Silly man eats peaches

After the Lunar New Year, the streets are full of festive red packaging with lit firecrackers.

This is Xu Qiang's first big year alone. When he was a child, he was with his parents, and after he came out to work, he had coworkers. Then he brought Chen Sen to the city with Chen Sen, then with Chen Yiqing, and finally with himself.

Xu Qiang's attitude is very tough, you must catch up with Chen Sen, Pan Tao and Xiaotian Zhang Hao, you all go from house to house during the New Year's Eve, you must come and squeeze me, brother is not paralyzed and you have to give shit side pee...

Helpless, all the talents were driven home by Xu Qiang brandishing crutches to celebrate the New Year.

Mourning, Xu Qiang was still ignorant of their lobbying, thinking that in this deserted place, he alone was enough, so why bother everyone.

In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the most beautiful thing is to hold your daughter-in-law in a warm home, eat some drinks and fruits, and sleep when you are tired.

And he, Xu Qiang, has no longer hoped for this beauty.Gather up the things in the house and go to sleep earlier, and wake up earlier tomorrow, that unique loneliness on the street in New Year's Eve.

There were very few pedestrians, most of whom were walking alone, and the entire unreachable land was covered by heavy snow.

Xu Qiang was lonely but not discouraged, cheered up, now he is alone.Still dragging a broken leg, I can't lose my desire for life.

Although a little lonely, but fortunately Xu Qiang can adapt to all kinds of work to survive.

In just half a month after the year, the temperature has risen by more than ten degrees, and the low rise has only recently shown some signs of stabilization.

When the weather gets warmer, Xu Qiang's legs will be less sinful.

With an income of only 14 yuan a day, Xu Qiang began to collect some paper shells piecemeal, which are worth more than plastic in terms of weight.All the household items in the courtyard house were given to Xu Qiang to sell, and the surrounding households in the city were also familiar with Xu Qiang. Now even if the leg hurts, he no longer has to go shopping on the street, and he can still have a fixed day's income. .

Xu Qiang didn't go out to buy food when he was hungry. After [-] o'clock in the morning market, there were a lot of rotten vegetables that no one wanted, and one yuan could sell back Xu Qiang's food for three days.Rejecting the ready-made meals that Chen Sen and the others sent over every day, Xu Qiang wanted to be independent.

Besides, he can support himself even if he picks up junk now, which is much better than when he first started.

Moreover, Xu Qiang gradually has a plan now, and his ultimate plan goal is to open a scrap yard! ! !

Let's take it slow first, and follow a small plan. Xu Qiang thinks that within two years he can afford the rent of this small courtyard house on his own.

Snow melted into water.There was no wind at the beginning of this year, only fresh air-conditioning.

The snow water melted into the soil again and turned into mud, and the mud spots picked up by the heels of people on the street bounced on their bodies after two steps.

There was a car accident near the school a few days ago, and the front of the car hit a utility pole, causing power failure in half the city.The small village where Xu Qiang lives nearby is the Chiyu that was affected.

Looking at it from a height at night, the village is dark.

There were only two candles lit in the room, wrapped in the cold air seemed to be smaller than usual.The water from the well outside is filled with ice stubble.

Even if it is mixed with a lot of hot water, it will cool down very quickly.

Xu Qiang's injured leg couldn't be bent too much, so he sat on a small wooden stool and straightened that leg, and the dark brown leather trousers that turned out to be muddy in the wash basin.

It took a lot of effort to wash, and when it was hung to dry, both trouser legs were filled with water, and Xu Qiangguang sweated profusely from the exhaustion of controlling the water.He was worried about what he could wear when he went out to collect the rags, and the most forbidden clothes were washed tonight.

Chen Sen spent money to buy those good clothes for him, and Xu Qiang couldn't bear to wear them at all.

He ate two Qin's steamed stuffed buns that had hardened with the pickles, and the filling of the pickled cabbage vermicelli froze into icicles, and the vermicelli became pieces without chewing.

After eating and drinking a few mouthfuls of hot water, Xu Qiang washed the sweat off his face and got into bed.

There was a northwest wind all night, and there was a howling giant beast outside the window. The leggings were fully charged and wrapped up before Xu Qiang went to the kang, so he was able to survive the night when he fell asleep.

The white candle on the cabinet burned down to a small section and was surrounded by dried wax oil, and only the white smoke slowly rising in waves in the darkness gradually disappeared completely.

Chen Yiqing hasn't changed much, she's the same as when she first met Xu Qiang, and even the surrounding environment is surprisingly consistent.

It is very difficult for a man in such clean clothes to enter the dusty construction site, walk around the mess, and stop five steps away from Xu Qiang to stare.Xu Qiang was stared at at a loss, so he could only swing the pick in his hand more vigorously.

The huge boulders lying on the ground should be smashed into countless pieces, splashing onto Xu Qiang's dark arm exposed from the wrist sleeve, and brushing the trouser legs of Chen Yi's blue suit behind him.

Panicked, Xu Qiang cautiously asked if he was okay, while Xu Qiang hurriedly backed away.It seemed like he had walked a hundred or so steps, but behind him he still clearly asked questions, the foreman yelled at him, and asked Chen Yiqing if he was splashed by the gravel...

