find sweet

Zhou Wu is a well-known Zhou Papi.

His son wanted to follow Zhao Yuhai to the construction site to work as a part-time worker to earn money. He couldn't be too happy, so there was no way he would object.

On the contrary, his mother, Li Xiangyun, was a little worried that Chen Xi's health would be too much for her, but she was too resigned and had no right to speak at home.

Two days before the departure, Zhou Wu had a rare conscience discovery, and specially asked his wife to buy two pairs of non-slip rubber shoes and sleeve covers for Chen Xi when he went to the market the next day.

On the day of departure, there were eight people in the group. The others, no matter they were single or couples, had motorcycles. Chen Xi took Zhao Yuhai's off-road vehicle.

Zhao Yuhai originally wanted to ride a motorcycle, but he was worried that Chen Xi would not be able to do it then, so that he could send it back to someone and it would be more convenient for him to drive.

This time he took the job of building a villa by himself, with labor and materials. In a township in the next county, a little far from Tangjiagou, it takes an hour and a half by motorcycle. Containers will be placed next to the construction site. A place to sleep, of course, if you are not too tired, you can ride a motorcycle back to your home to sleep every day.

He didn't lower Chen Xi's wages, but gave them the market price at that time, 160 yuan a day, including three meals.

Chen Xi had no objection to this, and was even grateful.

The two of them didn't talk much, and they didn't know each other very well. They didn't chat much all the way. Only when they were about to arrive, Zhao Yuhai asked him: "Your father, no, did your little uncle tell you the precautions?"

Chen Xi subconsciously shook his head, thinking that he was in the back row and he couldn't see him, so he said, "No, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"You need to pay attention to your safety." Zhao Yuhai glanced at him from the rearview mirror, and after looking back, he began to tell him seriously, "Remember, nothing is more important than your own safety. If you can't bear it then, don't hold on , I’ll take you back. Stay away from the excavator when you’re working, and watch when you’re walking. Don’t step on the wood on the construction site. There may be nails on it. Among us, Xiaojiu and his brothers are particularly gamblers In the future, if they ask you to go out to drink and sing or something, don't go out alone with them, be careful of being tricked..."

He rarely opened his mouth to say a lot.

Chen Xi was dumbfounded.

He thought that working as a part-time job was simply hard work and would be very tiring, but he didn't expect that there were other ways in it.

"I see, thank you Brother Yu Hai."

He thought for a while and then emphasized: "I'm not afraid of being tired, my body can bear it."

His parents have spent countless thoughts and money over the years to help him take care of his body. Although he looks thin, his physical fitness is actually not bad. In the past two years, he has rarely even had a cold.

Zhao Yuhai still couldn't understand where his stubbornness came from, why did he want to make money so much?

According to people in the village, Chen Xi's adoptive parents are very rich.

They have no other brothers and sisters, even if the perpetrator did not lose money in the end, there should be an inheritance.

Although Zhou Wu is picky, he is not stupid.

In the future, Chen Xi should be able to find a job casually after graduating from university.

Even if it is regarded as an investment, it is also a profitable investment.

Wouldn't he not even give tuition and living expenses?

"Anyway, don't be brave. If you can't do it then, I can introduce you to a hot pot restaurant in the county to do a part-time job. Although it is tiring, you don't have to bask in the sun and don't need to work hard."

Chen Xi lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "The wages of hot pot restaurants are not as high as those of small workers."

Zhao Yuhai was silent.

After holding back for a while, I still couldn't hold back: "Are you afraid that your little uncle will not pay you living expenses then?"

Chen Xi heard the temptation in his words, looked up silently, a little hesitant to speak.

He didn't want outsiders to know his plan, but he instinctively felt that Zhao Yuhai shouldn't be the kind of person who likes to gossip.

After hesitating for a long time, he opened his mouth, but he didn't answer Zhao Yuhai's question directly, but told him another thing.

"When my parents passed away, they left an inheritance of about 60 yuan. My uncle told me that he would use it to buy me a smaller house in City B. I believed him, but he later told me , I am underage and do not have full capacity for civil conduct, so his name is written on the house, saying that it will be transferred to me later."

What Zhou Wu ate, do you expect him to willingly spit it out again?

He didn't believe it.

He still doesn't have the ability to completely tear himself apart with Zhou Wu, so he can only endure it, and can only find a way to find another way out.

Zhao Yuhai didn't expect his own father to be so shameless that he even schemed against his own son.

He was a little dumb: "Sorry."

He shouldn't be asking around.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Yuhai still felt that he should apologize for his curiosity and recklessness, after all, this was poking someone's wound.

Imagine, if it were him, he could tear Zhou Wu alive.

So fucking bottomless.

"It's okay." Chen Xi said sincerely, "I'm already very grateful that you let me go out to work with you."

Zhao Yuhai didn't say anything more, he wasn't very good at comforting people, and he didn't know Chen Xi that well, so he didn't have the position to meddle in other people's family affairs.

