Rebirth Delay

After pondering over and over again, Shi Yan still couldn't think of what five yuan could do.Fortunately, I tied my pockets and went around the surrounding garbage dumps a few more times, picking up two or three wine bottles.Most importantly, Xu Ze was not seen.

This made the time delay somewhat worried, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.He was naturally worried about not finding Xu Ze, but he was also afraid that before he earned enough money, he would have to face Xu Ze who was seriously ill. Watching Xu Ze suffer again would make him collapse.

He didn't know where Xu Ze was at the moment.Maybe he suffered there too, but relying on his strength, he couldn't find him, because Xu Ze was not from their town at all.But with his current strength and financial resources, he couldn't find people from other places.What's more, he didn't even have a destination to refer to.

He was anxious, but powerless, which made him toss and turn in his humble little bed, unable to sleep all night.

In the early morning of the next day, he took a cold bath in the water of the small river, and the cold wind blew, which made him grin his teeth, and he woke up from his sleepiness.First, I walked around the village with a bag on my back. I didn't see a person lying beside a garbage dump, so I walked around the village with peace of mind.

Before he had gone far, he saw a man wearing an orange helmet and carrying a shovel walking towards this side. Shi Yan looked at it carefully for a while, then recognized him, smiled, and walked over to say hello: "Second brother, where are you going?"

The second brother's name is Guan Jun, and he is the son of an old man who lives near Shi Yan's shabby house.The old man had no children when he was young, but he didn't expect that this child would follow him as he got older.Our great China has always been dominated by patriarchal thinking, and the old man is naturally enviable.The old man also has some ideas about family and country, and the four sons came one by one according to the words "strengthening the army and enriching the people". This youngest brother is the one who gets along best.He is a mess, but he is very righteous.

It is also one of the few young friends with time delay.

They say they are friends, but they are still a generation behind.Shi Yan is 13 years old now, and the younger brother is 28.

"Yo, Shi Yan, why don't you live in your little shabby house, and live in mine." The second brother smiled while grabbing Shi Yan's shoulder, and greeted him enthusiastically, "I told you earlier , you can’t live in that kind of place. When summer comes, won’t a heavy rain wash you down?”

Shi Yan shook his head and smiled, "No, it's time for you to marry a second sister-in-law. Didn't I make trouble with the past? I'm thinking about earning some money these days, if you have connections, you can help me think about it."

"Make money?" The second brother glanced at Shi Yan's small body, and said with some contempt, "You're still making money?"

Shi Yan has suffered from malnutrition in the past two years, and his stature has grown rapidly, but his complexion is even more sallow, and his body looks like a thin ribs. Most of the money in the countryside is done by doing coolies. He is really not very convincing.

"Where are you going with the shovel?" Shi Yan ignored his contempt and asked curiously.

The younger brother said casually: "Sun Chen and his family are building a new house, and they hired bricklayers to build three big tile-roofed houses. Let me tell you, girls nowadays are really difficult to marry. If you don't build a house, you won't get married. Fortunately, Sun Chen's family has a little money. If you want to let me go, I won’t marry such a woman! What kind of virtue, do you marry a person or marry a house?!”

Time delay couldn't help but smile.I thought that if you were born a few years later, it would be more than just three big tile-roofed houses.

But after hearing what the little second brother said, Shi Yan's thoughts changed, "Little second brother, take me with you."

"Why?"

"I'll go build the wall with you, okay?" Shi Yan asked.

"What, do you know how to go?" The second brother laughed when he heard his tentative intentions.

"I don't know how to learn, you take me with you, I don't need wages." Shi Yan said quickly.Even if you can learn a skill, there are always people in and outside the village who want to build a latrine or a pigsty or something.

The second brother thought for a while and said, "You really don't want wages?"

Shi Yan nodded again and again, his eyes shining.It seems that this matter really has a door.

"All right, come with me." The second brother said cheerfully.

Shi Yan was overjoyed, and quickly thanked him. The second brother patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What's the matter, I'm your buddy, I'm doing business, don't worry."

After walking a few steps, Shi Yan stopped in his tracks, told the second brother to wait, and ran to a small shop by the side of the road to buy two packs of red plums, and then ran out. She smiled sheepishly, "I only have five yuan on me, which is enough to buy two packs."

The little second brother was slightly amazed, at such a young age, he knew that asking someone to do something requires giving a gift, but it was really... Immediately, his heart was sour and he couldn't tell what it was like, but he just patted Shi Yan on the shoulder like a brother, hugged the person and went Sun Chen's home.

In fact, this village is called Sunjiacun, and the Sun family is the common surname in the village.Sun Chen's family is also considered rich in Sun's surname, which is mainly due to the fact that Sun Chen's father is the principal of a private elementary school in the village.At any rate, there are nearly 600 people in the first to fifth grades, and there are still a lot of money.

