After Chu Li returned 500,000 yuan to his mother Li Qianhui, a stone finally fell to the ground in his heart. Since handing over the ICT fixtures that Chunlai is proud of, and getting back the money from Li Wansheng for the European fixture improvement project, Chu Rong paid off all his credit cards and paid the next year's rent, and then he was almost destitute again.

Chunlai got a commission of 10,000 yuan, and Chu Li also secretly put 20,000 yuan into Wu Siying's account to help her complete her studies. Chu Rong still can't find his own direction, although this market is full of hope under the tide of progress, but it still can't survive by relying on uncharacteristic processing.

When the rainy season is about to come, the weeds are still growing wildly despite the autumn wind, covering the fields and making the roads clearly visible. At the foot of the low mountain in the distance, a large number of construction machinery began to gather, and the excavation and rolling work began to be carried out enthusiastically. The battery factory in Uncle Ye's mouth has started. When his neighbors complained, Chu Li did not resist the noise caused by the project, and he sometimes chatted with the person in charge of the project in the evening. I was amazed at the speed of the project, but also realized the sheer size of the plant. Wave after wave of engineering staff arrived, wave after wave of departure. They are all different types of work, do their work, and leave immediately. There was a short crane worker from Jiangxi who told Chu Li that he was a guerrilla in this era, and he would change places with one shot. I wander outside for three seasons every year, my wife and children are in my hometown, and I go home to build a house when I earn money. Another fellow from Hubei is a cement worker, who sometimes sits at the door of Chuli with a dozen beers, drinking and peeling shelled peanuts, and is silent. Before the winter solstice, these two people came to say goodbye to Chu Li, they had completed the foundation and pipe laying, and the next step was to start the construction of the plant, and their brothers were going to withdraw. The young man from Jiangxi said that he had saved enough money for his daughter-in-law, and he smiled and smoked cheap cigarettes. The cement worker is still silent, peeling peanuts, but his eyes tell of nostalgia.

The person in charge of the project is a native of Jiangsu, and although the workers come and go, he drives a Passat to the construction site on time every day. This skinny middle-aged man takes care of the construction site with a careful budget. Chu Li didn't know his name, or he took the initiative to introduce himself, but that was three months later.

After the Jiangxi guy and the cement worker left, new workers came. The number of people who came this time was not as large as before, but they were all skilled technicians, responsible for the main construction of the plant. When Chu Li saw Wu Ran's face, time seemed to go back to a few years ago. Wu Ran was completely blind in his left eye, and his eyeballs had faded into gray-white, and he didn't recognize Chu Li. It wasn't until a month later that he bought cigarettes and passed by Chu Rong Machinery and saw Chu Li staring at him, and suddenly the cigarette fell to the ground, he bent down to pick it up, and his eyes did not forget to raise it to look carefully. Suddenly, his mouth opened, and he saw Chu Li smiling. He stretched out his hands and stepped forward to hold Chu Li's hand. The mouth trembled, and the eyes were flustered. "Is that you?"

Wu Ran was only in his early thirties back then, and now he is only about forty-five, but to the eye, he looks like he is in his early fifties and close to sixty. is not as big and round as he was back then, but has lost a lot of weight, Chu Li is tall and strong in his memory, but now he is just a little old man with a slightly bent waist. The beard looked like it hadn't been trimmed for a long time, and it was gray like a wire on his face. The hair is yellow and scarce, the rosacea nose is red, and the wrinkles on the face are confrontational, as if there is no shortage of hardships.

"Old Wu." Chu Li didn't let go of his hand, because he looked like he was about to step over.

"I didn't expect to run into you here."

