Chapter 1: Hu Qiang, a migrant worker

"Boom~" The sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and on the top of a dilapidated apartment building, there was a person standing on the edge at this time, looking down at the endless road below.

On this night of lightning and thunder, it is absolutely impossible to run to the roof of the building without staying at home, and it is absolutely impossible to enjoy the gorgeous night view of the city.

You only need to glance at it to see that this person is a migrant worker, his name is Hu Qiang, he is about 1.75 meters tall, he is wearing dirty work clothes, I don't know how many years he hasn't washed it, and he is almost ready to catch up with the armor.

His skin is very dark, the dark circles are very heavy, it is estimated that he has not slept much for several nights, and the wrinkles on his face are many and deep, just like the bark of old trees, which looks a little scary, probably because of years of exposure to the sun.

At this time, Hu Qiang put his hand into his right pocket, and after touching it for a long time, he found a mobile phone, and saw that it was a copycat mobile phone with a touch screen.

"Ha~" Hu Qiang sighed heavily towards the phone screen, then wiped it with his calloused thick hand, and slid the page open. At this time, the expression on his face was very complicated, staring at the screen with hesitation and sadness.

After a long time, Hu Qiang exhaled heavily, as if he had made a lot of determination. He clicked on the address book heavily, and after a while, the contact list popped up, which shows how slow his copycat phone responds!

After looking at the contact list for a while, Hu Qiang dialed a phone called "Gangzi".

"Toot too~" As soon as he heard that the phone was connected, Hu Qiang's hand holding the mobile phone began to tremble.

"Hey, is it brother?" a slightly immature voice rang on the other end of the phone.

Hearing this person's voice, Hu Qiang's heart suddenly felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and tears began to roll in his eyes uncontrollably.

"Haha~ It's brother, Gangzi, how are you doing?" Hu Qiang tried his best to control his emotions and asked.

"It's all okay, after a while, the factory will organize a training, and I'll be in it. The man named Gangzi said on the phone.

"That's a good thing, it means that the factory attaches great importance to you, you have to take advantage of this opportunity and perform well, you know?" Hu Qiang was very happy when he heard what Gangzi said, and hurriedly told Gangzi.

"Know, don't worry, brother. Brother~ How are you doing?" asked Hu Qiang.

"Me?haha~ It's also very good, the construction site is not as good as the factory, my brother is not dark, I guess you won't recognize me when you go home for the New Year. Hu Qiang said sloppily, but as soon as he heard the last sentence, he heard that something was wrong, it was obviously a joke, but the tone of his voice was so sad.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Gangzi naturally heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Hu Qiang.

"It's not much, brother, it's very good. By the way, Gangzi, how is your girlfriend looking?" Hu Qiang immediately diverted the topic.

"Not yet, 、、、 yet!" Obviously, this question is a headache for Gangzi, in the era of asking for a house and a car, it is really very difficult for him to get a wife.

"Then you have to hurry up, you can't delay it any longer, and if you delay it any longer, you will be older. Hu Qiang frowned and said very seriously.

"Brother~ You are not married yet, what am I married? ”

"Nonsense, my brother is almost forty years old, what kind of marriage are you going to get, now you are the hope of our Hu family, you can't let our Hu family have no queen, otherwise how can I face our parents' spirits in the sky!" Hu Qiang said a little angrily.

There is an old saying that the eldest brother is like a father, and Hu Qiang's parents are no longer there, so as an elder brother, he naturally wants to provoke the whole family.

Saying this, Gangzi was silent, it wasn't that he didn't want to find a girlfriend, but almost no woman could look at him, and he was also helpless. "Brother~ I will put my mind on finding a girlfriend. Gangzi could only say this.

"That's good, that's good. Hu Qiang said softly, but it didn't sound like he was talking to Gangzi, but to himself, as if he was reassuring himself.

Hu Qiang's abnormal performance made Gangzi realize that something was wrong, "Brother~ What's wrong with you tonight, what's the matter, let's solve it together." ”

"What can I do、、、、、、" At this time, Hu Qiang had an idea, thought of something, paused for a while, and then said: "Oh yes, Gangzi, my brother plans to go abroad to work, and it will take at least two or three years to come back." Brother has 80,000 yuan here, which is reserved for you to marry your daughter-in-law, but now my brother is going to go abroad to work, so all the 80,000 yuan will be transferred to you, save it well, don't spend it indiscriminately. ”

"Why do you want to work abroad all of a sudden?" asked Gangzi very puzzled.

"Of course, it's to make money! I earn a lot of money by working abroad, and while I still have the strength, I can't earn more money, and I can buy a house after earning two or three years abroad!" replied Hu Qiang.

Hu Qiang thought of this excuse in a flash, but it was very perfect, just now he was worried and worried because he didn't know how to say it.

"Then brother, you can bring me with you too!" As soon as he heard that he could buy a house after working abroad for two or three years, Gangzi said a little excitedly.

"What country are you from, how can you do it with your small body! Go to your class obediently, the most important thing for you now is to find a beautiful daughter-in-law, preferably find a big butt and give birth to a big fat boy. ”

"But my brother 、、、、、、"

"Okay~ That's it, the phone bill is almost over, wait for my brother to transfer the money to you. Remember, don't mess around. Hu Qiang interrupted Gangzi's words, and then said another sentence and was about to hang up the phone.

Looking at the mobile phone screen that was still on the call, Hu Qiang's vision began to blur, and he said to the screen in an inaudible voice: "Gangzi, brother didn't mean to deceive you, you have to live well, you must marry a daughter-in-law with a big ass and give birth to a big fat boy." Farewell, my brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Qiang rolled out of tears, and he quickly hung up the phone to prevent Gangzi from hearing anything!

Hu Qiang let the tears roll like this, he touched the pocket of his jacket and found a crumpled cigarette case, the cigarette box had the words "Da Qianmen" written on it, a brand that he had never heard before, and it was estimated that it was cheap to death.

Hu Qiang buttoned it inside, took out a cigarette, then took out a lighter and lit it, and smoked it like this. While sobbing tears, he couldn't stop rolling down, and he didn't wipe them anymore, so he just let the tears roll like this.

After Hu Qiang finished smoking the cigarette, he wiped his tears with his rough, calloused hands, and then looked at the bustling night scene of the city in front of him in a trance.
