Chapter 14 The Honest Man
Midnight, boiler room.
There were 42 trucks of coal in total, all piled up in the center of the courtyard in a mess.
A pissy lantern was set up in the southeast corner, and the servants squatted into a circle around the light, holding their own bowls and chopsticks to make their heads dry.
Because it was the night before the boiler room and it was a dirty work that was put into use, so I finally saw some oily food for this late-night snack - the staple food was corn flour cakes, and the side dish was fried with dried beans and bacon.
But this is not the main reason why everyone is silent and doesn't say a word.
What really caused everyone to silence was the weird threesome under the Western Wall:
Come to the center.
Next to his left hand was pan You'an, who was sucking vegetables while sucking the burnt holes; next to his right hand, he was pan You'an, who was lying down his head and almost buried his face in the corn cake.
Considering the conflict between Pan Youan and Laishun and Jiao Da when assigned errands, the three of them got together at this time, which was a bit unreasonable no matter how they looked.
What's more, everyone had seen with their own eyes that Pan Youan actually replaced Jiao Da and sold the coolies with Laishun for half a night.
If there is nothing wrong with this, I am afraid no one will believe it.
Therefore, the servants were eating silently while secretly looking at the three people under the western wall. Among them, Pan Youan was the one who received the most attention.
After all, this young man was full of energy when he appeared, but now he was covered in dust, like a defeated rooster.
The changes before and after are so huge that it really makes people want to explore what happened during this period.
And how could Pan Youan not feel this kind of gaze that was just like a substance?
He was already thin and it was the first time he worked hard to do hard work. At this time, his whole body was sore and his hands holding the job were trembling.
But the soreness and pain in his body seemed unremarkable compared to his inner humiliation.
This shouldn't be the case!
The first time, I had my own job and unexpectedly became a small manager. The two happy events were superimposed on each other, which should have been a dreamy start.
However……
Why did it become like this?!
Tears flowed down again, dripping on the cornmeal cake.
"Cough~"
At this moment, Laishun suddenly coughed dryly, and Pan Youan hid to the side like a conditioned reflex. Then he felt that it was inappropriate and quickly moved his body back.
He was hunched over like a quail, and he didn't dare to move, but his heart was beating wildly.
What is this reckless man going to do?
Could it be, could it be that I want to continue to humiliate myself in full view of everyone?
Can't!
Absolutely not possible!
If he dares to do that, he will...
As I thought about it, not only was the tears pouring down, but even my nose couldn't stop swelling out.
And his already sore hands and feet seemed to have their bones removed, trembling, and they could hardly even hold on to the wooden bowl.
"Everyone."
At this time, I heard Shun laugh and said, "I am a man who is a good person since I was a child. I have rarely really convinced anyone, but I am really convinced today."
As he said that, he raised his head and put it on Pan Youan's shoulder, and continued, "We Pan..."
Bang ~
The wooden bowl in Pan You'an's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
The air seemed to solidify at this moment.
Laishun was stunned for a moment, then bent down and picked up the wooden bowl, sighing: "Look, look, how tired Manager Pan is!"
As he said that, he was going to put on his burnt shoulder again, but the old man said nothing and pointed the tip of the chopsticks at his ribs.
Laishun had to stop and shouted: "At first, when I was dispatching work, because Old Man Jiao was too far away, Manager Pan didn't see what he looked like. Later, when he saw that his beard turned pale, he asked about his age, and when he asked about it, his age was eighty-five, we Manager Pan immediately felt compassion."
"If this is to be put on me, at most it will be to waive Old Man Jiao's errands and allow him to be an exception."
"But our manager Pan told me that since all the errands have been assigned, it would be unfair to others if the work of Old Man Jiao is exempted from it! And since this matter is his negligence first, he should be responsible for Old Man Jiao's lack of money!"
Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed: "After all, he is a person who has read books. His words and actions are different from ours!"