Wu Ran works as a concrete earthworker in the engineering team, and his eyes are not good, and he is not good at anything else. Even so, he still asked his brother-in-law to help. The brother-in-law is a team leader, commonly known as the contractor foreman, who contracts concrete and steel bar work, has several tankers, and dozens of people under his hands follow him to beg for food. The types of work on construction sites are complex, and so is the network of relationships. Broadly speaking, there are carpenters, concrete workers, rebar workers, welders, plasterers, masons, painters, waterproofers, mechanics, inlayers, etc. Generally, they are familiar with each other's contract foremen, and they are in contact with each other, which is the case on major construction sites. Lao Wu is a point worker, that is, the salary is calculated on a daily basis, two hundred a day, including one meal. Following the brother-in-law's engineering team, my wife is also relieved, she has been mixed for several years, and she has made a lot of money, but she has also become an old man, but fortunately, she has a thick physical foundation, according to his own words: "I can survive for a few years." He expressed great envy for Chu Li's factory, but when he saw Chu Li's living conditions, he also had some confidence in his heart, and knew that it was not easy to do it. For three days, he carried something at both ends and came to chat with Chu Li. When Chu Li was not alive, he would also take him and his brother-in-law to the nearby stall to fight tooth sacrifices. The brother-in-law is short and shrewd, very good at being a man, and has rushed to pay for it a few times, which can be regarded as helping Lao Wu grow face. Lao Wu and Chu Li tacitly kept silent about the past, and neither of them touched the oldest friendship.

From them, I learned that the project was progressing very fast, and Lao Wu and they only stayed for five or six months. Due to the urgency of the project, most of the people in their engineering team will not return to their hometowns for the New Year. Chu Li misses his mother, but in the current situation, he has time to move around, and he is ready to return to Wuhan early.

"Boss! Do you want to go home for the Chinese New Year? ”

"Back."

Chunlai had a ten-day holiday, but Fan Ming had to work overtime, and the two decided not to go home in order to save money. The house in my hometown is in full swing, and the young couple is already destitute to discuss, and then take the time to go back when the house is built and renovated.

After a few weeks of crazy rain, it was approaching the end of the year. After a continuous period of leisure, Chu Li began to compromise with reality, made some advertising paper, and got up early and went to the hardware trading market and some large factories to distribute it. Only did not go to TMK, not out of the last pride in his heart, after all, he never regarded his dignity too highly, but took care of Sun Ning and Xiang Yanghua's feelings. Chunlai also asked Chu Li for advertising paper, and took advantage of the weekend to distribute it in Shipai, Qishi, Qiaotou, and Xie Gangyi. Sometimes he walked to several towns a day, and by the time the Chinese New Year was over, he and Chu Li had almost traveled all over Dongguan. Just like the resumes of fresh graduates, the flyers that flew out unexpectedly sank into the sea, and even the neighbors' machines began to stop, and sometimes when they visited each other's doors, these fellow enemies also began to complain to each other. Several of them are due to their large scale and many workers, and it is even more difficult to turn around in the face of the predicament.

Dong Rui and Sun Lei talked to Chu Li on the phone successively, and made an appointment to see the political commissar together for the New Year, and Sun Lei said that Xiao Ye would also go back to Wuhan together. Chu Li realized that it had been almost half a year since Xiao Ye came last time. That time, Xiao Ye came alone, and just took out a bag of fruit from the car, he saw Wu Siying standing at the door in pajamas. Wu Siying shouted loudly to Chu Li and said that there was a guest. When Chu Li ran out, Xiao Ye had already put the fruits and food on the table and planned to leave. And since then, she hasn't been back. Chu Li later went to Humen to find Li Wansheng many times, and every time he stopped by Houjie, he never met her again.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month of the Year of the Snake, do not break ground. The scaffolding on the site of the battery factory collapsed with a loud bang. Even from a distance of several hundred meters, people in the processing plant can hear the screams of workers crushed under scaffolding. Chu Li had just finished his morning exercise, holding the book left by Wu Siying while chewing corn. He got up and saw a mess in the distance, filled with smoke and dust, and men and women running around. Suddenly remembering Lao Wu, he got up and ran to the construction site.

