That shameful thought was fleeting, Chen Yao could not be strong, but he had to hold on.

He is the only man in the family, and now that Shen Qiu has collapsed, if he leaves, the mother and daughter will not survive.

Even if they want to leave, they have to wait for Shen Qiu to be discharged from the hospital, and their mother and daughter's lives are on the right track, right?

Like buying them a house?

Isn't this a bit fantastical, after all, now I should think more about the firewood, rice, oil and salt at home.

Yimo's birthday is approaching, isn't it time to buy her a new dress?

………

Liu Fu finished smoking the cigarette handed by Wang Zhifei, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, he found that Chen Yao was still sitting in the compound of the building materials market, looking lonely, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Fu's face showed a trace of unbearability, and finally he walked towards Chen Yao, who was sitting in the corner of the building materials market compound.

"Alright, get up. ”

He patted Chen Yao's shoulder, who was in a daze.

"Huh?" Chen Yao, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and looked at Liu Fu standing in front of him, looking dazed.

"What's your name?"

Liu Fu looked at Chen Yao and asked.

"My name is Chen Yao. ”

"It's really blind that your parents have given you a name, I will look at your wife and children at home, and give you a chance to make money, but whether you can grasp it depends on yourself, others are counting money according to time, but your small body I am worried that I will lose a bottom, I will give you a salary according to the number of bags you carry, every time you carry a bag of cement, I will give you five cents, if you want to do it, you will do it, not dry it down. ”

"Dry, dry, dry. ”

Hearing Liu Fu's words, Chen Yao, who was almost desperate, looked overjoyed and hurriedly stood up from the ground.

There seemed to be a glimmer of hope and light in his desperate life, and although he didn't know how much he could carry in one night, even if he carried a hundred bags, forty dollars, which was enough for the next day's expenses.

Chen Yao excitedly thanked Liu Fu repeatedly.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, thank you, Brother Liu. ”

"Hmph, the ugly words are ahead, if you can't do it, get out of my way, don't be an eyesore. ”

Liu Fu had a cold face and left.

Chen Yao looked at the bags of cement on the semi-trailer and was excited.

……

A bag of cement weighs forty kilograms, which is not a lot of work for Chen Yao, but after carrying it less than ten times, Chen Yao's two legs have begun to tremble.

He stood at the door of the storeroom, bent over, his hands pressed against his knees, breathing heavily, the sweat on his face falling to the ground along Chen Yao's chin.

"Can you do it? Can't do it. ”

Suddenly, Liu Fu's angry voice came from behind Chen Yao.

"I can do it, I can do it. ”

Like a dog kicked by his master, Chen Yao quickly ran to the side of the trailer, picked up a bag of cement again, and walked into the warehouse with difficulty.

Although it was a cold autumn night, in less than an hour, Chen Yao was wet with sweat, his clothes were tightly attached to his body, and Chen Yao carried the cement on his shoulders and walked forward with difficulty.

"Chen Yao, if it doesn't work, forget it, don't break your body. ”

Wang Zhiwen held the cement on his shoulders with one hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the other hand, and said to Chen Yao panting.

"Yes, I can. ”

Chen Yao squeezed out a very ugly smile, then gritted his teeth, and then walked into the warehouse again.

What was pressing on Chen Yao's shoulders was not cement, but a home that was about to be shattered, so he couldn't help it, he didn't dare to do it.

At 1:40 a.m., all the cement on the semi-trailers was neatly stacked in the warehouse.

"Finish work, call it a day, everyone come and get the money, go home early and go to bed. ”

"Send money. ”

The laborers rushed towards Liu Fu, who was standing at the door of the warehouse, and soon each laborer took his hard-earned money and left the building materials market happily.

Chen Yao, who carried the last bag of cement, did not have the slightest strength after finishing work, and sat on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"I'm tired, I'm tired. ”

Chen Yao breathed heavily.

"Chen Yao, I'll go home first. ”

Wang Zhiwen waved his hand at Chen Yao, and left the building materials market on his motorcycle, Chen Yao also wanted to wave his hand to Wang Zhiwen, but found that his hands seemed to be broken directly from the shoulder position, and he couldn't lift it at all.

"You carried 300 bags of cement today, this is your salary, get out of here, don't play dead with me. ”

Liu Fu handed one hundred and fifty to Chen Yao.

Looking at the one hundred and fifty yuan, Chen Yao suddenly grinned, revealing his teeth stained with cement ash, and his dark eyes instantly became extremely bright.

The soreness in his body seemed to disappear, and Chen Yao raised his arm and held the one hundred and fifty yuan in his hands with his hands full of mud.

One hundred and fifty yuan, so that Chen Yaoru can get a treasure.

