Chapter 171: Three Views Differentiated
Chen Bin slapped Wang Yuanchao on the shoulder and said unhappily:
"Hey, kid, you are looking down on your brother, why do we say this between brothers?
Is there a rift between you and me?"
Wang Yuanchao said with a wry smile:
"Brother Binzi, this is not a matter of estrangement. If we were estranged, I would not ask you for help. But you have already helped me a lot. I cannot ask you to use your own money to subsidize me. Besides, you know that I get a government subsidy every month. I have no place to spend money in the Red Flag Brigade, so I am not short of money. How can I ask you to subsidize me?"
Chen Bin waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Okay, let's go to my brother's house and have a couple of drinks with me. Let's not talk about money.
If you have a chance to get some game in the future, just send me some. My brother’s family is short of meat, okay?”
Wang Yuanchao nodded when he heard this. It was just an idea for him to get game, so he said, "Okay, Brother Binzi, we have a lot of game in the Red Flag Brigade. I will send you some game frequently to improve your food."
"Okay, that's it. I'll treat you to a delicious feast when the time comes, haha."
"Hey, Brother Binzi, why are you being so polite? I often trouble you and I'm just worried that I can't help you. A little game is not a big problem for me who lives in the Red Flag Brigade at the foot of the mountain."
"Well, I know you are a popular guy in the Red Flag Brigade. I will trouble you when the time comes."
"Okay, Brother Binzi, just watch me."
After having lunch with Chen Bin in the county and buying five bags of milk powder at the county supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Yuanchao pedaled his bicycle until smoke came out all the way to the commune police station.
After sending Liu Chuan more than ten pounds of roe deer meat and sending the letter he had prepared to his parents and comrades-in-arms through the post office.
I pedaled my bike and started heading towards the Red Flag Brigade.
Suddenly, on the road, he met He Jianguo and Chen Aihua, each of whom was walking back with a sack on his back. Wang Yuanchao took the initiative to slow down and greeted them:
"Hi, He Zhiqing, Chen Zhiqing, have you just returned from the commune?"
"Hey, Captain Wang, did you just come back from the commune as well?"
"Well, I just went to the commune to send letters to some of my parents' comrades. These elders care about me too much. If I don't send them letters, I'm afraid they will come to kill me soon, haha."
He Jianguo and Chen Aihua understood immediately, and naturally knew the power contained in this news. However, He Jianguo looked as if he didn't understand anything, and said with a smile:
"Aihua and I bought some supplies at the commune and planned to go back to improve our food.
If you have nothing to do in the evening, how about coming to my house for a drink?"
Wang Yuanchao did not refuse the olive branch offered by He Jianguo, but said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll go to your house after work this afternoon and have a drink together.
Come to think of it, we have been educated youth together for such a long time, but we have never had a drink together. "
"Haha, that's fine. I'll go to the sales outlet later and get some more wine. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight."
"Haha, forget it, we still have political class tonight. Anyway, let's just drink first and have fun."
"Okay, then let's do as Captain Wang says."
"Okay, then you guys go slowly, I'm going back to the Red Flag Brigade first."
Chen Aihua looked at Wang Yuanchao's back riding his bicycle with envy and said, "Hey, Brother Jianguo, it's good to have a bicycle.
Look at Wang Yuanchao. He can go wherever he wants by bicycle. It is convenient for him to go anywhere.
Unlike us, we walk to the commune and our legs are broken."
He Jianguo nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, we do need a bicycle for convenience. Let's think about it after we get back."
"Well, but we are going to entertain Wang Yuanchao tonight. Should we take out the fish, meat and chicken we bought?"
"Since it's a treat, we can't lose face, right? It's not like we don't have any. We should use it for the treat. We shouldn't let people look down on us, right?"
"Brother Jianguo, it's hard to get meat tickets now. We've taken out so much meat at once. These supplies of ours can't be seen in public. If we just take them out like this to entertain Wang Yuanchao, aren't you afraid that he'll find out something fishy?"
"Hey, buying some supplies on the black market is nothing. During the difficult years a few years ago, the government turned a blind eye.
We can use this opportunity to test Wang Yuanchao's character and see if he is worthy of our association. What do you think?"
Chen Aihua walked forward with the sack on his back. After thinking for a while, he said, "That's fine. In our current situation, if we don't want to stay in the village and work hard, we have to take some risks.
Based on our observations over this period of time, Wang Yuanchao is a relatively upright person, not the kind of person who would torture others to death. Even if he finds out something fishy about our supplies, at most he would just scold us. There shouldn't be too much risk, so we can give it a try."
He Jianguo nodded confidently and said:
"That's it. Originally, Wang Yuanchao and I were the same kind of people, but our family is in trouble now. Although Wang Yuanchao has no adults at home, he has some uncles and aunts to take care of him. Although his life is easier than ours, we are the same kind of people after all, and it is easier to get along with each other. Wang Yuanchao's character can be seen from the training in the army.
As long as we pay attention to organizational discipline, it is not difficult to get along with him. "
"Yes, although I am annoyed by his words about discipline and justice, we have heard such words since we were young, so it is not unacceptable. It's just that I think it will be difficult to get his support for some of our ideas."
He Jianguo squinted his eyes and smiled like a little fox, and said:
"When I met Wang Yuanchao, I never thought that he would support some of my ideas and practices.
What matters to me is that if in the future we really need help with something extremely important, he would lend us a hand because of our friendship, that would be enough.
As for recognition and support? I don’t expect that. ”
"Ah, since we have decided to date him, why don't we just bring him into our circle?"
He Jianguo looked at the simple-minded Chen Aihua and shook his head with a sigh, but now the two of them are grasshoppers on the same rope, they prosper together and suffer together.
So He Jianguo said in a heavier tone:
"Aihua, it's hard for people with different values to be close to each other.
Moreover, the stupidest thing adults can do is to keep arguing with others about right and wrong.
If you are in a different position, it is better to say less. If you have different understandings, it is better to argue less. If you have different values, it is better not to sit at the same table.
When you are in this world and you see a dog about to eat shit, you must not try to stop it, otherwise it will think that you are trying to steal it and may even bite you back.
As for people, those who can change themselves are gods, and those who want to change others are psychopaths.
Let's just let it happen naturally, don't force it."
"Okay, Brother Jianguo, I'll listen to you."