It was raining lightly, and the dust from the collapse was contaminated by the rain, and turned into mud and fell to the ground, people's hair, and faces. It is not clear how many people were crushed under the scaffolding, the entire wall near the north side collapsed, the other three sides were also crumbling, the screams gradually turned into moans, several people had been dragged out, after the dust had cleared, it was found that two more people were crushed between the steel pipes, one of them was a blur of flesh and blood, the stacked steel pipes were like dense branches, and the other person was just pressed on the surface, lying on his back, his feet curled up, but his throat was unfortunately twisted by two steel pipe scissors, and his tongue was long and swollen purple, There was spittle or rain sticking to it, and the face was also purple. It's not Lao Wu. The ambulance stopped on the side of the road with its horn blaring, and the doctor asked to remove the steel pipe rack, otherwise there was no way to save people.

Chu Li and a group of people gently lifted the steel frame on the surface, and the doctor dragged the person out, and then pronounced him dead. It's not so easy to save another person. It wasn't until noon that the people were pulled out. Lao Wu and his brother-in-law also rushed to help, and today happened to be Lao Wu's rest day and escaped a catastrophe. Lao Wu said: "Xiaole, no bone is good." ”

After the person in charge of the construction site arrived, Lao Wu's brother-in-law was called to a meeting. In the afternoon, the police also arrived, and all those responsible were taken away. Chu Li saw Lao Wu's daughter-in-law for the first time. Back then, in prison, Wu Ran even turned his face against Lao Niu in order to protect his daughter-in-law's innocence, but now that the real person is standing in front of him, Chu Li is embarrassed. The little daughter-in-law is no longer young, and people in their forties have been tossed by the years, with markings on her sallow face and dark skin, but she can see that her body is strong. Holding in one hand a boy who looked seven or eight years old but looked as tall as his mother. In prison, I heard Lao Wu say that he has a daughter, so this must be the second child. After the construction site was suspended, the family was in shock, and Chu Li invited them to dinner in the stall. and called Lao Wu's daughter-in-law and sister-in-law. The woman had an innocent smile on her face that the years had not taken away, and she kept nodding her head.

"People are gone." Lao Wu muttered to himself, holding a cup of Erguotou in his hand, and licking his tongue bitterly.

"Sister-in-law eats vegetables."

Chu Li took some more and put them in the boy's bowl.

"Did you go to school?"

"In my hometown, this is not going to be the New Year." The sister-in-law helped answer, pressing her hand on the child's back.

"There's another sister, right?"

"My sister is in high school." The boy plucked up the courage to look up at Chu Li and said.

"Your brother, this is your own factory?" Lao Wu's daughter-in-law didn't ask Chu Li directly, looked at Lao Wu and said.

"Yes, sister-in-law. It's just a small workshop, you don't see a single worker. Chu Li saw that Lao Wu's emotions had not completely eased up, and took the initiative to answer. How is your hometown? “

"It's okay, it's good for the girl to come out of school, the house has not been built, and when the girl comes out, we also want to build it."

"Old Wu, come!" Chu Li never drank alcohol, and today he poured an unprecedented glass from Lao Wu's second pot.

Lao Wu hurriedly raised his glass, and the two drank it all.

The woman and the child went back to the temporary dormitory built by the container in advance after eating a good meal, and Lao Wu saw them go away, and said angrily: "It must be the poor quality of the parts." When the scaffolding was erected, some people said that the quality of the pipe clamp was wrong. You see they're killing people now! ”

Chu Li also found that the pipe clamp of the scaffold was a little cracked just now. This kind of fastener is generally a universal model, there are national standards, and it stands to reason that they should not be broken. Generally, the cause of the accident is caused by poor fastening, this nut fastening one should be rotated with a wrench for about a minute, the labor intensity of the workers is large, when fatigue, some of the unfastened ones will slip off, in addition to the sun and rain in the construction process, mud splashing, screws and nuts rust after the mechanical strength is affected will also have problems. But there is obviously another reason for the breakage of the fastener itself, and in terms of color, it is not quite right. Normal high-strength fasteners should be cast with galvanized surfaces. And what I just saw looked like a stamping part. When I was in TMK, there was a period of time when the product shell was changed to stainless steel stamping, because of the simple process, the appearance is beautiful, and the cost is much lower. Even if the test data is qualified in the laboratory, the complex application environment outside is often not simulated in the laboratory. That's why almost all industries rigorously carry out laboratory assessments, while also actively researching market feedback and analysing bad products. But it's ideal, and you can't ask a scaffolding fastener company to compare the rigor of a Fortune 500 company. In the business environment, the nature of profit-seeking makes it easy for the temptation to maximize profits to defeat the perfect respect for life. Scaffolding fasteners have low profits, simple production processes, and many unqualified enterprises will also participate in the bidding, and then examine the certification link. Moreover, fasteners are consumables, and sometimes they are sold as scrap iron when they are used up, and no one thinks that there will be problems when they are used in a short time.

