In the evening, Ding Fengjun called Li Ergou and Zhang Jilai to go to the restaurant for dinner, which was regarded as celebrating in advance that everyone had work to do, and at the dinner table, Ding Fengjun said to Zhang Tiedan a little provocatively: "Tiedan, why did you agree so happily this time, can't you work with me?"

Zhang Tiedan replied with a smirk: "Second brother, there is a premise that I can't work with you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ding Fengjun asked with some puzzlement: "I haven't heard you mention it before, what is the premise?"

Zhang Tiedan pretended to be mysterious and said, "Do you remember what I once said to you, second brother?"

Ding Fengjun waved his hand impatiently and said, "You have said so much, how do I know which sentence you are referring to." ”

Zhang Jilai really didn't want to look at Zhang Tiedan's stupid and smug look, he interjected: "Tiedan, don't sell it, you can say it directly when the second brother asks you." ”

Zhang Tiedan pouted and said: "Isn't it what I said two days ago, when we met the wrong person at the wrong time, in fact, we met each other at the wrong time, but the premise I said has not yet arrived, this premise is another wrong time, and when this time comes, there is really no room for reversal." ”

Ding Fengjun said disdainfully: "Tiedan, I find that now I really can't understand what you say more and more, is it because my comprehension ability has declined or your expression ability is too weak?"

Hearing Ding Fengjun say this, Zhang Tiedan was a little anxious, and he began to explain to Ding Fengjun with his teeth and claws: "Second brother, to put it bluntly, I mean that we can follow your side, but only in our Liaocheng area, we can't go far away, as long as we go far away, our brother's life will definitely not be guaranteed!"

Ding Fengjun laughed, he didn't believe Zhang Tiedan's illogical nonsense, Ding Fengjun waved his hand and said: "Forget it, silly Tiedan, I found out that you look at the essence of a person twice, but a little bit of fortune-telling, I think you are really not as good as the blind man on the street, so if you listen to what people say, when it comes to you, you will die with one mouth, such a chat method, it is estimated that no one wants to be friends with you." ”

Zhang Jilai also agreed with what Ding Fengjun said, and he said happily: "Tiedan, you have to accept what the second brother has to say with an open mind." ”

Zhang Tiedan just lowered his head slightly aggrieved and stopped talking, while Li Ergou picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Second brother, you said that the two of you are true, what is more true than my stupid brother, so that I, an outsider, look awkward, and I can't tell whether he is stupid or you are stupid." ”

Li Ergou smiled to himself and continued: "Come, should we give the second brother a drink, he is always worried about the three of us, we should always express it." ”

Zhang Jilai also hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said teasingly: "Ergouzi, do we have to have something to say about this glass of wine?"

Li Ergou looked at Zhang Ji puzzled and said, "What do you say? Didn't I say it just now, this is for our second brother." ”

Zhang Jilai pursed his lips and said: "That's not sincere enough, I think our brothers have gathered and separated and gathered, this fate is quite deep, why don't we take this opportunity to follow the example of the ancients to come to Taoyuan to marry or something, how meaningful it is." ”

Li Ergou pondered for a while, then rolled his eyes and said: "This proposal of the next brother is good, in my opinion, let's not make a blood alliance, let's just swear by wine, how about not being born on the same day and month of the same year, but dying on the same day of the same month, the same year?"

Zhang Jilai happily agreed: "Okay, good." ”

"What a fart!" Zhang Tiedan said faintly, "What are you two fooling around, as the so-called moon is cloudy and sunny, people have good and bad luck, how can you casually joke about life and death, besides, the second brother lives longer than us, so you can't be too selfish, let the second brother die with us short-lived ghosts, that would be too bad for life." ”

Zhang Jilai looked at Zhang Tiedan incredulously, wrinkled his brows and said, "Tiedan, you really impress me, you can actually say such a business-like thing." ”

Zhang Tiedan pouted embarrassedly and said, "That's what I mean, I'm just telling the truth." ”

Ding Fengjun laughed and said: "I said that you are both surnamed Zhang, why is there such a big difference? ”

Zhang Jilai was embarrassed to scratch his head when Ding Fengjun said this, Li Ergou didn't put down the wine glass for a long time, he hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Second brother, my hands are sore, can you do this glass of wine first and then chat." ”

Ding Fengjun picked up his wine glass with a smile and said, "Come on, let's raise a glass together and toast to tomorrow's work." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Ding Fengjun looked at Zhang Ji and said, "Next, what is Xinyi's due date?"

