Chapter 2154

Under the light of the car lights, as the tall and thin figure got closer and closer, He Lijie seemed to have seen the figure of the person coming, and couldn't help calling out: "Uncle Da?"

"It's really you? Son, are you back?" The old man called Uncle Da hurriedly walked up to He Lijie, looked him up and down in front of him, and asked:

"Son, you... Since you have come to the Hejia Dam, why don't you go home and have a look?"

"I..." He Lijie seemed to be having trouble opening his mouth when he heard Uncle Yanda's words.

But the uncle named Uncle Da didn't seem to care. He also patted He Lijie on the shoulder and said with joy: "I just walked here all the way and saw the headlights on the side of the dam, so I came to have a look."

"I didn't expect it to be you? It's great. You probably haven't come back for many years."

As soon as Uncle Da finished speaking, he saw two policemen in uniform standing behind He Lijie, and his expression froze, a little at a loss.

Seeing this, He Lijie quickly explained: "Oh, these two police officers sent me here."

"Really?" The atmosphere at the scene seemed too weird, but Uncle Da couldn't tell what was wrong.

Seeing this, Gu Chen stepped forward and said, "Since Mr. He's hometown is here, it should be fine for you to stay here. Call your lover back later and tell her that you are at the He Family Dam, so she can rest assured."

Gu Chen considered that the old man who greeted He Lijie should be a resident of Hejiaba.

He Lijie and He Lijie should be regarded as old acquaintances, so it might be no problem for the two of them to stay together.

Thinking about it, Gu Chen prepared to go back.

But Uncle Da hurriedly stopped Gu Chen and said, "This police officer seems familiar."

"Really?" Gu Chen heard the words, but also smiled faintly: "Maybe I have a popular face."

"No, you have a star face. It seems that you have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while."

"Hehe, maybe you read it wrong." Seeing this, Lu Weiwei thought that the old man must have seen Gu Chen's promotional poster somewhere, so she said it casually.

But when the uncle saw Lu Weiwei, his eyes were slightly startled, and he fell into deep thought again for an instant.

It was also after repeated struggles that he finally explained with a smile: "Oh, I'm getting old, and my memory of many things is not very good."

"I have a little impression of this policewoman comrade. Since everyone is so destined, why not go back with me and go to my house for a cup of hot tea."

"No need, we..."

"Comrade police, it's really hard work for you to send Lijie here at night, go and have a cup of tea before leaving."

The old man also seemed to see the delicate relationship between He Lijie and the two policemen at the moment, but he didn't know how He Lijie provoked the policemen.

Therefore, in order to clarify the situation, I came up with this statement.

Seeing this, He Lijie persuaded Uncle Da: "You two police comrades, why don't you go over and have a cup of tea together. It's so cold, it's really hard for you two."

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei subconsciously glanced at Gu Chen.

At this moment, Gu Chen also wanted to know why He Lijie wanted to come to Hejiaba so much, so he agreed after thinking about it.

"That's fine, but the vehicle seems to be unable to drive the Hejia Dam."

"It's not far, come with me." Uncle Da said.

Gu Chen agreed after thinking about it.

After the car turned off, Gu Chen took off the flashlight and followed Uncle Da and He Lijie to the other side of the dam.

The residential area of ​​Hejiaba is not far from the dam. At the entrance to the residential area, there are many tall and neat fir trees on both sides of the road, which look like welcoming trees.

And Uncle Da kept holding He Lijie's hand, chatting with He Lijie as they walked: "Lijie, you have been in Shanghai for so many years, why have you never thought of coming back?"

"Uncle Da, I... I'm sorry for you, I didn't make a name for myself in the devil." How proud was He Lijie back then? But now He Lijie is bankrupt, obviously, he doesn't even have the confidence to speak.

Uncle Da seemed to see He Lijie's embarrassment, and then glanced at the two policemen behind him, and then asked He Lijie in a low voice: "Lijie, did you do something wrong? Why did the police send you to the police station?" Did you come here?"

"This..." Glancing at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei behind him, He Lijie also looked embarrassed, and then explained to Uncle Da:

"It's like this. My wife didn't find me. She didn't know where I was staying? So I called the police and wanted the police to find me back."

"Isn't it? Two police comrades found me and explained the situation to me, but now, I want to go back to our Hejiaba."

