Chapter 74： Crystal [two more] (how do you plan to ask me...) (1/2)
Qiu Li put down the phone and his whole mind was empty.
Workers behind him urged him to quickly send the cement to the edge of the building.
Qiu Li picked up the trolley in silence, and pushed a bag of cement to the construction site.
Next, he worked extremely **** the construction site, as if every muscle in his body had come to life, and his temples began to jump up suddenly.
The workers resting beside them smiled friendly and said--
”College student, knowing that you are young and strong, take a little leisurely anyway.”
”Yeah, with such exertion, you will soon collapse.”
”Young people are so desperate? For that little salary, it won't be enough.”
...
Qiu Li turned a deaf ear to their words. He needed the vent of strength to keep his mind from thinking about it.
Once the brain is thinking wildly, the body will become disobedient.
The little girl was probably just poking around casually, but Qiu Li's heart was speeding up at 800 yards all day, and every cell in his body became active.
Apart from working harder, Qiu Li has no way to vent.
The work on the construction site was over, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and he got an extra raise today, totaling 800 yuan.
In today's era, manual labor earns no less money than white-collar workers sitting in the office, especially hard labor in harsh environments, and wages are very high, because it is particularly hard.
This is why Qiu Li chose to work on the construction site after he was rejected from a job search by a tutor.
Compared to a low-paying and time-killing part-time job like a waiter, simple and rude manual labor on the construction site can get money faster.
He took a shower on the construction site, changed into a clean white shirt and black trousers, put on the pair of AJ sneakers that Jiang Yu gave him, and tidied up decently.
It looks like a tutor, not a worker on the construction site.
Qiu Li walked out of the construction site and didn't go home directly. He went straight to the business center of Global Century.
In the well-known luxury crystal shop on the first floor of the commercial center, he asked the salesperson to take out the crystal music box that he had already fancyed.
The music box opened, and on the plane that looked like an ice sculpture, there was a crystal ballerina girl, with a slender neck upturned, one leg slightly bent, her hands embracing, like a swan spreading wings, her neck eager to fly.
Half a month ago, Qiu Li saw this music box and immediately liked it.
The girl in the box is much like the girl he hid in his heart.
It's just a five-figure price that discouraged him.
But the part-time job as a tutor was rejected again and again. He was heartbroken and went straight to the construction site, working lifeless day and night. The salary he received in half a month was just enough to buy it.
The salesperson carefully packed up the crystal music box and handed it to Qiu Li.
Qiu Li walked out of the store carrying the heavy gift box, his original heavy body seemed to have become more relaxed, and even his steps...are lighter.
What a joy it is to give a gift to your beloved girl.
...
When Qiuli came home, there was movement in the kitchen. The little girl was stirring the dumplings in the pot with the spatula in her hand.
She wore a cool summer T-shirt, paired with small daisy light yellow high-waist shorts, slender waist, exceptionally slender, well-proportioned muscles and bones, with his large splint on her feet.
The white mist steam was immersed in the kitchen, she was like a princess who was left behind in the world, clean and spotless.
As if perceiving the burning gaze of the man behind him, Jiang Yu turned around and glanced at him: ”Go back.”
”Ok.”
She put down the spatula and turned around to hug him: ”Thank you, come over and let me hug him.”
Qiu Li took a step back subconsciously and said, ”I'd better take a bath first.”
”Why take a shower as soon as you come back?”
”It's too hot outside.”
Qiu Li hid in the bathroom as if running away. Even though he had taken a shower at the construction site, he still felt dirty and unclean, and he dared not touch her.
When transporting the cement, the fingernails were embedded with black plaster and dirty.
He stretched his hand to the front of the faucet, rinsed it with big water, and rubbed it desperately until he rubbed his hand red, breaking his nails desperately to wash...
Sniffing myself, only the smell of sweat is left, it's disgusting, it's dirty...
Qiu Li took off his clothes and threw it aside, turned on the shower head, flushed herself frantically, squeezed a lot of shower gel, and wiped it on her body.
He hadn't noticed it himself, unknowingly... the condition has worsened a lot.
Jiang Yu had been standing by the door, listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.
Thinking of him on the dusty construction site, 40 degrees of temperature, hot sun exposure, and he is doing the heaviest physical work, she feels sad, especially sad.
When I was young, it was really difficult to rely on myself without strength.
Even a seedling needs someone to care for and irrigate it.
Jiang Yu knew that he couldn't go on like this anymore. In this world, he was not alone. Even if his father was in jail, he still had his mother.
Whether in legal responsibility or morality, his mother must bear her own obligations.
Even if he is an adult now, but he lacked care for so many years in the past, doesn't he need compensation?
Suddenly, a harsh voice came from inside the door: ”Xiao Yu.”
”what?”
”Why do you keep standing at the door.”
The bathroom door is made of frosted material, and she can see clearly inside the fuzzy figure standing by the door.
”I…”
Jiang Yu couldn't find words for a while and said, ”I'll just stand up casually.”
Qiuli turned off the shower head and put a bath towel on her body: ”Are you peeking at me?”
”...”
With the warm mist, he walked out of the bathroom, changed into a clean off-white cotton blouse, and repeatedly determined that there was no smell on his body before daring to approach her.
”How many do you see?”
Jiang Yu blushed and defended: ”I didn't watch it, who watched you take a bath!”
