Following the middle-aged man's gaze, Gu Chen realized that in a gentle area on the mountainside, there was actually a shipping container.

To be precise, this is an assembled mobile board house with doors and windows.

There are some wooden boxes at the door, which should be the material supply of the surveying and mapping company.

Looking at the pants fluttering in the wind between the mobile board house and the big trees, Gu Chen knew that these people had been surveying this area for a long time.

Zhao Kai seemed to notice Gu Chen's curiosity, and said with a light smile: "In the six months since I graduated, I have been living in this mobile board house. ”

"You live here?" Gu Chen looked at Zhao Kai curiously, and said lightly, "That place looks very small. ”

"The sparrow is small, but it has all the organs. Zhao Kai said with a smile while packing up his surveying and mapping equipment: "People who have been engaged in field surveys may feel that it is nothing. ”

"After all, the daytime work is very simple, such as climbing, lofting, setting up instruments, and measuring, these are all daily routines. ”

Closing the zipper of the instrument in the bag, Zhao Kai lifted the duffel bag: "By the way, when I finish running the red circle on the planning map, I can pack my things and go to the next place." ”

"What do you mean...... Resign?" asked Gu Chen.

"Yes. Zhao Kai nodded silently: "Those who can stay here are masters, in comparison, the hardest thing is actually the night, especially ...... When there is only 2G signal in the phone. ”

"Good luck then. "Gu Chen doesn't know this Zhao Kai, why do you want to tell yourself so much?

In other words, it seems that he is relatively easy to get close to, so Zhao Kai complained to himself.

is more at the mercy of others, with a low salary, and enjoys endless loneliness, which may be the inner entanglement of Zhao Kai, who has not been long after graduation.

But people are often so contradictory, they can excrete physiologically, but they dare not vent psychologically.

"Gu Chen. After a short rest on the mountainside, Bai Xiaolan took out a bottle of water from the bamboo basket of the mule and handed it to him.

"Thank you. Gu Chen took the water and asked Bai Xiaolan, "Do you know how long you have been surveying the terrain here?"

"I don't know. Bai Xiaolan drank the mineral water in her hand and shook her head: "The exploration team here has been exploring for a long time. ”

"According to some information I got before, I heard that there may be mines in this area, but it is not clear what they are. ”

Looking at the back of Zhao Kai's return to the mobile board house, Bai Xiaolan said again: "But whether there is a mine here, it has nothing to do with the relocation of these villagers, even the 2G signal is very weak here, and it is not cost-effective to lay the signal tower here." ”

"So...... The villagers here are tantamount to being out of touch with the times?" asked Gu Chen.

Bai Xiaolan nodded silently: "It's almost, it's all some old people, it's very difficult for the working group to do work with them, so you still have to go over to the police." ”

"No problem. Gu Chen looked up at the mountain and asked with a smile, "It shouldn't be far, right?"

"I heard that it would take half an hour to walk. Bai Xiaolan said.

Wu Jun on the side calculated the time, and suddenly got up and said to everyone: "Then hurry up, go up early and go down the mountain early, I see that the weather is not very good today, and it may rain later." ”

"Yes. Officer Wang on the side got up from the lawn and urged Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, "Hurry up." ”

Everyone led the mules and continued to drive up the mountain.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, I came to the village to do ideological work with the left-behind villagers.

Coupled with the support of the TV station's charitable fund, most of the villagers expressed their willingness to accept the relocation.

Everyone immediately distributed the red envelopes to the villagers.

All the filming was not as difficult as expected, and the villagers still trusted the police.

Several warm-hearted villagers even wanted to keep everyone at home after lunch before leaving.

However, they were all rejected by Gu Chen's team and Bai Xiaolan.

Everyone wants to go down the mountain early......

And the sky in this area is unpredictable.

It was still sunny before, but suddenly, when everyone was about to lead the mules down the mountain, the whole sky seemed to change its face, and suddenly it was gloomy and terrible.

"Pick up the pace. Officer Wang, who was at the forefront, kept urging everyone.

