If life had a starting line, someone was born in Rome

Chapter 77 I've Never Been My Dad's Proud!Lin Feng actually took the initiative to admit defeat? (Three-in-one monthly ticket plus change chapter)
Wu Peng looked at Uncle Lin, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with hair all over his body.

However, since he agreed, there is nothing he can do now.

He could only follow behind Uncle Lin dejectedly, and walked towards the bridge repair site.

Today is Sunday and there are fewer children at school.

And now that the bridge is going to be built in the village, Lin Feng has no intention of standing idly by.

So, Lin Feng silently followed the two of them with the shovel in hand.

This battle directly made Wu Peng's whole body hairy.

This posture made it obvious that Teacher Lin was waiting behind.

If I don't abide by the agreement later, I have to immediately carry Teacher Lin up the mountain.

In this case, you must not lose.

"Okay! No problem! Okay! No problem..."

Wu Peng lowered his head and muttered.

A group of people just appeared at the bridge, and countless villagers greeted them like everyone, everyone was full of enthusiasm and energy.

After saying hello one by one, Wu Peng, a fresh face, became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Hey, a kid from the city can stand the ashes and dirt in a place like this?"

A villager joked.

Wu Peng glanced at Lin Feng from the corner of his eye, gritted his teeth and said:

"OK, no problem!"

"..."

"Haha, you're quite ambitious! Otherwise, why don't you go and put stones on Aunt Fen's side?"

Wu Peng followed the villagers' hands and looked over. Several women were loading stones into their baskets and carrying them to the bridge base one by one.

Wu Peng felt so tired just by looking at him that his back molars were almost broken:

"OK, no problem!"

While speaking, he was really scared, afraid that some villager would come and talk too quickly, and things would get out of control.

Run faster than a rabbit!
And because he was slow to work before, Uncle Lin told him that this scene happened now. This time, he behaved himself.

It's refreshing to lift a rock.

In just a few minutes, he was already ashamed and sweating profusely.

How loud Wu Peng's calculations were before, how funny he looks now.

Make the audience laugh until their stomach hurts.

But Lin Feng observed it, and the work that the villagers asked Wu Peng to do was actually not heavy.

So, I also let go of my heart, found a vacancy, and joined everyone.

When the shovel went down, everyone who greeted him was shocked.

"No, I said why are you holding a shovel? Mr. Lin, this is a cultural person, you shouldn't do this!"

The villagers repeatedly stopped Lin Feng from helping.

The most anxious person among them is Uncle Lin. In his opinion, Lin Feng's main job is to take charge of Xiangzhang Primary School and take good care of the children!

A person who uses his head like Lin Feng is a cultural person, not a rough person, and cannot do rough work.

"Fengwa, why don't you know the importance? Take your class well, and if you collapse from exhaustion, the children will have no teacher! Go back, go back!"

Uncle Lin's words were full of eagerness and concern.

Others also agreed and told Lin Feng to leave this matter alone.

Lin Feng shook his head, pointed at himself, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Look at my physique, look at my age, why do you still treat me like a child? Third Master is not afraid of getting tired at his age, what am I afraid of?"

However, no matter what he said, everyone just stopped him.

Wu Peng, who was moving stones, was dumbfounded:
"I'm just a child, and you ask me to move such a big stone. Teacher Lin Feng is already so old, and everyone is trying to stop me from swinging a shovel??"

These words fell into Uncle Lin's ears, and he raised his eyebrows:
"You don't teach... Besides, what do you do?"

Wu Peng slapped his mouth twice, then looked at Lin Feng, then at Uncle Lin, and rolled up his sleeves:
"OK, no problem!"

Then, he took a step forward and snatched the shovel from Lin Feng's hand.

As soon as he went down with a shovel, none of the villagers stopped him, but they all gave him thumbs up.

"This kid is ambitious! If something happens, he will really do it!"