They arrived at the destination before 08:30 in the morning, and the materials had already entered the site. Everyone started construction after unloading their luggage. When the line was unloaded, the excavator was also on site. Chen Xi was arranged to make formwork and tie steel bars with others, and wait for the excavator. After the foundation pit was dug, he and others put formwork and steel bars into the foundation pit, and then someone pulled a bucket truck to pour concrete into the foundation pit.

The first day is basically repeating these tasks.

It was easier than Chen Xi expected, but it was very dirty. After a day, his body was covered in mud and sunburned.

He is not afraid of getting dirty, but afraid of the sun.

His natural skin is cold and fair, and his skin is tender, and his face and the back of his neck are red after tanning.

It was itchy and painful when I ate at night, and I didn't even take two bites of the meal.

Zhao Yuhai was busy all day arranging various tasks and contacting material suppliers. He only saw Chen Xi's face sunburned when he was having dinner at night.

"Don't scratch!" He stopped Chen Xi's attempt to scratch his face, walked over and squeezed Chen Xi's chin, looked around, and told him, "Hold on for a while, I'll go to the street to buy medicine for you."

"No, it's fine." Chen Xi was afraid that he would think he was troublesome, so he wouldn't let him do it then, and hurriedly said, "I'll pat it with cold water later to cool down, and it will be fine tomorrow, really fine."

Zhao Yuhai heard the cautiousness and nervousness in his words, took a deep look at him, frowned slightly, turned around and left without saying a word.

Chen Xi looked at his back with some anxiety.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Yuhai came back with a transparent plastic bag in his hand, which contained a tube of aloe vera gel and a stick of mometasone furoate cream.

He walked up to Chen Xi, handed the things to him, and explained: "First apply aloe vera gel, apply it thicker, wash it off after half an hour, and then apply this cream."

Chen Xi patted it with cold water for a long time, but his face was still hot. He didn't know if his method would work or not, but he instinctively trusted him, and after taking the thing, he applied a thick layer on his face.

When painting the back of his neck, Zhao Yuhai saw that he was struggling a bit, so he said, "Give it to me."

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then realized that he wanted to apply it for himself, and handed him the aloe vera gel: "Thank you, Brother Yu Hai."

"Undo one more button of your shirt." Zhao Yuhai pulled his collar back so that all the sunburned areas could be exposed, and he didn't forget to give him advice, "In this kind of place It’s best not to wear such light-colored shirts for work, it’s hard to wash if they get dirty, wear a darker T-shirt that’s more resistant to dirt, and put a towel around your neck to wipe off sweat and block the sun.”

"Okay, I'll remember it, thank you Yu Hai." Chen Xi directly undid two buttons, lifted the collar and turned back, revealing a large area of ​​skin, and lowered his head consciously so that he could wipe it off.

He is really too white, and his pores are so fine, even if he didn't take a shower right now, the fine dust on it can't cover up the delicate feeling that can be broken by blowing bullets. He suddenly hit Zhao Yuhai in front of him, making him frown, To repeat the old saying: "I went to work all day today, how do you feel?"

Hearing his suddenly serious tone, Chen Xi stiffened his back, and immediately said: "I'm not as tired as I imagined, I can do it."

Zhao Yuhai sighed, and sent him a reassurance: "As long as you can persevere, I won't send you back."

Only then did Chen Xi slowly relax his back: "Thank you Brother Yu Hai, I can persevere."

Zhao Yuhai was noncommittal, silently wiped the aloe vera on him, and then went to other things.

I have to say that his simple method really worked. Half an hour later, the redness on Chen Xi's face miraculously faded away, and it didn't itch much anymore.

He took a bath with the bucket, and then applied the ointment according to Zhao Yuhai's method.

In the dead of night, the sky is dotted with stars.

Everyone was tired all day, and fell asleep not long after falling out of bed.

All eight sleep in a shipping container.

Although there was no one sleeping in Chen Xi's upper bunk, it was only a small space, and someone was snoring loudly.

The voice rang in my ears, and I couldn't hide it.

Chen Xi was originally a little nervous, tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep due to the noise.

He was a little restless.

Zhao Yuhai remembered the day when the project was completed, calculated the materials, ordered the materials for tomorrow, and took his clothes to take a shower after finishing all the work.

He didn't boil the water, just washed it in cold water.

When I came back, I saw Chen Xi sitting at the door of the container next door (temporary cafeteria and temporary office), with his head down, playing with his mobile phone.

He didn't go there either, and went back to the dormitory, brushed his hair and prepared to go to bed.

He thought that Chen Xi was chatting with a friend on the phone and would return after the chat, but it was almost eleven o'clock and no one returned.

Chen Xi blocked her ears, when she suddenly heard him calling her, she was startled, and dropped her phone to the ground.

He quickly picked up the phone, pulled out the earplugs, and shouted, "Brother Yu Hai."

Zhao Yuhai's eyesight is very good, just now his eyes accidentally glanced at Chen Xi's mobile phone interface.

He is texting people.

It's all green dialog boxes.

