Early this morning, after Lin Yuxun accompanied Cheng Hao Danny to have breakfast at school, he came to this building to work as usual.
In the morning, he hurried to clean the upper four floors of the ten-story building, then went to school, had lunch with Cheng Hao and Danny, and then he hurried here again and started to clean the leftovers. of five floors.
He has almost finished cleaning the fourth floor. After cleaning the remaining second and third floors, today's work will be done.
He started thinking about things after get off work.
He doesn't have a lot of living expenses, but today is already Friday, and the salary will be paid in two days... He doesn't need to save too much money.
He thinks that tonight, he can buy some more hot dogs. Cheng Hao seems to like hot dogs more than sausages.
That's right, he bought the cheapest sausage before, which must not be good for Cheng Hao.
In addition to hot dogs and bread, vegetables and fruits are also bought, Cheng Hao said to eat nutritiously...
As he calculated and worked, he didn't feel tired at all.
Even thinking of Danny who can write "I love you" and Cheng Hao who is waiting for him at home, he feels full of energy.
In the past, when he came home, the house was always quiet and dead, which made him feel heavy, but now it is different. Now when he comes home, the house is always full of laughter, which makes him feel from the bottom of his heart. Want to laugh.
He likes his current home.
It's just that all his good mood disappeared when he saw Cheng Hao and Danny appearing in front of him.
He knew how dirty and miserable he was now.
He has been working for a day, and his work clothes are covered with dirt. He must be very ugly. Will Cheng Hao feel disgusted when he sees him
He knew that Cheng Hao thought he was studying, and he also hoped that Cheng Hao thought so, but now, Cheng Hao saw...
Lin Yuxun was inexplicably panicked, he wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide.
When he saw Cheng Hao's face became so ugly, his heart sank even more.
Cheng Hao, will you despise him? Will you leave
He is willing to raise Cheng Hao, as long as Cheng Hao is willing to live with him, if Cheng Hao leaves... He really doesn't want to live the life that was so desperate that people couldn't see the end at a glance.
Lin Yuxun stared closely at Cheng Hao, waiting for Cheng Hao's sentencing.
As a result, Cheng Hao smiled at him and asked him if he still had rubber gloves.
Lin Yuxun suspected that he had heard it wrong: "What did you say?"
Cheng Hao asked again, and he found that Lin Yuxun was nervous, so he acted more gently.
Lin Yuxun said: "You don't need to help me with the work, I can do it myself, I can do it very quickly, and it won't take long."
Cheng Hao said: "The two of us can do it together, it can be faster."
"This job is dirty..." Lin Yuxun was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of getting dirty." Cheng Hao said.
Of course Cheng Hao is afraid of getting dirty. He used to clean his own room, but he had never cleaned a house like this. There were some things here that made him sick just by looking at them.
But he couldn't let Lin Yuxun clean up alone.
Lin Yuxun didn't speak, and Cheng Hao rolled up his sleeves when he saw this: "If you don't have rubber gloves, I'll just clean like this."
Lin Yuxun hurriedly said: "There are gloves and overalls... I'll get them for you."
Lin Yuxun ran out, and after a while, he came back with a set of overalls and rubber gloves.
This overalls are exactly the same as Lin Yuxun's, but Lin Yuxun looks very loose after wearing them, and Cheng Hao's suits are just right, and even the overalls look tall and handsome.
Cheng Hao put on his clothes and rubber gloves, saw Danny standing beside him in a daze, looking at a loss, thought for a while, gave Danny a broom, and showed him how to sweep the floor Let him sweep the floor beside him.
Danny obviously had never done such a job, and he was very unskilled when he did it, but he did it very seriously.
Seeing this, Cheng Hao immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Danny, you are awesome!"
Being praised like this, Danny was immediately happy, but Lin Yuxun was a little tangled: "Danny..."
"You've worked so hard, you should let Danny know." Cheng Hao said. He finally discovered that although Lin Yuxun grew up abroad, his personality and behavior are very similar to many parents in China - no matter how hard they work, they will not let their family members, especially the children at home, know. will express their feelings.
Lin Yuxun and Danny's relationship is actually very deep, but when he first came, the communication between the two was so little that it was outrageous!
"I'm not working hard." Lin Yuxun said quickly.
"Isn't that hard work? How old are you!" Cheng Hao said.
Cheng Hao spoke like an elder scolding a younger generation.
Cheng Hao is only one year older than Lin Yuxun, how can he talk to him in such a tone
And Cheng Hao said at this time: "Of course, you are better than Danny, you can support your family at such a young age."
Lin Yuxun was taken aback. He started working part-time a long time ago, but it was the first time someone said he was great.
Lin Yuxun was indescribably happy, and his eyes were red, so he could only lower his head.
It was the first time someone knew about the pressure and hardship he had felt in the past few years, and it was the first time he was understood by others.
When living with his father, Lin Yuxun never worked part-time.
His father did the lowest-level manual labor, and his income was not much, but because he didn't smoke or drink, it was enough to maintain the life of father and son, and Lin Yuxun didn't need to work extra.
He was very young at that time, and he had nowhere to work.
But when he was twelve, his father died, and after he moved here to live with his mother, he started working.
His mother was... also "working" in the building.
She is a rare Chinese with a good business, but she spends a lot of money and always has no money in her hands-she likes to drink and smoke marijuana.
Always drunk, she would give her two sons some money to buy food when she remembered, but sometimes, she would not give him and Danny a penny for a month.
