Chapter 863: Moving Bricks and Dreams
Earth space-time X, in a rental house.
Hearing the voice, Tang Xiaosheng turned his head to look, and saw Yue'er sitting on his head, holding a book in his hand, titled "The Meaning of Madness: A Collection of Nietzsche's Superhuman Philosophy".
"Brother Tang, did you dream when you slept?" Yue'er put down the book in her hand, her big eyes showed a hint of cunning, and she asked curiously, "You've been talking in your dreams just now." ”
"Dream talk?" Tang Xiaosheng's heart tightened slightly, and he was half-convinced, "Did I talk in my dream?" ”
"Hmm."
"What do I say in my dreams?" Tang Xiaosheng asked.
"I don't know what to do." Yue'er shook her head, "When you talk in your dreams, you can't speak clearly, and you don't know what Lu Dao is talking about. Brother Tang, what are you dreaming about? ”
With his arm on the sofa, Tang Xiaosheng sat up and said, "I had a nightmare. ”
"Nightmare? What nightmare? ”
"I dreamed of you."
"How can I dream that I am a nightmare, it should be a sweet dream." Yue'er's eyes rolled twice, and she asked curiously, "Brother Tang, in your dream, which name did I use?" Is it Yue'er, Chen Yameng, or Yang Ziwen? ”
Tang Xiaosheng blurted out: "Of course it's Chen Yameng." ”
Hearing this, Yue'er's mouth pursed slightly, and she didn't seem to be very satisfied: "How can it be Chen Yameng?" My name is Yang Ziwen, you should dream of Yang Ziwen. ”
Tang Xiaosheng said: "I only found out last night that your name is Yang Ziwen, I have known Yang Ziwen for less than a day, and Chen Yameng has known me for more than five years, how can I not dream of Chen Yameng?" ”
Yue'er's pink lower lip bites. asked: "Then will Brother Tang dream of Yang Ziwen in the future?" ”
"It's up to you." Tang Xiaosheng said seriously, "If you are gentle and virtuous, empathetic, and leave a good impression on me, I may still dream of Yang Ziwen." But if you're too savage and willful, then I'm afraid I won't dream of you. ”
Yue'er asked curiously: "How can you be gentle, virtuous, and understanding?" ”
Tang Xiaosheng got up from the sofa and said, "A gentle and virtuous girl should be well-behaved." Don't be arrogant and unreasonable. You've been with me for one night. After breakfast, you have to hurry home, can you do it? ”
Yue'er asked, "What about Brother Tang?" ”
"Nonsense, of course I'm going to work on the construction site." Tang Xiaosheng said. "Alright. Wash up. I'll go out for breakfast and then go home. ”
Yue'er thought about it and nodded a little reluctantly: "Okay." ”
After speaking. Put the "Meaning of Madness: Nietzsche's Superman Philosophy" in his hand on the chuang, walk down the chuang, put on his shoes, and then follow Tang Xiaosheng towards the bathroom, ready to wash.
After entering the bathroom, Yue'er didn't think about it, and immediately picked up a white toothbrush placed on the windowsill and prepared to brush her teeth. It's just that she just squeezed the toothpaste on the toothbrush, and Tang Xiaosheng had already snatched the toothbrush and said, "This toothbrush is mine, you can't use it." ”
Yue'er raised her eyebrows lightly: "Why can't I do it?" Didn't we always share a toothbrush when we were kids? ”
Tang Xiaosheng said: "When I was a child, I was a child, and now is now, it's different. ”
"What's the difference?" Yue'er didn't seem convinced.
Tang Xiaosheng asked rhetorically: "When you were a child, you often bathed bare-fed in front of me, why don't you take a bath now?" ”
"......" Yue'er.
With a pout, Yue'er asked resentfully, "Then how do I brush my teeth?" ”
"Brush with your own fingers." Tang Xiaosheng said, "Who asked you to spend the night with me?" I was going to send you home last night, and you didn't go back, this is your punishment. ”
Yue'er raised her right hand, looked at her fingers, and complained, "How do you brush your teeth with your fingers?" ”
"Who said you can't brush your teeth with your fingers, I'll show you." Tang Xiaosheng picked up the toothpaste, squeezed out a small inch of toothpaste on his fingers, and then used his fingers as a toothbrush, put them in his mouth and began to brush his teeth.
