"Four eyes? How do you go with her? "Probably out of concern for my brother, I didn't suppress my curiosity.

Four Eyes put on his black-rimmed glasses that covered half of his face, spread his hands, and said, "I can't help it." ”

"Don't blame him, I asked him to bring me here." It seems that it was because of my dissatisfaction, Li Xueer hurriedly explained.

"What? Don't dare to see me? "For Li Xueer in front of me, I think I just know her, not even an ordinary friend. Moreover, this incident started because of her, and although I can't blame her entirely, I blame her somewhat in my heart.

What I didn't expect at all was that she had a relationship with those gangsters in society, and used me to achieve her goals, this girl is not simple. Causing something like this to happen today, making me the way I am now, I have no need to be polite and polite to her.

"Reiko, I don't think she can be blamed for this." Four Eyes explained for her.

"You're here to be a lobbyist today?" I looked at the four eyes and was very angry, the weight of a good brother in my heart should not be like this.

"No, I went to the library and was dragged by her." Four eyes were a little anxious, and they strongly defended. I know that a lot of times he is not good at explaining.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, you don't need to find my brother as a lobbyist." I don't want to embarrass the four eyes, and I can guess the helplessness of his embarrassed refusal, and I can't really pull down my face to embarrass Li Xue'er, although the tone is still cold, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that I have obviously made concessions.

Li Xue'er realized that the appearance of the four eyes had helped her a lot, and her eyes showed her gratitude to the four eyes. She said to me, "Thank you for listening to me, but now is not the time, I'll come back tomorrow." Then I'll go first. ”

As soon as the words fell, she actually put down the fruit basket, turned around and left.

"What's the situation?" Four Eyes and I were relatively speechless, obviously not understanding the meaning behind the girl's actions, let alone what the girl's brain capacity was.

"Don't get too close to her." After Li Xue'er left, I reminded my brothers around me.

I was surprised by the appearance of the eighth master, he came in after the four eyes went out, and with reassuring news.

"Don't worry, the school won't let you drop out."

As if he knew what I was worried about, the eighth master sent good news. These words lifted my spirits, and the worries in my heart for many days can finally be realized.

This time, I really have to thank the eighth master, because it is not far from the guard room, and the eighth master found out that the situation was wrong in time. Otherwise, with my state at the time, the consequences would definitely be unimaginable, and I didn't even notice that the other party had a dagger.

I have to thank the eighth master even more, it is he who is old, and he carried me to the guard room alone, and called everyone to be notified, including the hospital expenses, which was also paid by the eighth master. Of course, these things are just what they told me.

The eighth master has not come to the hospital for the past three days because he is busy walking around the school for my business. With his hard work in the school for many years, he worked with the school leaders to win a good result for me not to be dropped out of school.

Looking at the old man sitting next to my bed, there was not much gray hair left, and his face was a little haggard after the baptism of time, after all, he was already in his sixties, and he felt very tired after many days of traveling.

At the same time, I was surprised that his beard was clean and his dress was very energetic, and I could see that he had cleaned himself up with his heart today.

"Thank you!" Completely in true feelings, without pretentiousness, I looked at the old man in front of me and remembered my grandfather, who had passed away.

"Don't be polite to me, I'm already a member of my family." The words of the eighth master surprised me.

"Is it because of my third uncle?" I knew that they must know each other, and they were not shallow, so I took this opportunity to ask tentatively about the confusion in my heart.

"Did your third uncle tell you?" The eighth master was a little surprised.

"No, guess."

The eighth master seems to be in a tangle in his heart. Often the atmosphere freezes because there are many things that I want to say, but I don't know how to say them.

"If that hadn't happened, I would have a grandson of your age." The eighth master finally spoke, but such a nonsensical sentence came out.

I didn't say anything, just looked at him while waiting for him to continue.

"I owe you your third uncle, and I shouldn't be able to pay it off in this life." Sure enough, after the eighth master took a deep breath, he opened the shelf.

I listened carefully to his story, and also had a new understanding of the old man in front of me and the third uncle in my memory.

The eighth master's real name is Zhang Youquan, he is not a local, he is from the countryside like me, to be precise, he and I are from the same township.

When he was young, he was a well-known mason in the township, in the early nineties in the rapid development of the countryside, the mason is a very popular craft, there will always be some people who have become rich first, busy asking them to help build a new house, the eighth master also with exquisite craftsmanship, has become the township of the fragrant bait, a year will always be connected to the construction of three or four new buildings.

The eighth master has always made a living with his own craft, and he is also very proud of his work, because his craft is better, and there is no stream of people who come to learn from him, he will always take two or three apprentices to go out to work.

At that time, the third uncle was just in his early twenties, and because of poverty, he stopped going to school after graduating from junior high school, and had been working in the family farm for several years, but even the problem of food and clothing was only about to be solved. In order to find a way out of life, and in order not to be willing to be just a farmer, whenever the farm is not working, the third uncle has become a frequent visitor to various construction sites, earning money to subsidize the family, and also looking for his own future path.

The division of labor at the construction site of the country is relatively simple. Masons who know how to craft are called great craftsmen, who are responsible for the preparation and construction of the whole building, and some people directly contract the next small project, which is quite the authority of some leaders. Those who don't know how to do craft, can only do miscellaneous work for big workers, move bricks and cement or something, collectively referred to as small workers, usually listen to the arrangements of big workers, and generally do temporary work when the farm is slack, earn some money, and do not delay farming.

At that time, the laws and regulations were not perfect, especially in remote places like the countryside, and there were no contract terms to talk about. Often the owner with less money, in order to save expenses, just invite large and small workers to come to work, manage two meals a day, deduct wages to death, and wait until the project is completed to settle the payment, and do not know when it will be settled. In order to save trouble and not worry, they will often contract the entire project to a certain big worker, settle a part of the money first, and then the big worker will recruit people to do the work, this kind of work big worker income is relatively high, has the right to speak, and is more willing to do. The eighth master especially likes to take on this kind of work.

The third uncle was young at that time, had no skills, and could only do the work of small jobs, and he had always done his duty, and his reputation was good, and he could basically find a job to do smoothly every time. In order to save the cost of small work, accepting apprentices has become the main way to save money for the eighth master, after all, apprentices are here to learn the craft, and the wages are very little or even not given. It is also because the apprentices receive too much, and the eighth master slowly begins to desire the apprentices who can really pass on the mantle to the trust.

One needs people, the other needs work, in such a situation, the lives of the third uncle and the eighth master have the possibility of overlapping.

"Your third uncle is a good boy." The eighth master recalled that past, and his eyes were full of sadness.
