Chapter 2: Compassion

"Huh? Why is there still a teenager working over there? ”

If Li Dong is here, he will find that the object that the middle-aged man is referring to is himself. He didn't know how embarrassed he was at this time, and he was so conspicuous among this group of people.

"Director Chen, don't you know, someone in the child's family is sick, isn't this trying to earn some medical expenses, I saw that he insisted, so I accepted it." Director Feng cautiously explained that although it was not in accordance with the rules, he couldn't stand that his father was his old classmate.

"Alas, he's a good boy, you go and give him an easier job, seeing him like that, it's probably going to be unbearable." Director Chen remembered his childhood, and the stubborn back of the young man was a former acquaintance.

When Director Feng heard this, he was overjoyed. In fact, he had long wanted to give Li Dong an easier job, but it was already unruly to recruit him in, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks by relying on his own relationship. But if you arrange an easier job for him, it will really make the public angry, even if he is the supervisor, it is useless.

Now that Director Chen has spoken in person, he can arrange it openly, and see what else those people with broken mouths have to say.

"Director Chen, don't worry, I'll arrange it later, and I'm going to thank you for that kid."

Director Chen didn't speak again, this kind of thing was just a moment of compassion for him, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

……

"Dongzi, hurry up and pack up and go with your uncle, and your uncle will arrange an easier job for you." Director Feng looked high-spirited.

Li Dong's hands didn't stop, he didn't want to embarrass Uncle Feng, after all, this construction site was not something he said alone, so he persuaded:

"Uncle Feng, I know that you are for my good, and I have received your wishes, but if you can't do this, it will affect you."

Director Feng nodded with satisfaction, he knew that he was not wrong, Li Dong was a good boy who knew how to consider others. Thinking of his own few uncompetitive rabbit cubs, he envied his old classmates for a while.

"Don't worry, this is not what I said, it was instructed by Director Chen himself." Director Feng said with a raised eyebrow.

"Huh? How could Director Chen know about me? Li Dong was surprised, could it be that the father he called for 15 years was not his own father, he was just a pick-up man, he was actually a second-generation official who lived among the people, and the protagonist had a halo?

Fortunately, Director Feng didn't know what Li Dong was thinking, otherwise he would have to teach his old classmate a good lesson. didn't hide it, Uncle Feng told him what happened just now, so that Li Dong remembered Director Chen's kindness.

"Uncle Feng, don't worry, I will definitely repay Director Chen and your kindness." Li Dong slapped his chest with a "pop", and he couldn't wait to take out his sincere heart on the spot and show it to Uncle Feng.

Because of Director Chen's "holy decree", Director Feng arranged a job for Li Dong to pick up stones, that is, to pick out the stones in the greenhouse with a shovel and throw them away.

Originally, the larger stones had been screened when digging the silt, and the rest were some small stones, and the work was very easy, Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and he could finally "eat and wait for death".

"Oops......"

Suddenly, Li Dong felt that his right foot was punctured by something, and his heart hurt. Shocked, he hurriedly put down the shovel, raised his right foot, and wiped the mud on the soles of his feet with his hands.

Li Dong exhaled deeply and wiped the sweat on his forehead. If he had lost this easy job because of an injury, he felt that he would have just hit his head and died, but fortunately Lady Luck was on his side.

After cleaning the wound, I pulled a strip of cloth from my body and bandaged it briefly, and it was estimated that it would be better in a few days. After dealing with it, Li Dong stretched out his right hand and groped in the mud, he wanted to find the "culprit".

After a while, Li Dong touched a small stone, skimming off the mud on it, about the size of a thumb, black all over, and covered with potholes. One end of the stone is very smooth, but the other end is unusually sharp, no wonder it itself.

Li Dong carefully looked at this strangely shaped stone, as if he had seen it there. "Smack", he slapped his thigh, isn't this a meteorite? I remember that in my previous life, I developed a lower family, and the other party took a meteorite to offset the account when he had no money. I was very interested at the time, and I checked the information on the Internet, and it seemed that the auction price was quite high.

