"Brother, please save me, save me. I know I was wrong! I can't go to jail!"
When Wang Xinguang saw Lao Du come in, he immediately pleaded.
“Why can’t you go to jail?”
Comrade Lao Du asked calmly.
"I am the breadwinner of my family. I want to make money. I don't want to go to jail..."
Wang Xinguang said incomparably.
"You're the breadwinner of the family and you want to make money? So you're going to rob your brother and me of our shop? I need to make money too! I have to support my family too!"
"Brother, this is the last time I'll call you brother! From now on, we're done with each other. Don't look for me anymore, and I won't look for you either!"
"Du Jianye, you can't do this! I'm your brother! You have to save me! Go talk to the boss and ask him to let me go, okay? Ah, I won't bother you anymore, okay!"
When Wang Xinguang heard what Comrade Lao Du said, he suddenly broke down and yelled at Comrade Lao Du.
"Quiet! What are you doing?" Xiao Liu next to him couldn't stand it anymore, slammed the table and yelled at Wang Xinguang.
"Wang Xinguang, look at what you're like now! I've tolerated you time and time again, but all I've gotten is you getting worse! Forget it, I don't want to talk to you anymore, and we never want to meet again!"
After saying these words, Comrade Lao Du said hello to Xiao Liu and turned to leave.
"Don't go, Du Jianye, you bastard. I'm your brother, and you actually cheated me..."
Comrade Lao Du walked out of the interrogation room, and could still faintly hear Wang Xinguang's shouting and cursing.
"Lao Ding, come to my house for dinner tonight and have a drink!"
"Sure, I don't have to be on duty tonight. What time?"
Old Ding asked happily when he heard about drinking.
"You can go there after get off work and bring your wife and kids along."
"Let's talk about it later..."
When Lao Ding heard someone calling him "wife", he immediately stopped talking. The main reason was that he tended to drink a lot, and if he brought his wife along, he would have to be controlled, so he would rather drink without her if possible.
"Okay, we agreed. Bring your wife and children with you so you don't have to do it at home."
"Lao Du, the kids and I are going back to the store first. You can continue chatting with Lao Ding."
Seeing that there was nothing to do now, Du Chen's mother prepared to go back to the store and prepare food and drinks for the evening.
"Okay, you and the child go back, and drive slowly."
…
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Du Chen's family was relatively peaceful during this month, except that Wang Xinguang's wife came to make trouble the next day. However, Lao Ding brought people over again, so Wang Xinguang's wife ran away in shame.
Later, Wang Xinguang's wife also asked someone to intercede, but was rejected by Comrade Lao Du. Anyway, they didn't plan to contact each other again, so let them break up. The Du Chen family had suffered enough.
"Second brother, tell me more about the repair shop."
After dinner that night, Du Chen was writing an article when Comrade Lao Du suddenly came over and said to Du Chen.
"Ah? Okay, Dad, have you thought about it?"
It has been a long time since the last time he talked about it. Du Chen was planning to mention it to his father again after some time, but he didn't expect that his father would take the initiative to bring up this matter today.
"Well, after you told me last time, I thought about it and felt that it was something that could be done. So why not ask you again?"
"Oh, Dad, it's nothing special. We've contracted a repair shop and hired two apprentices to take over the company's cars for repair. You can also take over any cars that other companies can't repair."
"Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple. Look around for repair shops. Do you think there's any business? Besides, your company has been wanting to sell its repair shop for a long time, so this is a good opportunity. And since your company is ready to sell, I'm sure other companies are thinking the same way. Are you trying to find some connections? Are you worried that other companies won't be able to get their cars?"
"Well, I'll go to the office tomorrow to ask about it."
Comrade Lao Du still feels a little guilty. His family has changed a lot in the past six months. He doesn't have to worry about his two sons at all now, and the store's income is also considerable. Life is not as tight as before.
But if he took on the repair shop, the family business would suddenly become too big, so he was still a little uneasy. However, the connection Du Chen mentioned was indeed a good one, and he also wanted to make more money. After all, no one thinks too much money is a problem.
"Dad, don't worry, it's okay. By the way, what's going on with Dad?"
Du Chen still didn't dare to call his father by his name in front of him. Although they no longer had any contact, he still had to pay attention as a junior.
"I don't know. I didn't ask. Why should I care?"
Comrade Lao Du said nonchalantly, it seemed that he had really let it go.
"Mom, how's the store doing lately?"
Seeing his mother finish cleaning and go into the house, Du Chen asked casually.
"Yes, I bought those two freezers last time. The weather is getting hotter, and popsicles and ice packs are selling especially well."
Du Chen's mother said with a smile.
Seeing this, Du Chen was very happy. What could make him happier than seeing his family's life getting better and better?
"Lao Du, you really like motorcycles, don't you? How about we go to the city and buy you a motorcycle when the kids are on summer vacation?"
"Forget it, I don't need it now."
Comrade Lao Du was tempted, but after thinking about it, he refused. First, it would not be of much use, and second, Comrade Lao Du was used to being careful, and buying a motorcycle for him would be too expensive.
"Mom and Dad, how about we go on a trip during the summer vacation?"
Du Chen made a suggestion.
"Travel is good. Let's go to Beijing. I was there when I got married with your father. I want to go again."
When it comes to traveling, Du Chen's mother becomes interested.
"Okay, Beijing is close too, let's go there and have a good time for a few days during the summer vacation." Comrade Lao Du also agreed.
At night, Du Bin, who was lying on the lower bunk, asked, "Chenchen, I just heard mom say that we are planning to go to Beijing for summer vacation?"
"Yeah, that's an idea. Do you want to go?"
"Nonsense! I haven't even been to Beijing yet. I want to see Tiananmen Square and watch the flag-raising ceremony!"
Du Bin said with anticipation.
"It's okay as long as you do well in the final exam. It depends on you. By the way, have you thought about what reward you want for the midterm exam?" Du Chen reminded Du Bin at this time.
"Not yet. I don't know what I want."
"Okay, I'll save it for you first. When you've made up your mind, tell me."
Du Chen hasn't been slacking off lately. His stories are quite popular, and he's currently earning 60 yuan per article. He can write two articles a month, so he's currently earning over 100 yuan per month, which makes Du Bin envious.
"Brother, what do you want to do in the future?" Du Chen suddenly wanted to ask at this time.
"What do you want to do... I don't know what I want to do..."
Du Bin hesitated and said he didn't know.
"Brother, you have to think about it slowly now. What about the high school entrance exam? Are you planning to go to a technical secondary school or go to high school and then go to university?"
"That depends on how many points I can get in the exam. I'll go to whichever school I can get into."
"Do you prefer technical secondary school or high school?"