Sun Chen's parents' house had three big tile-roofed houses, and Sun Chen's first three older sisters were all married off, so he was the only kid left, so he was left to torment.There are only two families in the row of Sun Chen's parents' house. On the left is a family named Si who moved in later, and on the right is a sunken lowland. Level the lowlands and lay the foundations.

When the time delay came, the foundation was almost done, and the foundation of the bottom layer of the wall was almost done.

The second brother took him to meet the foreman and told him what he wanted, Shi Yan hurriedly passed the cigarette over.The foreman took the cigarette and didn't say anything else. He just said that he should wear a hard hat and pay attention to safety, and then organized the workers to work again.

The second brother brought Shi Yan to meet Sun Chen again, and Sun Chen and the second brother had a good relationship, so he smiled and asked Shi Yan to come over for dinner during the wedding banquet, and he agreed.

Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly, Shi Yan was naturally very happy.There is no such thing as child labor in the countryside. If you are really underage, you will not be allowed to work, and children without parents and mothers will not be able to live long ago.But Shi Yan still didn't expect that both the foreman and the owner could agree, wouldn't this be equivalent to giving him a job?

To put aside his previous life, he couldn't think of so much, and he didn't have the guts, and it was even more impossible to deliberately buy cigarettes to connect people, so he could only pick up junk and eat.

So Shi Yan followed the younger brother to do it later.The project is scheduled to require 13 people, and it will be completed in about ten days. Each person will be paid [-] yuan per day.Most of these twenty people are from the same village, so it is convenient to go back and forth.Time delay can be regarded as a big deal, because he is a fellow countryman, so the Sun's family packs lunch.

Shi Yan originally thought that building walls would be easy, but it took him two or three days to figure it out.Including a red brick hanging from a thin rope on the wall, the wall line and the measuring hammer, the folding rule, the tape measure, and the square trowel used for plastering, I am familiar with it.He fumbled for a while even waving a shovel to put the mortar on the shelf, causing large and small blisters on the palms of his fingers.The bubble was worn out again, and water flowed out, and it hurt uncomfortably to hold anything.The little second brother would come to greet him from time to time, but Shi Yan was used to it.Compared with some training received in the previous life, this kind of pain is nothing.

Seeing that Shi Yan didn't talk too much, he just kept his head down and worked hard. Although his physical strength was not as good as that of the adults, he never took a rest.The men who were originally indifferent to Shi Yan were relieved, and they were not stingy with a smile and a few compliments when eating, and even picked out the few pieces of meat from the meal and put them in Shi Yan's bowl.Looking at it, these middle-aged people probably thought of their own children.At about the same age, this life is completely different.

Delay is nice.Ever since he intentionally let go of the hatred that was pressing on his chest, and started to imagine a bright future with Xu Ze, he would fall into a state of extreme excitement with endless energy and fearlessness.In this, the people who began to show friendliness naturally contributed a lot.

When he returned home at night, Shi Yan felt that his hands were burning, as if they were unevenly placed on the fire, and the burn was uncomfortable.He simply sat by the small river and plunged his hands into the icy water, only then did he feel relieved.

It wasn't until his hands were frozen and he didn't feel anything anymore that Shi Yan stood up straight by beating his waist that had been bent so badly in the past few days.Although he has been following the wall, he still runs to the garbage dump three times a day to have a look.With the gradual familiarity with the surrounding situation, many forgotten things are gradually recovering.Now he remembered at which garbage dump he picked up Xu Ze, and he also remembered the day when he picked him up.

That day, April 4, was a fine day.

In the second half of the project, the time delay has begun to challenge the limit every day at the beginning, and he has become accustomed to it, especially the work of building walls, and he can also do it proficiently.Because I said no wages are required, there is basically no dispute about whether Shi Yan will work or not. When Shi Yan is working, as long as the second brother is by his side, no one will pay much attention.

On March 3, the girder began.Immediately, the main girders and auxiliary girders were erected smoothly, and then the large straw mats were pressed and solidified, and the grass-mud mixed soil was laid on, and then the blue tiles were stacked one by one, and that was enough.

On March 3, the project entered the final stage.Sun Chen's family paid the wages readily, and the second brother also got 20 yuan.It's just that after getting the money, he insisted on giving half of it to Shi Yan.Time delay has learned the technology, so naturally he dare not accept wages.However, the two pushed each other for nearly 130 minutes, and the younger brother was about to lose his temper, so Shi Yan accepted the 10 yuan embarrassingly.

Although he felt that he deserved it, Shi Yan couldn't help grinning while holding the warm 30 yuan in his hand.No one knows what the 30 yuan means, only he himself knows, which means that he can stop helping those so-called bosses to do those sneaky and harmful things, and he can earn money in a dignified way by his own labor. Remuneration, and then spend it with a little distress but a clear conscience.He can do what Xu Ze wished, not to be rich and powerful, but to just be with him, always be with him, and be together safely forever.

