The next day, the Luancheng University campus welcomed dozens of construction workers wearing cotton-padded jackets and various types of machinery and equipment early in the morning.

Wang Laosan personally directed: "Workers will circle the perimeter of the construction site first! The bulldozers will directly enter the site to level the land. The surveyors and linemen will mark the location of the foundation together. The excavators will be on standby for the time being. Let's all get moving."

As Wang Laosan shouted, the workers all began to reach out and pick up wooden stakes from the ground. They stepped off the roadbed and began to build a fence along the periphery of the land.

Because the construction site was so large, Wang Laosan directly used wooden piles and green gauze to set up a fence with these cheap items.

With a rumble, four bulldozers, puffing out thick black smoke, dispersed into the construction site and began to push. All the dry and yellow weeds on the ground were shoveled aside along with the soil.

The two technicians picked up the equipment they had brought with them and began to install tripods for the surveying and mapping instrument.

After work had started at the construction site for a while, Lu Aiguo arrived belatedly in his Audi car. The headlight on the right front of the car was damaged and there were large scratches around it. It was obvious that it had been hit.

Seeing Lu Aiguo's car approaching, Wang Laosan raised his hand to signal it.

"What happened? How did the car crash like this?" Wang Laosan was facing the front of the car and saw the damage at a glance.

"Don't mention it. I was driving here. As soon as I drove to the No. 1 Middle School of the Mining Bureau, I met a junior high school student riding a 28-meter big bar and suddenly rushed over. This scared me so much that I forgot about it.

I hit the brakes. Fortunately, the kid was so excited that he jumped out of the car when he saw that he was about to hit me. Otherwise, I would have been in big trouble."

Lu Aiguo still had lingering fears and told Wang Laosan what happened that morning.

"Is that person okay?" When Wang Laosan heard this, he was also startled and asked hurriedly.

"I got out of the car and took a look. The kid was fine. He just had some skin scratches on his palms. The kid's skin was very strong. He thought I would ask him to pay for my car. He was so frightened that he started crying. He was fine. That's it.

Fortunately, I can still give him a child to accompany me and make money. Seeing that he has nothing to do, I let him go." Lu Aiguo said with great joy in his heart.

"Then he crashed the car in vain?" Wang Laosan asked, looking at the broken headlights.

"What else should I do? That kid doesn't look like he's from a rich family. How can I really argue with a kid? I can fix it myself. But if I have to say that these 28-inch bumpers are really hard, my car

The lights are dry and broken, and the bicycles are doing nothing." Lu Aiguo said mockingly to himself.

"How is the situation here?" Lu Aiguo asked casually as he looked at the busy construction site.

"Everything is normal. Once the outer circle is encircled, the inside will be completed within three days." Wang Laosan said softly.

"It's really cold this morning. Let's not stand around like this. Let's get in the car and sit down. I've already arranged lunch. It's too cold today. Let's all have something hot."

Lu Aiguo looked outside for a while and saw that everyone on the construction site was working in an orderly manner. He greeted Wang Laosan and sat back in the car. There was air conditioning in the car and there was no wind, so it was more comfortable than outside.

many.

Wang Laosan, who was sitting in the Nuanhuhu car, looked at Lu Aiguo and felt a little confused.

There was one thing that he had been thinking about for a long time and didn't know how to say anything.

But after touching the things in his pocket, Shang Laosan still said: "Brother Lu, do you remember Cui Datou? He went to my house yesterday."

"How could I not remember him? If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have gone to work as a laborer in the transportation team and worked hard for half my life! Your sister-in-law wouldn't have been pregnant and ate bean sprouts for half a year.

!When my eldest child was born, he weighed just over five pounds, which is a head shorter than the second child." Lu Aiguo felt itching with hatred when he mentioned Cui Datou.

At that time, Cui Datou took on a project outside to renovate public toilets in public housing areas. Many masons thought that this work was too dirty and smelly, so they were unwilling to do it.

