Make a living

Zheng Haichuan used to be particularly proud that he never suffers from insomnia, sleeps soundly every day, and is full of energy when he goes to work the next day.

But this time, maybe it was because there were too many messy things in his head the night before, and he still couldn't figure out why, so he tossed and turned until it was almost dawn before falling asleep.

The next morning, Zheng Jiahe woke up first.

Zheng Jiahe saw that Yaoba, who had already put on an apron to make breakfast on weekdays, was still soundly asleep at the moment, so he obediently got up and got dressed.

The little man stepped between the feet of the sleepy young man, then climbed out of the bed with his back on his back, and walked lightly to the toilet to rinse his mouth and face.In the past, after washing his face, Dad Yao would wring out the washcloth in the basin, but today Zheng Jiahe wrung it out by himself, and put it on the shelf on tiptoe.

It's just that he was too weak, even if he twisted the veil hard, it was still dripping wet, leaving lovely wet marks on the countertop.

Zheng Jiahe took out steamed buns and eggs from the refrigerator just like Yao's father did before.

When taking the eggs, Zheng Jiahe hesitated a little, and finally took out two with a frown.

Hmm... Dad Yao said, you have to eat eggs every day to grow as tall as him!

I used to cook one, but Zheng Jiahe remembered that when Uncle Lv bandaged Yao's father's wound that day, he said that when Yao's father was injured, he had to rest more and eat well to make up for it.So Zheng Jiahe felt that Yao's father also wanted to eat an egg.

But...if Dad Yao is willing to eat two, it's fine.

It's not bad for him to be a little shorter.

Zheng Haichuan usually cooks breakfast in an iron pot.Connect half a pot of water, put the eggs under the water, put the cage in the center, and put the steamed buns on top.Cover the pot and steam for 10 minutes, it will be hot and ready to eat.

Zheng Jiahe also wanted to take the pot to catch the water like Dad Yao, but the iron pot was so heavy that he stood on tiptoe and tried hard with both hands for a long time without lifting it.Zheng Jiahe pouted in frustration, but after scanning the stove twice, he suddenly had a new idea.

He picked up the small bowl he usually drank milk from, ran to the sink to fill up a bowl of water, then slowly moved to the iron pot and poured it in.After going back and forth several times, the water has covered the eggs.

The steamer and steamed buns were also ready-made. After Zheng Jiahe prepared these, he ran back to the bedside in the living room to call for someone.

Dad Yao said, he must not touch the fire.

Zheng Jiahe actually felt a little regretful, he felt that he actually understood how to use the gas stove a long time ago.Very simple, much simpler than cooking with firewood in the country.But Yao's father said no, so he didn't move.

"My father, my father."

Zheng Haichuan felt a weight on his body in his sleep.He didn't sleep deeply, but he had several dreams intermittently. In the dream, the man with a cold face kept blocking him and asked if he had considered it.

Zheng Haichuan was flustered, and finally decided to go all out and ask the other party what he wanted to consider.Unexpectedly, the corners of the man's mouth curled up slightly, he leaned over, pressed on him and said——

"I'm hungry!"

Zheng Haichuan sat up suddenly from the bed, and rolled his little one to the end of the bed.

Zheng Jiahe thought that Papa Yao was playing with him, giggled and jumped on Zheng Haichuan again, and said in a milky voice, "Papa Yao, get up and cook for me!"

Zheng Haichuan hugged his little nephew, stunned for a while, and wiped his face in embarrassment.

"Cough, good. Xiaohe Miao gets up first, and Dad Yao will cook for you."

Zheng Haichuan has returned to work a few days ago, and the little one at home still has to trouble the neighbors to take care of him during the day.So after breakfast, Zheng Haichuan sent Zheng Jiahe upstairs to Lu Jun, and did not pick up his nephew until after work at night.

Throughout the day, Zheng Haichuan was in a rather dazed state.Because he was thinking about things, his work efficiency was much lower than before, and only two-thirds of the steel bars in the allocated area were tied enough.The foreman thought that his injuries were not fully healed, so he took the initiative to let Zheng Haichuan get off work early, and he was not in a hurry for a few days.

Zheng Haichuan was a little embarrassed.He has always been good at cheating and cheating, and now he wanted to explain that he was fine, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he just continued to work dullly.

Until everyone on the construction site was almost gone, Zheng Haichuan also completed today's workload.

He stopped the movement of his hands, took off his black work gloves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and picked up the mobile phone standing aside to take pictures.

Today I was busy thinking about things, Zheng Haichuan didn't say a few words to the camera when he was working.It was only at the end of the work that he showed a simple smile to the screen. Coupled with the three jet-black finger prints that had just been wiped on his forehead, he looked even more naive.

"Today's efficiency is a bit low, and it's going to be dark."

"Thank you for your attention and encouragement during this time, my injury is almost healed!"

"Actually, the things I do every day are very ordinary and boring. You don't need to spend too much money to reward, just meaning is enough, hehe."

"I feel very lucky. I met many kind-hearted people, and... my good friends who took care of me. The bad guys were quickly caught. Thank you very much! Please rest assured, I will continue to work hard and earn my living. Money!"

Zheng Haichuan finished the recording, stood up from the dusty construction site, and prepared to pack up and go home.

He walked towards the gate of the construction site. The road to get off work was not very long. In the past, Zheng Haichuan didn't pay much attention to it, but today he turned his attention to a lively place he passed by.

It was a long area built with mobile prefabricated houses, with a canteen and snack shop on the construction site, offices for inspector project managers, and cheap dormitories for some workers.

If Zheng Haichuan hadn't brought Zheng Jiahe with him, he would have lived there for cheap and convenient.

In a small board room, eight beds can be squeezed together.Each bed only costs a few dollars a day, which is much cheaper than renting a house outside.

But in such an environment, there is almost no living space to speak of. The only area for everyone to move about is their own bed. At most, the aisle is so narrow that only one person can pass through it. People don't want to stay in it except to sleep.

Therefore, most of the people living in this kind of dormitory are bachelors, but there are also couples from poor families or couples who live together. Two people sleep in the same bunk, and they can save half of the money.

Zheng Haichuan passed by after get off work today, and saw a middle-aged couple sitting in front of a small clay table outside the board room to eat.

The couple occasionally saw Zheng Haichuan moving steel bars on weekdays. The man was a carpenter, doing construction formwork and erecting frames, and the woman was doing odd jobs. Stay together during breaks.

The two should have been married for a long time. Both of them seem to be simple and gentle. They have never seen red faces. Sometimes the man will pass tools to his wife when his work is over.

At this time, the two of them were eating outside the dormitory with self-fried side dishes, and the dishes were served in a frying pan. The man ate a bit more rudely, digging into the rice, while the woman slowly chewed the food in her mouth, and at the same time said The man didn't say a word about any anecdotes during the day, but kept nodding in response.

There were a lot of vegetables in the pot but little meat. The woman picked up a chopstick of fat and thin pork belly, but she didn't eat it herself, but stuffed it into the man's bowl.The man held up the bowl and wanted to avoid it, but was stared at by the woman's sideways eyes, and his hands stopped moving, and he obediently lowered his head and ate the meat in the bowl.

For some reason, Zheng Haichuan remembered the piece of red rice sausage that he ate at Boss Gui's restaurant that day.

When Doctor Li stuffed the chopsticks into his mouth...

What are you thinking?
