Chapter 30: Working outside (1/2)



"Why are you here? Isn't it time to go to the dam?" Seeing Cheng Jiahe step into the door, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and asked.

Cheng Jiahe didn't answer. He glanced into his eyes and asked, "What are you roasting? Rabbit meat?"

Lu Sheng pursed his lips and smiled, then stretched the bowl in front of him and said, "Try it!"

Cheng Jiahe shook his head and swallowed, but his eyes were still on the bowl. "Forget it, why would I want to snatch food from your wife!"

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows and did not force him. This kid always said one thing and meant another.

"What do you want from me today? You didn't come here just because of the smell, did you?" Lu Sheng wiped the fur on his father's shoulder and smiled naturally.

Then he signaled with his eyes to Yansheng beside him to bring the meat to Qin Shuang who came into the room.

It has been difficult to see this kid since he left the dam.

The last time Qin Shuang escaped was simply an accident.

"It's okay. Can't I find you? You can't forget your brothers just because you have a wife!"

He poked her secretly, looking at her sweaty face, and leaned closer, "How was it last time, did you make your wife completely devoted to you?"

He was alluding to the idea of ​​having them have sex.

Lu Sheng patted his arm, looked at Qin Shuang's father-in-law in the main hall, and said angrily, "Not serious, if you have something to say, please tell me, I have to work!"

He poured the soil onto the open ground, spat into his palm, and began to mix it with a shovel.

He had nothing to do these days, so he planned to build a special bathing room next to the courtyard.

The living facilities here are simple and there is no dedicated bathroom. They have to take a bath in the toilet while standing with a bucket.

Since Qin Shuang came, she couldn't adapt to many things, such as the shower, which was dirty and smelly, and the smell was strong and overwhelming. He had seen her vomit several times with a face full of grimaces.

Cheng Lusheng said with a playful smile, "Look at you, it's just marrying a wife, what's the point of giving me a wife?"

He teased him intentionally, saying that the dull block of wood had finally become wise. It seemed that his life would be sweet from now on.

Qin Shuang sat in the main room, and every move of the people outside fell into his ears.

Lu Sheng glanced at him sideways, and said while working, "What's it to you? I'm talking to my wife, next to you, if you have something to say, tell me, if not, I'll just leave it alone!"

He chased him away without any hesitation. This kid, he wouldn't come here just to tease him, right?

"Come on, come on, I can't beat you. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to tell you what happened on the dam. Do you want to listen?"

He jumped down from the mound and said.

"What's the matter? Is there any progress? Your boss wants someone?" Lu Sheng asked, throwing down the shovel in his hand.

Since getting married, he has always had problems finding a job.

Cheng Jiahe nodded, "I've asked around. The brickyard in the East District needs people to carry bricks. One trip can earn you five or eight bricks. If you can carry seven or eight trips a day, it should be no problem. You have enough physical strength. If you run a few more trips than others, you should be able to earn seventy or eighty a day!"

Lu Sheng lowered his long eyelashes. He was indeed tempted by this opportunity.

But……

He glanced at Qin Shuang's room.

"Don't say I didn't call you. If you want to come, come tomorrow afternoon. I only come once a month at most. The journey is not far, but the schedule is tight. If you don't hesitate, the boss will probably hire someone else. We can't delay the schedule!"

Cheng Jiahe saw him looking at Qin Shuang's face and thought he was reluctant to let go, so he reminded him inadvertently.

Lu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Don't worry. I will discuss it with my family and give you an answer tomorrow!"

~~~

After dinner in the evening, the family discussed the issue of carrying bricks from the brick yard.

A'niang advised him that since she was at home, he didn't have to worry.

Moreover, this job is rare. Except for coal mining in the mining area, which pays a little higher, the wages for most jobs are not high. They are dirty and tiring, and can only maintain basic livelihood.
