Chapter 498
Lou Yanni doesn't cook her own business, but she knows how to settle accounts, she has also done business herself, and she can probably estimate the cost by looking at other people's stalls.
The two of them learned from others, squatting on the side of the road to eat, Xu Guodong accosted the workers next to him, Lou Yanni looked at the small stall, and when she settled the accounts, it was terrible, even if she didn't understand the local prices, they were raised a little, and the money she made would never be less.
“…… There is a lot of work here, it is very popular, a construction period is at least four or five months, and there is no time to rest after completion, you look at that piece, all waiting to build a mile. Next to him, Xu Guodong was chatting with the worker brothers, and Lou Yanni also listened to a few words.
"Where are we? We are all led by the foreman of the contractor, the foreman is the former family in the village, okay, follow your own people and don't suffer, little brother, if you come, I will introduce you, I look at your physique, it is very suitable for our ...... here"
"It would be better if you knew how to do some craftsmanship, you see the one over there who ordered two more meats, he is the one in our team who scrapes the wall, he has a hand in scraping the wall, it is flat and neat like a mirror, and he has a high salary."
"I just look forward to my baby growing up and coming out to learn a craft, which is better than farming in the village, we can't farm in the village, the water and soil are not good, or come out."
"I want my daughter-in-law to miss the baby, but when the New Year is paid, I can go home, the daughter-in-law and the doll are looking forward to us going back, the money is saved, and the daughter-in-law and the old lady will buy big red clothes and candy for the doll during the New Year, and we will be very affectionate."
……
Lou Yanni listened, felt a little sad, and felt very happy, Xu Guodong was also happy, many of his comrades-in-arms couldn't get along at home, they were all people who could endure hardships, but people who had been in the army for a long time had an upright temperament, couldn't stay in the unit, and did a lot of odd jobs, and many of them couldn't get along with others and went home to farm.
Just like this fellow said, it is not good to farm at home, and the output of a year is enough for the family to chew, and there is no more money, who has no ambition in his heart, who does not want to make more money to make his wife and children easier, but the development of the family is slow, and it is not easy to make money.
But Lou Yanni is here, Xu Guodong is a little embarrassed, or Lou Yanni waits left and right, I didn't see Xu Guodong say it, I turned my head and crossed him to ask, "Big brother, do you have the contact information of your contractor, we are from the north, I am afraid that you will not find anyone when you change places." ”
At this time, everyone was enthusiastic, and the eldest brother immediately nodded, and his tanned face was still a little embarrassed, "There are miles and miles, but how can you remember this without paper and pen?" ”
Lou Yanni touched her pocket, the two of them really didn't bring anything out, Lou Yanni was about to ask her eldest brother to report the number, she came to remember, and there was a gay man with glasses walking next to her, and the glasses with a gray face were also gray, and he couldn't tell his age.
He didn't say much, and took out a pencil half a little finger long from his pocket, and his voice was very soft, "I have a pencil, borrow it from you." ”
"Oh, Xiucai, thank you wow, comrade, do you have a cigarette?" The eldest brother took the pen and immediately thanked him, but the gay man gave the pen and stopped talking, and walked back to the place where he stayed before, and continued to pick up rice.
Xu Guodong doesn't smoke, Lou Yanni looked around, there were cigarette sellers next to the food stall, and hurriedly asked Xu Guodong to take her lunch box and buy two or three packs of cigarettes, one pack for the big brother, one pack for the young man who borrowed the pen, one pack opened the phone number, and the cigarettes were returned to the big brother.
"Don't don't, don't retreat, don't." The eldest brother refused to ask for a new one, so he went to return the money and stuffed it back to Lou Yanni, and then carefully wrapped the opened cigarette, put it back in the cigarette shell, stuffed the pen and paper to Xu Guodong, and asked him to write, "Hehe, we can't read, don't write it wrong for you." ”
This eldest brother reported a few numbers, there are those in their village, and there are also those who can contact the contractor now, anyway, they will contact their families when they change places, if they can't contact the local area now, it will be the same to call the village to ask, "Find my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law's name is Osmanthus." ”
Xu Guodong carefully put away the piece of paper with the phone number written, the eldest brother took the cigarette and the pen and stuffed it to the gay man who borrowed the pen, they picked up and pushed a few times, the eldest brother pointed at Lou Yanni and they said a few words, and the young man put away the cigarette.
Before the meal was finished, the eldest brother came back and continued to eat and chat, and somehow, he talked about the gay man who had just borrowed the pen, and it was a pity to say it.
Lou Yanni and the others only knew that this gay man was actually only twenty years old, and the child who only graduated from high school last year had particularly good grades when he was studying, but his family was poor, his mother died early, and although his father did not remarry, he was also a bastard, doing odd jobs and drinking and eating in his hometown, and he didn't care about the children.
But the child fights for himself, studies well, and doesn't cost money to study, "The number one in our county, it's a pity, the material of prospective college students, my father is dragging his feet, and on the day of the college entrance examination, the children are locked in the house, and the children are not allowed to go." ”
Lou Yanni was dumbfounded when she heard this, a fire surged in her heart, and she was very angry, "Now the university doesn't need tuition, let's review for a year and then take the exam, he is also an adult now, there should still be a way." ”
The eldest brother finished all the rice in his rice bowl, covered it and got up to go back to the construction site, shook his head and sighed when he heard the words, "He has a younger brother, and his grades are also among the best, so crazy, this child is now taking his younger brother, he has to take care of his younger brother to treat his younger brother, and his father in his hometown wants to see the world and ask for wine money, where is there still a chance to study." ”
Lou Yanni couldn't hear this kind of thing the most, her eyes moistened all of a sudden, her heart was very uncomfortable, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth, the pain of people who like to study being forced to drop out of school, she felt it herself, but she was much luckier than him, she raised her eyes and wanted to see the child again, but it had already been replaced by someone else.
"Hey, how can there be such a father in this world who is not a thing!" Xu Guodong felt uncomfortable when he heard it, he didn't have much culture, and he couldn't go long even if he was a soldier, he understood better than anyone that knowledge changed fate was not an empty word, and it was a pity for the child's experience, and he hated the child's father very much.
Lou Yanni's mood was very heavy, and it took a while to recover a little.
After the two finished eating, they walked around for a while, and a little farther away it was all the bungalow railway, and the two turned back, and when they passed by the cigarette stall, Lou Yanni saw the child nicknamed Xiucai again, and he was taking the cigarettes Lou Yanni bought to refund the money to the boss.
The money was in his hand, Xiucai counted as he walked, this cigarette was bought for six yuan a pack, and he could only return four yuan and eight cents if he returned it, but he didn't think it was less, these four yuan could buy a medicine for his younger brother, just finished clicking in his pocket, and when he looked up, he saw Lou Yanni and Xu Guodong, he was stunned, blood quickly surged on his face, and the tips of his ears were so red that blood could drip down, "I, I, I...... I'm sorry I ......."
