Wang Youquan came home in the middle of the night, and as soon as he turned on the light in the living room, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa, and he didn't look at him, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

"You forgot to lock the door again, what if someone else takes my key to open the door?" Wang Youquan turned around and patiently locked the door, and said, "Is there boiling water at home?" ”

His wife didn't move, Wang Youquan was used to it, and he went to check whether there was hot water in the hot water bottle in the living room one by one. After making sure there weren't, I went back to the kitchen.

When boiling water, I told my wife by the way: "What are you crying again, I said that someone else asked me to talk about work, serious things." Unable to get his wife's answer, Wang Youquan returned to the living room, saw that his wife was still sitting there and did not move, knowing that she didn't believe herself, so he sat next to him, and suddenly kissed her fiercely, and said proudly: "Smell, smell the wine, I have been drinking, you know, I never drink when I play cards." ”

This is true, although Wang Youquan likes to gamble, but he is also very principled in gambling, summed up there are three points, do not gamble when drinking, do not gamble with relatives and friends, and do not gamble with debts.

"That Shi Qiang? What jobs can he introduce? Not to ask you to pay back? "My wife is still worried that something bad will happen, since Shi Qiang's gang came to collect debts several times before the New Year, Wang Youquan's wife now closes her eyes and is the sound of knocking on the door.

"They have come to our house three times during the Chinese New Year, and they know best whether I have money or not," Wang Youquan analyzed to his wife, "These moneylenders are smart, and they won't come hard if they don't have money, and the introduction of jobs is good for them, and they can pay off the debt directly from my salary." ”

"Isn't that all for nothing?" Wang Youquan still has the technology of an excavator, and he can secretly do odd jobs for people and subsidize his family when he is free.

"It's not in vain," Wang Youquan took out two yuan from his arms, slapped them on the table and said, "The employer made an appointment with Shi Qiang and me, and the three parties met directly, and the conditions were all agreed, I can get back half of my salary a month, half of which is deducted, and these are half of the advance payment, which should be used as a settlement fee." ”

"Half? Isn't that 40,000, 80,000 yuan if you count the debt repayment? How long will it take? ”

"At most a month, if I'm on a business trip, you help me pack my clothes, and I have to go. You collect the money. ”

"It can't be a crime," Wang Youquan's wife still didn't dare to touch the money, "Will you be willing to give you 80,000 yuan a month?" ”

"The project is tense, and the boss is forced to be in a hurry. Besides, he is a serious university professor, and this is engaged in scientific research. I told you that you don't understand, hurry up and clean up, they're still waiting for me downstairs. ”

When Wang Youquan's wife was looking for clothes in the bedroom, the boiling water in the kitchen was also boiled, Wang Youquan rummaged in the living room for a while, found a bag of tea bought for the New Year to entertain guests, grabbed a handful, put it in the hot water bottle, and put the rest in his pocket.

Then he went to the kitchen to fill the thermos with water, took out the thermos again, poured a full cup into it, and then filled the thermos again.

This is all the preparation work before he excavators, whether it is on the gambling table or on the excavator, strong tea is Wang Youquan's indispensable refreshing drink.

After his wife packed his luggage, he carefully opened the door again, and when he closed the door, he reminded his wife again - remember to lock the door.

Just after the New Year, Wang Youquan didn't even have a couplet and a blessing word at the door of his house, and the original couplet was brushed by Shi Qiang and them with eight blood-red characters: "Debt repayment, it is justified." ”

Coming out of the corridor, Wang Youquan got into Shi Qiang's van. Wang Youquan thought he might have to go to the airport or train station, but the van just headed out of the city. Wang Youquan had already taken the money anyway and promised the other party, so he no longer worried about where the other party would take him, or what would happen, so he simply closed his eyes and recuperated.

The car stopped at the entrance of a village, Shi Qiang looked at the agreed platform and saw that there was no one on the platform, and blurted out: "I must be lecturing again, this brain is dead." ”

Shi Qiang started to call, and after answering, he was not polite at all, and scolded directly: "The surname is Xu, if I haven't seen you in 5 minutes, believe it or not, I will go to your house to move furniture?" I promise you won't even be able to find a bench leg when you go back. After speaking, the other party didn't stop explaining, and hung up the phone directly.

