I wait for you to see through the scenery
Chapter 57 Coolies
That day, after returning from a spring outing, Qu Jia went home in the evening, and turned into the gate of the courtyard with his head down.
My family is familiar with the road, but I didn't make a good turn. I stepped on the big aluminum pot of pickled pickles placed by someone's house, and no one saw it. I quickly pulled my foot out of the pot of pickled potherb mustard...
"Bang Dang" hit someone's house again and got on the bicycle...
The smile is concealed between the eyebrows and the corners of the mouth, and I can't hide it, and I am in a good mood.
"Oh, look at this road! We all know that you are back, young master!" Qu Liandi came out with a vegetable bowl and washed things in the yard, hurting her son.
"Not hungry." Qu Jia told his mother, "Don't do it."
"Aren't you hungry?" Qu Liandi looked up, "That big fan of pork head meat, and so many pancakes, did you two eat them all?"
"Yes." Qu Jia said.
"Your mother has to eat if you don't eat." Qu Liandi said, "Can I not cook someday?"
"Then, I'll make it for you?" Qu Jia rarely showed an expression, standing in the middle of the yard with his pockets in his pockets, showing a handsome white Nike wristband on his wrist.
"Pull you down." Qu Liandi didn't believe it.
"Tsk, look at this eldest son! Can your son cook for you?" The neighbor's aunt also washed the vegetables, so she came over to strike up a conversation.
"Don't worry, it's still like that." Qu Liandi squatted under the faucet, vigorously cleaning the pot.
"Master Qu, just, I told you about that last time, have you considered it?" the neighbor aunt asked in a low voice.
"..." Qu Liandi was silent for a moment, "Forget it, I've been busy with work recently... The leaders of the factory are going to be restructured, the big factory is going to be separated, and a bunch of bad things in the department don't know where we will be assigned, and I don't know. Feeling."
"Work is work, and this matter is also important." The neighbors are also very kind, the kindness of the eighth wife, "the age is about the same, the conditions are similar, and the children are all grown up... You have seen the photos, and you don't pick them? I'm quite satisfied, I want to meet you, don't you still choose your appearance?!"
Qu Liandi "tssed": "Young girls are stupid enough to pick on their appearance. I've already been stupid once and I still pick on this?...Let's talk about it when Qu Jia goes to college."
Qu Jia was already walking home, but suddenly appeared behind him.
He has sharp ears and eyes, but he is usually too lazy to talk.
"Wait for me to go to university?" Qu Jia said.
"Mom, don't wait, you can find whatever you want," Qu Jia muttered, "Don't worry about what I think."
Qu Liandi and the neighbor's aunt both had a small wind blowing in the back of their heads, and when they turned their heads, their expressions were uncomfortable, heh.
Qu Jia washed his face under the faucet, his expression was neither salty nor dull, but he was very mature: "Really, I said it at the beginning, don't wait for me. Now you still talk about me? ... No need Well, I didn't stop it, I have no objection."
Qu Liandi rolled her eyes: "I'm afraid you won't get used to it, you might dislike this or that."
"I don't have one, it's because people hate me." Qu Jia shook his shoulders, "As long as you can find someone who can get used to me and not pick on me, it's done!"
Qu Liandi: "..."
The neighbor's mother-in-law is misfired, this bear son.
It might be hard to find someone who is used to this kid.
The next time I introduce someone to Master Qu, I have to bring this photo of Qu Jia first!
Of course, some people never disliked him.On the way back from the spring outing, someone deliberately packed all the leftover snacks in their schoolbags for Qu Jia.
The weather was getting hotter, and his face and shoulders were tanned. Qu Jia didn't go to take a bath. He was sweating and stuck himself on his bed, lay on his stomach, and was covered tightly from head to toe with a towel.
Qu Liandi opened the screen door, took a look, and went out.
Come back after a while and take another look.
Her son seemed to be lying motionless on the bed, wrapped up like a big fleshy worm. In fact, he didn't sleep at all, but he stuck to the bed when he didn't sleep.Occasionally, I would laugh alone by myself, with a lazy expression, rubbing against the pillow... I often do this recently, and being sneaky is also very strange.
Qu Jia told his mother, "Don't worry about me, you can just find me." He said this casually, and didn't take it seriously, and he didn't mention it again afterwards.The spring semester passed even faster, with one activity after another in the school.Between activities and activities, there are preparations and rehearsals that are full of anticipation, and after the end there is a aftermath of excitement that cannot be dissipated for a long time, and the days fly by quickly.
In the grade, there is a voluntary tree planting, and a group of students do free coolies on the streets of the school district, carrying shovels and shovels to work.
Qu Jia carried a shovel and dragged the shovel with the other hand.The shovel snaked all the way behind him, making a sizzling noise on the sidewalk.
"It's so noisy, you." Zhou Yao said from behind.
"I can't carry it." Qu Jia didn't turn his head, it was so annoying.
"Too lazy for you!" Zhou Yao said.
Qu Jia finally couldn't bear it any longer and turned his head abruptly: "Look at our class committee, how many boys are there?"
Zhou Yao also exploded, sneered, hahaha: "It's just two men."
"Fuck." Qu Jia scolded in a low voice, "It's just the two of us."
"Then, let's do it!" Zhou Yao laughed without losing his temper.
This kind of voluntary labor collective activity requires organization, mobilization, and hard work. If it cannot be mobilized, it means that the class cadres will do their best to complete the quota tasks of each class.
"Fuck, fuck... I want to fuck you with this little strength." Qu Jia shut up after finishing speaking.
Can you let the study committee do this, let the secretary of the league branch do it, let Huang Xiaoxiao do it?They were all a group of delicate and weak girls who couldn't even lift a shovel, so they squatted down under the shade of a tree by the side of the road, eating popsicles and ice cream.
"Why didn't you nominate a girls' sports committee back then?" Qu Jia turned around and asked, "You are the only boy in the class committee, how awesome you are."
"I don't." Zhou Yao said, "It's inconvenient to pick a girl for work."
"It's convenient for me?" Qu Jia glared at him.