"Is your brother-in-law in charge?"

Lao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not. It's the imps who are in charge. I don't think he can eat this time and walk around. "The imp is another contractor, although he is called the imp, he is tall and big. I have a noble character in my name, I am relatively young, and I become a "little ghost" when I shout and shout.

"This ticket should be done through your normal channels? Aren't they all tested? How did this come about? ”

"I don't know. It seems to be made by your factory. You're not involved, are you? Lao Wu looked at himself nervously. I heard from a few brothers that a batch of fasteners was not delivered on time, and then the boss rushed to work and let the old ones be used. The big guy disagreed, and then the little ghost said that he bought it, so everyone didn't have to worry. When I installed it later, some people said that it was indeed new, but it was not the same as the previous one, and the surface had a blue baking process, but it was much thinner. None of us understand this, who knew it would break! ”

"No, your batch belongs to sheet metal, I don't do sheet metal, there is no equipment here."

"That's good. Brother, you are a good person, you will not do such a conscienceless thing. Blame me, blame me. I know what you are, I just want to confirm it, after all, this matter may have to be ......" Lao Wu looked left and right, and lowered his voice, "You want to go to jail!" ”

When it came to prison, his gray, useless eyes looked at the table with his right eye, revealing a pained look.

At dawn the next day, Chu Li was woken up by a knock on the door outside, and when he opened the door, he actually saw Scarface Dai Qiang, and there were two police officers and a tall man with a sad face behind him, as well as Lao Wu's brother-in-law, Chu Li recognized the tall man as the little ghost that Lao Wu said they said. Dai Qiang did not wear the clothes of the joint defense team, but wore a police uniform. Both of them were very surprised, and Chu Li smiled first: "I know what you came to me for, but let me congratulate you first!" “

Dai Qiang scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled shyly.

The conversion of the auxiliary police is an absolutely remarkable thing. When Chu Li pulled him into the house, he took a closer look at his walking posture and suspected that he had been injured. The auxiliary police are actually a supplement to the lack of police force, but there is essentially no difference between the work done by the auxiliary police and the people's police. But if you want to turn positive, it's really not easy. The exam is a compulsory way, but the exam alone is not enough, and now undergraduates throw a brick over, not counting the people who hit it, and the few people next to them who are watching the excitement can be undergraduates. You have to make a big contribution. All police officers know that behind the solemn and glorious word of meritorious service is hard work, blood, and pain.

"How good your job was, why didn't you do it?"

"What about me, why didn't you do that job?"

"Don't make fun of me, I just want to be a cop."

"Yes, just kidding. Well, it turns out that the company doesn't want me anymore, so I can only find something to eat by myself. Chu Li knew that he was in a hurry, "You came to ask about the construction site, right?" “

"Yes, dead three. Although it is an engineering accident, it must be investigated clearly. “

Chu Li took him to look at his warehouse, and Dai Qiang looked at it carefully and took notes. When the two police officers behind him were about to come in, Dai Qiang raised his hand to stop him. The two walked to the door, and Dai Qiang suddenly said to Chu Li: "The clues in Shanghai last time were amazing, and you really have you." Tell me, how did you get He Tiantian's uncle to confess and be lenient? ”

"What kind of frankness and leniency, they are ordinary people, as long as they communicate well, everyone will cooperate."

"But I can't come with anything soft or hard?"

