Volume 1: A Hundred Years of Love Chapter 34: The Craftsman
Some people say that the dreams of people with broken hearts are usually warm, because after the heartbreak, there will be no more brokenness, and if there is no brokenness in the dream, it will present something warm.
On the second night in Shenzhen, in a dream, Wang Shiyi met family affection and indulged in a love.
In the afterglow of the cold moonlight, a tear gently slid across Wang Shiyi's handsome cheeks.
Is it moving?
In the dimness, there was a knock on the door.
The sound was slight at first, and then it became short and dense, as if ringing in his ears, disturbing Wang Shiyi's sweet dreams.
Who?
"Is the door you rented ringing?" Wang Shiyi asked himself in his heart between half dreaming and waking up.
"Yes, it can't be wrong. The other he spoke in the dark.
Who knocks on the door in the middle of the night?
"Is there really a big thief?" he asked himself in his heart, he was worried all night last night, this outside the Shenzhen Pass, is also a place with a large floating population, in case there are thieves and thieves, it is not impossible.
As he pondered, suddenly, the knock on the door turned into a hammer sound, clanging, and the sound was very clear in the quiet darkness.
"Who's crazy? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The cunning brother, who was still talking in his dreams just now, was awakened by the sudden sound, and shouted loudly to the door in a hazy voice.
"Little brother, come over for a drink. A voice came low through the crack in the door, it was Nigen's voice, yes, it was his.
As soon as Wang Shiyi heard the familiar voice, a heart hanging in his throat finally let go, he got up from the bed, walked to the door with a pair of slippers, squeaked, and opened the door.
The person standing outside the door, sure enough, was Ergen, and I saw him carrying a bag of beer and a few plastic bags of braised vegetables in his hand, and he was saying to himself in a warm voice: "Little brother, come and drink." ”
He had just come back from overtime, and when he passed by the shops and stalls downstairs, he also bought some food and drink.
"Brother Ergen, if you knock on the door with a little more force, the door of the rental house for ten yuan a night will be broken. The cunning brother also got up, and when he saw that it was two, the resentment did not completely dissipate.
If the door is broken, not only will you lose money, but you won't even have a place to stay at night.
Renting a ten-dollar shop also depends on luck.
"You're not scared, are you! I knocked quietly at first, and when I heard you dozing, I knew you were asleep, so I knocked harder. Ergen explained with a smile, a person who holds a grinder weighing dozens of catties every day must not be light.
"Is my sister-in-law back?" Ergen seemed to be in a good mood, and Wang Shiyi asked softly.
As soon as Ergen heard Wang Shiyi mention his wife, he immediately changed his face, and said a little sadly: "Alas, don't mention her, mention her sadly, I am starting to think about it now, I think about it now, I think I am blind, and the money is sent to something called Hanako." ”
"Dude, you're right, 'sometimes in life you have to have, life has no time to force it', you just look at it a little, things will always have a result, you wait. The cunning brother shook his lush hair, like an emotional expert.
"Drink!" Ergen lit up the wine and food in his hand.
As soon as he saw the abundant food, he quickly put on his clothes and said, "Wait, I'll be right away!"
Walking into Ergen's room again, it was still very messy, with clothes and socks thrown everywhere on the bed, and a dozen or so wine bottles on the ground, and cigarette butts had not yet been swept away.
The room without a woman was messy, like a shell without a soul, lifeless.
"Hey, hey, the room is a mess, I'm too busy at work, I can't take care of these, in Shenzhen, there is a nest to lie down and sleep, and I'm satisfied." "Ergen is a little embarrassed, it's messy, it's a little messy.
I get up early in the morning and leave, and when I come back, it is already eleven or twelve o'clock at night.
"We rent a temporary house, everything is the landlord's, there is no nest, part-time work, just a little bit better. The cunning brother saw the unease of this honest man, picked up a beer bottle from the ground and said.
At this time, Ergen poured the pork knuckles soaked in brine, roasted chicken wings, boiled stinky tofu, and duck neck marinated in sauce from plastic bags into different bowls, and the room was immediately filled with a smell of meat, and the three of them sat down around the table.
"Come, drink!" said Nigen, holding up his glass.
"It's still a wine that doesn't need money, it's delicious, it's the New Year, it's a good time to drink, it's good, cheers!"
Wang Shiyi also picked up the wine glass and drank it all, he shouldn't have woken up yet, the whole person looked unguarded, and he looked like he was not in a state.
"It's delicious, this stinky tofu tastes good. Brother Cunning said as he ate the dark stinky tofu.
"The person who made this stinky tofu is a Hunan native, and his craftsmanship is very authentic. "Ergen, a native of the northwest, actually fell in love with this southern snack.
He works overtime every day, it's almost ten o'clock at night after work, and he does manual work, and the little food in his stomach has long been wiped out.
"Stinky tofu?" As soon as Wang Shiyi heard this name, he frowned.
He twitched his nose, and there was indeed a foul smell in the air!
"Pretty tasty, would you like to try one?" Ergen asked, pointing to stinky tofu.
There's only one left on the plate!
If you don't do it again, you won't have a chance, because the cunning brother's chopsticks are like a hungry eagle in the sky, and they have circled several times.
Wang Shiyi decided to go on an adventure!
"Click" Wang Shiyi clamped one tightly with chopsticks, frowned, closed his eyes, and put it in his mouth, it was burnt and crispy, and there was even a dark fragrance.
"Yes, it seems that there are still a lot of dragons and tigers hidden in this area of peasant houses. Wang Shiyi relieved his eyebrows, opened his eyes, and couldn't help but praise.
"Little brother, don't you underestimate the migrant workers living in this rental house, which of the computers and mobile phones used in the world is not from their hands?" Ergen said proudly after taking a sip of wine.
When he said this, he deliberately raised his right hand proudly in front of the two of them, and said, "Don't look at the ugliness of my second hand, it only has four fingers, but the products made in this palm are sold all over the world. ”
Wang Shiyi looked up and saw that the palm that was missing his little finger was staying in Wang Shiyi's field of vision, so he gave his thumbs up and exclaimed: "Cow man!"
"Awesome, man!" The cunning brother grabbed his hand and took a picture in front of him, "Yes, it's a good pair of money-grabbing hands!"
"Really?" Ergen's face bloomed, in his hometown, those fortune tellers who read the eight characters looked at his hands like this.
"Craftsman! Touching it, the knuckles of the hand were thick and as powerful as tree roots, and the cunning brother continued to praise.
After a few glasses of beer, Wang Shiyi became bolder, turned his head and asked, "Brother, I just came from my hometown and want to find a job here in Shenzhen, do you have an acquaintance to introduce you to the factory?"
Early tomorrow morning, the cunning brother will go to work in the factory, and finding a job has become a big problem for Wang Shiyi.
"Little brother, if you want to enter the electronics factory that blows air conditioners, it is difficult, I have two big and thick ones, and I have been working here for five or six years, and I know a lot of people, and I can't recognize a few who can help. "Ergen is telling the truth, a general worker, how many managers can he know?
Even if he knew, no one would help him, and if you think about it, if he had a relationship, he wouldn't sell coolies and work as a grinder in a hardware factory.
"Wang Shiyi, when it comes to finding a job, Brother Ergen can't help. The cunning brother took a sip of wine and said, he knew very well that Wang Shiyi had asked the wrong person.
Hey, people who don't have a job, whoever they meet, will take him as their own life-saving straw!
"If you don't dislike it, if you want to enter our factory, it's easy, the factory is still recruiting, I say a word to the supervisor, and you should be able to enter the factory." The two said to Wang Shiyi while gnawing on the chicken wings.
