Two hundred and twenty ninth chapter down and out
Now that I am desperate, this place is simply unfamiliar to Du Feng. It is best to have a job to solve the problem of food and clothing.
The young noodle shop owner winked at the boss's wife and said angrily: "What can anyone do that job? How tired! Besides, that guy is just a neighbor of my family and his relationship is not very good."
Du Feng smiled and said, "It's okay! Anyway, it's time to this point, so I'm not afraid of doing my best."
The shop owner said with a smile: "It's really not easy to work on the construction site. It's windy in summer and cold wind in winter. It's not only tiring, but also very hard!"
Du Feng nodded: "Of course I know this. But you don't have to worry too much. I didn't say I'd do it for the rest of my life, right? I just wanted to find a place to stay for two days for the time being, maybe I'll stop doing it at any time!"
The shop owner patted his chest and abdomen and smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter how many days you work, your money will definitely not be missing. The foreman is my neighbor!"
As the three of them were talking, a medium-sized man with a greasy hair came in from outside the store. He seemed to be in his thirties, about 1.75 meters tall, with a bumpy face, but his chin was very clean, and he seemed to have worked hard on his beard. He looked energetic, but he always gave people a feeling of discomfort. It seemed like a man digging man turned into a civil servant, which was awkward no matter how he looked.
"My brother and sister, let's have a few eggs!" As soon as he walked in, he shouted at the top of his voice, walked straight to the table next to Du Feng and sat down.
The proprietress quickly put four eggs for him and placed them in front of him. The guy had a terrible smile on his face. He picked up an egg and stuffed it into his mouth, only supporting his big mouth with a roundness.
While Du Feng looked at him, he was also looking at Du Feng. His four eyes were facing each other, and the man immediately burst into laughter.
"Brother, why are you laughing at?" the shop owner asked in confusion.
"Today I took a lot of work! I should be able to work until the end of the year! I feel happy!" This guy said poor Mandarin and had to "ah" and seemed to be deliberately learning the southern accent, but what he said was really unpleasant, and the listeners got goose bumps all over the floor.
The shop owner was happy and glanced at Du Feng and asked, "Is that a shortage of people?"
"Yes! I plan to bring in urgent groups of people from my hometown!"
Du Feng was drinking on his own, not much affection for this person, and he spoke sissy. Looking at his complacent look, he seemed to think that God was the eldest and the second.
"Brother, I'll help you find someone now, he's the only one! What do you think?" The shop owner pointed at Du Feng.
The guy looked at Du Feng again, with an incomprehensible smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Can he do it? There are all black men on the construction site!"
Du Feng suddenly shivered. This guy was so unbearable to speak. But the shop owner and the boss lady seemed to be acceptable, probably because they had been with him for a long time.
The shop owner laughed and said, "Brother! This is one of my benefactors. If he hadn't pointed out a clear way for his brother, I would have gone home to plant the two acres of land. Now he is not doing well now, so you can help him for my sake!"
Seeing the man squinted his eyes, the shop owner quickly took out a few boxes of good cigarettes from the counter and stuffed them to him: "My brothers have been so many years, and they are also neighbors. You can't help me. In this way, I'll give you half a discount when you come to my shop in the future. What do you think?"
Speaking of this, the guy finally put away his arrogant expression, put the boxes of cigarettes in his pocket with a smile, and said with a chuckle: "Brother, I can't refute your face! You said you are wrong! But whether he can do it is his problem! But it's not my fault!"
The shop owner nodded and smiled, "That's that's it!" He turned around and said to Du Feng, "My benefactor, his surname is Xu, you can just call him XCMG in the future!"
"Mr. Xu... Duke!" Du Feng blurted out, thinking that the name of this guy is strange enough, and he must call him eunuch if he is not good at calling him.
That guy called him like this on the construction site, calling him Engineer Xu in full, but now it's simple, that's XCMG. To be honest, he is not an engineer, at best, he is a fool, knows a little anything but is not proficient in anything.
"Well! After dinner, you can follow me! I'll arrange a place for you! Come with me to the construction site tomorrow morning!" Xu Gong said happily, but Du Feng sounded awkward. This father-in-law really didn't build it.
After drinking and eating, Du Feng and the shop owner said goodbye. When they left, the boss lady specially rolled him up two beds of bedding, but it was still brand new.
After following XCMG, I moved out of Xiaocai Street. After walking for more than a day, I finally stopped in front of a dilapidated old building. The old building should be a product of the 1990s. The original yellow paint has faded away, leaving only the dirt-gray outer skin, and even a few cracks.
XCMG led the way in front, stopped in front of a broken iron door, and kicked the iron door with the sole of the shiny leather shoes.
After a while, I heard someone running out of it. With a "click", the big iron door was opened with a trembling sound. A thin young man looked out of his head.
