I want to have a home

A high fever and a heartbreak tortured Lin Jiale to death, and all the flesh that had grown up over the past year disappeared without a trace.The fourth aunt saw that he was so thin that he was out of shape, and felt very distressed.Lin Jiale smiled nonchalantly, there was nothing to regret, what he had eaten this year was a waste of money, it would be better if he went back, he would not owe anything.

The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt saw that he came back suddenly and had another sudden illness. When he got better, they asked him why.Lin Jiale's mouth was like a closed shell, and he didn't say anything.The fourth uncle sighed, and said: "Jia Le, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, there is always your reason. The fourth uncle just hopes that you will be safe in the future, and forget all the sad things in the past."

Lin Jiale bit her lip and nodded: "Thank you fourth uncle, I know."

After recovering from illness, Lin Jiale insisted on returning to her home, tidied up the house, didn't live there for a few days, and didn't live in years. She buried her grandparents, burned paper, and went south again alone.This time, after arriving in G City, he didn't go any further. He went to Liu Mingliang's house.

Liu Mingliang and Yu Lan looked at the skinny Lin Jiale, and were shocked: "Jiale, what's wrong with you? Why are you so thin?"

Lin Jiale squeezed out a smiling face: "Brother Liu, sister-in-law, I'm here to bother you."

Liu Mingliang took his luggage: "Come in, come in and talk."

Yu Lan quickly went to get him some boiling water: "Ale, haven't you had breakfast yet? Sister-in-law is going to make noodles for you."

"Thank you sister-in-law." Lin Jiale was not polite, took a sip of water, looked around the room, "brother, you and sister-in-law are not going to work today? Where are Niu Niu and grandma?"

"I haven't gone out today. Today is Sunday, and your sister-in-law is resting. Niu Niu took his grandmother out early in the morning, and he couldn't sit still in the house." Liu Mingliang smiled innocently, "Jia Le, where are you going?" Come on, it’s so early, there’s no car coming from City D.”

Lin Jiale put down the water glass: "I just came from my hometown. Brother, I quit my job and am not working in D City."

Liu Mingliang was taken aback: "Didn't you say you did a good job a while ago? Why didn't you do it? Something happened?"

Lin Jiale lowered his eyes: "Something happened, I don't want to do it there."

Although Liu Mingliang regretted that good job, but seeing Lin Jiale's distraught appearance, he must have left there because of something serious: "If you don't do it, you don't do it. It's the same when you come to G City to find a job. It's better to have someone to take care of you if you are closer."

Lin Jiale sniffed, brother Liu is really a reassuring big brother, he doesn't ask what happened to him, anyway he supports his decision 100%.He thought for a while and said, "Brother, I actually saw my mother."

"Huh?" Liu Mingliang heard him say that he didn't know where his mother went.

"She married a Hong Kong boss and lived a very rich life. But she didn't want to recognize me, and I didn't want to cause trouble for her, so I left." Lin Jiale said lightly.

Liu Mingliang was very angry: "You are a real mother, how could she do this? You are her son after all!"

Lin Jiale shook her head: "I don't have any relationship with her other than blood relationship. It's normal for her to deny me. Besides, I'm old too. I've come here without my mother these years. I'm more comfortable without her."

Liu Mingliang sighed: "Since you plan to do this yourself, forget it, if you don't admit it, don't admit it. Don't think about it too much, let's stay in G City from now on, brother and sister-in-law are your own brother and sister-in-law."

Lin Jiale nodded with tears in his eyes: "Thank you bro!" This voice of gratitude was from the bottom of my heart.

Yu Lan came out with a bowl of egg noodles: "Jiale, come, eat noodles. From now on, sister-in-law's place will be your own home, don't look outside."

Lin Jiale took the bowl: "Thank you sister-in-law, then I will not be polite."

Liu Mingliang watched him take a few mouthfuls of noodles, and stood up: "Jia Le, eat first, and sleep well after eating, brother has gone to work, and we will continue to chat when we come back at night."

Lin Jiale stopped Liu Mingliang: "Brother, I want to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Liu Mingliang stopped.

"I don't want to look for work for the time being. Brother, are you short of people? I'll go learn decoration with you." Lin Jiale thought of all the traps and risks in the workplace, and he really didn't have the energy to deal with them at the moment.Although the work that Brother Liu does is very rough, the migrant workers he comes into contact with are all down-to-earth people like Brother Liu, easy to deal with, and don't have to worry about being stabbed behind the scenes.

Liu Mingliang's expression was a little unbelievable. Although Lin Jiale was not a high-level intellectual, in his eyes, he was a scholar. How could he do such a job as himself? "Jia Le, brother, this kind of work is hard and tiring, and you don't earn much. I'm afraid I will bury you."

Lin Jiale insisted: "Brother, I can endure hardships. I don't want to do this all the time. I want to do it first. Let's take it as a transition. Maybe I will find another job in the next year."

Liu Mingliang nodded: "Okay, if you don't dislike this job, I'll go tell the foreman and bring you if necessary."

"Thank you bro!"

"Let's eat noodles, why are you being polite with me!" Liu Mingliang patted the back of his head, picked up the toolbox and went out.

In the evening, Liu Mingliang came back and told Lin Jiale that in two days, he would start to decorate an office building and needed more manpower. The foreman was willing to let Lin Jiale go, but because he was a novice, he could only do small jobs first, and the salary was relatively low.Liu Mingliang was worried that Lin Jiale would not want to do this, but Lin Jiale agreed.

