Chapter 24

The winter sun had just tore through the clouds, and the faint light reflected on the hoarfrost ground.

Xiaoqiu wakes up his two little brothers and tells them to get up early and go to school.Because the school is far away, they have to start early and walk for more than two hours to arrive at school on time.

"I won't go, the second brother loves to study, so the second brother will go." The cement boy got into the quilt and pressed it tightly with his body, so as not to reveal any gaps, he just refused to go out.

"Get up quickly, you have to go to school." Xiaoqiu grabbed Xiaojin's ears and pulled him up first, then went to lift the cement quilt.

"Aiyo, aiyo..." Brother Xiaojin covered his ears, looked at his second brother's darkened face, got up and put on his clothes, and muttered softly, "It's better to pick up trash than go to school."

"What are you talking about! Say it again, if you don't go to school, you will starve to death, and no one should come back to eat." Xiaoqiu cursed, he spent so much effort to let his younger brother have the opportunity to study, but the big and the young didn't want to Go, the eldest brother was recruited into the front room where the gangster lived.

All this made him impatient and heartbroken, hating them for not being able to live up to expectations, and also hating himself for being incompetent.

Cement sat up straight, and confronted his brother with an angry face, "What's so good about that crappy school? The kids in it are all stupid, and the teachers are all big-nosed."

"Let you go to school and read, you don't care what the teacher looks like." Xiaoqiu pulled the cement and insisted on letting him go to school. The lunch box was packed into the schoolbag, the small textbook was small, and the nibs were also packed. This is the most beautiful thing Xiaoqiu picked up. stationery.

"I won't go, I won't go." Cement began to cry, "The kids in the school all have school uniforms, but my brother and I don't; other people's shoes are all white, or in pairs, but mine are uniforms. The black ones are not the same. The teacher asked me to change to a pair of white ones, saying that I should wear white shoes uniformly; the cafeteria at noon is full of fragrance, and my brother and I have no money to go in, so we finally picked up a big chicken leg to eat. The uncle in the white hat said it fell on the ground, told me to throw it away, and forbade me to eat it; what kind of crap did the teacher teach, and I didn’t understand at all..." The cement was pieced here and there, loudly venting all the complaints in my heart When he came out, Xiao Jin bowed his head and remained silent.

Xiaojin and Cement don’t have any foundation in studying. They are both in the first grade. They are the biggest students in the class. They are with a group of children. As a result, they can’t learn any subjects. Gradually, the teacher doesn’t let them answer questions. Everything made them very, very ashamed, especially Xiao Jin was 12 years old and should be in the upper grades.

Although I know that comparisons should not be made, everyone is sitting in the same classroom, so why do they eat and dress differently from others.

Xiaoqiu clenched the strap of his schoolbag tightly, trembling all over, and took a few deep breaths calmly.

Xiaoqiu slowly took out the money that was placed close to him, wrapped several layers, and handed some to Xiao Jin, "Both of you go to the flea market to buy a pair of white shoes, and the rest of the money goes to the cafeteria at noon."

Xiaoqiu no longer looked at the two of them, tidied up the bed tiredly, his bent body aged a lot.Xiaojin and Cement are borrowing students now, and the tuition fees are very expensive. Dahu has already helped to pay for the first year of school, and will need more money in the future.Whether it's tuition fees or the daily miscellaneous expenses of the two children, how can he earn such a huge amount of money, and how much he has to do for Dahu to support his younger brother.

There is also the "Phase [-] blueprint" that Dahu mentioned. Xiaoqiu couldn't read, so he couldn't tell the difference between the blueprints.

Xiaoqiu didn't want to sell Big Brother Wang's blueprints to Dahu, the construction site was good enough for him, but sooner or later, Dahu would force him, and he didn't know what he would do.Fortunately, the foundation has already been laid in the construction site of the old building, so it seems that there is no need to steal the blueprint for a while.

After clearing up his mood, Xiaoqiu went to the construction site to help make breakfast, where his mood always improved.

