Chapter 1: Picking up a coin
Zhou Jie is an orphan who has lived in Xiangjiang City since he was a child, barely making ends meet.
On this day, the construction site needed to dig the foundation, and the contractor Zhou Haibao called him over again.
"Zhou Jie, you and Wang Qiang are digging here, I'll come when I go!"
This is a sentence that Zhou Haibao often says, he is now a contractor, he doesn't want to work, he often just comes when he goes, at least wait for half a day, and it won't appear until noon.
"Wang Qiang, I haven't worked for the past few days, what are you doing, are you going to get out with your sister?" Zhou Jie asked with a smile while digging hard.
Doing such physical work, time will pass a little faster if you make a few jokes, Zhou Jie sometimes has a bad mouth.
"Fuck your dead Zhou Jie, you just got out with your sister!"
Wang Qiang's face turned red, she does have a sister, only 17 years old, if she wants to be more watery, she will be more watery, compared with Wang Qiang's naivety, it is like she was not born by a parent.
"Lao Tzu has no sister, and if he has a sister, Lao Tzu will get out, hahaha......"
"Laughing fart, you have the ability to try to roll all the women in Xiangjiang City!"
Wang Qiang was also merciless in his mouth, but he made a mistake and did not exclude the women in his own family, which was just caught by Zhou Jie.
"Okay, okay, remember to ask your sister to wash her name tonight, so let's start with her!"
"Why did you get involved with my sister again, you are an immortal!" Wang Qiang takes his sister very seriously, and Zhou Jie always takes advantage of his sister the most.
"Go ahead, we don't know my ancestors, remember to tell me after speaking, let me know each other!" Zhou Jie has been mixed in society since he was a child, and his face is also quite thick.
Wang Qiang was silent, he couldn't scold Zhou Jie, Zhou Jie did a single trunk, and he couldn't get anything to do with him, and it was ineffective for him.
"Your sister is here!"
"Your sister is ......" Thinking that Zhou Jie was provoking him again, Wang Qiang just wanted to be angry, raised his head, and found that his sister was really here.
"Sister, you, why are you here, is there something wrong?" Wang Qiang's face turned red.
Wang Yan is in her second year of high school, and she is the only high school student among the children of migrant workers in this area, the pearl of her parents' palms, and the capital that her parents bragged about, but Wang Yan didn't pay much attention to Zhou Jie, she thought Zhou Jie was too bad to speak, and always joked about his brother.
This girl is very tall and tall, and her skin is relatively white, compared with Wang Qiang's short lump of black charcoal, it is simply a world of difference, I really doubt that his wife is fake.
"Brother, Mom told you to go back!" Wang Yan spoke, her voice was very sweet, she rarely spoke in the migrant worker compound.
Zhou Jie continued to dig his foundation, his eyes glancing over there from time to time.
"Tell me to go back? I'm busy right here! Wang Qiang scratched his head and immediately left a few yellow mud marks on his head.
"I'll be back soon, go back first, Mom has something to tell you!" Wang Yan was a little mysterious when she spoke.
"What the hell is going on?" Wang Qiang didn't want to be deducted from his salary, although it was hard, but he still counted on the money to marry a wife.
"You'll know when you go back, it's a good thing to be sure, hurry up!" Wang Yan stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Qiang.
It's good to have a sister, watching Wang Yan hold Wang Qiang's black fat hand, Zhou Jie's heart has a strong sourness, and he sighs that even a fool like Wang Qiang has a sister who hurts, but he has nothing, and the orphan is bitter.
"Zhou Jie, Uncle Haibao is here, remember to say that I am on the tuba, don't say that I am going home!" Wang Qiang put down the hoe and said to Zhou Jie.
"Go, go, go back!" Zhou Jie dug the soil and said with a sour taste.
"You dead Zhou Jie!" Wang Qiang made a gesture to pick up clods of soil and beat people.
Zhou Jie hurriedly said: "Let's fight, let's fight, I'll tell Haibao when I'm done, saying that you are lazy when you go home!" As he spoke, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense, otherwise the brothers won't have to do it!" Wang Qiang threw away the clods, turned around and left with his sister.
Looking at Wang Yan's back, Zhou Jie's saliva swallowed and swallowed, thinking that it would be good if he could marry such a wife.
was digging the soil, and suddenly there was a sound of "dangchang" on the hoe, thinking that he had dug up the stone again, Zhou Jie didn't care, and when he turned over the soil, a round thing was revealed.
What is this? Zhou Jie picked up the round thing and cleaned the soil outside, only then did he see that it was an ancient coin.
This ancient coin is different from ordinary ancient coins, although this ancient coin is about the same size as ordinary copper coins.
But there is no text on it, in the middle of the coin is a round hole, around the round hole, one side is a flying dragon-shaped pattern, on the other side is a flying phoenix-shaped pattern, there is a dragon and phoenix auspicious taste.
Thinking that this thing might be exchanged for a few dollars, Zhou Jie put the coins in his trouser pocket, and then continued to dig the soil.
The weather was hot in summer, there was no cloud in the sky at this time, the sun was shining fiercely, Zhou Jie was sweating like rain, busy like a cow.
After a tiring day, after eating at the construction site in the evening, Zhou Jie walked towards the migrant workers' compound.
The migrant workers' compound is an old house waiting to be demolished in Xiangjiang City, and it is inhabited by migrant workers who sell coolies in this area, and Zhou Jie also rents an underground garage there to live in, asking 100 yuan a month.
On a hot night in the city, the streets were full of fashionable men and women, walking into those entertainment places on the side of the road one by one, but Zhou Jie only had the right to watch, and he was not qualified to enter those high-end places.
"Well, it stinks!"
Back in the underground garage, Zhou Jie suddenly smelled a smell of sweat, it turned out that he had been dry for an afternoon during the day, and his clothes had already smelled of sweat, and there was no tap water installed in this small garage, so it was really troublesome to take a bath.
simply went to the river to take a bath, thinking of this, Zhou Jie took off his clothes and pants and threw them on the wooden bed in the corner.
"When the long ......" there was a sound of metal falling.
"Well, what's that?" Zhou Jie stretched out his hand to turn on the light, and the yellowish incandescent light in the room lit up.
Zhou Jie squatted down and took a look, it turned out that the ancient coin he dug up during the day fell out.
Zhou Jie picked up the ancient coin and rubbed it on the shorts on his body, and under the illumination of the incandescent lamp, the coin reflected a faint blue and yellow light.
