Chapter 3 Sudden Change
Take a closer look, talking about three middle-aged men of medium height wearing slightly ragged yellow helmets. Xia Yufeng walked over and greeted them in his hometown dialect. The three middle-aged men saw that the young man in front of them was a fellow villager and immediately became enthusiastic and familiar with him. The so-called fellow villagers burst into tears when they see fellow villagers. Xia Yufeng felt extremely cordial when she saw these three fellow villagers. After sighing, Xia Yufeng poured out the bitter water that had been in her heart in the past few days, from why she left home to not being able to find a job.
The three fellow villagers looked at the young and young Xia Yufeng in front of them and listened to him. Without thinking of the child who was studying at home at his age, an unspeakable pain poured into their hearts.
"Son, well, if you don't mind you coming to the place where we work, but it's hard work, and you have to be able to endure hardships." One of the middle-aged people, after thinking for a while, patted Xia Yufeng on the shoulder and said with concern.
"Uncle, thank you. Don't worry, I can eat anything. Besides, I have no choice now." Xia Yufeng warmed his heart and answered sincerely. Then, Xia Yufeng and three fellow villagers talked about their work without saying a word on the platform.
After Xia Yufeng came to the construction site with them, one of his fellow villagers took him to the project department to discuss with the person in charge of the construction site. The person in charge looked at Xia Yufeng's thin body and childish face, and his face couldn't help but hesitate. As soon as the fellow villager saw this situation, he told the person in charge a simple story about the experience Xia Yufeng had told them before. Hearing this, the person in charge did not show the reluctance and embarrassment just now. After pondering for a while, he nodded to Xia Yufeng and said, "Xiaofeng, right? Lao Lin and I have been with me for several years. Since Lao Lin has spoken, I naturally have to help with this, but I still want to tell you that the work on this construction site is not easy. I often have to work in the hot sun, and it is basically heavy work. You have to be able to endure hard. That's it. Can you do it?"
"Manager Li, don't worry, there is no problem with hardship. I will definitely do it well," Xia Yufeng responded hurriedly
"Ode, let Lao Lin arrange it with you. If there is no problem, go to work tomorrow."
Out of the office, Uncle Lin said to me relaxedly, "A Feng, now that Manager Li has promised you to stay. Now go back and move your things here. This will be your home in the future."
"Thank you, Uncle Lin" Xia Yufeng and Uncle Lin nodded slightly to thank him, and then turned back to his residence to pack up.
When Xia Yufeng took his things to the construction site, it was already dark. After placing the things under Uncle Lin's help, he settled down.
Xia Yufeng picked up a bottle of water and looked at the room while drinking. Four bunk beds, two tables, and two floor-mounted electric fans are nothing else. Looking at this "home" Xia Yufeng really has an indescribable feeling.
"Afeng, let's go to dinner first, go to bed early after dinner, and we have to work tomorrow." Uncle Lin patted Xia Yufeng, who was in a trance, and said.
"En". Then Xia Yufeng followed Uncle Lin out with a rice bowl.
After dinner, I returned to the room and it was already dark. At this time, all the others living in this room were also gathered. After Uncle Lin introduced Xia Yufeng to them one by one, the six workers also expressed their love for Xia Yufeng's experience and constantly comforted him to be strong.
After a greeting, Xia Yufeng sat in the room in a daze. Others gathered around a table playing cards. Xia Yufeng did not participate in their ranks. After sitting for a while, she felt bored and went out to take a shower with her clothes. I went to bed early after taking a shower. Lying **, Xia Yufeng put her hands behind her head, staring at the ceiling and wandering away...
There was no dream all night. When Xia Yufeng woke up, he found that his roommates had all got up and the quilt was messy and distorted in **. He also got up quickly, and then simply ate something and followed Uncle Lin to the construction site. At this time, on such a large construction site, uncles and aunts stuck to their respective positions, including cement-carrying, brick-carrying, nailing formwork and concrete mixing. Looking at them so busy, Xia Yufeng suddenly didn't know what to do.
