Chapter 82: The sunset is brilliant (readers, don't raise it, it's dying)
Lin Qingdu's first night on the construction site was spent meditating on the bedboard.
As soon as the day dawned, there was movement on the construction site, and the contractor kicked open the door and shouted: "It's time for breakfast, get up quickly, it's too late!" ”
The three of them got up immediately, and after a simple wash, they went to eat, by the way, Lin Qingdu didn't have a toothbrush and toothpaste, but just rinsed his mouth with water.
When the three of them got below, they saw a group of workers wearing yellow hard hats, squatting on the ground and picking up lunch boxes, and people next to them lined up in a long line to distribute them.
Lin Qingdu came to the front of him, received a boxed lunch, and squatted on the ridge to eat.
Not to mention the boxed lunch at the construction site, it was very bland, and when it was time to work after eating, he was arranged to go to a building that was being built, gave a small cart, and began to transport materials.
There are a lot of things transported, sometimes bricks, sometimes cement, sometimes simple building materials, and the place of work is not fixed.
Meng Changlin and Wang Qiang were also arranged for similar work, and the three of them were scattered around the construction site, so they could meet and chat during dinner.
Lin Qingdu still thinks too easily about the work on the construction site, but after two days of work, his body has a sense of exhaustion, one is that the food is too poor and the nutrition is insufficient, and the other is that the old fritters on the construction site see that Lin Qingdu is tender, willing to work hard, and diligent, and constantly call him, so don't say that a little Taoist priest who builds a foundation, even if the three big green cows come, they can't stand it.
Many workers went to the restaurant because the lunch box was too bad, but Lin Qingdu felt that the restaurant was too expensive, so he didn't go.
Lin Qingdu didn't know that a few young workers had already opened a gambling plate in private, and they bet that he could support it for a few days.
It was noon, the sun was just right, and although it was already late autumn and winter was about to begin, it was still a steaming scene on the construction site. Lin Qingdu had just pulled a cart of materials, sat on the railing and wiped his sweat with a towel hanging around his neck, when someone called him not far away and asked him to go over and take a hand.
Lin Qingdu was just about to go over, but was stopped by an old man who was working with him, and the old man turned his face and scolded on the other side: "Dog, do your own work!" ”
Lin Qingdu smiled and said, "It's okay, I still have the strength, and it's good to help in the past." ”
"You melon coward, how much work have you done today, it's fake that you're not tired, just rest here!"
Lin Qingdu had no choice but to follow the old man's wishes and sit down to rest.
This old man is also a strange man, don't look at his dry and thin figure, black and small, he can be a little unambiguous when he works, every time he pulls the car, he doesn't care whether it's cold or not, he takes off his coat, revealing his ribs, in his words, don't spoil his coat, anyway, a job will definitely have to sweat an acre.
He pushed the rope on the cart to his shoulders, and the two slender legs exerted force one after the other, and the green tendons on his neck burst out, and the muscles on his body were immediately revealed.
And the old man didn't want others to instruct Lin Qingdu to do that, and the most he said was to let him rest quickly, and when the two got acquainted with each other, Lin Qingdu knew that the reason why the old man was so good to him was because his grandson was about the same age as him, and every time the old man talked about his grandson, the pride on his face couldn't be hidden.
The old man's son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident at an early age, leaving an old man and a young man to rely on each other, and the children also studied on their own, and were admitted to university and master's degrees!
That's a master's student, even more powerful than a college student, and the reason why the old man came out to work at such an old age was to subsidize his grandson's living expenses, and he secretly came out to do it without his grandson.
Lin Qingdu will also show admiration at the appropriate time to satisfy the old man's vanity, every time he chats, the old man will pat him on the shoulder and say: "Xiaolin, you are still young, you have earned money, you still have to study, at least finish high school, you can't do this work on the construction site for a long time, and if you do it for a long time, you will be wasted!" ”
Lin Qingdu asked, "Then haven't you worked for half your life?" ”
"I'm different from you, different!"
The old man just waved his hand, but he didn't say what the difference was!
Today, the red sun slowly sinks on the edge of the city, the sunset is extraordinarily gorgeous, and the fiery clouds set half the sky on fire. The sky is half light and half dark, and it will be too late.
Lin Qingdu found Meng Changlin and Wang Qiang when he received a boxed lunch, and the two of them were reluctant to spend money to go to the restaurant.
"I'll take you somewhere!"
"Where's the dinner?"
"You'll find out when you go."
Wang Qiang didn't want to go, but was half-pulled and half-pushed by Lin Qingdu, and forcibly took him over.
The three of them took a boxed lunch and took the elevator directly to the roof of the building.
A thick metal beam stretched out, and Lin Qingdu pointed at the beam with his chin, "Look at your guts, do you dare to go over?" ”
Ordinary people just look at the height of 10,000 zhang below, and they will be scared to their legs, but these two people really look normal and walk up directly.
"Well, be careful!"
Lin Qingdu hurriedly spoke, and the two walked quite steadily, until they walked to the middle of the beam, and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Qingdu also walked over, and the three of them sat side by side on the tall building, watching the sunset on the horizon.
The light of dusk is golden and distant, the setting sun seems to flow in front of you, and the clear blue sky in the distance is intertwined, and the figure below becomes a small black dot, which feels transparent and unreal.
The orange glow sprinkled on the faces of the three of them, and Lin Qingdu smiled exceptionally clearly, "How is it here, the scenery is good!" ”
"That's good!" Meng Changlin sighed in admiration.
Wang Qiang didn't speak, bowed his head and ate a boxed lunch.
If noon is a long tune of wind and dragonflies, then dusk is a minor key of smoke, the memory returns with a breath, and the air between the three of them is silent for a while, and they all quietly look at the scenery in front of them, each falling into some kind of memory.
Lin Qingdu coughed, "I've seen you all sullen these days, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"We're so old, we're always going to have some troubles, don't you?"
Lin Qingdu thought about it, and he was right, he was originally on the mountain, and he was worried every day about whether this month's subsidy would come down, whether the rice was enough to eat, and after going down the mountain, he was looking forward to the time when he was paid.
"That's right!"
"We don't ask you, don't you have to ask us?"
"Don't ask, don't ask, just let you have fun when you eat, smell the wind, see the color of the sunset, and listen to the sound of the clouds."
When Wang Qiang heard this at this time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know if he was laughing, Lin Qingdu took out an old radio from his arms, "This is what I borrowed from someone else, it should be good." He turned on the radio, made a rustling sound, and suddenly turned the channel and the music started.
"Promise" The past life makes me more and more depressed, and the lost love is sweeter, sometimes the dreamer will always wake up, don't wake me up, I'm not dreaming
A few years, three lives of drunken dreams, half a bottle of cool autumn, the sunset is especially gentle, and it is romantic at the moment.
The three of them faced the sunset side by side, listening to music and eating a boxed lunch.
The lunch box seems to be mixed with the smell of sunset, and it becomes delicious.
Just as the three of them were eating a boxed lunch, they heard a commotion from below, and when they looked down, a group of workers surrounded the contractor, who was holding a wooden stick and beating a person.
Lin Qingdu lifted his eyes and looked down.
The man who was beaten was the old man!
