Chapter 26
26
Like other villages, Wangdian Village is not very popular. But since it is a weekend, you can occasionally see children playing on the side of the road. Zhu Yushen just rode a slow circle on the road in the village, nothing happened.
He found that he didn't know what he was going to do. When he left the village on another road, he saw a lot of people working on the side of a hill, and he had to pass by there.
Taking a closer look, it turned out that they were building a dam. There were cement, yellow sand, stones and working tools scattered on the construction site. At this time, many women carrying things came, and the people working there
After washing his hands, Zhu Yushen found that these workers were all old men, and those women should be their wives. They had brought afternoon snacks. The old men received the snacks from their own family members and started to eat them.
, what they ate was either noodles, or crispy rice noodles soaked in egg soup. Seeing how delicious they were eating, Zhu Yushen swallowed hard.
Inadvertently, Zhu Yushen found a person next to a big stone. He was sitting there alone in a daze. He must also be working here, but why didn't anyone give her snacks? Zhu Yushen moved closer to him,
The man turned around at this time and saw that this man was Wang Danbao.
The two of them smiled at each other. Wang Danbao stood up, walked slowly to Zhu Yushen and said, "You are such a rare visitor, why are you here? Are you here to see me?"
Zhu Yushen said: "I passed by here on business and stopped by your village. If I met you, I would consider it to be to see you. Zhang Cong went to my house to play not long ago and mentioned your matter. By the way, why weren't you with him?
Is there any work done there?"
Wang Danbao's expression was very decadent at this time. He said: "Look, I have injured my foot. When I work there, I get paid for every day I work. It is impossible for the boss to keep me there for a long time. Look.
, I can only work with these old men now. This dam was built with money from the town, and we will calculate the wages together after it is repaired.
Compared with the old men, I still can’t pick things up. But my upper body strength is stronger, and I’m better at smashing rocks and stacking rocks than them. No, I’ve been working here for some time. You see, it’s painful to live alone! We did it
I've been starving for a few hours. These old men have their mothers-in-law bringing snacks, which I didn't expect. Zhang Cong must have told you about my little trouble. Brother, come here, I
You probably sympathize with me, I, Wang Danbao, am grateful to you!"
Then they talked about some topics about other classmates. After the old men finished eating, they started fucking again. Wang Danbao talked to Zhu Yushen while working, talking about the past things. Zhu Yushen recalled while chatting
Well, when he was in middle school, Wang Danbao was a very outgoing person. He liked to come to his class to mess around during recess. His home was not far from Zhang Cong’s home, and they often walked together to and from school. At that time, he and Zhang Cong were classmates.
Table, naturally also got involved with Wang Danbao.
He clearly remembered that in the summer, Wang Danbao rode his bicycle several times and took him and others along the river bank to swim in the deep water of Chishui River. At that time, Wang Danbao was very strong, and he could ride with others to swim in the deep water.
He can run faster than Zhang Cong and the others alone. He is really strong.
After chatting for a while, Zhu Yushen wanted to interrupt Wang Danbao, who was about to leave. But Wang Danbao was busy with his hands and moving his mouth quickly. Zhu Yushen didn't know when to bring it up. In anxiety, Zhu Yushen looked up.
A glance at the sky was a big deal. When I came out of my mother's village, the sky was already bright yellow, and now it has turned black. Sure enough, it started raining heavily in an instant, and the rain came fiercely.
Seeing this, the workers quickly used plastic sheets to cover the cement and the fortifications that had just been piled with cement. Wang Danbao quickly took out an umbrella from under the plastic sheet and threw it to Zhu Yushen, who himself put a piece of plastic sheet over his body.
, were also busy building fortifications. After a while, the fortifications were all finished, and the old men dispersed like birds and beasts. Zhu Yushen looked at the heavier rain, and felt worried. Wang Danbao said: "Brother Zhu, this rain is strong enough.
Yes, and it seems like it won’t stop for a while. I don’t think you can go back, so you might as well stay at my place for the night. It’s convenient for me to be alone by nature.”
Zhu Yushen said: "But I have to go to my aunt's house in Sun Town tomorrow morning."