"What are you looking at that!" XCMG glared at him.
The boy quickly smiled: "XCM, you are here!"
XCMG didn't reply to his words, raised his hand and asked him to open the door, and then led Du Feng in.
Nearly ten men gathered in the small house, with great age differences. The older ones seemed to be fifty years old, and the younger ones were only in their teenage years. They were all unkempt and were gathered together to play cards.
When I heard someone coming in, I turned my head to look at it. When I saw XCMG, I quickly greeted her with a smile.
"You still have the interest to come and have a look so late?" The older man quickly took them up.
"Gathering people to gamble! You're not afraid of being caught? I'll tell you, if something happens, don't give me it?" XCMG's eyebrows frowned in a line and said majestic.
The older man smiled and said, "It's just a 30-year-old girl who can pass the time! We are so poor that we can't compare with your nightlife! Three or five girls are with you all day, which is so nourishing!"
XCMG is a person who likes to listen to flattery. He enjoyed hearing what he said, and nodded: "You guys have fun! By the way, I will introduce you to a new colleague. What's your name?" He turned his head and looked at Du Feng behind him. At this time, the people in the room found that there was a handsome man standing behind him.
"I... my name is Du Feng!" Du Feng didn't know what he called, but when he heard others calling him that, he recognized it. It didn't sound bad anyway.
"Well! He has lived here since today. He will take him to the construction site to report tomorrow morning. Do you know?" XCMG took out half a box of good cigarettes from his arms, threw it to the older man, turned around and walked out.
The older man narrowed his eyes into a line with a smile, quickly grabbed half of the cigarette on the ground, and shouted at XCMG's back: "I understand! Thank you XCMG!"
After XCMG disappeared, the older man put away his smile and looked at Du Feng. The people living in this room were from the same village, and it was really uncomfortable to get a stranger. Everyone was disgusted. If it weren't for the person XCMG sent him personally, he might have driven him out.
"Boy, I don't think you are clean and don't look like someone who is working hard. Give me a honest explanation, did XCMG send you to monitor us?" The older man took out a lit from the half-box of cigarettes. This cigarette was very rare for him. Only after every time he flattered, he could get such a little reward from XCMG.
Du Feng looked at him and understood that this old guy was the chief leader in this room.
"I don't know him, so I don't monitor him!" Du Feng felt a surge of pressure coming to his face, and the dozen people in front of him didn't like him at all.
"If so, be careful I will break your legs! Go! There is an open space at the door, find a corner to stay!" The older man glared at him and pointed to a small pothole-filled open space behind the door.
Du Feng stopped talking and moved over with the bedding. Those people were all wooden beds, while Du Feng could only lay the bedding on the floor. The ground was really dirty, but there was no way.
"Boy! Your quilt is pretty good! What my wife gave it?" Seeing Du Feng's two new quilts, a black boy snorted coldly.
"No, it's a friend!" Du Feng did not hide it.
"What a pity to spread it on the ground. Come on, I'll give you one!" The guy said as he picked up his broken quilt and threw it to him, and pulled away his two new quilts with his backhand: "I've changed it with you!"
Du Feng watched him drag his new job away, and he became angry, but after thinking about it, he still held back. What can he do if he is dissatisfied? He will inevitably be beaten up by others.
I could only swallow my anger and spread the torn quilt on the ground, but the quilt was so broken that it was almost broken.
"Oh! Boy, let the door flash out. Be careful that I will step on your head in the middle of the night when I go to the bathroom. Then I will not be responsible!" A strong man with a big belly and a round waist laughed, causing everyone to laugh.
Du Feng was really afraid that such a situation would happen, so he really didn't dare to lie down. This place was too small and it was a must-pass way to enter and exit. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to lie down, so he had to sit with his back against the wall.
After the group of people teased, they continued to play cards with clamor. Du Feng was left alone. In their eyes, Du Feng was not even as good as a dog.
The night turned out to be darker. They were tired of fighting and crawled back to their own beds and lay down, and the lights were also closed.
Du Feng sat against the wall, his eyes darkened, and he felt extremely helpless.
It was very cold at night, and it was so cold that it was bone-broken. Those people had electric mattresses on their beds, and they were covered with thick quilts. They slept sweetly, and their snoring sounds one after another, deafening.
Du Feng hugged his arms in both hands and poured a gust of cold wind into the crack of the door, which made him pale and tremble all over.
When I became numb all over and fell asleep unknowingly.
Before dawn the next day, the group of people got up one after another, and Du Feng quickly got up and hid aside.
When they ate and drank, they began to leave one after another. Of course, they did not have the portion of Du Feng's breakfast and had no temper at all.
"Why are you just standing there? Let's go!" The older man glared at him, pushed him out of the room, and locked the iron door with his backhand.