Seeing this, Yue'er's face suddenly smiled, and without thinking too much, she also squeezed a small piece of toothpaste on the index finger of her right hand, and then learned Tang Xiaosheng's movements and began to use her finger toothbrush.
So, in the bathroom, I saw a man and a woman brushing their teeth strangely.
While brushing her teeth, Yue'er remembered something and suddenly asked, "Brother Tang, why do you have a book in your room called "The Meaning of Madness: A Collection of Nietzsche's Superhuman Philosophy"?" Do you also like Nietzsche's philosophy? ”
Tang Xiaosheng clarified: "This book is not mine, it belongs to that actor." Didn't this rental house have a cast member living before? Most of the books in the rental house belonged to him, and he didn't take them with him when he moved, so I picked up a bargain. ”
"Oh." Yue'er suddenly realized and said, "But, you've also read these books, right?" I found many of the annotations you wrote in pen and ink on the pages of The Meaning of Madness: A Collection of Nietzsche's Superhuman Philosophy. ”
Tang Xiaosheng frowned slightly: "How do you know that I wrote those annotations in Lu Dao?" ”
"Of course, I know it." Yue'er said a little proudly, "Brother Tang's dog crawling character is exactly the same as when he was a child, it hasn't changed at all, I recognize it at a glance." ”
"......" Tang Xiaosheng was a little speechless, she didn't expect her handwriting to leave such a deep impression on Yue'er, after eight years, she still remembered.
"Brother Tang, what do you think Nietzsche's philosophy refers to when it comes to 'superman'?" At this time, Yue'er asked curiously, "I see that you have written a lot of annotations in books, and you seem to have studied superhuman philosophy very much. ”
With a clear cough, Tang Xiaosheng said: "The 'superman' philosophy is actually very simple, just take moving bricks as an example." If you move a cart of bricks, you can earn 20 yuan, and if you move 3 cars of bricks a day, you can earn 60 yuan; If you move 5 truckloads of bricks a day, you can earn 100 yuan; If you can move 10 truckloads of bricks a day, then you are a 'superman'. Doing what others can't do, such a person is superhuman. ”
Yue'er smiled and asked, "Brother Tang, are you Superman?" ”
"Of course." Tang Xiaosheng said, "I still hold the record of moving 12 truckloads of bricks a day on the construction site, and it has been a full year and a half. No one has been able to break this record to this day. ”
"Really?" Yue'er didn't know much about moving bricks, because she had never seen such a thing when she was in the United States, and asked curiously, "Is it difficult to move 12 truckloads of bricks a day?" ”
"It's not very difficult, as long as you fight for 20 hours in a row, you can basically do it." Tang Xiaosheng turned on the faucet, rinsed his mouth, then wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, and said, "Okay, little rich woman." Move fast. It's almost seven o'clock and we're in a hurry. ”
"Oh."
After washing, Yue'er returned to the room, and then used Tang Xiaosheng's comb to comb her hair a few times. After dressing up. The two kept leaving the rental house. After walking more than a hundred meters. Dinner at a nearby breakfast shop.
In normal times, Tang Xiaosheng's breakfast is usually a cup of soy milk and two steamed buns, but today his breakfast was upgraded. It turns into a bottle of milk plus four large meat buns.
The four big meat buns were bought by Yue'er, and this little girl kept saying that Tang Xiaosheng was too thin and should eat more meat.
After eating breakfast, Tang Xiaosheng originally decided to send Yue'er back to Tianhu Hotel first, but Yue'er politely refused.
"Brother Tang, I can go back by myself, you don't have to send you." Yue'er said, "It's past seven o'clock, you go directly to the construction site, so as not to be late." ”
"Is it really okay for you to go back by yourself?"
"Absolutely." Yue'er said, "I'll take a rental car back, and the taxi can send me directly to the door of Tianhu Hotel, it will definitely be fine, you don't have to worry." Brother Tang, you go to work, I'll go back to the hotel by myself. ”
After discussing, Yue'er stopped a taxi, and after saying hello to Tang Xiaosheng, she left quickly.
After Yue'er's taxi disappeared from view, Tang Xiaosheng retracted his thoughts, walked towards the bus, and then took bus No. 801 to the construction site.
Once you arrive at the construction site, the day's work begins.
Tang Xiaosheng's task this morning was to press the steel bar, from eight o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the middle. After resting for an hour at noon, he continued to press the steel bars in the afternoon, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, two truckloads of bricks came to the construction site, and Tang Xiaosheng pulled the iron plate car and began to move the bricks again.
