Chapter 124: You Matter
“!” Shen Zilu was so frightened that she turned around and ran.
"Hey, what to run!"
The man's rough voice tore through the silence in front of her, and Shen Zilu was glad that the night was dark enough to hide the embarrassment of her escape.
Guan Zhengxing went to find prestige, the small door opened, the foreman walked in and locked the door, scolding as he walked, "Damn, dare to steal from Lao Tzu's head, and give you a discount on your legs." He turned back and shouted at the door, "Let me catch me next time, I won't have any good fruit to eat." ”
The curse attracted a few people in the shed on the first floor, the thin and tall worker was called Xu Jinxi, and the people in the construction site called him Xu San.
Hurried over, handed a cigarette and asked, "Zhangtou, what's wrong?" Look at what you off. ”
Sheet. The foreman took the cigarette and held it, and Xu San held a lighter to light it. The foreman sighed a few times and said, "Just now there was a little cub at the door who wanted to sneak in and steal something, but I was scared away when I shouted. ”
"You're amazing!" The words changed, "But Zhang Tou, now there are many people who are petty thieves, maybe it is still a gang, next time you meet such a person, you must not fight alone, call us all to bring guys, I don't believe that so many of us can't clean up a few of them." ”
The construction site lost steel bars and cement last month, the number is not much, and the police do not meet the standard of filing a case, but the thing is always lost, and the people above know it, and it is inevitable to count him a few words.
Sheet. The foreman dusted off his cigarette, took a sip and said, "Hmph, I'm afraid of them?" When Lao Tzu came out to mingle, they were still with the mud. ”
"Hey, hey, hey," Xu San smiled flatteringly, "Zhang Tou, I admire your character, it's stubborn!" ”
The rest of the people also followed the praise, Guan Zhengxing retracted his eyes, extinguished the cigarette, and put half of the cigarette into the cigarette box pocket, as soon as he turned around, the people in the house walked out, Guan Zhengxing called the master, Li Dexiang looked at a small group of people in the empty field and asked, "Thief?" ”
Guan Zhengxing snorted, "Zhang. Gong said he was scared away. ”
Li Dexiang looked at the buildings under construction, and then looked at the bustling night view of the city opposite, and couldn't help but sigh: "Now the world has changed, there are fewer people who are diligent and diligent, and there are more people who are crooked. ”
Guan Zhengxing was just about to turn around, a cool breeze hit from behind, his clothes were tightly wrapped around his body, and the moment the lightning split the night sky, it illuminated everything on the earth, as well as his indifferent face. He said, "Master, I'll go down and collect my clothes." ”
"Don't, I'll take it myself."
"I'll go."
The young man was diligent in his feet, and he had already run downstairs before he could speak.
Looking at the people who walked through the open space, Li Dexiang held on to the handrail and looked down, Guan Zhengxing gave him a good impression, he was young but very steady, he didn't rely on his family to earn his own tuition, he was diligent, he was not opportunistic, his brain was still smart, and he would be able to teach things over and over again. He has brought more newcomers, and there are very few people like him who only know how to do things without playing tricks.
There was a thunderstorm, the wind was strong, and the raindrops of beans pierced through the night and smashed to the ground, Guan Zhengxing ran back, holding the clothes of the two in his arms, and his back was already wet by the rain.
"Come into the house." Li Dexiang lifted the curtain, and the two of them went in one after the other.
Guan Zhengxing's workers' dormitory is less than 20 square meters, put ten bunk beds, live 20 workers, walk the aisle must be sideways to pass, the room is narrow in the hot weather, people stay in it stuffy and hot, and then there are people who have bad habits, and those who are too tired to change and wash infrequently, the air smell can be imagined.
Guan Zhengxing and Li Dexiang lived in the innermost upper and lower bunk by the window, Li Dexiang took the clothes and hung them on the beam of the upper bunk, Guan Zhengxing was just about to climb up. The bed, next to the worker's feet was facing the direction of his pillow, the unpleasant smell was uncomfortable, he held his breath for a few seconds and moved the pillow and the thin quilt to the other side.
