The two of them almost walked to the gate of the courtyard before they saw the commissary that Gao Qi said, and the things inside were also very monotonous, and the two of them chose to choose again and then only bought five bottles of Yanjing beer from Beijing and two packs of spiced peanuts. Gao Qi also wanted to buy a few more packs of instant noodles, but was blocked by Li Jun.

With these things in their hands, the two turned around and walked towards the shed, walking on the asphalt road between the pines and cypresses, Li Junjue's all this was a little unreal, from a small village that was not remote but still a little barren to this brightly lit capital, all this was just a bumpy road and a halfway dream.

"Is Jun really going to do it?" Gauci had some remorse.

"It's all here, do you really want to be a deserter and go back in a circle?" Li Jun thought about the promise he made to his mother, "Isn't it just that the food is poor, the living is a little dirty, isn't the condition of our junior high school the same bad, and there are dead rats in the meal we ate at the beginning." ”

"Haha, that's what I said, I have happily eaten such an unpalatable meal for three years." Speaking of the suffering of the year, Gao Qi suddenly became enlightened.

The two of them talked about the people and things at the beginning and soon came to the shed, Yang Xinli's brother-in-law was sitting on their bed and chatting with Yang Xinli at the moment, and there were a few bottles of beer and some side dishes on their bedside.

"Thinking that the three of you just came here and couldn't stand the suffering, I just went to the store to buy some food, and came to my brother-in-law to have a drink with you and talk about your life in the past two months." Looking at the things that Li Jun and Gao Qi were carrying, Yang Xinli's brother-in-law smiled and moved his body to the side.

"Brother-in-law, you really know our brother." Li Jun smiled and took out the things he had just bought and put them next to a pile of things at the head of the bed.

"Haha, it's all like this, I first followed my uncle to work on the construction site and your mentality is the same, before I came, I always felt that everything was not a big deal, but when I came into contact with the real environment, my mentality changed all of a sudden, but no matter what, I have to stick to it, it not only exercises your body but also a kind of tempering of your will." Yang Xinli's brother-in-law smiled and said to the three people, and he didn't know how to open four bottles of beer, and each handed over a bottle.

"Come, drink, cheer you up today, tomorrow is the start of a new day." As he spoke, the brother-in-law lifted the sprinkler bottle in front of the three of them.

"Come, dry this glass of wine, no matter how hard and difficult the road tomorrow is, let's go together." Gao Qi is also arrogant at the moment.

After a few sips of cold beer, Li Junjue's whole body was much cooler, he stretched out comfortably, grabbed a few peanuts from the bed board and threw them into his mouth and chewed them slowly, listening to Gao Qi ask his brother-in-law all kinds of questions.

As the night wore on, the people sitting outside to enjoy the cool were all refreshing up on the edge of the pool and returning to the shed, and within a few moments the snoring sounded one after another.

The wine bought by Li Jun and Gao Qi plus the wine brought by Yang Xinli's brother-in-law, almost each of the four of them drank three bottles, and after a day's rush and an empty stomach, Li Junjue's head was a little dizzy.

Looking at Gao Qi's body in front of him, which was also a little shaky, he grinned and said to Yang Xinli's brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, if it's not like this today, will we have to go to work tomorrow, if you drink too much today, it's really a shame for you to not be able to work on the first day." ”

"Okay, you guys also wash up, go to bed early, and hope to make it through the first day of tomorrow!" Saying that, a smile appeared on Yang Xinli's brother-in-law's face.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you and we get together for the night." Not seeing Yang Xinli's brother-in-law's luggage, Gao Qi stood up and invited him to squeeze with the three of them for a night.

"You don't have to worry about it, my uncle still has a place for me to sleep, I'll go back and sleep well, I'll drive back to our hometown tomorrow, and there will be another group of people in a few days, and I will always be with you when I bring those people." Saying that, Yang Xinli's brother-in-law stood up and walked towards the door of the shed.

The three of them watched him disappear into the night, all stripped naked and came to the edge of the pool with a basin, each of them took a basin of cold water, rinsed it on their faces and bodies, and the cool water drove the heat from their bodies to make people feel cool and comfortable.

When the three of them returned to the plank bed, there were basically no more people who were still awake, and the entire shed was filled with thunderous snoring, Li Jun couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that this test has started now.

Yang Xinli also looked at Li Jun with a wry smile, but Gao Qi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, saying that he was fearless, and the truth was true, the three of them lay in their "palace" for a while, and Gao Qi also joined the army of snoring.

Li Jun tilted his head to look at the night outside the window, and from time to time there was a buzzing sound of mosquitoes trying to invade the mosquito net, thinking about his family, classmates, thinking about the past and the unknown future, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

The night of confusion was completely awakened by the shouts of getting up one after another, rubbing his worried eyes, Li Junjue felt that he was sore, and his body seemed to have reacted before he started to work, he pushed the sweet Gao Qi who was still sleeping next to him with his hand, and wanted to wake him up.

