Her daughter's words made Chen Yao a little stunned, it turned out that her daughter had really grown up, and her every word and every move would affect her emotions.

"Well, Dad listens to you, and I'll never eat with any other woman besides Mom in the future. ”

After getting Chen Yao's affirmative answer, Yi Mo's little face finally showed a smile.

Chen Yao returned to the rental house with Yimo in his arms.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Yao's phone rang, and the caller ID prompted Wang Zhiwen.

Chen Yao then remembered what Wang Zhiwen said to himself when he got off work that he wanted to introduce himself to work.

"Oops. ”

Chen Yao hurriedly put Yimo on the bed and picked up the phone.

"Brother Wang, I'm sorry, I just picked up my daughter back, and I didn't have time to call you. ”

Chen Yao hurriedly apologized to Wang Zhiwen.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, you hurry up and come to the Anning building materials market, hurry up. ”

Wang Zhiwen's anxious words came from the phone.

"Buzz. ”

"Be careful when reversing, be careful when reversing. ”

"Hurry up and move, it's all a little sharper. ”

Chen Yao heard the roar of a large truck beside Wang Zhiwen, and many people were shouting.

Without waiting for Chen Yao to inquire about the detailed situation, Wang Zhiwen hurriedly hung up the phone.

Looking at his daughter Yimo sitting on the bed, Chen Yao hesitated, is it really okay to let her daughter stay at home alone?

"Dad, aren't you going to be busy?"

Suddenly, Yimo bit his lip and looked at Chen Yao.

Chen Yao hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Well, there was an uncle who introduced my dad to a job, but you stayed at home alone, and my dad didn't feel at ease, so I still didn't go. ”

"I can. ”

Suddenly, Yimo looked at Chen Yao seriously and stubbornly.

Yimo continued.

"Dad, go ahead, I know, Mom is hospitalized now, and the family has no money, so Dad must work very hard to make money, if Dad doesn't make money, Yimo can't go to school anymore, Mom can't continue to treat, and we will have no food and no house to live in. ”

"Dad, go ahead, Yimo will be able to do her homework and sleep well if she stays at home alone. ”

Chen Yao's eyes were a little stunned when he looked at his daughter, but he still had a trace of worry.

"Can you?"

Yimo nodded.

"Dad, Mom is hospitalized now, I'm still young, so the family can only rely on you, come on. ”

Yimo stood on the bed, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Chen Yao's face.

……

You can't be with your wife who is hospitalized, and you can't be with your young daughter, because that's the reality of poor life.

"Work hard, Chen Yao, you must work hard. ”

Chen Yao, who was running on the street, was sweating profusely.

Anning Building Materials City is also in the south of the city, about three kilometers away from Chen Yao, which is not too far.

The bus has stopped running so late, take a taxi? Chen Yao is reluctant to spend that unjust money.

Ten minutes later, Chen Yao, who was sweating profusely, came to Anning Building Materials City.

In the courtyard of the building materials city, the lights are bright, more than a dozen large semi-trailers are neatly parked in the yard, and many workers are unloading.

Chen Yao gasped and took out his mobile phone to dial Wang Zhiwen's phone number.

But although the phone was on, no one answered.

"What about people?"

Chen Yao was a little puzzled and frowned slightly.

"Chen Yao. ”

Suddenly, Chen Yao heard someone shouting his name, turned around to look, and saw Wang Zhiwen running towards him from a warehouse on the side.

"What are you?"

Wang Zhiwen's clothes can be said to be extremely dirty, his hair is full of gray powder, and his face is full of black mud, Chen Yao can't recognize Wang Zhiwen a little.

Wang Zhiwen smiled and showed his teeth, but even his teeth were stained with that gray powder.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the foreman. ”

"Foreman?" Chen Yao looked at Wang Zhiwen suspiciously, and then muttered in his heart.

Could it be that Wang Zhiwen is working as a coolie here? Is his thin body a coolie? And he has to go to work at the Dingsheng car dealership tomorrow, will he be unbearable?

While Chen Yao was thinking about it, Wang Zhiwen said without thinking.

"Yes, the job I introduced to you is to carry cement, the business of Anning Building Materials City is very good, there will be more than a dozen semi-trailers of cement to be unloaded every day, from eight o'clock in the evening to one or two o'clock in the morning, one hundred and eighty yuan, settled on the spot. ”

The two of them have basically the same misfortune, Wang Zhiwen has enough experience in this miserable life, painful struggle, he wants to help Chen Yao.

"One hundred and eight, or the end of the day?"

After hearing Wang Zhiwen's words, Chen Yao's face was full of surprise.

Fang Cai was still worried that he was too tired to bear the work, but now Chen Yao was full of joy.

