The cold wind whizzes the sound of the earth, the lush trees have been covered with thick frost, there are no wandering birds in the woods, but the village located in the mountains is very quiet. Nearly, it has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger.
The people who work outside have returned to the village one after another. They walked on the road in large and small bags, looking from a distance like a colorful color dotted in the mountains and forests.
At the entrance of the village, they were greeted by elderly parents and young children. They have not seen each other for the first time in a year. At this time of the year, their faces are filled with happy smiles and their eyes are also moist.
Wang Qiaoying looked at the couple coming home. She was sincerely happy, because she and her husband worked together in the past few years, and returned home at this time of the year, but this year her husband was alone on a construction site outside the city. , She stayed in the village.
This mountain village is poor and backward. If you want to change its destiny, you can only go out of the mountain and work hard. They want their children to get out of this mountain.
And it costs a lot to feed a family and only relying on men is not enough.
Wang Qiaoying's husband, Liu Erxi, is an ordinary putty worker on a construction site. She followed her husband and learned how to scrape putty. The couple can save a lot of money by working together all year round.
The main reason why Wang Qiaoying didn't go on the construction site with her husband this year was mainly because her husband had gone too far. He changed from a yellow hat to a red hat and became a small head on the construction site.
It is said that it takes several years to study hard to be an official. Liu Erxi has been working on the construction site for these years and it is worthwhile.
Liu Erxi also learned to posture after putting on Red Hat. He no longer does the dirty work of scraping putty. He also does not let his wife do it. He said that he was afraid of affecting his identity and losing him, so Wang Qiaoying responded. Arrived at my hometown.
Wang Qiaoying and her husband Liu Erxi both grew up in poor mountains, and neither of them had read much.Liu Erxi is quite tall and a little thin, giving outsiders the impression of being a spirited person and working abruptly.
Liu Erxi worked as a small worker on the construction site when he was young, and later learned electric welding from his master, and only learned how to scrape putty after getting married with Wang Qiaoying. He took it seriously when others said electric welding was bad for his health.
Wang Qiaoying is also a neat woman. She has short hair. She is a bit fat and dark in skin. She is pretty handsome. Although she is not tall, she works a little unambiguously. She lives a real life. Rural women.
Wang Qiaoying, who came home from the construction site, is always busy. She has cultivated several acres of wasteland at home to grow. There is a breeding farm on the mountain. Wang Qiaoying usually comes here to work.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, she began to prepare food for the New Year. She was croquettes , fried tofu, and killing chicken and fish.
She always thinks of her husband on the construction site. She envy those couples who come home as a company, and envy their harmony between husband and wife.
Recently, Wang Qiaoying was absent-minded. There was a big sister who was cooking at the construction site and she had a good relationship with her at the construction site, and the two people always kept in touch.
Wang Qiaoying has been in contact with this eldest sister after leaving the construction site. She told Wang Qiaoying that her husband Liu Erxi walked frequently with a local woman on the construction site and the relationship was still unclear.
The eldest sister will not say anything more vaguely. Because of this matter, Wang Qiaoying has been absent-minded for the past few days, often working and cooking, and recalled the scene when she first went to the construction site with her husband.
After leaving the two children with the elderly, Wang Qiaoying and her husband came to the construction site together. The couple are southerners. In order to earn more money, they went to work on a construction site in the north.
The jobs on the construction site are mainly men. They are all big men, and there are very few jobs suitable for women.
Women in the north rarely work on construction sites, and there are too few cases where couples come to construction sites at the same time.
Most of the wives on the construction site came from the south,At that time people often said: Why do you think southerners are rich? Southerners can endure hardships, earn money, and are willing to eat.
Just a few days after coming to the construction site, Wang Qiaoying caught a cold and was not very well. The climate here has a great influence on her, but the life on the construction site is more difficult for her to accept than the climate.
When she came to the construction site, she found that the eldest sister who was cooking in the cafeteria and her two women, the others were a bunch of men, the eldest sister told her: two couples came to work on the construction site before, not long Time wife will go home.
Wang Qiaoying gritted her teeth and said: What's the matter? We are not afraid of anything except being poor.
The construction site is not too big. At first, there was no toilet for women. Later, a few boards were specially built to build a toilet for women. Sometimes workers went to the wrong place, which often shocked Wang Qiaoying.
When the men on the construction site saw Wang Qiao's handsome appearance, they all cast envious eyes. A group of men often whistled at her, and Wang Qiaoying bowed her head and blushed and pretended not to see.
