, then forget it." He said with a smile.
"It's convenient. Since you thought of me the first time you came back this time, I must arrange it for you." Zhang Jiahua said immediately.
Regardless of
"Okay, Brother Hua, we'll meet later." Qi Tongwei said with a smile.
If I remember correctly, Zhang Jiahua is now a chef in a restaurant in the county, and his income is considered relatively high in the village.
At around six o'clock in the evening, the bus arrived at Lingshan County Bus Station.
After getting off the bus, Qi Tongwei took his luggage bag, quickly walked to the door of the bus station, and called Zhang Jiahua.
"Awei, stop fighting, I see you." A tall man with a crew cut walked over.
Qi Tongwei looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, you look much more energetic."
Zhang Jiahua put his arm around Qi Tongwei's neck and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Daqing and the others are also working in the county now. They are waiting for you."
The people from Daqing he mentioned were basically Qi Tongwei’s childhood friends, people who grew up together, but they didn’t even finish junior high school and went out to work.
"This is great that we can all get together." Qi Tongwei said with some surprise.
Since everyone is here, this matter will be easy to handle.
Under the guidance of Zhang Jiahua, the two soon arrived at a home-style restaurant.
"I work here. Don't be fooled by the unimpressive decoration, but many people come here for my craftsmanship. It's almost always full during meal times on weekends," Zhang Jiahua said with some pride.
I started learning from a chef from the same village when I was fourteen years old. I served as both his apprentice and his dog. It took me five years of hardship to learn the real skills.
But now, with the spoon in my hand, I can not only support myself, but also support my parents.
Qi Tongwei didn't say much, but couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Xiao Zhang, quickly take your brother to the private room upstairs. Director Zhang has reserved a table for seven o'clock." said the lady boss working the cashier at the front desk.
"Okay, Sister Mei, right away." Zhang Jiahua said quickly with a smile.
He pulled Qi Tongwei to the second floor and said apologetically, "I guess I will be busy until around eight o'clock. You can chat with Daqing and the others in the private room first. I'll make you a bowl of beef fried noodles to fill your stomach. I'll let you taste my cooking skills later in the evening."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the private room, inside which sat three young men in their early twenties and a slightly immature girl.
"Awei is here. You guys treat him well first. I'll go downstairs to get busy." He said to Daqing and others inside.
"Wei Ge, long time no see." Daqing, who had dyed yellow hair, said with a smile.
Qi Tongwei nodded, then looked at Zhang Jiahua and said, "Brother Hua, you go and do your work first. I'm not hungry. I'll eat with the brothers later."
"Okay, I'll go first." Zhang Jiahua said with a smile.
The work in this hotel is very important to him now.
After Zhang Jiahua left, Qi Tongwei also entered the private room with his luggage bag and sat at the dining table.
"Daqing, it seems you are doing well." He said with a smile.
Among the people present, only Daqing dyed his hair, which made him stand out.
"It's okay." Daqing said with a smile.
Qi Tongwei smiled, then looked at the girl next to him and said, "Xiao Jing, why aren't you studying?"
If I remember correctly, Zhang Xiaojing is only seventeen years old and is still in the third year of junior high school.
"Wei Ge, I'm not as smart as you. I can't continue my studies. It would be a waste of money to continue studying." Zhang Xiaojing explained.
Qi Tongwei obviously didn't believe this. During the Chinese New Year two years ago, Zhang Xiaojing's parents even praised her for her good grades.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood where the problem lay.
"Is your younger brother also studying and there is not enough money at home?" he asked in a deep voice.
Under the national policy of compulsory education, the tuition fees for primary and junior high schools are not much, but the tuition fees for high schools have increased several times. An average family in my village basically cannot afford to send two children to school.
"Xiao Jing, is this what you said to Wei Ge? If so, we brothers would definitely be willing to support your studies." Daqing said.
After six or seven years in society, he has realized the importance of academic qualifications, and naturally does not want his sister, who he has watched grow up, to suffer any more grievances.
"That's right, Xiaojing, we can help relieve some of the pressure on your family." said another long-haired young man.
"No, it's me who doesn't want to study. If I continue to study, my father will have to go to work in another place, and my mother and grandmother will be too busy with the farm work at home." Xiaojing explained.
When Qi Tongwei heard this, he couldn't help but start recalling his past experiences, especially his two lives as a human. This experience was particularly impressive in his heart, and he didn't want the people around him to follow the same path as in their previous life.
"Xiao Jing, I hope you can continue your studies, try to get into college, and go to a big city to have a look. After I graduated from college, I was assigned to work in the provincial public security bureau."
Why not mention the Public Security Department? Because they may not understand it, the Public Security Bureau is easier to understand.
When Daqing, who was standing by, heard this, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Brother Wei, you are an official now?"
After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Xiaojing's tears silently flowed from the corners of her eyes and she cried silently.
I have been working as a waiter in a big hotel for two months. I have suffered a lot of grievances, but I dare not tell my family, for fear that they will worry.
I miss the days when I was studying in school, that carefree life.
