Shengyang is diligent every day, carefully arranging his work. Wang Cheng and the others often go out to drink and play, and he said that he stayed in the dormitory when he was tired. In addition to Shengli's monthly expenses, his money also has to be provided for his family, and he can't spend it casually. When Katsuo got married, he used two deniers of food, but now that society has changed, he needs money, so he thinks that if there is a surplus, he will save it to marry his daughter-in-law.

On this day, the project manager inspected the progress of the project, the contractor foreman was busy with a careful introduction, and the leader listened to the command. Xiujuan saw that several people were sweating profusely when they were inspecting under the sun, so she asked Shengyang to run and take the bottled mineral water from the security room and give it to them.

Shengyang quietly handed the water to the supervisor next to the contractor and left, the leader paid a little attention to Shengyang, watched the emaciated figure leave, and had a sympathetic thought. Shengyang is a handyman and can move around freely, he returned to Xiujuan's side and asked curiously.

"Sister, why did you let me deliver water?"

"Give you a chance to be discovered."

"Found what?" He was confused, he felt that doing his job well was more important than anything else, and if he was discovered, if it was not a good thing, he would be fired, which would be even worse.

"Let's work first, and I'll talk to you in the evening."

"Then I'll say it's the water you asked me to deliver."

"Don't be so stupid, okay?" Xiujuan really convinced him.

At lunchtime, the boss of the contractor called him to the office and asked him what he thought about the work, and he was too frightened to say much.

"Boss, I think it's good, it's better than going to the coal mine before!"

"You've ever been in a coal mine?"

"Yes, for years." He replied truthfully.

"Was it your idea to deliver water today?"

"No, Sister Xiujuan asked me to send it." Boss Fang understood, this kid was sincere, no wonder the leader asked him to help him more. The reason why he is so unconfident in speaking may be because of one eye.

"If you were asked to learn a great job, would you be willing?" Boss Fang asked, this is something that Shengyang can't even think of. In this way, the salary is much higher, and it is simply a pie in the sky.

"Yes, thank you boss for giving me this opportunity." Shengyang bent down to thank him, Boss Fang smiled, he still knew how to be polite, and he was not stupid.

In the evening, Shengyang went to Xiujuan's dormitory to talk to her about it, and he was so happy. Xiujuan smiled, such a small thing can be happy like this, didn't he ever think about his future.

"Shengyang, you're 22 years old, what do you have in your head?" Xiujuan felt that he was too honest, and this kind of person was easy to be taken advantage of.

"What I have in my mind now is to thank you, thank you, sister." He really didn't understand what Xiujuan meant, in short, he was happy.

"How would you feel if I left tomorrow?" Xiujuan was tentative, Shengyang's head buzzed, and suddenly tears rolled out, and Xiujuan frowned. "I'm saying what if, why are you so serious?"

"Sister, actually, I hope you leave, you are smart and capable, you will definitely find a better job outside, and you will meet rich people who like you." He had thought hard about her words just now, and it might have been right to leave.

Xiujuan's heart was moved, she really likes rich people, but rich people won't like her. She is almost illiterate, and she can only wash dishes in the back kitchen when she enters the restaurant, and her salary is too low. Although the construction site is exposed to the wind and sun, the salary can be high. The sisters in the village made a lot of money working as ladies in out-of-town hotels, but she didn't want to do that.

"Sister can't read a few words, otherwise, you can teach me to read in the future, so that I will have a chance to meet rich people." Xiujuan said this, and Shengyang was excited that he could finally do something for her, and nodded in agreement.

Since then, the two have practiced and spelled in front of the dictionary every night, and Shengyang found that he had also improved a lot, and the words he didn't understand before slowly understood it thoroughly. For Xiujuan, he has infinite patience to teach, and also cooperates with the idiom dictionary to form sentences. Shengyang also suddenly became interested in reading again, bought a few poems and novels, and looked up the dictionary if there were those he didn't know.

Shengyang and Shengli are the opposite, a few words are very delicately written, and they look comfortable, and his grandfather has taught him atmospheric penmanship, but he can't correct it. Xiujuan's words were slowly corrected from the beginning of the skewness. Shengyang seemed to be much more confident, and Master Li saw that he was well-behaved and hardworking, and he liked him very much.

