After settling down for a few days, Xiang Wentian familiarized himself with the situation around the construction site. This was a small path in Red Valley Bay, located in a relatively remote place in Wanli District. North of the main road along the river, there was a small river flowing through there. The river water flowed into the Red River. There was a small bridge that had been there for many years. On the other side of the bridge was the rural area. Further ahead was the sea, which was connected to the East Sea.
At the end of the Red Valley Bay trail was the small park that Huang Jin often brought them to. If they walked along the bright road of the small park, they would reach the Red River District. The small park was a park that connected the Wanli District and the Red River District. The Wanli District Party Committee Compound was also not far from Wanli Road, which led to Bright Avenue.
His life had a routine. Although his quality of life was not very satisfactory, Xiang Wentian, who had a long-term goal, began to train early or late. He had not practiced martial arts for ten to twenty days, so he was probably a little rusty. When he was busy with work, he would get up early and go to the small park to exercise. He could still bear the work. At night, he would quietly bring Goldie to the small bridge. It was closer to the suburbs and was quieter, suitable for exercise.
At this moment, Goldie and Xiang Wentian were depending on each other for survival. It was not easy for the two of them to reach this stage. Now that Goldie wanted to practice martial arts with Xiang Wentian, Xiang Wentian would never consider it in the past. However, he did not think so now. This person could still follow him. Moreover, Goldie had some superficial martial arts, so it would be useful for him to protect Xiang Wentian. More importantly, he had already treated Goldie as a true brother in his heart. They were brothers, so Xiang Wentian naturally had to satisfy this small request.
It wasn't too difficult to adapt to the work on the construction site day by day. At the beginning, he felt so tired that he felt like he was about to break down after work. Gradually, he could wolf down his meals after work and go out to exercise at night. He didn't feel the bitterness of this kind of life unconsciously. However, his hands had also unknowingly honed a thick layer of old skin. The pair of tender hands that had been holding the pen could no longer be seen. The fair skin on her face had also turned a little black like the workers.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had been at this small construction site for nearly half a month. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The country did not have a legal holiday, but it was a traditional festival that the people of the country were very concerned about. The little boss of the construction site knew very well, so he gave everyone half a day off. If they wanted to reunite with their families in the city, they could spend half a day together. If they wanted to call their families, they could also relax and talk on the phone.
In fact, Huang Jin's subordinates told him that the small boss of the construction site was not in a hurry for the time being. According to the construction requirements, the construction site had already exceeded the schedule. The construction site could be completed by the end of the year. However, it seemed that the small boss of the construction site, who had changed hands a few times, had not received the due funds from the second boss. The salary paid last month was paid by the small boss's own old capital. Otherwise, everyone would not have started work. This salary had been agreed upon and had to be settled on a monthly basis.
The salary did not have much to do with Xiang Wentian. According to the little boss's request, all strangers had to pay a deposit, or work for a month to hold down this month's salary as a deposit for their own work at the construction site. Both of them were penniless. In addition, their master, Brother Ren, had introduced them, so they were exempted. However, there was no salary to be paid. They would wait until the end of the month to calculate it.
With half a day off, Huang Jin took the two of them to the streets. At the public phone booth on the street, Huang Jin went in to call his family while the two of them waited outside. After about two to three minutes, Huang Jin came out and said to the two of them,"It's already the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't you call your family and tell them that you're safe?”
"Two days ago, I wrote a letter to my family, so I don't have to call them anymore."”
Huang Jin didn't think much of it and said,"Oh, you wrote a letter? That's fine. Anyway, it's enough as long as the family knows how you're doing outside. What about the yellow-haired guy? Did your boss also write the letter?”
The yellow-haired guy nodded. Of course, this matter would be handled by his boss. In fact, there was another reason why he didn't want to make a phone call. A phone call would cost one or two yuan, and sending a letter would only cost a few cents. Moreover, he and the blonde were in such a state, so it would be difficult to explain to his family. If he spoke directly on the phone, he might accidentally reveal something, and it would be difficult to explain to his family. Writing a letter to his family to report the good news but not the bad news would naturally save some trouble.
"Then is the letter sent to our home the address of our construction site? Otherwise, your family won't reply.”Huang Jin asked with concern.
Xiang Wentian shook his head and said,"I didn't write down the address, and maybe when they reply, they won't even know where we are."”
