Zhao Mo Xiu Mo

Zhao Mo's work on the construction site was settled very smoothly.The foreman on the construction site, surnamed Xu, is a strong man in his 40s. The workers call him Mr. Xu.Zhao Shengli led Zhao Mo to him without saying anything else. After a few brief introductions, he asked Zhao Mo to carry a few bags of cement for Mr. Xu to see.

Seeing that the boy brought by Zhao Shengli was dark and thin, and looked like a slender hemp stick, Xu Guoqiang frowned at that time, and did not send Zhao Mo away immediately because of Zhao Shengli's face.Although Zhao Mo had an honest look, his body was not suitable for physical labor. Xu Guoqiang really didn't believe that this kid could do such high-intensity physical labor on the construction site.

But after Zhao Mo showed his strength, Mr. Xu nodded in agreement without saying a word.Seeing that Zhao Mo was a real young man, Mr. Xu asked Zhao Shengli to take him with him, and he did all the work of moving bricks and cement.

Ever since he started working on the construction site, Zhao Mo went out with Uncle Zhao and his son every morning, had a makeshift meal with a group of men on the construction site at noon, and returned home exhausted at night when it was dark.

Although Zhao Mo's strength has increased dramatically after this period of training, his foundation is already weak, and he has only learned nine pictures. His physical strength is still much worse than those of the five big and three thick men on the construction site.

After working like this for a whole day like sweating like rain, Zhao Mo's abundant physical strength when he went out in the morning was completely exhausted by the evening, and when he returned home, his waist was still sore and his back hurt, and he wished he could not get up on the kang.He is a resilient and tolerant person. When working outside, he never yelled when his shoulders hurt, let alone slacking off and doing less work because he was afraid of being tired.

Zhao Jun looked at his elder brother who was exhausted every day when he went home, and without saying a word, he did all the housework outside the house, so that Zhao Mo could eat hot food every day when he came home, and he didn't even need to use dirty clothes Washing by himself, the only job left for him is to put Sanwa to sleep every night.

In the first few days, Zhao Mo was not used to this kind of high-intensity labor. Every night after returning home, he fell asleep after eating, and sometimes he fell asleep before the third baby.When he got up the next morning, he took the time to practice the nine pictures he learned several times to build up his strength, and then he hurried out to work again.

This made Sanwa very dissatisfied, her expressionless little face was getting colder and colder, and her dark eyes were showing a fierce gleam at everything.Zhao Mo was afraid that he would always suffer from bed sores while sitting, so he specifically asked Zhao Jun to take Sanwa out for a walk when he was free. Zhao Jun took him out for a walk twice in the past few days, but he didn't dare to be tired when he came back. The broken elder brother complained, but he never dared to lead him out again.

Because he had to work on the construction site during the day, Zhao Mo had to stop studying the 36 pictures. Learning new movements would consume too much energy, and he was afraid that he would lose energy when working.

After surviving the first few days, he gradually adapted to this kind of high-intensity physical labor. His face was tanned, his lips and face were always dry and flaky, and his hands were covered with thick calluses. .Now he can carry cement for a day and walk with his back straight. When he gets home, he won't be unable to get up on the kang, and he can take his three children out for a walk.

In terms of the lightness and agility of his body, no one can compare to Zhao Mo. Now he can jump more than two meters high in one leap with all his strength, and he can also lower his waist and split legs in the air without changing his face.But when it comes to real strength, Zhao Mo's strength to carry a hundred catties of cement is nothing compared to a group of bull-like men on the construction site.

But he is hardworking and willing to work. He looks honest and honest. Although he is sluggish and can't talk, he never cheats and cheats. He shows his real strength when he does his work.

So in less than ten days, all the men on the construction site accepted him, and no one looked down on his chick-like body anymore, and no one deliberately made things difficult for him to give him more work.Even Mr. Xu thinks this young man is good, he usually takes care of Zhao Mo more or less.

The only thing that makes Zhao Mo feel uncomfortable is that the weather is too hot.He wasn't afraid of being tired or hard, he didn't even complain when a brick accidentally smashed half of the nail of his big toe off. When the bleeding stopped, he wrapped his toe with a piece of cloth and continued to work.But this sweltering weather made him complain unceasingly. Before noon, when the sun was the most poisonous and scorching, he was already drenched, sweating so much that he felt as if he had been fished out of the water.

For this, Zhao Mo had to pour half a bucket of cold water every day.He also wanted to take off his shirt and work shirtless like others, so that his second brother would not have to wash all his clothes every day, but after he was naked once, Mr. Xu specifically asked him to tell him that he could not work in the future. Go shirtless.

Zhao Mo's toe was smashed during the day, and he walked home with a limp at night. Uncle Zhao, who came back with him, was very distressed when he saw how hard he was walking, so he asked his son Dazhu to help him walk, and he was beside him Advise him: "Mozi, you see that your feet are like this, take a rest at home tomorrow, listen to your second uncle, don't go to work."

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Zhao Mo shook his head, without letting Zhao Yuzhu help him, he limped along, "Brother Zhuzi, you don't need to help me, I'm fine walking by myself. In fact, there is nothing wrong with my feet, except that my nails are broken I can't walk very well."

