The next day, I moved openly to Sister Chiu's place (that's what she asked me to call her). Wherever there was a place for singing, I accompanied her. I placed a three-foot steel pipe next to the driver's seat of the electric car, which was very handy.
Every night before going to bed, Sister Chiu always boils water on the electric stove, pours it into a basin, and brings it to me to soak my feet. Once in bed, I do whatever I want, and she just goes along with it and accommodates me. I threw her small appliances from her bedside table in front of her and said, "I'm not better than it!" She blushed and smiled, but didn't say anything.
We sleep together, cuddling and talking when we're not doing homework. She said she wants to have a child and asked if my two children at home are naughty. Sometimes we also talk about her man and my Xiumei. We are not husband and wife, nor are we lovers. We have shed our initial unfamiliarity and probing. She even compares my strengths and weaknesses with her husband, which gives me great motivation. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I have been living with Sister Chiu for almost two months. I feel that Sister Chiu and I are different from Lao Wai and that woman; we have feelings for each other.
I settled the wages and gave Sister Chiu 1000 yuan, and also bought her a down jacket. She accepted the money and the jacket, but then turned around and bought me a great brand of suit: "You're young and have a good figure, this style suits you." We went to the station together, bought our tickets and got on the train separately.
I came back home, but Xiumei didn't seem as happy as I had imagined. It seems like my parents want to talk to me about something, but in the end, they hesitate to speak. My mother said, "How about not going out after the New Year, find something to do nearby, and take care of the family."
8.
After the new year, I dragged on without returning to Jiangcheng.
The foreman called: "Xiaolin, not just anyone can do this tower crane work. I'll give you an extra 2000 yuan a month. Can you stay until I find a replacement for you?"
My cousin has moved my uncle out.
I heard that I came back, and Sister Chiu came to the construction site to find me: "Xiaolin, when are you going to pick up the luggage you stored in my room?"
Sister Chiu still likes to listen to operas, but now her husband accompanies her.
Sister Chiu's husband is named Mr. Li, he is not tall, quite thin, with a pale and unhealthy complexion, and he is also deaf and mute. I really don't understand how Sister Chiu could spend her whole life with someone like him. Also with him is his cousin Da Kui, who is tall and strong.
Mr. Li is helping to unload things from my tower crane in the construction area.
Da Kui has become my apprentice, accompanying me up and down every day, learning to operate the crane with me.
Occasionally, Sister Chiu and they also invite me to eat and drink in their cabin.
Sister Chiu said Da Kui brother has been to high school, and he is good at both understanding and practical ability. She lets me and Da Kui eat more, but always ignores Mr. Li, sometimes even showing a hint of dislike in her eyes. When the willow shoots out new green leaves, Da Kui brother studies quite well.
The foreman talked to me: "Xiao Lin, when Da Kui is ready, let him take over! You keep an eye on him from the side."
That day, we needed to hoist four or five tons of cement balcony slabs to the top of the building.
I directed Da Kui to lower the hook while communicating with the command below using a walkie-talkie.
The hook rises, and the four or five-ton balcony slowly rises. Da Kui operates very carefully and steadily.
The boom swings to the top of the construction, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But as the boom moves down, a small figure suddenly rushes to the bottom of the hook, trying to take something! This is one of the "eight strict prohibitions" behaviors, and I was about to command the site to stop.
Da Kui suddenly shouted, "Oh no, the car is slipping!" Then he looked as the balcony railing with a hook smashed straight down!
There was no "ah" of a scream.
In my line of sight, the balcony directly "covered" the person below.
Visible red liquid splattered in all directions.
I rushed to the scene of the accident with cold hands and feet, not even caring about looking foolish. The balcony railing was moved aside, and besides the splattered flesh, I also saw mangled flesh and fractures! My coworker said that the person who was hit was Mr. Li.
Sister Chiu was called over and, seeing the mess of flesh and blood in front of her, she collapsed to the ground, her mouth wide open but unable to make a sound.
Da Kui also came down.
Just stood there foolishly.
construction site It's normal for accidents to happen at construction sites, but when it results in loss of life, it still attracts attention from relevant parties.
Jiangcheng City The safety supervision bureau personnel have arrived.
I and Da Kui have also been detained by the public security department.
10.
A month later, Da Kui and I regained our freedom. The foreman drove to the detention center to pick us up and said, "The joint investigation results of the safety and technical supervision bureaus are out. It was a sudden brake problem with the tower crane, and it has nothing to do with you two directly!"
He said again, "Xiao Lin is resigning, perfect timing, the wheat in our hometown is almost ready for harvest... Let Da Kui take over your work."
I asked further, "What about Sister Chiu?"
The foreman said, "She lost 200,000 yuan on the project, she went home to handle the funeral matters and has already returned."