"Actually, the kids in the city are pretty good too and are willing to build roads with us."

"..."

Hearing the praise from the villagers, Wu Peng's tears flowed to his heart, and all he could think about was:
The young master must win, when Lin Feng carries himself up the mountain, that is the pinnacle of the young master's life, so proud! !

Lin Feng on one side: "..."

In desperation, he could only retreat to the side.

But Wu Peng began to learn the lesson, waving the shovel and trying to minimize his presence.

I was afraid that others would say something when I opened my mouth, but my ears were not idle.

They are all from the folks in the village, and they also like to chatter when they are working.

"My daughter got married outside. She came back to visit her at first, but then she gave birth to a child. She said it was because of the inconvenience of transportation, so she hasn't come back for several years. I don't even know what my grandson looks like. I hope the road will be repaired. Ah, she can come back with her child."

"Oh! Don't blame your daughter. We are the only ones in the corner. Any children who go out are not willing to come back. We are holding them back! Things are getting better now. There is hope. The bridge is open and the road is wide. Children It’s convenient and you can come back.”

"It's good to have hope. We need to work harder and make it look good! At that time, I will hold my grandson and tell stories about road construction, haha."

"..."

Wu Peng listened to the gossip of these parents, and soon felt that it was meaningless, and he looked a little listless.

But when Lin Feng looked at the enthusiastic and motivated people, his thoughts were completely different from Wu Peng's.

He could feel the breath in everyone's heart.

A feeling of wanting to make the mountains better.

Why do we, generation after generation, have to go out to work to make ends meet?
Or even go out and not come back for a few years?
Because the mountains are poor!

This kind of poverty is reflected in all aspects, not only the inability to make money, but also the lack of hope in returning!

Women in the mountains dream of getting married and leaving this place for the rest of their lives.

Even a woman who marries here will become so poor within a few years that she becomes unbearably poor and encourages the men in her family to go out to work to find a way out.

It cannot be said that they are wrong, because everyone has the right to live a good life.

But because of this, there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled left in Dashan.

And those young people who go out will have to come back here when one day they become old and weak...

Because their roots are not in the city, when they lose their value, they will be ruthlessly abandoned!

Generation after generation, the situation created is that cities cannot take root, and mountains cannot grow strong roots!
How can the villagers in the mountains be reconciled? !
Now that we finally have the money to build roads, the roads are repaired. In the future, there is hope that the output in the mountains will be exchanged for money instead of rotten in the ground. The transportation will be developed, and there will be mutual benefits and mutual promotion with the outside world.

Hope, more than anything!
How can the villagers not work hard? !
Therefore, the nearby villagers did not need to be mobilized by their own village secretaries. They all gathered together spontaneously and worked hard to build bridges and roads.

In their eyes, this is not simply building bridges and roads, but paving the way for their children and grandchildren!
So, in just a few days, the bridge foundation had already taken shape.

Moreover, the road in front and back has been widened by nearly two meters, and it has been built to nearly [-] meters!

Looking at this scene, not only Lin Feng's heart was surging, but even those viewers who were lying in bed watching the live broadcast without going to work were also infected!
"Oh my god, people still have goals. These villagers, no matter how old, weak, or disabled they look when they pick up the bills, they still have hope in their hearts and start working, leaving Wu Pengba behind." Hundreds of streets, hahaha.”

"I should get up and do some exercise. My 30- or [-]-year-old physique is not as good as that of an old man in the mountains. At the very least, I can't carry the stones in that man's basket!"

"This is not a bridge or a road, but the future of future generations! I cried to death, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. I already understand this sentence. These old men and women are going to die at all. What the hell!! I never thought about enjoying myself at all!!"

"You showed me this exciting picture so early in the morning. It has so much positive energy. I can finish next week's work in one go today!"

"..."

on site.

Uncle Lin saw that Wu Peng couldn't swing the shovel anymore, shook his head and sighed.

