Tempus fugit.

It's June.

The vigorous spring has disappeared into the long river of time called the past with this cool to warm breeze, and finally, the warm early summer has come.

On the first day of June, heavy rain fell. The construction site did not go to work, which just gave Chen Zhao time to spend with his family.

A month of construction site work has made a lot of changes to Chen Zhao.

His fair skin had been burned brown under the scorching sun, and the few fats he had had been polished away, and with his short inch and energetic smile, he looked extremely strong and capable compared with the pale tiredness he had carried all day before a month.

After getting used to every day on the construction site and no longer feeling so tired, he began to enjoy the job.

Looking at the air conditioner added to his home and a second-hand soft bed that he had just exchanged for the rest of the money, Chen Zhao's smile was even more satisfied.

For the future, he began to be full of expectations and yearning. Yes, Chen Zhao felt that even if he would be tired, as long as he worked hard, this embarrassing life would soon be completely changed.

Now save a little a month, as long as you wait until Xia Qing goes to work, the two of them can save 6,000 a month, which is 60,000 a year, and if you do it for more than a year, you will soon have a down payment to buy an ordinary small new house, or do it for another year, and make up the money for some furniture...

Well, at that time, my daughter should go to elementary school, so I will buy it near my daughter's school, so that I don't have to let her get up so early to go to school every morning.

"Bought the bed... The rest of our living expenses are only enough to maintain more than one point this month, what if something happens to us and we ask for money? ”

Xia Qing glanced at the workers who had just set up the bed and left, and then looked at the daughter who was holding Chen Zhao's hand, and her big eyes were full of eagerness to try the soft bed, and sighed to Chen.

"It's fine." Chen Zhao picked up his daughter, kissed her on the cheek, and smiled, "Dad can make money." ”

Xia Qing sneered, "You..."

She didn't say anything more, looking at Chen Zhao, there was warmth in her eyes that was completely different from that cold expression.

She remembered that since Chen Zhao told her daughter that she was going to school, it was like a new person, but this had changed too much. If it weren't for the habit and the birthmarks on her body, Xia Qing would have suspected that this man she had been familiar with for seven years was fake.

"Chen Zhao..."

Just watched Chen Zhao and his daughter play on the soft bed for a long time, Xia Qing spoke again, "Aren't you going to thank that foreman?" Take advantage of not working today. ”

In a month's time, under the side knocks, Chen Zhao finally told the truth about his work. In the end, when Chen Zhao was unwilling to change jobs, Xia Qing couldn't force him anymore. But during this period, I learned some trivial things about Chen Zhao.

Including the fat foreman's.

"Drink water and think of the source, and know the gratitude." Xia Qing added softly.

"I know." Chen Zhao smiled and nodded, "But I don't know how to thank you?" ”

"You go buy a pair of shoes for him, don't be too stingy, buy a pair of two or three hundred, anyway, your salary is a daily settlement, and it won't get in the way." Xia Qing said.

To be honest, in fact, 300 yuan Chen Zhao is still very distressed, this is the money he can't earn for a day, and it is also the living expenses of the family for several days. But thinking of the fat foreman's usual help to him, the hesitation was immediately forgotten.

Oh, yes...

Drink water and think of the source, and repay the kindness. The fat foreman helped himself too much.

took 400 yuan from the drawer and was about to go out when Xia Qing suddenly called out to him, "Wait." After shouting, he looked at Chen Zhao's sneakers that were washed but worn out at the tips, and said softly, "By the way... Buy yourself a new pair of shoes. ”

...

The rain was a bit heavy.

Compared with the violent devastation on the day he was fired, Xia Qing was as terrible as the end of the day when he had a car accident, and this rain can be regarded as mild.

In this month's work, Chen Zhao has been to the fat foreman's home, and this time he is also very familiar.

Based on his memory, he bought a pair of durable oversized leather shoes for the foreman, not that he didn't know that some cloth shoes suitable for the construction site were better, but Chen Zhao believed that no one would stay in the construction site forever, and leather shoes were not a good choice.