Wang Danbao said: "That's right. You see, Sun Village is still close to us. Why do you need to ride back to Huangzhen Street and come here tomorrow morning? Our place is more than ten miles away from the street.
As for the road, the rain is annoying, coming one after another, and it didn’t clear up much in the first half of the year.”
Zhu Yushen said: "You are right. It's just that I didn't agree to spend the night outside when I came here."
Wang Danbao said: "This is not easy! Why don't you call your mother-in-law and say that staying at your buddy's house for one night is not enough? If she doesn't trust you, I'll yell at her to prove that you didn't go out to do bad things without telling her.
, isn’t it done? Okay, don’t tremble, let’s go forward, my home is on the hillside in front of us.”
On the way, Zhu Yushen called Xiao Rong and explained the situation. Xiao Rong said on the other end: "Wang Danbao, I heard you said last time that you should live at his place."
After getting closer, Zhu Yushen saw that Wang Danbao's home was a small building with two floors each, but it was not painted and looked very old. When Wang Danbao opened the door, he was greeted by a musty smell. It's no wonder that, recently,
It's been raining.
After Wang Danbao entered the house, he quickly started cleaning. Zhu Yushen took an umbrella and walked around the house. Wang Danbao's house is backed by a mountain, and the other three sides are overgrown with weeds. There is a path leading to the house.
When we arrived at the village, his home was alone in this area and seemed very deserted. One of the two rooms on the ground floor of the house was the kitchen and the other was the living room. There was a single bed in the living room. Wang Danbao explained that it was his
He found someone to do it after he injured his foot. The foot was not good and he was too lazy to climb the stairs. Upstairs was the room where he and his late wife lived. There seemed to be mice scurrying around in the kitchen below. Seeing this, Zhu Yu thought deeply.
As soon as he left, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping.
After cleaning up, Wang Danbao said to Zhu Yushen who was standing at the door in a daze: "Brother, I'm sorry, the house is very dirty. It's a little better now. You can come in and sit. Stay a while, and the rain will lighten up. I'll go out."
Come back after buying something and let's eat at night." So Zhu Yushen sat on the stool, and Wang Danbao sat on the small bed in the living room like an Arhat meditating.
Wang Danbao said: "It's hard to live alone. Brother, you are good. When I was in middle school, I thought you would be promising in the future. Sure enough, you are now a teacher at Huangzhen Middle School. It's a good job. I,
Including Zhang Cong and other people who had poor grades in school and poor family conditions, life is really boring now. When you went to our construction site to find Zhang Cong, we were painting the wall. Zhang Cong then went to your house.
After playing for a while, he told me later that you were getting married, and you married a fair and fat wife. Your life was so fast. Zhang Cong said that he envied you, and I didn't even mention it.
Although Zhang Cong's situation is not very satisfactory, it is better than mine now. His old woman is ugly and does not look like a woman. I am afraid Zhang Cong is too lazy to have sex with her. But at least there is someone there, and their daughter is raised.
In this way, no one will gossip about him behind his back. You really don’t know, I was gossiped about behind my back. In the past, it was because I was poor, and then I married a wife and left soon after. Then I was poor again.
, and I have to live alone again. They said that I will never have the chance to start a family in this life.
This made them feel happy, and they would always criticize me from a high point. When the old ladies in the village talked about me, they would shake their heads and sigh. Gradually, in the eyes of insiders, I have become
I have become an alien. There are few entertainment activities in rural areas, and I just fill this gap. In fact, most of the people here do not have a good life; there are many people at my age who cannot marry a wife.
Someone is there; the couple living at home often complains that the other person's family is poor or has little ability, and they often get into fights.
But I got married last year and became a person again. After all this trouble, they were happy. The people in Murakami now fight and cry for poverty much less than before. Don’t believe it, I’m telling the truth.
Ah. So, my merits are immeasurable! Do you think this is funny? What kind of world is this? What a tragedy."
Zhu Yushen comforted him and said, "How can you say that? You are still young and you still have a long time to live. I think you still have a chance to build a family again. You are not a bad person. Be optimistic, my friend."
