intellectual norms

After the night fell completely, Djemaa Djemaa Square ushered in all its vitality, and its day began at night.

Xia Xiaoli saw everything fresh, there were too many people, Qiao Yu protected him with one arm, and told him carefully: "All the jugglers and snake dancers in this square should only look at it with their eyes, don't take pictures, put their phones in the Don’t take it out of the bag, carry it on the front.”

Xia Xiaoli didn't know why, but she obediently obeyed, Qiao Yu said again: "Put your hands in your trouser pockets too, and stay away from those Arab women with dyes in their hands."

ha?It seems that this square is full of pits, Xia Xiaoli puts her hand in again, and Qiao Yu holds her shoulders to watch all kinds of interesting things.

It’s really a land of rivers and lakes with everything, the sound of monkey jugglers beating gongs and drums, jugglers’ singing and dancing, beggars’ cries, and children’s yelling one after another, together with the yelling of barbecue stalls, and the yelling of various vendors. With the smell of camels, spices, and donkeys, for a moment, this thousand-year-old sleepless square gives people the illusion of being in the Thousand and One Nights.

Xia Xiaoli saw with her own eyes many innocent tourists, especially one or two tourists who came out to play alone, who were chased for money because they took pictures, and also saw many girls, who were suddenly grabbed by the Arab woman in robes and squeezed casually After squeezing the paint, he chased after him for money... Xia Xiaoli was dumbfounded. If he came to play alone, he would have been chased out of his money long ago.

A strange flute sounded from the place surrounded by many people watching, and the most popular and terrifying cobra dance on the square began.

Xia Xiaoli couldn't help but want to watch, Qiao Yu went with him, an Arab man in a gray robe was playing a short clarinet, his feet were originally coiled, and the dozing cobra quickly woke up when he heard the sound Come over, stand up one by one, spread their necks into a fan shape, dance regularly with the music, and even swim in a simple formation on the ground.

Applause sounded from all around, and Xia Xiaoli applauded subconsciously. Seeing these snakes felt creepy in her heart, but she couldn't help but want to look at them.

Almost all the onlookers are taking pictures, and some people are using big cameras to take pictures and record videos. The Arabian snake dancer is holding a flute in one hand and holding a straw hat in the other hand to collect money from the onlookers. The cobra cruisingly followed behind his heels, and all the onlookers were frightened, screaming and backing away, while readily taking out money.

The two went to the spice market and countless small leather shops, all of which are special products of this city, but Xia Xiaoli didn't buy anything, he felt that he was very happy just strolling around with Qiao Yu.

Back at the hotel, seeing huge, bright stars on the terrace, Xia Xiaoli sighed, Qiao Yu thought for a while and said, "I should be able to rest for a few days after I've been busy, and then I'll take you to see the brightest stars."

"Wow, where is it?"

"Sahara, you can go to Merzouga first, and enter the desert from there."

Sahara, these three words alone have already made Xia Xiaoli yearn for it. He has already felt that the desert, like the ocean, is a place that can make people feel a kind of "proud" emotion. In such an environment, trivial matters become Gain is no longer important, all cares are washed away by the wind, sand and dust, leaving only the most important and purest emotions.

Both of them were actually very tired. Xia Xiaoli had a long-distance flight, Qiao Yu went from the project site to Casablanca Airport, and then returned to Marrakech. From hands to hugging waist to kissing until the sky is thundering and can't stop...

They did it again, this time slowly, completely different from the one in the car during the day, the patio door was open, the indistinct speech of strangers could be heard from a distance, the laughter from the TV next door, and the vendors downstairs closed their stalls The laughter... all became the background sound of the two panting.

After a while, Xia Xiaoli's tears burst out uncontrollably. Qiao Yu stopped and did not move. He kissed the corners of his eyes and called him "baby". Feeling ashamed, he panted and said, "Don't...stop, I'm not uncomfortable, I, I..." He still couldn't say the word comfortable, he was too ashamed.

How could Qiao Yu not know that the corners of this guy's eyes and lips were red, Qiao Yu knew better than Xia Xiaoli himself what he looked like when he was in love, and he thought about it many times when he didn't meet him. Qiao Yu's face was right in front of her eyes, Qiao Yu liked it so much that she wished she could rub it into her heart.

... When they all stopped, they realized that the surroundings had become silent.

After waking up the next day, Xia Xiaoli followed Qiao Yu back to the project site. Qiao Yu said that Marrakech was the closest city to the project site, but the two of them almost drove for half a day and climbed several mountains to get there.

The construction site during the day is unbelievably hot. The high temperature exceeds 40 degrees every day. The construction site implements humanized management and does not start work during the hottest noon time, but even so, people are always in a state of dehydration.

