At noon, I had a meal at Yaya's house, don't look at Yaya's age, but she cooked a good dish, which was full of color, flavor and flavor, and Cheng Liping almost burst his stomach when he ate. After eating, Yaya called Cheng Hongbin, and when she heard that Cheng Liping was back, Cheng Hongbin smiled, and immediately asked for leave to come back, but there was no one in charge of the store temporarily, so she couldn't get out, so she could only wait for the next day unhappily.

In the evening, the lights finally came on in my room. Tired from the journey, Cheng Liping fell asleep in Cheng Hongbin's bedroom, Yaya walked to the door, and before he knocked on the door, Cheng Liping sat up vigilantly. Yaya was startled, patted her plump chest and said, "Brother Ping, uncle and aunt are back." ”

Cheng Liping responded, picked up the burden and left, and Yaya followed quickly behind him.

Mom and Dad had already eaten and were sitting in the small living room watching TV. Cheng Liping stood at the door, his nose was sour, and he opened his mouth to call his parents, but he choked up and couldn't scream. On the contrary, the old man noticed something, turned his head sharply and asked, "Who's outside?" ”

Yaya preemptively said: "Uncle, it's me, Brother Ping is back." ”

The old man walked out quickly and turned on the light at the door. Mom also hurriedly chased after her, grabbed Cheng Liping's hands, and her eyes were full of tears. "I've lost so much weight, have you eaten, I'm going to cook." Mom dragged Cheng Liping to the house and asked a series of questions.

"Eat." Cheng Liping seemed to be able to squeeze only these two words out of his throat.

The two of them seemed to be afraid of recognizing the wrong person, so they watched carefully for a long time before letting go of Cheng Liping's hand. My mother found out all the food at home, red dates, longan, and even a few mooncakes left over from last year, all on the round table. Cheng Liping soothed his mood and greeted him for a long time: "Dad, Mom, are you all well?" ”

"Okay, okay." The two old men responded, their eyes wet again.

Yaya crossed her two white long legs, eating red dates, and asked on the side: "Brother Ping, what do you plan to do when you come back?" My dad has contracted a construction site in the north of the city, otherwise you can help. ”

Cheng Liping nodded and said, "I don't have any skills." ”

Yaya smiled: "Then you can move the bricks." ”

Cheng Liping said: "No problem. He didn't ask about the salary, because he was a neighbor, he knew Yaya's father well, and he had always been generous. When the two old men saw that Cheng Liping had directly decided on the matter of work, they didn't say more, and after a while, they remembered to ask Cheng Liping where he had been in the past few years, how he was doing outside, whether he had found a partner, etc.

Cheng Liping reported good news and not bad news, and he didn't say a word about the hardships he had suffered, but as for the question of finding a partner, he replied truthfully: "No." ”

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Cheng Hongbin, who was anxious, didn't get up from Cheng Liping, so he stood outside the wall and shouted. Cheng Liping opened the door with a smile, let Cheng Hongbin in, and quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth. Cheng Hongbin hurriedly shouted: "Brother Ping, what are you doing, you listened to my sister yesterday and want to go to the construction site to move bricks?" ”

Cheng Liping smiled: "Yes, there is no other technology, let's do it first." ”

Cheng Hongbin waved his hand and said, "Oh, what's the future of doing that, a hundred yuan a day, you come to the store, I'll tell the leader, be a foreman, a few thousand yuan a month, don't live much, easy and chic." ”

Cheng Liping laughed and said, "Forget it, I'd better make a solid amount of money." ”

Cheng Hongbin made a straight face and said, "Isn't it practical to earn money from the bar?" This is the tertiary industry, the tertiary industry, do you understand? You see, bathing centers, chess and card clubs, bars, KTV, which one doesn't come to the money? ”

Cheng Liping knew Cheng Hongbin's temper when he was a child, and when something happened, he was so anxious that he couldn't hold his breath. However, he is used to seeing glory and wealth in the blink of an eye, so his desire for money is not so strong. After Cheng Hongbin finished speaking, he still said calmly: "I'll move the bricks, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Cheng Hongbin had no choice, opened his mouth, said hello to Cheng Liping's parents, and watched Cheng Liping pack his things. After cleaning up, Cheng Hongbin drove a motorcycle and sent Cheng Liping to the construction site.

Li Cheng is indeed not big, but it is next to several developed cities, and the economy is developing rapidly. With this, the real estate industry is booming. Cheng Liping remembered that when he left Licheng a few years ago, the house price was only 1,000, and now it has risen to more than 8,000. Unfortunately, the income of ordinary people is not much higher, so more and more young people have become hard-pressed house slaves.

Uncle Cheng's construction site is not large, with only more than 20 workers. The wall is less than a meter high, and it seems that the construction has not been started for long. Uncle Cheng was not on the construction site, saying that he was going to deal with the dispute with the real estate developer, and arranged for the foreman to greet Cheng Liping. Cheng Hongbin explained a few words and rode back to the bar on a motorcycle.

