After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know who started it first, but serious and Yuan Ling's contact gradually became more frequent.In fact, the two of them are busy with work during the day, that is, they chat casually on WeChat during lunch and dinner, or make an appointment to go for a night run by the lake when they are free at night.

One day it was raining lightly, and the night run was cancelled.Seriously, after get off work, he suddenly didn't want to go home alone, so he told Yuan Ling that he wanted to go to his dormitory.After getting an affirmative answer and asking about the specific location, he rushed to the food stall to pack a few boxes of cooked vegetables and headed straight there.

The dormitory on the construction site is similar to the dormitory he lived in before, with two canopy beds on the left and right walls, two desks in the narrow aisle in the middle, and several buckets and washbasins at the door near the window.It's a bit rough and there are a lot of sundries, but fortunately, it's not so bad that you can't get your feet off it.

Yuan Ling was drinking beer with peanuts around the table with a few workers. When he saw Serious, he greeted him with a smile, and then gave up his seat next to the bed.

The bed was very hard. I guess there was no quilt on it. The folded quilt looked a bit flimsy. There were a few thick books next to the pillow, and the sides were slightly rolled up. The cover of the top book was very prominent. "Building Construction Technology".

Seriously retracting his gaze, he put several boxes in his hands on the table and opened them one by one, and said with a smile, "Good evening, brothers, I am Yuan Ling's good buddy Xiao Yan, Nuo, I happened to buy some cooked vegetables, all of them You can do whatever you want."

"Hehe, then we won't be polite." A brother in his thirties picked up a piece of roast duck, "Look at your clothes, are you from the sales office?"

"Brother has good eyesight! What do you call it?" Seriously took the convenient chopsticks handed over by Yuan Ling, and at the same time heard Yuan Ling whispering in his ear, "There are no more paper cups, why don't you use mine."

"Hey, my name is Lin, Shuangmulin."

"Hello Brother Lin! Come on, let's go!" Seriously picked up the paper cup filled with beer in front of Yuan Ling, touched Brother Lin's, looked up and took a sip.

"Little brother is bold enough! Haha!"

After a glass of wine, Seriously chatted with the workers in Yuan Ling's dormitory.Therefore, no big or small matter can be separated from alcohol.

Everyone is doing work related to the house, so naturally the topic of the house cannot be separated.

"Look at me, I'm in my thirties, and I'm still a fucking bachelor, I just hope to earn more money here, and then I will go back to my hometown and build a small three-story building, and ask for a wife, Have a few babies!" Lin Ge drank a little too much, his face flushed, "This, in this life, just, that's enough!"

"You're so young, do you really want to go back to the countryside? Cough...cough...isn't it good in the city?" An uncle who hadn't said much took the conversation, "cough, cough...no prospect..."

"Old Zhang, are you sick?" Seeing his pale face, Yuan Ling kept coughing.

"I...it's fine...cough...drinking too much." Lao Zhang waved his hand.

It was the first time for Yan Yan to see such hands, which were thinner and more wrinkled than those of his father who had been doing farm work all year round. Then he looked at the thin face that was also weather-beaten, and felt sad for a while.

Brother Lin took another sip of wine, sighed deeply, "Of course the city is nice, but the house is so expensive, I can't afford it in three lifetimes!"

"You can always afford it if you work hard." Lao Zhang took out a photo from under his pillow, "Hey, let me show you my son Shuyang's graduation photo. He just graduated from Soochow University this year. Internship in a big company, I don’t know what kind of software they do, anyway, he said it’s very popular now.” As he spoke, his pale face became radiant.

Seriously took the photo and looked at it together with Yuan Ling. A very young man was wearing a bachelor's uniform and a pair of glasses, looking very gentle.

Taking a peek at Yuan Ling solemnly, he found a moment of sadness in his black eyes.

"I want to work hard for a few more years while I still have some strength, so that Shuyang can buy a house in Sucheng as soon as possible, so I can feel at ease when I have a house..." Lao Zhang continued.