Less than three minutes later, Wang Youquan saw a young man in his twenties, running towards this side quickly, looking like he was still wearing a suit, very human-like and dog-like. If you don't pay attention, Wang Youquan probably won't realize that the person in front of him is all the way to himself.

He is a gambler, he is a liar. Wang Youquan felt that he was a little nobler, at least he didn't cheat people.

"What do you mean by wearing this? Who are you going to give a lecture to? The construction site will be the two of you at that time," after the young man got into the car, Shi Qiang sprayed like a son, "What about the change of clothes?" Tell you to prepare your luggage, and you will come over to me like this? ”

"My family won't let me go home, you see, I still have the money in my hands, and there is no clothes to sell in the village, so I really didn't have time."

"Then you can do this first, and I'll send you the clothes when the time comes," Shen Changwen urged Shi Qiang, "Hurry up and go to Dayang Village, hurry up." ”

After arriving in Dayang Village, Shen Changwen did not let Shi Qiang send them into the village, but just asked him to put people at the entrance of the village, and then Shen Changwen personally took them to Wu Xiaoqing's house. Along the way, Wang Youquan and this young man named Xu Yan didn't say a word, the two just said a few words during dinner, which was also about the work level.

After walking for a while, Wang Youquan followed the professor and turned a corner, and he realized that he should have arrived—because there were two excavators in the courtyard in front of him. Wang Youquan and Xu Yan looked at each other, and then they both skillfully took a look at the situation, after all, this is related to their specific work.

"I have sent someone to overhaul the car in detail, everything is normal, this is the key, you take it," Shen Changwen handed each of them a car key, and then said, "Come with me first." ”

It didn't look like a professor's place to live, and after entering the room, Wang Youquan immediately had this impression. Not to mention the mess in the house, you can even see cobwebs at the foot of the ceiling walls, the floor is covered with a layer of dust, and I don't know how long it hasn't been inhabited - or rather, I don't know how lazy the people have become.

Shen Changwen went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for both of them, and Wang Youquan smiled and said, "Professor Shen, don't bother, I brought tea." ”

Xu Yan was really thirsty, and he was about to drink it when he picked it up, but was stopped by Shen Changwen: "Don't worry, you take the water cup first and follow me upstairs, Master Wang, you can bring your luggage with you." ”

The two of them followed up to the second floor, where the sanitary condition was a little better than the first floor, but it was only barely visible. Compared to the clutter on the first floor, this living room is too simple, with no furniture at all, only an empty room.

Shen Changwen took out two fitness yoga mats from the room, spread them on the ground, and said to the two of them: "Regarding the work situation, I have explained it clearly at the dinner table, and your family has also arranged it, there should be no problem, if there is a problem, hurry up now, if it can be solved, I will try to solve it." ”

Both of them shook their heads, this condition is already good enough, do it for a week to half a month, and then build according to the ready-made drawings, that is, dig some pits and lay some steel plates, without any effort, at most it is to endure a little hardship, and you can earn 80,000 yuan. If you want to mention any more conditions, miss this big pie that fell from the sky, and both of them will have to go all over the world to find regret medicine.

Wang Youquan was the leader of the "working group" set by Shen Changwen at the dinner table, and he expressed his attitude on behalf of the two of them: "If the professor has anything, just give me orders, my tea is ready, and I can start working at any time." ”

Shen Changwen nodded: "The glass of water in front of you is a sleeping pill, rest assured, this dosage is absolutely safe and normal." As I said, this project needs to be kept secret, and after you drink it, you can sleep here. When you wake up, you'll be at the place where you work. Remember what I said before, don't wander around, don't ask too much, just do your job, can you do it? ”

Wang Youquan took the water directly, then raised his neck and drank it in one go. After that, he lay down on a mat and honestly prepared for bed.

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, and he could see that he was still a little nervous, but soon he figured it out again, and muttered in his mouth: "Choice is more important than hard work, courage is more important than strategy, a person only has 7 opportunities in his life, and if he misses once, he will miss 10 years......" When he said this, he also drank the water in his hand.
