Chapter 48: Wandering
When Xuemei and Zuo Jun survived the long night of cold and damp, they finally ushered in a new round of sunrise, and they were sleepy at this time, they hugged each other, curled up in a quilt, and fell asleep with each other's warmth...
"Knock knock..."
A quick knock woke them up, Xuemei immediately sat up, she heard the knock on the door was quite steady, and her heart was a little calmer, she was afraid that those migrant workers would come to the door again.
When Xuemei got out of bed and opened the door, she saw a middle-aged woman standing outside the door, dressed as a rural person, like a nearby farmer.
"Auntie, who are you looking for?" Xuemei asked in surprise.
The middle-aged woman was also stunned when she saw that it was a beautiful girl who opened the door for her, and she carefully looked at Xuemei a few times before replying: "I am the landlord of this house, may I ask who you are Lao Zhang?" ”
As soon as Xuemei heard that it was the landlord, she hurriedly laughed and said, "Hello Auntie! We are Lao Zhang's colleagues, and we used to work together on the construction site, but now the construction site is out of work and we can't live anymore, so Lao Zhang arranged for us to live here for the time being. ”
Xuemei saw that the landlady couldn't help but look into the room at Zuo Jun, who was still lying on the bed with his head covered, so she quickly explained: "He is my object, and we are a family." ”
The landlady saw that Xuemei was not only beautiful, but also gentle and kind, and her vigilance was completely dispelled, so she said: "I saw the lights on in this house last night, and I felt strange, Lao Zhang didn't come to live for half a year, it's almost the New Year, why did you come to live?" Besides, it's a cold winter, and the house is not warm, how cold it should be! ”
After listening to the landlady's words, Xuemei deeply realized that she relied on hugging each other with Zuo Jun to keep warm this night, and at this time, she couldn't help but sneeze when the cool breeze blew outside.
Seeing this, the landlady asked, "How long are you going to live in this house?" ”
"Auntie, we don't know what to do, we don't have anywhere else to live..."
Xuemei replied in a deep voice, and besides, she was a little speechless.
The landlord couldn't help frowning, and she asked again, "You must not have received your salary, right?" ”
Xuemei nodded, and she asked in surprise, "How do you know about the Dao?" ”
"Alas, after Lao Zhang rented this house, the rent has been not very happy, he said every time that the construction site boss was in arrears of wages, I just looked at the situation of the two of you, and I guessed that the heart of the current contractor is black, always defrauding our farmers of their hard-earned money, some time ago, there was a migrant worker because he couldn't get paid, jumped off the building at the construction site? It's miserable! ”
Zuo Jun was so swollen that his face was so swollen that he was embarrassed to let the landlady see his miserable appearance, so he didn't show up with his head covered, but the landlady's words were like a knife, cutting his heart, and he thought of his current situation, and he also felt that life was worse than death, fortunately, he still had Xuemei by his side, and he could still support his spiritual world.
Xuemei was also shocked, her eyes were red and she said, "Yes! Those black-hearted bosses have made us all miserable! ”
The landlady was a warm-hearted woman, and when she saw Xuemei living in a house like a cold kiln, she couldn't bear it, so she asked, "Aren't you going home for the New Year?" ”
"No!"
Xuemei shook her head again and again: "It's too far away from home, and we don't have the money to go home." ”
"Then you two are in this house for the New Year, it's really bitter, at least you have to have heat!"
Listening to the landlady's words, Xuemei hung her head and was silent, where do they have the money to buy stoves and coal now?
The landlady couldn't help but sigh, and she said, "You can go to the backyard with me later, I still have a small stove at home that I don't use, and there are honeycomb coals, you bring the stove, and then bring some honeycomb coal, the stove is free for you to use, and you can burn as many pieces of honeycomb coal, and pay me according to the original price." ”
"Really? Thank you so much! Xuemei said infinitely grateful.
As soon as the landlady left, Zuo Jun immediately sat up, and he whispered to Xuemei: "You go out of the house to help me buy a pair of masks, and I will go to the landlord's house to move the stove and coal." ”
Xuemei looked back at him, and then said, "You are not lightly injured, so you should take care of it with peace of mind!" I can do this myself. ”
"Well, then you'll have to let me out! How can I go out of my way to meet people? ”
Xuemei went out to find a commissary, and sure enough, she bought a pair of masks.
Zuo Jun has a mask, so he can cover the wounds on his face, although the wounds on his body are still painful, but he endured to help Xuemei go to the backyard landlord's house to move a small stove, and also brought a few cigarette tubes, after the two of them put the small stove in the small house and placed it, Xuemei moved a few pieces of honeycomb coal from the landlord's house and sandwiched a piece of burning honeycomb coal, after a while, their hut finally got a little hot, Xuemei also borrowed the landlord's kettle, boiled a little hot water, and they finally drank a mouthful of hot water.