"Xiaofeng, go with me to install a protective Internet cafe," Uncle Lin handed Xia Yufeng a helmet, and then pointed to the building in front of him that knew how to rebuild.
In July, it is no exaggeration to describe Shenzhen as a stove. Xia Yufeng, who stood on the scaffolding on the 12th floor to help Uncle Lin install a protective net, sweated like rain at the beginning to now his clothes are all wet. This feeling is really uncomfortable, and his head feels dizzy. Xia Yufeng, who has never experienced this kind of work, has actually been tired and almost exhausted, but he stuck to it bitterly.
It's not easy to find a job. Now it's not easy to have a job, no matter how hard it is, you have to stand it.
After a day's work, Xia Yufeng immediately lay down after taking a shower at night. His feet were no longer able to load, and his whole body was sore. Gradually, the workers turned off the lights and went to sleep one after another, but Xia Yufeng, who had been lying for a long time, could not sleep. Open your eyes wide and look at the ceiling blankly.
Mom, where are you? How are you doing? Mom, I really miss you.
Grandma, are you asleep? Do you still cough at night?
Unconsciously, tears flooded in this dark night again.
More than two months have passed in a flash. The overloaded work every day has faded the childishness of Xia Yufeng. The sun not only tanned his skin, but also squeezed out his wet heart and became unusually hard. At the same time, he became more and more silent.
Today is the completion period of this project. Xia Yufeng, Uncle Lin and several other workers stood on the third floor to dismantle the final template, and the mobile phone in their pocket suddenly buzzed. He quickly stopped his work and picked up the phone, and the screen showed A Qin's name.
"Hey, Aqin, why are you free to call me today?"
"Afeng, your grandmother is in the hospital. I'm afraid..." A Qin's words made Xia Yufeng's heart suddenly become as heavy as lead. His brain was blank and fixed there in a daze. Xia Yufeng was stunned for a long time before waking up.
"Aqin, I know. I'll be right back." Xia Yufeng didn't need to say anything more. In response, he hurriedly hung up the phone, stumbled downstairs, left the construction site, and rushed to the office to ask Manager Li for leave.
"Ask for leave. What leave are you asking for now? Is there anything urgent?" Manager Li was stunned when he heard Xia Yufeng say that he was going to ask for leave. Today is the completion period of the project, and because it is the completion period, the work has to be completed. The demolition of the template and the cleaning of the site are also quite heavy.
"Manager Li, my grandmother is seriously ill and the situation is not very good. I have to go back." Xia Yufeng hurriedly explained.
The person in charge pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, all right." After saying that, he took out an envelope from the drawer.
"I was going to pay you tonight, but now you have to leave. I'll give it to you now." Xia Yufeng took the envelope handed over by Manager Li and didn't have time to count it. She hurriedly said thank you to him and turned around and left in a hurry.
I went to the dormitory to pack some clothes and rushed to the railway station. The fellow villagers didn't have time to say goodbye, so they had to call him on the way to explain.
Fortunately, at this time, it is not the rush hour, and there is no traffic jam on the road. I arrived at the railway station smoothly. And buy instant tickets. Sitting in the waiting hall, Xia Yufeng clenched the train ticket to Z City and was anxious.
Thinking of the painful look of his grandmother lying sick**, Xia Yufeng's heart was as painful as a knife. From the beginning to now, the best people for Xia Yufeng are mother and grandmother. He doesn't know what the so-called father's love is, because he hasn't felt it since he was born.
From childhood to childhood, Xia Yufeng was beaten in the face of his father's scolding, but his mother did not dare to stop him because of his inherent strength except for the subsequent comfort. Xia Yufeng's mother is the most ordinary woman, docile, virtuous and considerate, but she is also cowardly, at least in front of male power.
At this time, grandma usually comes forward to stop it. Therefore, her love for Xia Yufeng has created Xia Yufeng's deep feelings for her, and she has been closest to her since she was a child.
