After a cigarette, he replied to my QQ message, told me his uncle's mobile phone number, and said that I could just call directly.

He also asked me what my name was? I said my name was Lin Dong, and he told me that his name was Yu Kun.

I can't wait for tomorrow, so I'll call him.

The other party quickly connected the phone, and I said in a polite tone: "Hello, I am Yu Kun's friend......"

The other party replied with a smile: "I know, Yu Kun told you, right?"

"Well, I can do the renovation, no problem. ”

"In this case, let's make an appointment and meet tomorrow to talk in detail, do you think it's okay?"

I immediately agreed: "Okay, then tomorrow morning, you say the place." ”

"Then come to our engineering team, the address is ......"

After he told me the address, he told me to call him when he arrived, and he came downstairs to pick me up.

After the call, I was quite happy, I used to disdain to join an engineering team to do decoration, I am also an excellent designer from a prestigious university, once only the top four decoration companies in Kyoto.

But now, I know it's different, and I don't have to look at it the way it used to be.

I slept well, and I didn't get up until 9 a.m. the next morning, I was so tired that I didn't get a good rest for the two days I was released from prison.

After washing, I went to check out of the room, and then took the car to the location of the engineering team.

It's a suburban community, and when I got to the place, I called him, and he told me to wait a while and then go downstairs.

After waiting for less than two minutes, a person about my age appeared in front of me, and he asked suspiciously, "You are Lin Dong, right?"

"Are you?" I asked, just as confused.

He smiled and said, "I am Yu Kun's uncle, and my name is Yu Xiaoqiang." ”

I was stunned for a moment, first, I thought how could he be an uncle at such a young age? Second, I felt that his name was quite familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere, but I had forgotten it.

Seeing that I was stunned, he laughed again and said, "You probably don't think it's like it, do you?"

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "No, no, I thought you were thirty or forty, but it turned out to be as big as me." ”

He replied with a sincere smile: "I am the youngest in the family, and my sister is Yu Kun's mother, who is more than ten years older than me." ”

"I see, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, let's go upstairs and talk!"

The fifth floor upstairs is the temporary office of their engineering team, and the office of the engineering team is naturally not as good as the company's inside, this is a temporary office place, which is very messy, and all kinds of tools are placed everywhere.

He took me into his office, which was more of his bedroom than an office, with a simple bed piled high with quilts and all kinds of clothes.

Next to the bed was a desk full of materials and drawings except for a computer, which was still very disorganized.

He cleaned up briefly and brought me a glass of water, sat down and chatted with me, he asked me: "I heard Yu Kun say that you used to do design, and you are still highly educated, and you have also worked more in Jiashi, will it be too condescending to do this with us now?"

I knew that if I said decisively, no one would believe me, and I didn't plan to hide it from him, so I said bluntly: "That's the case, I had an accident in 08 and was in prison for three years, and now I'm only out of prison, and many places don't want me." ”

After I finished speaking, it was obvious that his face had changed, and I was apprehensive, and I was really afraid of being looked at differently now.

"Have you been in jail?" he asked in surprise after a while.

I nodded, and he asked curiously, "Is it convenient to tell me what's going on? I think you're pretty upright, why are you in jail?"

I didn't want to mention those things before, so I got up and said, "Master Yu, I don't want to mention the previous things anymore, I'm bothered!"

After speaking, I turned around and was about to leave, and as soon as I took two steps, he stopped me: "Lin Dong, don't get me wrong, I don't look down on you, I won't ask about your imprisonment, let's talk about business, okay?"

I was a little surprised, he didn't care that I was in prison, yesterday I was hit by a day, today someone finally doesn't care that I was in prison, at that moment I was really very excited.

People are like that, when you are denied by everyone, you will have a kind of doubt about yourself, doubt whether you should not exist in this world.

But once someone accepts you, even if it's just one person, you will be happy.

I think there are more people who suffer from depression than that.

I walked back and smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry!"

After he said it was okay, I sat back down and took a sip of water.

He handed me another cigarette, the fifteenth Yellow Crane Tower, and asked, "Do you smoke?"

I took the cigarette and said "thank you", lit the cigarette and we continued to chat, he said to me again: "You used to do design, you should know the work of our engineering team very well, you don't need to say anything about tiredness, you don't need me to say dirty, can you do it?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "I've been in prison for three years, can't I endure this hardship?"

He also smiled and said: "Then I'll tell you straight to the point, I know that you are a designer and must know more about decoration than we do, but in actual operation you may still be a novice, I will take you for a while, I will give you 100 yuan a day during this time, and when you learn to complete it independently, I will give you 150 a day, what do you think?"

I really don't have any idea about salary, and 100 days is relatively high.

I didn't think much of it, and immediately replied, "No problem, but I'll have to bother you in the early stage." ”

"That's fine," he waved his hand and said, "You just came out, I guess you haven't handled your ID card yet, right?"

"Well, it's still being processed, and it's estimated that it's going to be soon. I nodded back.

He smiled and said, "Okay, after your ID card comes down, I'll make a registration for you, and now you can run around the construction site with me first!

"No problem. I said cheerfully.

He took me to the storehouse of their engineering team, and said that this is where they usually stack their engineering equipment, and there is an attic here, and above it is where the workers rest.

He took me to the attic to have a look, and I learned what a workshop is, which is full of Chase bunks, that is, independent bed boards connected together, and bed sheets on top can be used to sleep.

Needless to say, how good can the place where the workers live?

There was a smell of stinky socks and all kinds of smells, and it didn't look like a place where people lived.

But it's better than in prison, so what do I have to complain about?

Yu Xiaoqiang asked me if I live here or at home?

When I replied that I would live here, he helped me find planks to be put together with other workers, and then helped me buy sheets and bedding, all of which he paid for.

I am especially grateful to him because he was the one who reached out to me in my most difficult times and I will remember him for the rest of my life.