Children in the city with thin arms and legs are just useless.

So, he stepped forward to take the shovel from Wu Peng's hand, and said softly:
"Baby, take a rest."

"OK, no problem!"

Wu Peng felt like he had unloaded a heavy burden, and he no longer cared about his image and hygiene.

He sat down on the rock next to him, panting heavily.

Finally heard something good today!

However, within a few minutes of rest, Wu Peng saw a villager rushing towards him, shouting as he ran:

"Village Secretary!! This is incredible! Village Secretary!!"

When he ran to Uncle Lin's side, the villager exerted too much force and was already out of breath.

Uncle Lin's expression suddenly changed.

This confuses Wu Peng. The time he has been in contact with Uncle Lin is not short. He has always been relatively calm. Why is his face so ugly now because of one sentence?
"Teacher, what's wrong with Uncle Lin?"

Wu Peng softly asked Lin Feng beside him.

Seeing that Lin Feng also had a dignified face, he explained:

"You don't know, in the villages in the mountains, the most feared thing is news! Every laborer who goes out here is not exchanging his life for money? If there is no news, it means that life is safe, but when there is news, especially running like this Passing the news..."

Lin Feng sighed and did not continue.

A villager on the side continued to say with concern:

"Mostly, people are either gone or disabled! It may even be a collective accident! Because the village secretary was called just now, not a certain family, I am worried about my family."

Uncle Lin stood there numbly, his strength suddenly exhausted. He stared blankly at the villagers' mouths opening and closing, with so many things in his mind that he couldn't grasp the key points...

The audience in front of the screen felt sorry for the village secretary's dumbfounded look.

"It's not easy for the head of the village secretary to do it! I'm so scared."

"What happened? It's really scary to call someone like that! I remember one time when I was buying something for my parents online, the express delivery I ordered was Zunguida. Then the items arrived. As soon as my parents opened the door, they saw Two men in suits and ties, wearing white gloves, were standing at the door holding a box... My mother almost fainted at that time! The scene was exactly the same as now!"

"I'm so anxious to death, the most taboo to spread the word is panting!"

"..."

Everyone looked at Uncle Lin's appearance and felt anxious in their hearts.

In such a short period of time, Uncle Lin even thought of where the grave was!

It's not that he is still rational, on the contrary, between the huge sadness and life, life suppresses everything in the end...

At this moment, the villager finally made it clear:
"Your daughter brought her son-in-law back!! She's walking this way!!"

Snap it.

Uncle Lin sat down on the edge of the river, then hit his heart hard a few times, and cursed:
"Damn it, why are you breathing so hard at this critical moment?!"

The villagers looked at Uncle Lin's pale face, and knew that they had done something wrong in their haste, so they didn't dare to speak back, and looked at Uncle Lin foolishly.

Wu Peng stretched his head and said to Uncle Lin:
"Uncle, your daughter and son-in-law are back. Hurry up and pick them up."

Wu Peng's idea was simple. If he had gone home, his father would have rushed over to pick him up.

Therefore, Uncle Lin also went to pick up his children as a matter of course.

Not only Wu Peng thought so, but also the audience in the live broadcast room.

Everyone thought that Uncle Lin would go straight to pick up his child.

However, under the spotlight.

Uncle Lin stood up first, patted the dust on his body, then hesitantly raised his feet, and then stepped back... His rough hands rubbed again and again in the clothes, and finally grabbed a corner of the clothes, and stood on tiptoe to look ahead.

In his eyes, there are thoughts, expectations, and hopes...

I feel even more timid when I'm close to my hometown, and I don't dare to ask anyone -

Such a poem suddenly popped up in Wu Peng's mind, he quickly shook his head, where did he go!
Then, unconsciously, he stood on tiptoe and looked forward.

Slowly, several figures appeared on the dirt road across the river.

Uncle Lin's palms were sweating slightly.

Among the few figures, the first one to appear was the man who was working on the construction site and was crying watching the news.

