Chapter 111 A New Beginning

"Uh, it's nothing, um, it's a little bit..." Li Tianchou asked himself that he had never seen such a beautiful woman before. He was stunned and spoke a little incoherently.

"I still have to thank you. I'm a little embarrassed today. Why not do this... Sir, please ask where you are. I'll thank you another day." The girl saw that Li Tianchou's gaze was strange. She had seen this kind of look many times, and she was a little repulsive. She thought to herself that no matter how men have this kind of virtue, she couldn't help but feel unhappy, so she deliberately raised her tone.

Li Tianchou secretly felt ashamed when he heard this. Seeing that the beauty looked so unfair, he made the other party underestimate him. He shook his head and said seriously: "It's really not necessary. I work everywhere and have no place to live. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." After that, he turned around and left without waiting for the girl to respond.

"Oh, sir, leave a contact information." The woman in white was surprised and immediately understood that she was afraid that the tone of her voice just now hurt the other party, so she felt a little embarrassed.

Li Tianchou, who had walked seven or eight meters away, waved his hand without looking back, "It's not necessary to meet by chance."

"Yingying, are you okay?" The man in glasses finally found his golden-wire-edged eyes on the side of the road, and ran over with a look of concern.

The girl in white looked at Li Tianchou's back for a moment and was stunned and did not answer.

"Yingying, you..." The man in glasses looked at Li Tianchou who was gradually moving away, "He doesn't accept the thanks? It's a strange person."

The girl sighed, without any response, turned around and looked at the car, "You drive the car back to the company, I'll take a taxi back by myself."

"Why do you drive away? I have called the police for a long time, but I haven't seen any traffic police yet. It's so unreasonable! It's obvious that I was deliberately doing bad things. The public security and investment environment here are very poor. When I go back, I have to talk to the old man. At worst, I can withdraw the investment. I think what they will explain?" The man in glasses complained angrily.

When he saw that the woman in white seemed to have no reaction, the man in glasses hurriedly said, "It's too unsafe for you to go back alone. I'll take a taxi with you."

"Jin Sung, tell my dad, I don't object, but don't always call for withdrawal of investment. My dad doesn't like you like this." The woman in white said in a cold tone, "I'd better take a taxi back by myself, wanting to be alone for a while." As she said that, she reached out to stop a taxi, "You should also be careful." After saying that, the woman in white got into the car door.

The man in glasses thought about what he had just said, and felt very upset, but in the end, he heard that the girl wanted to pay attention to safety, and suddenly became excited. After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and took photos of the damaged car, and then stopped a taxi and left.

...

Li Tianchou walked not far away in a depressed mood and found that the traffic ahead was congested, and the vehicles of various colors lined up in a long queue, and the passage was extremely slow. After a closer look, it turned out that a horizontal road in front was blocked by blue iron sheets, and only a narrow passage was left at the intersection. Could it be that this road was a renovated commercial street?

It seems that it is really easy to find. After taking a few more steps, I saw the slogans on the iron sheet, such as "road fence construction, pay attention to safety", "Pan-Thai construction", "Fushan Commercial Street Renovation Project". It's here, Li Tianchou looked around and then got into a gap in the fence.

It was indeed the construction site inside, and there was a lively scene. Many workers wearing hard helmets were running back and forth, and large construction vehicles were digging the ground, with deafening sounds.

Li Tianchou stopped for a long time and did not find where the shed was. After observing it, he walked towards a row of temporary prefabricated houses, which seemed to be an office or something.

"Hey, hey. What is the young man doing? This is a construction site, it's dangerous!" Li Tianchou had just walked a few steps, and a middle-aged man wearing a yellow hard hat in front waved his hands and shouted loudly.

Li Tianchou stopped, took out the note from his pocket, and waved it. Because the scene was too noisy, he had to shout: "I'll come to work and find Yan Defa."

"Go to work?" The middle-aged man's ears were very good. He seemed to understand what Li Tianchou was here for. He reached out and said, "Come around from the side."

Li Tianchou walked around the man as he said, "Hello, I'm here to work. The master of the labor market asked me to hand over this to Yan Defa." He said that, and handed over the note in his hand.

The middle-aged man was quite strong and honest. He looked less than forty years old, but his skin was also dark. He took the note and looked at it, grinning, "According to it? I'm Yan Defa. You'll touch the right person as soon as you come. Haha, welcome. Come with me." After that, the man turned around and walked towards the row of prefabricated rooms.

"Can I go to work tomorrow?" Yan Defa turned his head and asked.

"No problem." Li Tianchou was very straightforward.

"Okay, I'll go to the shed later and I'll have someone make arrangements for you." Halfway through, Yan Defa was stunned, "Aren't you from another place? Why don't you have luggage?"