The young worker got up early and had already boiled the rice.Xiaoqiu went in to say hello with a smile, said good morning, and went to help make steamed buns, pulling the noodles that had been made last night into balls and turning them into round steamed buns.

The foreman is good to his younger brother. How can there be so many delicious food in the general construction site, and even the poor condition is not as good as in the old building. Xiaoqiu smelled the fragrance and kept feeling.

"You know, the second boss said, after breakfast, the elder brother foreman will hold a meeting for us." The workers chatted with each other.

"I think it's likely to snow this day, and the foreman can give us a holiday."

"Look at the clouds. The snow shouldn't be too heavy. Let's send a car to the construction site soon. Let's go to the city and buy some gifts to bring back to my parents."

"I want to go back to the village." The worker's younger brother chatted enthusiastically. The workers who had finished their meal soon crowded into a group, and they all ran to the mobile room to wait for the meeting. There were loud voices everywhere, and it was quiet until the foreman came in. " Heads, two heads" people kept saying hello.

The foreman has sharp eyes, stands unabated in front of many tall workers, and is very convincing.His healthy and tanned handsome face was as serious as ever, "I have something to tell everyone today.

The first thing is about the construction site. Seeing that the weather can snow, the holiday will start this afternoon, and work will resume on the third day after the snow stops.

Xiaoba has already arranged the car, if you want to go out to play, you can sign up, come to my place at noon to get the money, buy gifts or go to the restaurant at will. "

As soon as the foreman's words fell, the workers below burst into cheers, and the foreman was also happy to see that after working continuously for so many days, everyone should take a break.

The foreman waved his hand, and then continued in silence, "Second thing, we have completed the first phase of the project, and we need to change a group of workers in the second phase of the project. The soil quality of our land is not good. Let some old people come over to ensure the safety of the building. At the same time, our headquarter has also dispatched some young and strong guys to support other construction sites of the group, who is lucky enough to represent our headquarter to support, and the second head will be selected in a few days to tell everyone."

Looking at these serious and obedient worker brothers with sharp eyes behind the binoculars, the big idiot is eagerly sticking his head out.Don't worry, there must be you!Ertou made a list in his mind.

"Come on, let me tell you about my private affairs." The foreman was a little awkward, and the big man's private affairs should be discussed at the meeting, but as the eldest brother, he should explain to his younger brother, "Brother, I have found a partner."

As soon as the foreman finished talking, the workers burst into cheers and applause even more enthusiastically than going out to play. The gang of big men on the construction site started shouting in a rough voice, and the New Year's fireworks were not so lively. "Who is it, brother, do we know each other?"

The foreman suppressed the out-of-control scene, and said in a cheerful tone, "Everyone knows each other, from the old building."

Xiaoqiu hid in the corner and listened to the foreman's meeting. Hearing this, his heart beat faster for a while. Although he knew it was not him, the old building was closely related to him. When he came to the old building, it was like hearing that he might be on the candidate list. He was nervous and looking forward to it .

"It's Xiao Que. He came to fetch water and took care of me. You all know him." The foreman said about Xiao Que, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

"Congratulations brother!"

"Xiao Que, he's pretty good-looking. His son is so pretty. He eats like a guinea pig."

The two heads looked at the younger brother's lively discussion, and his sharp eyes secretly recorded all the people with pouty mouths. After discussing with the eldest brother, they all sent them to exercise.

"Boss, I saw that the kitchen bought wine, do you want to celebrate?" Alcohol is not allowed on the construction site, so it is a joy to have wine, and it is a big event to celebrate.

"Are you going to get married?"

"Xiao Que may come to live here. Now you are not allowed to steal wine, please drink to your heart's content once the letter is confirmed."