After Qiao Yu put on the hard hat on the construction site, he quickly entered the working state. The viaduct to be erected between several sections of the valley has already completed 40%, and the current progress is close to his expectation.

He simply arranged for Xia Xiaoli to live with him in the house of the engineering department, and he can stay in the office of the engineering department if he has nothing to do. Everyone here is called Qiao Yu Qiaogong, and even Xia Xiaoli became Xia Gong. Xia Xiaoli was older than him The workers had to familiarize themselves with this new name after calling Xia Gong several times.

Then I thought it sounded good, Xia Gong, this is a professional identity, now Xia Xiaoli is Chen Ke's assistant in Hongda Design Institute, at most, he was called Xia Zhu by an unfamiliar clerk of Party A, and this will turn him into a "Xia Gong", although it was fake and verbal, Xia Xiaoli's heart became beautiful.

I just want it to be true someday.

During the day, it is hot enough to burn people, but at night it is so cold that you need to wear a thick coat. The temperature difference is so large that you can live through the four seasons in one day.

Xia Xiaoli has only been here for a day, but she feels that her body can't take it anymore. Thinking of Qiao Yu's one-year life, it's no wonder that he feels that her boyfriend has lost a lot of weight.

And the identity that he had always longed for but never became——Qiao Yu's assistant, unexpectedly realized here.

He is no longer a ignorant white paper with no professional knowledge. He has worked with Chen Kezheng'er in the design institute for a year. Now he can read drawings and do design assistance, and he is very familiar with various materials.

But Chen Ke hardly did any big projects this year, and there were too many teaching and theoretical research. The only few small projects were designed by him and then left to the on-site engineers to follow up. Xia Xiaoli saved a lot of money Unexpectedly, it just happened to come in handy during the summer vacation with Qiao Yu.

So he went wherever Qiao Yu went when he was working, and Qiao Yu couldn't take care of him when he was busy. Xia Xiaoli even brought a notebook to write down the things he saw that he didn't understand. ask him.

He also took care of some errand work, like a small worker bee during the day, and pinched his boyfriend's legs and beat his back at night. He really became the personal assistant of Engineer Qiao.

During this period of time, he also witnessed the real working environment of people in this industry. Qiao Yu's previous words were not exaggerated. The geographical environment is difficult, the work is complicated and trivial, and he has to constantly argue with the local people. The engineering department has just resolved a conflict with the local area, because the road section under construction coincides with the original section of the old road, and the road and the old viaduct on the road section will be completely covered and rebuilt, resulting in traffic jams during the construction period. This provoked complaints from the local people and even launched a protest. Logically, the local government should have come forward to resolve such a matter.

This was also the reason why Qiao Yu looked exhausted when he went to pick up Xia Xiaoli without closing his eyes for several nights.

Xia Xiaoli feels that what she learned in reality is different from what she learned in school. How to design a bridge is one dimension of complexity, and how to realize it is another dimension of complexity. No link is easy.

Qiao Yu, a well-known designer, still has to face such problems, and there is no such thing as a once-and-for-all solution.

A few days later, Qiao Yu asked him, "Do you regret studying this major now?"

Xia Xiaoli shook her head, the sun on the plateau couldn't tan him, and after a few days he was still clean and white, and said, "I don't regret it, I think it's very meaningful."

It's not all bitterness and tiredness. After Xia Xiaoli got used to this kind of work intensity, she found that she could focus on one thing without any distractions, and her heart was full. Moreover, the sunset every day was extremely spectacular. The sunset was as red as blood, spectacular This is an emotion that is difficult for people who have lived in a modern metropolis for a long time to experience almost divine nature.

Primitive, rough, and so quiet that people only care about the most original things.

At the end of August, he had already been here for a month. He had changed from a fake summer worker to a real summer worker. When it was time to leave, he was really reluctant to part with this status.

The progress of the project has also been progressing slowly within a month. Recently, while waiting for a batch of materials, Qiao Yu took care of the matter at hand, and promised to take her little boyfriend to the desert, and it finally happened at the last moment.

The construction site was originally between Marrakech and Merzouga. Qiao Yu drove directly to Merzouga from here. It was still the large engineering off-road vehicle. For a long time, there was no time to cut her hair. Now Qiao Yu had to drive to Merzouga. The back of his head was casually tied into a bun, and the stubble on his chin was also born. Wearing sunglasses, he looked tough from the inside out.

Xia Xiaoli fell in love with her boyfriend's enthusiasm, and they set off with one car and two backpacks, as if they were wandering.
