Chapter 1: The Pain of Being Single
Early morning.
A hurried alarm sounded, and Li Wu reached out to hold the alarm clock in a hazy eye.
After grinding for a while, he stretched out and sat up, looked at the time, and at 7:05, there were still thirty-five minutes left before work.
Shaking his head to cheer up some spirits, he got up and washed and cleaned up casually, and was about to go out, glanced at the diary that had not been closed on the large suitcase, walked over and closed it and threw it into the suitcase, and closed the wooden door of the rental room with a clang.
Now it is the winter moon, the weather is overcast and cold, and a gust of cold wind blowing over the bones blows, Li Wu is so cold that he shiveres, and he can't help scolding in his mouth:
"MD, the weather is getting colder and colder, and people will freeze to death, and the foreman will not give him a wage, and he will exploit the toiling masses."
The rental house is five or six hundred meters away from the construction site, there are also workers' dormitories on the construction site, seven or eight people live together in a room, Li Wu can't stand the smell of sweat on his feet, and he spent ninety yuan to rent a hut outside, and he can only pay a month's rent by working for two and a half days a month, and he works for the landlord for two and a half days a month, although he is a little reluctant, but he thinks that he is alone, one person is fed and the whole family is not hungry, and he works hard every day to make money, doesn't he just want to live a better quality of life?
So why make yourself so miserable. What's more, if you live alone, your personal privacy space is still more comfortable, after all, sometimes you will have some private small actions......
I bought two steamed buns on the side of the road and walked while eating, came to the construction site, and glanced at the laboring people who entered the site one after another, Li Wu muttered:
"The hard day has started again, come on, boy!"
Suddenly laughed at himself again, he seems to be no longer a teenager, he is twenty-eight years old this year, and he usually envies those young people on the street who have female companions around them, not to mention how warm it is to hold hands!
Those female companions don't care if they are beautiful or not, but at least they are women, think about themselves, I don't know what it feels like to touch a girl's hand in this life, it should be more comfortable than the feeling of touching the right hand with the left hand!
It's a pity that the girl next door that I had a crush on a few years ago moved away, and the chance for my dream is gone! I used to pass by her door every day after work, and the feeling of going home was gone all of a sudden!
O God! It is said that fate has arrived, and I can't stop it, is my fate cut off by the old moon and left by myself?
The evil exploiting class society, so I can leave a little scum to come down, not to look like a fairy and devil, but to ask as long as it is a woman, whether rich or poor, whether tall, short, fat or thin, suddenly thought of the round body of more than 200 catties of Zhang Damiang, who sells tofu, and trembles, then be tall and thin...... Fat or don't want it.
has been single for too long, and now Li Wu doesn't want to be a woman, just a person...... Even when he saw Brother Wang at the construction site, he felt that Brother Wang was very handsome!
Li Wu came to his senses in vain, and quickly shook his head, this terrible thought, you have to get rid of it quickly, this kind of thought will kill people! The undead can also hurt......
After thinking about it, he had already walked to the construction site and started another day's labor, Li Wu's task was to move the bricks from the first floor to the fifth floor, and after a day, he was sore and exhausted!
In addition to going to work, what Li Wu does every day is to insist on keeping a diary, in his words, he just wants to record his life, and he also wants to do something that can make him stick to it and exercise his perseverance.
The human heart is fragile, its nature is changeable, and it takes not only courage to stick to one thing, but also perseverance to persevere.
Li Wu has been an orphan since he was a child, grew up in an orphanage, because of his poor grades, after barely finishing middle school, he had no interest in studying at all, but he was too young and had no place to go, and he would not want it when he went, so he stayed in the welfare home as a handyman for several years, and hurriedly came out to wander when he was just eighteen.
When he came out, he was full of enthusiasm and was full of interest to break into a career, but the reality soon slapped him a few times, Li Wu wanted to have no technology, no education, and when the only few money left on his body were spent, he couldn't pull his face and went back to the welfare home, when he was dizzy with hunger, he happened to see a construction site recruiting, and Li Wu hurriedly went over to ask.
The foreman looked at Li Wu, his body was quite strong, but his face was a little immature, and he couldn't help asking:
"Is there eighteen? Young man, you can't use a fake ID card to deceive people, under 18 is considered child labor, not only will you not get paid, but I will also be fined. ”
"Big brother, I'm eighteen years old, this ID card is really me, look at it."
The foreman took the ID card, carefully checked Li Wu's appearance, and said:
"Li Wu, your name is really arbitrary, huh...... Okay, count you in, there's still half an hour left to get off work today, and you start work tomorrow, do you have a place to live? ”
Li Wu hurriedly shook his head.
Shouldn't it be counted under the overpass?
The foreman looked at Li Wu and said:
"Then let's live on the construction site, the construction site not only has a dormitory, but also manages two meals a day."
Li Wu didn't care about anything else, as soon as he heard that he was in charge of two meals and a place to live, he hurriedly nodded:
"Okay, I'll live on the construction site!"
From that day on, Li Wu settled down in the construction site and worked for two months, but he couldn't stand the various smells of the group of big-footed men in the dormitory, so he hurriedly rented a small house after paying his salary.
……
After a busy day, Li Wu dragged his tired body back to the rental house, rested for a while, boiled a pot of boiling water with an electric heating rod, and went to the toilet with a bucket to take a hot bath.
Turn on the cheap second-hand TV, while listening to the news broadcast, while opening the suitcase, inside is the diary written for so many years, the stack is not neat, but you can also see the rules.
The suitcase is not big, less than three feet long and wide, but two feet high, and Li Wu has always used the suitcase as a small desk.
Moved a small stool, opened the cheap diary, and began to record today's anecdotes,
"Tuesday, December 12, 2010, overcast ......"
Most of the diary is the news I watched on TV, as well as some new things I heard and saw outside.
The rented hut was a little shabby, and the cold wind outside blew in from time to time along the crack in the door, like a needle prick, which made Li Wu chill for a while, Li Wu hurriedly found some rags and waste paper, and plugged the cracks of the door tightly, Li Wu muttered:
"It's a dry and cold day, and it doesn't snow, or it snows a little, preferably a little bigger, so that you might be able to rest for a day."
muttered for a while, turned around and pulled out a bag under the bed, which was charcoal bought a few days ago, found an iron basin, tossed for a long time, and finally lit the charcoal, the room was suddenly much warmer, Li Wu was a little comfortable, this is the taste of enjoyment...... It's just that this charcoal is a little expensive, but it's worth spending some money to think about enjoying it......
I have saved more than 50,000 yuan, and when I think of this, I can't help but smile obscenely, this is the money for marrying a daughter-in-law in the future!
Daughter-in-law...... You are in that mother-in-law's house, you have to come out for a walk, otherwise how can you meet me?
I'll wait for you to wait until the flowers are gone, I'm about to become an old man, aren't you about to become a wife? Could it be that I can still find a little girl, an old cow who eats tender grass? This...... It seems that it can also be, thinking of this, the smile on Li Wu's face became even more obscene.
Throw a few more pieces of charcoal into the basin, continue to write all kinds of news on TV, the charcoal fire is warm, it is really comfortable, writing and writing, I don't feel a little sleepy, thinking about lying on the box and squinting for a while, in the haze, Li Wu seems to see a beautiful woman beckoning to him, the beauty is called a beauty, white and tender, like those stars on TV, the corners of the eyebrows are smiling, the slightest sultry, Li Wu's mood is agitated, I feel that my soul has flown over, and I shouted in my heart: "Daughter-in-law, I'm here!" ”
