"Uncle, you are still working here at your age?" Gu Chen was a little curious.
Although there are very few young people today who do this kind of physical work, it’s not like they want an old man to work here, right?
Gu Chenxin said what does this company think? "
"It's okay." The old man didn't mind. He patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, young man. I'm a temporary worker who was rehired. I get paid on a daily basis. I have some technical jobs that you young people may not have the same skills as us.
skilled."
"This is true." Gu Chen did not deny it.
Compared with experienced masters, some young people are really inferior.
After all, people have decades of experience in working day and night, so they are definitely more skilled than young people in terms of efficiency.
"Then..." Seeing Gu Chen staring at him all the time, the old man said with some embarrassment: "If there's nothing else, I'll go over there first. I still have to look at the pipe repairs over there."
"Okay, I won't disturb your work, but pay attention to your safety." Gu Chen took the initiative to give way to the passage.
The old man left with the toolbox...
At this time, Lu Weiwei also found Gu Chen and hurriedly walked to him and said: "Junior Brother Gu, Director Zhao asked us to leave a small number of people at the scene to continue to maintain order, while the others evacuated. What Lao Wang meant was that the three groups of us should stay
."
"No problem." Gu Chen was not surprised, he smiled and said, "It's appropriate for the third group to stay."
"Then let's go over there?" Lu Weiwei looked around for a week and said: "There are relevant companies here to repair, so let's not get involved. The circuit is now interrupted and the traffic lights are out of order. Director Zhao wants us to go over and help.
Traffic police, please maintain order at the scene."
"No problem." Gu Chen nodded and followed Lu Weiwei directly to the other side of the intersection to help vehicles pass safely.
It was not until noon that the traffic police arrived in batches and took over the assistance work of the Criminal Investigation Group Three of the Furong Branch.
Small engineering excavators have also temporarily cleaned up the damaged road surface.
Due to the old gas pipelines, leaks and ignition occurred, so the city gas company planned to conduct inspections one by one on other parts of the pipelines with safety hazards to avoid secondary leaks, so the repairs took a long time.
If the circuits in nearby streets are interrupted, they must also cooperate with the gas company's maintenance progress.
Therefore, by noon, many businesses that suffered power outages also closed their doors to wait for notification of incoming calls.
Gu Chen followed other new and old comrades from the third group and returned to the Furong branch canteen for dinner.
When the third group arrived, other departments had already come to the end of their meal. Fortunately, Master Kong left a lot of freshly baked hot meals for the third group.
Seeing that Gu Chen was a little absent-minded while eating, Lu Weiwei asked him curiously: "Junior Brother Gu, what's the matter? Are you worried?"
"It's nothing." Gu Chen smiled and said, "I saw an older worker working at the scene of the incident, and I felt a little distressed."
"Isn't it normal for workers to work?" Officer Wang took a mouthful of food and asked vaguely: "Don't you support them if they don't work?"
"But that worker looks like he's in his seventies, and his hair is all white." Gu Chen added.
In an instant, all the dining police officers at the table were stunned.
"Seven...more than seventy years old?" He Junchao asked in disbelief: "Gu Chen, are you sure you have no misunderstanding about age? Is it true that people in their fifties have gray hair, and then let
You look like you're in your seventies?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "Absolutely not. I can tell from the wrinkles on his face and his rough hands that he is an old man about seventy years old."
"And he also said that he was rehired on a temporary basis, which means that he has already retired from the company and is now just a temporary worker rehired by the employer."
"If you are still working hard outside in your seventies, tsk tsk, then his children are too unfilial." He Junchao couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this.
Officer Ding put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "What do you know? Your family is in good condition, how can you go out to work at such an old age? Or maybe they are too busy at home, so they work part-time and make money every day, why not?"
"
"And how many young people today can do such dirty and tiring work? I usually ask you He Junchao to go downstairs to carry a bucket of water, and you will scream."
Officer Ding also made him feel a little embarrassed. He Junchao also smiled and said: "Old Ding, if you say that, I won't do it anymore. Adults collapse quietly. Aren't you in a bad mood those days?"
"Senior Brother He is in a bad mood?" Gu Chen asked him curiously.
After all, in Gu Chen's eyes, He Junchao is an optimist every day. In the busy Group 3 office, who laughs the happiest? Besides Lu Weiwei, only He Junchao is there.
So He Junchao said that he was in a bad mood, and Gu Chen felt that it needed to be considered.
It also felt that Gu Chen was questioning, He Junchao immediately smiled and said: "I said Gu Chen, this adult collapses quietly. Maybe you look like we are normal, we can joke, play, and socialize.
But in fact, the bad things have accumulated to a certain extent.”
"We can't cry hysterically, let alone scream indifferently. After all, we have to go to work tomorrow and pretend that nothing happened, so of course you can't see the other side of my bad mood."
Gu Chen didn't know if what He Junchao said was true, but it seemed to make sense, so he nodded in cooperation.
Seeing Gu Chen's approval, He Junchao clapped his hands again and said, "So, it seems that the straw that broke the camel's back was the last straw, but little did we know that what we had endured before was already on the verge of collapse."