Liu Erxi often stared at these men angrily. His gaze was fierce like a lion guarding food, and he was getting goose bumps all over his body.
Wang Qiaoying followed her husband to shave putty. She learned quickly and got started quickly. The two of them were inseparable most of the time.
The elders on the construction site often talked to Wang Qiaoying secretly, and they all wanted to have such a wife in their hearts.
Liu Erxi is afraid that his wife will suffer. He always guards Wang Qiaoying. He is the old fried dough stick on the construction site. He understands the hearts of the men on the construction site.
The accommodation environment on the construction site has always been very poor, and the houses are also the kind of temporary and color steel houses . There are about eleven houses. Come personally.
The sanitation of the dormitory has always been worrying. Various flavors are mixed together. I don’t know why it has always been the case. Workers can work hard and are too lazy to clean the house.It's not an exaggeration to say that it's dirty and pigsty.
There is no extra room for Wang Qiaoying's couple to live in. The head of the construction site said: How can there be so much attention? Who will look at you with a curtain to block it? The couple used to sleep like this.
This is the only way for the couple. Liu Erxi knows that what the other party said is right. There is no difference between a couple and one person at the construction site. If they can't overcome the difficulties here, they can only leave, but just wronged their daughter-in-law.
Wang Qiao's handsome appearance made the men on the construction site linger. Many masters hoped that she could be allocated to their own dormitory. When they talked about this, everyone laughed from ear to ear, but when I thought about the food guard beside her All the lions sighed again.
This group of lonely men often talk about women. This is also a good medicine for them to pass the time, but they can only get over the addiction.
The dormitory where the couple live has four elders, and there are six people in total. The couple chose the two innermost bunks. This is also a bed for four people on the site to take care of the couple. Give them two to sleep.
Wang Qiaoying put all her luggage on the upper bunk. She tied a rope on both the beds, and then pulled up a large red cloth at both ends to block it.
From then on, inside the red cloth is the venue for the couple. She cleaned it up spotlessly and organized.
Every day she also cleans the hygiene outside the red cloth. She really can't understand the pigsty here. Her behavior makes the elders in the same dormitory blush.
Every day, the house is very clean. People passing by are often full of praise. Everyone is envious and wants to live in.
Wang Qiaoying often said to the men in the house: living under one roof is a family, you elders, don't dislike me as a woman getting in the way.
In the first few months when Wang Qiaoying came to the construction site, she always liked to walk with her head down. She blushed whenever she met the expectant glances from the workers, and she always felt very shy.
In the first few months, Wang Qiaoying and her husband both slept in separate beds. She thought that going out to work is better than at home. Besides, there are many people in the house, and it is inevitable that two people sleep together.
The dormitories are all connected to each other. The voice of the next room can be heard very clearly, and a little bit of movement can not be hidden. Sometimes the breathing sound of sleeping is so clear.
Wang Qiaoying never sleeps in the same bed with her husband.
That night Liu Erxi took the initiative to lie down on his wife's bed. The small bed could not accommodate two people. Wang Qiaoying kicked Liu Erxi out of the bed.
Liu Erxi clutched his ass and grinned. The workers in the room were unconsciously happy. Several workers gave each other a glance and went out one after another.
Wang Qiaoying blushed and said quietly: "Let's see if the door is closed."
"De Ling" Liu Erxi ran like a happy mangy to lock the door.
Liu Erxi put his bed and Wang Qiaoying's bed together.
After that, the two of them never separated the bed again. Wang Qiaoying added a layer of blue cloth behind the red cloth. There were two curtains blocking her feeling at ease.
The two layers of cloth seem to separate a world, but nothing is separated. In normal life, Wang Qiaoying has gradually become accustomed to this kind of life, and she will stay in her own child after work. In space.
The workers are also telling each other about work and life, and everyone does not disturb each other and is safe.
I often discuss women's topics before going to bed at night, and now a few people in the dormitory are silent.
Some swear words are rarely said. These illiterate men at least understand the sense of proportion between people. They are in the same dormitory, and everyone has a tacit understanding.
Whenever Liu Erxi took a pack of cigarettes for everyone to smoke at night, the four of them all understood. They took Liu Erxi's cigarettes out of the house and went for a walk outside.
Spring goes to winter,In the cold and hot, from a piece of mud to a high-rise building on the ground, countless workers sweat and build the high-rise building, and bricks and tiles are inseparable from the shadow of the construction workers.
The same work is always repeated at the construction site.
After dragging her tired figure down the construction site every day, Wang Qiaoying always wondered how much money she made today? Then I wondered how much money can I earn in a year? She smiled and wrote down how many things she did today in her notebook.