Before going to work, Lin Jiale went to look for a house nearby. It was not an option to rent Liu Mingliang's place for a long time. Finding a single room nearby was convenient for commuting and a place where he could study with peace of mind.When Lin Jiale came out of the house, he memorized all his textbooks. They were all thrown in the Hongrui Factory, and they would have been disposed of as garbage by now, but he has no intention of taking care of them.For him, it was a nightmare place, and he never wanted to go there for the rest of his life.

Liu Mingliang helped him find a good house, and arranged all the furniture and objects, and finally settled a small nest.According to Liu Mingliang, Jiale doesn't earn much, so why spend that money on renting a house, it's fun and can save a lot of rent.Lin Jiale said that when everyone lives together, the excitement is lively, but they can't study at ease, it's not as convenient as living alone.In fact, since what happened to He Fangxu, he has become a little bit more resentful towards getting along with the same sex, and he can no longer openly coexist with a group of big men shirtless in the same room.Although the rent costs a little, it is still affordable. He doesn't have a family, so if he saves money, the money will come out.

After New Year's Day, many people returned to their hometowns for the New Year, and some migrant workers in the decoration company who had nothing to do for the time being also went back. Once the foreman received a job, he had to temporarily hire someone to fill the vacancy.That's how Lin Jiale was called. He has no skills and is thin. At first glance, he looks like a person who has not done physical work. The foreman was quite dissatisfied at first.Liu Mingliang handed over several cigarettes, and repeatedly assured the foreman, Lao Guo, that his younger brother would definitely endure hardships and stand hard work.Lao Guo clamped the cigarette to his ear: "Since this is the case, let's do it first. If the work is not done well, the salary will have to be reduced."

Lin Jiale nodded indifferently. A decorator is no better than a porter. He relies on his strength to eat. The most important thing in decoration is skill and proficiency, so he feels that he is completely competent.

Sure enough, within a few days, he was already able to do well, Lao Guo nodded: "I can't tell, this kid is quite clever, he learns things really fast."

Liu Mingliang said proudly: "Of course, my brother is a serious and talented student. If he didn't have the money to study, how could he be reduced to doing this job with me?"

Lin Jiale pursed his lips, and carefully applied the milky white wall glue to the wall layer by layer, turning his head from time to time to check whether it was ironed evenly.Although you need to master skills to do these things, what is more important is proficiency. Once you are proficient, you will be able to do them with ease.Once he became proficient in his hands, his mind would be free, and he couldn't control his thoughts, so he wanted to run to the cafe that day. This was a huge torture, so he kept talking to his co-workers.Liu Mingliang found it very strange that Jiale was originally a child who seldom talked, but after the decoration, he talked a lot, at least on the surface he became more cheerful.

Apart from talking to his co-workers, Lin Jiale was thinking about how to do the work in hand so that it could be done quickly and well.What are the uses of those decoration materials, and what are their characteristics? Even when he was walking on the road and saw some paint shops, he would go in to inquire about the situation and learn about the prices of different grades of materials.If it was in the past, he would definitely have brushed it off, but now that he is in this line of work, he wants to study it thoroughly.

During the Chinese New Year, Liu Mingliang took his wife and children back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.Lin Jiale had just returned from home, and grandma's paper money had been burned, so there was nothing to worry about, so she didn't go back.Liu Mingliang tried his best to invite him to go home for the New Year, but Lin Jiale refused with a smile. Although they really regarded themselves as brothers, how could he, an outsider, get involved in this kind of reunion of flesh and blood.It just so happened that the foreman took over another home improvement job, and many workers went back, and there were not many left, so Lin Jiale took over. It's better to have something to do than to idle around and think about it.

After the new year, Lin Jiale can be regarded as a formal decoration worker, and his wages have doubled compared to before. After a day, he can earn hundreds of dollars.This is calculated to be higher than his original salary in purchasing, but there is one disadvantage in this line of work, that is, there is no guarantee that there will be work every day, and if there is no work, there will be no wages.

When not working, Lin Jiale reads and studies at home, and sometimes goes to Liu Mingliang's house to eat and play with Niu Niu.Niu Niu is a very cute child, with a round head, round eyes, and even a small mouth. Lin Jiale is familiar with Niu Niu, and he laughed and teased him more than once: "You shouldn't be called Niu Niu, You should be called Yuanyuan!"

Niu Niu pouted Yuanyuan's little mouth, and corrected seriously: "I am Niu Niu, and Yuanyuan is next door." It turned out that there really was a little girl named Yuanyuan next door.

Niu Niu likes this uncle very much. He used to call Lin Jiale his elder brother all the time, but Lin Jiale also called his father his elder brother. In this way, the seniority has been misunderstood, so everyone corrected him many times, and finally gave Niu Niu the title of Niu Niu. Corrected.So Lin Jiale was promoted from elder brother to uncle.Niu Niu is very naughty and smart. Because his grandmother took him with him, he learned cantonese and mandarin with his father. When Lin Jiale came, he taught him to speak his hometown dialect, so he was alone. It was all reflected, he was able to deal with it freely, what to say when he saw someone, it really made the grown-ups feel ashamed.This lovely child brought endless joy to a room full of adults.