Speaking of which, Sun Chen was really anxious to get married.The house here has just been built, and the eight big pieces over there have been brought in one after another.The wall is painted with white lime, and the red silk and red happy characters are hung and pasted like this, which is really festive and enviable.

I picked a date and said that April 4 in the Gregorian calendar is an auspicious day, so the woman married happily.Sun Chen also specially rented a car to deliver it. The polished public was tied with big red knots. When driving into the village, people followed behind with a smile to watch the excitement.And the one who stopped the driver held hands and refused to let the bride enter the house until she was given a red envelope.

Shi Yan was also pulled over by the younger brother to watch the wedding, seeing Sun Chen getting off the car with the bride in a bright red wedding dress with a hijab on her back, Shi Yan's heart was also burning hot.It would be great if he could give Xu Ze a wedding like this.

Everyone here is watching the excitement, but the kitchen over there is already in chaos.Originally booked eight tables, seeing more and more people there, it seemed that it was not enough, tables and bowls could be borrowed everywhere in the village, but the cook was in trouble.

I saw the bride and groom making noise here, and the cook who couldn’t get in the crowd over there shouted: "Who knows how to cook, come and help! Everyone who cooks today will get red envelopes!"

Subconsciously, Shi Yan raised his hand.

The cook looked at this teenage boy with a pale complexion in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "You know how to cook?"

Without waiting for the time delay to speak, the second brother gave a push from behind and said, "Yes, yes, yes! He will! The dishes he cooks are very delicious. If you don't believe me, ask someone to ask!"

Shi Yan looked at the second brother speechlessly.His skill of cooking is still due to Xu Ze's poor body, and no one except Xu Ze has ever eaten his cooking.

What he said was "extremely delicious"... He couldn't make up for it even if he wanted to.

When the cook heard this, she didn't care about it immediately, and pushed the man into the kitchen impatiently.Shi Yan also got into the kitchen, there were many people in there, and no one knew Shi Yan, but when Shi Yan entered the room and chopped the vegetables on the cutting board, no one said anything more.

When is it, there are hundreds of people waiting to eat outside! !

After working with a group of 40- and [-]-year-old aunts for nearly four hours, the whole person was spinning like a spinning top.Cutting vegetables, frying vegetables, lighting the fire, mixing sauces... Aunts regard the time delay as a panacea, and move it wherever there is free space, and the time delay can be tossed.

When everyone outside was finally satisfied, and the hearth started to keep on fire inside, the little spinning top of Time Delay stopped.When he walked to the door and took a deep breath, Shi Yan decided that he would never go into the kitchen just for money next time. Even if he built a big tile-roofed house for dozens of days, it would be better than hanging out with these old ladies.

Seeing that they just rested, looking at the little Shi Yan's pitiful look, he almost pressed Shi Yan into their drooping breasts for a good caress.

The dizzy Shi Yan had just left the kitchen when Sun Chen came over to give out red envelopes.The cooks took them one by one with a smile on their faces, always saying "a happy marriage for a hundred years, and a precious son soon". Say good things with time delay, but don't give money if you don't say anything.

Shi Yan couldn't think of any good words to respond to the scene for a while, so he could only say dryly, "Happy wedding!"

Unexpectedly, Sun Chen smiled openly, slapped Shi Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Guan Xiaoer is right, he is indeed a good boy, and he will definitely be successful in the future. Come on, brother Sun Chen is happy today, put it away." Red envelope."

Shi Yan almost slapped him, what "good boy"? !Your sister's good boy!

However, holding the bulging red envelope in his hand, Shi Yan was a little surprised. According to his eyesight, his red envelope seemed to be thicker than others...

Sun Chen turned around and went to his daughter's one night, but Shi Yan fell into the hands of the aunt, and started a journey of filling ducks with various leftovers...

After eleven o'clock, the Sun family finally finished their work. Shi Yan went home dizzy and dizzy. When he lay down, he felt the hard red envelope in his pocket, and immediately turned on the wire he had pulled from his second brother's father. The light bulb turned on, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and opened it carefully.Ten yuan, ten yuan... there is actually 40 yuan!

Four hours of busy work is more profitable than building a house for ten days!

Shi Yan was a little dazed, but slowly recalled Sun Chen's words, thinking that it must be the younger brother who communicated with Sun Chen, and Sun Chen realized that it was not easy for him to make a living as a minor, so he used the name of red envelopes to support himself a little Bar.

There was some long-lost emotion in my heart.

After all, 40 yuan is really worth it these days.

Shi Yan clutched the 71 yuan in his chest, feeling very, very at ease.
