Chapter 11

The next day, Chen Shufeng took Chen Yang and Yan Qi to the construction site.

Li Rong, the foreman at the construction site, was an old acquaintance with Chen Shufeng. After seeing Chen Yang, he was very satisfied and immediately let him stay at the construction site.

Chen Shufeng explained and left. Li Rong watched him walk away alone, and said in surprise, "Hey, you haven't taken this little friend away yet."

"This is my younger brother. I want to take him to live on the construction site." Chen Yang explained.

Li Rong: "Your brother? He's so young, he's not safe on the construction site."

"Uncle Li, I won't run around. When my brother is working, I will stay in the room and won't come out to make trouble." Yan Qi said.

Chen Shufeng said: "Old Li, Ayang has just arrived in this city, and he is not familiar with it, and he has no money on him. After he has worked for a while and gets familiar with it, he will take Xiaoqi out to rent a house. During this time, you Take more responsibility, next time we buddies will come out and get together."

They all came from the countryside, and Li Rong also knew that it was not easy for people who just came out to work, so he agreed after some hesitation.

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

"Young man, I'll show you where you live." Li Rong patted him on the shoulder and led him across the construction site.

Most of the workers on the construction site live in a large single room at the back of the construction site. The single room is about [-] meters long, and there are about a dozen beds, which are bunk beds and bunk beds.

In addition to the bed, there are only two large tables in the room, which are placed in the empty space in the middle of the room.The table is full of daily necessities such as rice bowls and chopsticks.

"It's here. Although the room is a bit small, there is always a place to live. Someone here is in charge of cooking, and three meals a day can be guaranteed." Li Rong said, "The conditions are a bit difficult, but living here can save some money. Let's see if you and your brother are willing to live here? If not, there are many rented houses outside, you can also go and have a look. "

Chen Yang himself was fine, he pinched Yan Qi's palm and said, "Xiao Qi, what do you think?"

As long as Yan Qi can be with Chen Yang, he will be happy even if he sleeps wrapped in a quilt in the open air.

Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Li Rong said, "Pack up your things and come to the construction site to find me later. By the way, this kid, I suggest you stay in the room. The construction site is not safe, and you will be hit by bricks." It’s not a joke when it’s knocked.”

After Li Rong left, Chen Yang put the big bag in his hand on the only vacant bed in the room.

The bed was next to the door. Chen Yang simply wiped the dust, spread cotton pads and sheets, took out the quilt and shook it a few times, then folded it and put it on the bed.

Both of them put their clothes in the bag. Chen Yang stuffed the bag into the space under the bed, arranged the tableware for the two of them to eat, and then pulled Yan Qi to sit on the edge of the bed.

The bed here is much smaller than at home. Fortunately, the two of them don't move around when they sleep, and they don't worry about being too crowded.

"Xiao Qi, my brother will go out to work later, you play here, and my brother will come back and take you to dinner after finishing the work." Chen Yang patted Yan Qi's head and said.

Yan Qi was really looking forward to going to the construction site with Chen Yang, but just now Li Rong had repeatedly told him not to go there. Yan Qi knew that this job opportunity was rare, and he couldn't let his brother lose his job because of him.

He nodded obediently and said, "Brother, don't worry, I won't run around."

"Well. When my brother makes money, I'll take you out to buy delicious food. This place is much bigger than our hometown, and there are many delicious food." Chen Yang said.

Yan Qi blinked and said, "I don't eat snacks, brother, let's save the money so we can marry you a wife later."

Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile, "Who did you hear that from?"

Yan Qi was a little embarrassed, and said, "Brother Yu Ming said last night that he said that he will marry a wife when he grows up, and that his brother will also marry a wife when he grows up." Speaking of this, Yan Qi lowered his head, twisted his fingers, and said : "Brother, you married a daughter-in-law, can I still live with you?"

Chen Yang didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

Yan Qi was a little nervous, he was worried that Chen Yang would let him leave after marrying his wife.

He didn't want to leave, it would be best if he could be with Chen Yang for the rest of his life.

"Brother?" Yan Qi called out.

Chen Yang said: "No, brother doesn't marry a wife."

Yan Qi opened his eyes wide: "But brother Yu Ming said..."

"When Xiaoqi marries a wife, my brother will marry a wife." Chen Yang touched his face and said softly, "My brother is going to work, don't cry alone."

When Yan Qi heard what Chen Yang said, he immediately said happily: "I don't want to marry a wife, I want to be with my brother."

Seeing his innocent look, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Okay, then we two will be together."

Yan Qi cheered happily. Ever since he heard Yu Ming say that people would marry a wife when they grow up last night, he had been worried that Chen Yang would not want him by then.

Now that Chen Yang said that he would be with him forever, Yan Qi happily hugged Chen Yang and said, "Brother, I like you the most. I don't want to marry a wife, I want to be with my brother."

Neither of them expected that this sentence would become true.

Chen Yang went to work on the construction site, while Yan Qi stayed in the room alone.

There were too many beds in the room, and there was almost no space to move around. Yan Qi didn't dare to walk around, so he could only lie on the bed and hug the quilt, his big eyes rolled around, and his ears pricked up to listen to the movement outside.