"So these two enthusiastic police comrades helped to send me here, but they just happened to meet you."

"So that's the case?" After knowing that He Lijie had done nothing wrong, Uncle Da felt relieved and continued to lead everyone to the residential area.

However, after everyone passed through the cedar tree areas on both sides, Gu Chen found that there was a large ruin on the right side, surrounded by weeds.

At this moment, He Lijie also suddenly stopped in his tracks, standing in front of the ruins, with sadness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Uncle Da also stood in front of He Lijie, and said with a smile, "This is the old site of our Hejiaba Primary School. The original building was too old, so it was demolished."

"Later, the higher authorities coordinated and merged our primary school in Hejiaba into Liujiaba Elementary School above, and expanded the campus there."

"Right now, the primary school at Liujiaba is well established, and all the children from our side go to their side..."

"Uncle Da, I'm sorry." Before Uncle Da finished speaking, He Lijie, who had already understood everything, suddenly had tears in his eyes.

He also didn't know He Lijie's current situation, so Uncle Da hurriedly reminded him: "Lijie, it's windy outside, what's the matter, come back to the room with me and talk about it?"

"En." Seeing this, He Lijie didn't say anything else, and continued to follow Uncle Da to a two-story building in front of him.

This building does not look high-end, it is an old building.

The building has been baptized by the years, and the walls are full of traces of the years.

When the old man pushed open the wooden door and invited everyone to enter the house together, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei discovered that the living room of the old man still kept the same decoration as it was decades ago.

The various murals are still the pictures of Eight Horses and Ten Marshals.

The calendars hanging on the wall were all presented by a certain rural cooperative bank.

Seeing all this, everyone seems to have traveled to another era.

"Uncle Da, after all these years, your family is still the same?" He Lijie said casually when he saw this.

Uncle Da grinned: "Well, the old house doesn't need much decoration, just live in it, but you, Lijie, what have you experienced in these years? Some time ago, I heard local young people discussing you .”

"Say you're the big boss, and you've been doing so well in Shanghai, you probably don't have time to come back and take a look."

"Uncle Da, I'm sorry." He Lijie, who was ashamed after hearing what Uncle Da said, took the initiative to explain:

"In the past few years, I really did well and made some money, but in the past few years, because of investment failure, all the money I made before has been lost."

"I have nothing now, and I don't even dare to come back. Why? I want to return to Hejiaba at night."

"Because... because I dare not come back during the day, I have no face to come back."

In the end, He Lijie had tears in his eyes, as if he had been greatly wronged.

On Uncle Da's side, it seemed unusually calm.

Looking at He Lijie's sad expression, he couldn't help wiping He Lijie's tears with his rough hand, and smiled jokingly:

"Damn, you're such an adult, still crying? If you don't make money, you don't make money. These years, business is not easy to do. Many people in our local area have not been doing well in recent years. Everyone is used to it."

"However, I haven't come back in the past few years. Also, I promised to rebuild the school site for Hejiaba Primary School, but I didn't do it."

"Today, Hejiaba Primary School no longer exists, and even merged into Liujiaba."

"But I know that our Hejiaba and Liujiaba are at odds with each other, and they are old enemies who have had grudges for many years."

"Now that Hejiaba has lost its primary school, Liujiaba must be very proud. It's all my fault."

"I know that everyone in Hejiaba hates me. They think I'm a white-eyed wolf, a fake good person who talks empty words. I deserve to die. I really deserve to die."

"Damn, don't say that." Seeing the two policemen in the living room, Uncle Da was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly handed the brewed tea to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei:

"You two, let's drink some hot tea first. It's very cold outside. Drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."

"Thank you, Uncle Da."

"Thank you, Uncle Da."

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei also thanked each other one after another, and then sat aside with hot tea, quietly eating melons, listening to the exchange between Uncle Da and He Lijie.

And He Lijie stopped pretending at the moment, and quietly began to communicate with Uncle Da about his experience.

Only then did Uncle Da figure out the cause of the incident, and then he realized that it was because of depression after bankruptcy that He Lijie ran away from home without a word and came to the bridgehead of the Second Riverside Bridge.

Fortunately, he was found by the police and sent to Hejiaba.

After hearing this, Uncle Da also smiled slightly, and couldn't help jokingly said: "Lijie, Lijie, you said that you are such an adult, why can't you let it go?"

