Make a living

Chapter 44

After several weeks, Qi Yu didn't meet Zheng Haichuan face to face.

He was on duty irregularly, often working thirty to forty hours straight, returning home either at noon or midnight, and every time he opened the door at home, he noticed that the next door was always quiet, as if no one lived there.

Living in an apartment before, Qi Yu never cared who his neighbors were, nor did he care whether there was anyone next door.But now for some reason, he can't help but think about what that idiot is doing.

Sometimes he sees family members of patients who collapse and cry in the hospital, sometimes he passes by sweaty migrant workers, and sometimes he wakes up early in the morning because of indescribable dreams, and there is always a person in his mind.

Are you still traveling to different places to install water and electricity maintenance pipelines?Or have you taken a new job and are busy raising money for surgery?Or feel that this boring city can no longer stay, and plan to seek development in another place?

Qi Yu often pushes his thoughts to the back of his head when he thinks of them. He doesn't know what Zheng Haichuan is busy with, but Zuo Zuo is just earning money to support his family.

Fortunately, from time to time, I could see Zheng Haichuan's little nephew at Sister Hong's downstairs, otherwise Qi Yu would have thought that the two uncles and nephews next door had moved to a cheaper place.

Qi Yu originally thought that his feelings for Zheng Haichuan were just a momentary physical impulse.

Maybe it's because he's been hungry for a long time, or maybe it's because of the frequent encounters between the two of them some time ago that made him want to get distracted. In short, it can't be emotional in the true sense.

In fact, after witnessing the relationship and life of his parents, Qi Yu felt that it was impossible for him to have such an illusory thing as love.

what is love?

Is it hot?Is it blind?Is it hypocritical?Is it paranoid?

Maybe there is tenderness and happiness in it, but most of what he sees is bitterness and pain, this kind of thing will only make people lose their sense of control and be manipulated by others.

Qi Yu saw a sentence in the school library before, saying 'Lifeisonefoolthingafteranotherwhereasloveistwofoolthingsaftereachother'.

He still thinks it makes perfect sense.

Isn't life just one stupid thing after another?

And love, obviously, is two stupid things chasing each other.

He doesn't think he's a fool, and he doesn't want to be one.

However, a person's true inner thoughts are often different from the judgment and rationality of the brain's epidermis.

On the contrary, it is full of madness that its owner can't imagine in daylight.

After waking up again from a chaotic and wild dream, Qi Yu gasped heavily in the dark.

He turned on the air conditioner in the room to calm down his abnormal excitement in the air-conditioning.

Qi Yu couldn't believe it, but the aftertaste of desire still roiling in his mind made him have to look directly at his thoughts hidden in the dark.

The naked body, the nasal sound begging for mercy, the honey-colored arms, the flowing water, the plump chest, the wet grass stems, the sticky overlapping... The pictures appear one after another, almost making Qi Yu think they are real.

Qi Yu's throat rolled, and after a while, he lifted the thin quilt and got out of bed.

The person who always loves cleanliness didn't even wear slippers. He stepped on the cold floor with bare feet and went to the living room to drink a glass of cold water.Then I still felt that it wasn't enough, so I went to the bathroom and adjusted the water temperature much lower than before, and then washed away the dryness and sweat on my body.

By the time I went back to bed, the sky outside had already dawned.

Qi Yu was not in the mood to go back to sleep, so he simply picked up the charged mobile phone next to the bed.

After replying a few messages from the department, Qi Yu opened the video software with his fingers.

Not surprisingly, the first figure that popped up was the protagonist who caused trouble in Qi Yu's dream.

"Hello everyone, today I will show you a bare-handed steel bar!"

"To make beams today, we use 28 steel bars. This 28 doesn't mean a piece of 28 catties, but the diameter and cross-section of this steel bar is 28 mm. Come on, let me show you how thick it is!"

"Fortunately, the foreman is not here today. Come on, I will stand a little farther away to take pictures for you. Don't underestimate this one. It is 9 meters long and weighs 50 kilograms!"

"Usually, two of us carry three or four of them at a time. It takes many trips to finish the day's work. But it's noon now, and my coworkers go to eat first, so I'll move another one. Just go and eat."

"It was also yesterday that a friend said that he wanted to see it, and we will arrange it today!"

"I said, try to satisfy everyone! Hehe, I just hope that everyone will support me a lot, and give me more rewards if you are satisfied!"

"Then I'll start. The phone is on the ground here. Don't worry, it won't be fake."

"I'll try to see if I can carry four at once!"

In the video, a tanned, red and black face is showing its iconic white teeth to the camera.Then there was a slight shake, and the camera was fixed at a place where it could directly capture the construction site.

The young man still wearing the racer-shaped vest trotted to the place where the steel was stacked on the construction site, bent down, and used his dirty work gloves to paw at the pile of steel bars twice, and finally pulled out four thick and long steel bars.

Four, that is two hundred kilograms.

About three times the weight of an adult man.

This sounds like an impossible challenge.

But with a loud roar of "呀——", the four long steel bars were really lifted up by the young man's thick arms.

It drew an arc in the air and landed on his broad shoulders.

It was firmly supported, leaving only the two ends dangling slightly in the air.

The steel bars followed the steps of the figure, and also moved forward in parallel.

And the shoulders that were tense and propped up gradually sank with the step forward step by step.

step.

two steps.

Three steps.

When he was about to step out of the shooting range of the camera, the bent body finally couldn't resist the huge weight, and there were several loud "cracks", and the steel bars fell to the ground.

In the video, there is only an empty space and a series of inaudible panting sounds.

After more than ten or 20 seconds, the person on the edge of the camera stood up again.

He wiped his face, then waved his hand at the phone, still smiling cheerfully.

Because of the distance, the young man could only shout to the camera: "It's too heavy, I can't carry it, this time I can only carry three!"

As he spoke, he bent down again, then straightened up.

This time, he firmly supported three steel bars on his shoulders, measuring 1.1 meters. With his firm steps forward, he moved out of the field of view of the camera.
