chapter 1 the pain of being single

early morning.

A rapid alarm sounded, and Kurt Lee reached out to press the alarm clock with sleepy eyes.

After dilly-dallying for a while, he murmured, stretched, sat up, and looked at the time. It was 7:05, and there were still 35 minutes until work.

I shook my head and cheered up. I got up and washed and tidied up. I was about to go out. I glanced at the unclosed diary on the big suitcase. I walked over, closed it and threw it into the suitcase. I closed the rental room with a clang. wooden door.

It was the winter moon now, the weather was gloomy and cold, and the bone-chilling wind blew over. Kurt Lee shivered with the cold, and couldn't help but curse:

"MD, the weather is getting colder and colder. If people are freezing to death, the Foreman will exploit the working people if they don't increase their wages."

The rental house was five or six hundred meters away from the construction site. Originally, the construction site also had workers' dormitories, with seven or eight people living in one room. Kurt Lee couldn't stand the smell of sweaty feet, so he spent 90 yuan to rent a small cabin outside. I have to work two and a half days to pay for one month's rent. I have to work two and a half days a month to work for the landlord. Although I am a little bit reluctant to give up, I think that I am alone, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, and I work hard every day to make money. Do you just want to live a better quality of life?

So why bother yourself so much. What's more, when you live alone, your personal privacy space is quite comfortable. After all, sometimes you still have some private actions...

I bought two steamed buns on the roadside and ate them while walking. When I came to the construction site, I glanced at the working people who were coming in one after another, and Kurt Lee murmured:

"A hard day has begun again, come on, young man!"

Suddenly I laughed at myself. I seemed to be no longer a teenager. I was already twenty-eight this year. I usually envy those young people on the street who have female companions by their side. Holding hands is so warm!

No matter whether those female companions are beautiful or not, they are at least women. Think about yourself, in this life you still don’t know what it feels like to touch a girl’s hand. It should feel more comfortable than touching your right hand with your left hand!

It's a pity that the girl next door I had a crush on moved away a few years ago, and the opportunity to dream is gone! I used to pass by that door after get off work every day, and the feeling of going home is gone all of a sudden!

Oh my God! They say that when fate has arrived, nothing can stop it. Was my fate cut off by The Matchmaker Deity and I stayed here?

The evil exploitative class society, at least leave some dregs for me. I don’t want to be beautiful and have a body like a fairy or a devil, but I want to be a woman, no matter poor or rich, no matter tall or short, fat or thin. I suddenly thought of selling tofu, Aunt Zhang’s two hundred kilograms. If you have a round body shape and are trembling all over, then you should be tall, short or thin...it’s better not to be fat.

Having been single for too long, Kurt Lee now doesn't want to be a woman, he just wants to be a human being... Even when he saw Brother Wang at the construction site, he felt that Brother Wang was quite handsome...

Kurt Lee woke up suddenly, what was wrong with him? I quickly shook my head. This terrible and evil thought must be thrown away as soon as possible. This kind of thought will hurt people to death...

While thinking wildly, he had already walked to the construction site and started another day of work. Kurt Lee's task was to carry bricks from the first floor to the fifth floor. At the end of the day, his whole body was sore and exhausted.

In addition to going to work every day, Kurt Lee still insists on doing one thing, and that is writing a diary. In his words, he just wants to record his life, and also wants to do something that can make him persevere and exercise his strength. perseverance.

Human hearts are fragile and changeable by nature. To be able to do something firmly requires not only courage, but also perseverance.

Kurt Lee was an orphan since he was a child. He grew up in an orphanage. Because of his poor grades, he barely finished middle school and lost all interest in studying. But he was too young and had no place to go. If he went there, he wouldn't want to go to another school. So, He stayed in the orphanage and worked as a handyman for a few years, and he hurried out to make a living as soon as he turned 18.

When he came out, he was full of enthusiasm and excited to start a career, but reality soon slapped him hard. Kurt Lee needed skills but not skills, and needed education but not academic qualifications. When the few money he had left was spent, , and couldn't help but go back to the orphanage. When he was so hungry and dizzy, he happened to see a construction site recruiting people, so Kurt Lee hurried over to ask.