Seriously, he didn't speak. When he lowered his head and picked up the cup to his mouth, he realized that the cup was empty.His arm was lightly pinched, he raised his head slightly, and met Yuan Ling's gaze, which was like a fluffy brush, brushing his whole body comfortably and easily.

When I came out of Yuan Ling's dormitory, it was still raining.The autumn rain in Sioux City is like this, lingering and endless.

"Did you ride the e-Donkey? I'll take you back. Seeing that you drank so much just now, it's dangerous to drive drunk." Yuan Ling looked serious.

"Tsk, it's drunk driving at most." Seriously looking out, he looked out at the orange drizzle under the dim light, "Let's leave the eMule at work, let's take a walk back."

Neither brought an umbrella.

The rain was floating on his face, which was a little hot from drinking, and it was cool and pleasant.

There were no cars or pedestrians on the road, only the dim yellow light of the street lamps.

Because they were relatively close, the backs of their hands brushed lightly from time to time, and they walked a little faster without any trace of seriousness, and after a while, the two of them stood side by side again.

Qiu Yu, who was annoying at first, doesn't seem to be so annoying anymore.

Following Yuan Ling's sneak photo last time, Wang Tingting once again brought the latest developments on the construction site.At that time, Seriously led a young couple who came to see the house into the sales office, warmly entertained them to sit down, and prepared to go to the front desk to get the brochure.

"Hey, I just saw a lot of people around the construction site, it seems that something happened..." Wang Tingting whispered to the girl next to her.

The hand that was stretched out solemnly hung in the air, and there was no next move for a long time.The rabbit that I hadn't seen for a long time jumped out again, whizzing like an arrow. This time the little rabbit grew into a big rabbit, and my heart trembled with pain.

"Brother Wei," Seriously pulled Li Wei who was passing by, and pointed in the direction of the young couple, "I'll leave that couple to you. My stomach hurts and I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet." After speaking, he disappeared at the gate.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, when did Seriousness become so generous and take the initiative to let the client?Also, isn't the toilet inside the sales office? What does it mean to run outside?

He ran into the construction site in one breath, and saw a group of people surrounded by him from a distance.Seriously took a deep breath, then let it out heavily, and slowly walked towards the crowd.

Standing on the periphery of the crowd, he took another deep breath, suppressed the big rabbit in his heart desperately, pushed aside the crowd seriously and squeezed in.

In the center of the crowd, Lao Zhang was lying on the ground with his eyes half-closed and blood on his legs. Yuan Ling was squatting beside him, talking to a foreman, apparently telling the story of the accident.

After the big rabbit disappeared again, he walked seriously to Yuan Ling, squatted down, and lightly touched his shoulder with his hand.Yuan Ling glanced at him, smiled slightly, and continued talking to the foreman.

In fact, the accident was not as serious as the legend said.

Lao Zhang was transporting cement in the aisle on the second floor, when he suddenly swayed, the wheelbarrow carrying cement overturned, and Lao Zhang did not let go in time, and fell out.Seriously, he stretched out his hand to pull it, but the cement truck had too much inertia, and he followed suit.He grabbed a scaffolding just in time to keep from falling.Unfortunately, Lao Zhang fell down, but fortunately he was cushioned by Seriously, his head missed the ground and his leg was injured.

"Old Zhang, can it still work? Go to the hospital to see..." the foreman said.

Lao Zhang struggled to sit up and opened his eyes, "I, I'm fine, the blood on my leg will stop after a while."

"What are you talking about? Maybe it's broken!" The foreman's face was not very good.

"Yes, Lao Zhang, it's better to go to the hospital for an examination. Even if it's just bleeding, it needs to be bandaged." Yuan Ling said, "I'll accompany you."

"Don't worry about medical expenses, I will try my best to help you pay for it." The foreman continued.

Lao Zhang didn't say anything, just lowered his head and panted.

