The days passed so fast, and in a daze, it had been more than two months since I left campus.
How long has it been since Huang Yiyi left me? I forgot! Without Huang Yiyi, my days feel like years.
During the time I left school, I lost a lot of weight due to the heavy and hard physical work at the construction site. My originally thin body became even thinner now.
I also thought about looking for Huang Yiyi, but I only knew that she transferred to another school, but I didn't know which school she transferred to.
I couldn't find it in the vast sea of people. I swallowed all the sweat of hard work and tears of regret.
One day in winter, it was very cold. It had snowed and the ground was freezing.
Everyone in the construction site had their necks curled up, and no one wanted to work very much. However, because we had to rush to catch up with the progress of the project, we had to continue working despite the severe cold.
There was still goose feather-like snow floating in the sky, making a commotion.
I carried a small bucket of cement slurry in the snow, one trip after another. After a while, my whole body was dripping with sweat.
My co-workers all told me to take it easy and not work so hard.
I smiled and continued to work hard.
I walked forward with a small bucket full of cement slurry. The ground was very slippery in the snow. I walked in a hurry and accidentally slipped. The cement slurry was everywhere and covered my whole body.
My nose, face, and eyes were all covered with cement. I was made of cement. Fortunately, I didn’t get hurt. The cement stuck to my skin, which made my skin a little painful.
I wiped my face with my hands, but the cement slurry on my face was not completely wiped off. I had no choice but to go to the faucet to find some water to wash. It was just because the weather was too cold and the faucet had already frozen.
There is no water.
But my face was burning because of the burning cement. I had no choice but to pick up the snow on the ground and wipe it on my face. The snow on my face felt very cold but also very comfortable. This slightly relieved the pain on my face.
, but my face was ugly. My co-workers laughed at me because I looked like a zebra, with one part of my face black and one part white.
They made fun of me, but I just smiled. When people working on construction sites are clean, they are either covered in lime or dust. These are normal. I think maybe I am not used to it now.
, but if you work for a long time, you will always get used to it.
During lunch, more than 20 people from our construction site gathered together in a simple wooden shed with a large wooden plank spread across the floor. There were four steamed buns in the bowl in front of each of us, accompanied by a bowl of hot steamed buns.
Huge green vegetable and tofu soup.
Finally, after a whole morning of physical work, I was almost starving to death. Although my face and body were very dirty, I was too hungry to wash myself off. I just sat on the wooden stool and started to eat.
Here comes the steamed buns.
After lunch, I still felt a little hungry, but there was only so much food. If I ate more, others would have to eat less, so I had no choice but to endure it.
When I work in the afternoon, I still have to carry cement.
There was intermittent snow falling in the sky, but it was not as heavy as in the morning.
I carried the cement slurry, one trip after another, working like a robot. When I was numb, my mind went blank.
When my mind was blank, I suddenly remembered a scene. It was also a snowy day. Huang Yiyi and I once walked on the snow in front of our house. What a warm and beautiful scene.
Snow has given me such wonderful memories, but this time, I hate the snow very much because I have to brave the cold snow to work in the snow.
I was carrying a bucket of cement slurry, swaying, stumbling, and cautiously walking forward. At this moment, a shout came from behind me.