"Well, it's very convenient to be with you." Zhou Yao whispered, and laughed like a little bitch again...
The two male class committee members, leading seven or eight boys, lined up on the sidewalk and started planting trees.In fact, it was just digging a hole, which was too difficult. Qu Jia stepped on the edge of the shovel hard, feeling that his foot was strong enough, and pressed down with his foot, but he couldn't step on it, and couldn't chop the soil.
"Let me do it, you rest." Zhou Yao also stepped on the shovel to dig the soil, and he could step on it, dig a hole with a few shovels, and then dig the hole bigger and bigger.
Qu Jia took a few glances, a little surprised: "Usually, your legs are not so strong."
Zhou Yao said: "I didn't really work hard with you, I just let you and didn't practice with you."
Qu Jia: "Oh."
"I've practiced in the team for nothing for so many years?" Zhou Yao's face was serious occasionally, and he was serious for two seconds. ? I practiced it."
"Stop talking about the two of you," the classmate yelled, "Everyone in class one is planting!!"
"I've already dug the hole," Zhou Yao rolled his eyes, "Qu Jia, you planted saplings in it!"
The boys in several classes ran and compared with each other in full swing.The people around shouted: "Hey, did our grade director say that the class with the best and most trees will be rewarded?"
"Say it!" Zhou Yao shouted to Class [-] from a distance away, "The grade director has said it!"
"Just our grade director, can she reward us?!" Pan Fei shouted from the air.
"I will reward you with a set of examination papers for each subject of the Haidian version and Xicheng version for next semester!" Zhou Yao shouted.
"Damn it, this is really possible." Pan Fei laughed wildly, "The whole class will reward you with the test papers in Haidian District! This is reserved for your outstanding second class, Zhou Yao, not for our class!!"
"The grade director can do us good things. I planted myself into a tree and inserted it into this hole." Qu Jia whispered, and finally stepped out of the hole with a hard kick.
Zhou Yao took advantage of people's unpreparedness and launched a sneak attack, and hugged Qu Jia into the tree pit, "Plant you in the pit"!It was this unreasonable posture of pressing people from behind again, and Qu Jia was immediately upset, and the two of them hugged and fell to the ground almost gnawing their faces...
Not long after they started working in Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School, another group of students in school uniforms came across the same road.
You can recognize it just by looking at the color of the school uniform.
Who?It's from Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School next door.
A team of tall boys also came out with shovels and shovels... The little leaders of the sub-district office in Chaoyang, they are really smart and flexible, and none of the nearby schools are left behind.
Qu Jia glanced sideways for a few times, then turned around and said, "Yao, go and plant over there, there is still a hole there."
Zhou Yao said, "Shall I dig you?"
Qu Jia said, "I can dig by myself, so you can go."
Zhou Yao raised his eyes, he saw even his nearsighted eyes.When I went out to plant a tree, I met my enemy on a narrow road, just opposite them across the road. It was the voluntary tree planting team of a certain class in Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School—wasn’t it the little eunuch Wang Lujun?
Wang Lujun managed to get out of the school gate without being supervised by the school. He just had a cigarette in his mouth, and when he looked up, he was immediately frustrated and muttered something with his mouth.
Who is not good to meet when you go out?As soon as he looked up and saw Qu Jia, his second uncle's cartilage on the bridge of his nose suddenly ached.
A few gangsters from No. [-] Middle School squatted in a tree pit, buried their heads in smoking, and looked at the road: "Hey, boss... Qu Jia."
"I see." Wang Lujun said.
"Damn, I want to mess with him." Someone said.
"Who are you messing with?" Wang Lujun rolled his eyes.
"It's not pleasing to the eye, that kid is crazy." The companion said.
"If you don't like it, go ahead." Wang Lujun snorted.
"..." The boys from the gang looked surprised, "What's the matter? Junzi, are you still afraid of him?"
"I'm afraid of him?!" Wang Lujun bit his cigarette.
"Just hold back and beat him up," said the younger brother.Isn't that right, I can't beat people all the time, and I still suffer from it all the time, it's really annoying.
"It's nothing to do, what's the fight... If you have the strength, you plant all the trees for me!" Wang Lujun said vaguely, his expression was indescribable, and he didn't want to explain.
The fight did not start for the time being, a group of young men who were full of energy and had nowhere to vent their energy, all started to move, planting trees!
Moreover, the two sides began to compare, and they all looked at each other aggressively, and began to use their shovels and shovels to exert force.
The little eunuchs of the No. [-] Middle School pointed at Qu Jia from a distance: You'll be waiting, kid.
Qu Jia was standing by the curb, stepping on the edge of the shovel.The trouser legs of the school uniform are rolled up to the calf, and the cuffs of the vest are rolled up to the shoulders as usual, revealing the tanned shoulders, looking at the opposite side: If you have a kind, come here.
Someone whispered: "Junzi, we have a shovel in our hand."
"Stupid, why don't you go over and swing it?" Wang Lujun said, "He also has a shovel in his hand!"
It was a narrow road, 20 meters away, and they both heard each other. Qu Jia raised his chin and sneered: "Sister Fang is not here today, come over here, Wang Lujun."
With one hand behind him, Ma Liuer dragged the inefficient lamp back.
Zhou Yao dragged Qu Jia away, pushed him away, turned his head and smiled at Wang Lujun, "Juner, don't listen to Qu Jia, don't come here. Let me tell you, who is going to plant trees today?" Plant less, slow, cowardly, lose, please, guest, Canadian, state, beef, meat, noodles!... Don't be cowardly when paying for it!"
Wang Lujun wasn't particularly cowardly, it was just that he promised Sister Fang to reconcile.
Moreover, he snatched Zhou Yao's pair of shoes, and he quietly returned them to Sister Fang's shop afterwards.
Therefore, Zhou Yao took back those expensive football shoes and shin pads, and they have been worn by Qu Jia since then when he played football.
The teams on both sides began to dig holes frantically, digging all their hostility into the soil.When this row of saplings were planted, they grew into some kind of character with claws and claws. They stretched across the street, and each tree branched out with an arrogance that no one would be angry with.