Xuemei still used the little money left on her body to buy some painkillers and anti-inflammatory tablets for Zuo Jun, so that Zuo Jun could be as comfortable as possible.
"I wonder how the construction site is now?"
Xuemei had no intention of saying this, but Zuo Jun heard it with mixed feelings, the construction site for which he had fought and struggled for many days could no longer tolerate him, he was now like a lost dog and was almost cornered, this may be his fate, but seeing his beloved girl accompany him to be frightened and suffer, Zuo Jun was even more sad.
He lay on the bed and wept, he couldn't help but be embarrassed when he recalled the terrifying journey that Xuemei had followed him along the way.
"My Zuo Jun is a hard-working person, why should I let Xuemei accompany me to suffer this crime?"
"I can't give my most beloved girl a minimum of happiness and security, am I still a man?"
"Since I can't give her anything, why do I still bully her?"
"Zuo Jun, if you are still a man, don't be too selfish, Xuemei has the right to enjoy a comfortable and happy life..."
Zuo Jun was lying on the bed, constantly thinking crankily...
Xuemei didn't know what Lu Dao Zuo Jun was thinking, but she knew that Lu Dao Zuo Jun felt uncomfortable, and wanted to say something to comfort him, but her tongue was too stupid, and she didn't know what to do to comfort him!
Another day later, Lao Zhang came, and brought some things, Xuemei looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, Lao Zhang actually brought some cooking stoves in the canteen of the construction site.
"Zhang Gong, how did you get these things?" Xuemei asked curiously.
Lao Zhang was relieved to see that the two of them had stabilized, and he replied: "I'm going back to my hometown, go to the construction site to get my luggage, and see that no one wants these things in the canteen, so I brought them to you by the way, I know that you need them." ”
Zuo Jun couldn't let go of the construction site after all, so he hurriedly asked, "How is the construction site now?" What are the workers doing? ”
Lao Zhang couldn't help but sigh and said: "Xiao Zuo, you are really a worrying life, they are about to force you to have no way to live, what are you still thinking about them for?" Do you know the truth? Those contractors later chased the hospital, but fortunately we didn't stay in the hospital, if they hit it again, how about you? ”
Zuo Jun was still very entangled in his heart and said: "I don't blame them, I deceived them, they can't get the money, so they will naturally settle accounts with me, it's all my fault!" ”
"Xiao Zuo, you are too kind, in this year, people are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Like you, you can only suffer! ”
Zuo Jun was silent, he paused for a while and asked, "Are you still coming back?" ”
"Of course, I'm still renting this house, I'll be back after the Spring Festival, I'm asking someone to contact the new company, if there is an eyebrow, I'll take yours, and you haven't done enough to be a colleague!"
As soon as Zuo Jun and Xuemei heard Zhang Gong say this, they sent Lao Zhang away with great gratitude.
Lao Zhang sent the stove in the canteen of the construction site, which brought great convenience to their lives, but they had to eat every day, although they ate very economically every day, but the money in their pockets was still a little less, and the New Year was here in a blink of an eye.
After several days of recuperation, the wounds on his body finally eased, and he could no longer sit still, so he immediately went out to find work.
"Brother Jun, your body has just recovered a little, and you can't do strenuous activities, so let's take care of it for a while!" Xuemei said distressedly.
Zuo Jun said casually: "I have long been out of trouble, and now while there are still a few days left for the New Year, I must go out to earn a little money for the New Year!" ”
Seeing Zuo Jun's persistence, Xuemei was helpless, now the family really needed money, and he wanted to go out to find odd jobs, but Zuo Jun didn't agree to go out by himself, he was too worried about himself.
Zuo Jun came to the labor market again this morning, and this time to his surprise, there were basically no people there, it turned out that the Spring Festival was about to be celebrated, and there were no more people to recruit to work, and there were very few people looking for work.
The left army squatted in the labor market for a long time, and the cold weather almost froze him, but no one asked him to work.
He dragged his weak body aimlessly wandering around the streets, he couldn't make any money today, so what could he do to buy food!
He felt that the end of the world was coming, no, he seemed to have come to the end of his life, did he really come to a dead end?
He stood by the street, looking at the traffic on the street, and really wanted to rush over to meet the traffic and end his painful life...
However, it's not a pity to die by herself, what should Xuemei do? If she didn't have a place to lean on, she wouldn't be at ease when she died.
He thought of Liu Cheng, does he still come to Dejiang often?
He forgot to die for Xuemei like that, and he would definitely treat her well, but where was he?
If he can entrust Xuemei to Liu Cheng, he will also be satisfied, he was a little jealous of Liu Cheng before, and ate a lot of vinegar from him, but now, he hopes that Liu Cheng can appear by his side, no, he will appear by Xuemei's side!
However, now everything is impossible, Xuemei's current life still depends on his left army, and he must fight like a man!
He walked while thinking...
Unconsciously came to a building, he looked up, and suddenly had an idea...
