After Cao Jiao, Wei Taiqiang and He Boge jointly opened an e-sports training school, he found his own new investment direction. Cao Jiao said to his subordinates: "It turns out that after we invest, we can get so many benefits. I didn't know about this before."

In fact, the reason why Cao Jiao insisted on investing in training schools for e-sports players was mainly because he wanted to find some new blood among these people.

Because the previous routines proved that they could not defeat He Boge and Wei Taiqiang, Cao Jiao wanted to find some new ways.

In Cao Jiao's view, investment in this e-sports industry may be the key to his breakthrough. In Cao Jiao's mind, those e-sports players are full of wisdom, so Cao Jiao can use these people to help him explore new markets and open up the situation.

In front of the stove, Lucy leaned against her and shouted that she was hungry, making her mother feel upset. Wei Taiqiang, who was lying on the mattress, suddenly screamed. Mother hurried over and saw Wei Taiqiang bit his lower lip with sweat on his head, and his eyes were filled with fear. She called Mrs. Yu Yali and said, "I think she is going to give birth. Premature birth." Mrs. Yu Yali took many births and was very sure. She and her mother pushed the door of the truck together, leaving only a crack, so that Wei Taiqiang would not let the wind blow, and asked Aqi to lead Lucy and Wenfield out of the car; then took out a small peel knife from the pocket of the apron, put it under the mattress, and used it when she was about to cut off the umbilical cord.

Mom asked Wei Taiqiang: "Do you think it's okay now?" Wei Taiqiang nodded nervously and asked, "Are you going to give birth?"

Mom said, "Yes, I'm going to have a good baby. You have to be obedient, can you stand up and have a walk?" "Let me try." Mom and Mrs. Yu Yali each supported Wei Taiqiang and walked slowly back and forth a few times.

After a while, Wei Taiqiang felt a pain and started crying. They asked her to lie on the mattress for a while, and waited for the pain to pass, and then helped her walk back and forth. Dad leaned in through the crack left by the door and asked why he closed the door. He knew that Wei Taiqiang was about to give birth. He said, "Then, we can't leave." Dad walked to the edge of the river with the mud.

Twenty men stood there in the rain. Dad shouted, "I must repair the dike. My daughter is going to have a baby."

A tall man said, "It's not our child, we can leave." Dad said, "Of course, no one will stop you. There are only eight shovels anyway." He ran to the lowest point of the river bank and started to do it. The rest were lined up behind him. They piled up dirt with dirt.

The people without shovels folded the willow branches and woven the castors into the dike. Everyone gathered the enthusiasm for work and fighting. One person just put down the shovel, and the other picked it up again. Whenever there was a sharp cry from the truck where Yode lived, these people listened uneasy for a while and then worked hard. The dike became longer and longer, and both ends were connected to the road ridge. The water rose slowly, and Dad smiled proudly. The river hit the newly built dike. Dad shouted, "Let's raise it a little longer." Until dark, they were still working. They forgot about their fatigue, their faces were expressionless, and they were fucking like machines. Wei Taiqiang's pain was a little bit

It was as tight as a while, and it would happen every twenty minutes, and violent yelling kept coming. Dad told Uncle John not to do it too hard, and to be exhausted. Uncle John said he could not stand the yelling, and he screamed like his wife. If he hadn't worked hard, he had to run away. After a long time, the yelling finally stopped. Dad said, "If the child is born, Mom will call me." The churning river water hit the river bank, and with a loud bang, a poplar fell down the upstream. The tree flowed down the river, and the roots of the tree hanged the trunk. The water behind it surged, and the tree moved, and the trunk broke the trunk. Dad rushed forward, trying to block the trunk with mud.

It could no longer be blocked, and the dam was quickly washed away. The people scattered and rushed in. They rushed under the truck and truck. Uncle John couldn't help but kneel down in the surging water. Dad helped him up and walk towards the truck.

Hoberg turned around and ran to the truck, lifted the tarpaulin covered by the front of the truck, and jumped onto the truck. But the engine couldn't start.

Dad and Uncle John walked into the truck. Wei Taiqiang was lying quietly on the mattress, and his mother sat beside her and slapped her with a piece of cardboard. Dad asked, "How is she?" Mom looked at Dad, then lowered her head again, "Very good. I'm asleep." Mrs. Yu Yali came over and pulled her father's arm to a corner. The lantern in her hand curled up in an apple box with a blue body. She whispered:

"It's dead when born." Back to my mother, my father wanted to squat down, but his legs were too exhausted, but he knelt down.