Moreover, it seems that he is not the only one who has returned.

Behind him, figures slowly appeared one after another. Then, on the construction site, a child who came with his mother and sniffed his nose, and his mother, an old man in his 80s and [-]s who was working, was no longer young. woman.

And the half-year-old children in Lin Feng’s class who came to help with the work...

One by one, they stopped what they were doing, and the expressions on their faces were full of disbelief!

Because, on the other side of the river, nearly 50 people appeared!

These people waved their hands from a distance, and then... I don't know who took the lead, and they all started running crazily towards this side.

"!!!"

Among the old, weak, sick and disabled who were repairing bridges and paving roads, there were endless exclamations.

"Dad!! Dad!! I'm here!!"

"Zhuzi, your son...that's the son you haven't come home for five years!"

"Yaoer, look quickly, the man in the red dress is your father! Do you remember him? Your father is back, you have a father now! You have no conscience, you still know how to come back!! Woooooo!"

Exclamations of excitement or surprise sounded from Lin Feng's ears, and also from Wu Peng's ears.

Seeing these people running with all their strength, sweating profusely, but with bright smiles, Wu Peng's eyes became moist unconsciously.

This is a scene you don’t see even during the Chinese New Year in Xiangzhang Village!
"Come back? Are you all back?"

Wu Peng himself stood on tiptoe and searched the crowd. Where is my father?Will my dad come back?
The next moment, he smiled bitterly.

What are you thinking about?It's so deep...

At this time, the people on the other side had already rushed into the crowd here, and their relatives were reunited, with smiles or tears on their faces.

"Dad, I'm back. Pass this basket of yours to me!"

"Son! Look, dad brought you candy. Mom said you got a certificate at school. This is your reward!"

"Mom! My son can do this kind of thing! Go home and rest. By the way, I brought you a new suit. Go home and try it on."

"..."

The audience in front of the screen looked at the dozens of people rushing over and listened to their conversations with their families, with smiles on their faces.

"Oh my god, when I just saw those dozens of people running this way, I got goosebumps all over my body."

"Wu Peng, that silly boy, seems to be looking for his family, and he is about to cry. Has he forgotten that he is not from Xiangzhang Village?"

"Look, Teacher Lin Feng's eyes are also red. It's hard to see this side of him!"

"The reason why these people rushed back at this time is because of the live broadcast a few days ago?"

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!"

"..."

At this moment, a child walked up to Wu Peng, gave him a big smile, and then gave him a piece of bulk chocolate weighed in the supermarket.

Wu Peng usually doesn't even look at this kind of snacks.

But this time by a strange coincidence, he stretched out his hand to take it.

"Brother Wu Peng, this is a reward from my father. It's delicious. I'll share one with you!"

After stuffing the chocolate, the child ran back to his father's arms with a smile on his face without waiting for Wu Peng's reaction.

Wu Peng looked over and saw the child's father hugging him and holding him high, his eyes full of praise and satisfaction for the child.

Then, Wu Peng looked around, as if his soul had been pulled away, overlooking the expressions on everyone's faces in this environment from top to bottom.

There are laughter, tears, bitterness, and sweetness...

But what remains unchanged is that every one of them, no matter how old they are, looks at their children with pride in their eyes.

Wu Peng had never seen this kind of expression on his father's face.

At this moment, Wu Peng seemed to hear something breaking in his heart.

He walked to Lin Feng's side and said:
"Teacher, I feel a little uncomfortable and out of breath."

"Ok?"

Lin Feng touched Wu Peng's head, motioning him to continue talking.

"I seem to have never been proud of my father..."

Wu Peng's head was buried very low.

Before, including until yesterday, he always thought that his father did not understand him.

Therefore, he indulged in his own world as a matter of course, and did a lot of outrageous things.

He believed that he was not at fault; it was his father and the world that were wrong.

However, now look at these people around me.

