Wei Daqun fell into memories and recounted the story between him and his enlightenment teacher.

"There are rules when writing letters to others. You must keep secrets for others. You must not tell a third person a word, even if it is your parents or relatives."

"When some adults ask me to write a letter, they will give me a plum or a peach. I understand what they mean. Their letters must be kept confidential. So at a young age, I have already been exposed to the complicated world of adults.

An unspeakable world.”

"Once, my neighbor's sister Axiu came back from working in the city, and she brought back a man, a bookish man. He came to propose marriage to Axiu's mother."

Tang Shuang: "This is a good thing."

Wei Daqun sighed, shook his head and said, "For Axiu's mother, this is not a good thing."

Tang Shuang: "Oh?"

Wei Daqun said sadly: "A neighbor's man was bitten by a poisonous snake a few years ago. He could not be saved and passed away. There are four orphans and widows left. Axiu is the eldest, and there are two younger brothers who are four or five years old.

, she must share the burden of the family."

Wei Daqun: "If Axiu gets married, then there will only be one woman to support the family. She cannot afford it anyway, so she did not agree to the marriage."

Tang Shuang asked puzzledly: "As long as that man is willing, he can continue to let Axiu support her mother. I think he should not refuse in this case."

Wei Daqun was silent for a while and said, "That little sister of mine~ She works as a young lady in the city."

Tang Shuang's heart suddenly suddenly fell silent.

Wei Daqun: "She was only 16 years old at the time~ The man came to redeem her life."

Tang Shuang understands that a 16-year-old rural girl has no skills and many ways to spend money. Who is willing to do a lowly job unless she has no choice but to do it? If Axiu gets married, she will definitely wash her hands with this person.

A line is drawn, but if there is no source of income, how can one support the mother with a man's money? This is not a long-term solution.

The atmosphere in the study became solemn. Wei Daqun took a deep breath and continued: "At that time, my neighbor's aunt came to discuss with my mother. I was lighting the stove and preparing to help my mother cook. I was young and they didn't care, so I

I witnessed the whole process and I will never forget that moment.”

"My mother shed tears while peeling broad beans. It was the first time I saw my mother shed tears. That woman, who was as good at farm work as any man, was as weak as ever."

"The two women cried for a while, and then the neighbor's aunt left and drove the man away. Then she told Axiu, who was in tears, that she hoped she would help the family for a few more years and that she would make up for it when her brother grew up.

she."

Wei Daqun shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to get rid of the unnecessary emotions, and continued: "Then one day, the neighbor's aunt received a letter from the man and asked me to read it to her."

"It was a letter written with a pen, vertically arranged, and the handwriting was very beautiful. Because it was written in cursive, I struggled to read it, but I still understood it. It was a letter with very sharp words, and I was most impressed.

To put it profoundly, it is like a tiger’s poison cannot eat its seeds.”

"I read this sentence to my neighbor's aunt. After listening to it, she cried and wanted to hit the wall and die!"

Tang Shuang could understand her mood at that time. It was so sad to be told that tigers are poisonous and cannot eat their children. No one wants their children to be well. Everything is forced by life.

"Fortunately, someone stopped me and comforted the neighbor aunt, saying that I must have read it wrong, and then invited my teacher. He read the letter and read it to everyone again. This meant that he understood the painstaking efforts of being a parent, but he

I am also infatuated and willing to continue waiting.”

"Then I got unlucky. The adults all said that I had pronounced it wrong. There was no such thing as the saying "tiger poison cannot eat seeds." I was very angry because it was clearly written in black and white.

"About two days later, the teacher came to me and said that what I read at that time was correct. I asked him why he didn't read it truthfully and why he didn't help me."

Tang Shuang: "I want to know too."

Wei Daqun said: "The teacher asked me what my aunt's reaction was after I finished reading the letter. I said she wanted to hit the wall."

"The teacher said, yes, words can be expressed in two ways. One way is to make people angry and sad and hit the wall, which means the same thing. Another way of saying it is another way. Did Axiu and that city man have a fate in the end?

None of us can guarantee it, but no matter what, shouldn't we bless them?"

"The teacher said that if you read that letter to Axiu's mother word for word, then Axiu and that man would never be able to be together again. He must have been very excited when he wrote the letter. I think, wait until he calms down

I must have regretted sending such a letter, but it was too late."

"The teacher said, so, sometimes we have to put ourselves in someone else's shoes. In the future, you should pay attention when reading letters. If you encounter particularly harsh words, you should turn them over and use another way of saying them."

Tang Shuang thought carefully while listening to Wei Daqun say: "Now that I think about it, he didn't treat me as a child, but at that moment he treated me as an adult."

"Many years later, when I think back to that scene, the image of intellectuals in my mind is not those university intellectuals, but my teacher. He uses knowledge as a contribution, and he also hopes that there will be someone with this responsibility.

Inheritance.”

Wei Daqun paused for a moment and said to Tang Shuang: "Knowledge is not only used to gain benefits, knowledge can be used to contribute, and knowledge can be used to help others. This is the philosophy of life that my enlightenment teacher told me. If there is no

It may take me many years to understand him through stumbling and stumbling."

Tang Shuang looked at Wei Daqun in front of him, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He never expected that this teacher whom he met for the first time would actually say something profound to him.

He was only grateful and moved in his heart, and he understood his intentions.

Wei Daqun's story kept echoing in Tang Shuang's mind, and every sentence seemed to have a unique charm.

When Wei Daqun saw Tang Shuang's appearance, he was overjoyed. He never relied on his elders and never used his status as an elder to teach younger generations. The reason why he told Tang Shuang this time was, on the one hand, his feelings after seeing the photos, and on the other hand.

It is indeed a matter of cherishing talents.

Having said this, it would be nice if you could understand him, but if you can't understand his intentions, then he has nothing to do and everyone will go their own way from now on.

Fortunately, Tang Shuang seemed to have listened.

…

The two chatted and lost track of time. It was not until Wei Daqun's daughter, Wei Tingting, came home that Tang Shuang realized that it was already noon and immediately wanted to say goodbye and leave, but in the end Wei Daqun stayed for dinner.

Wei Tingting was very surprised. She knew Wei Daqun's temper very well. Although not many people came to visit his home, there were still many people, but there were only a few people who could be stayed by him to eat.

After lunch, the two sat down to drink tea. This time Wei Daqun didn't say anything more, but called Wei Tingting over.

"You young people have more common topics to talk about."

Wei Tingting was overjoyed when she heard that Tang Shuang was the author of "Hero". She was also a member of the army chasing Da Da, and she had many things to ask him.

…

When Tang Shuang left, he bowed respectfully to Wei Daqun and thanked him for his love.

Wei Daqun was not polite and accepted the bow calmly. He smiled and said he would come and sit down when he had time, and sent Tang Shuang out of the door.