Mom stared at him blankly, her eyes wide open like a sleeper. Dad said, "We have done our best." "I know." "A tree hangs the embankment." "I know." "Did you hear the sound of the water under the car?" "I heard."

"Maybe it will flood the car." "I know." "You know everything." Mom stopped talking.

Dad asked, "We did something wrong? Is there any other way?" Mom said sympathetically, "Don't complain. What's the matter! It doesn't matter, there will always be changes - the whole change." "We may have to leave."

"When it's time to leave, we'll leave. We'll do what we have to do. Don't wake her up now." The angry voice of Heberg and a man came from outside. The man wanted to talk to his father, thinking that if his father hadn't come up with the bad idea of ​​repairing the dike, they would have left long ago. Now the car couldn't drive. Heberg quarreled with him and said, "You're going to drive when we think our car?" Dad stood up, walked to the door, and said, "Heberg, I'm here. We have a patient, let's go up there and tell me." The rain gently spilled on the roof of the car. Mrs. Yu Yali walked to her mother, "Sister-in-law, you sleep for a while. I'll come with her." Mom said, "No, I'm not tired." "I don't believe it. Lying down for a while."

"Thank you, you are so kind." "No need to thank you. Everyone is in a bad situation. If I am sick, you will also help." "Yes. Of course I will help." "Everyone is the same." "Everyone is the same. In the past, we always take care of our family first. Now we can't, we will do the same to everyone. The more difficult life is, the more we need to help others."

Mrs. Yu Yali took the cardboard from her mother's hand, and her mother lay down next to her daughter.

Dad, Hoberg and Uncle John were sitting at the door of the car, watching the blue-gray dawn arrive. The rain had stopped, and there were many gloomy clouds in the sky. When the sun shone, it would be reflected on the water. Hoberg estimated that if the water surged into the car, it would be flooded at most three or four hours. They could remove the sidebar of the truck and set up a platform in the truck, so that they could not only sit in people or pile things. Dad guessed that the water would still rise, and said, "Just do it." Mom suddenly screamed in her dream:

"Tom! Oh, Tom! Tom!" Mrs. Yu Yali comforted her a few words, then stood up and walked to the door and said, "That thing cannot be kept here all the time. It will only cause trouble and make people sad to see it. Can you take it out and bury it?" Dad said to Uncle John:

"You buried it, and Hoberg and I went to the truck to remove the wooden boards, okay?" Uncle John was very unhappy at the beginning, but then said, "Okay, give it to me, it's okay, I'll go." He originally planned to bury the apple box containing the body, but when he was about to put it into the surging rapids. He said, "Room quickly! Just shout for justice!" Dad was going to the shop to buy bread. Hoberg and Uncle John moved the removed wooden boards into the truck.

Mom woke up and asked what they were doing. She turned around to see Wei Taiqiang. Wei Taiqiang had also woken up and asked:

"Mom, little thing - how about it?" Mom couldn't hide it anymore, and knelt on the mattress and said, "You can still regenerate. We have tried our best to do it." Wei Taiqiang wanted to hold it up, but lay down again, covering his eyes with his hands.

Dad bought all the remaining money. After lunch, Yode and Yu Yali's family set up the platform. The water flooded in, and the two families moved up the platform. Mom planned to hold a corner with Dad, Uncle John and Heberg, and moved Wei Taiqiang and the mattress to the platform. Wei Taiqiang said, "I will leave, I'm fine." She whispered to her mother. Mom reached into the blanket to touch Wei Taiqiang's **, and ordered the family to spend a day and night on the platform. The next morning, Wei Taiqiang whispered to his mother a few more words, and his mother said loudly, "We have to leave, go to the high point. Whether you go or not, I will take Wei Taiqiang and two tricks away anyway."

Except for He Berg who wanted to stay with Aqi, he was willing to leave. Dad held Wei Taiqiang and Uncle John carried Lucy on his back, and Winfield rode on his mother's shoulders.

When we got on the road, our father and mother supported Wei Taiqiang and the whole family walked along the road. The rain started and it was getting heavier and heavier. Mom said, "We have to leave quickly. If Wei Taiqiang is soaked, I don't know what kind of illness you will be." Dad said, "You didn't say where we are going!" A warehouse stood on a small hill far away on the left side of the road. Mom said, "Look, I dare to make sure it's done there. Let's go there!" They ran into the rain-soaked

In the warehouse, there were some farm tools and hay in it. Mom asked Wei Taiqiang to lie down and rest quickly. At this time, Winfield shouted, "Mom, look at that corner!" There was a man lying on his back in the corner, and a boy sat beside him. Mom looked at it, and saw the boy standing up, walking to Mom, and asking with a cry, "Is this place yours?" Mom said, "No. We are here to hide from the rain. I have a sick daughter. Do you have dry blankets? I want to borrow it.