Liu Erxi has to check her work every day. The couple is basically unimpeded, and rarely breaks work. No matter how tired, when you think of the two children in your hometown, and the elderly waiting for their return home, there are With strength, I feel content.
After staying on the construction site for a long time, Wang Qiaoying no longer has the shyness that he had when he first came, and no longer blushes when he meets her co-workers joking with her.
Inconveniences in daily life, such as going to the toilet, bathing, washing clothes, sickness, etc., she has also adapted to overcome.
Recalling the scene of the construction site is vivid...Wang Qiaoying had already fished out the fried meatballs, and then put the cut tofu in. She recalled the past and complained about her husband who was not returning home.
She thought about the unclear woman next to her husband, and her heart became more and more disturbed. She felt more and more that her husband had changed and became farther and farther away from herself
How many men had secretly beaten Wang Qiaoying's idea, and they all secretly gave Qiubo secretly. At that time, Wang Qiaoying was a sweet pastry.
The elders on the construction site will also have mouth addiction to her: Let's live with me after I've been with Erxi, I can't bear to let you work.
Wang Qiaoying also laughed at it, and she also justified the other party: not talking, not laughing, not having fun.
There are often individual workers who take advantage of her when no one is around. Some take the opportunity to take advantage of her.
When encountering excessive actions, Wang Qiaoying picked up the putty shovel and wiped it on the opponent.
At this time, the man will avoid it with interest: Just kidding, don't tell your family.
"Just kidding and ask you to eat putty powder"
"You feed me and I will eat it." The worker left with a grin.
There are many scenes like this. Whenever her husband is away, the workers like to joke with her, but they all know how to do it. Wang Qiaoying will not tell Liu Erxi about these things. She doesn't want to cause trouble.
In recent years, Liu Erxi's contacts have also widened, and he has become a small head at the construction site. This is a good thing, but Wang Qiaoying can't be happy.
Wang Qiaoying is afraid that he will not be able to grasp herself, she thinks that being a leader is not as good as earning money as a worker.
She often thinks of some leaders who were arrested and sentenced because of various problems, and some were paid by the workers for debts. He was afraid that her husband's small physique would not be able to handle them.
Unexpectedly, after her husband came back from the construction site, something happened to her husband. Wang Qiaoying felt very wronged. She wondered if the tofu in the pot had been fried.
The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. Every household seems to have entered an atmosphere of reunion. The neighbors are busy. The man is responsible for killing pigs and sheep to do some hard work, while the women are doing some hard work. Slapped next to him.
Someone asked Wang Qiaoying why her husband didn't go home yet? Wang Qiaoying reluctantly smiled and said: It should be soon.
After saying this, she sent a text message to her husband and asked him when he would go home. After a few hours, the husband replied: "It's the end of the year."
But there are still busy figures, and many people who want to make money have to work until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
The construction site is also like a military camp, with iron-fighting camps and running water soldiers. Workers have walked and changed waves. Once a construction site is completed, they will have to change to another place.
Wang Qiaoying felt a little tired. She put down the work in her hands and extinguished the fire under the oil pan. She went to the house and lay down without wiping her hands. She fell asleep after a while.
In a daze, she bought a ticket and set foot on the road to the northern construction site.
Liu Erxi is wearing a brand new red hat, looking at the workers under his hand, he no longer does the work himself, he uses more than a dozen workers under his hand.
This year he has gained a lot of weight, and he made more money this year than he has worked so hard to shave putty for several years.
Liu Erxi wears clean casual clothes every day. The shoes are polished very brightly, and people start to walk with their waists upright, and they have a sense of superiority.
The workers he uses are all local, and they are all found for him by a woman named Li Hongmei, and he gives money directly to this woman.
It is this Li Hongmei that makes him difficult to extricate himself step by step, but also makes him swell step by step.
He has completely fallen into the quagmire of this woman, step by step on the wrong path, so many years later when he staggered, his wife would often beat him with this matter, which was a scar in his heart.
Liu Erxi sent a text message to Li Hongmei: Is your leader at home? Is it convenient to go out?
After a while, Li Hongmei replied: He slept like a dead pig. Any instructions, Brother Liu? Li Hongmei is accustomed to calling him Brother Liu kindly.
"Come out for a drive! I'll drive to pick you up" Liu Erxi recently bought a new car, and every time he picks up Li Hongmei, he sends a text message to him in advance.
Li Hongmei quietly put on a light makeup at home, sprayed on some perfume, and looked at her eyebrows before going out.