"Of course you can. I'll get straight to the point and talk about my purpose, but it's possible that He Tiantian hasn't forgotten to catch the temporary residence permit, right? “

"That's what scares them. What do you think? How effective is this factory? “

Chu Li spread his hands and said with a smile: "You have seen it yourself, the machines are resting." ”

"It's very competitive. Look at all these around you, good guys, dare to do anything! Dai Qiang's tone suddenly changed in the second half of his sentence, and he turned his head viciously to look at the little ghost, who hurriedly turned his face away. After speaking, he returned to a harmless smile and patted Chu Li's shoulder, "Let's go, let's talk next time." “

Chu Li nodded and sent Dai Qiang away with a smile.

In the afternoon, Sun Lei made a phone call and said, "Why did you make a big news there?" Chu Li didn't gloat, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this kind of thing is a big disaster for everyone. Later, I heard that the biggest boss next door was taken away, and then, when Chu Li was packing his things, the door was knocked open by Lao Wu's brother-in-law, and behind him stood the big boss of Jiangsu.

"Hello, is it Chu Li?"

"Yes." Chu Li nodded at his brother-in-law, "Isn't this Brother Zhao?" “

The brother-in-law's surname is Zhao, and he introduced Chu Li to the boss of Jiangsu very much. The boss of Jiangsu nodded his thin head and said to Chu Li very sincerely: "My surname is Yu, Yu Meiren, I have a favor I want to ask you for help." If you don't mind, can you go in and talk? ”

Chu Li was a little hesitant, he was going to set off tomorrow, and he was about to pack a few clothes today, and then he had to go to Houjie to say goodbye to Grandma Ye. At this time, he saw his brother-in-law blinking frantically, so he nodded and greeted him.

Mr. Yu of the poppy spoke softly, even a little feminine, "Something happened to me over there, you should know about it." This year is approaching, I have a batch of fasteners that can't arrive, I don't know if you ......"

"I'm sorry Mr. Yu, I don't do sheet metal, let alone castings. I don't have that condition. ”

Mr. Yu raised his hand, "Boss Chu, you don't have to worry, I know you don't do casting, but you do finishing." That fastener isn't something particularly complicated, can you do it for me? We can choose absolutely qualified raw materials together, rust resistance, corrosion resistance, mechanical strength are all responsible for the raw materials, you just need to help me drill, install threads, and then brush some anti-rust paint. ”

"With the finishing process, the volume and cost are relatively high. There's no need for that, is it? ”

"It's necessary, I have to start work quickly, it's too late to find another place to do it temporarily, if you are willing to help with this, the cost can be negotiated."

"Brother Chu, do you want to think about it?" The brother-in-law saw Chu Li's embarrassment, "Mr. Yu, it's better to just say it." ”

Mr. Yu of the poppy nodded, "The biggest one here was in a hurry, so the quality was not good, I can't trust the others, I see that you are more familiar with Officer Dai, I believe you are a decent businessman." If you do it, I believe the start of the audit will go more smoothly. ”

Chu Li was secretly surprised, the main meaning of what Yu said was nothing more than - you know Dai Qiang, if you do it, then the project audit is easier to pass.

"Dai Qiang and I are just ordinary friends, and I really can't guarantee that we can affect anything. And if you want to do it, you have to make it public, and officially submit it for testing, and it's not good to take shortcuts. Ugly words come ahead, business can be done, but don't mix it up with friendship. ”

Yu said, "That's, that's." Why don't you quote a price? ”

Chu Li said: "I have to go back to Hubei tomorrow, and it can only be after the year at the earliest." Can you wait? “

Yu's face was embarrassed, he didn't expect that there would be such a person who didn't take business seriously.

During the stalemate, there was a sound of a girl talking outside. "It's finally here!" Chu Li was stunned for a moment, this voice sounded a little familiar, he asked the two of them to wait for a while, got up and walked out of the compartment, and saw a girl pulling a suitcase, standing at the door with her head up and drinking water. The wind blew the golden hair like a thatch, and when the girl turned her face, he found that it was Wu Siying, thinking that this stinky girl had actually dyed her hair.

