Winter mornings are bitterly cold.

People who have been busy for a year should enjoy the blessings of sleeping on hot kang heads.

Except for those who have something to do, there are no early risers, the sun is almost a pole high, and people are still sleeping under the covers.

It is the students who go to school in the morning who suffer, and they get up when the sky is full of cold stars, walk seven or eight miles to school, and go back and forth every day.

Especially the self-study in the morning and evening, it is really enough to bear.

At that time, several people in the village who were in junior high school were gone, and Peng Cheng was left alone. Peng Cheng is thin and weak, he can't eat or drink well, and he doesn't have a thick cotton jacket, so he is afraid of cold.

He watched the door in the new house, and it was very damp, and although he pressed the doors and windows, he did not press the glass, and temporarily set up a broken plastic sheet and hung rotten grass to protect him from the wind and cold, but when the wind was blowing, the house was even colder.

Lying down at night, not being able to warm up in the middle of the night, and going to school in the morning, the taste is enough for people.

Peng Cheng's feet were frozen like rotten turnips, they were all cracked and bloody, and he couldn't take off the socks on his feet.

He told his mother, Chunmei said that it didn't matter, just don't regret it when the time comes. Wang Sen knew, he didn't say anything, and acquiesced. I thought to myself, if I don't go up, I won't go up, and I will find him a temporary job next year to earn some money, and I can ease the difficulties of my family.

Coincidentally, in order to take care of the employment of the employees' families and children, the superiors gave the unit two temporary worker quotas.

Bai Fan's eldest son had just graduated from middle school, so he came to Wang Sen and wanted his son to go.

There is also an old worker, whose son has been working at home for many years, and he also came to Wang Sen to take care of it, and there is no chance to delay it any longer, because he is older.

Wang Sen was embarrassed, he wanted to let Peng Cheng go.

However, in addition to the two of them, there are several people who are looking for him, and others will definitely reflect if they let their children go.

The quota of the old worker must be given, and he has worked in the unit for most of his life, and not a single child has come out, so he has to take care of him.

Bai Fan is the backbone of the unit's business, if he is emotional and doesn't do anything, he will be very passive in his future work.

Before and after thinking, it gave up this place to Bai Fan.

Back at home, Wang Sen talked to Chunmei, and Chunmei complained for a while.

Wang Sen found various reasons to prevaricate, "That is, a temporary worker, the unit is not very good, he is timid, he lives in the wilderness, can he do it?" ”

"Other people's children can do it, why can't he? You give such a good opportunity to others, and when you regret it, you look at our child's thin appearance, what kind of work can I do, I'm worried about it, you are good, you are so generous, you are working outside, why, isn't it just for the child," Chunmei said.

"Am I not a leader, let my children go to others to reflect."

"Our brother is still the secretary of the brigade, how did he let Jin Guang go, he didn't let anyone else go, and I didn't hear any feedback from the village," Chunmei said angrily.

"Can I compare with him, he doesn't care about everything," Wang Sen was angry.

"You are Qinggao, who is still like you now, not for the sake of the child," Chunmei was also angry.

was so angry that Wang Sen threw a bowl of sweet potato porridge into the pot, splashed a full pot of sweet potato porridge, and also splashed Chunmei.

Chunmei was also so angry that she threw the bowl on the ground, seeing that the two of them were about to start.

Bai Xue helped her grandmother in.

Seeing her mother-in-law coming, Chunmei sat on the edge of the kang and wiped her eyes.

Grandma gave Wang Sen two slaps in the past, scolded him at him, she came over to comfort her daughter-in-law again, and Chunmei told her mother-in-law the cause and effect of the incident. Grandma said: "Passed down from the elders, a virtue, what to think about others, so pitiful, isn't his father, obviously his family is starving, picked a few small pumpkins and gave them to his rich father, you say angry people are not angry, I am a good scold......"

In fact, after the formalities were completed, he regretted seeing other people's children happily going to work.

I also heard the people in the town government talking about the unit is very good, it is a subordinate unit of the province, and his heart is not even more pleasant, so he secretly went to the top to find it, and the people said that the quota was all reported, didn't he give you two places, and he felt even more uncomfortable.

He asked Liu Xinxi to find it again, but it didn't work.

Liu Xinxi also complained to him, "Give you two places, you let them out, you say you, even if you want both places, other people's reactions will be in vain." ”

He replied wordlessly.

He didn't dare to go home and say it, for fear that the child would complain about him, and Chunmei would talk about him.

So, he lied and said, "I'll be able to go to work in a little while." ”

Seeing Peng Cheng's happy appearance, he felt so uncomfortable in his heart, he was really dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering.

Since this incident, Peng Cheng has obviously become close to his father, because he has hope in his heart, he will not work at home when he goes out to be a worker, and he is the most afraid to work.

As soon as he came back, Pengcheng asked when he would go to work, and Wang Sen had to prevaricate his son, just saying that it was fast, fast.

Chunmei is also faithful, because she doesn't believe that her husband will lie, because her husband is not the kind of person who lies, so she is also very happy, she is afraid that her son will be cold outside, so she removed the quilt and added cotton wool, everything is ready, and she is waiting to go to work.

Wang Sen saw it in his eyes and felt that it was not a matter of just deceiving them, because it was impossible, so he secretly told Chunmei.

Chunmei became angry when she heard this, and quarreled with him again, "You talk to the child, what can you do." ”

"I got him a temporary job in the glass factory, let him do it first, and then talk about it later."

"The glass factory comes to our village to recruit people, no one wants to go, you have a high style, who is willing to let whoever goes, I don't want my child to go, I don't need you to find it."

Wang Sen was so angry that a tea bowl fell to the ground again, and he yelled at Chunmei, "You can, you can find him, what do you expect me to do?" ”

The two were arguing, Peng Cheng pushed the door in, and when he saw his son, the two were silent.

Chunmei touched her eyes and said to her son, "You have to do something, your father didn't do it." ”

Wang Sen glanced at his son, he lit a cigarette and smoked, and was silent.

Pengxiang stood there stunned for a while, he felt that something was wrong in the past few days, he was afraid that something would happen, and he really let him guess, in his heart, the happy hope suddenly sank, his mind was blank, Wang Sen was about to say something, but his son slammed the door and went out, Chunmei ignored him, and went to his mother-in-law angrily.

Wang Sen smoked a cigarette alone in the house......

In the new house, Peng Cheng was lying on the bed with wooden nails, looking at the roof in a daze.

When he first heard his mother, he was so happy that he was about to jump up, and he was laughing and singing in the house alone, he felt that this was a turning point in his life, and he wanted to get ahead one day and do a great career.

Whoever wants to look forward to it is a dream, he seems to have fallen into the ice room all at once, and his whole body is cold.

He didn't have that ability, what did he lie to his grandfather, he cursed, hated his father to the bone, he felt that everything was over.

During the meal, his mother came to call him, but he didn't even open the door and didn't leave the house for two days.

Dad came to call him, roared, and he obediently opened the door.

Dad kicked him twice, knocking him to the ground, and he cried.

Eventually, he went to work in the glass factory.