Tang Xiaosheng's work today is not much different from usual, the only difference is that many workers come to ask about Yue'er.
Last night, seven or eight workers saw Tang Xiaosheng and Yue'er frolicking in the construction site, and at that time, Yue'er also admitted that she was Tang Xiaosheng's girlfriend, which shocked these workers and felt incredible.
So, after arriving at the construction site today, they asked Tang Xiaosheng one after another, wanting to know the ins and outs of the matter. Tang Xiaosheng truthfully told the experience of growing up together with Yue'er in the orphanage, and after listening, almost all the workers did not believe Tang Xiaosheng's words.
They all felt that if Yue'er had really gone to the United States for eight years, then Tang Xiaosheng should have been forgotten a long time ago, and even if they hadn't forgotten, it would be impossible for them to go back to China to find Tang Xiaosheng. Seven or eight workers all felt that Tang Xiaosheng was lying, thought that there was something else hidden in it, and did not believe the facts that Tang Xiaosheng said.
In fact, even Tang Xiaosheng himself didn't believe it, he thought that he should not have any more intersections with Yue'er, after all, the two were just playmates when they were children, after all, the two had been separated for eight years, after all, the two were thousands of kilometers apart, one in the United States and the other in China.
When Yue'er suddenly appeared last night, Tang Xiaosheng had always suspected that he was dreaming, because all this was completely unexpected.
However, no matter how I don't believe it, Yue'er still appeared after all.
"Don Jr.! Your girlfriend is here! ”
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, when Tang Xiaosheng was moving bricks in the construction site under the scorching sun, Lao Wang, a worker, came over and said with a smile, "Xiao Tang, don't move, your fairy-like girlfriend is here." ”
Tang Xiaosheng straightened up, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his arm, and asked puzzledly, "What?" ”
Lao Wang raised his right hand, pointed to the location under the wall on the east side of the construction site, and said, "See, your girlfriend." ”
Tang Xiaosheng looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a young woman standing in a shady place under the wall, about twenty years old, wearing a white casual dress, a purple hat on her head, and a bottle of mineral water in her hand, standing quietly under the wall, with a pair of big eyes looking around, as if looking for something.
Seeing this, Tang Xiaosheng had already recognized that this girl with a purple hat was Yue'er.
"Why did this little girl come to the construction site again?"
With such a question, Tang Xiaosheng put down the iron plate car that moved bricks. Then walk briskly towards the fence on the east side of the site.
"Yue'er!"
"Huh?" Hearing the voice, Yue'er immediately turned her head, and when she saw Tang Xiaosheng, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted happily, "Brother Tang!" ”
Tang Xiaosheng walked up to Yue'er and asked, "What are you doing at the construction site again?" ”
"It's boring to stay in the hotel, so I'm coming to see you, hehe." With a little hand raised, Yue'er handed over the mineral water. Said. "Brother Tang, drink water."
"I'm not thirsty." Tang Xiaosheng changed his words and said, "If there is nothing to do, you can go back to the hotel." This is a construction site. Not a park. Don't fool around if you don't have anything to do. It's so hot today, you beware of heat stroke. ”
Yue'er said: "I won't suffer from heat stroke, I'm standing here quite cool." It's so boring to stay in a hotel. I came out to breathe. ”
Tang Xiaosheng reminded: "The construction site is more boring. I don't have time to accompany you, I still have to move bricks. ”
Yue'er said: "Well, I know the way. Brother Tang, go get busy, don't worry about me. ”
Tang Xiaosheng wanted to persuade her to leave, but this little girl was a little stubborn by nature, and it was useless to persuade her, she just didn't want to go. In desperation, Tang Xiaosheng had no choice but to advise: "You just stay here, don't run around." If you're thirsty, drink water, remember? ”
Yue'er nodded.
After explaining the matter, Tang Xiaosheng turned to leave, walked back to the construction site, and continued to move bricks. There are only two truckloads of bricks coming today, one less than yesterday, and the workload is not too big.
After fighting for more than two hours in a row, at half past six in the evening, Tang Xiaosheng finished moving two truckloads of bricks. After moving the bricks, his task for today is completed, and he can get off work.
After packing up his dirty clothes, Tang Xiaosheng turned around and walked in the direction of the fence on the east side of the construction site. Until this time, Yue'er was still under the wall, and she watched Tang Xiaosheng's process of moving bricks throughout the whole process.
