Su Mu sat quietly beside him, listening to Tang Wen's words. He knew that if Tang Wen didn't say these words, he would probably never have the chance to hear them again.

This is a father's last words!

"Ke'er's studies have always been very good, which is what I am most satisfied with. Other children have to study, but my daughter, Tang Wen, knows what she is doing in school. Ke'er, if you remember your father's words, if you want to get out of this mountain and live a good life, you must study hard. Dad doesn't want you to stay by the monkey's back after your father dies." Tang Wen said slowly.

"Dad, I know, I will work hard!" Tang Ke said with a sob.

"County Magistrate Su, you should be familiar with our Ke'er at all. I also know that you are a good leader. When Heishan Town was so poor, you paid for it yourself to buy books, paper and pen for the children here. We see all your kindness to us and remember it in our hearts. Although some words were not said, they did not mean that we didn't understand." Tang Wen paused and continued.

"Brother Tang Wen, this is what I should do. And I can promise you now that as long as I am in power for one day, I will definitely bring Heishan Town out of poverty and let every household here live a good life." Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"I believe!" Tang Wen nodded, and when he looked at Tang Ke, a loving look suddenly ejaculated in his eyes, "Tang Ke, kneel down for County Magistrate Su!"

"father?"

"Brother Tang Wen?"

Tang Ke and Su Mu were stunned. They didn't know what Tang Wen meant. You just said clearly. Why should you kneel down? But Tang Wen was stubborn and his face calmed down on the spot.

"Don't you kneel down?"

Plop!

Facing Tang Wen's voice, Tang Ke did not hesitate any longer. After confirming that Tang Wen was not saying the wrong thing, he immediately knelt down for Su Mu without thinking. This made Su Mu feel a little uncomfortable and hurriedly stood up and wanted to help Tang Ke up. At the same time, he said anxiously: "Brother Tang Wen, what do you mean?"

"County Magistrate Su, I know you are a good person, but I really don't have a few days to survive. I have no chance to pay back the medical expenses I owe you in my life. I can only ask Tang Ke to pay it back. But Tang Ke is just a student now, and I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability. So if you don't dislike it, let Tang Ke be a nanny for you while studying, and when will you pay off your debt? " Tang Wen said in a solemn voice.

"Nonsense!"

Su Mu said coldly, his face surging with anger, "Tang Ke, stand up for me!"

"I..." Tang Ke hesitated.

"You, what are you? Have you forgotten what I said to you before? A man has gold under his knees, so why can't a woman beat a man? If you dare to kneel down again, I will get up and leave immediately!" Su Mu said coldly.

Facing Su Mu who was stern, Tang Ke never dared to kneel down, stood up obediently, and frowned slightly at the sight of Tang Wen.

"Brother Tang Wen. I know what you mean. You don't have to worry about money. You should know that I won't care about the money. Not only do I don't care, but I can also tell you that if you really have any problems, Tang Ke will not become a lonely person. Because I will take your place and continue to take care of her until she is willing to leave me." Su Mu turned sideways and looked at Tang Ke's eyes.

"Tang Ke, are you willing to recognize my brother?"

It's shocking!

Tang Ke never dreamed that things would change like this, and Su Mu actually wanted to recognize her as her fucking sister. You should know what Su Mu is now and what is her identity. One is the superior deputy county magistrate, and the other is a poor and poor girl from a poor family.

Now, Su Mu actually said that he would recognize himself as his sister. If he hadn't heard this with his own ears, Tang Ke would not believe that it was true.

"Ke'er, why are you still standing stupidly? Thank you brother now!" Tang Wen shouted anxiously with a cough.

"Ah, ah...brother!" Tang Ke shouted instinctively.

Until now, Tang Ke has not woken up from the shock. Why did Su Mu become his brother for no reason? This is simply too surprising.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Wen laughed out loud, "I didn't expect that Tang Wen, I, could find a brother for Tang Ke. Just for this great thing, I'll have a few drinks. Ke'er, don't stand stupidly, and why don't you go to cook quickly."

"Okay!" Tang Ke turned around and left.

It was not until there were only three people left in the room that Tang Wen smiled apologetically at Su Mulu, "County Magistrate Su, you are a very smart person. You should have guessed what I said just now and asked Tang Ke to kneel down for you. That's right, I admit that I was thinking of finding a backer for Tang Ke.

If I die and Tang Ke is left alone, how can she live? As long as Tang Ke can live happily, even if I don’t want this old face, I will accept it. But I didn’t expect that County Magistrate Su, you are really willing to accept Tang Ke. County Magistrate Su is my villain.”

It turned out that Tang Wen said those words and made those arrangements for Tang Ke. Just as he said, if he could find a solid backer for Tang Ke, what's wrong with his old face even if he didn't have it?