However, after all, it was on foot, and Bai Xiaolan's physical strength was the weakest in the entire team, and climbing back and forth down the mountain had already made Bai Xiaolan's physical strength overdrawn, and she was extremely slow to walk.

In order to ensure that everyone would not be left behind, Gu Chen kept walking at the end, and together with Lu Weiwei, he supported Bai Xiaolan all the way.

"If it doesn't go on like this, it looks like it's going to rain soon. After careful evaluation, photographer Wu Jun said: "Why don't you go to the exploration team on the mountainside to rest and hide from the rain, otherwise the equipment will be damaged." ”

"There's no other choice. Officer Wang looked at Bai Xiaolan behind him and said with disappointment: "With Bai Xiaolan's physique, it is estimated that she will have to ride a mule down the mountain later." ”

As soon as the words fell, a thunderbolt swept through the sky.

Everyone looked at the sky in unison.

"Xiaolan, hurry up. Gu Chen turned around and urged.

"No, no, no. Bai Xiaolan waved her hand, and said exhaustedly: "I just crooked my foot when I went down the mountain, and now my ankle has been hurting, I can't walk fast, or you go first." ”

"How can we leave you alone in the mountains?" Lu Weiwei also didn't have a good temperament, so she walked directly to Bai Xiaolan, turned her back to Bai Xiaolan and said, "Come up, I'll carry you." ”

"I'll do it anyway. Gu Chen also made the same move.

Bai Xiaolan rubbed her eyes, ruthless her legs.

Although I thought that this mountain road was relatively rough, I didn't expect that I would fall on my feet.

I didn't dare to say it just now, but now that it is about to rain, I have become a drag oil bottle again, and Bai Xiaolan is also aggrieved for a while.

But Gu Chen was willing to carry someone, and Bai Xiaolan couldn't refuse, so she could only be grateful: "Then thank you, Gu Chen." ”

Everyone continued to walk forward, and at this moment it was already raining sporadically.

Gu Chen drank two cans of functional drinks before carrying people, and at this moment he felt that his steps were like the wind, and Bai Xiaolan, who was less than 50 kilograms, was also walking like flying, surpassing Officer Wang and Wu Jun in three or two clicks.

"My God, this Gu Chen's physical strength is really good. "Wu Jun has never seen this kind of operation, can he still run with his back on his back?

Officer Wang was not surprised, and said with a light smile: "It's nothing, I went to the mountains with him to look for the little girl who got lost, and he was like this, walking like flying." ”

"I can't catch up with him after chasing him for several kilometers, you know how good this guy is, anyway, in terms of physical strength, he Gu Chen has never lost anyone. ”

"Then let's not stay, let's hurry. Wu Jun led the stupid mule and pulled it forward vigorously.

Gu Chen was the first to rush to the mountainside......

At this moment, the light rain has fallen sporadically, and a red flag is erected outside the door of the mobile board house.

Gu Chen saw Zhao Kai standing at the door from a distance......

"Come in and hide from the rain, the noodles are being cooked inside, do you want to be together?" Zhao Kai asked.

"Thanks, lunch has already been eaten. Gu Chen put down Bai Xiaolan and glanced inside the room.

In addition to the middle-aged man I saw outside just now, there was also a man of the same age as Zhao Kai.

The two were sitting around with a few beers on the table.

Seeing someone coming outside, the middle-aged man got up directly, beckoned, and said, "Comrade policeman, come in and sit." ”

"Thank you. Gu Chen let Bai Xiaolan and Lu Weiwei enter the house, and he took an umbrella to pick up photographer Wu Jun.

Help Wu Jun safely transport the equipment back to the mobile board house.

Everyone complained about the weather and complained about all kinds of complaints.

And Gu Chen also saw a few packed luggage in the house, and then turned around and asked Zhao Kai at the door: "Who is leaving?"

"The two of them. Zhao Kai, who was leaning against the door, couldn't help but glance at the two people in the house, and said with regret: "It doesn't matter, it's just that one person stays here, and he doesn't even have a high temperature subsidy, I really don't know what else to say." ”

Zhao Kai seems to have to make himself look like he doesn't care about everything in order to prove that he has enough things to earn a decent job in the eyes of others.

