"Big brother, I finally found you, I worked so hard to find you, I finally found it today."

Wu Jinlong was not admitted to middle school like Liu Shiyuan, but followed the older villagers to work hard in a strange city, not so much to work hard as to sell coolies, to move bricks on the construction site, learn some crafts, learn some bricklayers, carpentry, masonry, welders and other crafts.

Wu Jinlong is a reinforcing steel worker who went to school on the construction site, although this reinforcing steel worker makes a lot of money, but he has no great future as a reinforcing steel worker all his life. Moreover, this reinforcing steel worker is following the contractor on the construction site, where there is work, he will go there, it can be said that he goes there, the work is unstable, and it is an industry that eats young food.

If you get married and have children in the future, you have to leave your family and business to do it, speaking of which, this is all helplessness in life, and it is always full of cooperation.

"Oh, come inside the house." Liu Shiyuan looked at Wu Jinlong's clothes that he was wearing newly bought, but if he looked closely, the quality was not high-end, he was just bought at a stall.

Wu Jinlong entered the house and looked very restrained, because he lived in the shed every day, and suddenly appeared in such a clean home, which was a little uncomfortable. From the first time he saw Liu Shiyuan, he knew that he seemed to have a distance from him, he was not the kind of person who liked to deal with people who were wealthier, because he felt that he could not talk about it without the same identity, and he could not be friends.

Maybe this is the last time he enters Liu Shiyuan's house, he is just worried that Liu Shiyuan spent 300 yuan to take a three-day vacation from the construction site, he just wants to take a look.

"What do you think? So fascinated, I didn't expect you kid to be really good, how are you doing? Liu Shiyuan saw Wu Jinlong come in, and he had been sitting on the sofa quietly thinking about something, and said while holding a water cup.

"I'm relieved to see that you're okay, I'm still learning rebar workers with my master and them on the construction site, and when I learn it, I'll do a little bit of work like them, I think it's good." Wu Jinlong said a little unnaturally.

Maybe he has an inferiority complex in his heart, Liu Shiyuan thought in his heart.

In the past, they played together, got into trouble together, and peeked at the little girl taking a bath together, but now he actually saw strangeness in Wu Jinlong's eyes.

"Jin Long, listen to my brother's words, don't do it anymore, this kind of work is really not suitable for you, do you really want to be on the construction site for the rest of your life? There is really no future there, although the money you make there is really not small, but who wants to marry you now? You do this, you are not at home all the year round, who wants to be alone in the empty room now? You're still young, and I think you shouldn't just focus on the immediate benefits, we should start with the long-term benefits, and the first thing you have to do is quit your current job, go back to school, and continue your studies. Seeing his good friends in the past, Liu Shiyuan gave him a good way.

But Wu Jinlong didn't think so, he felt that Liu Shiyuan just looked down on people like them, and he still knew that Liu Shiyuan had become a big writer.

"Big brother, I know that you are now a great writer and look down on us migrant workers, but we are also contributing to the country, we don't steal from others, we don't rob others, we do things with my hands, what's wrong with me? Yes, a lot of people look down on us people, but I don't think it's anything, probably we're not in the same circle, so our concept is different, I think I'm fine now. Speaking of this, Wu Jinlong said with some excitement, he really didn't expect that his good brother who had played since childhood would become such a person, looking down on his background as a steel worker, and looking down on them as workers struggling on the front line of production.

"Jin Long, you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't mean that, I mean you shouldn't enter the society so early, you should be the time to study now, if you don't have money at home, I'll lend you, I recently opened a newspaper, I need a lot of people, if you really don't want to go to middle school to study, then you can go to my newspaper to help, I will give you three thousand yuan a month, but you must promise me a condition, that is, you must apply for night school, study in night school. I know the pay here is certainly not as much as yours, but it's better to be clean, easy to find, and honestly, this job is decent, right? Liu Shiyuan seemed very sincere.

Wu Jinlong did not object, it seems that he really realized that he had misunderstood Liu Shiyuan's meaning.

Don't look at the big truths he said, others agree with them on the surface, but in their hearts, many people look down on this profession, including himself.

