Volume 3: Begonia Flowers (6)

Late spring is starting to heat up in May.

This is a symbol of summer.

The excessively hot spring was a bit uncomfortable, and the short cool breeze outside the window could not relieve the heat.

Chen Zhao leaned on one of Xia Qing's legs, thinking about the high temperature that seemed to be destined to not decrease tomorrow, and he was a little uneasy.

There was a 'click' sound, accompanied by a large pile of black hair falling. Due to Chen Zhao's request, Xia Qing was carefully trimming Chen Zhao's head with scissors. At this time, she seemed to notice Chen Zhao's mood change, and said with a smile, "Do you still want to go to the barbershop?" ”

"That's not it."

Chen Zhao shook his head and paused, he still didn't want Xia Qing to misunderstand, so he said softly, "I'm going to work overtime tomorrow, it's a little annoying." ”

"That's it." She was silent for a while, "Can you go pick up Xiaole?" If not, I'll trouble Sister Zhang. ”

In fact, this is also one of Chen Zhao's headaches, the back and forth time is too long, up to an hour, Chen Zhao really can't rush there, he doesn't know what to do in the future, so he has to nod his head "trouble her".

Of course, there is another reason...

Chen Zhao buried his head in the plastic bag that tied the hair on his face with a little inferiority, and bit his lip.

He didn't want to let others know that her father was a construction site worker when he went to pick up his daughter dirty....

"Come back tomorrow and buy a fan, the one at home has been broken for a long time." Xia Qing said softly, "Summer is coming, the bed is a little small, and Xiaole is hot." ”

Looking at his daughter who was sitting at a small table not far away and doing her homework seriously, Chen Zhao smiled when he heard this, "I know." ”

....

The scorching sun in the sky made people's scalps tingle.

It's twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and I've finished a morning's work, and it's time to rest.

Chen Zhaowo was chewing in the shadow with the lunch box sent by the uniform, he was obviously a lot more energetic with his short hair, but the biggest deviation from yesterday was the pair of eyes full of exhaustion.

Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from his hair to his roasted red face, and finally fell into the lunch box. His hand holding the chopsticks trembled a little because of the soreness, and for fear of starting work suddenly, Chen Zhao looked around nervously while swallowing a few balls of white rice.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

The fat foreman suddenly came to Chen Zhao's side, kicked him, and threw down a bottle of water, "Ice." There is also a 10-minute break. ”

"Thank you, Foreman." Chen Zhao was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed it and poured it into his mouth, this pleasant coldness temporarily relieved his fatigue, and after burping, he began to be reluctant to bite the last egg left in the lunch box.

The fat foreman glanced at Chen Zhao, but he didn't speak, and sat down like this.

After swallowing the last bite of rice and eggs in his mouth and throwing away the lunch box, Chen Zhao looked at the fat foreman with a little hesitation, as if he was thinking about something, until he saw that the start time was almost up, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He said, "That... Foreman, can I discuss something with you?"

"If you have, let's put it away, and discuss it?!" The disc foreman said coldly.

"We have a rule that we come at seven o'clock every day, and then work at half past seven, right... Well, I can come to work at 6:30 every day from tomorrow, so can you let me go out at 4:30 to 5:30 in the evening? Chen Xiao said cautiously.

"What are you going to do?"

"Pick up my daughter from school and go home..."Chen Zhao was a little panicked, "My wife's leg was in a car accident, and now she is raised at home, so she can't pick it up, and it's not good to trouble others all the time." ”

The fat worker pouted, "I didn't come to supervise until after 7 o'clock." ”

"Don't worry, foreman, I won't be lazy, really, absolutely not." Chen Zhao hurriedly said.

The fat foreman stood up, looked at the group of people who were sitting and resting, and clapped his hands violently and shouted, "What are you still doing?" It's time to start, hurry up, don't sit, Lao Tzu didn't let you sit when he gave money. With that, he turned around and left.

Seeing that the foreman ignored him, Chen Zhao's face turned pale.

After only taking two steps, the fat worker's footsteps stopped, and he turned around and said coldly, "If I find out if you are lazy in the morning, just give me a fuck." ”

Chen Zhao was dumbfounded, and after reacting and understanding that it was the foreman who agreed, he hurriedly said, "Thank you!" Thank you foreman! Thank you so much! ”

Work began.

