At half past five in the afternoon, Chen Yufeng left the Xiao family, and when he left, Ruan Xinzhu's heartbreaking eyes made Chen Yufeng almost agree to stay! It's a pity that Chen Yufeng can't stay here all the time, so Ruan Xinzhu let Chen Yufeng leave. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Alas, it seems that we will have to come to see them more in the future, and the old man really needs spiritual comfort. Chen Yufeng couldn't help but sigh at this.

However, Chen Yufeng received the support of his grandfather on this trip, and he was still a little worried that his grandfather would oppose him taking the underground road, but judging from the situation just now, his grandfather was quite supportive of the path he took.

In the afternoon, the capital has a hint of softness, although the quality of the air is not good, but it also maintains a certain level, looking at the pedestrians on the street, Chen Yufeng felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

After walking for a while, Chen Yufeng walked to a construction site, where the sand is flying, and the workers are using their solid arms to contribute their meager strength to this modern city.

Chen Yufeng bought a bottle of mineral water to quench his thirst and watched them sweat to their heart's content. In this modern steel jungle, few people will care about them, and take their existence and dedication for granted. But they don't know that their hard work life is the same as theirs, only the difference is that they are glamorous on the surface, with suits and leather collars, while the workers are covered in dust and mud.

Under the soft sunlight, the dark cheeks of the workers are like golden fruits, bringing a sense of softness and fortitude. The noisy sound and dripping sweat all gave Chen Yufeng an unusual feeling. Chen Yufeng had never experienced this kind of life, so he couldn't understand what it contained. However, Chen Yufeng can be sure that he will respect them with a hint of admiration.

"Okay, let's work here first, everyone have a good rest, except for those who go home when it's time, all the rest of the nights will stay here and contribute to our capital!" shouted the foreman in a loud voice.

The workers should be in harmony and go about their own business. Among the workers, Chen Yufeng found a very special person. A young man, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, was sitting alone in a secluded corner, drinking mineral water and eating bread, presumably tossing and turning here at night.

After a short time, when the bread was finished, he took out a slightly worn book of poems from his bosom, and then carefully flipped through it, and Chen Yufeng became interested in him on this alone.

After thinking about it, Chen Yufeng slowly came to him and sat down, and then asked, "May I ask whose poetry collection are you reading?"

The man glanced at Chen Yufeng with some surprise, and felt that his temperament was not ordinary, so he gave Chen Yufeng a look at the poetry collection in his hand, and then said in a slightly indifferent voice: "Hey, it's Haizi's poetry collection." ”

"Haizi?"

Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect a worker to be interested in this, he couldn't help but be interested, and asked: "Haizi, a very surprising poet, his business, it's a pity!"

"No, I don't think so, because he has always longed for death, and thinks that only death can embody true art. Although his life was down, it was no less admirable. The man sighed.

Chen Yufeng was slightly surprised by this, shook his head, and said, "Death? What a taboo word!"

"Who's to say it's not? Too many people nowadays yearn for the supremacy of money, and even intellectuals are hovering in cynicism. Like us workers, we can only complain in secret, and then the days will pass, and the sun will rise tomorrow anyway!" the man laughed, the sun was shining.

Chen Yufeng was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "I want to be a loyal son and a short-lived lover of material things, and like all poets who use dreams as horses, I have to walk on the same path as martyrs and clowns. I said, will you wander on such a path?"

The man naturally knew that this was a poem from Haizi's "Dream as a Horse", but he didn't expect Chen Yufeng to know this poem, and couldn't help but smile: "I, I don't know if I will wander, but what is certain is that I have a pair of eyes that can walk in the dark." ”

"Hahaha!"

Chen Yufeng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, it was so interesting to talk to such a "strange" worker!

Chen Yufeng looked at the gradually changing sky and sighed: "If this is the case, it is a very wonderful thing to find it in the dark. ”

The man did not speak, but silently drank the mineral water.