"Brother Liu, thank you, thank you very much. Chen Yao looked at Liu Fu sincerely.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, remember to bring dry food with you tomorrow. ”

Liu Fu stuffed two white masks and a bottle of mineral water into Chen Yao's arms, then rode an electric car and drove away.

Chen Yaomu sent Liu Fu away, and then carefully put away the one hundred and fifty yuan he had exchanged for sweat.

Chen Yao, who had been hungry and panicked for a long time, like a beggar who had been wandering for a long time, gobbled up two dusty steamed buns, and after drinking a large bottle of mineral water, Chen Yao stood up from the ground, dragged his tired body, and walked in the direction of home.

Two or three kilometers away, Chen Yao, who was sore and sore, spent an hour, he had never suffered such a big sin, when he returned home, it was already three o'clock, his daughter Yimo was already asleep, Chen Yao looked at the mirror unkempt, his body was full of mud, and even his face was a little indistinguishable, inexplicably sad.

He carefully fetched a basin of water, then laboriously took it to the door, began to scrub his body, and at three twenty o'clock, just lying on the bed, he fell asleep.

That night, he had a long dream.

In the dream, his brain tumor was miraculously cured, he had his own car chain company and a mansion as he planned when he first got married, his wife Shen Qiu could use the most expensive cosmetics and wear the best clothes, and his daughter Yimo had countless toys and went to the best aristocratic school.

Well, it's beautiful, but alas, it's just a dream, an unrealistic dream.

When the alarm clock rang at seven o'clock, Chen Yao struggled to open his eyes.

"Are you going to send Yimo to school?"

Chen Yao was a little confused, and it was a little difficult to speak, but he still got up from the bed, he wanted to reach out to turn off the alarm clock, but he felt that his arm was extremely sore, pinched his head and glanced at it, and found that his two shoulders were already blue, and the skin was broken.

Worried that his daughter would wake up and find that he was injured, Chen Yao gritted his teeth and turned off the alarm clock, and then quickly put on an old long-sleeved room that was washed white, and then patted his daughter Yimo, who was still asleep.

"Xiao Yimo, get up, hurry, I'm going to be late for school. ”

The daughter woke up rubbing her eyes, opened her mouth and yawned, and then began to get dressed with the help of Chen Yao, and at 7:15, the father and daughter walked out of the rental house and walked towards the kindergarten.

After sending his daughter to kindergarten, Chen Yao hurriedly started to catch the bus again.

When the bus put him at the door of the prosperous car dealership, Chen Yao looked at the signboard of the car dealership, he squinted, he was really tired, if he could, he wouldn't want to go to work again.

But only if, because he has a home behind him, he can't stop.

……

Life has become monotonous and boring, Chen Yao's daily life is to buy a breakfast for his daughter from seven o'clock in the morning to send her daughter to school, and he will buy two steamed buns to eat when he takes the bus to the car dealership, and after getting off work at half past five in the afternoon, he hurried to the kindergarten to pick up Yimo, Sun Xiaorou is very trustworthy, every time she will wait for Chen Yao to pick up Yimo, she also proposed to Chen Yao and Yimo to stay in the kindergarten to eat, but Chen Yao refused.

When he received his daughter Yimo home and passed by the vegetable market, Chen Yao would buy some cheap vegetables, and then go home to cook for Yimo.

It is worth mentioning that after a few days, Chen Yao was already able to do this job, and even one night Chen Yao carried 400 bags of cement and took 200 yuan.

Although it was tiring, life seemed to be moving in a good direction again.

On the tenth day, Chen Yao's ninety yuan at that time actually increased to one thousand seven after his normal daily expenses.

On the afternoon of the second Friday after Shen Qiu was hospitalized, Chen Yao had just received Yimo, and Yimo said to Chen Yao aggrievedly.

"Dad, I miss Mom. ”

"Do you miss your mother? yes, we father and daughter haven't seen your mother for ten days, so let's take you to the hospital to see your mother, okay?"

For his wife Shen Qiu, Chen Yao is full of guilt, since he worked as a coolie in the building materials market, he can't spare a little leisure time every day, he rarely calls his wife, sometimes Shen Qiu calls Chen Yao, Chen Yao only hangs up the phone with a few words.

Shen Qiu didn't know how he was doing in the hospital alone, the four hundred yuan should have been spent, right?

Chen Yao hugged Yimo and got on the bus to the hospital.

Ten days of hard work day and night made Chen Yao's ninety yuan grow rapidly to 1,700 yuan, and at the gate of the hospital, Chen Yao bought fruit for Duqiu and two cartons of milk.

Although his life has been really tiring recently, Chen Yao, who took the elevator with Yimo, looked down at the things he was carrying, and still showed a rare smile.

