Chapter 974: Don't Come Back

The five million was not spent, nor could it be kept in his hands, so it was taken back by Lu Rongrong, who euphemistically called it: "Shift fee!"

Well, although this may be the most expensive class fee in the world, to be honest, Hu Xiaoyang really doesn't care much.

Overnight, the world was turned upside down.

The simple boy felt as if he had been completely reborn.

Going back to the small town again, recalling what I thought was a huge difficulty at the beginning, but I found it funny.

It's just some trivial things that forced me to this point.

Now Hu Xiaoyang feels that even without Yang Ji's help, he can handle everything well.

Before returning, Hu Xiaoyang called and knew that his parents were still in the hospital and there was no one at home, so he was not in a hurry to go home.

Walking slowly in the secluded street, there was a sudden roar in front of him.

It was the construction site where he worked before.

When going out this time, Hu Xiaoyang met all kinds of people.

In Hu Xiaoyang's opinion, Yang Ji is a very nice man, but he is ridiculed as "the amiable big Yang Ji". When he was on the boat, Yang Ji took good care of him.

I always feel that I should be superior, noble and glamorous, but in fact, I am a foodie Nan who is too lazy to die.

The hot-blooded boy Chen Haocong is teasing, and Lu Rongrong pretends to be black-bellied...

And although it is very funny and always forced to go bankrupt, in fact, everyone admires it privately, and thinks it is very powerful, the big bear Cyril who has fought and defeated repeatedly.

In it, there is Uncle Ma, a master of routines, Travis, an ad madman, failures, successes, frustrations and joys.

It seems to be another world completely. In that world, there is nothing impossible, and there is nothing you dare not say or think.

In that world, if you go bankrupt today, you can sit on 100 million assets tomorrow, and then go bankrupt in an instant.

In that world, genius is just the most common title. In that world, everyone seems to be omnipotent, but they all seem to be funny.

Even though that world and that environment are so good, even though this place makes me feel frightened and sad, but when I come back here again, I still feel a sense of intimacy permeating my body.

After all, this is my hometown.

Walking through the gate of the construction site, Hu Xiaoyang saw his master at a glance, the old migrant worker Master Qu who brought him into the industry.

At the age of sixty, I still have to work hard for my children.

Every meal is supported by meat so that I can work hard. My waist is already rickety. I lie on a hard plank bed at night, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep. The doctor said that if I do hard work again, I may be paralyzed.

But he is still here, selling his only valuable thing that is getting less and less, strength.

Master Qu said that in his life, he built countless high-rise buildings, but none of them belonged to him.

Master Qu said that his children are not filial. If he is really paralyzed, he will not live. Just put a bottle of pesticide on it, and it will be over once, so as not to suffer and burden the children.

Master Qu said that there is a wine bottle under his bed that contains pesticides, and he can reach it with his hand.

Master Qu said that his grandson is very cute and sensible, and he knows how to love him, although every time he visits him, he always asks him for money. The old man saved money for drinks, money for cigarettes, and the rest before dinner, just to let his grandson see him more.

Master Qu said that his greatest hope is to see his grandson get married, and his bigger dream is to see a great-grandson.

However, the day before Hu Xiaoyang left, Master Qu's grandson was sent to the juvenile detention center because he was injured and disabled in a fight.

That day, the light in Master Qu's eyes had already gone out, like an extinguished lamp.

He took a day of sick leave, and Hu Xiaoyang didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to him.

But now, seeing Master Qu, Hu Xiaoyang suddenly felt that he had returned home, to the small town where he was born and raised.

"Xiaoyang?" Master Qu also saw Hu Xiaoyang standing at the gate of the construction site, his eyes widened, "You're back!"

"Master!" Hu Xiaoyang regarded Master Qu as a master.

When he first came to the construction site, no one helped him or took care of him. It was Master Qu who taught him how to do it.

"Why hasn't the shift been changed yet?" Hu Xiaoyang knew that in summer, it was too hot during the day, and many construction sites were rushing to work at night.

"Delay work for an hour." Master Qu took a breath, and Hu Xiaoyang took the shovel from Master Qu.

Yang Ji said that Hu Xiaoyang is a hard worker.

That is, people who are willing to expend physical energy to work.

On the boat, he also stretched out his hand to help him when he saw anything, unlike the little fat man Yuan Shang, who didn't help the oil bottle when it fell down.

Hu Xiaoyang also felt that he was. He was diligent since he was a child, and he didn't think it was so great to go to France and become an invisible rich man.

Pick up the shovel and get to work sneakily.

Watching his apprentice work, Master Qu chatted with him casually: "How many days have you been out?"

"Seven or eight days."

"You said you went to school?"

"Go to school and have a look."

"Everyone says your school is very good and developed."

"Okay."

"Better than the teacher college in our city?"

"better."

"Hey, it's really developed. I'll celebrate it with you someday."

"Um."

As they talked, they fell silent. The master and apprentice didn't talk much.