But there is no way, he has now blended into it. He felt that he really couldn't do the work of the newspaper, and he still did his original job.

"I know what you think, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it at the newspaper, but I won't let you do anything else in the first half of the year, just let you do some trivial things in the newspaper, such as getting some water for others, sweeping the floor, tidying up your desk, and in the second half of the year, you will see which job you can do." Liu Shiyuan had already seen that he was unwilling to challenge a new environment, so he said.

Seeing that Wu Jinlong was still like that, he said again: "Let me tell you clearly, the main reason I let you go to my newspaper is not to let you do any work, but mainly to let you monitor the every move of the employees there, if there is anything that needs to be improved in their work, help me take care of the newspaper, this should not be difficult." You know, I don't have any relatives here, it's not easy to be a newspaper, if I am really deceived, I guess I will not turn over in this life. ”

"Well, anyway, I don't want to be a steel worker from the bottom of my heart, and it has always been my dream to be a white-collar worker. But if I really can't do well, I'm going to go back to my old job. Wu Jinlong finally relented.

"Okay, I'm sure you can do a good job here, let's play together since childhood, I know your abilities best. Let's go to the tavern for a drink, it's been a long time since we've seen us catch up. Liu Shiyuan said with a smile.

It's not that he has a strong sense of sympathy, after all, this Wu Jinlong is his only good brother, and now he has this ability, he can't help but pull him.

"Big brother, you also said, since I was a child, I thought you would have a big future, do you remember one time, we played a game called peek-a-boo, many people leaked, only you didn't leak, we found an hour's time, and finally the cartoon time came, we all went to your house to watch TV, and saw that you had finished eating, sitting on a stool and drinking milk while watching TV." Wu Jinlong also let go and said. From Liu Shiyuan's tone, he felt that he had not changed, and he was still the eldest brother who played together back then.

"Hehe, how long has it been since you remember?"

"Of course, after all, each of us has an unforgettable childhood, isn't it?"

While they were talking, the security door rang.

Liu Xue'er and Liu Yu'er are back.

"Ah, Brother Jinlong, when did you come? Aren't you in the county seat? How did you get here? Liu Yuer said in surprise.

"Yes, I mainly look at the eldest brother, I heard in the county town that the eldest brother was bullied here." Wu Jinlong only explained his intention at this time.

"Where did you hear that?" Liu Shiyuan said with a frown.

He was very strange, he didn't tell anyone about this, how did Wu Jinlong hear about it there?

"Big brother, don't you know, every house in the house is now equipped with cable TV, and we no longer have to watch only our Ami program in Qi County, the signal is not good. This is not expensive, more than 100 yuan a year. I just saw you on TV, who in our village doesn't know that you are now a great writer, you write well, and you have been compiled into textbooks, and you have now been said by the older generation in our village to become a literary star in the sky. Let's just say that Secretary Liu, the most literate secretary in our village, praised you, he said that even he can't study your article thoroughly, and many people have read the famous short story you wrote. Wu Jinlong said triumphantly, since he was a child, other children have played with strong big children, but he has always played with his eldest brother with his unique vision.

He was very willing to work at the newspaper and night school at night, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it himself.

If he called the family, his father would be very happy, because his father's dream since childhood was to be a literate writer, and the newspaper is infinitely close to his father's dream.

I still remember that when he dropped out of school, his father beat him with a broom and scolded him, he just didn't go to school. In the end, I sneaked to the construction site with my partner.

Later, he heard his mother say that his father was still seriously ill after he left, in fact, he heard others say that his father was the best at that time when he was young, but because the family did not have too much money for him to study, he had no choice but to drop out of school at home, in fact, it was not a dropout at that time, because in his era, people who had not studied abounded, not to mention that his father was in junior high school.

After Liu Shiyuan heard these words, he smacked his tongue a little and said: "So everyone in our family knows that I write articles, and they all know that I don't study anymore?" ”

"yes, everybody knows." Wu Jinlong said with some doubts.

"My parents already know?" He asked.

"They're all happy to know. What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Wu Jinlong asked again.
