My 1979

After Bai He left, Li He and Guo Dongyun made a simple summary of the information of the past few days.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li He knew that Guo Dongyun felt uncomfortable.

"It's okay." Guo Dongyun said with a smile, "I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow. Is there anything you need me to bring to your house?"

"No, have a nice trip."

As the lanterns begin to shine, Pujiang becomes more and more urban. The lighting project has been accelerated, and there are street lights wherever there are roads. For many cities pursuing development, commercial lighting and night market construction are an important aspect of urban commercial construction and an important symbol of a city's modern atmosphere.

There are requirements for commercial lighting and night markets in key areas, and they are not allowed to close before nine o'clock. The employees in the market yawned in front of the sparse flow of people, and looked at the clock from time to time, preparing to get off work at the right time.

Li He took Dong Hao around the market, buying two snacks from time to time. The candied haws in his mouth stuck to his teeth, and his tongue kept wandering around in his mouth.

As the lights slowly went down, there were fewer and fewer people on the street. It was already early in the morning, and Li He continued to drink at the roadside stall, still enjoying his drink.

Dong Hao said, "We have to catch a flight tomorrow, should we go back first?"

"Then go back."

The two people walked back along the road.

Li He flicked his arm and threw the empty beer can into the trash can from a distance of more than ten meters.

There was a snap.

Accurate.

But it startled a person next to the trash can. The person straightened up, looked towards Li He, put the iron pliers in his hand behind his back, and asked, "Which one?"

"Fellow, what are you doing?" Li He smiled when he saw a tricycle next to him.

"Hey, fellow man." The man was thin and dark, and suddenly he was very happy to hear Li He's accent. Then he turned around and continued to work on his own, holding the iron pliers on the ground hard.

Li He was about to take a closer look when he heard a bang and a large iron circle popped out of the ground.

"Have you made a fortune? This can be sold for more than 100 yuan, right?" Li He lit a cigarette and watched happily.

"Fellow, don't look at me. Come and help me." The man rolled the manhole cover next to the tricycle. It was difficult to pick it up.

"I don't have the strength to rely on myself." As a new member of the socialist society with morality, ideals, culture, and discipline, Li He would definitely not do this.

"Ah" the man gritted his teeth, put the manhole cover on the tricycle shivering with all his strength, and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Grandma is such a bear, I am exhausted."

"It's 130, right?"

"It's almost the same. The one from the north is heavier, about 200 kilograms. If there are only two people, you can't even get in the car." The man also took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Li He and Dong Hao, and then puffed out heavily. Smoke rings.

Li He smiled and said, "You are preparing to sacrifice your freedom to make money. Do you know how to sentence me?"

"Three years, I don't have to carry it like that." The man rolled his eyes at Li He and smoked his cigarette, "Just this time, I won't do it next time. Do you think I won't be worried? Carrying bags on the dock , the boss hasn’t paid the money yet. If the children are not waiting for school to start, I won’t do it.”

Li He shook his head and said, "It's at least three years, maybe four or five years, I can't say for sure."

The crime of endangering public safety starts with three years.

"What should we do?" The man disagreed with Li He's words and urged, "fellow, please give way and I will push the car out."

"Brother, listen to me and put it back."

"Put it back? Will you give me my son's tuition?"

"I'll give it, just a hundred and ten yuan."

"You're kidding." The man took control of the front of the car and tried to go around Li He.

"No kidding." Li He took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and dangled it in front of the man's eyes.

"What's wrong with asking for your money?" The man was very determined, "I'm not a beggar."

"If you don't keep the money, I'll call the police." Li He smiled bitterly. Is digging manhole covers more honorable than begging for food?

"Really so disrespectful of friendship? We are all fellow villagers." The man felt hesitant when he saw Dong Hao's hand pressed on the mobile phone.

Li He said, "It's because of my friendship that I let you take this hundred yuan. If it were someone else, I wouldn't care and just call the police."

As a fellow countryman, he admits that he has softened his heart. A man who is willing to be a good father is usually not a bad person. If Li Zhaokun had been willing to steal manhole covers for his tuition fees, maybe he would have been moved.

Of course, he just thought that if Li Zhaokun really did this, he might feel even more shameful.