"Back then, your parents died early, but you grew up eating all kinds of food from our Hejiaba."

"It's good to be yourself in everything, even if others feel angry and disgusted with you."

"But it's not because you're vulgar or vulgar, or because you're vulgar or wicked."

"It's just because you are different from them. Your existence is beyond their limited cognition. You have done a career far beyond ordinary people."

"And those people, they either stay away from you and belittle you, or they try to control you and assimilate you."

"Human nature is so irrational sometimes, people who can accept different people will always be a minority."

"But more importantly, what kind of person do we choose to be? Those who are full of heart are as good as others, do you understand?"

Uncle Da seems to be a cultural person, and he is also very particular about his speech.

But just as He Lijie was about to agree, he heard the motor of an electric car outside the door.

As the footsteps fell, a middle-aged man in a delivery uniform pushed the door open and entered.

But when he walked through the door, he realized that there seemed to be many guests in the living room.

The middle-aged man in the takeaway clothes was also stunned, and when he saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei sitting there drinking tea, his expression was also blank.

But when he saw He Lijie sitting next to Uncle Da, the middle-aged man suddenly had a serious expression, and said in a bad mood:

"He Lijie? What are you doing here?"

Looking back at the door, and then at He Lijie, the middle-aged man asked curiously, "How did you get here? Where's your luxury car?"

"Already... already sold." He Lijie said in a low voice.

"Sold it?" After a pause, the middle-aged man came to his senses and asked him curiously:

"He Lijie, you haven't been back to Jiangnan City for so many years, why are you coming back now? You even sold your luxury car? Are you bankrupt?"

He also heard the middle-aged man say this, and at this moment, He Lijie's head lowered even more.

When Uncle Da saw this, he said angrily, "Ah Qiang, what are you talking about?"

"What do you say? It seems to be true?" The man named A Qiang also seemed to see the clue from the eyes of everyone.

He Lijie nodded slightly, didn't want to hide anything? He also nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's true, I'm already bankrupt, and I've moved back to Jiangnan City from Shanghai."

"Now I have nothing."

"Hehe." Hearing He Lijie's voluntary admission, Ah Qiang was overjoyed immediately, and also stepped forward, taking a few steps back and forth in front of He Lijie, and then said:

"He Lijie, what are you capable of? At the beginning, he made a vow that he would build a school for us in Hejiaba, but now, he hasn't come back for so many years, and he hasn't even heard from him."

Pointing to the outside, Ah Qiang said again: "Look, is the current Hejiaba Primary School still there? It was already a pile of ruins. When you come here to build a school, you really don't know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey? "

"It's all right now. The school was snatched away by Liujiaba's gang, and the new school is planned to be built on their side."

"But now our Hejiaba children have to go to other people's Liujiaba to go to elementary school."

With a heavy sigh, Ah Qiang was also annoyed, pointing at He Lijie and complaining: "I knew you were unreliable."

"At the beginning, I heard that you made a lot of money in Shanghai, but have you ever thought about our Hejiaba? Are you taking care of yourself?"

"It's fine if you don't come back for a few years. If you build a school, you can't come by yourself, or you can't come when you have time. You can send the money. If you have money, we can build a school?"

"But now, everything is gone. You also know that we have always had deep conflicts with those people in Liujiaba."

At the beginning, people on both sides fought for two generations to fight for land and water, but now our children have to go to Liujiaba to go to primary school in aggrieved manner.

It seems that when he said this, there was a kind of uneasiness in his heart, A Qiang also sighed, and went to the coffee table on his own, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it.

At this time, He Lijie seemed ashamed and stopped talking.

Gu Chen also asked casually: "By the way, do you really have such deep conflicts between He Jiaba and Liu Jiaba?"

"That's right?" Ah Qiang didn't answer here, but Uncle Da answered for him:

"Comrade police, you may not know something. These two places had many conflicts at the beginning, fighting for land and water. There were many gang fights. Although these problems are being resolved now."

"But the contradictions accumulated between the two generations are difficult to resolve so easily."

After sighing heavily, Uncle Da said again: "Our Hejiaba and Liujiaba are both people with a particularly strong sense of clan."

"Patriarchs, it was established many years ago that people from both sides cannot intermarry."