A large truckload of trees was almost planted by several classes of students.It's hard to say how they were planted. It is estimated that three of the ten trees will survive in the end.
Another truck came, bringing in a pile of saplings and loam.I didn't notice it just now, the side fender of the car was still written in large characters of spray paint of a certain landscaping company of their Fourth Machine Tool Factory.
What does their factory have to do with timber or gardening?It doesn't matter at all.In fact, this year, the machine tool factory has been undergoing continuous restructuring and diversion of employees. Many small groups and companies of this kind have been set up below, called "invigorating the tertiary industry", and they are already quietly diverting heavy workers. employees of state-owned enterprises.Those who came out to work and earn a living were all former employees of their machine tool factory.
There was a man in his 40s in the car with a good-looking, long face and tanned skin. He smiled at them: "The students are all quite capable, not bad."
Qu Jia glanced at it and found it familiar. He must have seen it in the factory, so he nodded.
Zhou Yao smiled: "Hello, Uncle."
That kid Wang Lujun turned his head, rolled his eyes, and didn't even say hello to anyone, he was even cooler than Qu Jia.
"Student! Bring a pine tree to your class?" The person in the car called them, "There is still a cedar in the middle of the row in your class."
Qu Jia glanced at Zhou Yao, and Zhou Yao said, "Ah, our class hasn't planted that cedar tree yet. Is that one tree worth three?!...Plant the biggest tree!"
The two ran over to pick up the wheels of the truck, and they climbed up on the special zipline, picking up cedar seedlings.Over there, Wang Lujun ran over as soon as he saw it, and his class hadn't been planted yet.
Wang Lujun climbed the truck body more nimbly, jumped onto the carriage in two steps, hugged the thick pine sapling, and dragged him away.
Qu Jia dragged the other end, which was absolutely unreasonable. If he didn't give it, he dragged it to this side.
"Fuck... mine!" Wang Lujun glared at Qu Jia, "Are you still grabbing it?!"
What's the matter with grabbing?Qu Jia winked back, and the only big sapling in the car grew well, so we planted this one.
The workers under the car all laughed. One of the two students hugged the tree root and the other hugged the tree crown.Zhou Yao came up after him, cut off the beard from the middle without hesitation, hugged the tree trunk with great strength, and pouted suddenly!Wang Lujun was caught off guard, and was directly kneeled forward by this blow, pa——
"Hey, I'm sorry," Squad Leader Zhou smiled, and the public relations were very polite, "We want this sapling, so let's move it away first."
"Fuck you two uncles!" Wang Lujun was about to vomit blood with anger.It's so shameless.
The two brazenly bully the other, Zhou Yao is a thief and a badass, cheap and cheap——
The black-faced man who was sitting on the tailgate watching the excitement even added a knife: "You look stupid, you can't grab it, right?... Hurry up, grab it!"
The cedar sapling was quite heavy, and it was difficult for the two of them to get out of the car.Qu Jia first put the canopy on the side of the car, jumped off the ground by himself, turned his head and gave Zhou Yao a wink, Zhou Yao then slid the canopy into Qu Jia's arms, jumped down by himself, picked it up and ran.
Let others vomit blood, that's the tacit understanding.
Everyone around was laughing, Wang Lujun cursed a few words wronged, and jumped out of the car with a drooping face.
Zhou Yao turned around and smiled: I'm sorry, we always bully each other.
Qu Jia also turned around, and gave the other party an arrogant expression: You have a kind of ten or eight, and we are two; you are alone, and we are two, if I catch you today, who are you bullying?
The second half of the tree planting activity that afternoon was very smooth and enjoyable.
The girls were all infected by the warm atmosphere, and they came out from under the shade of the trees to help the boys cultivate and water the soil.They also tease each other with watering pipes, laughing and making trouble.
The girls brought a large box of popsicles and ice bricks directly to the boys from the canteen on the street, as a treat.
"Who digs the most holes?" Huang Xiaoxiao yelled with a smile, "If you dig a few holes, you will be given ice bricks!"
"Me!" Zhou Yao and Qu Jia said in unison.
After yelling, glance at the other person at the same time.
Qu Jia: Don't make a fuss, me.
Zhou Yao: I let you go.
Qu Jia said, "I dug a total of five holes."
Zhou Yao said: "I could have dug seven or eight, but am I busy with other things?"
Huang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Give them all, so what flavor do you two want to eat? I bought many kinds."
"The one with Arctic taro." The two spoke in unison again.
Then they glanced at each other silently, so disgusted, you go away, you always eat the same taste as me...
The two of them wrapped all the taro ice cubes round, so if they were exposed, they would be exposed.Recently, the new flavor of ice bricks released by the Arctic Ocean happens to be very popular.
After the group activity was over, they should have left. The workers on the truck started to work at this time, shouting: "Master Wang, let's start building flower shelves? Get all the flower garden fences up!"
"Get it done, let's go after finishing tonight!" That Master Wang also jumped out of the car, he was the leader of the greening contractor team, who enthusiastically instructed Zhou Yao how to plant that little cedar tree just now. Dig one meter deeper, and set up a support frame for spring wind protection on all sides.
Several old workers in their factory, all in their 50s and [-]s, took off their undershirts and went shirtless under the harsh western sun, working on the side of the street with traffic.
Standing in the sun, dodging the car, and working hard.
A tertiary enterprise like theirs diverts employees, and a dozen or so acquaintances set up an engineering team.Usually it is a group of laid-off workers in the same workshop, and someone who can do things pulls the banner to pick the leader. Everyone muster up the courage to put down their iron rice bowls, walk out of the gate of the factory, and work outside to earn money.This is no different from the livelihood of the migrant workers from other places in the future.If you don’t take the initiative to throw down the iron rice bowl, others will take it away from you in the future, forcing you to retire from illness or directly laid off, and drive to the streets to fend for yourself.The tree moves the dead and the living, and there is a way out if you move the nest earlier.