After saying that, he got up and walked to the center of the crowd, helped Pan Youan to serve some vegetables, and delivered them to Pan Youan with two cornmeal cakes, and said earnestly: "Manager Pan, I know you are tired, but you have to fill in some of them."
Pan Youan stared at him in a daze, as if he was suspicion that there was hallucination in front of him.
After a while, he suddenly lowered his head and wiped his face with his sleeve, then took the meal, rushed up like chicken blood, and shouted: "Rules are rules. Once they are decided, they cannot be changed randomly! But why can Pan bear it if he lets the eighty-year-old man take the hard labor? He has to do it with all his strength!"
This ups and downs were passionate and passionate, and the decadent appearance just now was a difference between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Laishun simply left this "stage" to Pan Youan and quietly squatted back to its original place.
"Boy."
As soon as he finished squatting, Jiao Da was handing a strange look at him: "Are you trying to conquer him?"
"It's not that easy to really convince people."
Lashun leaned against the wall and said lazily: "Besides, is there a bird to conquer him? I just feel that it would be a pity to meet such a cowardly person if he was easily driven away by others."
After hearing this, Jiao Da looked at him again for a while, and suddenly cursed: "Damn it, what Grandpa Jiao hated most when he was young is a person who was full of colorful things - if it was twenty years earlier, I would have to spit on you in the face now!"
“Haha~”
Lai Shun grinned at him and said seriously: "It will take a month in the morning, and 'I'll have to hit you with a flowery face now."
Jiao Da widened his eyes, but Laishun picked up his own bowl, snuggled it clean, then grew up, and sang: "If you eat enough, you will be dispersed. Isn't you going to work tomorrow morning?"
Pan Youan's long speech was interrupted, but he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll have to go to work tomorrow. When I'm full, I'll go back to my own house."
It is said that everyone goes back to their own homes, but most of the chores in this hospital sleep in the big bunk beds - but these are all details, and no one will correct Pan Youan's statement for this.
When everyone left in groups of three or three, only the rest of the house, Jiao Da and Pan Youan were left.
Pan Youan returned to his cowardly appearance and rushed forward timidly, opening his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After all, he still hasn't figured out why Laishun wanted to help him save face.
But it sounded like: "Zhao Yi, Zhang Bing must have seen it. You'd better take some hush money to avoid them from spreading it."
In fact, Laishun had already told these two people to keep their mouths tight.
However, since you are your own people, it is natural to help them get some benefits.
"I know."
Pan Youan responded timidly, and couldn't help but stutter: "Why are you, why..."
"Xiao Pan."
Laishun came up and hooked his neck again, and said earnestly: "A honest man like my brother is the least willing to have conflicts with others. Isn't it good for everyone to be kind?"
After following his words, Pan Youan was reluctant to believe it, but he still said to him: "Yes, yes, it would be best if everyone can be harmonious."
“Huh?”
Lai Shun looked at Pan Youan in surprise: "Do you think so too?"
"Of course, I...uh!"
Pan Youan nodded subconsciously, but he suddenly exerted force without hesitation. His face turned from white to red, and then turned from red to blue, and then he closed his strength.
Pan Youan gasped violently and coughed, and then he heard Shun ask in his ear: "Since you know, why do you still provoke me? Is it a bully of honest people not getting angry?"
As he said that, he pinched his chin again, letting him face his eyes, and said word by word: "Brother, I will teach you good today. If you really make the honest man angry, you may not be able to hold back your strength!"
Before Pan Youan responded, Laishun pushed him away again and muttered: "I'm leaving, I have to hurry up and have a sleep when I go back."
After leaving this, he left with his own strength.
Pan Youan looked at his back in shock, his eyes full of fear and panic.
"What about you making fun of it every day?"
At this time, Jiao Da cursed: "You are considered an honest Jaguar!"
"Hahaha……"
Lai Shun laughed loudly and asked without looking back: "Old man, I will treat you to drink tomorrow night, will you come?"
