They walked slowly to the top of town, found a breakfast shop, bought some breakfast and stood in front of the bus stop, eating hot buns while waiting for the bus. Standing in front of the bus stop and looking at the passing buses, a bus is coming very slowly and stopping in front of the bus stop. The front and rear doors open very slowly, some people squeeze down from the back door, they squeeze through the front door, the front and rear doors are closed, the bus starts to start, stop and go all the way, through the Yangtze River tunnel, over the viaduct, towards the most prosperous center of Shanghai, where you can see the high-rise buildings. Yuan Peng looked through the car window and was overwhelmed. The Huangpu River under the bridge, and the Bund in Shanghai is seen from afar. They get off here, and there are a lot of pedestrians here, and there are crowds of people, waving like clouds and sweating like rain. Yuan Peng looked up at the tall buildings on both sides, couldn't help but exclaim, looked left and right, and always felt that everything here was not enough, everything was so fresh. People who came out of small places inevitably had some rusticness, and there were three or four foreign people walking in front of him, blonde hair and green eyes, Yuan Peng followed closely and stepped forward to take a look, looking from top to bottom, to see how they were different from us, maybe this was due to his curiosity.

“

o, go, go," these foreign people looked at Yuan Peng in front of them in surprise.

Yuan Peng smiled very embarrassedly and said, "Hello, I'm Yuan Peng, welcome to China." ”

Yuan Kun immediately pulled Yuan Peng away and walked away: "They can't understand what you're saying, not everyone can greet you." ”

I have seen these people from the black and white TV at the entrance of the village, "If you don't go out and walk a few times, you will really sit in and watch the sky, this time he is really insightful, as the so-called reading thousands of books is better than traveling thousands of miles."

They walked around and walked into a clothing store to take a look, and looking at these price lists, Yuan Peng was stunned for a moment. Yuan Kun looked at Yuan Peng's expression and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Yuan Peng looked at these clothes and said with a smile: "I'm afraid we won't be able to buy a single piece of clothing here with our months' salaries combined." ”

"This is the most prosperous area in Shanghai, and everything is very expensive."

Then they stood on the banks of the Huangpu River, looking at the river and the city on the other side, the two were very different. As the sun set, they went back the way they came, bought some old clothes and trousers from the stall in front of the gate of the shed, and prepared to go to work tomorrow. When night fell, they went to bed very early, everything here was so quiet, only the sound of insects was in their ears, they slept very sweetly at this time, who knew that when they woke up, it was the next morning.

As soon as it was light, they got up. Yuan Peng put on the old clothes and pants he bought yesterday, squatted down after getting out of bed, took out his helmet and knife under the bed, put the knife in the helmet and sandwiched it under his armpit, and walked out of the room with Yuan Kun. The morning breeze was slightly cool, and it felt cool on the body. They walked to a breakfast shop, stood at the window, bought some breakfast, and ate as they went. When several people came together, there were a few laughs, and they threw the finished plastic bags and threw them in the stream, and on both sides of the stream, there were clusters of reeds, swaying in the wind. They strode to the door of the construction site, bought two large bottles of mineral water at the small shop at the door, put on helmets and carried a large bottle of mineral water, and saw that the ground was covered with steel bars, in the shape of a checkered, and each squatted here to tie up the silk and fix these steel bars paved in a checkered shape. Yuan Peng came to work on the construction site for the first time, and his feet stepped on the paved steel bars, and he felt that his feet were very painful, maybe he was not used to it. The sun gradually rises, the cold gradually dissipates, the earth begins to warm, and sometimes there is a breeze blowing on the face, which makes people feel particularly cool.

"Roll up your sleeves and do it, hey! Don't be afraid of the wind or the rain, the foolish man moves mountains and spreads to the Quartet, yo hey! Two workers carried several long steel bars and sang the "labor trumpet", which shows that they are enjoying themselves in the midst of suffering. The sun was scorching, the earth was smoking, and I felt a little hot when I touched these steel bars with both hands.

"Yuan Peng, put some clothes on your back, otherwise these steel bars will wipe off a layer of skin from you," the middle-aged man behind him reminded Yuan Peng.

"Well, I know," Yuan Peng and the middle-aged man stepped on the steel frame, and carried the bundle of steel bars put down by the tower crane one by one and placed them next to Yuan Kun. They stepped on the steel frame and walked forward very carefully, the ground was getting hotter and hotter, and the beads of sweat were falling down one by one. At this time, Yuan Peng felt that his mouth was very thirsty, stood aside and drank water, and then continued to squat down to complete today's work. Sunset, they just started to call it a day, maybe they were too tired today, Yuan Peng, who was walking on the road, didn't say a word, put his helmet under his armpit, and walked alone in front of him, his pace was very fast.

Yuan Kun rushed forward and asked, "Today is the first time you work on the construction site, how do you feel?" ”

"One word, tired!"

"It's good to feel tired, and then you will be steadfast in doing things, and only then will you understand that it is not easy for us to make money, so that we can understand and understand what hard-earned money is?"