Cheng Liping has never moved bricks, and he has never mixed on the construction site, but he relied on his youth and strength, and worked for a whole day before he went to eat something. After eating, chatting with the workers, talking about the housing price problem, an elderly worker said: "It is really difficult for ordinary people to live, they earn thousands of yuan a month, they don't eat or drink, and they can't afford to buy a house." People like us are tired and tired, all of them are hard-earned money, and we often can't get our hands on it. ”

Cheng Liping frowned and said, "Old Uncle Cheng still owes you wages?" ”

The worker said: "Boss Cheng is a particular person, but he can't stand the black-hearted real estate agent, people don't give him money, what will he give us to settle the bill." ”

Cheng Liping was a little helpless, he hadn't seen this kind of news about arrears of migrant workers' wages, but he never thought that there would be such a thing in such a place as his hometown. Listening to the meaning of the workers, it seems that Uncle Cheng's life is not so good.

A few co-workers smoked cheap Magpie cigarettes and sat around playing cards. A worker with a pockmarked face raised his head and said: "Now there are few young people who are boiling on the construction site, and they all go to loan sharks, get the Internet, and run bathing centers or something, you are Boss Cheng's neighbor, why are you doing this?" ”

Cheng Liping took a puff of cigarettes, only to feel that the Magpie brand cigarettes were full of strength, although they choked a little, but the taste was strong, and they were indeed suitable for coolies. "I don't have any technology," Cheng Liping said with a smile, "I've been in the south for a few years, and I'm used to seeing those things, and I don't want to get into them." ”

The worker gave a thumbs up and said, "It's a man, you have to know both black and white to do those things, otherwise, it will be difficult to do it." In this world, it is not easy. ”

Cheng Liping remembered the scene he saw in the Vantone Market yesterday and asked, "Do we have a lot of loan sharks here?" Who are the people who lend money in the Vantone market? ”

Mazi said: "There are not many, they are all monopolized, just two." There used to be quite a lot, and they were all subdued. I also heard what Boss Cheng said, my home is in the countryside, and I don't know much about it. ”

A horse-faced man in his thirties interjected: "I know a little about this, the group of people who are mixed in the Wantong Market are all mixed with the Wang brothers. The eldest is the leader of the Public Security Bureau, and the second has opened several large companies in the city, with a net worth of hundreds of millions. The third child is the most unproductive, and he eats with the second child. ”

Cheng Liping nodded, recalling the ruffian's words, it can be confirmed that the ruffian is the third child of the Wang family. In a small place, a group similar to the Wang family, powerful and rich, is simply the emperor of the soil, no wonder the family was bullied like that, and no one dared to call the police. Cheng Liping suddenly remembered the young woman, he came to the way out and pulled out a knife to help, I don't know if it will cause her more trouble.

After a few days of stuffy work on the construction site, Uncle Cheng finally came back. He looks older than Cheng Liping's father, which makes Cheng Liping a little surprised, although in terms of age, Uncle Cheng is a few years older, but his family has always been very good, and he belongs to the category of pampering, I didn't expect him to age so quickly. It seems that the work of contracting the construction site has overdrawn too much of his energy.

Old Uncle Cheng didn't say hello to Cheng Liping, he went into the office and showed up after lunch. He gathered the workers, shook his head, and said, "In the afternoon, take a break and calculate how many jobs you have, and go to the accountant to get paid." ”

Cheng Liping was dumbfounded, he had only been doing a week's work, and he was going home? Looking at the bloodshot eyes of Uncle Cheng, he couldn't bear to ask more, so he could only obediently go to the accountant to settle the salary.

I worked for seven days, one hundred and five a day, and received one thousand and fifty dollars.

Cheng Liping was carrying his things and didn't know how to tell his parents. If you are already twenty-six or seventeen years old, do you want to tell them that you have just found a job and are unemployed?

Cheng Liping shook his head with a wry smile and took the bus back to Vantone Market. Mom and Dad set up a stall there, taking advantage of this time to help them. Passing by the knitting factory, I saw a mess, broken tables and chairs everywhere. Cheng Liping was startled and hurriedly asked the people around him what was going on here. The owner of the fried goods shop next to him looked indignant and said: "I have offended the underworld of loan sharks, alas, and now I have ruined my family." ”

Cheng Liping asked, "What about the eldest sister?" ”

The owner of the fried food shop said, "Dead, hanged." A few small workers, with broken arms and legs, are all living in the hospital. ”

A wave of anger rose from Cheng Liping's heart, and no matter how he persuaded himself, he couldn't suppress it. This family is not related to him, he is weak, and opposing the three brothers of the Wang family is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree. However, is it just like this to let them continue to run rampant in the countryside and do all kinds of evil? He looked silently at the ruined knitting mill and turned to leave.