When he first came, it was difficult for him to fall asleep, now he has adapted to it, turned over and took out his mobile phone to click, he forgot to charge it last night, and this morning he found that it had been turned off, plugged in the charger and turned on it after a few minutes, the time for the screen to jump, he still had something to look forward to, 2G network information has a delay, click on it and see that Shen Zilu's avatar shows twelve unread messages.
It has become a habit to watch the messages she sends every night, she is like a little chatterbox, and she is outputting messages in one direction every day, and there are a few times Guan Zhengxing almost couldn't help but reply to her messages, but thinking about the current situation, the line of words entered in the dialog box was deleted by him one by one.
On the night of his eighteenth birthday, Dai Meicui took out the agreement written with the old man of the Guan family, which clearly stated that after he turned eighteen, he would no longer provide any child support and living expenses, and his college expenses would all be borne by himself.
Originally, he was about to go to the sales center to distribute leaflets, but when he passed through the labor market, he heard Zhang. The foreman shouted that Sino-Ocean Construction was recruiting short-term workers, with a daily salary of 220 yuan. For him, this is a lot more profitable than a 40-day-day job of handing out leaflets. The first two days down, the whole person was tired and collapsed, he couldn't even hold chopsticks when eating, his hands trembled like a sieve, he wanted to sleep when he went back to the dormitory at night, but he had to hold on to take a bath with a sweat smell, there was a temporary water room built by a worker behind the shed, and there was a faucet for bathing, not even hot water, after taking a cold shower back to the dormitory, he smelled other people's sweat and couldn't sleep, he was always sleepy during the day due to lack of sleep, One afternoon, he was fixing steel bars on the seventh floor in the heat of the heat, and his eyes were so dark that he almost fell, if it wasn't for Master Li tying a rope behind his back, maybe something would have happened that day.
After that, Guan Zhengxing returned to the dormitory and forced himself to sleep, and he got used to it after a week.
There is no hardship that cannot be endured, and there is no hurdle that cannot be endured.
Life is not easy, and he realized it earlier than many of his peers.
The last message he saw Shen Zilu send was-
Know it or not, you're important.
is a particularly bland sentence, but Guan Zhengxing has mixed feelings in his heart.
At home, he had already become an insignificant person, but in her mouth, he had become an important person.
Guan Zhengxing turned off his phone, turned over and buried his face in the pillow......
At that time, Shen Zilu took off. The next wet clothes, the aunt thought outside the bathroom door, "Before I go out, I will remind you that there is rain today, let you bring an umbrella, you don't want to bring it, now it's okay, and the water is fished out from head to toe." ”
"Okay, Auntie, I know it's wrong." Shen Zilu opened the water valve, and the warm water poured down from the top of his head to drive away the cold.
Cui Anya took the change of clothes and put them on the washstand in the bathroom, and said to the people in the bathbox: "Xiaolu, Nei. The clothes are here. ”
Through the hazy mist, Shen Zilu responded, "Got it, Mom." ”
After taking a bath, Shen Zilu came out with her hair wrapped, and her aunt hurriedly pulled the person back, "Blow dry and come out again, I have a headache when I sleep with wet hair." ”
Shen Zilu stood in front of the washing mirror, her aunt took a hair dryer to help her blow, the warm wind lifted her long hair and tickled her face, Shen Zilu brushed off the hair at the corner of her mouth and said, "Auntie, do you have any food?" ”
"Yes, you didn't eat at night?"
Shen Zilu snorted, "Hmm...... I didn't eat too much, and the dish was a bit unappetizing. ”
"After blowing your hair, I'll go down to hot the dish."
"I'll blow it, you go hot dishes."
