"We're all willing to work for Brother Lei!"
"Brother Lei, we promise we won't do it again!"
Lei Tingjun nodded, and finally said earnestly, "Alright, since that's the case, everyone should treat the transport team as your own home from now on, and don't do anything reckless."
After the meeting, A-Qiang approached Lei Tingjun alone and said, "Brother Lei, this whole thing started because of me, and I feel really bad that you had to take half of the fine for me. I'll just pay for it myself."
Lei Tingjun gave him a cold look: "What, you've made some money and you're getting cocky?"
"Brother Lei, you know that's not what I meant!" A-Qiang quickly said.
Lei Tingjun led A-Qiang up the hillside of the construction site, looking at the city across the night, and asked him, "A-Qiang, have you ever thought about what you want to do after you make money?"
Ah Qiang scratched his head: "The little money I have right now is enough for me to go back to my hometown, demolish the old recycling station house my dad left behind, and rebuild a small house, and then..."
He chuckled sheepishly, "Then, I'll get married and have a big, healthy son!"
Lei Tingjun found a place to sit down on the hillside and smiled faintly upon hearing this: "It's fine."

Ah Qiang had never seen such a tender expression on Lei Ge's face before.

Many times, Ah Qiang would feel that loneliness and desolation, especially during holidays like Chinese New Year, when he saw other families reunited and laughing. He felt that Lei Ge must also feel that loneliness and desolation.
Lei Ge was just stronger than him mentally; he never revealed his weaknesses to anyone.
Lei Tingjun gazed at the moon and said, "To build a happy family, to have a wife who loves you in return, and to have a healthy and lovely child. To spend one's life hand in hand with the one you love and grow old together. This is probably every man's wish."
His wish was nothing more than this, so ordinary and simple, not some earth-shattering ideal.