I'm going back to my hometown in Annan. Sister Chiu and Da Kui arranged a table in her room to see me off. When I arrived in Annan County, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening. I took the last bus to our Lao Gu Township, which took almost an hour to travel the 70-mile rural road, and then walked seven miles to the village.
Take a look at your phone, it's already 10 o'clock at night.
Thinking that my parents must have rested and didn't go back to the old house, I went straight to our small home in the north of the village.
I quietly took out the key and opened the door.
I want to give Xiumei a surprise.
——Mr. Li's accident, plus Da Kui being controlled this month, made me realize a lot: no matter how much money you have, as long as there are no illnesses or disasters at home, it's better than anything else!
I gently knock on the door.
The light was off in the room, but there was a rustling sound. Then, the door opened silently. In the dim moonlight, I saw Xiumei's slender figure and smelled her familiar fragrance.
"Why are you so late today?" She cooed.
I didn't quite understand what she meant, and seeing his naked body made my mind go blank.
I didn't say anything either, just picked her up and threw her onto the bed. With our combined effort, our clothes were soon off completely.
Xiumei let out a refreshing and leisurely cry: "Ah—"
The wind stopped and the rain ceased, and I was drowsy, but Xiumei was spirited: "I knew you were coming back today, so I sent our daughter to grandma's house and our son to grandma's house."
I couldn't open my eyes and mumbled in response: "How did you know I was coming back today?"
She patted me on the back and said, "Hey, didn't we agree to do this once a week on Fridays?" I instantly woke up. I sat up abruptly and turned on the bedside lamp.
Xiumei covered her head and scolded, "What's gotten into you!" I lifted the blanket off her head, pulled her hands away from her face, and she was forced to open her eyes. When she saw me in front of her, she screamed as if she had seen a ghost, "Ah—!"
I have completed the divorce procedures with Xiumei. She had an affair during our marriage and I kicked her out of the house. I told my parents about Sister Chiu and said to them, "I want to marry her!" After discussing for a while, my parents said, "As long as you think it's okay and she can treat our two children well, your mother has no objections."
Dad said, "Let's find a respectable family." I took the shuttle to Annan, then a long-distance bus to Jiangcheng. I was eager to see Sister Chiu and say in front of everyone, "Sister, I'm marrying you!" After a long journey, I arrived in Jiangcheng in the early afternoon, and everyone was already at work.
Sister Chiu lazily opened the door and was stunned to see me knocking. I said, "Sister, I want to marry you!" She stared at me blankly, as if she had lost her soul.
12.
When I came to, Sister Chiu pulled me into the room and said, "You must be tired. Rest for a while, I'll be back soon!" Sister Chiu left, and I lay comfortably on her bed, inhaling her scent from the pillow and sheets.
When I saw the bedside table, I mischievously wanted to see if Sister Chiu had been using women's small appliances again recently. In the top drawer, there was an opened pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Sister Chiu has actually learned to smoke.
In the second drawer, there are two ID cards, one belongs to Sister Chiu and the other belongs to Da Kui. Below them, there is a stack of household registration documents and other certificates. I heard footsteps outside the door, so I put the things back in the drawer and closed it. Sister Chiu came in with Da Kui.
Da Kui came up and grabbed my hand: "Xiao Lin, it's you? You taught me how to operate the tower crane step by step. Tonight, it's my treat to show my appreciation to my apprentice!"
I smiled and said repeatedly, "Da Kui brother, no need to be polite!"
Sister Chiu blushed and said shyly, "Cousin, I'll go to the nearby hotel later to book a room for Xiao Lin..."
Da Kui took out a cigarette from the drawer and said, "Bro, let's drink and be merry tonight!"
They prepared a lot of dishes and even brought out the classic blue label.
After a satisfying meal and drinks, Sister Chiu took me to the hotel room that had been arranged.
Sister Chiu is chattering about missing me.
Sister Chiu throws a flirtatious look at me: "You want to shower first? Or should I go first? Or should we shower together?"
I push her inside: "You go first, I'll sober up and make a phone call home."
Sister Chiu Took off her clothes in front of me and went into the bathroom. I took out my phone and dialed a number.
Sister Chiu Came out of the bathroom, looking alluring, and urged me to take a shower: "Hurry up..."
Someone knocked on the door.
Sister Chiu Wearing a bathrobe, she opened the door. Several police officers came in and asked, "Who called the police?" I raised my hand and said, "I did!"
13.
Sister Chiu In the drawer of the bedside table, her address on the ID card is exactly the same as Da Kui, and there are also two marriage certificates. Sister Chiu and Da Kui are leaning against each other, smiling sweetly, and the date of issue shows that they have been married for ten years. There are also several small professional qualification certificates.
The name and photo are both Da Kui, one of which is a "tower crane special operation qualification certificate" issued more than ten years ago.
- Who is Mr. Li?
- How did Mr. Li die?
Back in Annan, I nervously watched Wang Baoqiang's debut performance in "Blind Shaft." Unconsciously, cold sweat trickled down my back.