He is stubborn and wants to be strong, if brother Zhuzi takes him back all the way, he will be hurt so badly for him!At that time, he was dizzy from the sun, and the brick was not stable. When he smashed it, it was really painful. After all, the ten fingers connected to the heart, and half of the nails were peeled off. How can it not be painful.

But this meeting has already slowed down, and there is only a slight pain in his toe, and for him, he just passed it.When he first learned how to make pancakes, his hot fingers soaked, and he survived without gritting his teeth.

Second Uncle Zhao sighed, seeing him like this, he stopped persuading him, and praised him with a thumbs up: "Don't look at Mo Zi, you are a small man, you are also a man!"

Zhao Mo smiled embarrassedly and said nothing, but Zhao Yuzhu who was walking behind him smiled honestly and said, "Yes, Mo Zi is much better than me."

Because Zhao Mo couldn't walk, they walked slower than usual, and they arrived home later than usual.Before Uncle Zhao entered the door, he repeatedly told Zhao Mo to pay more attention to work in the future, and not to touch the water with his toes.

Seeing Zhao Shengli and Zhao Yuzhu enter the house, Zhao Mo was about to open the door of his house, and the door was opened from the inside.Zhao Jun, who came out to welcome him, was still worried, and asked, "Brother, why are you coming back now?"

Zhao Mo rubbed his nose, suddenly felt a little guilty, said in a low voice, "Go slowly." and walked into the house.

Zhao Jun, who was walking behind him, could tell at a glance that his walking posture was wrong. Looking down, he saw that the big toe of his right foot was wrapped in a piece of light blue cloth, which had been soaked into a dark color by the oozing blood. that's it.

His face immediately darkened, and he took two steps to catch up and grabbed Zhao Mo's arm, his voice trembling sharply: "What's wrong with your feet?!"

"Accidentally knocked a brick down, it's nothing serious." Zhao Mo got a headache when he saw his second brother's angry look, but in fact it's really nothing serious, just leave this minor injury alone for two or three days and it will be fine.

Sanwa, who was meditating on the kang in the east room, turned her head sideways and saw Zhao Mo walking in with the help of Zhao Jun. Her pupils shrank and her lips pursed into a straight line.

Zhao Jun helped him to sit on the kang, lifted his feet and opened the cloth strips to check, and scolded his elder brother angrily: "I told you not to go to the construction site, but you didn't listen! You were exhausted a while ago. What happened! Now my foot hurts again..."

The dirty cloth was untied, revealing Zhao Mo's injured big toe.On the toes, there was a bloody patch, half of the nails had disappeared, and the red flesh was exposed, which looked shocking.

The cloth strip stuck to the meat, and as soon as it was lifted off, Zhao Mo couldn't help taking a breath, and made a "hissing" sound from his mouth.Zhao Jun's eye circles turned red all of a sudden, and he said, "I'll find some wine to wipe you off, and then I'll give you some medicine."

Seeing Zhao Jun stand up and go out, Zhao Mo sat on the kang and called him: "I remember that there is wine that Dad used to drink in the west room cabinet, you can look for it. The leftover anti-inflammatory medicine noodles for Sanwa last time happened to be returned. It works, I put it next to the cold capsule in the medicine box."

"Understood." Zhao Jun's voice came from outside the door curtain, faintly crying.

Sanwa, who was originally sitting in the kang, crawled to Zhao Mo's side at some point, poking her head out, staring intently at Zhao Mo's injured toe.Because his face was downcast, Zhao Mo couldn't see the expression on his face.

Zhao Mo was afraid that the bloody wound would frighten Sanwa, so he quickly lowered his legs and reached out to hug him, pressed his little head to his shoulder, patted his back lightly with his hand, and coaxed softly: "Sanba, be good! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let's not watch it. Big brother is holding you, and we will have dinner when your second brother comes over."

Sanwa lay in his arms without saying a word, her stiff little face showed no expression, but was faintly bewildered.But what flashed in his slightly lowered eyes was a fierce and bloodthirsty light.

Zhao Jun soon came over with a bottle of liquor and a pack of medicine.Seeing Zhao Mo holding the third child in his arms, with his feet drooping on the edge of the kang, he snorted out his nose and said angrily, "Don't hold him, put your feet on the kang quickly, I'll give you medicine. "

Zhao Mo, who always felt that he was unreasonable and weak, sneered, had no choice but to put the third baby on the kang, then turned his back, blocked the third baby's sight with his body, and lifted his feet onto the kang.

"It's all like this and you said it's okay!" Zhao Jun wiped the wound carefully with a clean cloth, and muttered in his mouth, "What did you do to smash it like this? Half of your fingernails are gone..."

Before the medicine was ready, his tears were falling straight down, and while sniffing his nose, he continued to sprinkle anti-inflammatory powder on the missing part of his toe.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Mo felt uncomfortable. The wound didn't feel any pain yet, but his heart felt like it was being squeezed.He touched the lowered head of his second brother, and lowered his voice: "It looks scary, but it's really not a big deal, and it doesn't hurt. It's not as painful as when you have chilblains on your hands and feet in winter! It will look comparable Now the place where this little lump lacks meat is still scary, and you haven’t even cried yet. Stop crying now, you’ll lose the golden peas even when you’re a young man!”

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but Zhao Jun, who was trying to hold back his tears, couldn't help it any longer, and sobbed loudly.It wasn't until the medicine was finished and his toes were wrapped in clean cloth again that his crying stopped.