"We are the same way. We have no way to vent, we can only endure it. In the end, we will collapse under a little bit of pressure or a little thing."
"The collapse of adults like us is a process of self-healing while collapsing."
"Yo!" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but look at He Junchao with admiration after seeing He Junchao talk about all kinds of nonsense: "But why didn't I see it?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Do you need to see this?" He Junchao felt very funny and continued: "So I don't want to grow up at all. There may be time for homework. Really
It’s very beautiful, maybe this is society.”
"Haha." Seeing that He Junchao was also pretending to be serious, Officer Wang, who had finished his lunch, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said: "Today's young people can't endure hardship as much as the older generation."
"Because you feel unhappy at work, you can resign at will. You will change jobs again and again. In the end, you will just stay at home and eat your old age."
"Because it's hard to go to work and earn money, I feel like the warmth in my home is warm. The old people go out to work, and the young ones stay at home to care for their old age."
"Look at the old man Gu Chen mentioned. He is working outside in his seventies, so you should complain less and be more enthusiastic about your work."
After hearing what Officer Wang said, Lu Weiwei immediately echoed: "That's right, there's no point in complaining. You can only tolerate it and look mature, haha."
"Don't make trouble, it's like saying you won't go to work the day after tomorrow." He Junchao also looked at her with confusion and contempt.
Seeing that Gu Chen was silent, Lu Weiwei touched Gu Chen with her shoulder: "Junior brother Gu, what's wrong? Did you remember something sad again?"
"Absolutely." Gu Chen also took a few bites of rice, then put down his chopsticks and said, "Seeing this old man reminds me of my childhood."
"When you were a child?" Lu Weiwei rarely heard about Gu Chen's childhood, so her eyes widened: "What was Junior Brother Gu like when he was a child?"
Gu Chen smiled and said: "Seeing the old man reminds me of when I was a child, when my parents started doing business after they were laid off."
"When I saw my father's eyes reddened because of something one day, I knew that my father also felt very wronged, but he endured it in order to support our family."
"So when I saw that old man with calloused hands repairing pipes in such a cold weather, to be honest, I felt a little emotional."
"So that's it." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei stopped joking for a moment and said directly: "The laughter and curses during the day, the secret sadness at night, maybe this is the true portrayal of the older generation.
."
"Now we, especially me, will take the initiative to ask for overtime."
"Don't look at the snacks that I usually keep in my drawer. In fact, I wake up ten minutes earlier than the set alarm clock every day, because what wakes me up is not the money I make from going to work, but how many bags of nut snacks and clothes I can earn today, so
Mentality is really important.”
"Haha, it seems that Senior Sister Lu has a good attitude." Gu Chen was a little emotional at first, but when Lu Weiwei said it, he instantly felt not so bad.
Several trainee police officers looked at each other and began to discuss heatedly.
"Let's just talk about me. This year is the worst year I have ever encountered. There is no other one. I have never been so exhausted before that I went to the hospital because of work. I hope everything will be fine next year."
"Yes, I still have to work overtime."
"It's okay, I can get through it."
"The collapse of an adult only occurs in a moment, that is when the speed of self-healing cannot keep up with the speed of injury, and the whole body is injured."
"Haha, I feel so difficult."
"How long has it been since you laughed unscrupulously and without any scruples? How long has it been since the last time that pure, unbridled body, light and carefree happiness? Can you tell me?"
"Tell you, can you share the burden? We are all the same type of people."
"Ha ha……"
While everyone was laughing, they also looked at Gu Chen who was smiling.
"Gu Chen, what do you think?" Officer Wang also withdrew his smile and quickly asked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen smiled and said: "I think the collapse of adults may never come from those sudden changes that seem to be enough to destroy life. They will never be knocked down by any hammer. What knocks them down may always be a hammer."
A buzzing mosquito."
"Haha, that's interesting." Officer Wang was very interested in Gu Chen's views. It seemed that this kid looked at the problem in a very different way.
After everyone gathered in the cafeteria for a while, they all returned to the police dormitory to rest for a while. After that, they would start to promote posters in major communities to let everyone guard against new fraud methods that have recently emerged.
Due to the period from Christmas to New Year's Day, all police officers in Seremban Branch must be on duty.
Therefore, all the police officers of Furong Branch have been performing the darkness of day and night.
In addition to handling daily work during the day, at night, many police officers also carry printed police anti-fraud posters to several nearby residential communities, replace the poster boards, and remind residents who are walking by to
have a look.
Due to the heavy workload, we are usually divided into several groups.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Officer Wang's team had completed publicity work in six communities by 9:30 p.m.
Every time the posters are changed, a large number of residents will come to watch, so the explanation will take some time.
Ten p.m.
Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei came to the noodle shop where everyone often works the night shift to eat.
The noodle shop here stays open all night, and there are many customers here to eat. Most of them are drivers, delivery boys, and some workers working the night shift on the construction site.
The boss is very busy...
The fried noodles in the pot were flying in front of him.