"I'll call a car!" Standing up solemnly, he ran out onto the road.

Yuan Ling carried Lao Zhang on his back and followed him out.The three of them got into the taxi and went straight to the nearest City Affiliated Hospital.

Going to the emergency room, queuing up to pay the bills, taking radiographs, getting medicines, going through hospital procedures...the two ran upstairs and downstairs in a tacit understanding, and finally put Lao Zhang into the ward.

High fever, long-term anemia, scratches on his left leg, and fractures, Lao Zhang was lying quietly on the hospital bed with his eyes closed and a plaster cast on.

He looked at him seriously for a while, then turned around and whispered to Yuan Ling, "Give Lao Zhang a rest, I'll accompany you to register again."

"Why register?" Yuan Ling was puzzled.

Seriously without speaking, he pulled Yuan Ling's blood-stained right arm and shook it gently.

"...Okay, let's go."

A ten-centimeter-long gash was drawn on the right forearm. Yuan Ling frowned when the stitches were stitched, and it disappeared quickly.

"From now on, this will be the testimony of your brave deeds, and it will be with you forever." Staring at the dense stitches on Yuan Ling's arm, he sighed seriously and said coolly.

"It's good to be brave, to always prove my greatness." Yuan Ling said with a smile.

The two stayed until five o'clock in the afternoon, and Lao Zhang finally finished three bottles of intravenous drip, and slowly woke up, looking much more refreshed.

"Old Zhang, why don't you call your son and ask him to come over?" Seriously took out the phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Lao Zhang, "The doctor said that you should stay in the hospital for observation for at least one night. It would be better to have a family member accompany you to the bed." .”

Lao Zhang took the phone slowly, with a hesitant look on his face, "Shuyang is usually very busy at work, and he has to work overtime at night, will this delay his time?"

"You are his father, you were injured because he was able to buy a house, and he came to take care of it, is there a problem?" Suddenly, an unknown fire burst out in the solemn heart.

"Old Zhang, let's call, at least let him know about your situation." Yuan Ling hooked his fingers seriously, "And you are all in the same city, not out of town or anything."

Lao Zhang hesitated for a while, and finally dialed the number.

Yuan Ling pulled his serious wrist and left the ward, "Call Lao Zhang, let's go eat something and pack it for him."

The two of them were in the alley next to the First Attached Courtyard, each ate a bowl of rice, and then found a porridge shop to pack a piece of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and a few cakes.

The door of the ward was ajar, and the two stood at the door and looked over. There was a young man wearing glasses sitting in front of Lao Zhang's bed, who should be his son Zhang Shuyang.

Then I heard this conversation.

"Dad, this is considered a work-related injury. Do you have any medical expenses?"

"Actually, I mainly made it myself. I don't know if I will report it or not."

"You happened on the construction site. They can't shirk their responsibility. You have to insist on asking for it. If it doesn't work, make a fuss."

"Hey, I see... I'll try my best."

"By the way, can you ask Mom to come to Sucheng together? It's easy to find a job that suits her here, and any job is better than her farming at home."

"Your mother is coming here, what about your grandma? Who will take care of her?"

"Can't grandma take care of herself? She's not very old."

"She's 82 this year..."

"Forget it, let me just mention it casually. You don't know how much the house price has risen now. If you can buy it early, you will make money."

"I gave you all the money every month... I will look for more work after I recover, and try to earn more."

The nameless fire in Serious's heart was burning hotter and hotter, and he felt that he was about to be scorched.

"I won't go in, I'm afraid I can't help but hit someone." He handed the lunch box to Yuan Ling, then sat down on the bench in the corridor, "I'll wait for you here."

"Okay, then sit down for a while, I'll be out soon." Yuan Ling looked at him, took the lunch box and opened the door to enter the ward.

Not long after, Yuan Ling came out, "Let's go, I've already told Lao Zhang. His son will stay in bed tonight."

"En." He answered solemnly and muffledly, and followed Yuan Ling out of the hospital.