"You ......" Chu Li had just spoken, and another person walked in outside the door, it was Chunlai.

"Boss!" Chunlai is carrying a strange gadget in his hand. "Look, there's a fixture from an electronics factory over there in Liaobu."

"You've just arrived?" Chu Li asked again, "Aren't you going back for the New Year?" ”

"My school is on vacation. I'm here for the New Year, it's too cold in Hunan, why don't you welcome it? ”

"No, it's the boss who wants to go back for the New Year." Chunlai thought for a while, "Yes, you are alone in this factory, I'm afraid it's not very safe." Why don't you and your boss go back to Hubei for the New Year? ”

"Yes, yes!" Wu Siying doesn't treat herself as an outsider, and praises her again and again.

Chu Li was used to Chunlai's unbridled mouth, so he ignored him. helped Wu Siying carry the box in, and when she saw Wu Siying taking off her clothes one by one, she hurriedly stopped her, and said, "I still have something to do, I'll talk about it later." “

"Boss Yu, I'm sorry. Go on. ”

"It's really hard to wait here, the deadline is tight, can you go back later? I can give you more money on the price. ”

Chu Li listened to the two of them rummaging through the cabinets outside, and immediately agreed.

The rest of the matter went surprisingly smoothly, and the offer was not entangled, basically Chu Li said as much as he wanted. The raw materials are the suppliers introduced by Li Wansheng, according to the standard sample, Wu Siying reverse design, out of the processing drawings, Chu Li requires absolute safety, after proofing, immediately sent to the third party for testing, all the test standards are the same, the first time to start. After the test, the production began, and this time with Chun to help, Chu Li borrowed two more journeymen from the family next door, and the five people made more than a hundred in a week. On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chu Li asked to stop work, and Old Wu and his brother-in-law ran over to say that Wu Siying and Chun were fine, and the remaining two were even more eager to work overtime. Old Wu Nian is not over, helping to apply anti-rust paint. At the end of the year, because the factory was on holiday, this generation was also very deserted, all gears were closed, Chu Li rode a broken bicycle to Shangsha Village to set a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, ready to treat a few people. On the way, when I passed by Grandma Ye's house where I used to live, I couldn't help but look up, and suddenly found that there was actually a lamp. He remembered that Sun Lei had said that Xiao Ye would accompany him back to Wuhan for the New Year, and wondered if there should be anyone, did he rent it out again? He couldn't help but run up, and when he raised his hand and knocked on the door, he shouted, "Is there anyone?" I'm Chu Li. There was no movement inside, Chu Li put his ear to the door, and there was no sound except for the whirring wind. There is no light in the crack of the door, could it be that I have seen it wrong? He ran downstairs and looked at the fifth floor again and saw that there was no light. took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Xiao Ye, but after thinking about it, he estimated that he was dazzled, shook his head, and put his mobile phone away.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is set at Wu Siying's favorite firewood restaurant. In addition to calling Chunlai, Fan Ming, and those two guys, Chu Li called Lao Wu again and asked him to bring his daughter-in-law, but Lao Wu humbly refused. When Wu Siying went upstairs, she saw a group of old colleagues, and she screamed with joy. Introducing himself to others everywhere as the chief designer of Churong Company, called CDO in English, scared some little girls into a daze. When Chunlai brought Fan Ming here, he almost couldn't recognize it, Fan Ming gained a lot of weight, and there was no trace of what he used to be, Wu Siying looked at her, didn't speak for a long time, and said slowly, gently: "This is what happiness looks like." ”

Those two guys are from Jiangxi, and eating spicy food is not a problem, Chu Li shouted all the good dishes in the restaurant, piled up a full table, and shouted some beer.

In the middle of the banquet, Fan Minh's broken gong sounded: "Daniel has resigned." ”

Chu Li was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was something that had nothing to do with him. But since Fan Ming took the initiative to talk about it, he casually asked: "When will it be?" ”

"Just a few days ago. I heard that I can't get along with Liang Bracket. ”

"You deserve it, the guy who is strong on the outside." Chunlai said hatefully.