When Gu Chen and others arrived, there were still more than a dozen packed lunch boxes in front of the boss, so Gu Chen and others found an empty seat and sat down first.
Then Officer Wang ordered three portions of beef fried noodles and crock pot soup.
The noisy crowds kept shuttling at the intersection of this alley, and the young people drinking were better at blowing than the others.
Officer Wang brought three portions of crock pot soup from the cooked food, and waited for about ten minutes before three portions of hot beef fried noodles were brought to the table.
"Police officers, please be patient. The store is a bit busy today, so I kept you waiting." The noodle shop owner is an old acquaintance of everyone.
The fried noodles that usually take only seven or eight minutes to prepare took more than double the time today, so the noodle shop owner also came over to apologize.
Gu Chen smiled: "It's okay. Boss, you are very busy in the store tonight. I have never seen you so busy before."
"That's not true." The shop owner also wiped his hands with his apron, and then smiled: "Didn't the gas pipes deteriorate during the day today?"
"I heard that the gas leaked into the basement where the electrical cables are contained, and then a spark ignited the gas. Then the power was cut off and the gas supply stopped."
"Many businesses are now closed, and the maintenance of gas pipelines may continue until tomorrow."
"So the electricity will be turned on tomorrow, so many work units are working overtime tonight, so there are more workers working the night shift nearby, so business is better than usual."
As soon as the noodle shop owner finished speaking, a worker carrying a dozen fried noodles smiled at him: "Boss, I'll leave first."
"Okay, let's go slowly." The noodle shop owner waved to him and said, "Welcome to come back next time."
Seeing the other party walking away, the noodle shop owner turned around, pointed at the other party's back and said, "Did you see that those workers wearing reflective vests were working overtime at the accident site, and there may be a bunch of people coming later."
"Isn't that great? The boss can double his income today." Lu Weiwei said with a smile.
The noodle shop owner rubbed his hands at Lu Weiwei and said with a smile: "Thank you, Officer Lu, but my store is just like this. I make more than 100,000 yuan a year. I am a little tired, but I can still get by."
go."
"Haha." Officer Wang was a little jealous when he heard that, and said quickly: "If I retire in the future, I will come and learn to make fried noodles from you. I heard that the old couple selling pancakes and fruits on West Street are in Jiangnan City.
I’ve already bought two apartments.”
"Haha, that's possible, I've heard about it too." The noodle shop owner is not modest either. After all, this is also the result of hard work.
If you want to buy two houses, you can imagine how many pancakes you have to sell every day.
At this time, an old man wearing a reflective vest with some dirt on his body walked into the store.
He looked at the price tag posted on the wall, turned to the boss and said, "Five beef fried noodles, hurry up."
"Okay, should we eat here or take it away?" the noodle shop owner asked.
"Take it away," the old man said.
"Okay, then you sit here first and I'll cook it for you right away." The noodle shop owner turned around and went to the kitchen.
Only then did Gu Chen notice that this old man was the one he had met during the day.
After looking around the store, the old man seemed to notice three uniformed policemen on one side of the corner.
Especially after looking at Gu Chen, he seemed familiar, so he squinted his eyes again.
Gu Chen waved to greet him: "Old man, we meet again."
"Oh, so you are the comrade policeman who maintained order at the scene of the gas pipeline rupture during the day?" The old man seemed to recognize Gu Chen, so he walked forward with a hunched back and chose the seat next to Gu Chen.
sit down.
"What? You still have to work overtime?" Gu Chen asked.
The old man smiled and said: "The night shift pay is high. Besides, I can't do without me on the construction site over there. Without me, their young people can't do anything."
"Haha." Seeing that the old man was confident in his words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "Then you are really awesome."
"I'm old. I won't be able to work in another year or two." The old man waved his hand, picked up the paper towel on the table and wiped the table, and then wiped his oily hands.
Gu Chen left his seat, took a pot of soup and placed it in front of the old man, saying, "I'll treat you to this."
"This...isn't this not good?" The old man was a little surprised. He never thought that Gu Chen would treat him to a pot of soup.
"Take it and drink it quickly. Don't let it get cold." Gu Chen pushed the earthen pot of soup in front of him and sat back down on his seat.
The old man also said "Hey" and said thank you, and then he started to drink the soup from the earthen pot, and he couldn't help but make a "tsk tsk" sound of satisfaction in his mouth.
Gu Chen also looked down at his watch and said, "It's getting late, we should get off work."
"Okay, let's call it a day." Officer Wang also checked the time.
Lu Weiwei stood up directly and took out her mobile phone to pay.
Since the meal funds of the three groups are temporarily kept by Lu Weiwei, Lu Weiwei looks like an accountant.
Compared with Gu Chen and Officer Wang, they are more like a two-way duo.
After all, the noodle shop owner only sees Lu Weiwei paying every time, so it is inevitable that he will have such thoughts.
"Old man, please eat slowly, we're leaving first." Gu Chen also said hello to him.
The old man smiled and nodded...
It was only after seeing Gu Chen and others leaving that he breathed a sigh of relief.