Well, the other two men at this moment, also carried their hearts, put on their raincoats, and walked to the door to say goodbye to everyone.

The middle-aged man patted Zhao Kai on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhao, then I'll trouble you these days." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, stay and stay for a few days, how good the air is here." Zhao Kai said with a smile and complained.

"Nope. The middle-aged man waved his hand, then pointed to a corner of the room and said, "These are enough for you to eat for a while, and there are still a few bottles of wine in the box at the back, all for you, come on." ”

Patting Zhao Kai's shoulder, the middle-aged man followed behind the young man, carrying his own luggage and wearing a raincoat and disappeared into the hazy rain.

"Yes. Wu Jun looked around for a week, and said with a smile: "Now that your companion has left, this has become our territory, and you have a new partner, brother." ”

"Alas!" Zhao Kai knew that Wu Jun was joking, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "When will this day be a head." ”

Returning to the mobile board room, Zhao Kai sat on his bed, looked at Gu Chen and teased:

"In the evaluation form of the first quarter after joining the company, in order not to affect my future promotion, I still chose a 'no' in the column of 'whether I need to be transferred'. ”

"After all, what I'm more afraid of than the anxiety and dissatisfaction in my heart is the evaluation and vision of others, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Sort of. Gu Chen also told the truth, and said, "Since you don't like to stay, then mention it, how can others know if you don't mention it?"

"Forget it, this time it's also self-inflicted, it's still the same if you change the unit, and I'm still the same. ”

After all, Gu Chen is an outsider, so Zhao Kai has many things that he will not tell his colleagues in the unit.

Now that I see Gu Chen, I can't wait to reveal all the loneliness and depression I have had these days.

"In fact, in the front-line construction units, it is normal to stay all year round, and it is also a common rule for newcomers to stay during the Spring Festival. ”

"You haven't rested from work?" Gu Chen asked.

Zhao Kai smiled faintly: "Almost, it wasn't until two months ago that I took leave because of acute gastroenteritis." ”

"The leader was also very cheerful and asked me to pay more attention to my body. ”

"But that time, instead of going to the hospital or going home, I bought a ticket overnight and called my girlfriend. ”

"Girlfriend?" Lu Weiwei looked at Zhao Kai in front of her, and said with interest: "It stands to reason that a person like you who has no vacation at work, your girlfriend should have run away early, and she is still in a different place, right?"

Lu Weiwei knows what a long-distance relationship means to Zhao Kai.

Especially for a newcomer like him, who has been exploring outdoors for a long time, it is even more weird.

The most important thing is that people have girlfriends.

Zhao Kai was also quite helpless and said: "My girlfriend was talked about when I was in college, in fact, it was okay, I called her that day after I bought the ticket, I told her, let's go to the beach to live for a few days, I want to go to her city to live for a few days." ”

"And what's your girlfriend's reaction?" asked Wu Jun, a photographer with a drink, feeling that it was a cool thing to explore human privacy.

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "She asked me, didn't I always say that I couldn't take leave?"

But I didn't say much, told her not to mention it, just pack her bags, and I told her that I had already bought the ticket. ”

"But why do you have to go to the beach?" Yuan Shasha in the house, seeing that everyone was sitting around the door, also hurriedly came over and asked.

"As for why you have to go to the beach?" Zhao Kai lowered his head and smiled: "I explained to my girlfriend at the time that you normal people don't understand." ”

"After all, a long-suppressed soul like mine can only be saved by the vast sea. ”

"But in the end, it wasn't the sea that soothed me, it was the first tavern I entered after getting off the train. ”

Glancing at everyone, Zhao Kai said again: "That's right, I went to drink with my girlfriend, and when the second glass of cold beer was down, the singer who sang in the house adjusted the chords." ”

"I don't know exactly what he's singing, but when a person is caught by a certain emotion, whatever he listens to, it's like his own theme song. ”

Zhao Kai seemed to compare the mobile board room to a tavern, and also boasted: "Looking at the group of tourists under the light, paying attention to the relaxed expressions on their faces, I suddenly had the illusion that I had been released from prison after completing my sentence. ”

"I'm not going back, that's what I said to my girlfriend at the time. ”

"But aren't you back again?" Gu Chen said.

