"Oh master, I'm really sorry, I'm three dollars for you." A smooth and greasy arm stretched out, and the slender jade fingers with bright red nail polish clenched a few pieces of change, and the voice was very sassy, sweet and greasy.

Liu Ze skillfully tightened the last screw, raised his head, the woman was bending down to talk to him, and the pair of full peaks on his chest were about to come out, and the white flowers were almost blinding his 24K titanium alloy eyeballs. I can't help but say that this woman is dressed very well, a low-cut sleeveless pink miniskirt, black mesh stockings, and white high heels shining with rhinestones - you must know that this is the season of early spring, and Liu Ze is still wearing a thick woolen sweater - in this season, wearing this dress and walking on the street, the return rate is absolutely 100%.

This woman can't talk about how beautiful she is, at best, it's 7 points +, she wears heavy makeup, she looks like she is only in her twenties, but her figure is definitely explosive, the convex places are convex, the warped places are warped, and the turbulent waves alone are enough to make people eye-catching. Liu Ze only paused on her chest for a second, then looked away and quickly took her money.

"Okay, it's fine." Liu Ze is a home appliance repairman, and it is indispensable to deal with women at home, don't look at how bright they are all dressed, buying a handbag can easily cost tens of thousands, but often picking a few dollars, Liu Ze has long been accustomed to it.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any change today." The woman apologized repeatedly, but there was a pride in her voice that she had spent a few bucks less. "Why don't I make it up to you that day?"

No change? Then why don't you take out the whole hundred bills? Liu Ze smiled faintly. "No, it's just a few bucks." He quickly packed up his tools and prepared to leave, "Remember to pay attention to water leakage, if it leaks, fix it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easiest to burn the motor." ”

"Thank you, master." The woman's face was full of smiles, "I've been busy for a long time, let's go into the house and have some tea." ”

"No, I have other business." Liu Ze politely declined. Although this woman is sexy, although eye-catching, she really has no half-dime relationship with herself, his and her lives are completely two parallel lines that can never intersect, and everyone has their own life.

At this time, a big bus stopped at the door, and a middle-aged man who was a little fat walked down, with a straight suit and shiny leather shoes. The woman quickly pounced, grabbed the middle-aged man's arm, and said, "Husband, why are you willing to come and see me today?" ”

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "As soon as I got off the plane, I came to you first." Baby, I bought you the diamond necklace you liked last time. ”

The woman's face was happy and smiling. "Thank you, husband!"

The middle-aged man noticed that there were other men in the courtyard, and frowned slightly, but in an instant, his brows stretched again, because he noticed that Liu Ze was wearing a blue overalls, carrying a toolbox in his hand, and a washing machine next to him. "Oh, the washing machine was fixed?"

"Yes, Master Liu's craftsmanship is good, and he repaired the broken household appliances in our community, and they were repaired well and cheaply."

The middle-aged man looked Liu Ze up and down critically, and said, "One of my laptops can't be connected to the Internet, can I fix it?" ”

Liu Ze could clearly feel the disdain in his eyes, dealing with these rich people was indeed a little depressing, but this feeling was fleeting. Liu Ze has been engaged in maintenance services for many years, and the people he comes into contact with are naturally all kinds, and he has developed his character of honor and disgrace, even in the face of rich local tyrants, he is also very calm, he has no hatred of the rich, and there is no idea of stammering, no matter how much money is someone else's, envy, jealousy and hatred are useless, earn your own money, although it is meager, but also upright, and fair.

He straightened up, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. "Then check it first, just if you can't access the Internet, it shouldn't be a big problem."

The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, and returned to the car to get a notebook. Liu Ze took the book, and his eyes lit up, it was actually the latest Apple notebook, an eight-core processor, 32G memory, 1,000G hard disk, all of which are top-level high-end configurations. He quickly checked it and said, "It's the built-in wireless network card that's broken, and it's okay to replace it with a new one." ”

"Can it be fixed now?"