So that she could change the wet clothes." The boy returned to the corner, took a dirty quilt, and handed it to his mother.

Mom thanked her and asked, "What's wrong with that person?" The boy said, "I was sick at first, but now he is almost starving to death."

"What?" "He's almost starved. He hasn't eaten for six days." Mom walked to the corner and looked down at the man. He was fifty, with a beard and terrible thin, and stared blankly at his eyes. Mom asked the child: "Is it your father?" The child nodded and said yes, the illness he got when picking cotton was too weak, so he begged his mother to give him some food. Mom reassured the boy, and said that he would change his daughter's wet clothes. Back to his daughter, Mom lifted the quilt to block her daughter, asked her to take off the wet clothes, and then wrapped the quilt on her daughter. The boy kept explaining beside her mother:

"I don't know how to do it. Last night, I went out and broke someone's window and stole a bread and persuaded him to eat it. But he vomited it all. He had to drink some soup or milk." Suddenly, he shouted in surprise: "He is dying!

Really, he is about to starve to death! You are not a human being!" Dad and Uncle John stood there helplessly. Mom looked at them and looked at Wei Taiqiang wrapped in the quilt. She glanced at Wei Taiqiang's eyes, looked into the distance, and then returned to her daughter's eyes. The two of them looked at each other in a moment. Their daughter's breathing became rapid, and she said:

"Okay." Mom smiled slightly, "I guess you will agree. I expected it." Wei Taiqiang whispered:

"You-you all go out, okay?" Mom bent down, tickled her daughter's hair on her forehead, and kissed her forehead. Then she said, "Go out, go to the farm shed." After everyone walked out together, she turned around and closed the clattering door. Mom also knew that Tom was right, but she always wanted him to stay close. She hadn't seen Tom for a long time, and now she couldn't see her, so she asked Tom how she was doing. Tom said it was very good. Mom asked Tom to move closer, reached out to touch his head, then touched his nose, and then touched his left cheek, and said, "You have a big scar and your nose is crooked." Tom thought this was a good thing, and maybe no one could recognize him.

If he had never left handprints in prison, he would be so happy that he could not say it.

Mom said, "Let me touch you again. I want to remember you, even if you touch your fingers, you will have a memory.

You must leave, Tom." She told Tom to reach out and said, "We did a good job. I secretly saved some money. I brought seven dollars here." Tom said, "I can't take your money. I have a way to keep going."

"If you don't bring some money, I won't be able to sleep. Maybe you have to take a bus or have other uses. I hope you can run farther and run three or four hundred miles." "I don't want this money." "Take it, did you hear it? You shouldn't make me sad. I think you can go to a big city. When you get there, people won't look for you anymore." Tom turned his words and said to his mother: "You guess I'm hiding alone all day and night, who's thinking in my heart? Kaisui! He has told many truths and often makes me hate it. But now I remember what he said. He said that once he went to the wilderness to find his soul, and he found that his soul was just a part of a big soul. He said that the wilderness was not good, because if his soul was not together with the rest and became a whole, it would be no good. It's so strange, how could I remember so clearly. At that time, I didn't listen at all.

Now I understand that it is useless to leave alone." Mom asked Tom what he planned in the future?

After being silent for a long time, Tom said that he remembered the situation in the shelter. Why can't he live like that everywhere?

He also said that he would do what Kaisui did. He was always thinking about it. If he gathered all the people and shouted like those who were on strike in the farm. My mother said worriedly: "How can I find out about you in the future?

They might hurt you, maybe kill you. How do I know?" Tom said with an uncomfortable smile:

"Maybe Kaisui is right. A person does not have his own soul, but only part of a big soul. Then--" "So what, Tom?" "That doesn't matter. I'm just wandering around in secret.

I am everywhere - no matter which side you are facing, you can see me. As long as there are hungry people fighting for food, there are me. As long as there are policemen hitting people, there are me. When people are angry, they will scream and shout, and I will shout with them. The hungry children will laugh when they know that they can cook dinner, and I will laugh with them. We ordinary people eat the food they grow and live in the houses they build. At that time, I will be there. Oh my God, I say this like Kaisui.

I think he was thinking too much, sometimes he seemed to see him." Mom didn't understand Tom's meaning very much. Tom said he himself didn't understand, and he couldn't walk around alone, so he would inevitably have to think randomly.