Zhao Kai smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, but I really didn't want to go back at that time." ”

Later, my girlfriend and I left the tavern and went to the beach together. ”

"I repeated the phrase again when I finally stood on the beach, with the salty sea breeze blowing on my face. ”

"However, I know that the resignation process will not be smooth, because in addition to the mandatory 'liquidated damages', another surprise is the reaction from the leadership. ”

"I know he will say, if you are not happy, you can say it in the evaluation form, as long as you strongly ask for it, the company will still arrange for you to transfer and so on. ”

"Actually, there are some things that I should have said a long time ago, but I don't dare, I coax. ”

"But not in that evaluation form, but in this resignation that has not been written for a long time. ”

Glancing at Gu Chen, Zhao Kai smiled self-deprecatingly: "Because people are always stupid sometimes, stupid in unsuitable positions, to pursue decency, and leave a good impression." ”

"Maybe only when you leave will you find out that the so-called decency is just a miss of decency, and the good impression left is most likely unimpressive. ”

Gu Chen nodded silently: "What you said is right, any opportunity will only be reserved for those who want it very much." ”

"Hmm. Zhao Kai nodded and said: "In the days when I first came to Jiangnan City, I often reminded myself of this sentence. ”

"So after that leave, I spent two days at the beach, and I said that my condition was not better, so I took a few more days off. ”

"But I haven't been idle these days, I've started looking for a job, I'm going to an interview, I want to stay in my girlfriend's city. ”

"And every time I go to my favorite company for an interview, I will write down the anger of being slighted and the ugliness of rejection in the memo on my phone, which is too difficult. ”

"You should be studying civil engineering, right? It should be very difficult to find a job in the coastal area. Gu Chen also directly gave his opinion.

Lu Weiwei also said: "The coastal areas are mainly developed in the service industry, if you want to stay in the city, you must find a service industry for this job, otherwise it will be empty talk with your girlfriend." ”

"Uh, you're saying too absolutely, aren't you?" Officer Wang glanced at Zhao Kai and asked him, "Then what kind of job are you looking for?"

Zhao Kai shook his head with a smile: "I thought so at the time, but as soon as I went to the talent market for an interview, I was told by the other party that my work has no reference value at all, because they are an official account company, and many authors have been trained since college." ”

After laughing dryly, Zhao Kai laughed at himself: "I have to say that these negative energies are really shocking, but this sense of shame can just keep people awake." ”

"After all, whether it is researching an inappropriate major, or filling in the gaps of past works with current writing, it is a matter that requires unwillingness to support it. ”

"But I also learned that one of the interviewers told me that although we wouldn't necessarily be colleagues, she believed that I had the character to live well no matter where I was. ”

"So what?" asked Gu Chen.

"So?" Zhao Kai smiled lightly: "So live well, it's really tiring, because you not only have to do the things in front of you, but also have to advance the future bottleneck in advance, but in this era of selling anxiety, people rarely have the opportunity to be surrounded by love and slowly become stronger." ”

"Therefore, it will be more realistic to find a way to use negative energy, and the standard for measuring 'utilization' and 'being utilized' is not the emotion of the moment, but the effort afterward. ”

"So, the next time I feel sad, ashamed, angry, I don't let that energy flow away with my tears. ”

"After all, the meaning of energy is not to be positive or negative, but to keep you going. ”

"I stumbled, thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of last year's annual meeting, looking at the data and bonuses that appeared on the screen, I couldn't escape the law of real fragrance. ”

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and asked him, "But before I went up the mountain, didn't you tell me that you want to leave?"

