The mosquito bite and Xiao Nan's fever that had not subsided contributed to Li Jing's insomnia. All night he was worried, tossing and turning in bed. Shi Er slapped mosquitoes, Shi Er probed the temperature of Xiao Nan's forehead, I don't know if it lasted for an hour or two hours, and finally fell asleep in a daze under the tiredness accumulated throughout the day.

In a trance, he had an impression that Xiao Nan's fever had subsided.

What I remember clearly is the sound of mosquitoes ringing in my ears non-stop, as if living in my brain - mosquito coils cost two dollars a box, why don't they work?

....

The dazzling sunlight accompanied by Xiao Nan's crisp voice pulled Li Jing out of his sleep.

"Dad... Father. ”

"Huh?"

Li Jing opened his eyes unwillingly, got up, and looked at Xiao Nan who was sitting on the bed barefoot with a hazy vision, because his mind was a little blurry, he subconsciously asked, "Why did you get up so early?"

"Dad, Xiao Nan has been up for a long time, you should get up. ”

“....”

Li was stunned. The next moment, he noticed the dry air between his snorts and the rising heat of the room that his skin sensed due to the scorching sun, and he instantly lost his sleepiness. I flipped up from the bed again, found the heel of the shoes on the ground and opened the line, the surface was a little small, and there were a lot of stained sneakers, and I hurriedly lifted the factory uniform....

It's over, it's over... It's not like 5 or 6 o'clock!

What time is it?How do you sleep until now?Won't you be late? 50 yuan will be deducted for one day of absenteeism, and 5 yuan will be deducted for being late for one time!

"Xiao Nan, what do you want to eat?" Li Jing was just about to step out of the door, when he suddenly remembered Xiao Nan's question about breakfast.

Xiao Nan shook his head, "I'm not hungry, Xiao Nan ate steamed buns just now." ”

The bag of steamed buns placed on the small table with light on the wall under the wardrobe is indeed missing, seeing this, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and there was no need to take time to buy breakfast and run back and forth. However, he still remembered Xiao Nan's fever yesterday, and asked with concern, "Are you still feeling well?"

"It's okay now. She shook her head again, "It's just..."She didn't forget what happened last night, and tried hard to remember it for a while, "It's just... Headaches. Under the weather. ”

"Headache..."

Call... It seems to be an ordinary fever. Let's see if I have time to take Xiaonan to see a doctor, if not, I will go to the health center to ask about the situation and prescribe suitable medicine to her.

.....

Hurried downstairs to the old Zhang Ji Hotel to ask the time, the man surnamed Lu was sitting under the ceiling fan that kept rolling, still holding the pu fan and shaking, and said to him, "The sun is very hot today, the weather forecast is 38 degrees Celsius, you pay more attention to drinking some water at work... It's only 6:30 and it's so hot... It costs people's lives. ’

Speaking of which, I didn't forget to ask Li Jingning, "What's wrong with Xiao Nanyao?" After getting a reply from Li Jingjing, he nodded with peace of mind, "That's good." Later, I will ask my daughter-in-law to pick her up, and take care of her here, so as not to be ignorant alone, and it will not be fun to have heat stroke again...."After speaking, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and it took a long time before he said, "If you go to work, pay attention." The weather forecast is not very accurate, and it may not be 39 degrees or later. ”

It's 6:30 a.m. now. It takes 30 minutes to run to the factory, and it's too late to look at it. Li Jing had no choice but to catch the No. 9 bus at the bus stop, and went to the factory in a puff of billowing earthy yellow dust and smoke. ——How is it more cost-effective to deduct two dollars for a fare than five yuan for being late....

Ah~ I was busy for two hours yesterday, and it was only more than two dollars.

....

The two-dollar fare was not in vain, and Li Jingjing was not late. He was secretly glad that he got in the car, and as soon as he changed into his factory uniform and rushed to the workshop, he began to take a roll call before he could drink some water or take a breath. A few minutes late, that's a big loss.

The machines are busy. Li Jingjing, who has adapted to work, will no longer be irritable by the noisy sound of the machine and the non-stop fan, but the work is still tiring and boring, but fortunately, he is busy now, at least he can take some time to slow down when he is tired...