Li Hongmei usually goes to the construction site in the evening to be busy with business. The so-called business is to work with the contractor. There are a few jobs today, and how many jobs will be needed tomorrow. After a good job, she can arrange workers. This is her main concern. Work.
is like this every day, so she is confident to go out at night, but she can't go home too late, she always grasps the time.
Liu Erxi’s car has been parked on the side of the road,Li Hongmei quietly sat in the co-pilot.
The first woman to ride this car since I bought it was Li Hongmei, and Wang Qiaoying didn't have time to ride it.
The car smelled of perfume from Li Hongmei. Liu Erxi swept Li Hongmei's shoulders, and Li Hongmei fell into Liu Erxi's arms. The ambiguous smell in the air and the smell of perfume were mixed together.
The song was put in the car, the wheels had started, Li Hongmei leaned in Liu Erxi's arms, and Liu Erxi also fell into the other side's gentle town step by step.
Two hours later, the car returned to its original place. Liu Erxi took out a large sum of money and handed it to Li Hongmei: This month’s wages, and there will be a few more jobs tomorrow.
Li Hongmei took the money and put it in her pocket without counting the weight. She tidyed up her clothes and hair and got out of the car.
Li Hongmei knows many heads of construction sites, and Liu Erxi is just one of the people who impressed him deeply.
She is responsible for temporarily finding people on the construction site. What she does is the role of the middleman, and the earning is also the tap of the wages. She moves on various construction sites every day.
Li Hongmei and Liu Erxi are very familiar, and the two have a tacit understanding with each other.
Wang Qiaoying took the train for a day and a night to the construction site. She did not eat or wash her face. She appeared listlessly in front of Liu Erxi.
This surprised Liu Erxi. He never thought that his wife would come suddenly, and he didn't even say hello before coming.
"What are you doing here when the Chinese New Year is about to come?"
Wang Qiaoying only said one sentence: I am bored at home alone and want to come and see you.
Liu Erxi's current dormitory is a single room. There is a heating stove in the house and a magnificent desk. The house is clean and tidy. It is very different from the dormitory of the workers.
Wang Qiaoying looked at this dormitory, and she remembered the dormitory she lived in before. It was a shotgun change, but she was not happy at all.
Liu Erxi hurriedly moved over. A table and a bed happened to fit together: this is enough to sleep two people.
"Your table was prepared in advance? How did you know that I was coming?" Wang Qiaoying questioned him with doubts.
Liu Erxi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: This is the table for eating, I think it is as high as a bed.
When Wang Qiaoying was washing her husband, she found several long hairs, all of which were dyed yellow hair. She checked her own hair and she never dyed it herself.
Wang Qiaoying confirmed the news that the elder sister of the cafeteria had revealed to her. After she came to the construction site, she wanted to ask the elder sister who was cooking in the cafeteria, but the other party kept silent, denying what she had said before, which also puzzled Wang Qiaoying. .
After living for a few days, Liu Erxi excused that there was too much work on the construction site and wanted her to go back, but Wang Qiaoying wanted to go back with him, and the two also quarreled several times about it.
Every evening, Wang Qiaoying finds her husband and a woman holding a notebook at the gate of the construction site.
She looked at this tall woman, dressed in a very fashionable dress, with her curly hair and a gorgeous bag on her shoulders. She couldn't see if she was more handsome than herself when she was far away, but she was dressed up from the other person. She was reminded of those celebrities who would dress up on TV. From a distance, she could hear the sound of women's high heels.
Wang Qiaoying didn't seem to have noticed any clues. She looked at her husband every day, and she seemed to have changed a lot in her conversation. She once wondered if this was her husband Liu Erxi?
They all say that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread for thousands of miles.
After Wang Qiaoying stayed for ten days, thinking about a lot of things waiting for her at home, she was ready to go back, but she did not find any clues.
But something happened this day.
Li Hongmei’s husband drank some horse urine and came to the construction site to make a big noise. He lay on the ground and splashed and rolled. The soil covered his whole body. He completely ignored him, and he didn’t care if there were many people. Regardless of embarrassment.
He vomited all over the floor, covered with filth, everyone present covered their noses, and he kept repeating in his mouth: My wife has suffered, and my wife has suffered at your construction site.
Everyone gathered in a group and didn't understand what it meant to suffer. Anyone who knew how to laugh secretly watched the excitement.
Li Hongmei's husband is like a shrew. After the crowd is dismissed, he is still making trouble here, never telling what he wants?
