Rebirth 05, starting from never dusting

The day after tomorrow morning, while the weather was not yet hot, Zhang Yi and Xu Ying drove out separately.

Xu Ying went to work at the company, and Zhang Yi went to his second uncle's house in the village to pick up Zhang Tao.

When Zhang Yi arrived at his second uncle's house, he heard his second uncle yelling loudly in the yard before he even entered the door.

"You idiot, it's already so late and you're still not up!"

Second Aunt complained: "Why are you yelling so early in the morning? You too, the child finally has his summer vacation, but you don't let him have a rest and instead arrange an internship for him. How can you be so cruel!"

The second uncle retorted: "What's wrong with me? Is it wrong to arrange for him to go for internship? I am doing this for his own good!"

"Take advantage of summer and winter vacations to get involved in construction sites early, so that you will be more competitive than others when you graduate and be able to find a better construction company!"

Second Auntie was dissatisfied and said, "The child has just finished his freshman year and it's still a long way to go before graduation. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You...what do you know? Get out of the way. Xiaoyi is coming to pick him up."

"Mr. Zhang, are you really going to send your child to the construction site today?"

"I just said, I'm doing this for his own good!"

"What the hell, are there any good people on the construction site? You are kicking the child into the fire pit!"

"Fuck!" Second Uncle stomped his feet in anger.

Zhang Yi stood outside the courtyard gate awkwardly, not knowing whether to go in or retreat.

Anyway, I'm speechless.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yi returned to the car, took out his phone and called his second uncle.

"Uncle, I have something to do. I'll be there later."

"It's okay. Lao Hong is a very righteous man. Don't worry. Xiao Tao will go there to train for a month. Not only will he learn something, but he will also gain weight. Yes, the food on the construction site is very nourishing!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yi drove to the village supermarket, bought two boxes of milk, a box of Cisheng Small Gourd Wine, and bought a few big watermelons at the entrance of the village, and then went to Zhang Teng's house.

"Uncle, Aunt."

"Oh, Xiaoyi is here!" Zhang Teng's father heard the noise, came out and saw Zhang Yi carrying things left and right, and hurried over to help.

"Come on, what else do you want to bring?"

After two trips back and forth, I finally put all the things into the house.

"Brother Teng is busy at the construction site and has no time to come back. I just happened to go back to the village to do some work and came to see you." Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Where's Auntie?"

Zhang Teng's father boiled water and made tea while saying, "Let's go water the fields. The weather is too dry this year. If we don't water the corn fields, they will wilt."

It's the first dog days of summer, with temperatures above 35 or 36 degrees every day. It hasn't rained for more than a month, and if the fields are not watered, the corn harvest will indeed be affected.

Zhang Yi still remembers that when he was a child, he would be dragged by his mother to the fields to water corn during summer vacation.

The scorching sun was shining directly on my head. My mother was wearing a straw hat and rain boots, and was working in the field with a shovel.

He hid in the shade of the engine room. When he heard his mother shout "Turn on the power", he ran into the engine room and pushed the switch on tiptoe.

When he heard his mother shout "power outage", he ran in and pulled down the switch.

Later, when I went to high school, I never did farm work again because of my heavy academic workload.

When I think of these, I am flooded with memories.

Zhang Yi played at Zhang Teng's house for more than an hour and chatted with Zhang Teng's father for a long time, mostly about family matters and some village gossip.

After drinking half a pot of tea and eating two pieces of watermelon, I felt that my second uncle had almost dealt with the matter, so I said goodbye and left.

Sure enough, when I arrived at my second uncle's house again, there was no quarreling in the yard.

Zhang Yi was holding a watermelon and shouted as he walked in, "Second Uncle, I'm here."

"Xiaoyi, are you done with your work? Well, why are you bringing watermelons? Our family planted a lot this year. You can bring a few back to try later." The second uncle had a smile on his face.

"Something happened temporarily and he was delayed. Where is Xiao Tao?" said Zhang Yi.