Dejected, how familiar, this is clearly their first meeting.Xu Qiang couldn't look at his body, and he didn't have the courage to look back at the scene related to him.

The body is getting heavier and lighter...

Blurry, repeated ghosting.

"Yiqing, why do you like me?"

This happy tone made Xu Qiang shake his head desperately, it's too shameful, too shameful.

Running desperately towards the bright light ahead, Xu Qiang didn't want to hear it again.Escape from here, this is a dream, a nightmare, move, you can wake up as long as you move, hurry up Xu Qiang!

The brighter the light, Xu Qiang knew that it was going to be fast, and if it was faster, Chen Yiqing behind him would be fast, and Li would wake up soon.

"Oh, the tear mole is very beautiful."

boom……

The light was gone, Xu Qiang stood blankly in the darkness, and there was no movement behind him.Curling down, Xu Qiang was extremely tired.

Where there is a red tear mole, it is clearly just a gray protruding birthmark.

The wind outside the window stopped at some point, and Xu Qiang, who was on the cold kang, opened his eyes violently, only to find that his whole body was sore, and after waking up, his body, which was too tense, relaxed, and his whole body was numb.

After taking a few breaths, he let go of the painful hand that was tightly clenched by him.His legs ached again from this hell-like nightmare.

tired...

Xu Qiang forced himself to get up from the kang, scrambled to the cabinet and poured down half of the mug of cold boiled water.Sitting next to Kang Yan'er to slow down his too fast heartbeat, and finally nestled under the quilt and continued to sleep.

It was difficult to even sleep peacefully.

It's too difficult to sleep through the night without dreaming until dawn. The most difficult thing is the difficult second half of the night after waking up. Obviously half awake, but the brain cells that are so blank during the day are clamoring for activity at the moment.

There are so many things to think about, and I can't help myself if I don't think about it.

Xu Qiang's eyelids twitched and tossed, making him feel an indescribable bad feeling from the bottom of his heart.

Bearing the pain in his legs, he turned around for a while, but he had no choice but to get out of the kang to put on his clothes. The bottom of the cane was very worn, so Xu Qiang tried to turn on the light switch.

The room was still dark green, and sighing softly, Xu Qiang lit a candle and groped into the small cool warehouse next door.I had to use crutches again, and the sole of my left shoe had to be squeezed.

It was less than four o'clock in the morning, and the barbecue stalls on the winter street that used to stay up until dawn all went home early to have a rest. Half of the city was completely dark, and only a few high-rise buildings in the other half were brightly lit.

da da da... da da da...

Da da……

Slow and rhythmic things hitting things, faint candlelight, da da da... da da da...

Da da……

----------------

The end of winter is beautiful, and the last snow that everyone is looking forward to has already fallen for a whole day last night.

Xu Qiang liked it too. He wrapped his worn military overcoat tightly, and it was a little closer to the spring. The temperature continued to rise in the past few days, and it would be better to be cold again after this snow.

At this moment, the spare money in his hand is already enough. Xu Qiang will buy a Sanluzi in spring, and he can buy a cheap second-hand one, and there will be some left over. These two black and white dolls buy some toys.

Has been accepting, Xu Qiang is rare for these two young and sensible.In the past two days, I will hurry up and pick up some things to exchange for money, so that the two children will be happy when the time comes!

I have almost forgotten the uneasiness of that night. It should be said that Chen Yiqing never asked Xu Qiang to sleep for a solid night. The more times he did, the more he got used to it.

The difference between that night and the usual one was just a little more real, real and existed, but it only existed!

It's all over...

There are plastic waterproof black boots on the feet, worn and yellowed jeans, a military coat that reaches to the calf, and a dark red sweater inside.With one hand crutching the cloth bag on the other shoulder.

He was dressed like an ordinary scavenger, with a leather hat with ears on his head to block his eyes. From the outside, the most striking thing about Xu Qiang was the patch under his right eye, which became darker and darker when it was cold. A blue-gray birthmark the size of the little finger cap.

Like frostbite, with Xu Qiang's paler than ordinary people's lip color, it is more conspicuous.

Shouting all the way, Xu Qiang left a few old customers and collected a lot of plastic bottles. The paper shells couldn't be taken away, just like always, Xu Qiang tied up all the paper shells and waited for two days Take the collected bottles and take them away and sell them together.

The soles of the imitation leather boots creaked and creaked in the clear snow, Xu Qiang didn't dare to look far away, his eyes were so pale and piercing that he couldn't open them for a long time.

Walking along the edge of the city, I came to a construction factory about ten miles away. These are also Xu Qiang's old customers, and many of them are familiar workers who worked together to build buildings.

But now Xu Qiang has changed a lot. He is still working as before. Only Xu Qiang has lost his leg and can only support himself by picking up junk.We have been together for three to five years, and the familiar workers also help Xu Qiang. On the way out to eat in a small restaurant, we usually pick up some bottles along the avenue, and save prized beer bottle caps.Give it to Xu Qiang when he comes to collect the scrap iron.

Today is a good day, everyone gathered up two full sacks that could be exchanged for money, even the people who helped Xu Qiang send them to the buying station.