Although the meteorite collection has disappeared in the last days, it is still the first meteorite he found, which is still very commemorative, and Li Dong decided to collect it and make a pendant when he goes back.

Stuffing the meteorite into his pocket, Li Dong didn't have to be distracted anymore, his work was important, and it would be bad if he was caught lazy. Not to mention deducting money, I even lost my job, didn't you see those envious, jealous and hateful eyes, I can't wait to replace them.

What Li Dong didn't know was that the blood-stained meteorite was undergoing earth-shaking changes inside at this time. Ten minutes later, with a soft "bang", the meteorite turned into powder, and a point of light ignored the barrier of his clothes and melted into his skin. Li Dong was unaware of this.

The sun has finally set, and the time has come to call it a day, and most of the work of the last days will be done at sunrise and rest at sunset. Due to the lack of thermal insulation of the atmosphere, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the maximum temperature during the day can reach 45 degrees Celsius. At night, it can be as low as minus 10 degrees, and outdoor work is not possible at all.

After finishing work, Li Dong went to Uncle Feng in advance to receive today's salary, which saved him the trouble of queuing. Uncle Feng took good care of him and gave him a week's salary advance. Li Dong did not refuse, even if he didn't think about himself, he had to think about his little sister's condition.

The home is not very far from the farm, less than two kilometers in a straight line, Li Dong is reluctant to spend money to take the car, and there is more time, so he walked all the way back.

"Auntie, I'm back." Before he got home, Li Dong shouted.

"Dongzi, you're back, you're tired today, or don't go tomorrow, I'd better go to your grandmother's house to borrow some money."

Lu Xiumei looked at her eldest son's tired appearance, and felt distressed, who would go to work on the construction site with such a young child? What's more, even adults may not be able to stick to that job.

"It's okay Auntie, I'm lucky today, I met the leader to inspect, seeing that I was young, I changed to a very easy job, I don't believe you will ask Uncle Wang later." Li Dong said nonchalantly, if he hadn't changed jobs, it was estimated that he would not necessarily be able to refuse.

"Really? Bodhisattva bless, now I finally have the money to see a doctor for Xiao Wu. Lu Xiumei clasped her palms together and bowed to the void a few times.

"Okay, A-Niang, is Xiao Wu better today?" Li Dong asked with concern.

"Alas, it's still the same, with a low-grade fever and a constant cough." Lu Xiumei's face was full of worry.

When Li Dong heard this, he immediately entered the room, the little girl was still sleeping, her face was red, and her lips were chapped. Reached out and touched her forehead, which seemed to be hotter than when he went out.

"Daguo, you...... Cough...... It's back. The little girl was woken up by Li Dong and showed a weak smile.

"Little Wu, how do you feel, is there anything uncomfortable?" Li Dong asked softly.

The little girl didn't speak, just shook her head, she didn't want her family to worry. When Li Dong saw it, he panicked, turned to A-Niang and said:

"Xiao Wu's cold seems to be unable to be delayed any longer, so I'll take her to the hospital. A-Niang, don't go with you, otherwise the eldest sister will come back and find that there is no one at home, and they will be anxious. ”

Without waiting for Lu Xiumei to answer, Li Dong dressed the little girl, the night was very cold, and she was wearing a cotton jacket. Then he picked up the little girl and rushed to the hospital, comforting the little girl as he walked: "Little Wu, hold on a little longer, and it will be good when you get to the hospital." ”

As soon as she walked a few dozen meters, Lu Xiumei chased after her with a gray cotton jacket. She took the little girl from Li Dong's back, asked Li Dong to put on his own clothes, and then kept nagging about paying attention to safety and coming back as soon as possible. Li Dong put on his padded jacket, hurriedly said that he knew, and trotted with the little girl on his back.

Lu Xiumei looked at it for a long time before she walked back, her steps a little heavy.