"No, this wireless network card is dedicated to Apple's book, I don't have this accessory now, I have to take it back to repair, and I can send it over tomorrow morning."

The middle-aged man hesitated, after all, this thing was worth tens of thousands of yuan, and the woman smiled sweetly. "Husband, don't worry, Master Liu has been working here for many years, and he is quite reputable, and he can't fix his mistakes."

There was a woman to pack the ticket, and the middle-aged man nodded in agreement, and Liu Ze quickly received the apple notebook into his backpack. The middle-aged man was still a little uneasy, and at the end he told him again: "You have to be careful, don't delete the things in the hard drive." ”

"Don't worry, if it really damages you, I will compensate you according to the price."

"By the way, there is also this solar photovoltaic cell, you can also take a look, each time it is fully charged, it can only be used for three or four hours at most."

Liu Ze took it and put it away, and walked to the Haojue 125 motorcycle that belonged to him. After riding for more than ten years, this motorcycle is also on the verge of being scrapped, and I stepped on the starting lever more than a dozen times, but it didn't start. The middle-aged man said in a slightly mocking tone: "Master, it's time to change to a small car - it is said that the current car with a small displacement is not too expensive." ”

With one last hard pedaling, the motorcycle's engine finally let out a piercing roar. Liu Ze laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "This motorcycle is still convenient to ride and fuel-efficient." Gone—"

To tell the truth, Liu Ze has long been thinking about changing a small car, even if it is a second-hand car, but touching the money in his pocket, he dispelled this idea, now I want to drive is not as good as in previous years, I can't do it without a driver's license, I heard that now the driver's license test is not only expensive but also sad, the new car is too expensive, the second-hand car is cheap, only a few thousand yuan, but the fuel consumption and repair costs are enough to make people headache. Watching others drive into the car one by one with money or not, his wife has to squeeze the bus every time she goes back to her parents' house, looking at the ridiculed expressions of others, and what good face there is for him when he comes back.

This also can't complain about his wife, in terms of figure and appearance, I think she was also a flower in school back then, and her suitors were like clouds, but the result was that she married him who was mediocre. After so many years, when I talked about this, my wife said with a grudge that she was really blind at the beginning, and it was better to follow anyone than with you. It can be said that when it comes to life, Liu Ze really can't find the slightest flaw in his wife, he is diligent and thrifty, hard-working, and his 20-odd dwelling is often spotless, and after a hard day of work, he has to bring delicious meals to the table for the family to enjoy, according to her words, children are growing up when they are healthy, and the most indispensable thing is nutrition.

Thinking of his wife, Liu Ze's heart warmed, and at the same time, he felt a deep guilt. The years are like knives, her sideburns have a few more strands of gray hair, the corners of her eyes have added a few wrinkles, the pretty face of the year has gradually faded away, and her charming figure has lost her curves, but her beauty has always been in his heart and has never faded. More than ten years of mutual affection, more than ten years of never abandoning, in the plain time like water, they came over like this. Although they occasionally quarrel with each other, the reason is nothing more than the neighbor buying back a new car or a colleague living in a new building, etc., the competitive wife will quarrel at this time to vent, but the matter has passed, and life is still moving along the same trajectory. But every time at this time, Liu Ze is very ashamed, because of his incompetence, he can't give his wife a better life, and the poor couple mourns everything.

After the last passion, Liu Ze stroked his wife's smooth back, discussed with her and said, why don't you go to learn a driver's license, let's buy a car first, we can't afford the expensive ones, and QQ and the like are okay. My wife thought about it and said let's pay the down payment first, the price of the house in the suburbs is acceptable, the children are older, how can I change to a big house, or every time I make love with you, it will always be like stealing.

They have two children, the eldest is a boy who is in his first year of high school, and the youngest is a daughter, who is three years old and is in kindergarten. The three-year-old daughter Niuniu is obedient and sensible, and as soon as she enters the house every day, she pounces on her from afar, "Dad-" and hugs his neck and kisses him non-stop. This moment is undoubtedly his happiest.

