When I returned to the store, I had just climbed to the second floor and saw two renovation workers arguing violently.

A man of about thirty-five years old, holding half a brick in his hand, thin and arrogant, bared a mouthful of yellow teeth, pointed at an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in front of him, and scolded: "Fuck, where did you come from, what are you doing, what are you not enough to eat, are you here to mix money?" ”

After hearing this, the boy put on a proud and disdainful posture, he glared at the man, and responded in a low voice: "It's not you who pay me a salary, what kind of big-tailed wolf is here?" ”

I frowned, stood between the two, looked at the man and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Fuck, I don't know where the boss got this lazy seed, it's not as good as a bitch."

The man threw the brick to the ground and glared at the boy angrily.

The boy walked to the corner, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said angrily: "I have no experience in work, but you can't swear at all, you have no education at all." ”

"Who do you say is uneducated?"

The man let out a low roar and pounced on the boy.

I grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back with a little force.

"Don't make any noise, especially you, calm down, I'll call your boss, and if you continue to do this, it is estimated that it will not be completed next year."

I lost my patience, took out my phone, found the number of the renovation owner, and dialed it directly.

The man lit a cigarette and looked at the boy angrily, as if he was going to eat him alive, and his cold eyes showed a fierce light.

About half an hour later, the boss came, and when he saw the gloom and disgust on my face, he smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I'm looking for two workers to come over and ensure that the completion will be completed ahead of schedule." ”

I crossed my arms, glared at him, and said coldly: "It's best to be like this, when you sign the contract, it is very clear that if the second-floor residence cannot be delivered before the year, then don't think about the rest of the final payment." ”

After hearing this, the boss hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed me one, I waved my hand to decline, his expression was a little embarrassed, he lit it, looked at me with a humble face and said, "Don't worry, I will never use these two workers." ”

"You can do it yourself."

I glanced at the two workers standing behind him and walked away without looking back.

When I came to the warehouse, I saw that the water stains on the floor had completely dried, and after a few days of opening the windows for ventilation, the smell of mold in the warehouse was also carried out by the cold wind.

I found a few large wooden boards, spread them on the ground, returned to the store, and saw the mountain of clothes, I frowned, Brother Scumbag and Qin Yan left, and now no one is willing to help me, so I can only do it myself.

I borrowed a small cart from the shop next door, put stacks of clothes in the cart, and started the day's work.

I walked back and forth more than twenty times, and then I felt that my strength was seriously overdrawn, my cheeks were covered with sweat the size of beans, my legs and feet were stiff, and my head was dizzy, I gasped for breath, sat down on the steps of the warehouse, and lit a cigarette.

"It's not bad to pay two porters."

I muttered to myself that I had worked hard all morning, and since I hadn't even finished moving a third of it, I just felt a little overwhelmed and exhausted.

With a cigarette in my mouth, I walked out of the store and drove to the labor market, where I found that it was empty and very deserted.

I went to the agency again, and saw that the whole street was depressed and empty, and a few newspapers were swept into the air by the wind, and after a few turns, they slammed on the roller shutter door with a rattling sound.

I sighed lightly and scolded in a low voice, "Damn it, there are people everywhere when you don't need them, and they all fucking disappear when you need them." ”

I returned to the store in discouragement, and saw Wang Ling's car parked on the side of the road, I frowned, feeling a little surprised, didn't she say that she was going to play abroad, why hadn't she left yet?

"You're back?"

As soon as I walked into the store, she jumped up to me and grabbed my arm, her face full of charm and charm.

I bared my teeth, broke free from her, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”

"Of course I'm looking for you."

She pursed her thin lips and looked at me with a squint.

I rubbed the wound on my arm, glared at her and said, "Pay me back, I'm short of money now." ”

"I don't have any money."

She blinked her beautiful eyes, and said innocently, like a wronged child, with an incomprehensible look on her delicate cheeks.

"You don't have the money to drive a sports car?"

I gave her a blank look, walked over to the garment, picked up a large stack of clothes, and put it in the cart.

"All I have left is a car now, and that luxury store that doesn't make money, and I haven't had a full meal since I cut off my relationship with my dad."

She said sadly, as if she had become a poor person, which was very much in line with her heart.

Without a word, I picked up the cart and walked to the storeroom.

Wang Ling followed behind me and said softly, "I can help you work, I don't care if you want to be paid." ”

"Are you embarrassed to ask for wages?"

I let out a low growl and looked at her angrily.

She covered her mouth and smiled, and said coquettishly: "You really don't know what it means to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

I stacked my clothes neatly on the wooden board, looked at her and said, "Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? Oh, that's the scorer. ”

Wang Ling said nonchalantly: "Do you know the lover's knot? ”

"I know the Chinese knot, get out of the way."

I gave her a push, frowned, walked out of the storeroom, picked up the cart, and walked towards the store.

Wang Ling jumped up and down, and she said with a smile: "Hey, let's celebrate the New Year together." ”

I ignored her, picked up a refrigerator-sized cardboard box, and walked to the storeroom with great difficulty.

Wang Ling also picked up a small stack of clothes and followed behind me.

"Didn't you say you were going to travel abroad? Why haven't you left yet? ”

I stacked the cardboard boxes in the corner of the warehouse and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

Wang Ling handed me the clothes in her hand and said softly, "It's boring for me to walk alone." ”

She took out a few tissues from her bag, handed them to me, and said, "Besides, I don't have any money now, so I can't leave anywhere." ”

"Don't cry poor here with me, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, I don't believe that you are penniless and have nowhere to go now."

I took the tissue and wiped it on my face, Wang Ling glared at me, and swore that "I really don't have any savings at all, and the few cards I only have have been frozen, and I'm thinking about whether to sell the car." ”

I sighed for a while, looked at her and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether I sell it or not." ”

"Hmph, cold-blooded man."