"Yue'er, you can go."
When he walked under the wall, Tang Xiaosheng was about to take Yue'er away, but when he walked in front of Yue'er, he found that her watery eyes were slightly red, her eye sockets were already moist, and there were crystal tears in the corners of her eyes.
Seeing this, Tang Xiaosheng frowned slightly, was puzzled in his heart, and asked with concern, "Yue'er, what's wrong?" Why are you crying, what's going on? ”
Yue'er wiped the corners of her eyes with her little hand and shook her head gently: "I'm fine." ”
Tang Xiaosheng said: "I'm crying, haven't you done anything yet?" Say, what's wrong? ”
Yue'er pursed her mouth, her soft gaze fell on Tang Xiaosheng's sweaty face, her eyes flashed with pity, and she asked seriously: "Brother Tang, isn't your work very hard?" ”
Tang Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled: "It's okay, what's wrong?" ”
Yue'er Qiong's nose was slightly sour, and she said: "It must be very hard, so many bricks you have to move one by one, and the weather is so hot, I see that your sweat has been sliding down your face, and then dripping on the ground......"
As she spoke, Yue'er suddenly choked up, her eyes turned red, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes again, and she sobbed softly.
Tang Xiaosheng was stunned, and it was only then that he understood what Yue'er was crying for, smiled faintly, and soothed: "Fool, going to work is meant to work, who doesn't work hard?" Do you think everyone can be a rich woman like you? ”
Yue'er looked at Tang Xiaosheng's dark arms and calloused palms, and her jade nose turned red, "However, Brother Tang is very hard, he has been moving bricks all afternoon, sweating non-stop, and his clothes are soaked...... "wiped the corners of his eyes, controlled his emotions, and then said, "Brother Tang, are you hungry, let's go eat?" ”
Tang Xiaosheng nodded.
So, just like last night, Yue'er took Tang Xiaosheng's hand, left the construction site together, and went to Sister Fang's restaurant.
After arriving at the restaurant, Tang Xiaosheng directly ordered beef soup and lobster, ready to eat. He hadn't usually said it so extravagantly, but he had to be extravagant tonight. If you don't eat these, Yue'er will definitely buy them for him to eat. Therefore, Tang Xiaosheng mainly ate Yue'er and watched it.
This little girl saw Tang Xiaosheng's process of moving bricks at the construction site this afternoon, she didn't really know what it meant to move bricks until now, and she finally knew what Tang Xiaosheng looked so thin, she felt that Tang Xiaosheng should make up for it, and always persuaded Tang Xiaosheng to eat more meat.
In order to deal with this girl, Tang Xiaosheng brought 500 yuan with him when he went out in the morning, and he was finally able to eat a big meal with his own money tonight.
Restaurants, tableside.
"Brother Tang, eat more lobster." Yue'er peeled a lobster and put it in Tang Xiaosheng's bowl. He seemed to be very distressed and said, "You must be very tired after a tiring day, right?" ”
Tang Xiaosheng smiled faintly and said, "It's just two carts of bricks, what's there to be tired of?" ”
"How can you not be tired?" Yue'er said, "I feel that the weather is so hot when I stand in the shade of the wall, and you must be many times more tired than me when you move bricks under the scorching sun." Brother Tang, do you have to do so much work every day? ”
Tang Xiaosheng said: "No, sometimes it's more." Sometimes less. "Teasingly." However, this is all normal work, and you are rare and strange, and many people work like this. Not as miserable as you say. Don't spend a man's belly with a woman's heart. ”
Yue'er's willow eyebrows bent. asked, "Brother Tang, how long have you been working at the construction site?" ”
"More than two years."
"Two years? So long? Yue'er's thin eyebrows tightened slightly, and her pretty face flashed with a hint of uneasiness. Xiaokou pursed his mouth and asked softly, "Brother Tang, why don't you change jobs for Lu?" ”
"This job is very good, why do you want to change it?" Tang Xiaosheng asked rhetorically.
