After finishing work in the evening, everyone first took a bath and ate, and then sat in groups in the field to enjoy the shade. As Captain Liu said, this is the same as the wilderness, there is really no good place to go. When you don't have to work, everyone is bored. The only hilarious thing was a large group of people surrounding a lean man, listening to him tell a meat joke that was circulating in society. There were still a few people listening to the radio, and they didn't know what station they wanted to receive, so they tuned around, and suddenly one of them stood up and said: "Don't look for it, that kind of program will not be broadcast until the second half of the night, just for the two of them to enjoy after going to bed." This caused another burst of laughter.

Ye Ziyu sat aside, and no one paid attention. He also knows that today's performance makes these people look down on him a little, although other people are not in the same group as him, but they will resonate, they don't have the strength to have such an idea, how can they ask for it? Ye Ziyu is familiar with history and knows that the problem of the Chinese is that they do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness. He thought that if this was the case tomorrow, they would all go to the captain to complain, and he would not be able to stay any longer. What to do? He didn't want to go home in two days, although he didn't have to do physical work at home, but the small space would make him feel more depressed, and he had to stay here anyway.

Ye Ziyu was repeatedly entangled in the embarrassing scene of the afternoon in his mind, and his heart was sad. These uneducated people, although he didn't get into college, but among them, he can always be regarded as an intellectual, right? They don't know how to respect him? He thought of a poem by Li Bai: "Daxian Tiger became stupid, and he looked like an ordinary person back then." He wanted to write it down and put it on the head of his bed. But then I think about it, it's strange that these people have to understand it. Besides, it's not about knowledge, it's about strength. Who can't make it impossible for them to do all this effort? An idea occurred to him.

Ye Ziyu found three people in the same group. Although they don't care, he doesn't care. He crouched beside them, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and handed one to each of them. This pack of cigarettes was specially bought before he came yesterday, and he originally wanted to give it to the captain depending on the situation, but now it comes in handy first. This bit of personal accident, he still learned a little bit by himself.

A few people were a little embarrassed, and Ye Ziyu forced the cigarette into their hands. Their looks are also a little better. Ye Ziyu didn't care whether they listened or not, and said it to herself: "The matter in the afternoon, I'm causing you trouble, so let's do it, tomorrow's dinner will not be eaten in the cafeteria, I will treat you to the market restaurant, and I will thank the next few people, so let's make it first, what do you think?" ”

When the three of them heard this, they were taken aback and began to look at him seriously. Seeing that he didn't look like a joke, he paused, but was a little embarrassed, after all, they were all very simple migrant workers in the city.

Xiao Wan said: "Actually, it's nothing to pick more, it's just ......"

"Then what's the matter," Ye Ziyu interrupted him, "People who work the same shouldn't let you pick more, it's just that I haven't done this kind of work, and my body is not suitable for it." So, I thought I would do it and see if it would work. ”

He saw that the three of them were listening to him attentively, and then he continued:

"Tomorrow I will try to pick as many as I can, but I can only increase it slowly, so I will have to bear with you, and then I will give you half of my daily salary, until the day I do as much work as you, and then I will say something else. Do you think it's okay? ”

The three of them let out a "ahhhh I think that this strength is more or less, and it is not a big deal. If this kid is willing to share half of his salary, then the average person can earn about 1 yuan and 3 cents more per day, and nearly 40 yuan more a month, which is a good thing. Everyone comes out of the countryside to work, who doesn't want to earn more money? Thinking about it like this, the attitude of the three of them completely changed.

Xiao Wan said: "If this is the case, we will thank you, and you don't have to break the bank for dinner tomorrow night." ”

"That's not good, you still have to ask for food." Ye Ziyu waved his arm and said very imposingly.

At this point, the embarrassment of the afternoon was nothing. Ye Ziyu, who had been suffering from insomnia after the college entrance examination, slept very soundly tonight, and it was estimated that he was really tired from his day's labor.

The next day, the three people in the same group became very attentive to Ye Ziyu, and often told him to pick less if he couldn't bear it, but Ye Ziyu said no. He still worked hard to shovel the mud, and carried two more loads to the embankment than yesterday, and he found that it was not a difficult task, and there was a certain skill, and if he mastered it, he would not be so tired.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing work on time, Ye Ziyu and the others went back to the dormitory to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went to the restaurant in the market together. The market is about ten miles away from the construction site, and the prices here are extremely cheap, three meats, one vegetarian and four dishes, one person and another beer, and the rice is not considered to be eaten casually, just 30 yuan consumption.

The meal was extremely enjoyable. Ye Ziyu thought to herself: These two days are too physically exhausting, the food on the construction site is really not eaten by people, there is no oil and water at all, it is dirty, if you are not really hungry, how can you get in? It's good to still have money, what you want to eat in the restaurant, and there are people waiting. Or just partner with Lu Yuhao to open a small restaurant. If you can't sell out, you can eat it yourself.

After the meal, the four of them happily walked back. Along the way, their attitude towards Ye Ziyu was better, which made Ye Ziyu a little inexplicably moved, he felt that these ordinary laborers were really simple. As long as you treat them well, they will treat you very sincerely. However, the three of them also had some questions about Ye Ziyu. Xiao Zhang asked: "Look at you, don't you look like you're from the countryside?" ”

Ye Ziyu didn't want them to be suspicious, and he didn't want to bother to explain, so he said: "I am, because I have studied and lived in a relative's house in the city in the past two years, so there have been some changes. ”

Only then did the three of them dispel their doubts. It turned out that he had relatives in the city, so it was no wonder that he didn't feel distressed about spending money indiscriminately.

"Haven't you graduated yet?"

"Just graduated this year."

"That's going to go to university, right?"

"I took the test, but I didn't get in." A trace of gloom flashed across Ye Ziyu's face.

The three of them felt it, but they didn't say anything. After a while, the old guy said, "If you don't get in, you can also ask your relatives to help you get a good job, so you don't have to work so hard." ”

The other two also chimed in and said, "Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't get in, ask your relatives to think of a way, and you will have a good future." ”

A good future? What is a good future? A decent unit? Or is it a so-called formal job? Ye Ziyu was a little annoyed, he didn't want to discuss this topic anymore.

After a few days, Ye Ziyu felt a lot more physical, and he could easily pick up the basket and go back and forth four or five times. The rancid smell of the river is also accustomed and has no effect on the appetite at all. The night here is relatively boring, there is nothing to do, just chatting blindly, and the most energetic thing to talk about is the topic of women. This section of the river is all male, and because it is located in the suburbs, there are not many pedestrians, so everyone is very envious of the people who work in the city, and there are many beautiful city women who can be seen there every day.

Ye Ziyu didn't care, he listened to them tell pornographic jokes, and found that although they love to talk, their language is boring, and they only talk about those few bad things, those few adjectives. The most talked about is that the lean man described a beautiful little daughter-in-law or something, and only shouted: "Oh, that cousin is so miserable, that face plate, that breasts, that ass, oops, I can't say anything, it's so comfortable!" When I think of it, I want to hug her in the chest, oops......"

So the audience grinned excitedly, as if savoring the feeling of holding such a woman in their arms. After Ye Ziyu listened to it a few times, he was bored, thinking that this was not as interesting as the meat jokes that the boys had told together in the past. And the gang of tinkerers who tinkered with the radio, it turned out that they wanted to listen to "Zero Night Talk?" Married Life" column.

This all-male world can't help but make Ye Ziyu think of the girls in the class and Yang Wanqing. It turns out that it is so wonderful to be able to be classmates with a group of young girls who are like flowers.
