Chapter 51
Working
This year's summer was extremely hot, with no rain or wind, and only the furnace-like sun beating the earth stubbornly.
Workers are still working on a construction site in the provincial capital.
In order to avoid the high temperature, the start time of the construction site has been changed from 5 am to 10 am.
Qi Kexin, wearing a safety helmet and overalls, disguised herself as a man and mixed in with the men, pushing a wheelbarrow to transport bricks.
She is using her vacation to work to earn tuition.
She has graduated from high school and applied for the college entrance examination at the Capital College of Pharmacy. She has no doubts about passing the exam.
Because she skipped a grade, she had already graduated from high school and entered college at the age of 14.
However, she is listed as 16 years old in the household registration book.
At this time, her second brother Tiezhu was still in his second year of high school, and Tongzhu, who went to school in the same year as her, had just graduated from junior high school.
The reason why I came out to work was because I didn’t want to burden my parents.
The eldest brother is currently studying in college, and the second brother Tiezhu will be admitted to college next year if nothing unexpected happens. It will be difficult for parents to support three college students at the same time.
Although the family's life has been much better than before in recent years, it is still an ordinary family with more than enough.
The Qi family could have become rich by relying on Qi Kexin's space, but Qi Kexin chose the trickle-down method.
Originally, she wanted to dig some more wild ginseng from the space and sell it to help her parents get rich quickly, but every time she mentioned to her parents that she was going to look for wild ginseng, they immediately stopped her as if they had been bitten by a snake.
They said that their life now is very good, they are well fed, clothed and warm. They said that this is the peaceful and stable life they want.
To them, digging up ginseng and selling it for money is a windfall. Such wealth makes them feel uneasy. They still feel at ease if they make money step by step.
The last time they were trying to make money by selling wild ginseng, they were harassed by the villagers as if they were rich. This has left them with lingering fears.
Qi Ke realized that her parents were just keen on growing vegetables, so she stopped forcing it.
As long as they are happy.
The hardest part of growing vegetables is watering, so she secretly helped her parents with watering.
She diverted spring water from the space to her vegetable field for irrigation at night and withdrew it in the morning. Therefore, their vegetables grew best in the entire rapeseed village.
Their vegetables are fresh, delicious and easy to sell. My parents, Le Dian Dian, grow the vegetables and Le Dian Dian sells the vegetables. They lead a fulfilling and practical life.
She came out to work and told her parents that she would go to the provincial capital to take a foreign language test. She also said that she would be given training before the test and would stay longer.
Otherwise, how could my parents agree?
She took advantage of the time difference and worked two jobs at the same time. After get off work at the construction site, she went to the restaurant to help cook.
The hotel has staff dormitories, which can solve the accommodation problem.
Even working two jobs wouldn't tire her out. The system gave her strength points. Even if she worked two more jobs, it wouldn't consume much of her energy.
She has been working for more than 20 days! She has already earned 4,000 yuan.
Thinking that if I work for a few more days, even my second brother Tiezhu's tuition will be enough, I feel full of motivation.
At this moment, walking in front of Qi Kexin was a big male worker pushing a wheelbarrow.
This person looks like a newbie at first glance.
The car swayed left and right.
Perhaps because she was worried that the male worker would overturn his car, Qi Kexin never took his eyes away.
As she looked at it, she burst into laughter.
This is not a cart being pushed by a person. It is clearly a cart dragging people along. It looks quite funny.
They were walking on a downhill road, and under the influence of inertia, the cart filled with bricks dragged the big male worker swishing away!
Not good! This rhythm is obviously the rhythm of overturning!
Thinking of this, the smile on Qi Kexin's face disappeared.
She put down her wheelbarrow and ran to the man.
"Danger! Get out of the way!! Get out of the way!!!"
Suddenly, urgent shouts came from above.
Looking up, he saw a large crane hoisting bundles of steel bars hovering above the man's head.
However, most of the steel cables binding the steel bars broke at some point.
It only takes a moment for the broken wire rope to be completely disconnected.
It’s so terrible! It’s too late to call the help system.
What's worse is that the male worker has overturned the car and fell to the ground.
His left foot was injured by a brick and he struggled to stand up.
Without any delay and no time to think, Qi Kexin quickly ran over, picked up the man, and quickly escaped with him.
"Snapped!"
There was a muffled sound behind him, and bundles of steel bars from the crane fell to the ground.
The man's car and the bricks were instantly crushed under several tons of steel bars.
The two people sat on the ground in a heap.
I couldn't say a word, I just gasped for air.
After a long time, the man said: "Thank you! If you hadn't helped me, I would have turned into a meat pie now!"
Standard Mandarin, polite tone.
Qi Kexin was stunned for a moment.
The construction workers here don’t talk like that!
They generally have a loud voice.
Qi Kexin couldn't help but look at the man a few more times.
But the man was wearing a helmet and sweating, so she couldn't see clearly.
Just remember that his eyebrows were black and long, standing above his eyes like two swords.
The eyebrows are so pretty!
Qi Kexin read many books, and she remembered one word in the book to describe a handsome man, that is, sword-shaped eyebrows and temples. She felt that this word was the most appropriate to describe the man in front of her!
"You're welcome! Are your feet okay?" She glanced at his feet.
"It's okay! No bones were injured, otherwise I wouldn't be able to run anywhere."
Then asked: "What's your name?"
Qi Kexin hesitated and said: "My name is Lin Hai! What about you? Are you also working to earn tuition?
Lin Hai's name is the pseudonym Qi Kexin reported to the construction site.
The construction site did not accept female workers, so she signed up under a false name, cut her hair short, and pretended to be a boy.
The man did not respond to Qi Kexin's question, but shook his head slightly, and then asked her, "Are you a college entrance examination candidate this year? It doesn't look like it."
He felt that the boy's age did not look like he had graduated from high school.
"Yeah! Yes." Qi Kexin nodded.
"Great! It's not easy in such a hot day!"
The man raised his head and squinted at the blazing sun above his head.
Qi Kexin wiped the sweat from his face, "As long as I think about making 100 yuan a day, I won't feel hot or tired!"
Then she was ready to leave!
Said: "I have to go to work!"
"Yeah! Go ahead! Be safe!"
The man waved his hand and remembered Lin Hai's name carefully.
Then he was ready to leave.
He tried to stand up, but he let out an "ouch" and sat back down.
Although the voice was not loud, Qi Kexin still heard it.
I hurriedly turned around to check his ankle and found that it was swollen.
"You can't leave, I'm going to call someone!" she said.
"Shh!" He made a silent gesture and lowered his voice: "Don't alarm others."
Then he begged her to help him to the gate.
Qi Ke hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't want to help him, but he was worried that his legs would be stretched again.
"It's okay! Come on! Try it!" He stretched out his hand to Qi Kexin and asked Qi Kexin to pull him up.
Qi Kexin then tried to pull him up.
The man gritted his teeth and stood up despite the pain in his feet.
Pretending to be relaxed, he said: "Look! It's okay! I stood up!"
