i'm not a bad man

Chapter 562
Facing Qiao Jiao, most of the time, I don't know how to deal with the somewhat complicated emotions between the two of us. Therefore, I will unconsciously restrain my emotions. I don't dare to get too close to her, and I don't dare to get too close to her. I said some inner thoughts related to her, but at this moment, I frankly expressed my inner feelings. I was willing to discover the beauty of this world with a kind look for her.

She deserves it.

Qiao Jiao looked at me, with mixed emotions in her eyes, and then waved her hand and said: "Tsk, do you think I am still an underage girl who is easy to coax and deceive?... I will not accept your pretending to be sensational. .”

"I'm serious, I really listened to what you said."

Qiao Jiao ignored me. She turned around and continued to operate the keyboard. This made me feel a little embarrassed. Just when I was about to listen to music and divert my attention, she suddenly said to me: "Then Tell me, when I persuaded you to leave the small town, why did you act so bitter and hateful? And you said so many unpleasant words, as if if I persuaded you one more time, you would deal with me all together? "

"I hate oppression. It's not you I hate, it's the oppressive behavior."

After a pause, I looked at Qiao Jiao seriously and said, "During that time, I needed understanding more than ever, but everyone around me tried to persuade me to leave the town and put down what I was doing... But, you Have you ever thought about where else I can retreat?... Could it be that I really want to find a town smaller than a small town, stay anonymous, be friends with alcohol every day, and live between sobriety and unconsciousness? The meaning of existence, Just to make others think that I am a person who has had painful experiences?... I don’t want to be like this. No one knows my entrepreneurial experience in a small town better than you. In order to revive that scenic spot, I put all the accumulated experience on the road All the resources and connections have been brought here... If this thing cannot be done, it will not only be a hurdle for me to overcome, but also cause a lack of trust in the circle of friends. No one will trust me in the future... I may spend my whole life You can't even turn over... Sometimes, success and failure are really just a matter of a thought. Maybe when you feel that you can't hold on, if you get angry and grit your teeth, these difficulties will be overcome. The most terrifying thing is I feel that I have tried my best, and then I naturally give myself an excuse to escape..."

Qiao Jiao still seemed to be unable to empathize with me. She laughed a little and replied: "Oh, what you said, it sounds like the journey of an entrepreneurial godfather!"

"If I overcome these difficulties and finally get the results I want, I will happily accept the title of Godfather of Entrepreneurship... Just like Chang Tianming is the richest man in the small town, and Guan Yubo is the underground emperor of the small town... It's just that , I hope that what I represent is justice, that I can really contribute to the tourism industry of the small town, and finally change the history of tourism development of the small town and benefit the whole party."

Qiao Jiao seemed to have put away her mocking expression. After a brief silence, she said, "I heard that the villagers in Danangou set up a merit monument for you, right at the entrance of the scenic spot."

"Yes, that merit tablet seems to have a kind of magic power. Every time I stand next to the merit tablet, I feel that I have not done enough."

"That's not a monument to merit. It's just a sugar-coated bullet to make you willingly become their profit-making tool."

"You say it's a sugar-coated bullet, but I think it's a yearning for a better life... Think about it, if this scenic spot can really be developed, those villagers won't have to leave their hometowns to work in other places. By then, every family will Every household has B&Bs and restaurants. Tourists have fun and they also make money... What a great feeling it is... What's even better than this feeling is that there are no longer so many left-behind children and left-behind elderly people in the village. ... We always say that we are lonely and wandering in our hearts, but this kind of loneliness is nothing compared to the loneliness of left-behind children and left-behind elderly people."

"When you say that, I really think of a child in the village... whose nickname seems to be Little Jelly Bean. Do you remember that?"

"Yes, the thin and short one often plays at the entrance of the scenic spot... What's wrong with him?"

"He made a viral video on Douyin. His father and mother went south to work in Guangdong. They only came back once a year, and he spent time with his grandparents. Maybe his parents were worried, so they were at home. A surveillance camera was installed... He probably regarded this surveillance camera as the only way to contact his parents. He sat under the surveillance camera every day and waited for his parents... Then, his father made a short video out of these surveillance images. "

"Look for me."

Qiao Jiao said while holding her phone: "I really have collected this video... Look."

I took the phone from Qiao Jiao's hand, and then saw these surveillance pictures. Because the child was still young, he fell under the surveillance camera more than once. At first, he would cry, but after falling too much, he stopped crying and looked up. Looking at the surveillance camera, calling mom and dad... He seems to sit on the small bench under the surveillance camera every afternoon, eating snacks alone, dazing alone, and watching the puppies running around in the yard...

Eventually, these images were turned into a collection and posted on Douyin, which received hundreds of thousands of likes and triggered social discussions about left-behind children.

With a heavy heart, I returned the phone to Qiao Jiao. Qiao Jiao sighed and said, "Tell me, what is going on in his little head when he sits under the surveillance camera every day?"

"If he has a concept of time, he should be thinking about when to celebrate the New Year... After the Chinese New Year, his parents will come back and bring him snacks, new clothes, and company that he can be with all the time. In this way He is not afraid that no one will help him if he falls."

"Stop talking, stop talking... there's sand in your eyes!"

I lit a cigarette and fell into silence. After a long time, I spoke to Qiao Jiao again: "If it is for the family to be reunited, their profit-seeking and adapting to the wind doesn't seem so hateful when I think about it." ”

"If you can really develop this scenic spot, your behavior seems to be understandable... Chang Tianming is too selfish, and he will not really consider those people."

"I also have selfish motives." Follow my Weixin public account: *** to view the latest chapters!Reply to "works" to get all book txts.

"What selfishness?"

I spit out the cigarette in my mouth, and then smiled and said: "While developing the scenic spot, we also make some money... If there is still a chance, I want to go to the places I have visited again, including the I’ve been to .”

"Are you arguing with RVs? Can't you drive an off-road vehicle comfortably and stay in a hotel comfortably?"

"It's not that I'm stuck, it's that I can't let go...I can't let go of that feeling and that way of traveling."

"Then you sold the RV?"

"No one can avoid doing a few things in their life that they will regret... You later renovated that RV, changed the wheels, oil lines, and replaced many old parts."

"So, you are really a beast sometimes! This time, I really can't help you buy back that RV. I don't even know where or who you sold it to."

I fell into silence, silence because I really regretted it.
