Although he hates to do this kind of tasteless and classless thing, he has to work hard day and night for money, even if he is tired from working overtime and has a sore back, he can't support it, and when he wakes up the next day and eats porridge and steamed buns, he has to continue to do it, just like the mixer next to him. Because of working in the open air every day, the original white face of the Chinese character was quickly tanned, the hands that were used to holding a pen and hitting the keyboard also grinded a thick layer of calluses, and the clothes were simple and shabby, and the whole person looked no different from a migrant worker with no education or knowledge. The only thing that made him feel relieved was that his body became stronger and stronger, and his hands became more and more powerful, sweeping away the weak scholarly appearance of the past.

At this time, he subconsciously looked down at his muscular protruding arm, and smiled slightly, and the smile revealed not a strong and powerful pride, but a bitter smile and helplessness full of self-deprecation. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, thinking that he didn't know when he would be able to get rid of this torturous drudgery and do what he had ever dreamed of doing. Of course, he didn't look down on what he did, and he didn't discriminate against the type of work, but he just felt that it was a great waste for a high-achieving student majoring in economics and trade to do such a simple job, and more importantly, he couldn't see any hope and future. For a young man with a big heart, this is indeed too depressing, too painful. He has always wanted to spread his wings and soar in the vast sky like an eagle, but reality has firmly imprisoned him in this half-finished complex of towering buildings, and the opposition between ideal and reality makes him extremely painful and depressed, and sometimes he really wants to yell at the sky like crazy, and he really wants to hide in a corner of the city and cry bitterly, so that he can vent the depression and pain accumulated in his chest happily. However, he could not do so because such behavior was extremely inconsistent with a psychologically strong man. So, he suppressed the pain in his heart, and did this dirty and tiring drudgery day after day, so that he could receive more than 2,000 yuan at the beginning of each month.

What kind of day is this? What kind of sinking is this? He secretly questioned himself in his heart, but the shovel in his hand threw sand and stones into the mixer faster and faster, as if he was crazy, and the sweat of the bean was flowing on his red face, and then drifted in the sand and gravel with the wind. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he worked like crazy, so that the pain in his heart could be diluted by overwork, so that his soul could be at peace. It had become an inherent way for him to vent his frustration and pain, a habit, and even the co-workers who worked with him understood it and understood him doing so.

No, Lao Xu, a migrant worker who has the best relationship with Liu Xiangyu, saw it, so he patted the cement stuck to the work clothes with one hand, and walked slowly from the opposite side. When he came to Liu Xiangyu, he squinted his small eyes, tilted his head slightly, and looked at each other with a smile, his expression seemed to be pondering something, and it looked like he was nothing. After a while, he laughed and said:

"Xiaoyanagi, are you unhappy again when you do it like this?"

Liu Xiangyu heard Lao Xu's voice, so he suddenly stopped his hand, put the shovel on the sand, raised his eyes to look at the tall, thin and gray-haired Lao Xu, squeezed out a smile and said:

"There's nothing unpleasant, I just want to work hard and not be scolded by any supervisor."

"Really?" Lao Xu stared at Liu Xiangyu and said, "Xiaoliu, don't tell lies, I don't know you yet!" Is it also a college student who does this kind of rough work all day long, can you be happy? ”

"What if you're not happy, you have to do it!" Liu Xiangyu smiled bitterly, took out a cigarette into his trouser pocket as he spoke, took out a pack of inferior cigarettes, took out two, and handed one to Lao Xu, "Come, Uncle Xu, smoke a cigarette to relieve fatigue." This cigarette is a little worse, don't dislike it. ”

Liu Xiangyu smiled embarrassedly as he spoke, and then stuffed another cigarette into his mouth.

"Don't say that, I don't eat as well as your cigarettes, thank you." Lao Xu smiled honestly, then reached out and took out a lighter from his trouser pocket, crackled the fire, lit a cigarette for the other party first, and then lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, spit out the smoke again, and said with regret, "Xiaoyanagi, it's a pity for you." ”

"What's the pity, now that college students can't find a job, I can still have a job to do, I can earn money to support myself, I should be content." Liu Xiangyu said as if he was self-deprecating.

"What kind of work is this, I can't earn a lot of money if I'm tired and tired." Lao Xu frowned, took a puff of cigarette, sighed and said, "If you are an uneducated farmer like me, just accept your fate, but if you are a college student, or a high-achieving student from a key university, then you can't be so mixed, you have to find a decent and easy job, and you will be rich and expensive in the future." ”

"I want to, too, but it's too hard to find a job right now, so that's all I have to say." Liu Xiangyu twisted two heroic sword eyebrows, and said with a wry smile, "This job is dirty, tired and tired, you may earn money to support yourself, and you can send some money to your family." Uncle Xu, you also know more or less about the situation in my family, and my father is waiting for me to take medicine to treat his illness. If I quit and I can't find a job for ten days and a half, where will I get the money to treat my father's illness? ”

"You're such a filial child!" Lao Xu praised sincerely, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "But I also know that if your father knows that you make money by doing this hard work, he will scold you for being unlucky, and your mother will feel sorry for you to death, is this what you college students can do!" ”

"My parents won't know!" Liu Xiangyu whispered softly and smiled embarrassedly.

"You lied to your parents, I know that." Lao Xu smiled understandingly, silently, and said earnestly, "Xiaoliu, listen to Uncle Xu's words, let's find a good job." As the saying goes, water flows low, and people go high. ”

"Thank you Uncle Xu for your teaching, I'll look for it when the opportunity comes." Liu Xiangyu replied.

"The opportunity is not to wait, but to find it yourself, you should know this better than me." Lao Xu said with a straight face, "Xiaoliu, when I say this, it's all for your good." ”

"I know this, thank you Uncle Xu for caring about me so much." Liu Xiangyu said movingly, "It's really my blessing that I can meet such a good person as Uncle Xu here." ”

"Don't say kind words, let's hurry up and find a good job." Lao Xu said with a smile.

Liu Xiangyu felt that Lao Xu's words made sense, so he changed his mind and nodded and replied:

"What Uncle Xu said is that I should try it and see how my luck is."

"It's good that you can think like this, it seems that my hard persuasion to you really works." Lao Xu grinned, reached out and patted Liu Xiangyu's shoulder, and said in a loud voice, "Okay, Xiaoliu, you are a big thing, and you will definitely have a chance when the time comes." ”

"Thank you Uncle Xu for your encouragement!" Liu Xiangyu said sincerely, and then said with little confidence, "However, it is really difficult to find a job now, and I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty again." If that happens, I won't have the money to send home. ”

"Otherwise, don't quit your job in a hurry, just take the time to look for it outside." Lao Xu groaned for a while, and came up with an idea, "It's good to earn money and find a job in this way." ”

"That's what I thought too." Liu Xiangyu stretched his brows and smiled, "Okay, that's it." ”

"Okay, Xiaoliu, Uncle Xu wishes you good luck, you can find a good job right away, and you will soar in the future." Lao Xu lightly hit Liu Xiangyu's broad and thick chest with his fist, laughed, and said confidently, "Uncle Xu believes that you will definitely be able to find a good job, no problem." ”

Liu Xiangyu was grateful to Lao Xu for his encouragement and care in his heart, in this unfamiliar place, to get such a sincere friendship from a foreigner, he couldn't help but feel a strong warmth in his heart, and felt a simple and deep love.