Qu Jia and Zhou Yao watched for a while, and then went to help with the work. In this evening, they helped the uncles and uncles in their factory erect the iron fence of the flower pond.
Master Wang's name is Wang Guisheng, and he used to be a machine disassembly worker in the third workshop of the machine tool factory.
Zhou Yao's first impression of that uncle was that he was shirtless and had a good figure. He didn't sit in an office at first glance, but he often worked!
"Thank you, you boys." Wang Guisheng nodded to them several times, chatting while working, sweat dripping down his shoulders, and his arms were covered with bulging veins... It looked like it was their father's. old.
"Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School is pretty good. Which class do you two belong to?" Wang Guisheng rested his breath with his hands on his hips. His age is not forgiving. "I'll give you a class later, and I'll send you a certificate!"
"You don't need it, uncle, we don't leave names for our good deeds." Zhou Yao smiled.
"It's very capable, it's been hard work." Wang Guisheng spoke in a slightly sandy voice of tobacco and alcohol, "These goddamn children are all only children, how many of them are able to work? They don't necessarily study well when they enter school. You can't even do anything! It's not like we were back then, our generation didn't study culture well, but we can do anything... You two are not bad."
"Thank you for your compliment!" Zhou Yao smiled again, "Then, then you can give us both a certificate, that's fine."
Qu Jia gave him a disgusted look, "Yaoyao is an official fan, you just love him."
"I don't know your name yet? ... Oh, Zhou Yao, far away." Wang Guisheng nodded and glanced at Zhou Yao, then stared at Qu Jia, "I know you, Qu Jia, I used to see you in the factory Watching you, the cafeteria, the bathhouse... I've been watching you since you went to the machine tool factory kindergarten when you were a child."
Qu Jia didn't even react.
"I know your mother, we are old acquaintances." Wang Guisheng said casually, "Master Qu was common in the past. We were a large group of people, all in the 68th class, and entered this factory without finishing school."
Qu Jia snorted, really unfamiliar, really do not know.
Almost finished, the workers closed the stall, Wang Guisheng greeted at the entrance of the small shop: "Thirsty? What to drink, tell me!"
"Just the Arctic Ocean, thank you Uncle, you don't have to be polite." The good student Zhou Yao is still restrained in front of outsiders, he is handsome and sweet-hearted.
"Don't you drink beer?" Qu Jia told him thoroughly.
"Then come beer!" Wang Guisheng shook his head, "It's okay, I can drink it here, no one cares about you two. Three bottles of beer, ice cold!"
The three of them were blowing beer in the street, and Zhou Yao drank it, really thirsty.One bottle of him is not enough, this "Yanjing" is like tap water, the foam is not strong enough.
That boy Wang Lujun came here for a walk again at this time. It is estimated that their third middle school was also disbanded and turned back.
"Oh, I drank it..." Wang Lujun muttered unhappily, his eyes wide open, unhappy.
Wang Guisheng turned his head: "You want a bottle too?"
Wang Lujun came over with his schoolbag slanted, and hummed, "No need, you can drink by yourself."
Wang Guisheng said, "Is school okay? Let's go back. If I'm late, the things in the car will have to be taken back to the factory."
Wang Lujun muttered and asked: "Then, what about dinner, where do you eat?"
Wang Guisheng asked back, "Where do you plan to eat?"
Zhou Yao: "..."
Qu Jia: "..."
Zhou Yao squinted at Qu Jia, what the hell is going on?Do you know him or not?
Qu Jia also looked dazed, lowered his head and wiped his face, subconsciously touched the cartilage on the bridge of his nose...
Comrade Wang then shook his head and said to Xiao Wang: "Hey, you go to the grocery store in Dongdaqiao to buy cooked food, and you can make noodles at home...or go to the greenhouse and eat a bowl of noodles? It's cheap. , five yuan and one bowl will fill you up?"
Qu Jia choked on the beer violently, turned his face away and wanted to cough.
Wang Lujun's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Dad, give me 50 yuan, and I'll go eat."
Wang Guisheng frowned: "How much money?"
Wang Lujun looked aggrieved and downcast, and Qu Jia and Zhou Yao were on the same side. The three of them poked at the entrance of the canteen, and stood like three burly door gods, with extremely subtle expressions.
When I knelt in the car just now, and a big bruise was knocked on my knee, Wang Lujun burst out of depression: "Didn't I lose by planting a tree just now, please treat these two people to dinner!...they said they want to eat California beef Mian Dawang, 50 yuan, do you have any money in your pocket?!"
This is also a brat who usually goes out after school and no one cares about him. In fact, he can only afford a bowl of noodles for five yuan.He usually pretends to be the boss in school, and spends his pocket money hard, otherwise he would snatch Zhou Yao's pair of sweaty sneakers as if they were treasures?
"No need!" Zhou Yao took a step back immediately with a wink, "I was joking just now, Jun'er, forget it."
Qu Jia turned his head and wanted to leave, bewildered.
"Then you should really ask, but you can't hold back, you can't be cowardly, please let them eat." Wang Guisheng really paid for it, and he was straightforward. After digging for a while, the last few scraps were worth ten cents.
"Uncle, I really don't need it. Uncle, we were joking just now, just for fun. I and we both know each other well." Zhou Yao explained solemnly, pushing Qu Jia back five meters in one step, "Let's meet Lu Jun at the billiards hall this weekend. Let's play together, we will treat you to beef noodles later!"
The two of them simply ran away that day, messed around, and were ashamed.
They are two people, and the father and son are also two people. If they bully one, who are you bullying?
"Wang Lujun's father is quite polite and didn't scold us." Zhou Yao babbled along the way, "Hey, do you know his father? What does his father do?"
"Who is he?" Qu Jia frowned, "I've never seen it before."
"Ah, the certificate of commendation must be blown!" Guaner Fan suddenly thought of this, and Zhou Yao was immediately disappointed, "Wang Lujun turned around and told his father, what should we say about the two of us? That kid must have nothing to say."
Qu Jia stared at him again from a distance. At that time, he really didn't like the little Taibao of No. [-] Middle School.
