It could be heard from the tone of Wu Jingsheng's speech that he really wanted Lu Yao to stay and do things with him, which was his original intention of asking Lu Yao to come out.

Everyone was silent, and after walking together for a long time, Lu Yao took the lead and said, "Ning Hao, you stay." Starting tomorrow, you and your cousin will work on the construction site, and I will go out to look for work. ”

"How can we do that? Didn't we say that we should advance and retreat together under any circumstances? Ning Hao said.

"Lu Yao, Ning Hao, you just arrived here, and you don't know the situation here. Let me tell you, don't look at the large construction site of the airport, there are many construction teams, but it is very difficult to find a job on this construction site without the introduction of acquaintances and friends! In addition, Yunhai City often checks temporary residence permits. Once anyone is found to have a job without a temporary residence permit, the boss will pay for the bail out; if there is no job and there is no human security for the three no-personnel who have no job, they will be sent back to their hometown. Don't lose your train and long-distance bus tickets, it is said that within a week, you will not be caught. I have also heard from others that even if those who are sent back to their hometowns, they will suffer a lot. Some people are arrested and only return home for two or three years. You have to think about it, don't be rash! It's not easy for us to come here from thousands of miles away, and we must cherish our work!" Wu Jingsheng said earnestly.

"Ning Hao, you know how we came here and how much suffering we suffered. The job arranged by my cousin is very important to you and me, and you must cherish it. The two of us grew up and basically got together every day, and I know you as well as you know me. You have to save face, you don't speak Mandarin very well, and it's more difficult for you to go out and find a job than me. You stay and work with your cousin. Lu Yao said.

"I just don't want to be separated from you! You are gone, let me stay alone to work, I don't know the bottom of my heart!" Ning Hao said with a bitter face.

"Isn't there a cousin, with him helping you, what are you worried about?" Lu Yao asked.

"But I ······"

"Don't mother-in-law, make us look like a pair of little lovers. How difficult is it for us to come out this time and get to my cousin safely? We must cherish every job opportunity, solve the problem of food and shelter first, and then strive to gain a firm foothold here. You and I both grew up in a poor environment, we have all suffered all kinds of hardships, tomorrow you go to work with your cousin, you must behave well. If you don't understand, ask more, take the initiative to do any work, don't let the boss and other workers look down on you, and don't embarrass your cousin.

Tomorrow I'll go out and look for a job, and I'll try to find it on a nearby construction site. If my cousin needs a job here again one day, I can come over at any time, and we can be together again. I would like to remind you that your fiery temper must be restrained a little, and when you go out, you can make money in a friendly way. Don't encounter any trivial things, just kick your nose in the face, take a step back and open the sky. We must be low-key, work diligently, and respect every worker. We must obey the arrangements of the boss, foreman, and foreman, and unite with every worker. Lu Yao earnestly instructed.

"I understand all these truths, and I also know that you and my cousin are genuinely good to me. Over the years, the two of us have basically never been apart except for sleeping. This sudden separation, still in a foreign land where I was unfamiliar with my life, I felt like I had lost my backbone, and my heart was empty. Ning Hao said.

"Don't think so much, after work, whatever work the boss arranges, you just have to work hard. When I encountered a job that I couldn't do, I asked my cousin and other co-workers for advice, and lowered my posture a little. One day you get mixed up like your cousin, do a big job, and you will get out of it. Do you know what my cousin's current salary is? plus all kinds of subsidies, it's almost 600, and after all the expenses, you can save at least 500. Ning Hao, it's unrealistic to say that it's far away. Right now, my cousin is our goal, let's work together!" Lu Yao said.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go back and rest, we have to go to work tomorrow." Now that Lu Yao has decided, I don't have anything to say. I hope Ning Hao doesn't have any worries and pressure, as long as you work hard and let the boss look at it, I will talk to the boss in two days, maybe he will accept Lu Yao. Wu Jingsheng said.

"Don't worry, cousin, we have done all kinds of work in our hometown, and we have endured all kinds of hardships. I have the strength, and I won't be lazy. When I get to the construction site tomorrow, I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely not let you down!" Ning Hao said.

They returned to the sheds, many of which were already lights out. They walked lightly back to Wu Jingsheng's shed, and saw that the other workers in the bed were asleep. After Wu Jingsheng washed up briefly, he also went to bed.

It's hot and humid, so spread out a mattress on the wooden plank and you can sleep. On the way back just now, Wu Jingsheng bought two new mattresses for Lu Yao and Ning Hao in the commissary.

Lu Yao and Ning Hao slept on two adjacent iron frame beds, and the two beds were connected from end to end. After Lu Yao laid out a mattress, he walked lightly to another mattress to make a mat.

Ning Hao opened the rucksack and took his and Lu Yao's toothpaste and toothbrush from it. When he took out Lu Yao's toothpaste toothbrush, he couldn't find his toothpaste toothbrush.

He scratched his head and thought for a while before remembering that after brushing his teeth for the last time on the train, when he returned to the sleeper to put the toothpaste and toothbrush, Lu Yao had already packed his things, and he directly opened the small bag on the outermost part of the rucksack and put the toothpaste and toothbrush in the small bag.

Ning Hao turned the rucksack over and opened the small bag outside. He pulled out the toothpaste and toothbrush from it, and at the same time brought out a small roll of paper, which fell on the instep of his foot and bounced off the ground.

He bent down to pick it up, and with the help of the street lamp in the aisle outside the shed, he saw that it was a roll of banknotes, and it was a hundred-dollar bill.

Ning Hao was shocked, and quickly unfolded the banknote and twisted it, which turned out to be two hundred yuan.

"Lu Yao, why do you have so much money in your bag? Ning Hao walked to the side of the bed where Lu Yao was laying a mat and asked in a low voice.

After Lu Yao saw it, he jumped on the railing of the iron frame bed with his right hand, landed lightly on the concrete floor, and then pulled Ning Hao to the aisle outside the shed.

"Lu Yao, are all these money donated by those passengers in the sleeper car? No, the money they donate is a few dollars and a few cents of change, and even ten yuan is very little. Could it be the whole bill you exchanged with the conductor?" Ning Hao asked.