Yuan Peng just nodded, didn't reply a word, just wanted to hurry back and get a good night's sleep. I walked into the room, took off my work clothes, took a shower, fell down and went to sleep. Yuan Peng never snores, but today he is constantly snoring, and his snoring is like thunder. After Yuan Kun finished eating outside, he took some back, stood in front of Yuan Peng's bed, woke Yuan Peng, and said, "Yuan Peng, Yuan Peng, get up and eat quickly." ”

Yuan Peng opened his eyes, sat up and looked at Yuan Kun who was sitting next to him, and said, "What kind of rice?" ”

"Braised pork."

Yuan Peng sat up at the head of the bed and took the box of lunch. At this time, a few young men walked in, stood in front of Yuan Peng, and said, "Yuan Peng, I'm going to sleep so early." ”

Yuan Peng sat at the head of the bed and just nodded silently and said, "Hmm." ”

"Let's go, let's go out and play together for a while, relax."

Yuan Peng looked at Yuan Kun next to him and said, "Uncle." ”

"Go out and play with them for a while, remember to come back early, don't play too late, you have to go to work tomorrow."

Yuan Peng immediately got dressed, ran out of the door of this room with them, turned around and said, "Well, I know." "Yuan Peng and these guys on the construction site are workers and fellow villagers, they are all from their hometown in Sichuan, they quickly met on the construction site, and they are very compatible. The few of them ran out of the shed like wild horses off the reins, and on the way they talked about everything, talked about everything, talked to each other about their past interesting things, and made fun of each other.

Shanghai is known as the Devil's Realm because there is more of a world outside than a temptation. They walked into the bathing center, and several people sat in the bath or played in the warm water. Yuan Peng was very curious and asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

"It's a place for us to have fun, haven't you been?"

"Let's laugh at it, I'm from a small place, so what about a place like this?"

Then arrange a separate room for them to rest, Yuan Peng sat up and looked at the black and white TV in front of him, drinking the tea next to him, it was very leisurely, and it could indeed relieve the fatigue of the day here. At this time, I heard a knock on the door, and then pushed the door open. A young and beautiful woman walked through the door, and she closed the door when she entered. Yuan Peng sat up suddenly, stunned, and the woman smiled silently: "Little handsome guy, what service do you need?" ”

Yuan Peng still looked at the woman blankly and said, "What service?" ”

"Foot washing or massage, etc., the price is different."

"How can a man and a woman have skin-to-skin intimacy? Please respect yourself, please go out, it is inconvenient for you and me to be in the same room here. ”

The woman walked out, feeling that it was boring, and then walked in a few men and said, "You are Yuan Peng." ”

"Exactly, who are you?"

"Brother Chao, please, come with us," Yuan Peng was taken out of the room by these people, only to see Brother Chao touching in front of a woman, who stretched out her hands and gently rubbed her temples, just enjoying it. After Yuan Peng walked in, he said, "Brother Chao, why are you here?" Brother Chao opened his eyes and said, "Yuan Peng, you are so leisurely!" ”

"It's all at the invitation of some friends."

Brother Chao pinched the cigar placed next to him with one hand and put it in his mouth, and the person next to him brought a lamp with both hands to light it. Brother Chao took a puff and spit out the smoke, and said: "You can make it easy for me to find, and then I heard that you came to Shanghai, so I followed you to Shanghai, if you don't come out, I really can't find you, say, when do you want to pay back?" ”

"Brother Chao, please give me some time, and when I get enough money, I will return it to you."

"You can play me, it's okay, I heard that you are very good at fighting, right, you can win against these brothers behind me, I promised you to delay some time to repay the money, what do you think?" Then a big man walked out, stood in front of Yuan Peng, and said.

"Brother Chao, I'm not good at learning, so I can't take it out and show my ugliness, but since you said so, you have to talk and count."

"A gentleman never changes his words."

Dahan stood in front of Yuan Peng, and the two looked at each other. Dahan clenched his fist and swung it, Yuan Peng dodged on his back, pressed the waved fist with one hand, and hit the other punch head-on, Yuan Peng moved sideways and kicked out, kicking on the thigh of Dahan, Dahan knelt in front of Yuan Peng on one leg, looked up at Yuan Peng standing in front of him, very unconvinced, stood up, and did not stand firm, Yuan Peng kicked his side leg, only to see Dahan fly out and hit the side of the small table next to the bed, knocking over the teacup and spilling it on the ground. Dahan stood up again, looked at Brother Chao behind him, and rushed forward angrily.

"Okay, stand down," the big man only stepped back and stood aside, very bored, with his head bowed. The woman sitting behind Brother Chao was stunned by the scene in front of her, looked at Yuan Peng in front of her, and thought that this handsome guy was not very old, but she reached out and found such an object in the future, because she had a sense of security, and kept blinking her glasses in the face of Yuan Peng, as if she had a good impression of him. Despite her affection, Yuan Peng didn't react.

"Brother Chao, you can go now."