"Yes." Gauge rolled over to the other side, not wanting to get up at all.

Yang Xinli had also woken up, and pushed Gao Qi, who was unwilling to wake up, from his other side.

Gao Qi sat up with a stagger, looked at the still dark sky outside the window, stretched his waist for a long time, and then said heartlessly: "A new day starts like this?" , Jun, looking at your face is not very good, didn't you sleep well last night? ”

Li Jun said with a wry smile: "I really didn't sleep well, your heart is really big, I fell asleep when I lay down, I listened to everyone grinding their teeth, farting, talking in dreams, and having nightmares all night." ”

"Your adaptability is still not good, you have to learn from me in the future, and see that your buddies can adapt to the environment as quickly as possible, how can you do a good job without a good sleep." The three men threw the net tent on the top, then rolled up their luggage at the end of the bed, and took the basin to the sink and squeezed to wash.

After cleaning up, I followed the workers in the shed to the place where yesterday's meal was made and had breakfast. Breakfast didn't have the weird smell of last night, because in the morning there was only one person and one chopsticks pickles, and then there were still "bars" steamed buns and cornmeal porridge, and everyone ate as much as they could. Li Jun found that the least amount of food was that each person could eat three steamed buns, but the three of them could not eat even more in the morning, each of them only ate one steamed bun and drank a bowl of porridge.

After returning to the shed, Gao Qi wanted to lie down for a while, but a man who looked like a foreman walked up to them and said to the three of them: "You three are new here, I heard that you are still in high school, I guess you haven't done any heavy work before, and I also know your relationship, so let's do it, the three of you use a trolley to push the ash, and you don't have to worry about loading the car, you just need to transport the ash to the construction site smoothly, you don't have any problems, right?" ”

"It's just to push the ashes with a trolley, and there's no problem." Gao Qi was happy, after all, he didn't have to directly carry a shovel or other tools to do heavy work, and the three of them were still very satisfied with the job.

Yang Xinli's brother-in-law also walked into their shed at this time, nodded to the foreman and said hello, and the foreman told him about the arrangements for the three of them and left the shed to arrange the work of other workers.

"I'll leave in a while, this foreman has also followed my uncle from the beginning, I also told them about the three of you, he will take care of you when I am away, the job of pushing ashes is relatively easy, but it is not as easy as you think, since there is no ease here, the first thing you should pay attention to is safety." Saying that, Yang Xinli's brother-in-law patted him on the shoulder, and then they both glanced at Li Jun and Gao Qi.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry about going back, the three of us are not young, we will definitely pay attention to safety, thank you brother-in-law for taking care of you." Li Jun and Gao Qi responded to Yang Xinli's brother-in-law with a smile.

After Yang Xinli's brother-in-law left, the three of them were taken to the ingredient place on the construction site, and they also saw the said small cart, which was like a moving iron box, with two wheels underneath, and two iron pipe handrails at one end, and two hands pushed it forward.

Seeing the arrival of the three of them, the worker in charge of loading shouted: "New little doll, hurry up, one person and one car, let's decorate you less first, see that you are all fine skin and tender meat, it is estimated that you have not suffered much, I don't know what you think of running to this place to do this work, do you want to experience the hardships of the working people." Several people laughed as they spoke.

"Damn, you don't have to pretend less, look down on people less, our brother is not so unproductive, since he has come to do it, he will definitely be able to do it." Gao Qi looked unconvinced.

"Okay, let's see that the little brother has backbone, but let's do it first and then come and tell us this." As he spoke, he began to take a wide shovel and scoop up the stirred mortar from the ground and load it onto the tin cart.

Li Junjue's car began to weigh down, and he had to hold the two iron pipe armrests hard to keep the car balanced, and he observed Gao Qi and Yang Xinli at the same time to see that their arms were also tightened.

In the end, the car was not too full, and I don't know if it was supposed to be loaded so much or left a love for the three of them, and the three of them pushed the cart hard and followed the other cart people towards the construction site.

The car became heavier after walking, first of all, press the handrail of the cart hard to prevent the car from stilting backwards and scattering the ashes, but the ash in the car was still rippling from time to time with the walking, which increased the difficulty of controlling the car.

He looked at the two of them and frowned, but none of the three of them was crying out a pain, everyone was strong and stiff, and returned to the place where the ashes were loaded, and the worker who was joking with them just now said with a bright smile on his face: "How is it, do you feel anything?" ”

"Nothing! Come and load, and decorate more. Gauci still looked so unconvinced.

The car was pushing back and forth, Li Junjue's hands were already full of blisters, and the pain deeply stimulated his heart, but he just wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time, gritted his teeth and stiffened, without flinching at all. It's just that the blisters on the hands are worn out again, and when they come into contact with the sweat on the face, the sweat stimulates the wound and it is a strong stinging pain.

The footsteps are also becoming heavier step by step, both arms are a little numb, Li Jun looks up at the sun in the sky from time to time, hoping that it can rise to the middle soon, so as to end this morning's work early.