Chen Yufeng paused and asked him, "By the way, my name is Chen Yufeng, may I ask what is your name?"

The man's eyebrows jumped, squinted, looked at the dirt on the ground, and after a moment, said, "Yun Feiyi." ”

"Well, it's a nice name. What university did you graduate from?" Chen Yufeng continued.

Yun Feiyi shook his head and said, "I just graduated from high school, and then I went to join the army. Because something happened, he was retired. You know, in today's society, it's hard to find a decent job even for college students, let alone a high school degree like mine. So I thought about it and simply came to work on the construction site and make my own contribution to the city. ”

"So that's the case, it seems that it is not easy for you!" Chen Yufeng sighed.

However, Yun Feiyi smiled and said, "No, compared to others, I am lucky." Although I can't afford to buy a house or a wife, I can live a comfortable life. And I am realizing my own worth, which makes me feel that my life is full. ”

In this regard, Chen Yufeng felt very admired for Yun Feiyi's realm, in this modern society, there are not many people like him.

"Although...... I know you're not an ordinary person, but it's good to be able to talk to people like us at the bottom of society, not to mention that you have a good level of knowledge. Yun Fei said with a smile.

"I hope you don't think so, no matter what kind of work you have, you have dignity. What's wrong with the workers? What happened to the migrant workers? Being looked down upon? Then those people probably don't even have the most basic respect. As long as you live your own value and have your own dignity, then you are the most noble one!" Chen Yufeng said solemnly.

Yun Feiyi was silent, he couldn't help but think back to his days in the army, which was full of blood and unsuspecting. Chen Yufeng's words touched him a lot, and if he could, he might have a better choice for his life.

"Leave my hometown, father and mother~ Carry your luggage and go far away~ Take care of the hot summer and winter~ Break through yourself on the way to work~"

Not far away, several workers sang "Part-time Worker", although it was not good, but they were very emotionally involved, so that the surrounding workers couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. For themselves, for their families, they really give too much!

"It's not easy for everyone!" Yun Fei sighed.

Chen Yufeng wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. This is the reality, the reality needs you to do this, you need to pay, there is no choice! It's just that this reality is too big, so big that no one pays attention to it, and these people are curled up in the corner of reality, silently dedicating their lives and everything to themselves, which is really admirable!

Just when everyone was immersed in this sad atmosphere, two strong men suddenly came to the foreman of the contractor, and said fiercely: "Hey, I said that you should pay the protection fee today, do you want to be in arrears?"

The foreman seemed to know these two people, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry for the two uncles, the economy has been sluggish recently, and the boss is always in arrears of wages, so this protection fee ...... Can you postpone it for a week?"

"Hehe, postpone it for a week? Damn, who do you think you are? Our Hongmen's protection fee can be owed? You don't inquire, who dares to owe our Hongmen's protection fee?" a strong man sneered.

"Hongmen!"

Chen Yufeng was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet people from Hongmen here, it seems that these people are really used to being powerful on weekdays.

The cold sweat on the forehead of the contractor was even more, the vest on his body was wet, and he hurriedly said: "I said two masters, please spare us, it's not that we don't want to, but it's really too difficult for us!"

"Oh, is it? embarrassing...... Yes, yes, then as long as you promise us one condition, we will let you hand it over in a week, right?" said another strong man, sneering.

When the foreman heard this, he didn't care how evil the expression on the other party's face was, and hurriedly said: "Of course, we will agree to any conditions, thank you two masters!

"Hehe, it's very simple, it's to double the protection fee when you pay it next time! This condition is very fair!" said the strong man.

Double? It's fucking blacker than a loan shark!

The foreman was stunned on the spot, his legs trembling, and he couldn't say a word. In the end, his expression was gloomy, and he sighed: "Since this is the case, then we ...... answer"

"Wait!"

Just as the foreman was about to agree, Yun Feiyi stood up and said in a cold voice: "Pay the protection fee? Hmph, you are dreaming! Where did you come from, let's go back!"