The foreman looked at the younger brother and made a fuss, "I want to make an agreement with you. First, you are not allowed to call him a little lame in the future. Second, he is very timid. After he comes, you are not allowed to scare him. You can just play around and throw dead mice. It’s not okay to pretend to be a ghost in the middle of the night to scare people. Third, third, I’ll tell you when I think about it. Oh, by the way, I’m already a family member. Come knock on the door of my room and I’ll let you in. , you come in again."

The workers' younger brothers all laughed, nodded and agreed, "Brother, don't worry, I won't bully Xiao Que. I don't want to leave when the custody comes, follow me!"

The foreman thought for a while, and said to Xiaoqiu who was blushing in the corner, "Xiaoqiu, you don't have to help me with the house anymore, my eyes are almost healed, and besides, Xiaoque will take care of me in the future."

Before Xiaoqiu, who was suddenly named, could react, the younger brother of the worker had already yelled and asked, "What will you call Xiao Que in the future? It's impolite to call you by name."

"Call me sister-in-law!"

"Hi, sister-in-law." The foreman nodded immediately when he heard this.

"Your name is sister-in-law. I think Xiao Que will be frightened. Big brother, let's call him normally. We will change the name when we are officially married." The second head suggested unhurriedly.

The foreman was overwhelmed by the booing and joy of the crowd. After listening to Wang Jiantu's words and thinking about Xiao Que's character, he had no choice but to agree to let everyone continue to call him Xiao Que so that Xiao Que would not feel uncomfortable living there.

Because the workers worked for half a day today and there was no heavy work, the second foreman took it with him and carefully checked the foundation project to see if everything was ok.

The work on the construction site was not heavy, so Xiaoba called a few young workers to flatten the land behind the foreman's room, and built a large steel plate room, opened a door in the foreman's original room, and turned it into a suite in no time.

Workers come in and out, carrying boxes of items out of the warehouse and pile them into the foreman's room.

The foreman's announcement that he was officially partnering with Xiao Que had a great impact on Xiaoqiu. Can a man and a man be so open and aboveboard? Besides, everyone enthusiastically went to help clean up the house. Looking at the boxes, Xiaoqiu felt lost. I was so curious that I followed into the room that was being renovated.

"Xiao Ba, is it okay to go through the open pipe, or I have to dig a hole for the hidden pipe, which is quite far away." The worker who connected the water pipe asked Xiao Ba for instructions. He wanted to turn on the tap in the room. Xiao Ba is now in charge of the foreman's room. Decoration, self-appointed as the general manager.

"No. Big brother connected the water pipe in the house because of Xiao Que's sister-in-law's bad legs and feet. What should I do if there is a pipe on the ground and Xiao Que laughs at my sister-in-law?" With a serious expression on his face, Xiao Ba vowed to do the task assigned by his big brother perfect.

"What's the difficulty in digging the pit? You take over, I'll dig it, you fix the pipes, I'll dig the waterway, and you just bury it." A big worker put down the box in his hand, and immediately went to get the tools and the water pipe. The workers teamed up and left together.

"Don't press the steel plate, put the bathtub in first." Xiaoba and several workers moved a large bathtub into the suite, and it would not be a problem to accommodate two grown men.

"Using the bathtub is so troublesome, it's better to wash it in cold water." The worker looked at the bathtub with various buttons and thought it was too complicated.

"It uses electricity, and it releases water very quickly. It is said that it can also be used for steam massage." Xiao Ba watched the workers put the bathtub in place, and opened the large plastic bag covering it.

"Xiaoba, children's beds are fun now, but we didn't have these when we were young." A younger brother of a worker is installing a children's bed, and a partition is placed in the suite to create a children's room.

The worker who pressed the small table and chair next to him smiled and said, "Look at the small wardrobe, it is not as tall as me, and the round handle on this drawer is too small, I can only open it with my fingers. Haha, the small clothes hanger is It’s for dolls, and this little chair is only as big as my palm.”

"It's all for children, you're too big to break it." Xiao Ba didn't finish taking care of it, but another worker shouted and laughed.

