2. Be patient, suffering is a blessing

Break until three o'clock at noon.

Everyone is in the shade of the tree, gossiping and gossiping, and sleeping and sleeping.

Zhang Nanyan wrote an English text. She was silent and silent, but she didn't dare to speak. The children in the mountains, English listening and reading are too poor, and there are 30 listening questions in the college entrance examination, and Zhang Nanyan is most worried about this.

Lu Chao did not leave in order to accompany Nanyan. I couldn't leave with the driver, the driver was angry and didn't dare to make a sound, and he had a black face and no sound at noon.

Lu Chao sat on the side and looked at Nanyan.

Zhang Nanyan read the dictated text, and finally showed a satisfied smile.

Lu Chao was stunned.

Just now, the swallow lowered his head and read the book, frowning and pouting slightly, he thought the swallow was good-looking. Now Zhang Nanyan raised her eyebrows and smiled, Lu Chao's heart was as sweet as drinking a big mouthful of honey, it turned out that the swallow looked the best when she smiled.

"It's time, let's get to work!"

The foreman greeted him, and everyone got up, picked up shovels and hoes, and walked to the middle of the road.

Zhang Nanyan also hurriedly put the book into a plastic bag, put it on the ground under the tree, and then put on the sunhat, and put his hand on the ground, to get up.

Lu Chao had already reached out to pull.

Zhang Nanyan looked at Lu Chao's hand and was reluctant to let him pull it.

Lu Chao didn't care, bent down, grabbed Zhang Nanyan's arm with his palm, and pulled her up.

Zhang Nanyan was ashamed and angry, she had already made it clear to Lu Chao, why was he still like this!

Lu Chaohan smiled: "Swallow, do it leisurely, don't get tired." ”

I wanted to scold him, but I couldn't scold him, she was so big, Zhang Nanyan didn't talk to anyone out loud, only her parents scolded her at home, and even her younger brother, who was one year younger than her, yelled at her all day long. Besides, I can't help but admit that Lu Chao is really good to her, and always brings her food and drink, even if she blackens her face, he won't be angry, and he will come with a smile next time. Stretch out her hand and don't hit the smiling person, she is not a person without conscience.

"Lu Chao, I won't get married, I want to go to university." Zhang Nanyan once again said solemnly to Lu Chao.

"You're so smart, you'll definitely pass the test." Lu Chao said with a smile.

No one ever thought she could go to college, and her parents were even angry when they heard her say she wanted to go to school. Now hearing Lu Chao say this, Zhang Nanyan couldn't help but be grateful, and whispered: "I'm going to work." ”

Zhang Nanyan trotted away.

"Swallow!"

Zhang Nanyan stopped and looked back at Lu Chao.

Lu Chao grinned and smiled: "Yanzi, you look so good when you smile!" ”

There was a lot of coaxing in the crowd.

"It's hard to part with the little two!" "Chao, hurry up and let your dad mention it!"

Zhang Nanyan was annoyed, stomped her feet, turned around and ran to work, and ignored Lu Chao.

Lu Chao looked at a group of men and women with big arms and round waists, Zhang Nanyan's slender body was like a beautiful flower waiting to bloom, and his heart burned fiercely.

He jumped neatly into the co-pilot of the pickup truck and shouted at the driver: "Hurry up! Walk! ”

The driver was excited, and his sleepiness was gone. I started the car, kicked the accelerator, and the pickup truck roared down the highway towards the city.

……

After getting off work, Zhang Nanyan and her co-workers sat in the back bucket of the tool cart and went to the city.

Tool carts drive down the winding road. The men sat in the back of the car, talking and laughing, with shovels under their buttocks, and when they encountered the unfinished section, their butts flew upside down, and the women shouted and laughed.

It's the most relaxing time of the day.

Zhang Nanyan faced the whirring wind, watching the green mountains and green trees on both sides slowly retreat, cool and relaxed, forgetting all the troubles for the time being.

After driving for 40 minutes, the tool truck arrived at the county seat, drove 200 meters along the Yellow River Road, turned left into a narrow road, the road was paved with uneven cement slabs, and there were houses on both sides of the road.