"That's right. Zhao Kai said undeniably: "I said, I want to leave, but just to leave here, I have already contacted a corresponding company, and it is in the city of my girlfriend." ”

"So as a condition of leaving, I had to stand my last shift here and continue to be with the 2G signal. ”

Glancing at Gu Chen, Zhao Kai smiled lightly and said, "But if I can meet you here, I can finally find someone who can speak, otherwise it will be really boring to be with birds and beasts every day." ”

"Well, I always thought that I couldn't find a girlfriend if I was doing surveying. Wu Jun said with deep feelings.

However, Bai Xiaolan retorted back: "No, it's not like working on a construction site, although it's hard, but the salary is quite high if you work hard." ”

"It's just a wild stakeout, crossing mountains and rivers, every day, all year round, I can't accept this, the main thing is that it's too boring, I can do it, but I'm not reconciled, right, Gu Chen?"

Bai Xiaolan said for a long time and turned her head to look at Gu Chen.

"Sort of. Gu Chen hadn't experienced this, and of course it was not easy to make an evaluation, so he could only say perfunctorily:

"If you have to show all your strength to others to maintain your own decency, then in front of the people you love, you can expose your vulnerability, life may be difficult, but the person who loves you will definitely treat your vulnerability well. ”

Glancing at Zhao Kai, Gu Chen encouraged: "I support you." ”

"Thank you. Zhao Kai nodded slightly.

At this moment, the dark clouds dissipated, and sunlight appeared again in the whole sky.

And on a large tree near the mobile board house, small birds sheltering from the rain also began to appear in the treetops.

"Do you know, comrade policeman, if I don't leave here, I'm afraid I'm going to have a relationship with the birds here. ”

"So exaggerated?" Lu Weiwei also didn't know why.

"Of course. Zhao Kai said with a smile: "I'm not blowing with you, I saved a bird with beautiful feathers here before, and I especially don't want it to leave me, but it has wings and I don't have it." ”

"On the day of release, it flew around this mobile board house three times, and I was thinking at that time, I'm not an ordinary person, hehe, uh. ”

Looking at everyone's ignorant looks, Zhao Kai said again: "You...... You may not understand, but there was once a bird that flew three times for me. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Kai suddenly moistened the corners of his eyes, and choked up involuntarily: "I'm too difficult, I don't have the ability to do it, I'm just a college student who just graduated." ”

"I don't have anything, I don't have enough experience, it's too difficult to find a counterpart company in the coast, and I feel that if this continues, my girlfriend and I will break up sooner or later." ”

"Zhao Kai. Gu Chen also patted him on the shoulder, and hurriedly comforted him and said, "It's okay, aren't you leaving soon?" Hold on for a few more days, and then go to your girlfriend's city, wouldn't it be okay for the two of you to work together?"

"Hmm. Zhao Kai also nodded vigorously, then turned around and entered the house, took out the few bottles of beer left in the carton, and opened them directly with a bottle opener.

After that, Zhao Kai took a few cups and poured the beer into them.

Looking at Gu Chen at the door, Zhao Kai raised his glass and said, "Comrade policeman, come and have a drink with me, stay here alone and panic." ”

"But I'm at work, so I can't drink. Gu Chen directly refused.

But Bai Xiaolan on the side said: "It's okay, Gu Chen, you just accompany him to drink a little, see him bored, after we leave, maybe he will have to count the stars every night to relieve his fatigue." ”

"That's right. Photographer Wu Jun also said: "This young man is strong enough, very similar to the helpless state when I just graduated, my ex-girlfriend is separated from me like this, Gu Chen, you accompany him to drink, it's okay, let's not talk about it." ”

Gu Chen still shook his head and refused: "I can't drink, this is the principle, it's better for Teacher Wu to accompany him to drink, I'll drink." ”

"Uh...... That'll do the trick. Wu Jun saw that he couldn't move Gu Chen, so he could only give up.

Several people returned to the mobile board house......

At this moment, the room was messy, and after Zhao Kai's other two workers left, the whole room seemed to be ransacked.

Gu Chen suddenly saw a group photo at the head of Zhao Kai's bed.

......