This was what he thought in his heart. He was definitely not satisfied with his current job, but life forced him to be like this for now. If there was a chance, he wanted to leave this place and find a better job. Otherwise, he would not be able to make a living in this life. He didn't write the address on the envelope because he didn't want his family to know what he was doing.
This time, no matter how uncouth Huang Jin was, he could hear what he meant. He thought for a moment and said,"That's right, Xiao Xiang. With your ability, you can actually work in the company. It's not like us who have only been working for a few days. We don't have the knowledge and culture to find good jobs.”
The blonde also said,"Brother, you don't know. Boss was a national cadre at home. I'm not convinced that he's in such a bad position here."”
Xiang Wentian smiled at the blonde and said,"This is nothing. As long as the two of us can stand firm here, there will always be opportunities. Goldie, thank you. You didn't complain about suffering these days.”
When Huang Jin heard this, it was a little different. It was a little like a boss talking. At this time, he could still be like this. He said,"Xiao Xiang, only you can control this blonde. He's famous at home for not listening to his parents. By the way, did you hear what Brother Ren said tonight? Did you ask him to go to his house for the Mid-Autumn Festival?”
Xiang Wentian nodded and said," Brother Ren told us when he finished work. He asked me and Goldie to go to his house for the Mid-Autumn Festival. He said that we were from the same hometown and that we should celebrate the festival together."”
"This is also because Brother Ren and Sister-in-law are good people. The couple brought their child here to work, and life is not easy.”Huang Jin sighed and said," It's not the first time you've come in. You don't have to bring anything this time. Let's go together."”
"That's not good, right? The last time we went to Brother Ren's house, we were empty-handed. This time, shouldn't we grab something? After all, it was my and Goldie's sincerity?”Xiang Wentian asked hesitantly. The last time Brother Qiu Ren introduced them to the construction site, the two of them did not have any money with them, so they naturally did not have the ability to buy anything.
Seeing that he said so, Huang Jin suggested buying some fruit. If they bought it too expensive, it would not be possible with their current financial ability. They had to borrow money from everyone to eat. If it was too cheap, they might as well not buy it. A few catties of fruit looked good too.
After returning from Brother Ren's house, the two of them went to the so-called bed to get a change of clothes and prepare to take a shower. When she entered the dormitory, she was instantly dumbfounded.
The dormitory was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol, mixed with the smell of tobacco. There were cigarette butts on the ground in front of Xiang Wentian's bed. This was nothing, but the bed that they slept on was the straw mat that Huang Jin had given them. It was stained with stains one after another. There were a few spots that were shiny. Perhaps they had gotten it on the mat when they were drinking in the dormitory.
The mat was so dirty that he couldn't sleep. Xiang Wentian was angry, but the yellow-haired guy was even angrier. This was unbearable at first glance, but when he looked again, the yellow-haired guy couldn't help but curse,"Damn it, which wicked person did this? Do you still want to live?"
The blonde couldn't help but curse. He really couldn't help it. The only clothes that the two of them had on the bed were crumpled and thrown to the corner of the mat. When he opened it, he saw that it was stained with oil. Where would the two of them change into tonight? He couldn't possibly not change his clothes on such a hot day, right? It wasn't like a while ago, where he had no choice.
There were a few Tianzhou guys in the dormitory. The big black guy was lying on the upper bunk and staring at them, but he didn't say anything. He probably hadn't figured out what happened last time. Xiang Wentian saw that these people did not say anything. He was sure that it was these people from Tianzhou who did it. Although he was angry, since they did not say anything, he could not accuse them of doing it. Moreover, it was better to save time for the two of them. Why bother with these people?
Xiang Wentian used his hand to stop the blondie from shouting as if nothing had happened."Goldie, go take a shower. Just wash the mat and clothes a little more. Don't disturb everyone's sleep.”
Xiang Wentian rolled up the clothes and mat and threw them to Goldie. He then picked up the broom in the dormitory and cleaned up the cigarette butts and rubbish. The yellow-haired guy looked at him in a daze. Was this the boss he had been following? The tanned man, who had been watching from the beginning to the end, was even more confused. Was this that pretty boy? Could it be that he could really hold her so tightly that she couldn't move at all? Looking at his behavior, it didn't seem like it at all!
