"Uncle, you are still working here at your age?" Gu Chen was a little curious.

Although there are very few young people today who do this kind of physical work, it’s not like they want an old man to work here, right?

Gu Chenxin said what does this company think? "

"It's okay." The old man didn't mind. He patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, young man. I'm a temporary worker who was rehired. I get paid on a daily basis. I have some technical jobs that you young people may not have the same skills as us.

skilled."

"This is true." Gu Chen did not deny it.

Compared with experienced masters, some young people are really inferior.

After all, people have decades of experience in working day and night, so they are definitely more skilled than young people in terms of efficiency.

"Then..." Seeing Gu Chen staring at him all the time, the old man said with some embarrassment: "If there's nothing else, I'll go over there first. I still have to look at the pipe repairs over there."

"Okay, I won't disturb your work, but pay attention to your safety." Gu Chen took the initiative to give way to the passage.

The old man left with the toolbox...

At this time, Lu Weiwei also found Gu Chen and hurriedly walked to him and said: "Junior Brother Gu, Director Zhao asked us to leave a small number of people at the scene to continue to maintain order, while the others evacuated. What Lao Wang meant was that the three groups of us should stay

."

"No problem." Gu Chen was not surprised, he smiled and said, "It's appropriate for the third group to stay."

"Then let's go over there?" Lu Weiwei looked around for a week and said: "There are relevant companies here to repair, so let's not get involved. The circuit is now interrupted and the traffic lights are out of order. Director Zhao wants us to go over and help.

Traffic police, please maintain order at the scene."

"No problem." Gu Chen nodded and followed Lu Weiwei directly to the other side of the intersection to help vehicles pass safely.

It was not until noon that the traffic police arrived in batches and took over the assistance work of the Criminal Investigation Group Three of the Furong Branch.

Small engineering excavators have also temporarily cleaned up the damaged road surface.

Due to the old gas pipelines, leaks and ignition occurred, so the city gas company planned to conduct inspections one by one on other parts of the pipelines with safety hazards to avoid secondary leaks, so the repairs took a long time.

If the circuits in nearby streets are interrupted, they must also cooperate with the gas company's maintenance progress.

Therefore, by noon, many businesses that suffered power outages also closed their doors to wait for notification of incoming calls.

Gu Chen followed other new and old comrades from the third group and returned to the Furong branch canteen for dinner.

When the third group arrived, other departments had already come to the end of their meal. Fortunately, Master Kong left a lot of freshly baked hot meals for the third group.

Seeing that Gu Chen was a little absent-minded while eating, Lu Weiwei asked him curiously: "Junior Brother Gu, what's the matter? Are you worried?"

"It's nothing." Gu Chen smiled and said, "I saw an older worker working at the scene of the incident, and I felt a little distressed."

"Isn't it normal for workers to work?" Officer Wang took a mouthful of food and asked vaguely: "Don't you support them if they don't work?"

"But that worker looks like he's in his seventies, and his hair is all white." Gu Chen added.

In an instant, all the dining police officers at the table were stunned.

"Seven...more than seventy years old?" He Junchao asked in disbelief: "Gu Chen, are you sure you have no misunderstanding about age? Is it true that people in their fifties have gray hair, and then let

You look like you're in your seventies?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "Absolutely not. I can tell from the wrinkles on his face and his rough hands that he is an old man about seventy years old."

"And he also said that he was rehired on a temporary basis, which means that he has already retired from the company and is now just a temporary worker rehired by the employer."

"If you are still working hard outside in your seventies, tsk tsk, then his children are too unfilial." He Junchao couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this.

Officer Ding put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "What do you know? Your family is in good condition, how can you go out to work at such an old age? Or maybe they are too busy at home, so they work part-time and make money every day, why not?"

"

"And how many young people today can do such dirty and tiring work? I usually ask you He Junchao to go downstairs to carry a bucket of water, and you will scream."

Officer Ding also made him feel a little embarrassed. He Junchao also smiled and said: "Old Ding, if you say that, I won't do it anymore. Adults collapse quietly. Aren't you in a bad mood those days?"

"Senior Brother He is in a bad mood?" Gu Chen asked him curiously.

After all, in Gu Chen's eyes, He Junchao is an optimist every day. In the busy Group 3 office, who laughs the happiest? Besides Lu Weiwei, only He Junchao is there.

So He Junchao said that he was in a bad mood, and Gu Chen felt that it needed to be considered.

It also felt that Gu Chen was questioning, He Junchao immediately smiled and said: "I said Gu Chen, this adult collapses quietly. Maybe you look like we are normal, we can joke, play, and socialize.

But in fact, the bad things have accumulated to a certain extent.”

"We can't cry hysterically, let alone scream indifferently. After all, we have to go to work tomorrow and pretend that nothing happened, so of course you can't see the other side of my bad mood."