I can earn one hundred and eight a night, which is five thousand four a month, plus the salary of the car dealership, that is nine thousand nine.

Chen Yao doesn't know when he will die, so now he earns every day, and in order to make his wife and daughter live more easily after his death, he must now keep making money.

The family's living expenses are only 500 yuan, of which 400 yuan is reserved for Shen Qiu, who is hospitalized, and he only has more than 90 yuan on himself.

I have already advanced a month's salary from the car dealership, which means that if I want to get money from the car dealership, I must wait until the fifteenth of the next month.

The 400 yuan given to Shen Qiu was for her to replenish her nutrition, so Chen Yao would never open his mouth to ask for it again, he and his daughter relied on the more than 90 yuan, even if they saved money, they couldn't resist it for a week, how could they wait for two months?

If you can earn a daily salary of 180 yuan every night, this is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for Chen Yao, who is now stretched thin and in a desperate situation.

"Okay, I'll do it. ”

Chen Yao nodded excitedly at Wang Zhiwen and said.

Wang Zhiwen took Chen Yao into the warehouse, a group of workers were carrying the whole bag of cement from the semi-trailer in the yard, and then stacked it in the warehouse, there was a chair at the door, and a black man in relatively clean clothes sat at the door, constantly urging the workers, looking at the age, it should be about forty years old.

"Brother Liu, this is a good friend of mine, I want to come to the building materials city as a coolie, do you think you can help?"

Wang Zhiwen smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes for the black man, which was only three yuan and five.

The other party took the cigarette and lit it.

"Boy, can you do it with this little body?"

Suddenly, Liu Fu hammered Chen Yao's chest, Chen Yao's body staggered back, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was pulled by Wang Zhiwen.

"Huh. ”

Liu Fo took the cigarette in his hand, grinned, looked at Wang Zhiwen and said.

"Xiao Wang, you've been working with me for months, do you think it's easy for you Brother Liu and me to contract this little work to make money? You find me this weak thin bamboo pole, you really don't treat my money as money?"

"Brother Liu, me. ”

Wang Zhiwen was speechless.

"Okay, Xiao Wang, go do your job, it's not that I don't give you face, you yourself have seen it, his small body is not qualified at all. ”

Liu Fu shook his head and left.

"Brother Liu, give me a chance, I can do it. ”

Suddenly, Chen Yao suddenly pounced and grabbed Liu Fu's arm.

"What? are you still trying to force me?"

Liu Fu looked at Chen Yao with some impatience.

"Brother, I beg you, I'm really desperate, my wife is still in the hospital, my daughter is going to elementary school next semester, and the family is almost unable to open the pot, please help me, I need this job very much." ”

Chen Yao felt like a stray dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy at this moment, although he looked down on himself like this, but for the sake of Shen Qiu and Yimo, he had to let go of his dignity and face.

"Wife and children? You have a wife and children to support, so my children and wife don't have to support them? It's not that I don't give you this job, it's that you can't do it at all. ”

Liu Fu shook off Chen Yao's hand.

"Brother Liu, otherwise, you let my friend try it, right?"

Wang Zhiwen said tentatively.

Liu Fu was really impatient.

"Wang Zhiwen, you figure it out, I'm the foreman, do you like to do it or not, don't do it, go carry the cement for me now, if you continue to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I'll let you go now?"

Liu Fu shook his hand and turned his head away.

Looking at Liu Fuyuan's back, Chen Yao was extremely disappointed.

"Chen Yao, I'm sorry. ”

Wang Zhiwen looked at Chen Yao very ashamedly.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Chen Yao didn't want to put any pressure on Wang Zhiwen, and Wang Zhiwen was really trying to help himself.

"Brother Wang, thank you for your kindness, it's not your fault, it's all my own problem, you go to work quickly, don't lose your job because of me." ”

Chen Yao squeezed out a reluctant smile at Wang Zhiwen.

"I'm sorry. ”

Wang Zhiwen bowed his head and left, Chen Yao saw from a distance that Wang Zhiwen was actually carrying two bags of cement at a time, Liu Fu was right, everyone has a wife and children to support.

……

The nights in September were a little cooler.

Chen Yao, who was sitting in a corner of the courtyard of Anning Building Materials City, was not only cold in his body at the moment, but even his heart was cold.

He could have earned 180 yuan a night and a cash salary that gave him hope in life, but now that hope has been dashed.

Chen Yao wanted to cry very much, but he wanted to cry without tears.

Looking at the dark night sky, a shameful thought arose in his heart.

"If you leave Huacheng quietly like this, leave Shen Qiu and Yimo, and find a place to die, won't you be so tired anymore?"