Glancing at He Lijie who bowed his head and said nothing, Uncle Da said again: "But, Lijie's mother, she is from Liujiaba, and Lijie's father is very happy with each other."

"In the end, the two ignored the ancestral precepts of the two clans and insisted on getting married and staying together."

"For this reason, Lijie's parents, it can be said that the clansmen on both sides were offended."

"That's right." As soon as Uncle Da finished speaking, He Lijie said without any concealment:

"Because of this relationship, since I was a child, I felt that the clansmen on both sides looked at our family differently."

"At the beginning, I was still young, so I didn't know why. It was only later that I gradually realized that people on both sides had conflicts."

"No matter where I go? It seems that people on either side don't want to see our family."

"What year is this? You still have this bad clan concept? Isn't it too much?" Hearing what He Lijie said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that it was too ridiculous.

But Uncle Da also said unhappily: "There is no way, the clansmen on both sides have a strong clan concept, and this concept is deeply rooted."

"Although, now, there are many young people on both sides who choose to fall in love freely and form a family together."

"However, after all, the times are advancing. Now the parents of these young people are all middle-aged people who are about the same age as Li Jie. Everyone is very open-minded, so there are not so many rules."

"But Lijie is different. When his parents chose to be together, it was more than 40 years ago. At that time, the concept of clan was also very strong."

"However, Lijie's parents chose to break this clan concept and get together. They were very unwelcome by the clan at that time."

With a heavy sigh, Uncle Da glanced at He Lijie, and said with regret:

"Hey, poor Lijie's parents, how many stares did they receive? How many grievances?"

"It wasn't until the two husband and wife died in an accidental car accident, leaving Lijie alone, that the patriarchs showed kindness and stopped pursuing the past."

"Choose to let Lijie stay in our Hejiaba all the time, and let Lijie eat all kinds of meals."

Glancing at He Lijie, Uncle Da said again: "It's really hard for Lijie."

"Uncle Da, stop talking. You were the best to me back then. I have always regarded you as my relative, and you are my parents." He Lijie wiped away his tears and said with sobs.

But Ah Qiang on the side was extremely disgusted, and said in a bad mood: "Come on, how many people did my dad offend in order to take care of you? Do you know how much he has been wronged?"

"Since you think my dad is your reborn parent, how have you treated my dad these years?"

"You once made a promise that you would keep Hejiaba Primary School, and you would pay for the new construction."

"Because of your words, this empty promise made my dad so happy that everyone praised you for your kindness."

"But how he praised you and promoted you at the beginning, how he was treated as a joke later, made fun of you as a white-eyed wolf, and made fun of my father as a fool, and believed your nonsense."

Speaking of this, Ah Qiang took a sip of water, and said in a bad mood:

"You think that you are great because you made some bad money? You look down on us and don't even come back for the New Year."

"But my dad has been waiting hard for this school. Although he has retired from the principal position, he has always believed that you are a guy who can't lie."

"Even when the school was about to be demolished and merged with Liujiaba above, he fought desperately, hoping to give us Hejiaba Primary School some more time."

"But what about you? How did you repay my dad? We called you to beg you, but you even changed your phone number, so you can't be found at all. "

"I went to the devil to look for you, but there was no news of you, it was as if you had disappeared."

"I heard that you later became a big crocodile in the film and television industry. I went to your film and television company to find you, but the people in your film and television company have a dog's eye for inferiority, and they don't like me at all."

Sighing heavily, Ah Qiang also rubbed his face, trying to control his emotions.

He also heard what A Qiang said, and He Lijie couldn't believe it: "You went to Shanghai to look for me? Why didn't I know? The people in my company didn't tell me."

"Yeah, how busy are you? Boss, why do you think of such a trivial matter like us?"

A Qiang tilted his head, and said in a bad mood: "After being treated coldly in Shanghai, I knew it would be useless to find you."

"Since you changed your number, you didn't tell us, and even avoided going to your company."

"Hey, I don't understand. Even if you are the boss of Tianda, it's not too much to take a little time to meet me, a fellow villager, right? What are you so good about?"

It seems that he suffered a lot of uselessness in Shanghai, but now Ah Qiang speaks without mercy.

This made Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei who were listening on the side feel embarrassed for He Lijie.