Then Wang Lujun's father also said, "I watched you when you were in kindergarten", what the hell is going on?
……
My family is familiar with the road, but I didn't make a good turn. I stepped on the big aluminum pot of pickled pickles placed by someone's house, and no one saw it. I quickly pulled my foot out of the pot of pickled potherb mustard...
"Bang Dang" hit someone's house again and got on the bicycle...
The smile is concealed between the eyebrows and the corners of the mouth, and I can't hide it, and I am in a good mood.
"Oh, look at this road! We all know that you are back, young master!" Qu Liandi came out with a vegetable bowl and washed things in the yard, hurting her son.
"Not hungry." Qu Jia told his mother, "Don't do it."
"Aren't you hungry?" Qu Liandi looked up, "That big fan of pork head meat, and so many pancakes, did you two eat them all?"
"Yes." Qu Jia said.
"Your mother has to eat if you don't eat." Qu Liandi said, "Can I not cook someday?"
"Then, I'll make it for you?" Qu Jia rarely showed an expression, standing in the middle of the yard with his pockets in his pockets, showing a handsome white Nike wristband on his wrist.
"Pull you down." Qu Liandi didn't believe it.
"Tsk, look at this eldest son! Can your son cook for you?" The neighbor's aunt also washed the vegetables, so she came over to strike up a conversation.
"Don't worry, it's still like that." Qu Liandi squatted under the faucet, vigorously cleaning the pot.
"Master Qu, just, I told you about that last time, have you considered it?" the neighbor aunt asked in a low voice.
"..." Qu Liandi was silent for a moment, "Forget it, I've been busy with work recently... The leaders of the factory are going to be restructured, the big factory is going to be separated, and a bunch of bad things in the department don't know where we will be assigned, and I don't know. Feeling."
"Work is work, and this matter is also important." The neighbors are also very kind, the kindness of the eighth wife, "the age is about the same, the conditions are similar, and the children are all grown up... You have seen the photos, and you don't pick them? I'm quite satisfied, I want to meet you, don't you still choose your appearance?!"
Qu Liandi "tssed": "Young girls are stupid enough to pick on their appearance. I've already been stupid once and I still pick on this?...Let's talk about it when Qu Jia goes to college."
Qu Jia was already walking home, but suddenly appeared behind him.
He has sharp ears and eyes, but he is usually too lazy to talk.
"Wait for me to go to university?" Qu Jia said.
"Mom, don't wait, you can find whatever you want," Qu Jia muttered, "Don't worry about what I think."
Qu Liandi and the neighbor's aunt both had a small wind blowing in the back of their heads, and when they turned their heads, their expressions were uncomfortable, heh.
Qu Jia washed his face under the faucet, his expression was neither salty nor dull, but he was very mature: "Really, I said it at the beginning, don't wait for me. Now you still talk about me? ... No need Well, I didn't stop it, I have no objection."
Qu Liandi rolled her eyes: "I'm afraid you won't get used to it, you might dislike this or that."
"I don't have one, it's because people hate me." Qu Jia shook his shoulders, "As long as you can find someone who can get used to me and not pick on me, it's done!"
Qu Liandi: "..."
The neighbor's mother-in-law is misfired, this bear son.
It might be hard to find someone who is used to this kid.
The next time I introduce someone to Master Qu, I have to bring this photo of Qu Jia first!
Of course, some people never disliked him.On the way back from the spring outing, someone deliberately packed all the leftover snacks in their schoolbags for Qu Jia.
The weather was getting hotter, and his face and shoulders were tanned. Qu Jia didn't go to take a bath. He was sweating and stuck himself on his bed, lay on his stomach, and was covered tightly from head to toe with a towel.
Qu Liandi opened the screen door, took a look, and went out.
Come back after a while and take another look.
Her son seemed to be lying motionless on the bed, wrapped up like a big fleshy worm. In fact, he didn't sleep at all, but he stuck to the bed when he didn't sleep.Occasionally, I would laugh alone by myself, with a lazy expression, rubbing against the pillow... I often do this recently, and being sneaky is also very strange.
Qu Jia told his mother, "Don't worry about me, you can just find me." He said this casually, and didn't take it seriously, and he didn't mention it again afterwards.The spring semester passed even faster, with one activity after another in the school.Between activities and activities, there are preparations and rehearsals that are full of anticipation, and after the end there is a aftermath of excitement that cannot be dissipated for a long time, and the days fly by quickly.
In the grade, there is a voluntary tree planting, and a group of students do free coolies on the streets of the school district, carrying shovels and shovels to work.
Qu Jia carried a shovel and dragged the shovel with the other hand.The shovel snaked all the way behind him, making a sizzling noise on the sidewalk.
"It's so noisy, you." Zhou Yao said from behind.
"I can't carry it." Qu Jia didn't turn his head, it was so annoying.
"Too lazy for you!" Zhou Yao said.
Qu Jia finally couldn't bear it any longer and turned his head abruptly: "Look at our class committee, how many boys are there?"
Zhou Yao also exploded, sneered, hahaha: "It's just two men."
"Fuck." Qu Jia scolded in a low voice, "It's just the two of us."
"Then, let's do it!" Zhou Yao laughed without losing his temper.
This kind of voluntary labor collective activity requires organization, mobilization, and hard work. If it cannot be mobilized, it means that the class cadres will do their best to complete the quota tasks of each class.
"Fuck, fuck... I want to fuck you with this little strength." Qu Jia shut up after finishing speaking.
Can you let the study committee do this, let the secretary of the league branch do it, let Huang Xiaoxiao do it?They were all a group of delicate and weak girls who couldn't even lift a shovel, so they squatted down under the shade of a tree by the side of the road, eating popsicles and ice cream.
"Why didn't you nominate a girls' sports committee back then?" Qu Jia turned around and asked, "You are the only boy in the class committee, how awesome you are."
"I don't." Zhou Yao said, "It's inconvenient to pick a girl for work."
"It's convenient for me?" Qu Jia glared at him.
"Well, it's very convenient to be with you." Zhou Yao whispered, and laughed like a little bitch again...
