Sometimes I wonder if this fire woke up my father who had been sleeping for decades, or whether these vicissitudes of life had sharpened my father like steel.

Ever since he came back from his mother's grave, his father seemed to have been chattering.

There are even times when he always says some strange things, and Zhao Xun doesn't understand them at all.

Towards the end of the year, the building was finally renovated.

It's just that this renovation is completely in accordance with the modern style, new furniture, new layout.

After his brother returned to Beijing, he called a sum of money not long after, and even he had already contacted the local construction workers.

When Zhao went to inspect the house, in order to express his gratitude, he also booked a private room in a nearby hotel.

Although it is not a large hotel, the faces of the workers are enough to show their joy.

These workers are very simple, there are migrant workers, some temporary workers in the local area, and even women.

One of the workers said that he was the furthest from home among their co-workers.

Every year, except for the Chinese New Year, he works in other places even when he counts nine cold days.

Wherever there is work, there is no fixed place to work.

There is no fixed economic income, and if it happens to be the peak season of employment, you may be able to earn about 200 yuan a day, and that may be the happiest time.

At this time, when he went on strike at night, he would call home to report that he was safe.

But in the face of expensive phone bills, it is always a few simple greetings every time, and then it is hastily hung up.

If you're unlucky, it's not uncommon for you to run into someone who is in arrears of wages.

Again and again, you don't even get back the little money you've earned, and sometimes you can't even find out where the foreman is.

Sometimes in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I finally returned home to reunite with my family, and I had to take the train to ask for accounts from others.

At that time, if you have a conscience, you can finally give you a part of your salary to let you have a good year.

If the foreman loses money at the end of the year, it is our own people who suffer in the end.

But there's really no way around it, because you're probably going to work with this foreman again next year.

I didn't dare to make too much trouble, so I gave those people some opportunities to take advantage of the loopholes.

It's really inappropriate to return empty-handed because of the Chinese New Year, and it's not good to send everyone away.

So they went to some shops where they usually came and went, and exchanged some fruit for the workers, or tobacco and alcohol, so that they could pay for part of the wages.

However, most of these things in exchange are bought at a high price, and they are several times more expensive than the ones sold in the usual stores.

However, most of the workers are honest sufferers, who know how to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the working people, and they have no backing.

In the end, I can only suffer by myself.

Zhao asked him if he was tired in this life?

The worker frowned and said:

"In order for the wife and children at home to have a hot meal, to be able to wear a cotton coat in winter, and the children will not be unable to distinguish between the north and the south and the east and west when they enter the city in the future.

At that time, Zhao Xun could be said to be the most difficult time, there was no job, coupled with his father's aging body, the family did not have any financial resources except for some subsidies given by his younger brother.

Maybe people are like this, the more sad people are, the more they cherish each other.

Looking at these kind uncles, Zhao Xun's heart couldn't help but feel a faint pain.

Zhao found a table full of dishes, enough for the two of them.

In the end, Zhao Xun also ordered two more bottles of moderately priced wine, but the workers did not drink them later.

One of the workers said:

"If we drink too much and drink too much, we can't do any work in the afternoon, and we can't do it well, so we won't stop cooking!"

When several workers finished eating and left, they also made a special trip to send back the two bottles of wine.

In fact, they don't have to do this at all, yes, how can there be such kind people in this world?

Maybe it's because of those workers, or maybe it's the reality of life that completely defeats Zhao Xun.

After that, Zhao Xun seemed to have completely let go of his figure.

Even she would never see herself as a college student again.

Zhao Zhao applied for the front desk, applied for the cashier, and even distributed flyers to passers-by in the streets and alleys, when various large shopping malls were on sale.

The house was put in place for nearly two months, and Zhao Xun proposed to his father that he wanted to move back to the building.

In fact, it's not that Zhao Xun wants to live in that big house with white walls and lights on, it's just that Zhao Xun doesn't want to watch his father suffer anymore.

Now the old house is also old, and it has only been a few days since I moved back, and it is still raining, and the roof is leaking like a water curtain hole.

After doing some small part-time jobs, although I was a little tired, my family's life was obviously much better.

Sometimes, even if it is something that his father is reluctant to eat, as long as he hears that it will be beneficial to the elderly in the family, Zhao Xun will buy it back.