At this moment, He Lijie seemed to be scolded badly by A Qiang, but he did not refute, but sighed heavily, and after trying to calm down, he said again:

"Ah Qiang, I was wrong in the past. I made a lot of money, and I felt very smug and self-important. Therefore, sometimes I really didn't pay much attention to dealing with this kind of relationship."

"Because there were too many projects in hand at that time, I was either on a business trip or on the way every day, and there was no time to rest at all."

"So, I ignored you and didn't even come back to visit you during the Chinese New Year. This is my dereliction of duty and my fault."

Wiping the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, He Lijie also choked up and said: "I don't ask you to forgive me, I know, I'm just a white-eyed wolf."

"I grew up here in Hejiaba, eating hundreds of meals, but in the end I didn't make any contribution."

"Even bragging, writing a bad check, embarrassing Uncle Da in front of the locals, all of this is my fault, my fault."

Seemingly blaming himself too much, the agitated He Lijie even raised his hand to beat himself.

When Uncle Da saw this, he quickly stopped him: "Hey, Lijie, why are you bothering? If the school is gone, it will be gone. If you can live well, that is better than anything else."

"Besides, what can I be laughed at by the locals? I have been the principal here in Hejiaba for so many years, and many children from other families are my students."

"I am respected here, don't listen to Ah Qiang's nonsense."

"Dad, don't speak for him." It seemed that he couldn't get used to his old man and kept saying good things to He Lijie. Ah Qiang also stood up emotionally, walked forward and gestured and said:

"My dad's prestige accumulated over the years was ruined by you, He Lijie, making him the laughing stock of He Jiaba."

"Oh, you are bankrupt now. You only thought of going back to Jiangnan City and Hejiaba when you were bankrupt. What do you think you are doing now?"

"If the folks in the village saw it, wouldn't my dad still be laughed at? He Lijie, who he has always thought of as a joke, didn't come to see him when he was brilliant, but now he came to see him when he was bankrupt."

In the end, Ah Qiang even laughed out loud.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, as if they couldn't stand it any longer.

But Ah Qiang is right. When you were successful in your career, you didn't let Uncle Da get your credit, but now, when you became a laughing stock, you ran back.

This will inevitably make people laugh. Of course, it does not rule out that everyone thinks this way.

Ah Qiang was also arguing for his father, feeling that he had raised a white-eyed wolf for so many years.

This is also a release of complaints accumulated over the years to a certain extent.

He Lijie, who was already blushing, couldn't stay any longer at this moment. He also stood up, bowed to Uncle Da, and said apologetically:

"Uncle Da, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect that I have caused you so many years of trouble? I should be damned, I have no face to go back to Hejiacun, I...I'm sorry for you."

"Lijie, don't listen to Ah Qiang's nonsense, he is just trying to annoy you." Uncle Da didn't seem to care, always smiling.

But at this moment, He Lijie couldn't pass his own test, so he said goodbye with sobs, and walked out of the room directly, preparing to leave.

Seeing this, Uncle Da hurriedly chased him out the door.

But at this moment, He Lijie didn't seem to want Uncle Da to laugh at him.

Especially since he came to Hejiaba at night, it is not difficult to see that most of the local residents at night stay at home.

If this was seen by the big guys during the day, it might embarrass the old man even more.

"Lijie, Lijie." He stood at the door and yelled a few times, but he seemed unable to chase He Lijie back.

Uncle Da, who has limited mobility, is also so angry that he sticks out his cane.

But Ah Qiang walked to the door, looked at He Lijie who left, but said with disdain on his face: "Let's go, anyway, coming back will cause us trouble, it's best not to see."

"Snapped!"

"Hey young!"

As soon as Ah Qiang finished speaking, he felt a burning pain on his face.

Uncle Da slapped A Qiang on the face, and stared at him angrily: "Nizi, when do you think you will be able to make a difference? Are you really happy because you want to piss me off?"

As soon as the words fell, Uncle Da immediately raised the crutch in his hand, and was about to beat A Qiang violently.

Ah Qiang dexterously hid his position, and hurriedly fled with all his thoughts.

While Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei quickly supported the excited Uncle Da, and quickly comforted:

"Uncle Da, calm down, you can't do it, you really can't do it."

"I'm pissed off, I'm really pissed off." Uncle Da was out of breath, looking at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, he said in a bad mood:

"Lijie, this child, has had a hard life since he was a child. His parents died early. I watched him grow up."