The crackling sound of rain falling on umbrellas was drowned out by the cacophony of rain.

Chen Zhao came to the door of the fat foreman's house with a smile, he just wanted to knock on the door politely, but the sudden quarrel from inside immediately made his hand stop.

"Where do you have enough money?"

"I've already given you a lot of public money this month, so what do you want me to do?"

"You are willing to give your ex-wife and son so much money every month, so why don't you give me more? Did I force you to steal public money? I'm just asking you to give me a little more money. You're divorced now, that's not your wife, what's the point of you going to support them? ”

“....”

Listening to this conversation, Chen Zhao's face turned a little pale.

He hurriedly turned around and was about to leave, but due to nervousness, he couldn't see the situation on the side clearly under the heavy rain, and the umbrella accidentally hooked the rope in front of the door, and pulled down a few stone bricks on the roof with a bang, and the sound of banging resounded through the small courtyard.

"Who?" The fat foreman shouted from inside, and pushed the door open with a thud.

It's just that when he saw Chen Zhao standing at the door with a gift box and an unnatural smile, the fat foreman immediately fell silent, "Come in." As he spoke, he turned around and walked in.

Carefully pulling the umbrella off the rope and putting it away, Chen Zhao's expression was a little unsightly, but he could only grit his teeth and keep up.

The woman who had quarreled with the fat foreman in the room had already entered the room, and the fat foreman was left sitting on a stool in the hall with Erlang's legs crossed. When he saw Chen Zhao walking in front of him, he said, "Sit down." The house is dirty, although the umbrella is thrown away. Well, smoke? ”

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette case from his pocket, slapped it twice, and popped out a crumpled Seven Wolves cigarette.

"No, thank you, Foreman. I quit smoking. Chen Zhao smiled reluctantly and handed over the shoebox, "I'm here to give you a gift, I want to thank you for helping me these days,"

"Yo, leather shoes."

The fat foreman flipped over, and after being stunned, he sneered, "This is a glamorous thing, what do I want to do here?" ”

“...”

Chen Zhao laughed dryly.

"Did you hear the quarrel just now?" The fat foreman put the cigarette in his mouth, lit the fire, took a puff of beauty, and when he saw Chen Zhao nodding, he sighed, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." ”

Chen Zhao didn't know how to answer well. But his heart was full of regret, and he felt that he should not have come at this time

Maybe I shouldn't have listened to Xia Qing to give this gift...

"It's all for the family." Chen Zhao felt that it was best for him to answer like this.

"yes, it's all for the family." The fat foreman pursed his lips and nodded, "How is your wife's leg?" ”

"I can remove the plaster tomorrow." Chen Zhao smiled.

"Where's my daughter?"

"The school is good." Chen Zhao's smile was even worse.

"Really... Pretty good. The fat foreman nodded.

He stared out the window at the rain of ginkgo leaves, smoked slowly, and said nothing.

He didn't know what he was thinking, but for a long time, when a cigarette was finally lit, he threw the cigarette butt under his shoe and crushed it vigorously.

"You're not going to come to work tomorrow."

Under the fat foreman's words, Chen Zhao's expression stiffened.

"Foreman, I won't tell anyone." Chen Zhao panicked and said hurriedly.

He couldn't believe it.

What the hell is going on? Why is this going to make me quit? The fat foreman is a good guy, right? Isn't it like saying two words to yourself at most and letting yourself get out? Why don't you let yourself go to work?

He was really afraid.

He was afraid of losing such a lucrative job, and he had just adapted to it, so how could he be gone? He's just planning for the future...

The fat foreman sighed, "Go home." ”

"Foreman..."

"Let's go home." The fat foreman repeated softly.

“...”

Happiness and misfortune are always sudden.

No one knows which will come sooner.

...

The rain was heavier.

The first rain of early summer was not restless.

When misfortune comes, it's always one rainy day after another...

On this rainy day, Chen Zhao is unemployed again!

Holding an umbrella, he walked to the bus stop blankly.

Yes, he hated rainy days.

It's just that what he is most puzzled about at the moment is the definition of the word 'good person'...