"Where's this job?" Yue'er said puzzledly, "Moving bricks every day, doing heavy physical work, where can the body eat?" Even the bodybuilder in the United States moves bricks every day, and he may not be able to stand it. It's dangerous to move such bricks, but what if you accidentally get hit by a brick? Also, your hands are calloused, and in the winter, your skin may crack open, and it will definitely hurt. ”
Tang Xiaosheng said: "How can it be so exaggerated? Don't guess by yourself, you little brat, moving bricks is a very good job, how many people in China depend on it to survive, and it has made an indelible contribution to building a well-off society. ”
"However, you can't move bricks for a lifetime, right?" While peeling the shrimp, Yue'er said seriously, "Brother Tang, you are so capable, you can find something else to do and change to another job." ”
Tang Xiaosheng followed her words: "What kind of job?" ”
Yue'er thought for a while and asked, "Brother Tang, what is your dream?" ”
"Dreams?" Tang Xiaosheng asked, "What is a dream?" ”
Yue'er said: "It's your wish, it's something worth pursuing all your life." For example, to be a painter, to be a musician, to be a scientist, to be an architect, or something. ”
Tang Xiaosheng smiled and said, "These things you said are too high-end, I can't climb high." ”
"No, it won't. Brother Tang, I remember that you were very smart when you were a child, nothing can stump you, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to do well. Yue'er said confidently, her willow eyebrows bent, and she asked with concern, "Brother Tang, what is your dream?" You name it, and I'll help you analyze it. ”
Tang Xiaosheng took a bite of lobster and said, "I don't have any dreams. ”
"Impossible, how can people not have dreams?" Yue'er's squeamish face sank, and she said a little angrily, "Brother Tang, do you not trust me and are unwilling to tell me your dreams?" ”
Seeing her resentful look, Tang Xiaosheng said: "I do have a dream now, but I definitely can't realize it." ”
Yue'er said: "No, it will definitely be realized, you can tell me." ”
Tang Xiaosheng said: "I still don't say it." If you say a dream and it doesn't come true, won't the dream become a joke? ”
Yue'er straightened her chest and encouraged: "Brother Tang, I think you must be fine, you have to have confidence in yourself." ”
"Of course I have faith in myself, I just don't have faith in you."
"No confidence in me?" Yue'er was puzzled, "Does your dream have anything to do with me?" ”
"Yes." Tang Xiaosheng said, "If you are not willing to cooperate, my dream will not be realized." ”
Yue'er thought for a while and said, "Brother Tang, you say it, I will definitely cooperate!" ”
"Really?"
"Hmm."
"What if you break your word?"
"If I repent, I'm a puppy."
"No, you've been a puppy many times."
"......" Yue'er rolled her eyes and said, "Then what do you say?" ”
"If you repent, you're a piggy?"
"Good!" Yue'er decisively agreed, "Brother Tang, can you talk about your dream now?" ”
"Of course." Tang Xiaosheng coughed and said, "My dream now is to hope that when I go home for a while, you will no longer follow me, but should return to Tianhu Hotel immediately." ”
Yue'er realized that she had been fooled, and pouted: "This is also called a dream?" ”
"What, can't you?" Tang Xiaosheng said, "I've been working all day, I'm so tired, I just want to go home and sleep, don't pester me tonight like last night." ”
Yue'er Qiong's nose wrinkled, and after thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to Tianhu Hotel in a while." ”
"That's good. After eating, I will send you back to the hotel. ”
"No need, Brother Tang, you're tired all day, go home and sleep first, I'll just call a taxi."
Half an hour later, dinner was over.
Yue'er is still a girl who does what she says, and after eating, she really called a taxi and left, and did not pester Tang Xiaosheng anymore.
As for Tang Xiaosheng, he took the bus back to his rental house. After returning home, he took a cold shower and sat down on his head.
After sitting on the chuang, Tang Xiaosheng did not rest immediately, but casually picked up a book on the chuang, called "The Self-cultivation of Actors". This book was not bought by Tang Xiaosheng, but left by the actor who lived in this room before, he left a total of more than a dozen books, and occasionally when he was bored, Tang Xiaosheng would open it and take a look.
After reading "The Self-cultivation of Actors" for more than 20 minutes, Tang Xiaosheng put the book aside and picked up another book, called "Guitar March Pass", which is an introductory book on basic guitar playing skills.
Tang Xiaosheng has never learned the guitar, he has basically never touched the guitar, but he is interested in reading the introduction of guitar performance in "Guitar March Pass".
In the reading, the time passed minute by minute, and before I knew it, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.
"Knock knock!"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the bedroom door.
Tang Xiaosheng frowned slightly, it's so late now, who is knocking on the door?
Thinking about it tightly, at this time, Yue'er's sweet voice came from outside the door of the rental house: "Brother Tang, have you slept?" (To be continued......)