Cui Datou was frustrated that he couldn't find anyone to work for him, so he finally went to Lu Aiguo with wine and meat, and promised that Lu Aiguo's wages would be no problem.

At that time, Song Shufen had just become pregnant, and her family was short of money.

As soon as Lu Aiguo heard that the salary was guaranteed, he didn't care whether it was dirty or not, and directly agreed to Cui Datou.

In three months, a total of 8 public toilets in the entire public housing area were rebuilt. But when it came time to pay the bill, Cui Datou changed his face. He first offered various excuses, saying that he had not received the payment.

After that, he pretended to be aggrieved and said how hard it was for him. In the end, he simply disappeared and was nowhere to be found.

Lu Aiguo was so angry that he went directly to the place where the contracting project was issued in the mining area. After inquiring, he learned that the project payment was not the final payment at all, but was settled immediately after the work was completed and accepted.

The project funds for these eight locations have already been paid to Cui Datou.

Lu Aiguo, who understood that he had been deceived, rushed to Cui Datou's house angrily. However, Cui Datou's house was already crowded with workers who came to collect debts. Cui Datou had already quietly ran away, leaving only orphans and widows.

At home, I am helpless in dealing with these co-workers.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting paid, the workers began to move things, and any items that looked valuable were divided among everyone.

Lu Aiguo, who was furious, originally thought about taking as much as he could, but when he saw the desperate and helpless woman and the frightened and crying child, Lu Aiguo couldn't do it after all.

I made up my mind and left Cui Datou's house with empty hands.

After working hard for more than three months, he didn't get a penny back, and Lu Ai's country was in a desperate situation with no rice or salt.

But in this era, it is extremely difficult to find a stable job, so Lu Aiguo also picked up a big shovel and went to the Dog Street bus stop every day, rain or shine, to squat there and do hard work.

Live and earn some money to support the family.

It's just that this kind of job is really not stable enough. I can't wait for a job even if I stand for a whole day.

Song Shufen, who was pregnant, survived the whole winter relying only on potatoes, Chinese cabbage, and bean sprouts, the cheapest vegetables.

That was also the most unforgettable period for Lu Aiguo, and this was all thanks to Cui Datou.

Wang Laosan took out a yellow envelope from his pocket and handed it to Lu Aiguo.

"This is what Cui Datou asked me to give to you. He said it was the wages he owed you back then. He also said he was the one who was sorry for you back then."

Lu Aiguo looked at the envelope in front of him, his mind filled with the suffering of that year.

"It's been more than 20 years, and he just remembered to pay back the money now. What has he been doing after all these years?"

"Brother Lu, although Cui Datou is a screw up, this money belongs to you, and you should accept it."

Lu Aiguo took the envelope and poured out the money inside, which amounted to one hundred and twenty yuan. These were the wages he earned as a mason who endured the stench for more than three months.

"Twenty years ago, you could buy a lot of things with this money. You could let your sister-in-law eat the hawthorns she always wanted to eat, and you could also buy old hens and fat pork. But now more than 20 years have passed, and you can buy nothing.

No!"

Lu Aiguo rolled down the window and threw the one hundred and twenty yuan together with the yellow envelope out of the car, letting it fly in the wind and drift into the distance.

After closing the car window, Lu Aiguo looked at Wang Laosan and immediately asked: "He must be looking for you more than just paying back the money."

Wang Laosan nodded when he heard this and said: "Cui Datou wants me to put in a good word for him. I hope you can allocate some projects to him."

"This man's face is really thick-skinned to a certain extent. Now he can still ask for a project with a shameless face. Haha... Even if I fail in the project, there is no way I can do it for him. Otherwise, how can I be responsible?

Your sister-in-law has suffered so much." Lu Aiguo laughed angrily and said immediately.

"I know, so I only took the envelope and didn't agree to help him. He is a person who is unjust and unworthy of association." Wang Laosan nodded to Lu Aiguo and said disdainfully.