Shen Zilu took the hair dryer, and the aunt went downstairs to the kitchen, and Shen Kangnian passed by with a teacup, "It's really a day to play." ”
"Hehe...... Shen Zilu smiled, "Dad, I've been studying hard for 12 years, and now I don't have anything else to do, so let's just play, besides, when everyone starts school and goes to different universities, how many chances will we have to meet." ”
"Dad didn't let you go out to play, just don't play too late, it's too late Dad is worried."
"Got it, not next time."
Auntie hot dishes, and cook a bowl of small rice balls for Shen Zilu, she likes to eat soft and glutinous food the most, the refrigerator at home is always stocked with various flavors of rice balls, she likes to eat black sesame seeds and peanut kernel stuffing the most.
Scooping up a spoonful of glutinous rice balls and just putting them in her mouth, my aunt asked her while cleaning up the cooking table: "Sheng Hailuo is also drenched." ”
"Uh...... yes, everybody's wet. ”
The aunt said: "The child is the child, and I forget the time when I play." ”
Shen Zilu agreed, but he was absent-minded, his mind was full of Guan Zhengxing's affairs, how could he be on the construction site.
"Xiaolu, Xiaolu,"
shouted a few times upstairs before Shen Zilu heard, "Dad? ”
Shen Kangnian said: "I'll come up and play chess with my dad in a while." ”
"Whoa."
The father and daughter played chess for more than a while, and in the end their eyelids were so sleepy that they fought, "Dad, I'm sleepy, I'll sleep after this game." After saying that, he yawned.
Cui Anya walked over, "Okay, don't go down, you didn't see what Xiaolu was sleepy into." ”
Shen Kangnian insisted on playing chess before Shen Zilu returned to the room. Lie in bed. , Shen Zilu called Guan Zhengxing again, and the phone came with a shutdown prompt, and the Q.Q message did not reply. Annoyed, she sent him the last message before going to bed—
Guan Zhengxing, I wish you a nightmare tonight!
Click, turn off the lights.
……
Following.
Guan Zhengxing got up before 5 p.m. to get to work, and the dump truck carrying sand was parked in the construction site, and he had to shovel the sand into a bag with another worker, and then push it into the elevator with a wheelbarrow. By noon, the sun was blazing, and people couldn't open their eyes, the sweat on his body soaked through his overalls, and there was a large sweat stain on his back.
Shen Zilu was dragged by her aunt to accompany her to the store to buy clothes in the morning, and she came back at almost eleven o'clock, and she arrived here without a half-rest.
She didn't know what to say when she saw Guan Zhengxing, in short, she hadn't seen her for two weeks, just come and see her.
Shen Zilu parked his bicycle at the gate of the construction site of Sino-Ocean Construction, and saw a worker sitting in the shade of a tree, with a small notebook on his lap and counting the construction vehicles coming out and entering, the dirt road where the wheels were running over raised dust, and the huge noise generated by the engine of the truck and the machinery in the construction site covered Shen Zilu's footsteps.
She walked towards the man and stood behind him and called, "Uncle, uncle." ”
'Boom...... Jingling...... Bang-'
"Uncle," Shen Zilu walked up to the worker to block his view, and the latter was startled, "Uncle, hello, I'm looking for someone, his name is Guan Zhengxing, do you know where he is?" ”
Suddenly, a dump truck passed by.
"Who?" The worker asked.
Shen Zilu shouted in his voice: "Guan Zhengxing-"
"Oh, that boy," said the worker, looking left and right, pointing to the man carrying the sandbag with his back to them in front of the elevator, "there it is." ”
Shen Zilu ran over, and the workers hurriedly shouted: "The construction site is not allowed to enter the construction site, safety helmets, safety helmets ......"
Guan Zhengxing put down the sandbag, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, turned around and went to pick up another bag, and just held the corner of the bag and was about to pull it on his shoulder, a pair of white four-leaf clover sneakers suddenly appeared in his sight.
As soon as Guan Zhengxing raised his head, he bumped into a pair of clear eyes without warning, and the whole person froze there......