It was the first time he was alone in a room in such a big city, and he was still a little scared, but he pretended not to be afraid because he didn't want to be a burden to Chen Yang.

Now that he is alone, he is very afraid that bad people will come in from outside.

He leaned on the bed, his nerves were highly tense, and it didn't take long before he fell asleep in a daze.

"Xiao Qi, wake up, it's time for dinner." Yan Qi was fast asleep when he heard someone calling him in a low voice.

He rubbed his eyes, opened them, and saw Chen Yang bent over in front of him.

"Brother?" Yan Qi was still not sober, and after shouting, he closed his eyes again.

But immediately, he opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Brother, have you finished your work?!"

Chen Yang smiled and said: "Yes, today's work is done. It's time to eat, get up quickly, if you go later, there will be no delicious food."

Yan Qi lifted the quilt and climbed out of bed. Seeing that he fell asleep without taking off his clothes, Chen Yang was worried that he would catch cold when he went out, so he found a thicker coat for him to put on, and pulled him with two rice bowls. Walk towards the cafeteria.

Yan Qi was very happy, seeing his brother as soon as he opened his eyes, and being able to eat, was really a blessing to him.

Humming an out-of-tune song, he happily followed Chen Yang to the cafeteria.

Chen Yang took him in. It was a very simple small cafeteria contracted by relatives of the contractors on the construction site to cook meals for the workers on the construction site.

In the cafeteria, there are two windows for ordering vegetables, and there is another window for ordering meals. There is a big pot at the door that contains free clear soup.

The dishes in the two windows are different. The first window is filled with simple home-cooked dishes, cooked in clear soup without any oil or water.The dishes in the second window are much better, but also much more expensive.

Chen Yang ordered a stir-fried baby dish and hot and sour potato shreds at the first window, and then a meat pie and steamed egg at the second window.Then I bought two meals, brought a clear soup at the door, and sat down at a seat by the window.

He put the meat pie and steamed egg in front of Yan Qi, and said, "Xiao Qi, try this dish and see if it tastes good."

When Yan Qi was at home, his mother once made steamed eggs with meatloaf, which tasted very good.

But then I never ate it again.

Seeing that Chen Yang made this before giving it to him, Yan Qi salivated greedily, licked his mouth, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite and put it in his mouth.

Oh, it's delicious!

The meat is oily but not greasy, and the salted egg yolk is delicious. Yan Qi happily picked up a chopstick of an egg and put it in Chen Yang's rice bowl, then picked out a large piece of meat pie for him, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's delicious. You eat too."

Chen Yang made this dish for Yan Qi. He thought that Yan Qi was still young and wanted to grow up, so he couldn't eat too lightly like him.

Seeing that Yan Qi wanted to pick him up, he said, "Brother doesn't like to eat duck eggs, Xiao Qi, you can eat duck eggs yourself."

Yan Qi opened his eyes wide, obviously not understanding why Chen Yang didn't like to eat duck eggs that were so delicious.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Come, have a bite of potato shreds."

Yan Qi opened his mouth obediently.

The shredded potatoes are not tasty, too much vinegar is put in, so sour.

The sour Yan Qi wrinkled his face and said, "Brother, it's too sour!"

Chen Yang smiled: "Brother likes to eat. Xiao Qi eat quickly, the food will be cold later."

Yan Qi thought that Chen Yang really didn't like steamed eggs with meat pies, so he happily ate a bowl of steamed eggs with meat pies by himself, and also ate some baby vegetables, and ate half a bowl of rice.

Chen Yang was also happy to see him eating with a smile on his face. He was worried that the food in the cafeteria here was too bad, and Yan Qichang's food was not good for his health, which would not be good for his development.

After the two finished their meal, they put the bowls and chopsticks back in the room, and sat on the bed to talk.

Yan Qi pulled Chen Yang to ask about today's work.

Chen Yang told him one by one.

He just said light things.In fact, working on the construction site, especially the newcomer, is doing hard work, and everyone will leave to him whatever they don't like.But these, there is no need to let Yan Qi know that he is worried.

When Yan Qi heard Chen Yang say that the work was not very tiring, he leaned on the bed with confidence and said, "Brother, it's also pretty good here. Brother Yu Ming said yesterday that we will have working experience in the future and we can find better jobs." Do. But brother, when do you think I can work with you?"

"You have to study first, and after you finish reading, you can work with your brother."

"Study?" Yan Qi didn't understand very well, he thought that Chen Yang didn't study anymore, and he definitely wouldn't go to school either.

The family did not have the money for him to study.

But Chen Yang had already thought about it.

He has no choice but to drop out of school by himself, now that he has a way to make money, no matter how hard and tiring he is, he still wants Yan Qi to study.

Yu Ming also chatted with him last night, and he gave him a suggestion, work first to get through the difficulties in front of him.This city is very prosperous, as long as you work hard, life will always be easier.

When he had some savings, Yu Ming asked Chen Yang to enroll in a technical class to learn technology, so that he would not spend his whole life moving bricks.

Speaking of Qi, he is still so young, and his dream is far from beginning, and he cannot let his dream embark on the road of moving bricks and doing coolies at the age of six.
