Chapter 123 The Brothers’ Way Out
Liu Shucheng was afraid that his elder brother would not use him because he was too young, so he patted his chest to show that he was very strong.

He said firmly: "Brother, please rest assured that I have a strong spirit of hard work, and I can also operate a gun skillfully."

When Liu Zhiye heard this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for this cousin. He could just laugh it off for others, but this was his own cousin.

He thought silently that these days, rural children have to endure much more hardships than urban children to get into high school.

He not only has a high IQ, but also has extraordinary perseverance. He has admirable qualities and will be able to achieve great success in the future.

He shook his head gently and refused firmly.

Seeing this, Liu Shucheng's eyes dimmed, and he was obviously disappointed. Could it be that this matter still couldn't be accomplished? He couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Liu Zhiye's words were full of emotion, but he said sincerely: "Shucheng, listen to my advice. You still have one year to prepare for the college entrance examination, which is undoubtedly precious. I want to tell you today that you should not give up easily. You still have a chance to get into college."

"Then your life will be completely changed. Even if you fail the exam, you will still have a high school diploma, which will be enough to get you a job as a local government official."

“This diploma will open up more possibilities for your future and give you more opportunities to pursue your dreams.”

Liu Shucheng lowered his head, his heart filled with pain and loss. He had always wanted to be as successful as his second uncle's family. For this dream, he had silently endured the hardship of studying hard for many years.

However, the reality made him feel extremely frustrated. His family's financial situation could no longer support his studies, and he even began to worry about whether he could continue to make a living.

In this quiet moment, the third uncle Liu Tianyuan, who knew the situation, whispered in Liu Zhiye's ear with a weak but kind voice, telling him about the situation at Liu Shucheng's home.

After listening to the third uncle's story, Liu Zhiye suddenly realized Liu Shucheng's difficulties. He deeply felt the inner distress and struggle of this little brother, and couldn't help but feel sorry and sympathetic for him.

Seeing the lost and helpless look of his brother in front of him, he suddenly felt an impulse in his heart and couldn't control himself.

"Shucheng! Then tell me, do you still want to go to college?"

Liu Shucheng said hesitantly in a low voice: "I do!" His voice was as small as a mosquito and almost inaudible.

Liu Zhiye shouted loudly: "Louder, tell me, do you want to or not?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shucheng shouted in grief and indignation: "Think! Think! I want to! You bastard doesn't want to." His face turned red as he shouted, and his voice was high-pitched, full of unwillingness and helplessness.

Liu Zhiye patted him on the shoulder, his encouraging eyes full of determination and care, and then he said softly: "Okay! It's good that you are unwilling to give up. I will support you to go to college." These words were full of affection and kindness, which made people feel extremely warm and touching.

Liu Shucheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes sparkled with disbelief. He stammered, "Brother, you are not lying to me, are you? Is this true?" His voice was full of disbelief and excitement. A miracle really happened to him.

Liu Zhiye gave him a firm and trusting look, as if to say: "Don't worry, I keep my word."

When this scene unfolded before his eyes, Liu Shucheng could no longer suppress his inner joy. In his excitement, he wanted to kneel down and thank Liu Zhiye sincerely, but Liu Zhiye held him back.

At this moment, Liu Shucheng's heart was filled with gratitude and emotion, and he became more determined to follow Liu Zhiye.

Everyone present in the Liu family's old house was deeply moved by this scene of brotherly love.

They were all deeply moved and praised him highly, saying that this was the example of a leader and true brotherhood.

"Wow! Brother Zhiye is so generous, you are really our role model and example!" A brother said excitedly and raised his thumb high to show the highest praise.

"Brother! Having your care is enough. We brothers are very grateful. We will not trouble you anymore." This brother had shallow eye sockets and his eyeballs were red. He said nothing more, bowed and was about to leave. It was really touching.

Seeing this, Liu Zhiye pressed his hands down to appease him. Then he said passionately: "I want to tell you that Shucheng's situation is not unique. If anyone among you has a similar situation, I will do my best to help. I will treat everyone equally." His voice was full of determination and determination, making everyone present feel his enthusiasm and sincerity.

He turned around and said to his third uncle Liu Yuanhai sincerely: "Please remember that if any of our Liu family's children have difficulty in going to school in the future, they can ask me for help. I will do my best to support them in completing their studies until they can enter university." ...

After dealing with Liu Shucheng's affairs, Liu Zhiye began to care about the situation of his other four brothers.

These brothers are all fine. They are all young people who have graduated. Some have already been arranged for jobs, some are waiting for positions to be confirmed, or have found jobs but are not satisfied.

As for those who couldn't find a job, it was not common to see high school students in the Red Star Factory. They were asked whether they were willing to work as workers, clerks, or security guards in the factory.

As a result, the two brothers, Liu Shuming and Liu Shujia, both resolutely chose to become security guards. They had always longed for the police uniform.

Liu Zhiye felt secretly relieved. After all, his younger brother Liu Zhitai had been transferred to the Public Security Bureau, and he urgently needed a few loyal people to help him control the Security Department.

Afterwards, he told the 30 people with only a junior high school diploma, "This year, the Red Star Factory Security Department only plans to recruit more people. Half of them need to be retired military personnel."

"So, we will only recruit a dozen people from the society. The competition is too great. I can arrange for you to participate in the selection, but whether you can stay depends on your own efforts. I will not give you a backdoor."

"However, those who are 18 to 22 years old still have another chance. That is to join the army. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can still succeed."

He paused, giving everyone time to digest the information.

Then, with deep confidence and enthusiasm, he said: "I am a living example. I first joined the army, went through hardships, and then made meritorious service and was promoted. I took steady steps and finally achieved what I have today." His words were full of determination and pride, as if he was showing people his life path and the challenges and victories he had experienced.

"So! A good man should be a soldier."

"One person joins the army, the whole family is honored!"

My brother-in-law Liu Fusheng said helplessly: "But the number of places for soldiers is really limited. Our village has a large population, but we can only send out four soldiers a year. It's really a pity."

After careful consideration, Liu Zhiye slowly said, "I have a good relationship with the Minister of Armed Forces of Dongcheng District. Perhaps I can try to find a connection and try to send out a few more people when recruiting soldiers this year."

"Brother-in-law! You should start from today, organize these brothers, strengthen their training, and strive for a greater advantage."

"Don't be so arrogant now, or you'll be in trouble later."

After hearing this, Liu Yuanhai nodded in agreement, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

He exclaimed: "This is already quite good! In this way, the livelihood problems of so many people have been solved at once, which was simply unimaginable in the past."

His words were full of admiration, expressing appreciation for being able to find a way out for so many people so quickly.

"It's just a pity, the remaining ones are all good guys."

Liu Zhiye smiled when he heard this. He comforted the other party and said, "Uncle, don't worry. You have to eat one bite at a time. If we can't do it this year, we still have next year!"

In fact, with his rich personal connections, he could have easily arranged for this person. However, it was not appropriate to do so, and his eating habits were really too ugly.

He is no longer an ordinary public official, but holds an important position. He needs to think twice before doing anything and not act recklessly.

He knew that the higher the official position, the greater the responsibility, and every move would be watched closely. Therefore, he always remained humble and low-key, leading by example and setting a good example for those around him.

In this era, reckless behavior is tantamount to self-destruction. In front of the powerful state machine, the power of an individual seems insignificant, and all arrogance seems so pale and powerless.
