The western suburbs of Bucheon City have been designated as a development zone by the government.

I saw that it was dusty here, and the big cart pulling the soil was running desperately, feeling like entering and leaving no one's land. The roar of the mixer on the construction site makes people feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

The rows of freshly built migrant workers' houses were covered with dirty clothes, and in the corner of the wall next to the door, the shoes were crooked, exuding an unpleasant smell of feet.

Xia Jianyi wandered here all afternoon, and he had heard from the people of the village that it was easier to find a job in this kind of place, but he was not sure if he would be able to do it himself. After an afternoon of observation, he saw what it means to be tired and suffering of migrant workers.

At this time, it was completely dark, and the migrant workers who had gone to work on the construction site rushed into their respective houses shouting, then picked up their lunch boxes, and ran towards the easternmost room of the simple house.

Xia Jian stood stupidly, feeling like a transparent person, and no one felt his existence.

I don't know what these people eat at night, but they eat with relish, as if the world's delicacies are nothing more than that. Under the influence of this atmosphere, Xia Jian's stomach kept screaming, and he couldn't bear it.

Hunger hit his will again and again, Xia Jian, who had never suffered this kind of sin, now had the heart to die.

"Young man, is there something you've been walking around here all afternoon?" A woman's voice came from behind Xia Jian.

Xia Jian, who was hungry, ate this sound, like a dying person grasping a life-saving straw. He turned around suddenly, and under the light behind him, there was a woman in her thirties, not tall or short, with sun-tanned skin and a pair of well-dressed facial features, the woman was quite good-looking.

In fact, whether a woman looks good or bad, now for Xia Jian, he has no heart to study it at all.

"Sister, do you want a small job here? I can work" Xia Jian hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a hurried tone.

The woman was stunned, and after looking Xia Jian up and down, she exclaimed in surprise: "Aren't you a strong classmate, isn't it called Xia Hejian?" ”

Xia Jian stood closer and saw that the woman in front of him was none other than Cuilian, the sister of his classmate Liu Qiang. Liu Qiang is Xia Jian's classmate in the first year of high school, his family lives in the town, every time Xia Jian goes home, he has to go to his house with Liu Qiang to drink some water before leaving, and a few times he met Cuilian who went back to his parents' house.

"Silly boy, I don't even know my sister anymore, haven't you eaten yet? Let's talk about anything else after eating! "It's still Sister Cuilian back then, when the words arrived, she took Xia Jian's hand and walked straight towards the gang.

A young man, held by a woman, passed in front of everyone, Xia Jian was a little embarrassed. But fortunately, everyone only cares about eating, and no one cares about them.

In the big iron pot in the room, there is still a little noodles left. Xia Jian was indeed hungry, he was unequivocal, and without waiting for Sister Cuilian to serve the second bowl, his first bowl was already facing the sky. When he finished eating the last few noodles in the pot, Xia Jian felt a little fuller in his stomach.

"Are you not full?" Sister Cuilian looked at Xia Jian's reluctant appearance when he put the bowl, and asked in a low voice.

Xia Jian smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sister full" Xia Jian didn't eat a lot, he ate three bowls in a row, which was the amount of three workers, and Xia Jian only learned about it later.

After settling his stomach, Xia Jiancai looked at the room, a big pot table, a panel table, and then a few bags of potatoes, and in the corner of the wall, there was a single bed supported by wooden boards.

"Come and sit here and see how hungry you are, what the hell is going on?" Sister Cuilian let Xia Jian sit on the wooden bed in the corner. Xia Jian realized that he had been squatting next to the stove since he entered the door.

Sister Cuilian's concern struck the sourness in Xia Jian's heart, and a motherly warmth hit his heart, everything that has happened these days can finally be confided. Tears swirled in his eyes, Xia Jian still forced it down, men don't flick when they have tears, and his father Xia Zecheng has always taught himself like this.