Zhang Jilai smiled shyly and said, "Roughly speaking, it's the second day of the Lunar New Year. ”

Ding Fengjun was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "This child's birthday is really big enough." ”

After a pause, Ding Fengjun said again: "There is a month difference between your child and my primary four, and we count it as the second day of December. ”

Zhang Jilai was shocked and said, "My sister-in-law is also pregnant?"

Ding Fengjun smiled helplessly and said, "She has to ask for another one, and I really can't resist her." ”

Zhang Jilai smiled evilly: "I think it's the second brother's idea, so it's okay if there is no boy in the family." ”

Ding Fengjun just smiled and didn't speak again, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Ding Fengjun's eyes released a kind of light under the light, very bright, as if there were tears melted in it, and the smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by the indelible sadness.

Sometimes Ding Fengjun is also very irritable, not because he only has a daughter, the main thing is the eyes of outsiders, Ding Fengjun prides himself on being an open-minded person, he can see everything, he also wants to go his own way, let others talk nonsense, but he doesn't understand, this traditional life is always occupied by traditional thoughts, and the consequence of this kind of thinking is too much gossip, like annoying flies, the old crowd buzzed in Ding Fengjun's ears, the more Ding Fengjun thought about it, the more lacking he became, he picked up the wine glass again, and drank the wine that Zhang Jilai had just poured for him, Li Ergou seemed to be sober and vague at this time: "Second brother, since both of you are happy, it is better to marry the child in advance, if your two families are a man and a woman, you will be husband and wife, if it is two men or two women, then be brothers or sisters, how about it?"

Li Ergou must drink a lot, and he must get drunk every time, and he is a little slurred when he speaks.

Ding Fengjunquan didn't hear what he said, but Zhang Jilai admitted it, and he said: "Brother Tiedan's proposal is good, I think it's okay." ”

"it!" Ding Fengjun said a little angrily, "The child's affairs are still decided by the child himself, except that he has no initiative at birth, I don't want to deprive him of other choice rights, otherwise they will become us again, and the same traditional way of life will only harm them." ”

Zhang Jilai hid the smile on his face and said thoughtfully: "The second brother really understands the righteousness, the teacher of the previous car and the lesson of the future car, we all have the same misfortune, how can we let the child have the same experience again." ”

Ding Fengjun patted Zhang Jilai on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Thank you, brother, for your understanding." ”

Zhang Jilai smiled slightly bitterly and changed the topic: "Second brother, will you go to work with us tomorrow?"

Ding Fengjun thought for a while and said: "I have also thought about this matter, I don't plan to go out again when I come back this time, after all, your sister-in-law is also pregnant, I can't let her suffer the days of worrying and being scared alone, I have to accompany her, even if I hide XC again, I want to accompany her, at least so that I can live with peace of mind." ”

Zhang Jilai nodded, he admired Ding Fengjun from the bottom of his heart, he dared to do it, he also thought about being a flesh-and-blood man like Ding Fengjun, but Zhang Jilai also understood that people's character cannot be changed, and innate cowardice and acquired cowardice are always different.

The next day, Ding Fengjun and Zhang Jilai met the foreman of the contractor under the leadership of his friend, the foreman was a man in his thirties and forties, not very tall, and there was no hair on his head, as if he had just been released from prison, but although this person looked sinister, the tone of his speech was seriously inconsistent with his appearance, and he spoke slowly.

"Have any of you ever done construction work in front of you?"

The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads consciously.

Ding Fengjun was worried that the contractor would refuse to accept them for this reason, so Ding Fengjun said thoughtfully: "We can be apprentices first." ”

The foreman of the contractor looked at Ding Fengjun twice and said, "Look at your body, what did you do before." ”

Ding Fengjun was afraid that Li Ergou would be open-mouthed and say something wrong, so he hurriedly agreed: "You have been working on the kiln before, and that is also manual work, so we can also try the work on this construction site." ”

The foreman nodded and said, "Okay, the four of you go to the overseer first, and let him take you to your respective masters, but I have to talk about it first, the salary of the apprentice is very low, 100 yuan a month." ”

"One hundred yuan?" Zhang Jilai was a little surprised, is this too little? Thinking that he was tired and tired in the factory for only 80 yuan a month, he didn't expect to be able to get so much here, the contractor looked at Zhang Jilai unhappily and said, "What, it's too little?"