It was time for my mother to go back, she must ask Tom to take the money. Tom did not push her, and walked out of the hole with her hand, saying "goodbye". My mother also said "goodbye" and left quickly. His eyes were wet and burnt, but he didn't cry.

When she got on the road, my mother heard footsteps behind her back. She turned around in panic. A man rushed up. He was a small farmer with twenty acres of cotton. He was a little too late. Now he could pick it. He wanted to hire some people to pick it and pay a salary of 90 cents and 100 pounds. My mother asked the location and said, "We must go." Back in a truck, my father and Uncle John sat there with Mr. Yu Yali, who lived on the other end of the truck, with his back against the wall. My mother talked about picking cotton somewhere else tomorrow. My father said it would be best to drive the truck and pick more early. The cotton here is almost finished picking. Yu Yali asked if they could go there too.

Mom said, of course it is possible; she also said that Yu Yali's family can take his truck and the two gasoline companies are split equally. Yu Yali is very grateful, and Mom said that this will benefit both parties.

My father told my mother that Mr. Yu Yali came to talk to them about something. Yu Yali was very worried about this matter. It turned out that his daughter Aqi was wandering around with He Boge every night, and maybe something went wrong. Aqi was already an adult and should have a husband. Yu Yali and his wife did not blame He Boge, and they liked him very much. They were just worried that once the two families broke up, Aqi would make trouble again. They were unwilling to embarrass him. Mom promised Yu Yali that she would not embarrass him, and dad would tell He Boge; if his father refused to say it, she would tell He Boge himself. Yu Yali thanked him, bypassed the tarpaulin block separated in the carriage, and went to that end.

Mom called Dad and Uncle John to her side, sat on the mattress together, and whispered to them: "I sent Tom away and went to a far place." Dad and Uncle John felt that they had to do so. Dad said:

"I know. I'm useless anymore. I always think about the past situation. I always think about my hometown, and the situation here seems to be invisible. It's so strange that women are the masters of their homes! Women call this and that, and they call this and that, and I don't care." Mom comforted him and said, "Women can adapt to the environment than men. Women live with their hands, and men live with their brains. Don't worry. Maybe we can get a piece of land next year." How can dad not worry? He has nothing in his hands and will soon be unable to find a job for a long time.

Besides, Wei Taiqiang's childbirth period is not far away. In order to avoid these heart-wrenching things, he always recalls the past. He said, "We are like we are done in this life." Mom smiled and said, "No, it's not over. Only women understand this principle. A man's life is jumping - a child is born and dies when he is old. This is a jump; a piece of land is thrown away, which is another jump. As for women, a woman's life is like a river, constantly flowing forward. This is how women think about life. We will not be finished.

People are always moving forward, and even though someone dies, the rest are stronger. They have to live a better life in front of them. They can't relax a day." Mom told Uncle John to remember his wife, "It would be great if she was not dead at the beginning-" A slow footstep on the pedal, and Hoberg walked in from the tarpaulin block. Mom called him over and said they were talking. Hoberg said he was about to talk, and he was leaving soon. Mom asked him why he wanted to leave, and Hoberg said he wanted to get married with Aqi, and he planned to find a job in the car shop. He heard that Hoberg and Aqi were going to get married, and his mother was so happy that he just hoped he would not leave for the time being. Mrs. Yu Yali, who was on the tarpaulin block, also heard the good news announced by Hoberg, and happily leaned over and said that it was a pity that there was no wedding cake, so it was better to make a piece of wedding cake or something.

My mother said, "Let me make some coffee and make some pancakes." Mrs. Yu Yali said, "That's great!

I'll take some candy and put it in the pancake." While my mother was busy with flour, Wei Taiqiang came back from outside and asked her mother what was going on. Hearing that He Boge and Aqi wanted to get married, she looked at He Boge silently, turned around and walked out again. She walked to the stream, entered the willow forest, and lay on her back deep in the willow forest. She felt the child in her belly was heavy.

The next day, before dawn, my mother got up. As soon as the stove was started, Wei Taiqiang sat up. My mother found that Wei Taiqiang was different from usual and asked her what she was worried about. Wei Taiqiang said she wanted to pick cotton too. My mother disagreed with Wei Taiqiang because her childbirth period was about to come. But Wei Taiqiang insisted on going. My mother asked her if the matter between He Berg and Aqi caused her thoughts? After asking several times, my daughter did not answer.

He shouted at the family, and Yu Yali's house also started moving. Heberg muttered, "It's not dawn that I can't pick cotton."

Mom said she had to arrive there before dawn. Both families were ready