"Others are fine. It's just not very careful. "Fan Minh's female perspective is obviously different from Chunlai's.

"Are Xiang Yang Hua and Li Xiaohong okay now?"

"Xiang Yang Hua is quite good, Sister Xiaohong, she wants to go to Shenzhen. But it doesn't look like you can get out of here. Recently, layoffs have started again, and people from many departments have left. It's really strange why there are so many orders and still keep laying off employees. “

"Eat fast! You talk so much! Chun Lai glared at Fan Ming.

The two guys didn't talk much, just ate with their heads down. One of them stood up, raised his glass to Chu Li respectfully, and then turned the wine glass towards Wu Siying: "I respect the boss, the boss has a glass." “

Chun Lai and Fan Ming suddenly laughed. Chu Li hurriedly stood up, and just as he was about to speak, Wu Siying stood up and said, "Come, come, the boss is not, the boss doesn't dare to be the boss, I am the chief designer." “

The man was unusually embarrassed and became even more reticent. Chu Li was reminded, and first added some snacks and food to everyone, and then went outside to call his mother and told his mother to pay more attention to keeping warm. In the words, I could feel that my mother wanted to speak and stopped, Chu Li was a little surprised, Li Qianhui was a submissive person, he asked if there was anything uncomfortable, his mother just said that he didn't see him in the New Year, and he was a little bored alone, so he would have time to come back after the New Year. Chu Li called the political commissar again, and heard his wife say beside him: "Sun Lei and Dong Rui will come tomorrow, and I will send you." “

A few people deboned and ate meat, and ate until they were on their stomachs. Eat a sauce board duck, a soft-shelled turtle, and a roast chicken, and drink two cases of beer. After dinner, Fan Ming and Chun went back and forth to the rental house, and Chu Li asked the two workers to take Wu Siying to take a taxi back, but she had to sit on the back seat of the broken bicycle, and laughed and scolded along the way, why is this road so top? Said that the ass was about to bloom.

Then she suddenly cried again. Chu Li stopped the bicycle and asked her if she had something on her mind? She said no. Wu Siying jumped out of the car, and the two walked side by side. Chu Li's instincts told him that she might be homesick. But her parents have their own families, and it is precisely because she doesn't know which home to go back to that she came to Dongguan. Chu Li didn't dare to be too gentle with her, he was already afraid of the thorny flower of feelings, Wu Siying was nearly ten years younger than herself, she should have her life. And he himself is still looking forward to the day when Chen Si will come back. He thought back to the short time the two were together, and every time they met, it was as if they had foreseen the misfortune that would follow, and they gave each other frantically, and there was no longer the greedy love of tomorrow. She may have forgotten, but he remembered often.

The remote dirt road, with almost no street lights, gradually moved away from the neon of the market town, and the sky was so deep and blue that even if you skimmed it leisurely, you could see a few stars, and if you stared at the sky, there would be new little stars coming into view. Without the winter snow, wind and frost, this Spring Festival is not like the Spring Festival, and it makes people feel that spring has unexpectedly come prematurely.

Back at the warehouse, Chu Li asked her to take a bath first, and the newly installed water heater was enough for her to wash alone. There's a TV missing, he thought. Today is the Spring Festival Gala, and a burst of loneliness arises spontaneously. He shuttled through the machine, smelling the smell of oil and steel, mixed with the smell of organic matter characteristic of acrylic, and although the anti-rust paint had been sealed, it still permeated the air with a pungent smell. Wu Siying didn't go to sleep directly after washing, but used the computer to put up the Spring Festival Gala, and Chu Li also joined in. As a result, after only half an hour of watching, he found that she had fallen asleep leaning on the "bed". Wu Siying's long hair was scattered behind her ears, the jet-black covered the pillow, and a few short hairs were scattered on her flat and white forehead, her eyebrows were neatly curved, the bridge of her nose was straight, and her lips were still like a child, full of vermilion. I kept reminding myself that it was time to avoid it. He turned down his voice to the lowest and covered her with the quilt before going to take a shower.