I spent too much money on my younger brother before, but the consumption in Beijing is so high, seeing that Little Happy is growing up day by day, and he is about to go to kindergarten in a blink of an eye, and there are gradually more places to use money at home.

So Zhao Xun silently decided to save some money for his younger brother, thinking that he would have the opportunity to give it to Ziyi when the time came.

After lunch, as usual, Zhao Xun and his father went to take a lunch break.

Time flowed minute by minute, through the clouds, through the glass, and finally hit Zhao Xun's body, stretching his waist, very comfortable.

If the sun at noon is a hot girl, then the sun at this time is a little jasper.

Lying on the bed, through the thin curtain, Zhao Xun looked at the beating sea of clouds, whether it was a reproduction or creativity, but the hearty and flawless melancholy it brought to people was the most unique.

Fragments of fallen leaves are slowly falling under the eaves.

I haven't been back for a long time, and the birds, who don't know where, have built a nest under the eaves of the old house.

Through his fingertips, Zhao Xun seemed to see the slow time slipping through his fingertips.

Zhao Xun couldn't help but reach out to grab it, the warm light, like a gentle ribbon, like a wild mountain wind, surrounded Zhao Xun tightly, and the warmth made Zhao Xun full of energy.

Maybe no matter how sad the moment, you can be healed by the sunlight that spills into the room.

At least that's what Zhao Xun thinks in his heart.

In this warm afternoon, Zhao Xun didn't realize that his father had gone out early.

It's a rare good time, and I don't have much work in the afternoon, so Zhao Xun simply lay on the bed.

It wasn't until Zhao got up to make tea that his father came back.

As soon as my father entered the door, he laughed uncharacteristically.

Through the sunshine, that smile is like a child.

"Dad, where have you been?"

"I can't sleep at noon, I went out for a walk, hehe......"

"Is something going on, seeing how happy you are."

"Do you remember the old Liu family diagonally opposite our house before?"

"Old Liu's family? Is it the family that moved out so early? ”

"Yes, yes, that's their home."

"Well, remember, what's wrong with their family?"

"We were just playing chess in front of the convenience store, and we happened to meet their family when they came back, saying that they were coming back to go to his wife's grave."

"Uh-oh."

At first, Zhao Xun didn't pay much attention to it, but he never thought that his father was making an idea in his heart at this time.

A few days ago, his father was frightened by the fire, so Zhao Xun bought some tea that had the effect of defeating the fire.

When Zhao Xun turned around and was about to make tea, his father mentioned Lao Liu's family again.

"I saw the eldest son of the old Liu family."

"Oh, I've seen it when I was a kid before, so I guess I won't even recognize it on the street."

"Well, when I was a child, the young man was sloppy and sloppy, but now it's different, don't you see, standing in the crowd, he is tall and tall, and I heard his father say that he was admitted to graduate school, and now his job is quite stable, and his income is good."

"Oh, yes, that's good."

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"Nope!"

To be honest, Zhao Xun really didn't react to what his father said.

Since Wang Yi's incident, Zhao Zhao will not think too much about the other half.

Father saw that Zhao Xun was indifferent to his own business, it seems that it is useless to knock on the side, it is better to explain it directly and clearly.

"Why don't you meet? I left a phone call with Lao Liu's family, and they are in the town these days! ”

"Meet? What am I doing with them? ”

"This young Liu family, his son is also single now, I just think about ......"

Before his father could finish his sentence, Zhao Xun suddenly interrupted.

"Dad! What do you say? ”

I saw that my father was obviously frightened by Zhao Xun's roar.

Standing still, motionless, he said pitifully:

"What's wrong?"

In fact, Zhao Xun didn't know why her reaction was so big.

Even though she knew that this was her father's kindness, she just couldn't control her anger at that moment.

"Dad, what kind of thread are you pulling here, I can't even remember what people call me, why are you introducing him to me!"

"You'll just meet, listen to Dad, aren't the little girls and young men now all popular introductions? Look at the children of the old aunt's house next door, don't they also know each other on a blind date, don't mention how beautiful they were in those days. ”

"No matter what others do, I just don't need to, Dad, don't worry about me, my own business, I worry about myself."

"But I've told them all, so you'll meet ......"

"Dad!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xun held a cup of tea and put it in his father's hand.

"Tea, Dad!"

"Hey......"

It seems that there is basically no hope for the matter of finding a partner, so my father sighed earnestly and went to taste tea silently.
