The June sun scorched the earth like a furnace, and even the many mouthfuls of the trees hid in the leaves to rest.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, people came out of a makeshift house made of wooden planks on a construction site. They were all middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, their skin was tanned, the muscles on their arms were bulging, and they wore a towel on their shoulders to wipe their sweat, and they were very shabby. They are all migrant workers who have come to the city to eat.

These migrant workers rubbed their newly awakened eyes as they walked, yawning, and lazily.

"Damn, it's too hot this day, it hasn't rained for half a month, I don't know if there is still water in the rice field at home." A migrant worker in his forties raised his head and squinted at the dazzling sun in the sky, and said to the people around him.

"Alas! If it is so sunny for half a month, the seedlings at home will die, and the hard work of half a year this year will be in vain. A migrant worker said.

……

When everyone arrived at the construction site, they sat or stood, took out the cheap cigarettes in their pockets and smoked them.

Not long after the construction site started, the excavator that called over to dig the foundation drove away this morning, and a pile of soil was piled up on the construction site like a small hillside.

"Alright, let's get started!" Seeing that everyone had finished smoking their cigarettes, the foreman slapped his hands and said loudly.

The foreman was a man in his forties and fifties, and at first glance he was the kind of simple and honest person.

"Hey, where is that kid Zhou Xing? Didn't you wake him up? The foreman glanced at the crowd and didn't find Zhou Xing's ghost, and asked.

"We called, and he said he would come out." Several people said in unison.

Zhou Tongfa, the foreman of the contractor, glanced at these people and said: "It's not the first day you know this kid, he said that he will come out later, and eighty percent will come out after sleeping, which of you will quickly call that kid, if he refuses to get up, kick his ass a few times......"

Several people laughed, and one of them said, "I'll call him." ”

After a while, a young man in his twenties walked out of the temporary house made of wooden planks with a lazy waist and a yawn, and this person was none other than Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing wore a long-sleeved shirt, a worn-out straw hat, and a pair of very old slippers. The reason why Zhou Xing was wearing a long sleeve was because he was afraid that the sun would be too poisonous and tan his arms too dark, so wouldn't he become a, where could he still attract the attention of beautiful women.

Zhou Xing's skin is healthy and wheat, which is caused by frequent work in the sun. Zhou Xing looks very ordinary, and belongs to the kind of person who is thrown in the crowd, and others will take one look at it at most, but not at a second glance.

"Oops! I'm so sleepy! Zhou Xing yawned and came to the middle of the group, found a place to sit down, took out a white sand cigarette and lit it, swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

"Hey, Zhou Xing, you kid came back so late last night, and you didn't have any fun today, what did you do last night?"

"yes, yes! We are the only one here who has not married a wife, and you are the most dishonest kid, hurry up and explain, did you do something bad last night? Zhou Qiang patted Zhou Yu's shoulder with a wicked smile on his face.

"What else can this kid do? It must be a girl who is going to harm someone's family. ”

These migrant workers are all from the same village as Zhou Xing, they are all family people, and they are reluctant to let their wives and children go out to work, but follow the contractor Zhou Tongfa to the county seat to engage in construction. One is to make money, and the other is to take care of the family.

Because it's a village, the relationship between everyone is very good, and joking is commonplace.

Zhou Xing's parents died in a car accident when he was ten years old, and he was raised by his grandfather, Nǎinǎi. The two old men are getting older, and they are more fond of Zhou Xing, so Zhou Xing is naughty and doesn't like to study.

After graduating from high school, he was not admitted to university, and Zhou Xing became a jobless vagrant. Later, at the behest of his grandfather Nǎinǎi, Zhou Xing started with an electrician in the same village, and finally learned a craft, which can be regarded as a skilled craftsman.

Zhou Xing is now working on this construction site as a plumber and a small worker carrying cement and bricks.

For everyone's jokes, Zhou Xing is accustomed to it. Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this will ruin my reputation." What if I can't marry a wife in the future? Don't blame me for having a wife with you. ”

The people on the construction site laughed, "It's best if you can't marry a wife, so you don't have to harm other people's girls, haha......"

"Hey! Uncle, didn't I touch your daughter's hand last time? Don't curse me like that! Besides, your daughter willingly let me touch it that time. Zhou Xing said with a smile.

"Fart, isn't it your kid who lied to my daughter that you would read palmistry, can my son and daughter let you touch your hand?"

……

"Okay, okay, let's start, let's get started." Zhou Tongfa, the foreman of the contractor, said to everyone.

Everyone picked up hoes, shovels and other tools and walked to the construction site.

"Zhou Xing! You'll go over there and dig a little bit further forward in that place. Zhou Tongfa walked to Zhou Xing's side and said.

"yes, okay." Zhou Xing nodded and said.

Zhou Tong said to Zhou Xing earnestly: "Zhou Xing! A little less net in the future. You see, it's not easy for us to earn this money on this hot day, and it's not worth spending it on the Internet. What's more, your parents are no longer here now, and your grandfather is also old, so you can't spend your money indiscriminately, you know? ”

Hanging Langdang is just a superficial phenomenon of Zhou Xing, but in fact, in his heart, Zhou Xing understands all these truths. His parents are gone, and his grandfather needs to support his old age when he is old. Therefore, Zhou Xing did not spend a penny indiscriminately.

These days, the reason why Zhou Xing often goes to Internet cafes to surf the Internet is to learn about water and electricity, and on the other hand, he meets a netizen named "Blue Sky" on the Internet, and the two chat very speculatively.

Zhou Xing nodded heavily and said, "Got it, uncle." ”

Zhou Xing carried the hoe and shovel to the place Zhou Tongfa said, first threw the hoe and shovel into the dug foundation, and then jumped down.

Picking up the hoe, Zhou Xing began to work.

After digging for less than a while, Zhou Xing was already sweating profusely, and his clothes were already soaked.

"Nǎinǎi, it's so fucking hot." Zhou Xing wiped the sweat on his face with the towel on his shoulder, and then raised his hoe and dug down.

"Bang!" Zhou Xing's hoe seemed to be digging into the stone, and the rebounding force shook Zhou Xing's mouth through the hoe stick.

"Damn, why are you so unlucky, digging up stones again." Zhou Xing looked at the hoe, and the front was bent.

Zhou Xing didn't dare to dig vigorously now, and after carefully digging out the surrounding soil, he didn't see any big stones, nothing! Zhou Xing felt strange, he had obviously dug up a very hard thing, wasn't it a stone? It's a gold brick! Damn, that's going to be developed.

Zhou Xing's whimsical thoughts, the more he wanted to know what he had just dug up. Zhou Xing slowly dug up the soil in front of him little by little, and that thing finally revealed the true face of Lushan.