Zhang Jilai waved his hand again and again, but he couldn't even speak excitedly, the contractor couldn't see what Zhang Jilai was trying to express, he said disdainfully: "When you become a master, I will give you a salary increase, apprentices are now at this price, if it's okay, I'll stay, if not, I won't force it to stay." ”

Ding Fengjun stepped forward and said, "Okay, let's do it." ”

After speaking, Ding Fengjun pulled Zhang Jilai to walk to the construction site with the supervisor, the supervisor is also a native of Yanggu, his family lives in the city, he is also a man in his thirties and forties, the appearance is quite white, if he is placed outside the construction site, no one will think that he is a working worker, it will definitely make people mistakenly think that he is the leader of which department, in fact, the supervisor is also a leader on the construction site, he is responsible for the acceptance of the quality of the project, in this era, the work area is divided into responsibilities to the individual, who builds which wall, will write their names under this wall in advance, so that in the acceptance process can also quickly find the responsible person, the acceptance is happy, if the acceptance does not pass, you need to re-trim the non-conforming areas until they are qualified.

Later, Ding Fengjun heard from the workers that the meaning of this name was probably that Wang Tian's father was a farmer, and he worked hard all his life to make a living from farming, and the crops harvested in spring and autumn every year were more than him, and he wanted his son to be able to inherit his excellent quality, so he named Wang Tian, which means the king of the field.

Wang Tian is a person who is not very good at words, he took Ding Fengjun and the four of them to the construction site, silent, most of them were Ding Fengjun asked him a sentence before he would reply, and in the end, Wang Tian finally took the initiative to say a word.

"Work here and talk as little as possible, whether you are a newcomer or an apprentice, see more and learn more before you can become a teacher. ”

Ding Fengjun just smiled and didn't refute, because Ding Fengjun was afraid that he would make Wang Tian silent if he retorted, in Ding Fengjun's heart, what Wang Tian said was not comprehensive, Ding Fengjun used to be an apprentice, no matter where he worked, he could only build a relationship by talking more, and the premise of seeing and learning more must be to ask more, if there is no such premise, no one will take the initiative to teach you.

In this era, most of the construction sites are mainly built factories, and there are few contractors who contract buildings, mainly because the requirements for buildings are too high, and the construction period is long, and the contractors need relationships and money.

Wang Tian handed over the four people to the two masters, the main Wang Tian is afraid that one person will not be able to deal with it, after all, these two are up to more than ten years of masters, they have rich experience in work, hands and feet are nimble, and both people are very easy to lose their temper when they lack ash and less material, so Wang Tian divided the four people into two groups, respectively, two people, these two people are from the same village, both surnamed Tang, everyone is used to calling them Lao Tang, the older ones are called Da Lao Tang, the younger ones are called Xiao Lao Tang, Ding Fengjun and Zhang Jilai are divided into the hands of Da Lao Tang.

Anyway, no matter what, as long as there is work to do, Zhang Jilai is very happy to work here, when he thinks that he can get 100 yuan at the end of the month, he is like being beaten with chicken blood, and he is very excited to work, he is thinking that if he tells Luo Xinyi the news, she must be very happy.

Zhang Jilai was happily working the construction site, while Luo Xinyi was suffering verbal torture at home.

Li Su'e is not a fool, how could she possibly assume the obligation to support Luo Wenyu, how can it be said that Luo Wenyu is also a person with a daughter, even his daughter does not support him, and he Li Su'e will not be so kind as to give kindness everywhere.

In the face of Li Su'e's sudden visit, Luo Xinyi was tepid.

"Cousin, I can't entertain you when I can't see with my eyes, there is water in the kettle next to the table, you can pour it yourself." ”

Li Su'e smiled, she took Luo Xinyi's hand, and said with a little concern: "My stupid niece, what are you talking about, do we still need to be so polite." ”

Luo Xinyi pursed her lips and said with a symbolic smile: "Is there something wrong with my cousin's visit this time?"

Li Su'e said reproachfully: "Why, my cousin can't come to see you if there's nothing to do?"

Luo Xinyi hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I ......"

Li Su'e interrupted Luo Xinyi with a smile and said, "Okay, my cousin knows what you mean, it's just a joke with you, it's not that my cousin heard your father say that your father said that you are blind, I came here to take a look." ”

As she spoke, Li Su'e stroked Luo Xinyi's face with her hand, and continued with a sad expression: "Alas, my poor niece, your life is really bitter, you are greedy for such a poor man and because he is blind from crying, how do you say you will live in the future." ”

Luo Xinyi forced out a smile and said, "How did you live before, it's still the same in the future." ”

"How can it be called the same? Li Su'e said a little angrily, "In the past, you were young and had no children, so you could wronged yourself as much as you wanted, but in the future, if you have children, you will have to grieve your children, besides, your father is also old, and you can't take care of it." ”

As soon as she heard Li Su'e mention Luo Wenyu, Luo Xinyi was a little excited, and said impatiently: "I don't have a father, and I won't care about him!"

Li Su'e was stunned for a moment, and said with some complaint: "You kid, why are you talking like this, my cousin is not your father?"

Luo Xinyi said with a firm gaze: "He's not my father!"