She muttered softly, tucked the bangs scattered across her forehead behind her ears, sighed softly, and squatted on the ground, her hands on her stomach, a pained expression on her face.

"What's wrong with you?"

I lit a cigarette and asked.

"Stomach, stomach ache."

I shook my head helplessly, took a cigarette in my mouth, and helped her up with one hand.

"You haven't done much work, but you've got a lot going on."

I helped her into the shop, dusted the couch, and sat her down.

Her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she said weakly, "You feel sorry for me?" ”

I laughed bitterly twice, looked at her and said, "No one can stare at each other and ignore it, and besides, you don't love everything, it's really annoying, you know?" ”

She frowned, bent over, and let out a few vague moans.

"Do you want to go to the hospital? If you have three long and two short things with me, I can't explain it to others. ”

After hearing this, she slowly raised her head, looked at me and said, "I'm hungry, you can make me something to eat." ”

I'm a little short of breath, after the scumbag brother left, my eating problem hasn't been solved, how can I have the heart to take care of others.

I looked down at my watch, at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for lunch, I looked at her, and said lightly: "There is only takeout here, do you like to eat or not." ”

"Don't be spicy, don't be salty."

A smile appeared on her face, the sweat on her forehead had slid down, and a crystal clear bead of sweat had gathered at the tip of her nose, her face was as white as paper, her expression was dull, and it seemed that she was really not pretending to be sick.

I took a long breath and whispered, "So what do you want to eat?" ”

"Sweet and sour pork ribs and pine nut corn."

When I heard this, I was puzzled and said, "Sweet, what's delicious?" ”

She glanced at me and said angrily, "I'm like this, can't you be kind to me?" It's a scorpion heart. ”

"I didn't let you come."

I muttered softly, picked up my phone, and ordered a bowl of beef noodles, a serving of rice, a sweet and sour pork ribs, a portion of loose corn, and two cans of beer.

About half an hour, the takeaway was delivered, Wang Ling instantly came to her senses, she broke off the chopsticks, grabbed a piece of pork ribs and gnawed it with relish.

I took a sip of my beer, looked at her and said, "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

She said loudly, regardless of her image: "It's so delicious, these are all mine." ”

I laughed dryly, but there were no words.

At this time, a renovation worker leaned on the stairs and shouted: "Boss, come and see, this bedroom seems to be leaking." ”

"Okay, come right now."

I took another sip of my beer, got up and walked to the second floor.

When I came to the second bedroom, I saw that on the side of the roof of the shed, there were traces of water soaking in a large area, and the newly scraped white was also soaked into white water droplets.

"What's going on?"

I frowned and looked at the decorators beside me.

"It is estimated that the upstairs bathroom is leaking, or the waterproof is not done well, and you can take a shower or something."

He paused and continued: "You might as well go to the third floor to have a look, there must be a leak, if this matter is not handled well, the second bedroom will not be able to be renovated." ”

"Okay, I'll take a look."

I patted him on the shoulder, strode downstairs, and saw Wang Ling sitting on the sofa, eating with a mouth full of oil, and two oil stains sticking to her white and tender cheeks.

"Why are you going?"

She looked at me with a puzzled look on her face and opened the box of beef noodles.

"Hey, that noodle is mine, I'll give you some rice."

I walked over quickly and snatched the beef noodles from her hand.

"Cut, stingy."

She gave me a blank look, a hint of disdain and disdain on her face.

I sighed deeply, put the beef noodles out of her reach, and walked out of the store.

When I got to the third floor, I was greeted by a foul smell, and I covered my nose and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, no one opened the door, I frowned, knocked a few more times, there was still no movement in the house, I sniffled, leaned on the door and listened carefully, and found that the sound of gurgling water could be vaguely heard inside, I thought to myself, could it be that the faucet forgot to turn off?

I saw that there was no one in the house, so I hurriedly went downstairs, took out my mobile phone, found Du Chenyu's number, and dialed it directly.

As soon as the prompt sounded, the other party answered the call.

"Hey, Brother Du, do you have a phone number for the property here?"

I asked anxiously, walked back to the store, and saw Wang Ling eating beef noodles with relish, I glared at her and walked out of the store again.

The other party was silent for two seconds, and said lightly: "Yes, is it Uncle Wang Tao?" ”

I was a little surprised, this voice was very familiar, and after being stunned for a moment, I asked softly, "Is it Xiao Ran?" ”

"Uh-huh."

I grinned and said hoarsely, "Where's your Uncle Du?" ”

"He went out and forgot to take his phone."

I haven't heard Xiao Ran's voice for a long time, and it seems to feel a little strange, so I smiled and said, "When Uncle Du goes back, don't forget to ask him to call back, Uncle has something important to look for him." ”

"Okay, got it."

I lit a cigarette and said lightly: "Xiao Ran, if you have time, you can come to my uncle's shop to play, I haven't heard you sing for a long time." ”

She fell silent, and after a moment, she said with a smile, "I'm not going, Uncle Du won't let me go to you." ”

After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a palpitation in my heart and asked in a low voice, "Why?" ”

Xiao Ran coughed lightly and said thoughtfully: "He said that if he stays with you, he will also become depraved." ”

"What kind of person is Uncle in your mind?"

I took a hard puff of cigarette, and I was already drenched in the blood of the dog scolded by Du Chenyu in my heart.

"Uncle is a good man, and he will get better and better in the future."

This sentence warmed my heart very much, and it was in vain for the care I had for her before.

At this time, a man in his thirties hurriedly walked by, I turned around and glanced at him, and saw that he was heading straight for the third floor, I hurriedly cut off the phone and quickly followed.
