Chapter 11: On the River Island (3)
Twenty-five days and nights passed.
Ye Ziyu began to adapt to the environment here. I often hear him laughing when I go to work. He was originally good-mouthed, and after getting acquainted with his co-workers, he often teased people. Most of the migrant workers have a straightforward temperament, and where they can talk about him, his words can always cause everyone to laugh. Although I was tired during the day, I was very relaxed. At night, the snoring of the entire dormitory was loud, and it had no effect on Ye Ziyu's sleep. Only at dusk, he would occasionally look at the sunset on the horizon in a daze, dazed and depressed.
After working for half a month, Ye Ziyu began to think again that it would not be a game if it went on like this. If you take this as a temporary exercise, many people will praise you for being a good young man who is not afraid of getting dirty or tired. But if this becomes your lifelong career, many people will look down on you again. Besides, if his father Ye Chengxuan knew that his son had run to the river beach to dig up mud, he would definitely drag him back.
It's a pity that Ye Ziyu still can't think of a reason. The words "unemployed youth" gave him an extreme headache, he was afraid that his neighbors would use this word to look at him, and he was even more embarrassed to use this identity to face the girl he liked. Ye Ziyu regretted why he didn't work hard anymore and studied hard.
On this day, when everyone was cleaning up the pollution on the river beach as usual, they found a huge boulder in the middle of the river, most of which was buried in the mud, and I was afraid that it weighed thousands of catties. If you want to dredge the river, you must remove it, but after tossing for a long time, the stone does not move at all, but everyone is tired and panting. Ye Ziyu was also among them, and he smiled while wiping his sweat: "I'll tell you a joke." The ant and the elephant got married, but within a few days the elephant died. The ant was very sad, crying and scolding: 'Honey, why are you ahead of me, I don't have to do anything else in this life, just bury you.' ’”
Everyone listened to it for a while, but the spirit came again. So the captain mobilized the entire section of the river and decided to remove the silt around the boulder first, and then work together to push the stone to the shore, tie the rope, and pull it up the embankment with a truck.
It took a whole afternoon to pry open the boulder. Ye Ziyu worked hard in the crowd, and he took the lead in shouting from time to time to cheer everyone up. The river stirred up the muddy mud and splashed everyone's faces, and it was almost impossible to tell who was who.
The boulder finally began to loosen, which gave people more confidence and the trumpet shouted louder. Little by little, the crowd worked hard to move the boulder towards the shore. It wasn't until the evening that the big guy was finally pulled to the embankment.
Ye Ziyu was so tired that he fell apart. After seeing the stone being pulled to the embankment, he took a deep breath and stretched. Looking around, I didn't care about the mess, and lay in the grass by the river for a long time before slowly going up to the embankment with a sour smell.
When Ye Ziyu walked up the river embankment in the crowd, he was stunned!
He saw that Yang Wanqing was standing on the embankment with a smile!
Ye Ziyu was still hallucinating from overwork. He blinked a few times, and once again saw that this was indeed Wanqing! She was smiling around, apparently trying to find him among the black, stinking clay figures.
Only then did he notice that the people on the embankment were all walking towards the dormitory step by step, and some of them were still looking back when they were about to enter the door, looking at Yang Wanqing with surprise in their minds. Who is this? No one could have imagined that this city girl dressed like a flower seemed to be looking for someone among them.
In such a contrasting environment, Wanqing is indeed too eye-catching. She was wearing a fuchsia suspender long skirt, two slender legs stretched out from the lace-trimmed skirt, looking so graceful, a snow-white shirt tied in the skirt, and a bouquet of yellow fruit orchids exuding a faint fragrance hung on her chest. The smiling face is as bright as a flower in the sunset!
Ye Ziyu couldn't figure out how she could find here. Seeing that she didn't recognize herself, she hurriedly ran to the dormitory. He wanted to go back and wash up, change his clothes, and come out to see her again.
Yang Wanqing saw that everyone was about to run out, and she didn't see the target she was looking for, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and hurriedly stopped a person and asked, "Hello, may I ask if there is one of you named Ye Ziyu here?"
It was Xiao Zhang who was stopped, and he walked slowly, just to look at this beautiful girl a few more times and feast his eyes. Unexpectedly, the other party actually stopped him from talking, he was so excited that he raised his hand and pointed, "Are you looking for him?"
Ye Ziyu knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to come to Yang Wanqing's side, and said embarrassedly: "You wait first, I'll go change clothes and we'll talk." ”
Yang Wanqing smiled even brighter, she covered her lips lightly with one hand, and said happily:
"Oops, how, how ...... you"
She couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't your dad say that you are a custodian here? Well, okay, you hurry up, there is good news for you." ”
Ye Ziyu was very embarrassed, he was very reluctant for Yang Wanqing to see him like this. Good news? What's the good news? You've been offered a college offer? But what about me?
He still quickly finished taking a shower, and walked out under the surprised eyes of everyone.
Yang Wanqing brought him an absolute piece of good news!
She told him that this year, for the first time, colleges and universities will implement a dual-track enrollment system, that is, in addition to unified enrollment, there are also commission training and self-funded enrollment, with a two-year study system. Yesterday, her mother learned through acquaintances that the score line for this grade had just been determined, 430 points! So Yang Wanqing found Ye Ziyu's house according to the mailing address. His father, Ye Chengxuan, told her that after falling off the list, Ye Ziyu was in a bad mood and went to work with a classmate in the Suqiao section of the Nanhe Project, and did not go home for more than three weeks. So today, Yang Wanqing rushed here again.
When Ye Ziyu heard this, he stared at Yang Wanqing in surprise, and looked at it in a daze for a long time before he opened his mouth and said:
"Really?"
"Of course it is!"
"Y-Can you be sure?"
He asked her with a trembling voice, unable to believe the great news.
Yang Wanqing giggled again: "Sure, it's true, and one false one pays ten." ”
Ye Ziyu also smiled, smiling very heartily. Although he couldn't figure out what compensation could be made if it was fake, he clenched his fist excitedly and waved it aimlessly twice in the air, only to feel a breath in his chest spill out to the sky, and it was extremely happy. He didn't know what words could say, but said repeatedly:
"Great, that's great, that's really good!"
At this moment, he felt that he was extremely lucky, even luckier than Yang Wanqing! How to describe it? It was like when he missed the last train and was hesitating and helpless, but the last train came unexpectedly; it was like an important thing that was lost and regained, it was more precious than before it was not lost!