"Whether he's doing well or not, he's a child of our Hejiaba after all."

After pausing for a while on the crutch in his hand, Uncle Da shook his head, and said in a bad mood:

"I know that Lijie has suffered a lot of grievances over the years. He has been very smart and capable since he was a child."

"In my eyes, Lijie is a person who can do great things. Compared with our local children, he is really a heaven and an earth."

"Even if Lijie has some flaws, so what? Who is perfect?"

Sighing heavily, seeing Lu Weiwei patting her back all the time, trying to calm herself down.

Uncle Da said again: "Two police comrades, I have an unfeeling request, I don't know..."

"Tell me, we will do our best to help you." Before Uncle Da finished speaking, Gu Chen answered directly.

Uncle Da also nodded silently, and then said: "Help me send Lijie home, and watch him return home safely."

"Lijie's self-esteem has been particularly strong since he was a child. Because of his parents' relationship, he lacks the necessary care from his clan since he was a child, so he has a low self-esteem since he was a child."

"No matter how good he is, deep down in his heart, there is always a shadow of inferiority."

"That's why, all these years, he has been trying to prove himself. He is too proud and has too much self-esteem."

"Now that he's bankrupt and fell from the sky to the ground, he must be very desperate. I'm really afraid that he will do something to hurt himself."

"It's okay, I promise you about this, I will definitely send him home." Seeing that Uncle Da was emotional, Gu Chen hurried to comfort him.

Uncle Da, who was wiping tears from the corners of his eyes, also looked back at his living room.

Seeing that his son Ah Qiang had disappeared, he cautiously took out a bank card from the inside pocket of his coat and handed it to Gu Chen, saying:

"Comrade policeman, please give this card to Lijie for me, he needs money now."

"This bank card was given to me when he started his business. He would send a sum of money to this card every year and holiday."

"For so many years, he may not even remember clearly, how much money is in this card?"

"It's just that in the past few years, he has been busy with work and may have forgotten our relatives, but I don't use any of the money in this bank card. I have been saving it for Lijie."

"I know that one day, Lijie will definitely need this money, and now is the time to return it to its original owner."

After a pause, trying to calm down, Uncle Da handed the bank card to Gu Chen, and said meaningfully:

"The password is Lijie's birthday, give it to him for me."

Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him, then looked at Uncle Da in front of him, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll hand it over to him for you."

"Then go, find him, and take him home. Thank you, Comrade Police."

It was also a deep bow to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and then Uncle Da walked home wearily with a cane.

The roadside lights shone on him, making him look particularly vicissitudes and powerless.

Gu Chen sighed softly, and also reminded Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, let's go back quickly?"

"Okay." Lu Weiwei responded, and immediately followed Gu Chen's footsteps.

The two ran with small steps, catching up with He Lijie's pace.

At this moment, He Lijie had already walked past the dam and arrived in front of the police car.

Thinking about walking home by himself, it would basically take a long time, so He Lijie chose to stand beside the police car, quietly waiting for Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

Not long after, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei came to him, and Gu Chen directly handed the bank card to He Lijie.

"What is this?" He Lijie was confused.

Gu Chen hurriedly explained: "Your bank card was given by Uncle Da, and the money in it was all from you calling him over the years, but he never used a penny and kept it for you. "

"Yes, the password is your birthday. Uncle Da knows that you are in urgent need of money, and this money is just for you." Lu Weiwei also smiled and asked He Lijie to accept the bank card.

But at this moment, He Lijie felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this.

It seems that He Lijie is very contradictory in his heart now, let's accept it, it seems that his conscience can't bear it.

Don't accept it, how can there be any dignity to talk about in such a miserable appearance?

There are too many places in the family that need money, and they are also burdened with huge debts.

In the face of face and life, He Lijie still chose to accept the bank card.

Seeing this situation, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Several people got into the police car again, and after asking about He Lijie's current address, Gu Chen drove He Lijie home.

At this moment, it was already past midnight.

In the car, there was no words all the way, and everyone remained silent.

It was also when he saw the vehicle gradually heading towards He Lijie's home that Gu Chen suddenly said:

"He Lijie, don't care about what Ah Qiang said. He was angry. In fact, he doesn't hate you that much."