Liu Erxi hid in the room shivering. There is a stove in his room but his legs are still shaking. Wang Qiaoying sees the situation outside and understands everything.
Li Hongmei's husband got into Liu Erxi's car and couldn't survive. He asked Liu Erxi to take him home. He stressed that Liu Erxi should take him home.
Liu Erxi's call to Li Hongmei has been turned off.
In the end, Liu Erxi went out with his wife's accompaniment. The couple sent back home, and then the couple walked back to the construction site. As for why the car didn't come back, the couple didn't mention it.
Neither of them slept this night. Wang Qiaoying sat on the bed wiping tears. Her tears flowed unconsciously. She was not noisy, and the room was quiet and terrible.
Liu Erxi squatted on the ground smoking a cigarette. The cigarette butt was thrown on the ground. A pack of cigarettes was empty. He picked up the cigarette butt and smoked again. The couple remained silent for several hours.
Even after smoking the cigarette butt, Liu Erxi knelt on the ground and sobbed. Wang Qiaoying wiped away the tears and said: Go home tomorrow.
When she woke up, it was dark outside the window. The two children called her to get up for dinner. Wang Qiaoying realized that she was dreaming, and her forehead was sweaty.
The world is cold at the end of the year, after Laba is the year, set off firecrackers, post Spring Festival couplets, reunite and celebrate the New Year.
Wang Qiaoying went to wash her face to make herself sober, and she felt that the dream she had had become more and more realistic.
She brought the prepared meals to the table and prepared to greet the children to wash their hands and eat. She also recalled the dream she had had.
The shouts of the children disrupted her thoughts,It turned out that Liu Erxi went home. The children danced happily and shouted to Dad. Liu Erxi put down the backpack, held one in his left hand, and held one in his right hand for affection back and forth.
Wang Qiaoying fell into the yard with her face drooping and washing water. She did not speak, did not surprise, and did not express.
"Qiaoying, I'm back? Why are you upset?"
"You two wash your hands and eat." Wang Qiaoying shouted at the two children.
Liu Erxi walked into the house with his two children. Liu Erxi had been hungry for a day. He had been in a car for a whole day before he came home and wanted to surprise his wife and children.
Obviously the child was surprised, but Wang Qiaoying was not surprised.
"Why didn't the car come back?"
"Afraid of being unsafe, take the train back for insurance during the New Year."
"Did you lose the car to the woman's husband?"
Liu Erxi looked confused Looking at Wang Qiaoying, he didn't understand what else she said.
Wang Qiaoying told Liu Erxi about the scenes in the dream. She thinks that her husband's behavior on the construction site should be similar to what she dreamed. She just didn't tell her husband that it was her dream.
Liu Erxi blamed her for hysteria , he looked at his wife innocently: Who do you listen to nonsense? It's really idle and unreasonable.
Wang Qiaoying turned out his unwashed clothes and looked repeatedly and did not find long hair, but she was always sure that her husband was okay. She thought that the elder sister of the canteen on the construction site should not lie.
Wang Qiaoying did not tell Liu Erxi what the elder sister of the canteen on the construction site had said, that she did not want her husband to go back to the construction site and cause unhappiness with the other party.
At this time, Liu Erxi's joy of going home is gone. He was furious with his unprovoked accusations against his wife. He put down the tableware and returned to the house, and said as he walked: I think you are just fine looking for trouble, and you are full.
The two children were unidentified so they were eating, Wang Qiaoying and Liu Erxi both lost their appetites.
That night Liu Erxi took out a notebook and a thick wad of money and placed it in front of Wang Qiaoying.
Wang Qiaoying looked at her husband remembering work every day, she checked the account carefully, and finally found that it was almost the same.
"It looks like you are very stingy, and you didn't spend much money for the wild woman!" Wang Qiaoying locked the money in the drawer, and her anger has been more than half gone.
Liu Erxi smoked a cigarette and ignored her.
When she went to bed at night, she said: I will go to the construction site with you after the Chinese New Year. Both of us can earn more.
Liu Erxi said: Come here, so that you don't have to think about it at home. I wanted to let you relax at home.
Liu Erxi sighed and said: I happen to be sleeping in a dormitory alone now.
"Just a single bed?"
"Yes, I sleep alone."
Wang Qiaoying suddenly got up and said: Is there a table in the room that can be put together with the bed?
Both people laughed...
True and false, false and true Wang Qiaoying didn't want to bother, she only knew that the person came back, and the money came back, so she felt relieved.
(end)
Just like that sentence: when false is true, it is true and false, and there is nothing but nothing.