Chen Zhao dragged the hands and feet that were about to disobey the call, and carried them even harder. Although the wound on the shoulder was inflamed and very uncomfortable, fortunately, someone borrowed him a cloth to pad it, so it would not worsen the wound.

In the scorching sun, the workers on the construction site were busy in an orderly manner under the breathless exposure, working hard...

Chen Zhao knew that most of the people here were like him, and they had a family that belonged to them. He and them can only be like carrying steel bars, bowing their bodies, gritting their teeth, carrying this family, and slowly moving forward.

...

Yes, life is not so colorful. If there were, it might be a small number of lucky people favored by God.

Because life is ordinary and simple.

Joy or sorrow, bitterness or sweetness.

....

Xia Qing, who was blown by the slightly hot wind, was a little uncomfortable.

The leg with the plaster cast was also very uncomfortable due to the heat, and although there was a cushion bought by Chen Zhao, it could only alleviate a little discomfort.

I was checking my work on the computer, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Xia Qing was stunned, this is noon, is it Zhang Mei? Talking about picking up the kids? But it's too early to pick up the kids, right?

After thinking about it, he picked up the crutches on the side, walked to the door, and asked, "Who?" ”

"Hello, I'm here to find Chen Zhao." A woman's voice came from outside.

Xia Qing was full of doubts, the woman Chen Zhao knew? Did he know any women?

After thinking about it, she still walked over, opened the door, looked at the woman standing at the door, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Chen Zhao went out to work, and he came back in long live." ”

"Going to work?" Yu Yazhi was dumbfounded: "He found a new job?" ”

"New job?" Xia Qing frowned, was silent for a while, and asked, "Can you tell me about it?" Did he change jobs? ”

....

It's dark.

When Chen Zhao got off the bus, he looked at his mobile phone, and it was 8:15.

I went to a nearby supermarket to look for two laps, spent 80 yuan to buy a large air volume, and then quickly ran towards home.

Chen Zhao was tired, but happy.

Now Xia Qing can also blow a fan at home. In that small house, Chen Zhao knew how hot it would be.

Well, he actually wanted to buy an air conditioner.

He went to a nearby electrical appliance store to look at it, but when he saw that the cheapest price was 1299 yuan, he had no choice but to leave, but he remembered the price.

"You can buy it after 6 days of work." Chen Zhao thought seriously: "The family's money is enough for this month's expenses. For the remaining 28 days, I was able to earn 5600. 3,000 is the family expense, 1,000 for the daughter to save for next year's tuition, and another 1,600 can be spent as you like. ”

Happily returned home, and as soon as she opened the door, her daughter trotted and pounced.

"Daddy!"

"Eh, don't come, I'm dirty." Chen Zhao was startled, smiled and wanted to dodge, but he didn't expect his daughter to pounce on him and hug him.

"Your clothes are dirty." Chen Zhao grimaced.

"It's okay, I just have to change it today, and I'll take a shower later." Xia Qing smiled.

Hearing this, Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his daughter affectionately, rubbed her little face by the way, and made her daughter a little aggrieved, he said another sentence that made her happy again, "Come on, blow the fan, Dad bought the fan." ”

....

Watching her daughter turn on the fan, there was an echo of the naughty ah-ah-ah standing in front of the fan, and Chen Zhao and Xia Qing, who were sitting on the stool, were also amused.

"You've changed jobs?"

It's just that in the laughter, Xia Qing's words made Chen Zhao's face change suddenly, "How do you know?" ”

"Someone came to the door today and said that you had found a job and wanted to tell you in person, but I didn't expect you to be at home." Xia Qingdao.

Chen Zhao thought of Yu Yazhi for the first time, and he lowered his head and didn't speak.

"What kind of job did you change?" Xia Qing asked.

“...”

Chen Zhao didn't want to tell the truth, but he didn't know how to answer, so he lowered his head.

Xia Qing looked at Chen Zhao's dry skin, a little distressed, bit her lip, and said softly, "She asked me to tell you that there is a job, a warehouse manager, who earns 3500 a month, but it is very easy, as long as you write down the form." ”

Chen Zhao blinked.

It's easy...

Yes, he was moved.

The work on the construction site made Chen Zhao feel scared, too tired... For him, it was really too tiring.

After hesitating for a few seconds, after thinking about it, Chen Zhao gritted his teeth and refused, "The job I'm looking for now is very good... Earn more money. ”

As for the construction site, he only needs to do it for another 6 days to buy an air conditioner for his home...