"Brother Tang Wen, don't worry, I like Tang Ke very much. She is a smart child. I have covered all her problems in school and employment in the future." Su Mu promised.

"I'm relieved!" Tang Wen breathed. As these words were said, his spirit was obviously much weaker than before.

The things that I couldn't let go of in my heart have been arranged, and Tang Wen really has nothing to regret.

"father!"

But what Tang Wen didn't know was that when he was saying these words, Tang Ke did not walk far away, but was next to the window. After hearing Tang Wen's words, her body began to tremble constantly, bit her mouth and force herself to not shed tears.

Tang Ke's idea was very simple. Even if it was only a few days, she didn't want Tang Wen to be angry. She wanted to send Tang Wen away happily.

Su Mu did not leave that night, so he stayed at Tang Wen for dinner. After dinner, he waited until Tang Wen went to bed. He called Tang Ke out.

"Tang Ke, you have heard your father's words. You take the money, I know you are a girl with a xing. But this money is not given to you, but you are asking you to take care of your father in the past few days. Also, from today on, you don't have to be so polite to me. You should know that this is not a gift, and I won't do that." Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"County Magistrate Su, my father..."

"Tang Ke, don't call me County Magistrate Su in the future. Have you forgotten that you are my sister now?" Su Mu's face became unhappy.

"Yes, brother!" Tang Ke whispered.

"That's right." Su Mu smiled and said, "When you arrange everything, go back to school. I will handle it for you during this period~~~."

"Yes!" Tang Ke nodded.

"Tang Ke, some things are always going to go through. I know you may be in a bad mood now, but you have to know that your father doesn't want you to be depressed. Everything he does is for your own good. If you make his efforts have no value, you will be sorry to him. I say that, do you understand?" Su Mu asked.

"I understand! I won't let my dad down, brother. I know what to do." Tang Ke said in a deep voice.

"That's good! I won't live here tonight, and I will rush back to the county tomorrow. In the next few days, if you have any questions, call me." Su Mu said.

"Um!"

Su Mu gave a few more words of advice. Then he and Du Lian got up and walked towards Heishan Town. He walked this road countless times, and even if he closed his eyes, he would not go wrong.

Tang Ke looked at Su Mu's gradually leaving, holding the money given to him by Su Mu tightly in his little hand, and secretly made a vow in his heart that would never change in his life.

Walking on the mountain path, Su Mu lit a cigarette and handed Du Lian a little. As the smoke rose, he spoke calmly.

"Isn't it very strange? Why did I agree to Brother Tang Wen?"

"It's a bit strange, but it's not strange now." Du Lian held the cigarette but did not lit it.

"Why?" Su Mu asked.

"County magistrate, don't worry, you know, when I was assigned to the county, I was very ignorant. When I encountered problems, I always thought from my own perspective. Sometimes I didn't speak through my brain and always thought it was self-righteous. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been taken down by County Mayor Zhang and left the bench for a year.

This year's cold bench time has made me know a lot of things and think a lot. I understand that if you want to survive in this system, you must compromise. Blindly being high-profile and blindly being self-centered will be the most terrifying thing. Maybe one day it will ruin you.

It was Director Wu who gave me this opportunity, which I cherish very much. Being able to follow the county magistrate and learn something is the thing I am most grateful for. The county magistrate asked me why it is not surprising. In fact, the reason is very simple, because what I saw and heard in Heishan Town have told me how much effort you have put into this land.

And your efforts are exchanged for the respect of everyone here. From the eyes of the monkey carrying those people, I can feel their respect for you. A county magistrate who can make all these people respect have no strange things to promise Tang Wen. County magistrate, I am not flattering you, I just want to tell you that if you give me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it and will never disappoint you."

Du Lian's words were carefully considered. Originally, if Su Mu didn't ask him, he wouldn't say it. But since he asked, Du Lian was not prepared to hesitate. He knew that his status was now very awkward and had not been fully recognized by Su Mu. These words were not only a true portrayal of his heart, but also a statement he made to Su Mu.

There is a saying that Du Lian didn't actually say, that is, this is the first time he said these words to Su Mu, expressing his attitude, and the last time he said it. From tonight, Du Lian's life will only do it, and prove himself with the most real actions, and will not say it again.

Listening to Du Lian's answer, Su Mu did not point out anything wrong, but smiled slightly and said calmly: "Go!"

It was these two words that made Du Lian’s heart completely fall. He knew that from this moment on, Su Mu recognized him. This recognition was completely different from the previous affirmation, and it had extraordinary significance.

Du Lian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart with absolute perseverance and lit the cigarette. His fingers trembled slightly, put them to his mouth and took a deep breath.

This smoke is so exciting!

At night, two figures and two cigarettes walked slowly...
