Chapter 239

Fang Tianxing got out of the car and walked around aimlessly. Fang Tianxing suddenly divided into two people, following the young woman and the middle-aged woman.

Fang Tianxing wants to see the life behind them. He thinks that the middle-aged woman must be unreasonable. The young woman must live a hard life. Fang Tianxing plans to follow them.

Fang Tianxing follows the middle-aged woman and finds that she has gone to the vegetable market. It turns out that the price of vegetables here is cheaper. She comes here by car every day to buy vegetables and prepare three meals a day for her family.

She kept bargaining with the vendors and went to seven or eight vegetable stalls to get the dishes ready.

Carrying big and small bags, the middle-aged woman left the market and got on the bus. There are still a lot of people on the bus. The middle-aged woman restrained herself this time, but didn't quarrel with others. Back home on the bumpy bus.

She lives in a very remote community. She got off the bus. When she got home, she went upstairs and said to an old man in his seventies, "grandma, why are you pulling again? Get up quickly and I'll help you change your clothes."

Middle aged women resist nausea, help the old man take off the dirty pants, put on clean pants, although the mouth can not help complaining, but still skilled to help the old man clean up, after the old man finished. I have to wash the dirty clothes and prepare lunch for the whole family.

At noon, the middle-aged woman busy dinner, sent to the next coal mine, her husband and son are working here. At the exit of the mine, the middle-aged woman waited patiently for someone to come out.

The world under the mine is isolated and connected by only one channel. This passage connects two worlds: one is on the ground, the other is underground; One light, one dark; But sometimes, the world on the well is too bound, but the world underground is clean.?

The mine is far away from the world, lonely. It is an indisputable fact that the relationship in the mine is complicated, and there are not many grass-roots workers in the coal mine.

Lao Liu came out of the mine and saw his wife coming. He took the meal brought by the middle-aged woman. Don't worry about eating, light a cigarette, mood obviously quiet a lot, just one after another smoking.

In his words, it's too depressing in the mine. Only when I come out and smoke three or four can I feel relaxed. Lao Zhang didn't wash his face. With coal dust on his face, he drank a bottle of beer in his hand and ate a big meal at the same time. The workers next to him joked with him from time to time. This was the most relaxed time for the miners underground.?

His son also works here. His son's name is Liu Santai. He just came to the coal mine for two years. Better than his father, he doesn't have to stay underground all the time, as long as he goes down for inspection at intervals.

Two years ago, Liu Santai got the assignment notice to work under the mine, and his father and son became workers. Just as farmers have been holding fast to the land they depend on for their survival for generations, quite a number of workers living in the mining area have been holding on to the underground world from generation to generation.?

However, Liu Santai didn't like coal mines since he was a child. He had heard that there were often dead people in coal mines, and he had also seen miners with coal ash in their skin, including his father.?

Liu Santai has been very smart since he was a child, and others praise him. In these praises, he secretly designed his own life, married Bai Fumei and went to the top of his life. However, he failed in the middle school entrance examination twice. After that, under the persuasion of his father, he went to a local technical school and studied home appliance maintenance. Two years after graduating from technical school, he got the assignment notice of coal mine.?

Back home, he and his father said their own distribution of work, to do underground gas equipment testing. The father lit a cigarette, and after a moment of silence, he told him, "what's wrong with the underground? I quit all my life. It's not easy to have a job, so be content with it?

"There's no way. We don't have any relationship. We don't have any money. If we don't go down the mine, what can we do?" Said the father. In his heart, he didn't want his son to follow his own footsteps.?

Finally, Liu Santai gave in. He knew his father was telling the truth. His two childhood companions, who were both coal mine children, also went to technical school. But when he got the assignment notice, they had no job. It was a few years after he went down the well that they carried out their work.?

However, Liu Santai was not reconciled. Later on, the young man had been looking for his own way. Because of these hobbies, people around him regard him as a weirdo and think he is not doing his job. But Liu Santai didn't care. He stammered a little: "it doesn't matter what other people think of me. I just want to live the life I want."?

In the silent passage, the sound of "tick tick tick" appears clear and transparent.? Soon a man and a car came. After Liu sat down, the car started and rang.?

The car still has to move on, and there are several lanes ahead.? Get off the place there is a roadway, 1.5 km long. His job today is to inspect the gas monitoring equipment in this tunnel. Every time he encountered such a device, he would take a look at it. When he comes across the phone, he will contact the control room on the well.?

Compared with the roadway driven by people and vehicles, this roadway should be brighter. The roof of the roadway is crisscrossed, and the steel bars are exposed. It seems that if there is any movement, the steel bars will be tied down. Water shoes on the cement road, the sound can reverberate for a long time.?

When Liu Santai came to the underground tunnel, he felt that the end of the world had come. He said that he was "just like a mouse" in the mine and felt "very depressed" in the face of "never had darkness". Back to the ground, he thought, never go down again!

Before that, he had been complacent for a long time that he was the only good student in his class who had won a scholarship. At that time, he comforted himself that as long as he worked hard, he would get better. But the reality will not make him happy at all.

A classmate once gave him a move. He usually invited the leader to have a meal, bought some gifts for the leader during the Spring Festival, and transferred to work on the well. But this young man is a bit rigid. He never goes to the leader's home even if he's killed. He never invites the leader to dinner. Sometimes, he even embarrasses the leaders.?

Promotion and better working conditions naturally have nothing to do with him. Every time, people around him can get the opportunity to stay away from the dark world underground. Finally, one day, the young man who had never had a fight could not help but drink a little wine, carrying a bottle, rushed to the boss's office and wanted to blow his head off. Unfortunately, the boss is not in the office.?

After that, Liu Santai seemed to be a different person. Whenever a meeting is held and leaders speak on the stage, he will say some sarcastic words from time to time. He gradually became the object that leaders did not like. He no longer worked hard, no longer fantasized about the conscience of the leaders, and transferred him to work on the ground.?