Life seems to be moving in a good direction.

……

Chen Yao's smile froze on his face the moment he stepped out of the elevator, because he saw Li Heng, Li Heng He seemed very unhappy?

When Li Heng saw Chen Yao, his already gloomy face became very angry.

"Are you finally fucking willing to do it? Do you know your wife is going to starve to death?"

Li Heng suddenly grabbed Chen Yao's collar and smashed Chen Yao's chest with a punch.

Because of his recent hard work, Chen Yao's body was like a broken wall, and he couldn't withstand the wind and rain at all, and after being punched by Li Heng, Chen Yao staggered back five or six steps, coughing violently.

"Don't hit my dad. ”

"Wow. ”

Yimo cried and pushed Li Heng's legs hard.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Yao was holding something in his hand, and he had no way to fight back, so he could only stare at Li Heng.

Li Heng glanced at Yi Mo, who was crying, and then said coldly to Chen Yao.

"I really don't know how you have such a good wife as Shen Qiu and such a good daughter as Yimo. ”

Li Heng didn't know whether there was more envy or jealousy in his sentence.

"I'm embarrassed to ask me what's going on? Open Shen Qiu's bedside table yourself and see what's going on, I'll wait for you at the hospital gate, it's a man, you can come." ”

Li Heng let go of Chen Yao and strode into the elevator.

Looking at the closed elevator door, Chen Yao's expression was a little complicated, he was a little jealous, in the ten days that he didn't come to the hospital, how many times did Li Heng come?

Could it be that Li Heng has been accompanying Shen Qiu during this time?

"Yimo, don't tell your mother what happened just now, okay, otherwise your mother will be worried?"

Chen Yao looked at Yimo who stopped crying and said.

"Hmm. ”

Yimo nodded sensibly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and Chen Yao pushed open the door of Shen Qiu's ward.

"Mom. ”

As soon as he pushed the door open, Yi Mo rushed towards Shen Qiu on the hospital bed.

"Emo. ”

After seeing Yimo's figure, Shen Qiu, who thought that her daughter was about to go crazy, opened her arms and hugged her daughter who climbed onto the hospital bed tightly in her arms.

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, and Chen Yao, who was standing on the side carrying things, looked at the painful appearance of his wife and daughter, and felt extremely uncomfortable, all of which stemmed from his previous wasted life, eating and waiting for death.

"Wife, I'm sorry, I've been too busy these days to see you, I'm sorry. ”

His wife, Shen Qiu, has lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

Chen Yao remembered what Li Heng had said to him.

Open Shen Qiu's bedside table drawer by yourself. ”

Chen Yao put his things on the ground, walked to the side of the bed, and reached out to grab the bedside table drawer.

Shen Qiu, who was lying on the bed holding his daughter, hurriedly stretched out his hand after discovering Chen Yao's intention to open the bedside table drawer,

But it was too late, her hand had just stretched out, and Chen Yao had already pulled the drawer open.

At the moment when he came to open the drawer, when he saw the contents inside, Chen Yao was stunned in place, and then turned his head to look at his wife on the hospital bed.

There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but he was even more full of distress.

Inside the drawer was a few hard steamed buns and half a bag of leftover mustard.

"You've been like this all these days?"

Chen Yao's voice was a little hoarse, and he began to make up the picture of Shen Qiu, who had broken his leg, alone in the cold ward, eating pickled vegetables.

His face grew more and more ugly.

"Husband, it's actually pretty good, you see, the four hundred yuan you gave me is now three hundred and five left, and I can pay a month's rent. ”

Shen Qiu took out three hundred and one fifty from under the pillow and handed them to Chen Yao with satisfaction.

Chen Yao's gaze looked at the three hundred and fifty yuan in Shen Qiu's hand, and then fell on the dried steamed buns and mustard in the drawer, he was speechless at the moment, and his whole expression was a little stupid.

A patient spent fifty dollars for ten days, how did she get by?

Shen Qiu was a little worried about Chen Yao, and she pulled the corner of Chen Yao's clothes.

"Husband, in fact, it's really fine, I eat quite a lot every day, and I also thought about ordering takeout, but it's all gutter oil, junk food, and it's not as good as white flour steamed buns. ”

"I'm having an accident now, it's already a burden on my family, although I can't make money, but I can save money, you see the three hundred and fifty yuan, we can pay a month's rent, or buy Yimo a new dress." ”

"Wife, I'm sorry. ”

Chen Yao, who was suddenly silent, grabbed his wife's slightly rough hands and knelt beside his wife's hospital bed with a puff.

"I must, I must, I must. ”

"I'm going to make sure you and your daughter have a good life. ”

At this moment, he burst into tears and couldn't cry!