Li Jing felt that life was very boring. Well, for example, it's like boiled water, it's light and tasteless, but he has to drink it, and he has to live a good life.

It didn't take long for me to finally take a break and change materials. Li Jingjing, who was sitting on the side, helped sort out the paper and hygiene on the big iron table. Quietly listening to the gossip of people on the side-

"Did you read the news? Yesterday it was reported that a migrant worker won hundreds of thousands of dollars for the first time he bought the Mark Six lottery... Tsk, what kind of luck is that. ”

"Hundreds of thousands... Alas, you see that we are busy all day late, and more than a thousand yuan in January. Decades have not necessarily earned the money to buy a Mark Six lottery. ”

"You go and buy it, if you win a jackpot, even if you are almost there, you may be a million yuan. ”

"I didn't have that life. ”

A bunch of people gossiping.

Li Jing listened with envy on the side.

Ah, hundreds of thousands... How much money is a few hundred thousand yuan in this era? How much money is a house? How many houses can be bought? You can do business, make a fortune, and live a good life... Those people are really good.

Li Jingjing has not dreamed of learning about the future development like the traveler in the story, making a lot of money, finding a beautiful girl, and living a good life. But in the cruel reality at the moment, just a few hundred yuan of living expenses is difficult for him to be anxious, what else can he do... The torture of these days has made him no longer have that unrealistic illusion. If you can earn enough for Xiaonan's monthly living expenses, you will be satisfied with your peace of mind. At most, it's a luxury hope - it would be nice to be able to scrape together the money to buy a house while the house price is still low.

.....

After getting off work at noon, Li Jingjing did not rush to the crowded canteen to grab an empty table to eat as he did a few days ago. He poured a glass of water, changed out of his factory clothes and immediately walked to the outside of the factory, and it took nearly 20 minutes to finally touch the front of the health center where he was looking for work a few days ago.

In this small health center, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat sits on a chair, holding a bowl of mung bean soup in his hand, and his eyes linger on the TV hanging on the wall. Next to the small fan at the office desk and some medical supplies are two small dishes of porridge he has served. As soon as he heard the sound of the glass door being opened, he turned sideways, put down the bowl in his hand, glanced at Li Jingjing who came in, lowered his head and took out the case list from the drawer, picked up the pen, and said, "Sit." What's uncomfortable?"

Li Jingjing didn't like the smell of medicine, he rubbed his nose, sat down across from him, and said, "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm here to buy medicine." ”

"Oh... What medicine?"

"That's right, doctor. My daughter was going to bed last night, and suddenly she said that she had a headache, and she touched her head at that time, and there was a little fever, I felt that it might be caused by blowing a fan too much, and I fed her some antipyretics, and then the fever subsided, and she got up in the morning and regained her spirits...."

Li Jingjing's words made the middle-aged man in front of him look puzzled, and he looked stunned, 'Aren't you solved, what are you doing here'. Seeing this, Li Jing was a little embarrassed, he was not good at words, and his expression skills were also lacking, so after a little combing, he said again, "Mainly a few days ago, my daughter also had such symptoms, and when she slept, she said that she was uncomfortable, but she didn't have a fever at that time, and I didn't care too much." But last night it was repeated... I was afraid that she might have some other illness or something, but she didn't say anything uncomfortable. ”

"Then you'll have to bring the kid here. The middle-aged doctor frowned dissatisfiedly, "You don't have children, what do I think?" muttered this. "How old are you?"

"I'm very busy at work and don't have time, so I'll ask first..."Li Jing explained embarrassedly, "5 years old." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Many children are indeed not in good health, and in this summer, they are prone to heat stroke, or they blow fans and air conditioners and catch colds." If you don't bring the child here, I won't be able to diagnose and prescribe medicine to you. In this case, it may be a fever. You usually ask her to drink more hot water, and don't turn on the fan too much. If you still have a problem, you have to bring it over. Think about it, is it important to go to work or to have children?"

Li Jing listened to him say this, and it was not easy to ask anything. After hesitation, he still asked the doctor to prescribe some antipyretic medicine for children, although he was in good spirits today, it did not mean that he was better.