Looking at the son who took the shovel from his father, the son who coaxed his mother home, the son who took candy from his father...

Everyone here is doing better than him!

Wu Peng remembered that his father once said painfully that his father had failed.

At that time, he scorned it and even thought it was a fact. His father was incompetent as a father.

Because he doesn't even understand his son.

But now, he suddenly realized that what his son did was incompetent.

He has never let his father have a proud look on his face, and he has never dealt with anything from his father's standpoint.

After suffering, Wu Peng became confused.

off screen.

When Wu Peng's father heard Wu Peng blurt out the words "I seem to have never been the pride of my father", his nose suddenly became sore.

He felt a gap opening in Wu Peng's heart at this moment.

That was Wu Peng sticking out his head, trying to pry into the heart of his father.

Similarly, his father also wanted to see his son's heart through this gap.

The ice wall between father and son has a faint chance to melt.

Similarly, Lin Feng sensed this point keenly. Looking at the confused Wu Peng, he smiled softly.

Originally, I wanted to slowly pry Wu Peng's heart through a day.

Unexpectedly, the sudden return of the villagers brought such an opportunity, which directly opened Wu Peng's heart.

Although he still looks ignorant, but now he can start to enter the next stage.

So, Lin Feng asked:
"Wu Peng, how long is it until our bet ends?"

Wu Peng doesn't even need to look at his watch. It's almost noon now, and it's still early before dark!
"It's still early! Teacher, why do you ask this suddenly?"

Speaking of this, Wu Peng looked wary:

"From the time I woke up until now, I have been saying 'yes, no problem'. I have never refused anyone's request. I have worked very hard to move rocks and dig roads. I have not lost."

Lin Feng nodded and patted Wu Peng on the head:
"I have seen your performance. I think that with your intelligence, you will win this bet."

"what??"

Wu Peng's eyes widened with disbelief.

He thought that in order to win this bet, Lin Feng would either use himself more frequently to make himself unbearable and admit defeat, or dig a hole for himself to jump in and make himself surrender.

In short, it was Wu Peng who had to lose.

But now what does Lin Feng mean by saying this suddenly? ?

"No way, Teacher Lin, are you really praising me, or are you mocking me?"

Wu Peng stared at Lin Feng in disbelief.

Lin Feng laughed, and said freely:
"Now I have decided to end our bet early, congratulations, you have won!"

"I won?"

Wu Peng pointed at himself and repeated it blankly.

Ever since Lin Feng ordered him to clean the yard of Uncle Lin's house in the morning, he had been looking forward to this moment.

Not to mention that he arrived at the construction site by accident and accepted the baptism of high-intensity labor.

However, when Lin Feng really announced that he had won, Wu Peng felt mixed feelings in his heart.

This wins? ?
The audience in the live broadcast room immediately became excited. Previously, everyone thought that the winner of this bet designed by Lin Feng must be Lin Feng, but now Lin Feng took the initiative to admit defeat, completely surprising everyone!

"I'm a little panicked. None of us here have ever guessed what kind of medicine Lin Feng is selling in his pocket!!"

"No way, admit defeat now, what kind of education can Wu Peng receive??"

"I'm talking about it, but I don't understand it. What it means now is that if Lin Feng loses, doesn't that mean he wants to carry Wu Peng up the mountain??"

"Wu Peng's physique weighs about [-] catties at least. Isn't Mr. Lin trying to exhaust himself to death?!"

"I realized it later. Even if Lin Feng won, Wu Peng would not be able to cheat him. This matter is a big conspiracy from the beginning to the end. It depends on how Lin Feng plays it!"

"..."

Amidst the discussion of the audience, Wu Peng's father's heart suddenly lifted!

What will Lin Feng do next?
He couldn't think of it, he could only watch it!

In the picture, Lin Feng had already squatted down and said to Wu Peng:

"Why are you still standing there? Come on up!"