The two male class committee members, leading seven or eight boys, lined up on the sidewalk and started planting trees.In fact, it was just digging a hole, which was too difficult. Qu Jia stepped on the edge of the shovel hard, feeling that his foot was strong enough, and pressed down with his foot, but he couldn't step on it, and couldn't chop the soil.
"Let me do it, you rest." Zhou Yao also stepped on the shovel to dig the soil, and he could step on it, dig a hole with a few shovels, and then dig the hole bigger and bigger.
Qu Jia took a few glances, a little surprised: "Usually, your legs are not so strong."
Zhou Yao said: "I didn't really work hard with you, I just let you and didn't practice with you."
Qu Jia: "Oh."
"I've practiced in the team for nothing for so many years?" Zhou Yao's face was serious occasionally, and he was serious for two seconds. ? I practiced it."
"Stop talking about the two of you," the classmate yelled, "Everyone in class one is planting!!"
"I've already dug the hole," Zhou Yao rolled his eyes, "Qu Jia, you planted saplings in it!"
The boys in several classes ran and compared with each other in full swing.The people around shouted: "Hey, did our grade director say that the class with the best and most trees will be rewarded?"
"Say it!" Zhou Yao shouted to Class [-] from a distance away, "The grade director has said it!"
"Just our grade director, can she reward us?!" Pan Fei shouted from the air.
"I will reward you with a set of examination papers for each subject of the Haidian version and Xicheng version for next semester!" Zhou Yao shouted.
"Damn it, this is really possible." Pan Fei laughed wildly, "The whole class will reward you with the test papers in Haidian District! This is reserved for your outstanding second class, Zhou Yao, not for our class!!"
"The grade director can do us good things. I planted myself into a tree and inserted it into this hole." Qu Jia whispered, and finally stepped out of the hole with a hard kick.
Zhou Yao took advantage of people's unpreparedness and launched a sneak attack, and hugged Qu Jia into the tree pit, "Plant you in the pit"!It was this unreasonable posture of pressing people from behind again, and Qu Jia was immediately upset, and the two of them hugged and fell to the ground almost gnawing their faces...
Not long after they started working in Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School, another group of students in school uniforms came across the same road.
You can recognize it just by looking at the color of the school uniform.
Who?It's from Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School next door.
A team of tall boys also came out with shovels and shovels... The little leaders of the sub-district office in Chaoyang, they are really smart and flexible, and none of the nearby schools are left behind.
Qu Jia glanced sideways for a few times, then turned around and said, "Yao, go and plant over there, there is still a hole there."
Zhou Yao said, "Shall I dig you?"
Qu Jia said, "I can dig by myself, so you can go."
Zhou Yao raised his eyes, he saw even his nearsighted eyes.When I went out to plant a tree, I met my enemy on a narrow road, just opposite them across the road. It was the voluntary tree planting team of a certain class in Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School—wasn’t it the little eunuch Wang Lujun?
Wang Lujun managed to get out of the school gate without being supervised by the school. He just had a cigarette in his mouth, and when he looked up, he was immediately frustrated and muttered something with his mouth.
Who is not good to meet when you go out?As soon as he looked up and saw Qu Jia, his second uncle's cartilage on the bridge of his nose suddenly ached.
A few gangsters from No. [-] Middle School squatted in a tree pit, buried their heads in smoking, and looked at the road: "Hey, boss... Qu Jia."
"I see." Wang Lujun said.
"Damn, I want to mess with him." Someone said.
"Who are you messing with?" Wang Lujun rolled his eyes.
"It's not pleasing to the eye, that kid is crazy." The companion said.
"If you don't like it, go ahead." Wang Lujun snorted.
"..." The boys from the gang looked surprised, "What's the matter? Junzi, are you still afraid of him?"
"I'm afraid of him?!" Wang Lujun bit his cigarette.
"Just hold back and beat him up," said the younger brother.Isn't that right, I can't beat people all the time, and I still suffer from it all the time, it's really annoying.
"It's nothing to do, what's the fight... If you have the strength, you plant all the trees for me!" Wang Lujun said vaguely, his expression was indescribable, and he didn't want to explain.
The fight did not start for the time being, a group of young men who were full of energy and had nowhere to vent their energy, all started to move, planting trees!
Moreover, the two sides began to compare, and they all looked at each other aggressively, and began to use their shovels and shovels to exert force.
The little eunuchs of the No. [-] Middle School pointed at Qu Jia from a distance: You'll be waiting, kid.
Qu Jia was standing by the curb, stepping on the edge of the shovel.The trouser legs of the school uniform are rolled up to the calf, and the cuffs of the vest are rolled up to the shoulders as usual, revealing the tanned shoulders, looking at the opposite side: If you have a kind, come here.
Someone whispered: "Junzi, we have a shovel in our hand."
"Stupid, why don't you go over and swing it?" Wang Lujun said, "He also has a shovel in his hand!"
It was a narrow road, 20 meters away, and they both heard each other. Qu Jia raised his chin and sneered: "Sister Fang is not here today, come over here, Wang Lujun."
With one hand behind him, Ma Liuer dragged the inefficient lamp back.
Zhou Yao dragged Qu Jia away, pushed him away, turned his head and smiled at Wang Lujun, "Juner, don't listen to Qu Jia, don't come here. Let me tell you, who is going to plant trees today?" Plant less, slow, cowardly, lose, please, guest, Canadian, state, beef, meat, noodles!... Don't be cowardly when paying for it!"
Wang Lujun wasn't particularly cowardly, it was just that he promised Sister Fang to reconcile.
Moreover, he snatched Zhou Yao's pair of shoes, and he quietly returned them to Sister Fang's shop afterwards.
Therefore, Zhou Yao took back those expensive football shoes and shin pads, and they have been worn by Qu Jia since then when he played football.
The teams on both sides began to dig holes frantically, digging all their hostility into the soil.When this row of saplings were planted, they grew into some kind of character with claws and claws. They stretched across the street, and each tree branched out with an arrogance that no one would be angry with.
