Lao Song is a construction site painting exterior wall worker, he was an eighteen-year-old apprentice, worked diligently for 25 years, the craft is very exquisite, is the only master in the construction team.

But lately, something has gone wrong with his job.

On this day, Lao Song, as usual, painted the exterior wall with his workers on the hanging board outside the construction site.

It stands to reason that doing this kind of work, people's brains are very nervous and exciting, and their attention will be highly concentrated.

It is also because of this that façade workers are well paid.

But Lao Song is a journeyman, knowing that this line of work just looks scary, in fact, the worker is hung by several safety ropes, the danger is far smaller than it seems, after a long time, he will only feel bored and dull when he does this job, and there is no difference between standing on the suspension bridge and standing on the ground.

At this moment, Lao Song was brushing the outer wall on the suspension bridge, staring at the wall in front of him, brushing and brushing, but he suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and couldn't help but open his mouth and yawn.

He hasn't slept well recently, his eldest son has graduated from college for several months, his job has never been settled, and his second daughter is still in college, because he didn't do well in the college entrance examination, and he is just an ordinary undergraduate.

Seeing that the employment situation is getting worse year by year, and the boss has not made a good start, so Lao Song Chou couldn't sleep well all night.

I don't know what to do with these two children in the future.

Just thinking like this, he suddenly felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he fought up and down uncontrollably, and gradually closed his eyes, and he actually stood on the suspension bridge and dozed off.

In the next second, his center of gravity was unbalanced, his head dragged his body, and he leaned forward, and the brush he was holding in his hand fell off his hand with a "click" and fell to the ground more than ten meters high.

"Old Song!"

An angry roar sounded in his ears, waking Lao Song up suddenly, and then a hand forcefully grabbed Lao Song's collar and dragged him back from the edge of falling:

"You don't want to die!"

Looking at the ground more than ten meters high, Lao Song was afraid for a while, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and sat down directly on the suspension bridge with his legs weak, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The old worker next to him looked at Lao Song, pointed at his nose and scolded angrily:

"Dare to doze off on the suspension bridge, you are a birthday boy who eats arsenic - you have a long life! Go to sleep! Don't hurt me here! ”

Lao Song came back to his senses, looked at his co-worker apologetically, and said with a wry smile:

"Thank you, Lao Wang, I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I'm a little negligent."

He also knows that dozing off on the suspension bridge is dangerous, but this is the same as the driver of a truck running a long-distance freight car, after a long time, the brain has become accustomed to this level of stimulation, accustomed to this kind of working environment, and dozing off is not uncommon.

When the worker Lao Wang heard this, he had a rare serious face, shook his head and criticized:

"Old Song, you can't go on like this, how many times have you been this month? I can't promise I'll be able to pull you next time. ”

"Look at your dark circles, it's like a panda, if you can't do it, you can take a leave of absence for ten days and a half months."

Lao Song waved his hand and stood up from the suspension bridge again, but the whole person still didn't care:

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll stand it, I'll get a good night's sleep when I go back tonight, and I'll be fine tomorrow."

"I can't bear to rest when I do this job for several days a day."

Saying this, he couldn't help but yawn.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from below:

"Old Song, you come down for me!"

Lao Song and the others hurriedly lowered their heads, but found that one of them was holding the brush that Lao Song had dropped and was waving at him.

It was none other than the foreman Li Dou.

His face was covered with frost, and his eyes glared at Lao Song viciously, even if he was more than ten meters away, he could still feel his anger.

Lao Song's face changed greatly: Didn't the foreman find out?

Next to him, Lao Wang patted Lao Song on the shoulder and gave him a look of self-begging:

"Go ahead, maybe you're going to have to take a break now."

Old Song sighed and slowly lowered the suspension bridge.

Not long after, Lao Song stood in front of the foreman Li Dou with a face.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket with a flattering face:

"Brother Li, what are you looking for me?"

The two of them are still fellow villagers, and when they were able to join this construction team, it was for the sake of their fellow villagers that they let Lao Song in.

Li Dou took a puff of cigarette, frowned, and looked at Lao Song with a serious face:

"You dozed off again, didn't you?"

"How many times has this been? You don't want to live anymore, do you? ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Lao Song smiled:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I haven't slept well in the past few days, so I'll just rest at noon."

However, Li Dou did not speak as well as usual this time.

He frowned tightly and said to Lao Song in a serious tone:

"Old Song, this month, I have found that I have dozed off more than five times, and this is not counting the reactions that other people have given me, if you continue like this, something will happen sooner or later!"

"According to the rules, in your case, I can't let you do exterior wall work anymore."

When Lao Song heard this, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly grabbed Li Dou's hand:

"Brother Li, don't, what else can I do if I don't make an exterior wall, I've been doing it for decades, and I've relied on my craft to support my family, you give me a chance."

The façade work pays quite well, working for a day to pay for other jobs for several days, and now is the time when he needs money, and he can't afford to lose anything.

Li Dou looked at Lao Song helplessly:

"Old Song, it's okay if I call you brother! You are an exterior wall, a dangerous operation at height! If you're not careful, you're going to die, how can you give me a chance, and if something happens in the future, who will give me a chance? ”

"Do you know that once you have an accident, dozens or hundreds of people on the entire construction site will be stopped, the construction site is over, the project is over, and everyone's wages are over, how many families like you are behind it."

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't think about us people, you have to think about yourself, if something happens to you, what will happen to your younger siblings, and what will happen to the children at home?"

Lao Song lowered his head and couldn't say a word, just tugging on Li Dou's hand, but he refused to let go.

Li Dou had no choice but to say irritably:

"Otherwise, you go back and rest for a few days, and then if you are sleepy, you can come back."

Lao Song knew that Li Dou could do this, which was already considered to be benevolent and righteous, and he also took risks, so he had to nod at the moment, turned around and walked out of the construction site in disappointment.

At his age, he can only do such a craft, and once he leaves the construction site, he will be completely unemployed.

Lao Song also didn't know why his insomnia had become more and more serious recently, so that he didn't have the slightest energy to support him to work all day during the day.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and after walking out of the gate of the construction site, he did not go home as soon as possible, but walked to a small shop converted into a container not far away.

Lao Song wanted to get drunk and drink to kill his sorrows.