At the street store, he bought two lollipops, his daughter's favorite snack — when other kids were tired of McDonald's Kentucky Chicken, he could only buy two lollipops to make the kids happy. As he watched the child lick the lollipop with relish, his heart ached. He is a man, he has the responsibility to hold up an umbrella for his wife and children to shelter from the wind and rain, and he also wants to work hard and change the dilemma of life with his own ability.

Liu Ze was born in the countryside, his mother was a farmer, his father was an ordinary worker, in the 70s, with only his father's monthly salary of 28 yuan and seven cents, a family of seven people lived a very poor life, Liu Ze was a child gnawing cornmeal nest and wearing the old clothes of his brothers and sisters. When he was in school, he was very biased, full marks in history and geography, and his Chinese and math scores were okay, but he learned English as a mess, and the twenty-six letters were mixed up to be known, and he was ignorant when they were combined.

After graduating from middle school, Liu Ze began his part-time career, when he was young and frivolous, and he once thought that he could break out of the world with his ability and perseverance. He burned coke in a coking plant, dug coal in a coal mine, made steel in a small rolling mill, burned porcelain in a magnetic kiln factory, worked as a sparring partner in a martial arts school, worked in sales, ran a business, and worked in pyramid schemes (he belonged to the lowest part of the pyramid), and finally worked in electrical repair. After walking more roads, Liu Zecai understands the bumps in the road better.

All the trials of life are a kind of wealth - this is what a fortune teller with a white beard and a fairy look like he said to him.

Liu Ze smiled, this fortune teller is about to become a philosopher! Wealth? Joke! In this society, it is not the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich, there is no father to fight and no connections available, if the working class wants to change their predicament, it can be said that the ideal is too plump, but the reality is very skinny.

It was almost dark, and Liu Ze rode a motorcycle instead of taking the asphalt road, but turned onto a dirt road that was not hardened. If you take this road home, you can save half an hour's drive, and in order to rush home and reunite with his family, today he chose this difficult side mountain dirt road.

He had walked this road a few times before, and he didn't feel anything special except for a little bumpy, but today it seems to be a bit of an exception.

There was a rumbling sound in the distance, faintly dusty, and the birds that had already returned to their nests flew into the air with a scream, and Liu Ze also felt that the earth was trembling.

Earthquake? A thought crossed his mind, but he quickly denied it, it wasn't like an earthquake, it was supposed to be a collapse. Because of long-term coal mining in this area, the underground ore body layer has formed a cavity, which has caused a large area of goaf, and some time ago there have been small-scale collapse events one after another, and the wall has collapsed and broken where it passes, and it is shocking.

Liu Ze saw that the situation ahead was not good, so he quickly turned around, but the damn rotten motorcycle turned off, and he couldn't step on it. And the fracture and collapse zone stretched rapidly towards him like a rapid fire, and the sound was deafening, and the dust covered the sky and the moon. Liu Ze didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and decisively abandoned the car and fled.

But the speed of the collapse was faster than he could have imagined, and before he could leap over the girder, he felt that his feet were empty, and the whole land was sinking rapidly. He leaped with all his might, his hands on a bush on the edge of the cliff, and his whole body hung in the air. He glanced down, and through the flying dust, it was completely a bottomless black hole, and it would be absolutely retrievable if it really fell down.

Liu Ze used all his strength to climb the cliff, but his feet were suspended in the air, and there was nothing to step on, how could he climb up with the strength of his arms alone. Time is passing minute by minute, his body is also passing bit by bit, the soreness of his arms is no longer able to support his weight of a hundred or dozens of pounds, his brain is almost numb, a desperate sadness runs through his entire soul, farewell, warm home! Farewell, my beloved wife and children!

He closed his eyes in agony, tears slid down his cheeks, and at last, like a kite with a broken string, fell into the infinite darkness......
