After the busy farming season, everyone started going to work.
Qiuhua stayed at her master's house and devoted herself to learning embroidery.
My father could bring home thirty-five dollars every month, and our family's situation improved a lot.
Erhua hasn't decided what to do yet, so he just takes care of all the farm work at home.
Dahua went to work in a brick factory. He looked forward to the dawn every day and wished he could just live in the factory.
All his motivation comes from the busy figure in the accounting office.
That’s right, Zhao Xiaojuan also went to work in the brick factory.
Dahua worked the day shift a few days ago, and walked a distance with Zhao Xiaojuan every day after work.
The two of them didn't talk much, they just walked back slowly. Just by walking this distance together that day, Dahua felt full of energy, as if he hadn't done any work that day.
Even though he recently started working the night shift, Dahua would come early in the evening because Zhao Xiaojuan was still working the day shift.
He still walked this distance with her, and then walked back, took a nap on the straw in the corner, and got up to go to work in the middle of the night.
The young man in his early twenties is full of energy!
Every day when Dalazi arrived, he would see Dahua sleeping in the corner. He was happily immersed in his dreams, but someone felt unhappy.
The night shift runs from 10 pm to 7 am the next morning. At around 2 am, the cafeteria will give everyone a big white steamed bun, which is a unique benefit for the night shift.
Usually the fire in the brick kiln is not very strong at this time, and everyone is busy eating steamed buns. After eating, they roll down on the straw in the corner to take a secret rest.
Sometimes Dalazi would still squeeze towards Dahua, but not intentionally, so he couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Dahua and his four or five family members had finished a steamed bun and were sitting on the straw pile in a daze.
Dalazi stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, and a white steamed bun appeared under Dahua's nose.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat it."
Dahua looked at the steamed bun and then at the spicy sauce. He felt no gratitude in his heart, but only a bit of trouble.
"I don't want to eat, so you eat it. We still have work to do later, so you should fill your stomach!"
Dahua moved back a bit, and when Dalazi saw this, his face turned pale and blue.
"It's just a broken steamed bun and you're still giving it away. If you don't eat it, I'll eat it!"
As the short, beggar-like child was about to take the steamed bun, Da Lazi, in a rage, threw the bun at Da Hua's chest and shouted at the short, beggar-like child in a harsh voice, "You wish! I wouldn't even feed it to a dog!"
Okay, now Dahua is being scolded as well.
The steamed bun bounced lightly on Dahua's chest and fell to the ground, covered with dust.
Dahua picked it up with heartache, carefully peeled off the outer layer of the bun, and ate it in three or two bites.
Of course, he wouldn't eat Da Lazi's food for free, and he would definitely return the favor when the opportunity arose. He was very clear about this matter.
Before seven o'clock in the morning, Dahua had already shaken off the dust on his body and washed his face and hands with water.
A night of hard work left no trace of fatigue on this young face.
Everyone in the same class had already rushed out the door, only Dahua was still slowly packing his things.
Even slower than him is Da Lazi.
Before he even walked to the gate, a familiar figure was already waiting there.
This is not a coincidence, but a small encounter set up by lovers that everyone knows about.
"Brother, I will go back with you."
Before he could speak, an unwelcome voice came from behind him.
Dahua and Zhao Xiaojuan looked back and saw Dalazi holding his head up stubbornly, like a fat and proud fighting cock.
“…”
Dahua was speechless for a moment, but Zhao Xiaojuan didn't mind.
"You two should go back together so that we can take care of each other on the way."
"This... there's nothing much to take care of... I know the roads well..."
"Why is there nothing to look after? Brother, don't think I don't need any help just because I'm big. I'm a coward!"
As Da Lazi spoke, he stood beside Dahua without moving, and there was no sign of embarrassment on his face.
Zhao Xiaojuan smiled. She took out a paper bag from her cloth bag and handed it to Dahua, saying, "I'm bringing you some braised beef in soy sauce. You're tired after working all night. Eat something on the way."
Then she looked at the big spicy pepper and said with a smile, "Sheng, you eat some too."
Dahai took the paper bag, hesitated for a while, and had no choice but to leave.
Looking at the two people's backs gradually walking away, Zhao Xiaojuan sighed slightly.
It’s not because of Lin Asheng’s sudden appearance, nor is it because of the road we can’t walk together.
Because the two of them are not destined to be together.
Everyone in the brick factory knew what Dalazi was thinking, but Zhao Xiaojuan didn't care.
The problem between her and Dahua cannot be solved by having one more or one less little mermaid.
If Dahua is determined, then even if Dalazi rushes him, he will not waver at all;
If he is undecided, then Zhao Xiaojuan's holding on tight will be useless.
Zhao Xiaojuan is a smart person who has a clear understanding of emotions and human nature;
She was not smart enough to understand the simple truth of marrying someone of equal social status.
She couldn't care less about anything else at the moment, only longingly looking at the road she and Dahua walked every day, a fork in the road that would eventually lead them apart.
"Brother, please don't come so early every day. There's no chance for Zhao Xiaojuan and you."
Da Lazi speaks harshly and is born stupid and simple-minded.
Dahua said nothing, but cursed in his heart: "No hope, no hope! You are the only one who knows that there is no hope. Don't I know it too? You are the one who wants to talk nonsense!"
"Even if you and I can't be together, the same goes for you and Zhao Xiaojuan." When it comes to lack of tact, Dalazi ranks second and no one dares to rank first.
"You'd better not come so early every day. It's better to sleep more at home, otherwise your body won't be able to take it."
Dahua stopped, kicked a small stone far away, then reached for another one with his toes and crushed it under his soles.
"Okay, I heard everything you said. If I were tired, I wouldn't go so early. I don't feel tired now. I have energy all over my body."
Da Lazi opened his mouth and felt bored.
Dahua took a paper package of braised beef in soy sauce home. Xiaohua happily opened the package, picked up a piece of beef with his dark little fingers and put it into his mouth. The moment he took the bite, his two black eyeballs rolled around.
"It smells so good! Brother, I want more!"
Xiaohua yelled and picked up another piece and put it in his mouth, then another piece, until his mouth could not close, and his saliva dripped as he chewed.
"Don't eat it anymore!" Mom appeared in time and saved the bag of beef.
She closed the paper bag and stuffed it into Dahua's pocket, saying, "This is yours. I didn't eat a single bite myself. I gave it all to the little monkey."
Dahua smiled as he held the paper bag, opened it, pinched out a piece and wanted to feed it to his mother.
"I don't eat it. I don't like it. You eat it."
Mom shook her head. She had already heard that Zhao Xiaojuan was also at the brick factory.
She said nothing, and they had to solve the matter themselves.
"Eat it, Mom, try it!"
Unable to persuade Dahua, Mom had to try a piece. The sauce was rich and the meat was fresh. It was really delicious!