That's where it is! encountered such a little difficulty, it became like this, it is better to go back to Xiping Village to be a gangster, Xia Jian kept cheering himself, he paused for a while, adjusted his thoughts, and said the purpose of his coming here to lose weight, the central meaning is that he wants to work here.

After listening to Xia Jian, Sister Cuilian frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Okay, yes, but the work here is tiring, and the boss has a bad temper, you have to be mentally prepared, it's not difficult to eat mixed rice, but I don't know if I can make money, because I just came."

"Stinky! What do you mean badly about me? The closed door of the room was slammed open, and a middle-aged man in his forties stood at the door in the smell of alcohol, the man was tall and thin, with a black and red face, but a pair of small eyes were very attentive.

Sister Cuilian hurriedly stood up, and whispered a little scared: "Boss Li, I didn't say anything bad about you, it's just that my fellow wants to work here with you, and I told him to do things with more snacks."

Syllable! Boss Li threw it away, and the white plastic bag in his hand fell on the panel, revealing two chicken legs at the mouth of the bag. Xia Jian glanced at it, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and thought to himself, this boss is different, if he eats fragrant and drinks spicy food, the workers can only eat this potato and cook noodles.

"Okay! I happen to be short of manpower here, so I will start work tomorrow, including food and accommodation, 10 yuan a day, but everyone calls me Li Papi in private, which you should understand. There is also the need to do more things and talk less, of course, I will take extra care of Liu Cuilian's fellow countrymen" Li Papi said, winking at Sister Cuilian, Sister Cuilian lowered her head a little embarrassed, what do you mean? Xia Jian looked a little confused.

The food is solved, and the next thing is to live, Xia Jian was assigned to live in the shed next to the house. A large shop with more than a dozen people living there. When Xia Jian went in, everyone was asleep, and the snoring was earth-shattering, and it seemed that he was really tired.

Leaning on the innermost, because it is too far away from the door, it may be because it is not ventilated and hot, no one sleeps, and Xia Jian sleeps there. This shop is indeed very simple, except for a few wooden planks put together, it is a little difficult to find a few straw stalks on it, this Li Papi seems that everyone is not wrong about him.

Xia Jian slept on the bare bed, listening to the snoring sound one after another, he couldn't sleep, these days of experience made him realize that his career as a gangster was completely over, and if he wanted to survive in this big city, he could only work hard for the time being.

In the room next door, following the continuous sound of Li Peeling's frolicking, Xia Jian heard it in his ears, and he was extremely disgusted. Just now, Sister Cuilian wanted to give her quilt to Xia Jiangai, but she was stopped by this Li Pickpocket, saying that young people are so angry that they don't need to cover the quilt when they sleep on a hot day.

Fuck your uncle, this hard bed board, there is nothing on it, you can try it yourself, Xia Jian can't wait to dig out Li Papi's ancestors and scold them together.

"What are you afraid of?" Xia Jian sat up in shock by the sound next door, fortunately, the other workers slept like dead pigs, and they all slept so sweetly, even if the cannon was pulled in, they might not be able to wake up.

Xia Jian pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and no one next door spoke, but there were a few creaks and creaks of the bed boards. Xia Jian was puzzled, he felt that there was something wrong with Sister Cuilian and this Li Papi, but for him, a hairy boy who was not deeply involved in the world, he still couldn't figure out what problems could be between them.

He remembered that Sister Cuilian's in-laws seemed to be in the neighboring village of Pingyang Town, listening to Liu Qiang, they both had two children, and it stands to reason that the relationship between husband and wife was not bad, Xia Jian closed his eyes and slowly recalled the time he spent with Liu Qiang in the past.

They had a very good relationship in the first year of high school, but as soon as they entered the second year of high school, they were separated, there was less contact, and the relationship slowly faded.

As soon as he thought of Cai Li, Xia Jian was energetic, this woman is really good, she is good anywhere, if you can sleep with her in her arms, the world will be better. Xia Jianming knew that this was a fantasy, but he couldn't control himself, and slowly he fell asleep.
