Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, the hot summer had come to its end. The slightly cold autumn quietly arrived.
At the construction site of Fengxi Real Estate, the project manager looked at the old man desperately moving the bricks around and could not help but say, "Uncle Qin, you should rest and drink some water. You're so old, don't get tired."
A half truck stopped at the entrance of the construction site. Qin Kaicheng was unloading the bricks nonstop. From 6 am until noon, he never stopped.
Hearing the manager's words, Qin Kaicheng did not reply. He just smiled and waved, then turned around and continued moving the bricks.
The worker at the side saw this scene and said to the manager, "Manager, don't say it, this old man is really admirable. When I first arrived, I could only unload one cart of bricks a day, but now I can already unload close to 8 cars!"
The project manager nodded and said, "Sigh, he looks pitiful, but at his age, other than unloading bricks, he can't do anything else. There's really no other way!"
He could tell that Qin Kaicheng used to have a pretty good family background. Although his hair was messy, his skin was very delicate. It was easy to see that he had done rough work, so he didn't know why he came here to work as a bricklayer.
During the day, Qin Kaicheng tried his best to unload a total of 9 car bricks. He broke his own record and also broke everyone's record at the site. Some of the young guys had no choice but to kowtow to him.
"Uncle Qin, here's your salary. It's 350 yuan in total. Please count it."
At the same time that the project manager brought him the money, he also gave him a glass of water.
Qin Kaicheng took the money and put it into his pocket without even looking at the money. He picked up the cup and drank the water in one gulp, then turned around to leave after thanking her. He thought that the money was not right, so he took out the money again and counted it.
"Manager, this money isn't right, right?"
The manager smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Take it and leave quickly."
"No, no!" Qin Kaicheng took out five worn-out pieces of 10 yuan from a handful of change and handed them to the manager, "Today, I have moved a total of 9 cars, 1 car is filled with 50,000 bricks, 15 coins is a penny, and that's just 300 yuan. You gave me an extra 50."
"Great sir, this is what you deserve. Take it."
The project manager stuffed the money back into Qin Kaicheng's pocket, lightly patted his shoulder and left.
Qin Kaicheng's eyes sparkled as he chanted: "Thank you, but there are so many good people!"
As night fell, Qin Kaicheng dragged his tired body back to the broken shack under the bridge. Due to overexertion, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't even hold the three steamed buns steadily in his hands.
"Pah!"
Qin Kaicheng suddenly threw Steamed Bun onto the ground and suddenly laid down on his lap and sobbed.
"My daughter, dad has let you down. It's all my fault. Where can I go to find you?"
For the past half month, Qin Kaicheng had been living a self-blaming life. Every time he closed his eyes, the figure of his eldest daughter, Qin Ruoxi, would appear before him, making him wish that he was dead.
Now, all he wanted was to earn enough money to go to Vegas and find the masked man to redeem his daughter.
Wiping the tears from his eyes, he took out a plastic bag filled with shabby change, which was all he had accumulated over the past half month.
Every day for the past half month, he would arrive at the construction site at 6 o'clock in the morning to move the bricks. Every day for the past half month, he would arrive at the construction site at 6 o'clock in the morning to move the brick.
He was still a far cry from owing the masked man money. As he thought of this, the grief in his heart increased and he even had the thought of apologizing with his life on the line.
"I'm not fit to be a father, much less live in this world. My daughter …"
Tears gushed out like the tide. Qin Kaicheng grabbed a rock on the side and threw it at his head.
"Bam!"
A strong hand grabbed his wrist. Chu Yun had just witnessed everything from the dark. He knew that it was about time to bring Qin Kaicheng home.
"Chu Yun?"0
Seeing the familiar face in front of him, Qin Kaicheng felt even more sad. He kneeled down on the ground and kept kowtowing, "I'm an animal. I'm sorry. I'm even more sorry to Ruoxi. Kill me. Kill me …"
He was also a father and was well aware of Qin Kaicheng's internal struggle. Fortunately, everything was over, and as long as he could change his fate, it was not too late.
"It's all over now. Dad, come home with me."
Hearing that Chu Yun wanted to pull him home, Qin Kaicheng immediately shook his head and waved his hands, crawled to the side on his knees, covered his face with his hands and tears and said, "Ruoxi was killed by me, how can I have the face to go home? I want to make good money, I want to redeem my precious daughter! "Even if I die, I must earn enough money. Even if I die, I must earn enough money!"
At this moment, Qin Kaicheng looked like he had lost his mind, constantly repeating the same words. Due to the grief in his heart, his expression was distorted and his body was twitching, looking exactly like a mentally ill person.
"Dad!"
The two Qin Family sisters who were also standing in the dark could not hold it in anymore, and ran towards Qin Kaicheng while crying.
Qin Kaicheng's entire body trembled when he heard his daughter's call in the dark. He lifted his head and quickly crawled towards the direction of the voice, but after moving the bricks for an entire day, how could his hands still have any strength. Every few steps he crawled, he would fall down, knocking his chin into a dark green color.
"Is this an illusion? "My daughter, I heard her voice! Ruoxi, where are you?!"
Chu Yun ran up and held the sour Qin Kaicheng tightly in his arms. He pointed to the other side of the bridge and said with a choked voice, "Dad, who do you think that is?"
Under the light of the street lamp, two beautiful silhouettes flew over. The shadows that covered their faces gradually faded away, revealing their faces.
"Ruoxi!" "Ruoxin!"
Qin Kaicheng, who had seen his daughter's face clearly, shouted and burst into tears. Embarrassed, he covered his face and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to his two daughters.
While kowtowing, he shouted, "The heavens have eyes, the heavens have eyes!"
Sisters of Qin Family ran to Qin Kaicheng's side and hugged his neck without any hesitation, crying out loud.
"Dad, your daughter is unfilial and caused you to suffer!"
Tears rolled down Qin Ruoxi's face. At the same time, she threw a grateful look towards Chu Yun. If it wasn't for him, Qin Kaicheng wouldn't have changed his mind.
In this past half month, Chu Yun had been informing her father about the changes every day, which made her gradually forgive him for his inferior behavior. Now, she just wanted to bring her father home and live a good life for their family.
"No, you're not wrong. It was my stubbornness that harmed you. I was bewitched, so I took the money you gave me to gamble, and …"
Before he could finish, Qin Ruoxi had already covered his mouth with her hand and shook her head. "Let's not talk about the past anymore. Dad, come back with us and have a good life, okay?"
The corner of Qin Kaicheng's mouth curved downwards. He held back his tears and nodded, "Okay, okay! Live a good life. If you dare to bet again, I will be struck by lightning from the heavens! "
"Dad, don't say anymore, no one can hit you!"
Qin Ruoxin bit her lips and wiped the tears from Qin Kaicheng's eyes. Together with her sister, she helped Qin Kaicheng up. She turned around and said to Wu Tie, "Brother-in-law, let's go."
Chu Yun had his back facing them all along, so the two sisters might see his tears, but it didn't matter now.
A man doesn't shed tears easily, it's just that he hasn't reached the depths of love yet!