"I know, thank you." He Lijie also smiled when he heard Gu Chen's words, expressing his understanding.

Gu Chen glanced at the rearview mirror of the car, but continued to comfort him: "You may not be perfect, but you are very real, live once and be yourself, there is no need to accommodate others."

"After all, in the world of crows, swans are also guilty."

"You have your way, I have my way, as for the only correct way, that does not exist."

"That's right." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei said involuntarily:

"People have free will, and no one can restrict you from daydreaming. Unfortunately, we all live in areas where groups gather."

"If everyone chooses freely, it also means that everyone cannot choose freely."

"Why do people now live so transparently? Because they have experienced too many bad things about human nature."

"I have experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, realized the cruelty of reality, experienced the right and wrong of people, and learned to heal myself."

Glancing at He Lijie who was listening carefully in the back row, Lu Weiwei continued:

"So, the most difficult and darkest roads are all walked in the dark by myself."

"The road you have traveled is also the road you should walk. Whether you experience good or bad, it is your choice at the beginning, and it is also the consequence that you should bear."

"Slowly understand that growth needs polishing, not to say that it is unfair or bitter."

"After all, there are some sins, and it's okay to suffer. No matter the experience is good or bad, growth is the best. Fortunately, you are not defeated."

"At least, there are people like Uncle Da who care about you, and isn't our life like a river going forward?"

"Don't just stay in the past, yesterday's sun can't dry today's clothes, and tomorrow's rain can't wet today's self, put what should be let go, and forget what should be forgotten."

"Reset your heart to zero and move forward with a smile. Everyone has experienced a lot of bad things, but the most they can say is nothing."

"Thank you." Listening to Lu Weiwei's comfort, He Lijie also smiled slightly.

He seemed to understand these principles, especially looking at the bank card in his hand, He Lijie seemed to have the power to make a comeback again.

After a pause, He Lijie asked with a puzzled look: "By the way, did my Uncle Da tell you how much money is in this card?"

"Don't you know how much money there is?" Lu Weiwei also looked curious.

He Lijie shook his head: "For so many years, I only remember that in the first few years after graduating from university, I would spend money in this card during New Years and festivals, so that Uncle Da can eat and drink well."

"And tell Uncle Da that I will pay for the construction of Hejiaba Primary School, and I will bring this primary school back to life."

After a pause, it seemed that he had come to the sad part again, He Lijie choked up, and also sighed:

"It's a pity. Uncle Da has been the principal of Hejiaba Primary School for many years and has raised many children. He often said that I am his most proud student."

"How proud I was to tell him that I would build a school for him, but now, I have become his joke, and he has also become the joke of the whole Hejiaba."

"Hehe." Hearing He Lijie's complaint, Gu Chen laughed dryly, and said involuntarily:

"Don't be anxious, don't be sad. In fact, you have to believe that everyone is an ordinary person, and their salary is only a few thousand yuan a month."

"I want to buy a car, I want to buy a house, and I need to pay off my mortgage, car loan, and credit card."

"I have to pay all kinds of trivial expenses, so what kind of money can I have?"

"I'm afraid that you've watched too many colorful worlds on the Internet, and you've forgotten what life really looks like."

"And let's look at the colleagues, friends and relatives around us. How many of them drive luxury cars and live in luxury houses? How many of them are debt-free?"

Seeing that He Lijie seemed to have calmed down, Gu Chen immediately lowered his tone, and said again:

"Actually, I believe that you are already very happy."

"At least there is no disease or disaster, the family is healthy, the children are with me, and the three meals are not the same."

"I have had a brilliant career, and I can follow dramas even if I have nothing to do. Occasionally, I have a good meal, and occasionally sleep until I wake up naturally."

"In fact, what you have is much more than what you don't have, but you may not want to admit the existence of these things."

"At that time, you may not understand how contradictory human nature is. You don't know how much affectation there is in sincerity, how much meanness there is in nobility, and how much goodness there is in evil."

"Now you should fully understand that stinginess and generosity, resentment and kindness, hatred and love can coexist in the same heart."

"If you don't like a person, you can use Nietzsche's words to understand him. Extreme behavior comes from vanity, mediocre behavior comes from habit, and narrow behavior comes from fear."

"If you look for the reason in this way, you will generally not go wrong."