The second uncle sighed and said, "He's packing things in the house."

Zhang Yi looked over and didn't see his second aunt.

I guess the couple had a fight and Second Aunt was so angry that she went out to visit neighbors.

Zhang Tao was wearing big shorts and was packing his luggage with his bare chest. From the reluctant expression on his face, it was clear that he did not want to go for the internship.

"Don't bring too many clothes, just bring two more pairs of shoes," Zhang Yi reminded.

On the construction site, I rarely wear other clothes except work clothes. But I run around the site every day, so it’s true that my shoes are quite worn out.

"Brother Yi, can I bring my computer with me?" Zhang Tao asked innocently.

Zhang Yi said with mixed feelings: "The construction site is quite dusty and crowded, so try not to bring it."

"I asked you to go to the construction site to study, not to play games!" Uncle gasped in anger.

He was almost furious with his wife and son.

Each and every one of them makes me worry, alas!

"Uncle, calm down. Xiao Tao is still in school. It's his first time going out so he has little experience. I was almost in the same situation when I first went to the construction site." Zhang Yi hurriedly comforted him.

The second uncle smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go have some tea first." Then he changed his tone to a fierce one and said to his son, "Hurry up and pack up!"

In the room, the second uncle kept saying nice things, saying that Xiao Tao was ignorant and had never suffered hardship since childhood, and his face was full of worry.

As he listened, Zhang Yi also sighed.

Pity the parents of the world.

"Uncle, the child will have to take this step sooner or later. It is a good thing to suffer a little in society in advance. At least he can cherish his time in school."

"I thought so too. He played games day and night during the winter vacation. I was really worried that he would waste time at school, so I insisted on letting him go to the construction site to suffer a little this time!"

I didn't realize that my second uncle also had good intentions.

"How about this, let's go to the grassroots of the construction site to train for two days."

Zhang Yi thought about it and said, "If Xiao Tao can bear it, then he can continue to train at the grassroots level for a month. He can really learn something at the grassroots level."

"If he can't handle it, I'll arrange for him to go to the Municipal Third Construction Group. My classmate is a project manager there, but once you start working in the management level, you don't know anything and it's easy to be cheated."

"It's better to go to the grassroots level. At least you can broaden your horizons." said my second uncle.

In fact, he was quite worried that he might not learn anything during the one-month internship.

He didn't expect his son to learn much, he just hoped that he could understand the hardship of making money and study hard in the future.

Besides, my second uncle also knows that Zhang Yi is very reliable and capable. If it were someone else, he probably wouldn’t give him so many internship opportunities.

"Brother Yi, I want to go to the Municipal Third Construction Group for internship..."

However, it was Zhang Tao who heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

After all, he is a civil engineering undergraduate student. He will have to work in a management position after graduation. Doing odd jobs at a construction site is no different from moving bricks. It's so embarrassing!

But Zhang Tao had just said half of his words when he saw his father taking off his shoes and running out in a hurry with his luggage.

"I won't go to Sanjian anymore. Why don't I just go to the construction site?"

"Damn it, you have been spoiled by this bad habit since you were a child!" The second uncle put on his shoes and said to Zhang Yi, "Xiao Yi, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Why don't you come with us to take a look?" Zhang Yi was a little surprised.

"Why go and see? We've given him the money, let him make his own way!" When my second uncle said these words, he felt a little reluctant.

Don’t think that he originally wanted his son to study civil engineering because Hong Sihai drove an Audi and Zhang Yi made a lot of money to buy a house.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that Zhang Tao was too introverted. If he didn't work on the construction site as early as possible, he would not have any future after graduation.

Zhang Yi was a very introverted child back then, but he changed drastically after working at the construction site for two years. That's why Zhang Yi was determined to let his son go out into society early and spend three years working in the construction site.

I don't expect Zhang Tao to be as successful as Zhang Yi or Hong Sihai, but at least he can make some decent living.
