The morning light filled the house through the glass.
The clock on the wall is still ticking mechanically.
Zhang Haidong lay on the bed and stared at the clock for a while. He really didn't want to get up.
The pain and fatigue on the second day were worse than the first day.
Even though he put on gloves, the wound on his hand was still bruised and even the powder couldn't stop the yellow juice from flowing out.
The entire body's frame seemed to be falling apart, there was no comfortable joint anywhere, and the pain was excruciating.
For a moment, he even had this thought in his mind: "Otherwise, I won't go today. Anyway, if you have a wound, you can go back to the company to do business. Wu Yao should understand."
But when he turned his head and saw Du Jing beside him, who was breathing evenly and with big bags under her eyes, this idea was killed in an instant.
How many years has she been supporting this family, and she has only been here for two days, and she can't bear it after two days?
What's more, there are so many stumbling figures on the construction site, some are eighteen or nineteen years old, and some are in their fifties. Which one is not poorer than himself, and which one is not harder than himself?
People are still carrying heavy loads in the cold wind!
If he really left, wouldn't it be true to what the fat man said: Those who sit in the office are raised by their grandchildren, and they can come up with a compensation policy with just two words.
keep on!
I got out of bed gently and got dressed.
After a few splashes of cold water, he prepared breakfast for his daughter as quickly as possible.
I will arrive at the construction site at eight o'clock, which is more than an hour earlier than when I went to the company before.
In other words, I got up at least an hour and a half earlier than before before I could see my daughter off and rush to the construction site.
"Baby, be good. Dad will take you to wash up. We have to leave a little early." Zhang Haidong pulled his daughter to go to the bathroom.
"Dad, I've finished washing." Qianqian pouted, shook her head and opened Zhang Haidong's hand.
"Wash yourself?"
Zhang Haidong looked at his daughter's clean little face, and then at the small stool next to the sink.
The small cups, toothbrushes, and towels have obviously been used...
He froze on the spot.
…
The numb work is like the clock on the wall that never stops, persisting mechanically, as if it will never get tired.
No matter how much you resist, nothing will change.
When looking at his cell phone at noon, Zhang Haidong saw a missed call from Wu Yao.
He called back.
"Zhang Haidong, you have gone abroad! Good guy, I asked you to talk to the foreman. I haven't heard from you in the past two days. I thought you were missing and was about to call the police!" As soon as he got through, Wu Yao came to blame.
the sound of.
Zhang Haidong picked up the rice bowl and took a sip of the soup, and then said: "If you don't take this order, can I go back? How about you replace me with someone else."
"Hahaha, can't stand it anymore? How have the talks been these two days? At least report the situation to your leader so that I can get to the bottom of it." Wu Yao said with a smile.
"I have been carrying steel and concrete for two days. When the foreman is satisfied, he will sign it." Zhang Haidong said angrily.
"Hahaha, you are really going to carry steel and concrete! I told you that I was right to choose you. Don't worry, Fatty Hu will take the soft and not the hard. If you work hard for a few days, he will definitely be able to sign. I don't have to suffer this.
I will let you eat for free, and when you come back, I will give you a celebration banquet..."
Before she could finish talking, Zhang Haidong hung up the phone decisively.
It’s really a lot of bullshit, and it’s like a will-o’-the-wisp.
After resting for a few minutes, as the construction site bell rang, Zhang Haidong dragged his tired body to work.
…
Time flies by very quickly, and it is already late November in the blink of an eye. The icy cold air blows straight into the bones, making the work on the construction site even more difficult.
The biting cold wind made Zhang Haidong shiver countless times every day.
He has been working on the construction site for more than twenty days.
Fatty Hu had no intention of letting go. He just added an extra egg to Zhang Haidong in every meal.
After only making one phone call for enquiry, Wu Yao never received a call again. Maybe it was because she felt more at ease with Zhang Haidong.
Du Jing looked at Zhang Haidong's hands with yellow juice flowing out and covered with frostbite every day at home, and wanted to ask him countless times.
Have you lost your job or changed your job?
Is it very hard?
Otherwise, let's stop doing this and just find another easier job...
But every time she saw Zhang Haidong's stubborn eyes, she remained silent.
All those questions were swallowed back.
And Zhang Haidong, who was extremely painful from the beginning, gradually adapted to the mechanical work at the construction site.
Even though my hands were covered with frostbite, it was not as painful as before.
After persisting for another day, Zhang Haidong lay leisurely on the sofa after returning home from get off work in the evening.
There are only three days left before wages can be paid.
That is a big deal for Jinxiu Group. I wonder how much money I will be able to pay myself by then?
Ten thousand, at least ten thousand...
Because it’s really a bit cold at home.
Although the gaps in the windows were covered with newspapers, they still couldn't stop the cold coming through the glass. You know, this is the north, and it's several degrees below zero outside!
Those tall and tall buildings are all heated!
The frostbite on my hands is a minor matter, as I am an adult after all. But if my daughter gets cold again, her little hands will be itchy all winter long!
After getting paid, buy an electric heater first!
Zhang Haidong thought happily.
Next to her, Du Jing was sitting on a small bed holding her daughter, telling her some unknown story. Her daughter giggled.
The ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Zhang Haidong's thoughts.
He answered the phone, and a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came over: "Zhang Haidong, I'm at the Jinmen restaurant not far from your home. Come down here, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Who are you……"
"You have even forgotten me? How noble a person forgets things...I am Bai Yourong."
…
Zhang Haidong quickly got out of bed and got dressed as quickly as possible.
Last time, Liu Shan said that Bai Yourong went back to her parents' home with the child in her arms. He had no money at that time and tried to persuade him on the phone, but he didn't listen.
I originally thought that after I had paid my salary, I would treat him to a meal and a drink, and have a serious talk about marriage.
This is their first love!
We have been in a relationship for more than ten years, and we have a baby. Even if we quarrel, it won’t be such that we still can’t reconcile!
But Bai Yourong came directly to him!
That means there is really no reconciliation!
I am still too optimistic.
Could it be that Liu Shan is really thinking about divorce?
Why!
Zhang Haidong slapped his forehead heavily. At that time, I should have talked to him first when borrowing money!
Looking at Zhang Haidong in a hurry, Du Jing asked doubtfully: "What's going on?"
"Liu Shan is getting divorced. Bai Yourong is holding the child downstairs. If you have any money left at home, give it to me first. I will pay you in three days." Zhang Haidong said while arranging his clothes.
"There are still more than 400 yuan, you can take it all." Du Jing got out of bed and handed the last 400 yuan or so to Zhang Haidong's hand.
"Please give me some advice, we've been in love for so many years!"
"Okay. You go to sleep first, I'll be back in a minute!"