"I lost my luggage by car." Li Tianchou was not good at lying, so he bit the bullet and found a reason to make excuses.

Yan Defa didn't care much, and tilted his head and thought for a while, "Mosquito nets and mats are necessary. There are too many mosquitoes on the construction site at night. I have old ones there, so if you don't dislike them, just take them first. Let's make do with the others first."

"Thank you so much." Li Tianchou nodded quickly.

Yan Defa was not polite, and suddenly shouted at a worker pushing a two-wheeler not far away: "Monkey, come here."

Hearing this, the worker turned his head and glanced, then put down the car and ran quickly, "Uncle Defa, call me?"

"New, uh, forgot to ask what your name is?"

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Tianchou."

"Oh, take Xiao Li to the shed, let Lao Dong divide a shop, pack it up, and then take him to me." Yan Defa nodded to Li Tianchou, then left on his own, looking very busy.

As his name suggests, the monkey is thin but looks very capable. He stretched out one hand and smiled at Li Tianchou, "My name is Hou Tao, and everyone calls me a monkey."

"You're new, just call me Tianchou." Li Tianchou also reached out to hold his hands and smiled at the same time, "Is the work shed far away?"

"Not far away, come with me."

Monkey is enthusiastic and talkative. As he talks along the way, Li Tianchou also has some basic understanding of the general situation of the construction site. The renovation project is still in the early stage, and most of it is working in earthwork and roadbed leveling stations, so there are not many technically difficult tasks, and there are major workers who take care of it, so you don’t need to use your brain at all.

When I came to the shed, I was also a simple building, but it was much larger than the office on the construction site in front. There were two large rows of shops, and Li Tianchou roughly estimated that he could sleep more than 40 people. There was not a single figure in the shed, and it was probably all working. Moreover, many of the shops were covered with light boards, no bedding, mats and other supplies, so no one was living there.

Seeing Li Tianchou being a little confused, the monkey told him that the construction site was short of people and that he was still recruiting people everywhere. A foreman simply returned to his hometown to recruit people. One reason was that he was tiring for less money and many people left after working for a few days. Another important reason was that the monkey was vague and had no detailed discussion. Anyway, he reminded Li Tianchou to be careful and it was best not to go out alone at night.

Li Tianchou nodded and said that he had written it down. After all, he was not easy to ask when he met for the first time, but he was wondering in his heart, is the public security here really bad? He couldn't help but remember the scene that happened on the street when he came just now.

The monkey called out a black and fat old man, wearing big shorts, naked upper body, and a towel on his shoulder with invisible color, like a fire-headed army. This is probably the old winter melon that Yan Defa mentioned just now. Li Tianchou felt interesting. The people on the construction site were so straightforward and cute. The nickname was really appropriate to the appearance of a real person.

Lao Donggua was not good at speaking and was a little stuttering, but she could basically understand it. She was also very generous. Li Tianchou asked Li to choose the empty bed at will. Li Tianchou didn't care much, so she chose a bed near the door. Lao Donggua took out a broken notebook from her pocket and wrote it down. After giving a few more instructions, she went out to work.

The monkey was not in a hurry to leave, maybe because he wanted to take this opportunity to take a break. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Tianchou. The two of them squatted at the door of the shed and spit out mist, chatting casually.

Li Tianchou learned a lot of information. It turned out that Yan Defa was the foreman here, and many of them were his fellow villagers, or even from the same village. However, Yan Defa was quite kind and had never owed wages, so the group of people in his hands were still very close to him.

The old Donggua was not only a hot-headed army, but also managed the logistics of this shed. The so-called logistics is all chores including food, sanitation, bed arrangements, etc., and even the worker asked for leave to greet the old Donggua in advance. Li Tianchou was stunned. The old man had a great power. The monkey whispered that the old Donggua and Yan Defa were relatives.

Li Tianchou understood that it is too common to get married on the construction site. Anyway, he is a bare-headed person, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to these things.

After smoking a full cigarette, the two of them came to the row of prefabricated houses on the construction site. Yan Defazheng stood at the door of a house with a bad look. The monkey spitted out his tongue and turned his head and ran away without even calling him.

"Slipped!" Yan Defa cursed, not avoiding Li Tianchou.

The next thing was Yan Defa's explanation to the next day's worker and got a hard hat, work clothes and gloves. Li Tianchou remembered that he was going to call the second gun with the big boss, which sounded very interesting.

Before leaving, Yan Defa took out a roll of mat and mosquito net, "It's a bit old, don't dislike it." Li Tianchou thanked him and returned to the shed without hesitation.

Even if this is a new beginning, Li Tianchou quickly tidied up the bed and sighed casually. He suddenly remembered Xiao Song in his head. I wonder what this girl is doing now? (To be continued)