Such a narrow road is also called Xueyuan Road, and the urban villages on both sides of the road are not called Xixiu New District.

The migrant workers all scolded the people in the city for being hypocritical.

But Zhang Nanyan likes the county seat and likes every road with a beautiful name.

She loves Xueyuan Road. Every morning, before dawn, they would get on a tool cart and drive to work on a construction site thirty miles away. In the evening, I will return here in the tool cart. The road under the wheels was very bumpy, waking the workers from their sleepiness in the early morning, and loosening the muscles and bones of everyone after a day's hard work in the evening. Everyone scolded, what a broken road, there is no flat dirt road in the village.

But in such bumps, Zhang Nanyan felt that her dream had taken shape, as long as she worked hard and earned money, she could enter the campus again, take the college entrance examination, and leave the mountains far away.

The tool cart was parked in front of a small courtyard. This is the accommodation rented by the contractor for the workers, a two-story house, the men live on the first floor, the women live on the second floor, the kitchen is in the yard, and the public toilet is about ten meters behind the house.

The car stopped, and everyone jumped out of the car.

"It's still five o'clock tomorrow morning!" After the driver shouted, he couldn't wait to step on the gas pedal and drove home.

Zhang Nanyan held the book and followed everyone into the courtyard gate.

She hurried up to the second floor, put the book on the bunk, and hurried downstairs to prepare for cooking.

Cooking is Zhang Nanyan's job.

In the beginning, the women took turns cooking. But after a day of heavy work, they were so tired that they wanted to lie down and rest, and the women had opinions. For who should get up early to cook, who should cook uneatable and lazy, everyone had a big quarrel and made the big boss over.

Boss Lu first said: "Otherwise, I will buy food for everyone, and the company will pay half of the food expenses, and half of it will be deducted from the salary." ”

Of course, the big guys are not happy, they are all out to make money, how can they let the money be deducted.

When there was a lot of trouble, Zhang Nanyan stood up timidly, "I'll do it." ”

Boss Lu made a decision on the spot and gave Zhang Nanyan an extra 100 yuan per month, which was used as the salary for cooking.

Zhang Nanyan put the book away and hurriedly washed the vegetables and cooked.

The kitchen is in the west corner, and there is a brick house with a stove in it. Zhang Nanyan Mali lit firewood, put a big iron pot on the shelf, cut the potatoes into large pieces, and stewed beans and vermicelli into the pot.

After a while, the smell of food wafted out.

The big guys all hold bowls, fill a bowl full of potato vermicelli, take a steamed bun, and eat it.

After a hard day's work, the meal was extra fragrant.

After eating, the men gathered around to play cards, and the women washed their clothes and laughed.

Zhang Nanyan cleaned up the kitchen, went back to the dormitory on the second floor, and began to read.

At eight or nine o'clock, everyone came upstairs and got ready for bed.

"Swallow, you're still reading, it's time to sleep."

"Hmm." Zhang Nanyan answered, picked up the book and walked out.

"Swallow, don't look at it, go to sleep, I'll get up early tomorrow to go to work." The sisters-in-law persuaded her.

"It's okay, I can't sleep early when I go to bed, I'll watch it later." Zhang Nanyan said with a smile.

She walked out of the room. A five-watt light bulb was installed in the hallway, so she moved a maza and sat under the lamp to continue reading.

Every night, Zhang Nanyan is like this, studying until eleven o'clock and then going back to bed.

Today, however, it is destined to be unpeaceful.

It was late at night, and the chatter of the women in the house had long since stopped, and the snoring of the men could be heard downstairs.

Zhang Nanyan was a little sleepy, she stood up, stretched her waist, and planned to go back to the house to sleep.

Zhang Nanyan moved her neck and looked out casually.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a black figure standing at the gate of the courtyard!

"Who!" Zhang Nanyan exclaimed.

The man raised his head suddenly, his face hidden in the darkness, but his gaze was crazy and terrifying to stare at Zhang Nanyan.

Zhang Nanyan was terrified, and her legs were weak with fright. She held her hand on the wall and trembled, "You, go quickly!" If you don't leave, I'll call someone to pull! ”