"It's nothing." Master Qu said after a while, "I didn't suffer."

Hu Xiaoyang suddenly felt that his tears were about to come down.

Master Qu sat next to him, took a deep breath, and relieved his old waist. He touched his pocket and took out a piece of cigarette paper, but he couldn't find any tobacco. He sighed and put it back.

Hu Xiaoyang took out a few boxes from his backpack.

"what's that?"

"Tobacco, it's from France. It's expensive over there, and everyone rolls cigarettes."

"Also went to France? What about Gallic chicken?" Master Qu also went to elementary school.

"No, it was given by a classmate."

"What are you doing for me? We are not used to smoking high-end French cigarettes, so you keep them as gifts."

"It's not high-end, so I bought it from a roadside stall."

"Then I'll take a look, and I'll just pinch a little." Master Qu stretched out his hand that was about to stretch out to take it, opened the box clumsily, rolled one slowly, and took a deep breath, breathing like a bellows as loud.

When Hu Xiaoyang was shopping on the street, he saw French cigarette papers, paper knives, and tobacco.

He thought of Master Qu who always smoked hand-rolled cigarettes.

"Hey, we've smoked foreign cigarettes too..." Master Qu leaned on the mound of soil, closed his eyes, his breathing stopped, smoke curled up from his nostrils, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Take it back and give it to your father." Master Qu repacked the box and handed it to Hu Xiaoyang.

"I bought two boxes, and there are more." Hu Xiaoyang said.

Master Qu's chicken-claw-like hands grabbed the box, wanting to put it in, but didn't want to.

The grandson was arrested and a lot of money was collected up and down. Master Qu hadn't smoked for several days.

"I bought it for you." Hu Xiaoyang emphasized.

Hu Xiaoyang has no intention of suggesting that Master Qu quit smoking.

This old man, if he quit smoking, what else is there?

In the dark, Master Qu's voice gradually became lower and lower, as if he was squinting at Hu Xiaoyang's work, but he didn't seem to be.

Only the flickering fire and the pervasive smell of tobacco showed that he was still there.

"When will we go again?"

"In a few days."

Another long silence.

"What do you want to do before you leave? Don't come to the construction site."

"not coming."

Finally, the bell for dismissal rang, and the workers cleaned up and were ready to go to work.

Master Qu lived in the work shed, Hu Xiaoyang sent him back, and then Master Qu said to Hu Xiaoyang: "Go out and do something, do it well, buy a house, take your parents out, don't come back, I don't miss this place."

"Let's go, I won't invite you to sit in, it's dirty inside."

Hu Xiaoyang picked up his backpack and walked out of the construction site, just like every time he left work.

Go out and do something, so what to do?

Xiao Yuanzi said that he was going to buy a big house by the sea and see beautiful women every day.

Zhao Zhuang went to Chuncheng, he said he wanted to change the fate of his people.

Chen Haocong and the others already had their own business.

And him, what is he going to do?

"The bear must die"?

It's just a game, eyeball economy, it won't last long, and it can't be regarded as a career.

Hu Xiaoyang has an urgent feeling that Nanming has changed his destiny, and he also wants to do something, something great, that can change someone's destiny.

In this world, there are too many people living in a pitiful and respectable way, but no one changes their fate.

No matter how pitiful and admirable they are, they are just the background color on other people's drawing boards.

Nobody cares.

In the next few days, Hu Xiaoyang was busy with his family affairs.

Injured father, hysterical mother, Hu Xiaoyang dealt with these things that he found difficult to deal with before with a strange calm gaze.

It all fell into place, and it was astonishingly simple.

In the final analysis, Hu Xiaoyang summed up the reasons for himself, and he has money.

Hu Xiaoyang hadn't thought about what he was going to do, he thought he was a person without dreams.

He called Zhao Zhuang, who had the best relationship with him, and asked him, "Do you still need help? I'm fine."

"I want it, I want it too much! Come to Chuncheng to find me!" Zhao Zhuang was so busy that he didn't touch the ground.

Zhao Zhuang made a plan, after two days to settle down, he will go to Spring City.

After finishing everything, Hu Xiaoyang walked out of the hospital and walked to the construction site.

It's time for the master to get off work. I treat the master to a meal today, and I will leave in a few days.

Seeing the crowd leaving work, Hu Xiaoyang stepped forward and asked the workers, "Where is my master?"

"Master Qu is gone."

"ah?"

"The scaffolding fell down the day before yesterday. Master Qu didn't make it through, and he will die soon in the hospital."

Hu Xiaoyang stood there with his mouth open, his two fists opened, clenched, and opened again.

Want to say something, want to scold something, but can't say a word, can't swear a word.

The tears seemed to be blocked by something, and they couldn't flow out.

He seemed to see Master Qu smoking a cigarette on and off in the dark.

He seemed to hear Master Qu say to him: "It's nothing, I didn't suffer."

He seemed to hear Master Qu sighing: "Don't come back..."

I want to change someone's fate, but the person I want to change the most is not waiting for me.