Gu Chen didn't know if what He Junchao said was true, but it seemed to make sense, so he nodded in cooperation.

Seeing Gu Chen's approval, He Junchao clapped his hands again and said, "So, it seems that the straw that broke the camel's back was the last straw, but little did we know that what we had endured before was already on the verge of collapse."

"We are the same way. We have no way to vent, we can only endure it. In the end, we will collapse under a little bit of pressure or a little thing."

"The collapse of adults like us is a process of self-healing while collapsing."

"Yo!" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but look at He Junchao with admiration after seeing He Junchao talk about all kinds of nonsense: "But why didn't I see it?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Do you need to see this?" He Junchao felt very funny and continued: "So I don't want to grow up at all. There may be time for homework. Really

It’s very beautiful, maybe this is society.”

"Haha." Seeing that He Junchao was also pretending to be serious, Officer Wang, who had finished his lunch, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said: "Today's young people can't endure hardship as much as the older generation."

"Because you feel unhappy at work, you can resign at will. You will change jobs again and again. In the end, you will just stay at home and eat your old age."

"Because it's hard to go to work and earn money, I feel like the warmth in my home is warm. The old people go out to work, and the young ones stay at home to care for their old age."

"Look at the old man Gu Chen mentioned. He is working outside in his seventies, so you should complain less and be more enthusiastic about your work."

After hearing what Officer Wang said, Lu Weiwei immediately echoed: "That's right, there's no point in complaining. You can only tolerate it and look mature, haha."

"Don't make trouble, it's like saying you won't go to work the day after tomorrow." He Junchao also looked at her with confusion and contempt.

Seeing that Gu Chen was silent, Lu Weiwei touched Gu Chen with her shoulder: "Junior brother Gu, what's wrong? Did you remember something sad again?"

"Absolutely." Gu Chen also took a few bites of rice, then put down his chopsticks and said, "Seeing this old man reminds me of my childhood."

"When you were a child?" Lu Weiwei rarely heard about Gu Chen's childhood, so her eyes widened: "What was Junior Brother Gu like when he was a child?"

Gu Chen smiled and said: "Seeing the old man reminds me of when I was a child, when my parents started doing business after they were laid off."

"When I saw my father's eyes reddened because of something one day, I knew that my father also felt very wronged, but he endured it in order to support our family."

"So when I saw that old man with calloused hands repairing pipes in such a cold weather, to be honest, I felt a little emotional."

"So that's it." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei stopped joking for a moment and said directly: "The laughter and curses during the day, the secret sadness at night, maybe this is the true portrayal of the older generation.

."

"Now we, especially me, will take the initiative to ask for overtime."

"Don't look at the snacks that I usually keep in my drawer. In fact, I wake up ten minutes earlier than the set alarm clock every day, because what wakes me up is not the money I make from going to work, but how many bags of nut snacks and clothes I can earn today, so

Mentality is really important.”

"Haha, it seems that Senior Sister Lu has a good attitude." Gu Chen was a little emotional at first, but when Lu Weiwei said it, he instantly felt not so bad.

Several trainee police officers looked at each other and began to discuss heatedly.

"Let's just talk about me. This year is the worst year I have ever encountered. There is no other one. I have never been so exhausted before that I went to the hospital because of work. I hope everything will be fine next year."

"Yes, I still have to work overtime."

"It's okay, I can get through it."

"The collapse of an adult only occurs in a moment, that is when the speed of self-healing cannot keep up with the speed of injury, and the whole body is injured."

"Haha, I feel so difficult."

"How long has it been since you laughed unscrupulously and without any scruples? How long has it been since the last time that pure, unbridled body, light and carefree happiness? Can you tell me?"

"Tell you, can you share the burden? We are all the same type of people."

"Ha ha……"

While everyone was laughing, they also looked at Gu Chen who was smiling.

"Gu Chen, what do you think?" Officer Wang also withdrew his smile and quickly asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled and said: "I think the collapse of adults may never come from those sudden changes that seem to be enough to destroy life. They will never be knocked down by any hammer. What knocks them down may always be a hammer."

A buzzing mosquito."

"Haha, that's interesting." Officer Wang was very interested in Gu Chen's views. It seemed that this kid looked at the problem in a very different way.

After everyone gathered in the cafeteria for a while, they all returned to the police dormitory to rest for a while. After that, they would start to promote posters in major communities to let everyone guard against new fraud methods that have recently emerged.

Due to the period from Christmas to New Year's Day, all police officers in Seremban Branch must be on duty.

Therefore, all the police officers of Furong Branch have been performing the darkness of day and night.

In addition to handling daily work during the day, at night, many police officers also carry printed police anti-fraud posters to several nearby residential communities, replace the poster boards, and remind residents who are walking by to

have a look.
