Chapter Eighty-Five: On the Construction Site
There's no way, it's okay to be safe, it's a big deal to cover your ears when you go to bed at night.
In addition to the noise next door at night, there were no other problems, the first few days of living in because the neighborhood was not familiar with the residence, everyone did not pay much attention to the two new tenants, but after a week, the situation is different, every three or five people will come to visit the door, in addition to Sister Lan, there is also a college student named Duan Ming and Liu Dagang, a migrant worker in the construction team.
Sister Lan doesn't need to say it, just like Sun Lei said, she is very interested in Mingyan, and always feels that this child has an incomprehensible temperament, Xiaolan is smart, Sister Lan always says that she looks very much like her sister who lost back then, so whenever there is no business, she will find all kinds of excuses to approach the brother and sister, either to ask Mingyan to help carry down the furniture, or the light bulb at home is broken, let Mingyan help change it, considering that she has a good relationship with Sun Lei, Mingyan is embarrassed to refuse.
Sister Lan lives in a small suite with two bedrooms and one living room, the furniture in the house is very complete and new, it is said that she bought it herself, she said that although the people who do their job are particularly dirty in the eyes of the outside world, she does not steal or rob, and there is nothing wrong with supporting herself by herself.
It's true that Ming Yan doesn't like their profession from the bottom of his heart, but he can't talk about despising them, after all, everyone's lifestyle is different, and they may also have their difficulties.
Duan Ming is a recent college graduate, holding a laptop to play games every day, and he owes two months of rent and has no money, so he is forced by the landlord to have no choice, so he has to go to the nearby labor market housekeeping company to wander around, leaving early and returning late every day with a drooping face, and he knows that there is nothing to gain at a glance.
Mingyan knows that college students like Duan Ming are not unable to find a job, but their vision is higher than that of ordinary people, and it is best to work for a short time, work easily, and double their income.
You must know that a person sets his own goals too high, which is often difficult to achieve, Duan Ming is a typical example, over time, he is full of despair in life, always thinking that he can find himself from the game.
The old man of the landlord would come to Duan Ming to pay the rent almost every day, saying that if he didn't pay the rent, he would be kicked out, Duan Ming begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother that it was not easy to coax the old man of the landlord away, and after the landlord left, he continued to start his game life with the computer.
Once Duan Ming's computer was broken, and he was reluctant to take it to a repair shop to repair it, so he found Mingyan with the psychology of going to the doctor with illness, to be honest, Mingyan didn't have much contact with computers when he was in school, let alone this high-end thing, fortunately, Xiaolan was well-informed, and he repaired it in three or two clicks, Duan Ming was very happy, and since then they have become familiar with each other, as long as there is anything wrong with his computer, he will come to visit the door with the computer.
Mingyan looked at the computer, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, he asked Xiaolan if she could contact her father abroad through the Internet, Xiaolan suddenly realized, and hurriedly said yes, she remembered her father's Email, as long as she sent an email, her father would definitely receive it.
Duan Ming said pitifully that because he owed two months of rent, his broadband was pulled out by the landlord, Mingyan asked him how to open the network, he said that as long as he paid an extra hundred yuan a month, although Mingyan was a little reluctant, but if he could find Xiaolan's overseas family in this way, a hundred yuan was worth it, so he immediately went downstairs to find the old man of the landlord who was walking the bird, the landlord said that one hundred yuan was not enough, the broadband upgrade price had increased, at least one hundred and five, and he had to buy his own line, the landlord's starting price made Ming Yan very annoyed, but he still gave him two hundred yuanใ
After the network was opened, Xiaolan sent an email, but she never received a reply from the other party, she was a little discouraged, Mingyan comforted her and said that it didn't matter, we can wait slowly.
As for Liu Dagang, who worked in the construction team, it was a coincidence, that day Mingyan and Xiaolan were about to go out to find a job, and they happened to see him move a few sacks downstairs from the house, because he was in too much hurry and accidentally stepped on the empty stairs, fortunately he was pulled by Mingyan, otherwise he would have to fall from above, Mingyan simply did a good job to the end, and moved the remaining two sacks for him.
Liu Dagang was very grateful, Mingyan asked him what was in the bag, the weight was not light, Liu Dagang smiled and said that it was all copper wire picked up on the construction site, he emphasized that it was just the section that the people who picked it up cut off the unwanted section, he said that although his culture is not high, he also knows what things can be done and what things can not be done, Mingyan looked at him with a simple look, naturally believed in him, I am afraid that some people will not think so.
Liu Dagang said that it was okay, and he was not picking it up alone, everyone was picking it up.
Sold the copper wire for money, Liu Dagang came to visit the door, saying that it was to express his gratitude to Ming Yan, and he wanted to invite the two of them to go to the restaurant downstairs for a meal, Ming Yan politely declined, he now tries to show his head as little as possible, especially in a big city like Shanghai, if he doesn't get it, he will be discovered by the police, and he can't be arrested for the time being until Xiaolan's family is found.
Knowing that Ming Yan was worried about finding a job, Liu Dagang suggested that he go to the construction site to work with him for a few days, without using an ID card, Ming Yan agreed without thinking about it.
Early the next morning, Mingyan took Xiaolan to follow Liu Dagang to the construction site, the construction site is very large, the house is also very high, the protective net has not been completely removed, due to the low temperature, a lot of the ground is covered with a thick layer of ice, Mingyan asked Liu Dagang for a coat for Xiaolan to drape, let her follow him closely.
Liu Dagang is a frame worker, that is, to build an iron frame, the work is not difficult, but it is a little hard, Mingyan has good strength, and is not afraid of hardship, he will be able to study for a few days, Liu Dagang praised him for his cleverness in front of the foreman, the foreman is a big fat man in his forties who chews betel nut all the year round, and likes to lose his temper every day, Liu Dagang was reprimanded by him a lot, Mingyan is also used to it, it is not easy to make money in these years, just scold a few words, and there will be no less meat.
This afternoon, Mingyan was immersed in work, but he didn't see the shadow of Liu Dagang and Xiaolan, just now Xiaolan said that she wanted to go to the toilet, it was Mingyan who took her there, Liu Dagang said that he was going too, so the two of them went together, but they went for half an hour and didn't come back, Mingyan suddenly beat a drum in his heart, and immediately put down the work in his hand and ran to the direction of the toilet.
"No wonder I always feel that there are fewer and fewer copper wires on the construction site recently, it turns out that you two stole it, damn thief, call me. It was Zhang Youliang from the construction site who spoke.
Liu Dagang and Xiaolan, who were wrapped in coats, were surrounded by a group of migrant workers holding wooden sticks, Liu Dagang explained that he did not steal, those were all picked up, Zhang Youliang listened to his explanation, and at the sound of an order, those migrant workers raised their sticks and hit them......