The Foreman looked at Kurt Lee. His body was quite strong, but his face was a little immature, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Are you over 18? Young man, you can't use a fake ID to deceive people. If you are under 18, it is considered child labor. Not only will you not get the wages, but I will also be fined."

"Brother, I'm over 18. This ID card is really my own. Look at it."

The Foreman took the ID card and carefully checked Kurt Lee's appearance while saying:

"Kurt Lee, your name is really casual. Well... OK, I'll count you in. I get off work in half an hour today and I'll start work tomorrow. Do you have a place to live?"

Kurt Lee shook his head quickly.

address? Under the overpass shouldn’t be counted, right?

The Foreman looked at Kurt Lee again and said:

"Then live at the construction site. Not only does the construction site have dormitories, but it also provides lunch and dinner every day."

Kurt Lee didn't care about anything else. When he heard that he would have two meals and a place to stay, he nodded hurriedly:

"Okay, I live on the construction site!"

From that day on, Kurt Lee settled down at the construction site. He had only been working for two months. He really couldn't stand the smell of the big guys in the dormitory. As soon as he was paid, he quickly rented a room outside. cabin.

…

After a busy day, Kurt Lee dragged his tired body back to the rental house. He rested for a while, boiled a pot of water with an electric heating rod, took a bucket to the toilet, mixed it with water and took a hot bath. It was too cold today. I won’t go out for a stroll. In such a cold weather, beautiful women won’t come out for a stroll. The possibility of meeting a beautiful woman is greatly reduced.

I turned on the cheap second-hand TV and listened to the news broadcast while opening the suitcase. Inside were dozens of diaries written over the years. The stacks were not neatly arranged, but the year of placement could also be seen. rule.

The suitcase is not big, less than three feet long and wide, but two feet high. Kurt Lee has always used the suitcase as a small desk.

I brought a small stool, opened a cheap diary, and began to record today's strange events.

"December 12, 2010, Tuesday, the weather was cloudy..."

Most of the diary contains the news I watched on TV, as well as some new things I heard and saw outside.

Because the rent was cheap, the hut was a bit crude. The cold wind from outside blew in through the cracks in the door from time to time, biting like needles. It made Kurt Lee feel chills. Kurt Lee quickly found some rags and waste paper and filled the cracks in the door. The stuffing was tight, and he was still muttering:

"It's a dry and cold day, and it won't snow. Otherwise, it will snow a little, preferably a little heavier, so that we can maybe have a day's rest."

After muttering for a while, he turned around and pulled out a bag under the bed. Inside was the charcoal he bought a few days ago. He found an iron basin and fiddled with it for a long time. Finally, he lit the charcoal. The room suddenly became much warmer. Kurt Lee felt a little comfortable. This was enjoyment. The taste...it's just that this charcoal is a bit expensive, but if you want to enjoy it, it's worth spending a little money...

After all, he had saved more than 50,000 yuan. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile obscenely. This was the money for his future wife!

Wife... Are you at that mother-in-law in-law's house? You have to go out for a walk. Otherwise, how could you meet me?

I will wait for you until the flowers have withered. I will soon become an old man, won’t you soon become an old woman? Is it possible that I can still find a little girl, an old cow eating young grass? This... seems to be possible. Thinking of this, the smile on Kurt Lee face became even more obscene.

I threw a few more pieces of charcoal into the basin and continued to write various news on the TV. The charcoal fire was so warm and comfortable. As I wrote, I felt a little sleepy. I thought about lying on the box and squinting for a while, feeling hazy. In the haze, Kurt Lee seemed to see a beautiful woman waving to him. The beauty was so beautiful, white and tender, just like the stars on TV, with a smile on her eyebrows and a hint of sultry. Kurt Lee mood was stirred, and he felt that his soul was gone. He flew over and shouted in his heart: "Daughter-in-law, I'm here!"