"Xiaoba, masters, what kind of curtains are you hanging? I haven't touched the curtains in the years I have been working." The worker is fixing the curtain racks, trying the slides back and forth, "There are double slides, why do the curtains have two layers. "

"What do you know? From now on, my elder brother and Xiao Que's sister-in-law will live in the same room, and you will be able to sleep without the curtains drawn. I will let you watch." The worker giggled, "If I dare to watch, my elder brother will smash me."

He jumped off the ladder frame in one step, and went to get the curtains from the box, "Why are there so many kinds of curtains, layer by layer? There are too many hooks, I can't do this delicate work with my big hands."

"I'll do it." Xiaoqiu looked at it for a long time, and finally there was a job that he could do.

"No need to hang up, no need to hang up." Xiao Ba immediately stopped, "After a while, all these boxes will be put in the closet. My brother said that the clothes, bed sheets and curtains, and these household things are all arranged by my sister-in-law, and we are not allowed to move."

The worker who was holding the box over there began to look curiously, "So many clothes are for winter."

"Don't open the package, it belongs to Xiao Que's little sister-in-law." Xiao Ba couldn't stop it anymore, the workers gathered to look at all kinds of new clothes, and everyone reached out to pick up one curiously.

"Xiao Ba, the one you chose was chosen by the eldest brother himself. Why does it look like a maid costume played on the computer?"

"This one is so soft, I have to be careful, it won't be crushed." The tall worker compared himself, "Such a small sweater, here is a matching white woolen coat, and the coat is also so small."

"It belongs to Xiao Que's little sister-in-law. My elder brother asked me to order the smallest size. You are 1.9 meters tall, so feel free to compare it to yourself."

"This is pajamas? If you wear silk in winter, it will freeze, but it is quite slippery, but it is too short and has no sleeves." The silk pajamas held by the workers are very smooth, flowing down the fingers like water.

"The length is right up to the thighs, and it's the popular wife's dress this season." Xiao Ba acted like you didn't understand anything, but he chose this one.

The younger brother of the worker joked with the clothes, "The color is so beautiful, what do you know? Brother, I will make a decision after seeing this color." Xiao Ba snatched them one by one and put them in the closet. Leave it to my sister-in-law to tidy it up, and you don’t need to fold it.”

"Xiao Ba, here is a pair of shoes. They are white and fluffy. They are beautiful, but I can't wear them on the construction site."

"Take it away, brother won't let you buy shoes, I seem to have forgotten to cancel the order for this pair." Xiaoba was in a hurry, and his own negligence made things unsatisfactory.

"It's pretty, keep it for my sister-in-law to wear, and just brush it when it gets dirty."

"No, brother said to buy shoes for his lover, but the other party ran away and couldn't buy them. Didn't I curse brother, hurry up, whoever of you can wear them, take them away quickly."

"I can wear it with my hands." The worker stretched his hand in and Bibi said, "It's so warm inside, and it's so small."

"Haha, I asked my elder brother what is the shoe size of Xiao Que's sister-in-law, and my elder brother is also like this. After thinking for a long time, I stretched out my big hand and said, 'That's how big it is'." Xiao Ba broke the news inadvertently.

"Brother touched my sister-in-law's feet!" The worker secretly laughed.

"Don't talk about that, whoever takes the shoes away, don't let the elder brother know." Xiao Ba quickly changed the subject.

Xiaoqiu's younger brother didn't want to go to school in the morning because he didn't have shoes. Here is a brand new pair of shoes, but no one wants him.

Xiaoqiu stared at the beautiful pair of white shoes, he wanted them very much, his family needed shoes a lot, but in the end he didn't ask.Shoes originally belonged to Xiao Que, and Xiaoqiu didn't want these things that Xiao Que didn't want.

Xiao Que will not care about a pair of shoes in the future, he and his baby will have a lot, the foreman doesn't seem to care about spending money at all, and the workers here also look very ordinary, today these things are enough for all the expenses of the younger brother's schooling.