Although he was able to receive relief food and eat free lunches at school, the source of money was so unstable that he still felt uneasy.
So, he went to find a job delivering milk, and got up at two o'clock in the morning every day, and after receiving the milk, he rode a bicycle to deliver it to the family...
The milkman's salary was not as high as his current job, but it didn't stop him from going to school, and he didn't have to pay rent at that time, so he was already satisfied with it.
But later, after his mother got drunk once, she never woke up again.
He and Danny were separated and sent to different foster families.
The family who received him disliked all aspects of him, and hated his behaviors such as not washing his hair or brushing his teeth. He felt that there was only a little rubbish left in the trash can, and the family would be furious, thinking that he was not well-bred and beat him.
In that family, whatever he did was wrong.
But he could bear it at the time, at least they gave him food and a place to live.
As for being scolded every day and being beaten occasionally, he doesn't really care, after all, his mother treated him like this.
But he was worried about Danny, so he went to Danny secretly, only to find that Danny's situation was worse than his.
Danny couldn't hear, he couldn't speak, he couldn't do many things, the family didn't like him very much, and more importantly, there were other children in that family, and those people were always bullying Danny.
When he found Danny, Danny was not only injured, but also sick and had a fever, but the family didn't find out about it at all!
He insisted on taking Danny away, and asked his mother's friend to bring him antipyretics for Danny. Danny finally got better, but his foster family didn't allow him to keep Danny. In the end, he could only take Danny with him. Ni lives alone.
He rented a house in the neighborhood with the money he secretly saved as a milkman.
After he settled the residence, he went to look for a job, but his original job of delivering milk had already been snatched away.
He finally found such a cleaning job.
The rooms in this building will be full of guests at night, and there will be no one during the day, so he can just come to clean. Although the work is a lot and dirty, but the income is good, he is very satisfied. The only troublesome thing is that there is Several of his former classmates followed him and always came to rob him of his money.
Fortunately, he can always keep some.
Lin Yuxun was thinking about things, but his work speed was not slow at all, but Cheng Hao, who had never done such a job before, made Lin Yuxun more trouble.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Hao said, "I'll go to the next room to clean." He and Lin Yuxun work in the same room, not only will Lin Yuxun's work efficiency be lowered because of his inexperience, but Lin Yuxun will also be unable to work. At ease, it is better to separate.
When he was cleaning, the floor might not be so clean, but Lin Yuxun wiped the room he had cleaned again, which was always faster than letting Lin Yuxun clean it all.
Cheng Hao thought so, and went to the next door.
This kind of room is not big, there is only one bed and one bathroom inside, and there are many things in a mess on the floor of the room.
I am afraid that in every room here, several couples will come to sleep at night.
Cheng Hao cleaned up the dirty things, simply mopped them with a mop, and then asked Lin Yuxun to wipe them again. After cooperating in this way, their work was done very quickly.
In the past, when Lin Yu was looking for someone, he often had to finish all the work after five o'clock, but today at half past four, he finished all the work. Then he took Cheng Hao to the laundry room to change his clothes and wash his face.
"You are the only one cleaning this building?" Cheng Hao asked.
Lin Yuxun said: "No, there are others... She is responsible for changing the sheets and washing them in the laundry room."
"Will you be tired?" Cheng Hao asked again.
"No, I'm proficient in doing it now, and I can clean it very quickly." Lin Yuxun said. When he first came here, he was slow, and he often had to clean until eight or nine in the evening to clean a whole building, but now it is really too fast.
Cheng Hao asked again: "How long have you been working here?"
"Not long..." Lin Yuxun lowered his head and refused to say more.
"Have you ever done any other work before?" Cheng Hao asked again.
"I used to work as a milkman." Lin Yuxun said.
Lin Yuxun is not willing to say this, but Cheng Hao can probably guess his experience based on Chester's words.
Chester said that Lin Yuxun hadn't gone to school after his mother died, so Lin Yuxun has been doing this job for about a year. As for when his mother was still alive, he should have been working as a milkman.
In the United States, the milk delivery person is required to deliver the milk before the head of the household wakes up. In addition, the land here is sparsely populated, and many milk delivery workers need to wake up in the middle of the night to deliver the milk within the specified time... Lin Yuxun was only twelve at the time. Three years old must be very hard.
Cheng Hao also knows that there is no shortage of people living in poverty in this world, but now that he has met them, he is still a little shocked.
What you see with your own eyes is always more shocking than what you hear.
When the two left the building, there were more women in the shops downstairs. In addition, there were some women standing on the side of the street and posing.
Cheng Hao once again told Danny not to look around, and left here with Danny in his arms.
After leaving this area, Lin Yuxun asked, "Shall we go shopping?"
Cheng Hao nodded, and walked forward with Lin Yuxun.
Lin Yuxun took Cheng Hao into a small supermarket.
It is cheaper to buy things in big supermarkets, but they are far away from this slum. They have no way to go there without a car, so they can only spend more money in small supermarkets.
There are vegetables and fruits in the small supermarket, as well as bread, sausage, hot dogs, etc., and there are many types of bread.
Cheng Hao took a look and found that the bread Lin Yuxun bought was the cheapest among all the breads.
He felt more and more uncomfortable.
There are all kinds of bread and cakes here, but Lin Yuxun has probably never tasted those delicious and expensive little things.
When Lin Yuxun was shopping, Cheng Hao didn't say anything, but on the way back, he took bread to eat, and said after eating: "Lin Yuxun, I found a job as a waiter in a bar , going to work tonight."