The person on the other side didn't answer him.

He thought it was Chen Xi who was in love, but it wasn't until Chen Xi's phone fell to the ground that he realized that he was wrong.

Because he saw the words on the top of the dialog box: a family of three.

More than a year.

He was still sending messages to his dead parents.

Chen Xi looked up at him with a panicked expression: "Did I disturb you?"

His eyes were a little red and wet, timid and confused like a lost deer in the forest, looking pitiful and innocent.

Zhao Yuhai didn't think he was soft-hearted, but when he first met his gaze, there was a sudden desire to protect him without warning, and he even had an urge to protect him.

It's ridiculous.

He suppressed the inexplicable feeling in his heart, and asked, "Is it because they snore so loudly that you can't sleep?"

"No, it's because I'm not very sleepy yet, so I wanted to come out and look at the stars." Chen Xi lied.

Zhao Yuhai didn't believe it.

How can I not be sleepy, tired all day.

Now he was sleepy.

Can Chen Xi have as much physical strength as him?

Chen Xi didn't wait for him to question, and changed the subject: "By the way, Brother Yu Hai, I'll pass it on to you for the total amount of medicine bought today."

"No, it will be deducted from your salary then."

Zhao Yuhai came back to his senses and didn't expose him, he just said: "Tomorrow you have to get up early, don't play too late."

"Okay, I'll go to sleep later."

"Is your face better?"

"It doesn't itch anymore, but it still hurts a little when I touch it." Chen Xi said with admiration in his eyes, "Brother Yu Hai, you are so amazing, I feel like you know everything."

Zhao Yuhai is obviously only five years older than him, but he doesn't feel like a brother, like an uncle.

It’s not that he is old, but that he has a calm and steady temperament. He has a lot of life experience, and he also feels like he can do everything at work. He can read drawings, make budgets, and tinker with various machines. Install water and electricity.

Being praised sincerely by others, Zhao Yuhai still enjoyed it in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

He was about to say something, when Chen Xi suddenly shouted excitedly: "Brother Yu Hai, look, there are shooting stars!"

Zhao Yuhai followed his gaze, and sure enough there was a meteor dragging its long tail across the sky.

This kind of astronomical phenomenon is very common in summer nights in the countryside. He has seen it since he was a child, but he doesn't feel much about it, and he doesn't believe in the rumored folk custom that wishing on a shooting star can come true.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Chen Xi closing her eyes and making a wish devoutly.

"..."

After Chen Xi made his wish, he opened his eyes and saw him staring at him with complicated expressions, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "They all said it was very effective, I'll try it, in case it comes true, anyway, it doesn't cost money."

At this moment, his face finally showed the innocence that fit his age and his own temperament.

The undefended innocent appearance made the light in his eyes brighter than the shooting stars in the sky, so clean that people couldn't move their eyes away.

Zhao Yuhai was absent-minded for a moment, and then his heart beat a little faster, he felt panic and joy in his heart.

Can't tell, it's weird.

His Adam's apple moved, and he frowned and said, "Go back to sleep early, don't stay up late, it's not good for your health." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Chen Xi to reply.

Chen Xi felt that he was a little angry, but he couldn't figure out why he was angry. Wasn't he still fine just now?

Back in the dormitory again, the snoring was still so loud.

Chen Xi thought he still couldn't fall asleep.

As a result, I fell asleep shortly after lying down.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, only that he was the last one to wake up the next day.

When I woke up, there was a brand new sun visor on the head of the bed. It was the kind of sun visor that had no brim, only exposed the eyes, and could also cover the neck and shoulders.

There is an aunt in their group who wears this kind of mask, and this kind of mask does not hinder the wearing of a hard hat, but it is a bit hot, but the sun protection is very comprehensive.

He asked the aunt where he bought it yesterday, and he also wanted to buy one.

But the aunt said that only the county town has it.

Chen Xi turned the mask over and over for a while, then suddenly turned over and got out of bed.

As soon as he reached the door, he was blocked by people.

Chen Xi was overjoyed when he saw someone coming: "Brother Yu Hai, did you buy this for me?"

Zhao Yuhai gave a "hmm" and said calmly, "Go eat when you wake up."

"Thank you!" Chen Xi was moved, his dark eyes were moist and full of smiles, "Thank you Brother Yu Hai!"

It had been a long, long time since he had received so much kindness and such an expensive gift.

In his heart he called this a gift.

"How much is this? I..."

"It's not expensive, and it will be deducted from your salary." Zhao Yuhai interrupted him, urging, "Hurry up and wash up and eat."

"it is good."

Chen Xi was full of joy, went back and put on the mask, walked to the door and couldn't help calling him back: "Brother Yu Hai."

Zhao Yuhai turned to look at him: "Say."

"Thank you!"

Chen Xi handed him a particularly bright smile, turned around and left after speaking.

Zhao Yuhai withdrew his gaze, reflected for a moment in silence, and reconfirmed that his heart was fine and it was Chen Xi's problem.
