Lin Xiao frowned.
"Bald?"
Lao Xu nodded quickly and said: "He is a bald man. He is quite strong and has a fierce look on his face. Some of the people he leads have long hair."
Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. It's a blessing, not a curse. We can't avoid the curse. Some things must be resolved. Let's take a look before talking about it."
When Lao Xu saw that Lin Xiao was about to go over, he became even more nervous.
"This... let's do this! You wait for a while, I will call some people out. If anything happens, there are many brothers, maybe..."
"No, you are all honest people. It is not easy to get this job. Please stay away from things like this in the future."
Lin Xiao interrupted Lao Xu and walked over.
As soon as we reached the gate of the city's second construction staff dormitory, five or six men suddenly jumped out of the darkness. The leader was really bald.
Lin Xiao took a closer look and couldn't help but smile coldly and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
It turns out that this guy is Chen Tuzi who beat Lin Xiao with a steel bar last time and was later taken care of by Lin Xiao.
Afterwards, Lin Xiao learned from Chen Xiaodong that Bald Chen was very popular in the West Street area.
Chen Tuozi looked embarrassed. He smiled sheepishly and said, "No, I'm looking for Lin Xiao here, who seems to be a temporary worker."
"Damn it, I'm Lin Xiao, why are you looking for me?"
Lin Xiao said and took a step forward.
Old Xu had been frightened for a long time. He hurriedly avoided these people and sneaked into the iron gate.
Chen Baldzi said with a puzzled look on his face: "Are you Lin Xiao? I'm sorry, let's forget about it!"
"Forget it? Oh! I understand, you were invited by someone else to deal with me?"
Lin Xiao said as he reached out and patted Chen Baldzi lightly on the shoulder.
Chen Tuozi shook his head helplessly and said, "My friend asked me to come over and help. Since you are Lin Xiao, I dare to deal with you."
Chen Tuzi smiled sheepishly as he spoke.
Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief and said, "I understand, the person who invited you here is either Niu Guisheng or Ma Haisheng, but I think you should ask what's going on before helping.
Otherwise, it will ruin your reputation as Chen Tuzi in the West Street area. "
As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, a burst of human voices suddenly came out, and Old Xu and a dozen or twenty workers were seen pouring out of the big iron gate.
These people held shovels in their hands, as well as sticks and bricks.
The people brought by Chen Tuozi immediately stood up in fright, and they slowly hid behind Chen Tuozi.
"No...I told you that since you are Lin Xiao, forget it, then..."
When Chen Tuzi saw so many people, he was still a little scared.
Lin Xiao walked over, smiled and said to everyone: "It's okay, he is a friend of mine, you should go back quickly!"
"Really, you didn't lie to us?"
Lao Xu still didn't believe it.
Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "If it weren't for our friends, we would have started fighting a long time ago, don't you think so?"
After hearing what Lin Xiao said, Lao Xu called the workers to retreat, but they still didn't go far. They all squatted in the darkness of the small courtyard to observe the situation here.
Chen Baldzi gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up and said, "That's enough, man! What happened tonight is very offending. I'll treat you to a drink if I get the chance."
"It's not about being offended. You should know some things and consider whether it is necessary to stand up for such a person."
As Lin Xiao spoke, he explained the whole story to Chen Tuozi in detail. After Chen Tuozi heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "Chen Xiaodong did the right thing in this matter. If it were me, I would stand up for you.
I've done something wrong and asked me to come to you. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. "
When Lin Xiao heard what Chen Tuozi said, he quickly smiled and said, "No, this matter is over. You have already helped me by not caring about it. Do you understand?"
Chen Tuozi was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you. I'll treat you to a drink when I get the chance."
Lin Xiao nodded, and Chen Tuozi took his few people away.
Back in the dormitory, when everyone heard that Lin Xiao was no longer working here, almost everyone gathered around him.
Old Xu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Chen Xiaodong and the other three are gone, and you have to leave too. Then these brothers will have no one to protect them."
Lin Xiao glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "I won't go far, I am definitely still in Qindong County, so no matter who you are, if you have any difficulties, please come to me."
"Brother Xiao! Do you have any good places to go? Take everyone with you! We just like working with you."
"Yes! Follow Brother Xiao to work hard and not be bullied by others."
…
Everyone was talking about it, which made Lin Xiao feel quite uncomfortable.
After all, Lao Xu was a few years older. He said with a smile: "Well, don't think about it. Even if Brother Xiao has a good place to go, he won't be able to bring so many people unless he still does this."
Everyone surrounded Lin Xiao for a long time and refused to leave. Finally, at Lao Xu's urging, some people took the lead and went to bed. After all, they had to go to work the next day.
That night, Lin Xiao tossed and turned and almost didn't sleep all night. He thought about a lot.
The next morning, he pretended to sleep and waited until everyone went to work before he got up.
After washing up, Lin Xiao packed up his things. When he was about to go to Ma Haisheng to settle his salary, suddenly a woman's voice came from the door.
"Is Lin Xiao here?"
Lin Xiao responded quickly and saw Xu Li walking in.
Xu Li looks pretty even without work clothes.
"Oh! Foreman Ma asked me to send you your wages."
Xu Li smiled slightly and took out a paper bag from her bag as she spoke.
Lin Xiao took it and put it in his pocket.
Xu Li glanced at Lin Xiao and said, "Don't you want to take a look?"
"What's good to see? It's just a little bit, not hundreds or thousands.
oh! Thank you, I was thinking of going over and getting it myself. "
Lin Xiao said and smiled lightly at Xu Li.
Xu Li paused for a moment and said, "Most people don't leave so fast, but I think it's a pity that you left like this."
"Can't I walk? Even if I stay, I won't have a good life."
Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief as he spoke.
Xu Li shook her head and said, "No! You have every chance of doing well if you stay.
Let me tell you some news. The construction industry has begun to reform. The city's second construction department has just held an internal meeting and some projects can be contracted out.
Go back and think about it carefully, I think you can do it. "
After Xu Li finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Lin Xiao was a little stunned. When he came to his senses, Xu Li had already walked to the door.
"Thank you, Sister Xu!"
Xu Li didn't look back, she just waved her hand.
***
Having received his wages and having nothing to miss, Lin Xiao packed up his luggage and went to No. 78 Beishan Road.
It's not hard to find since it has a house number.
The courtyard was at the end of the alley. When Lin Xiao opened the door, he found that the keyhole was a little rusty, which meant that Lao Huang hadn't been here for a long time.
Opening the courtyard door, you can see at first glance that the courtyard is indeed small, but very compact, giving people a sense of belonging.
There were tables and chairs in the house, and a wooden bed in the bedroom. Although they were all old, Lin Xiao was very satisfied.
Maybe it was because no one had taken care of it for a long time. The courtyard and the house were full of dust. Lin Xiao dropped his luggage and started cleaning.
"Just moved here?"
Suddenly, a woman's beautiful voice came from the door of the courtyard.