One day, they read, "As big is the heart, the stage is as big; Life is as far as the dream goes. Xiujuan asked about his dream again, and Shengyang still smiled and said that his dream was to let his family live a life of food and clothing.

"In the past, our family often didn't have enough to eat, so my uncle limited me to having only one child, and I couldn't support more. Now that I'm older, in addition to supporting my family, I also have to support my sister in college and my nephew in college. This should be my biggest dream. For a person like me, if he can marry a daughter-in-law and have a child, it will be beyond my dream. ”

I remember when I was in elementary school, a group of children surrounded him and bullied him, beat him, and made up a bunch of slips: one eye, ugly, deaf and deaf father, and a cousin is a rice bag, and the Zheng family is like beggars.

He has been bullied countless times, but he always can't figure out where he offended them, he was wronged and cried, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and was never let go. If it weren't for Katsuo by his side, his childhood would have been all dark. Now that I think about it, all the inferiority complex comes from when he was a child, he has a psychological shadow, and he always feels that others will discriminate against him and condemn him.

"The root of all this change is money, so you have to work hard to learn all kinds of jobs and then become your own contractor, so that you can make a lot of money and change the life of your family. If you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a wife? Xiujuan saw that he learned things quickly and had a good memory, but he had low self-esteem and didn't dare to think boldly.

"Sister, what kind of girl will take a fancy to me." For so long, this is the most daring question Shengyang asked, Xiujuan smiled.

"Of course, a good man must be matched with a good girl, and there will be a good girl waiting for you. It's just that you have to change yourself and be confident. It is said in the book that life is beautiful because of dreams, and life is wonderful because of hard work. Xiujuan has only studied for one year, which is the most regrettable thing in her life, she actually has the same dream as Shengyang, but she just hopes that men will be more responsible.

"Yes, the book also says, 'Books have turned me into a happy person, my life into a light and comfortable poem, as if the bell of a new life had been ringing in my life.'" Shengyang didn't know who Gorky was, but it seemed that all he said was his heart, and if he didn't read, he would never know this.

said this, he was still a little disappointed in his heart, he had long liked Xiujuan, and he was encouraged by her like this, and his hope was disappointed again. But to be with her often and to see her care about herself is enough. In her life, she was the only girl who looked up to herself, and she was grateful and continued to discuss reading.

"Look at this paragraph: 'In the early morning after the rain, the surroundings are empty, the fog is thick, the green peaks and forests are hidden from time to time, and the scenery is ethereal and empty, like a dream. The mist of Mishan swept away like clouds and water. The blue sky is thousands of miles, clear as washing, the mountains are secluded, the green trees are clear, revealing the outstanding style, making people feel relaxed and happy, such as drunk like a fairy. This seems to be the scenery of my hometown after the rain, standing on the top of the mountain, watching the white mist rise from the ravine at the bottom of the mountain, and I can't see the houses, like a fairyland, and the song of the birds, the mood is super quiet. From a distance, the mountains are undulating, overlapping and overlapping, like turbulent waves, like the reflection of the blue sky. But I can think of it, but I can't express it, this author writes too beautifully. ”

"It's a little incomprehensible, but it's beautiful. Mountains are an obstacle for many people, but for others they are enjoyment and wealth. It's not the mountains that stand in the way, it's the feet and the brains that stand in the way. Xiujuan knows that every rural child comes out with dreams and responsibilities.

"My sister said it so well, when I went out for the first time, I and my family were very scared, for fear of losing or being cheated. But as soon as you take the first step, the road will get wider and wider. I want to make money and go home and bring more people to get rich. He used to think that he should have done this, but now that he analyzes it, life seems to be brighter.

"You can't always be frugal when you work hard, you have to make yourself physically strong. Many times, we are being counted by life, not by us. For example, if you want to buy a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, you can sell cigarettes for one yuan a pack and a lighter for a dime at a store near you, but you have heard that a store farther away sells cigarettes for nine cents a pack. So you ran to a store a little farther away to buy it, and the lighter sold for two cents, the total price was the same, and you spent a lot of effort. Although Xiujuan said that she also saved, she would not be trivial, after all, the money was earned by herself, and she should spend some of it for herself.

Shengyang found that every word she said was very inspiring, and Society is really a great school. People who read it love life more and more, and cherish life more and more. Wandering in a foreign land, being able to meet such a good person to encourage him and help him is probably the most beautiful gift that life has given him.