A large truckload of trees was almost planted by several classes of students.It's hard to say how they were planted. It is estimated that three of the ten trees will survive in the end.
Another truck came, bringing in a pile of saplings and loam.I didn't notice it just now, the side fender of the car was still written in large characters of spray paint of a certain landscaping company of their Fourth Machine Tool Factory.
What does their factory have to do with timber or gardening?It doesn't matter at all.In fact, this year, the machine tool factory has been undergoing continuous restructuring and diversion of employees. Many small groups and companies of this kind have been set up below, called "invigorating the tertiary industry", and they are already quietly diverting heavy workers. employees of state-owned enterprises.Those who came out to work and earn a living were all former employees of their machine tool factory.
There was a man in his 40s in the car with a good-looking, long face and tanned skin. He smiled at them: "The students are all quite capable, not bad."
Qu Jia glanced at it and found it familiar. He must have seen it in the factory, so he nodded.
Zhou Yao smiled: "Hello, Uncle."
That kid Wang Lujun turned his head, rolled his eyes, and didn't even say hello to anyone, he was even cooler than Qu Jia.
"Student! Bring a pine tree to your class?" The person in the car called them, "There is still a cedar in the middle of the row in your class."
Qu Jia glanced at Zhou Yao, and Zhou Yao said, "Ah, our class hasn't planted that cedar tree yet. Is that one tree worth three?!...Plant the biggest tree!"
The two ran over to pick up the wheels of the truck, and they climbed up on the special zipline, picking up cedar seedlings.Over there, Wang Lujun ran over as soon as he saw it, and his class hadn't been planted yet.
Wang Lujun climbed the truck body more nimbly, jumped onto the carriage in two steps, hugged the thick pine sapling, and dragged him away.
Qu Jia dragged the other end, which was absolutely unreasonable. If he didn't give it, he dragged it to this side.
"Fuck... mine!" Wang Lujun glared at Qu Jia, "Are you still grabbing it?!"
What's the matter with grabbing?Qu Jia winked back, and the only big sapling in the car grew well, so we planted this one.
The workers under the car all laughed. One of the two students hugged the tree root and the other hugged the tree crown.Zhou Yao came up after him, cut off the beard from the middle without hesitation, hugged the tree trunk with great strength, and pouted suddenly!Wang Lujun was caught off guard, and was directly kneeled forward by this blow, pa——
"Hey, I'm sorry," Squad Leader Zhou smiled, and the public relations were very polite, "We want this sapling, so let's move it away first."
"Fuck you two uncles!" Wang Lujun was about to vomit blood with anger.It's so shameless.
The two brazenly bully the other, Zhou Yao is a thief and a badass, cheap and cheap——
The black-faced man who was sitting on the tailgate watching the excitement even added a knife: "You look stupid, you can't grab it, right?... Hurry up, grab it!"
The cedar sapling was quite heavy, and it was difficult for the two of them to get out of the car.Qu Jia first put the canopy on the side of the car, jumped off the ground by himself, turned his head and gave Zhou Yao a wink, Zhou Yao then slid the canopy into Qu Jia's arms, jumped down by himself, picked it up and ran.
Let others vomit blood, that's the tacit understanding.
Everyone around was laughing, Wang Lujun cursed a few words wronged, and jumped out of the car with a drooping face.
Zhou Yao turned around and smiled: I'm sorry, we always bully each other.
Qu Jia also turned around, and gave the other party an arrogant expression: You have a kind of ten or eight, and we are two; you are alone, and we are two, if I catch you today, who are you bullying?
The second half of the tree planting activity that afternoon was very smooth and enjoyable.
The girls were all infected by the warm atmosphere, and they came out from under the shade of the trees to help the boys cultivate and water the soil.They also tease each other with watering pipes, laughing and making trouble.
The girls brought a large box of popsicles and ice bricks directly to the boys from the canteen on the street, as a treat.
"Who digs the most holes?" Huang Xiaoxiao yelled with a smile, "If you dig a few holes, you will be given ice bricks!"
"Me!" Zhou Yao and Qu Jia said in unison.
After yelling, glance at the other person at the same time.
Qu Jia: Don't make a fuss, me.
Zhou Yao: I let you go.
Qu Jia said, "I dug a total of five holes."
Zhou Yao said: "I could have dug seven or eight, but am I busy with other things?"
Huang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Give them all, so what flavor do you two want to eat? I bought many kinds."
"The one with Arctic taro." The two spoke in unison again.
Then they glanced at each other silently, so disgusted, you go away, you always eat the same taste as me...
The two of them wrapped all the taro ice cubes round, so if they were exposed, they would be exposed.Recently, the new flavor of ice bricks released by the Arctic Ocean happens to be very popular.
After the group activity was over, they should have left. The workers on the truck started to work at this time, shouting: "Master Wang, let's start building flower shelves? Get all the flower garden fences up!"
"Get it done, let's go after finishing tonight!" That Master Wang also jumped out of the car, he was the leader of the greening contractor team, who enthusiastically instructed Zhou Yao how to plant that little cedar tree just now. Dig one meter deeper, and set up a support frame for spring wind protection on all sides.
Several old workers in their factory, all in their 50s and [-]s, took off their undershirts and went shirtless under the harsh western sun, working on the side of the street with traffic.
Standing in the sun, dodging the car, and working hard.
A tertiary enterprise like theirs diverts employees, and a dozen or so acquaintances set up an engineering team.Usually it is a group of laid-off workers in the same workshop, and someone who can do things pulls the banner to pick the leader. Everyone muster up the courage to put down their iron rice bowls, walk out of the gate of the factory, and work outside to earn money.This is no different from the livelihood of the migrant workers from other places in the future.If you don’t take the initiative to throw down the iron rice bowl, others will take it away from you in the future, forcing you to retire from illness or directly laid off, and drive to the streets to fend for yourself.The tree moves the dead and the living, and there is a way out if you move the nest earlier.
Qu Jia and Zhou Yao watched for a while, and then went to help with the work. In this evening, they helped the uncles and uncles in their factory erect the iron fence of the flower pond.
