There was a cool breeze blowing by the river in the morning. Hundreds of geese occupied a large section of the river, playing and playing, with a lot of water splashing.
Li Lei's gratitude to Li Shu was beyond words.
If nothing happens, he, like nearly two hundred other workers, will continue to work on Rabbit Island until he is completely old and will no longer work.
After all, the pay here is really good, and the salary of RM180 a day is much higher than in other places.
Li Shu patted Li Lei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Help me take care of this place when I'm not at Rabbit Island. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."
"Hey, okay!"
Li Bin left Rabbit Island after receiving 7.5 million US dollars. Without Li Bin, the most difficult competitor, Li Lei, one of the former "land reclamation captains", became the village chief of the workers' village without any controversy.
He was elected by the workers themselves, and over 200 workers were under his management.
Huang Yun, Li Shu, and Li Lei were all squatting by the river. The sun was shining on her fair and pretty face, which was warm, and the soft wind was very refreshing.
Li Shu saw a book in Li Lei's arms and asked curiously: "What books do you usually read?"
Li Lei was embarrassed, so he took out the book he had in his arms and showed it to Li Shu. He saw "Complete Solutions to High School Mathematics Theorems" written on it, with English and Malay below the Chinese text.
The corners of the book are slightly curled, as if they have been read frequently.
Li Shu smiled and said: "High school mathematics? Um...preparing to take the adult college entrance examination?"
Li Lei grinned with embarrassment: "Hey, I made the boss laugh."
He looked at the geese playing in the river, looking slightly lonely:
"Boss, you may not know that more than 20 years ago, I, Li Lei, also went to college, but... something happened during my senior year.
In the end, I didn’t get my diploma, which was really a big regret for me, so now I want to take the Adult College Entrance Examination. "
The air was suddenly quiet.
Li Shu nodded.
Huang Yun squatted on the right side of the plum tree. She whispered curiously: "What happened?"
Li Shu glanced at Huang Yun, who knew she had made a mistake and stuck out her tongue in a naive manner.
Li Lei noticed the way Li Shu looked at Huang Yun, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he said lonelyly:
"Actually, it's nothing to talk about. It was 25 years ago, just after the New Year on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Li Lei's voice was so soothing and erratic, and Li Shu and Huang Yun seemed to be brought into his memories.
Li Lei continued leisurely:
"On the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when I returned to the rented house, it was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. I fell drunk on the bed, while my girlfriend Xiaotong was making me sobering tea.
Sudden.
My good friend Ah Bin came to knock on the door. He was bruised and swollen at the time. After careful questioning, he found out that his girlfriend was bullied by a guy named Ah Sheng.
Abian went to argue with the other party, but the other party was outnumbered and he was beaten by the other party, so he came to me in the middle of the night to ask me for help in misery. "
Li Lei paused in his words.
Li Shu felt a little sad. He reached out and wanted to touch the big white goose that was swaying towards him, but the latter twisted his neck to avoid Li Shu's hand and looked at Li Shu sideways.
There was vigilance and disdain in his eyes.
Although Li Lei hasn't finished speaking yet, Li Shu has roughly guessed the outcome - it's too common for young men to fight over their girlfriends.
Huang Yunxing's eyes widened and she looked at Li Lei curiously. Then she saw Li Shu teasing the goose. She even warned in a low voice: "Don't touch him, be careful he pecks you~"
Li Shu whispered: "If he dares to peck me, I will stew him."
Li Lei seemed to have sorted out his thoughts and continued: "I was furious at that time!
How dare you bully my brother's girlfriend? How can I bear this! ?
So I immediately contacted the manpower, and after finding out that the other party was in Black Elephant Park, I directly ordered the brothers to gather at the north gate of the park.
My girlfriend Xiaotong tried her best to hold me back and not let me go. She knew that I was drunk and the attack was not serious, but I got rid of her.
Who knows—
Not enough words to speculate.
In the end... two people died - Ah Bin and Ah Sheng. Ah Sheng was stabbed by me and died of blood loss.
The court said that Ah Sheng committed the evil first and bore great responsibility for the conflict. "
Li Shu was a little sad.
He could vaguely imagine the tragic scene at that time. I'm afraid there were people wailing all over the place and everyone was injured. It was very likely that some people were seriously injured or even disabled for life.
"Hi~hoo~"
Huang Yun took a breath. She had never seen such a good baby in reality.
She moved towards Li Shu, grabbed Li Shu's big hand, and said softly: "Don't fight."
Li Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but looking at the concerned look in Huang Yunmei's eyes, Lian solemnly said: "Okay, I won't fight... Even if something happens, I will let Jing Laoer and the others get in while I watch from the side."
"Pfft~" Huang Yun smiled instantly, but thinking that the occasion was not right, Lian put away her smile again.
Li Lei was still talking, but his voice was trembling, and muddy tears fell from his eyes.
Li Lei, who was nearly 50 years old, cried bitterly and miserably: "The person I am most sorry for is my girlfriend Xiaotong, I really deserve to die!
If I could have listened to her on the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I wouldn't have let things develop to such an extent.
We were so happy at that time. We had been in love for 7 years, and we were about to graduate. We both found internship companies, and I also made a lot of money in four years of college, which was just right for the down payment of a house.
So we plan to get married right after graduation and have even started looking at wedding dresses.
And Xiaotong is really very kind and gentle. People around me are envious of me for finding such a good girlfriend. Unfortunately... I lost her. This is really a regret of my life!
Compared with losing Xiaotong, losing her diploma seems insignificant. "
Huang Yun and Li Shu looked at each other.
She looked at Li Lei who was crying heartbrokenly, and was shocked in her heart. She said weakly: "Uncle Lei, have you seen Xiaotong since you were released from prison?"
Li Lei wiped away tears and said: "I met him once. Not long after I was released from prison, I went to visit my old high school and met Xiaotong at the school gate who was picking up my son from school.
It turned out that it was a holiday for the senior year of high school, and Xiaotong’s son was also 18 years old, and he looked nothing like me. "
Li Shu: “… “
Neither Li Lei nor Huang Yun realized that there was something wrong in their words. Li Lei still said sadly: "I hid in the crowd and glanced at Xiaotong from a distance, not daring to recognize him, and then left quietly.
Boss, I, Li Lei, don’t actually envy you how much money you have, but I really envy you for being able to stay together with the person you love.
And my whole life, hey~"
Huang Yun squeezed Li Shu's big hand. She didn't expect that there was such a story behind Li Lei, the goose herder.
It's just that more than 20 years have passed, and the past has been buried in the rolling dust of the world, with few people trying to find out.
Li Shu patted Li Lei on the shoulder: "Hey, everything, just look forward."
Li Lei was stunned: "Is everything about money? Good boss, I will work hard and make money."
After lunch, Li Shu and Huang Yun returned to Neverland that afternoon.
"Woof woof~"
When we got off the plane, the big yellow dog was the first to pounce on us, wagging its tail and rump.
Did you bring something delicious to Ben Dahuang? No, no, no, do you want me to look at you aggrievedly
