Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

Chapter 82 The Evening Glow Is Brilliant
Lin Qingdu spent his first night on the construction site meditating on the bed.

Just after dawn, there was movement on the construction site. The contractor kicked open the door and yelled: "It's breakfast, get up quickly, if you go late, there will be no more!"

The three of them got up immediately, and after a simple wash, they went to eat. By the way, Lin Qingdu didn't have toothbrush or toothpaste, so he just rinsed his mouth with water.

When the three of them got below, they saw a group of workers wearing yellow hard hats, squatting on the ground and grabbing lunch boxes, and there was a long line of people beside them, distributing.

Lin Qingdu lined up in front of him and received a box of lunch, and those who followed suit also squatted on the dirt ridge and started eating.

Not to mention the box lunch at the construction site, it was very dull. After eating, he had to go to work. He was assigned to the downstairs of a building that was under construction, and he was given a small cart to start transporting materials.

There are many things to be transported, sometimes bricks, sometimes cement, and sometimes simple building materials, and the place of work is not fixed. Basically, as long as there is a shout, Lin Qingdu will pull the cart over there.

Meng Changlin and Wang Qiang were also assigned similar jobs. The three of them were scattered around the construction site, and they could only meet and chat for a while during meals.

Lin Qingdu still thought too easily about the work on the construction site, but after working for two days, his body felt tired. First, the food was too poor and the nutrition was insufficient. Second, the old fried dough sticks on the construction site saw that Lin Qingdu's face was tender.

Many workers went to the nearby restaurant because the lunch boxes were too poor. Lin Qingdu felt that the restaurant was too expensive, so he didn't go.

Lin Qingdu didn't know that several young workers had already started gambling in private, betting that he could last for a few days.

It was noon at this time, and the sun was just right. Although it was already late autumn and winter was about to enter, the construction site was still full of steaming heat.Lin Qingdu had just pulled a load of materials, and while he was sitting on the railing wiping his sweat with a towel hanging around his neck, someone not far away called him to help him.

Just as Lin Qingdu was about to go there, he was stopped by an old man who was working with him. The old man turned his face and cursed at the other side: "Damn it, do your own work!"

Lin Qingdu smiled and said: "It's okay, I still have strength, it's good to help out in the past."

"You idiot, how much work you've done today, it's a lie if you're not tired, just rest here!"

Lin Qingdu had no choice but to follow the old man's wishes and sit down to rest.

This old man is also a strange person, although he is dry and thin, dark and small, he can be unambiguous when working. Every time he pulls a cart, he takes off his coat regardless of whether it is cold or not, revealing his distinct ribs. In his words, don't ruin the coat, anyway, he must sweat an acre of work.

He pulled the rope on the trolley to his shoulders, stretched his two slender legs back and forth, the veins on his neck bulged, and the muscles of his body were immediately revealed. In this way, he could miraculously pull up the hill-like trolleys every time.

Moreover, the old man didn't want other people to instruct Lin Qingdu to do that, so he let him rest quickly when he said the most words. When the two got to know each other and chatted, Lin Qingdu realized that the reason why the old man treated him so well was because his grandson was about the same age as him. Every time the old man talked about his grandson, the pride on his face couldn't be concealed.

The old man's son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident early in life, leaving the old and the young to depend on each other. The children were able to study hard by themselves. They were admitted to university and even studied for a master's degree!
That's a master's student, even better than a college student, and the reason why the old man came out to work at such an old age was to subsidize his grandson's living expenses, and he secretly came out to work without telling his grandson.

Lin Qingdu would also show admiration at the right time to satisfy the old man's vanity. Every time he finished chatting, the old man would pat him on the shoulder earnestly and say, "Xiao Lin, you are still young, and you still have to study after earning money. You should at least finish high school. The work on the construction site can't be done for long, and if you don't have someone to do it, it will be useless!"

Lin Qingdu asked: "Then you haven't been working for half your life?"

"I'm different from you, different!"

The old man just waved his hands, but he didn't say what was the difference!

Today, the red sun is slowly sinking on the edge of the city, the sunset glow is extraordinarily gorgeous, and the fire clouds ignite half of the sky.It was half-light and half-dark, and it was not too late.

Lin Qingdu found Meng Changlin and Wang Qiang when he was picking up the lunch box, and they were also reluctant to spend money to eat out.

"I'll take you to a place!"

"Where are you going for dinner?"

"You'll know when you go."

Wang Qiang didn't want to go at first, but Lin Qingdu half pulled and half pushed him and forcibly took him there.

The three of them took the lunch boxes and took the elevator directly to the roof of the building.

A thick metal beam extended to the outside, Lin Qingdu pointed to the beam with his chin, "Look at your courage, do you dare to go there?"

Ordinary people would be so frightened that their legs would limp just looking at the height below. These two people really looked normal and walked up directly.

"Oh, be careful!"

Lin Qingdu hurriedly made a sound, and the two walked quite steadily until they reached the middle of the beam and sat down.

As soon as they sat down, Lin Qingdu also came over, and the three of them sat side by side on the tall building, watching the sunset in the sky.

The light at dusk is golden and far away, and the setting sun seems to be flowing in front of me, reflecting with the clear blue sky in the distance.

The orange glow shone on the faces of the three of them, and Lin Qingdu smiled extraordinarily coldly, "How is it here, the scenery is good!"

"That's great!" Meng Changlin exclaimed.

Wang Qiang didn't speak, just lowered his head and ate his boxed lunch.

If noon is the wind and dragonflies in the long tune, then dusk is the puff of smoke in the minor tune, the memory returns with the breath, the air in the room of the three is silent for a moment, they all quietly look at the scenery in front of them, each falling into some kind of memory.

Lin Qingdu coughed, "I've seen you all be unhappy these days, what's on your mind?"

"We are so old, there will always be some troubles, don't you?"

Lin Qingdu thought about it, and he was right. He used to be on the mountain, worrying every day whether the subsidy for this month would come down, whether the rice would be enough to eat, and after going down the mountain, he was looking forward to the time when the salary would be paid.

"That's right!"

"We don't ask you, don't you need to ask us?"

"Don't ask, don't ask, just to let you have fun while eating, smell the smell of the wind, see the color of the sunset, and listen to the voice of the clouds."

When Wang Qiang heard this, the corners of Wang Qiang's mouth twitched in a rare way. He didn't know if he was smiling. Lin Qingdu took out an old radio from his pocket, "I borrowed it from someone, and it should be good." He adjusted the radio, and it made a rustling sound, and suddenly changed the channel, and the music started.

"promise" The past life makes me more and more depressed, the love lost and found is sweeter, sometimes the dreamer always wakes up, don't wake me up, I am not dreaming
How many years, three lives of drunken dreams, half a bottle of cool autumn, and the sunset is especially gentle, it is all romantic at this moment.

The three of them faced the sunset side by side, listening to music and eating boxed lunch.

The box lunch seems to be mixed with the smell of sunset, making it delicious.

While the three of them were eating their boxed lunches, they heard a commotion from below. Looking down, a group of workers surrounded the foreman, who was beating a man with a wooden stick.

Lin Qingdu used his eyesight and looked down.

The person who was beaten was the old man!