Master Wang's name is Wang Guisheng, and he used to be a machine disassembly worker in the third workshop of the machine tool factory.
Zhou Yao's first impression of that uncle was that he was shirtless and had a good figure. He didn't sit in an office at first glance, but he often worked!
"Thank you, you boys." Wang Guisheng nodded to them several times, chatting while working, sweat dripping down his shoulders, and his arms were covered with bulging veins... It looked like it was their father's. old.
"Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School is pretty good. Which class do you two belong to?" Wang Guisheng rested his breath with his hands on his hips. His age is not forgiving. "I'll give you a class later, and I'll send you a certificate!"
"You don't need it, uncle, we don't leave names for our good deeds." Zhou Yao smiled.
"It's very capable, it's been hard work." Wang Guisheng spoke in a slightly sandy voice of tobacco and alcohol, "These goddamn children are all only children, how many of them are able to work? They don't necessarily study well when they enter school. You can't even do anything! It's not like we were back then, our generation didn't study culture well, but we can do anything... You two are not bad."
"Thank you for your compliment!" Zhou Yao smiled again, "Then, then you can give us both a certificate, that's fine."
Qu Jia gave him a disgusted look, "Yaoyao is an official fan, you just love him."
"I don't know your name yet? ... Oh, Zhou Yao, far away." Wang Guisheng nodded and glanced at Zhou Yao, then stared at Qu Jia, "I know you, Qu Jia, I used to see you in the factory Watching you, the cafeteria, the bathhouse... I've been watching you since you went to the machine tool factory kindergarten when you were a child."
Qu Jia didn't even react.
"I know your mother, we are old acquaintances." Wang Guisheng said casually, "Master Qu was common in the past. We were a large group of people, all in the 68th class, and entered this factory without finishing school."
Qu Jia snorted, really unfamiliar, really do not know.
Almost finished, the workers closed the stall, Wang Guisheng greeted at the entrance of the small shop: "Thirsty? What to drink, tell me!"
"Just the Arctic Ocean, thank you Uncle, you don't have to be polite." The good student Zhou Yao is still restrained in front of outsiders, he is handsome and sweet-hearted.
"Don't you drink beer?" Qu Jia told him thoroughly.
"Then come beer!" Wang Guisheng shook his head, "It's okay, I can drink it here, no one cares about you two. Three bottles of beer, ice cold!"
The three of them were blowing beer in the street, and Zhou Yao drank it, really thirsty.One bottle of him is not enough, this "Yanjing" is like tap water, the foam is not strong enough.
That boy Wang Lujun came here for a walk again at this time. It is estimated that their third middle school was also disbanded and turned back.
"Oh, I drank it..." Wang Lujun muttered unhappily, his eyes wide open, unhappy.
Wang Guisheng turned his head: "You want a bottle too?"
Wang Lujun came over with his schoolbag slanted, and hummed, "No need, you can drink by yourself."
Wang Guisheng said, "Is school okay? Let's go back. If I'm late, the things in the car will have to be taken back to the factory."
Wang Lujun muttered and asked: "Then, what about dinner, where do you eat?"
Wang Guisheng asked back, "Where do you plan to eat?"
Zhou Yao: "..."
Qu Jia: "..."
Zhou Yao squinted at Qu Jia, what the hell is going on?Do you know him or not?
Qu Jia also looked dazed, lowered his head and wiped his face, subconsciously touched the cartilage on the bridge of his nose...
Comrade Wang then shook his head and said to Xiao Wang: "Hey, you go to the grocery store in Dongdaqiao to buy cooked food, and you can make noodles at home...or go to the greenhouse and eat a bowl of noodles? It's cheap. , five yuan and one bowl will fill you up?"
Qu Jia choked on the beer violently, turned his face away and wanted to cough.
Wang Lujun's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Dad, give me 50 yuan, and I'll go eat."
Wang Guisheng frowned: "How much money?"
Wang Lujun looked aggrieved and downcast, and Qu Jia and Zhou Yao were on the same side. The three of them poked at the entrance of the canteen, and stood like three burly door gods, with extremely subtle expressions.
When I knelt in the car just now, and a big bruise was knocked on my knee, Wang Lujun burst out of depression: "Didn't I lose by planting a tree just now, please treat these two people to dinner!...they said they want to eat California beef Mian Dawang, 50 yuan, do you have any money in your pocket?!"
This is also a brat who usually goes out after school and no one cares about him. In fact, he can only afford a bowl of noodles for five yuan.He usually pretends to be the boss in school, and spends his pocket money hard, otherwise he would snatch Zhou Yao's pair of sweaty sneakers as if they were treasures?
"No need!" Zhou Yao took a step back immediately with a wink, "I was joking just now, Jun'er, forget it."
Qu Jia turned his head and wanted to leave, bewildered.
"Then you should really ask, but you can't hold back, you can't be cowardly, please let them eat." Wang Guisheng really paid for it, and he was straightforward. After digging for a while, the last few scraps were worth ten cents.
"Uncle, I really don't need it. Uncle, we were joking just now, just for fun. I and we both know each other well." Zhou Yao explained solemnly, pushing Qu Jia back five meters in one step, "Let's meet Lu Jun at the billiards hall this weekend. Let's play together, we will treat you to beef noodles later!"
The two of them simply ran away that day, messed around, and were ashamed.
They are two people, and the father and son are also two people. If they bully one, who are you bullying?
"Wang Lujun's father is quite polite and didn't scold us." Zhou Yao babbled along the way, "Hey, do you know his father? What does his father do?"
"Who is he?" Qu Jia frowned, "I've never seen it before."
"Ah, the certificate of commendation must be blown!" Guaner Fan suddenly thought of this, and Zhou Yao was immediately disappointed, "Wang Lujun turned around and told his father, what should we say about the two of us? That kid must have nothing to say."
Qu Jia stared at him again from a distance. At that time, he really didn't like the little Taibao of No. [-] Middle School.
Then Wang Lujun's father also said, "I watched you when you were in kindergarten", what the hell is going on?
