After smoking this cigarette, Lao Li handed the remaining half of the box to Fu Ping'an, saying that we would smoke it when I was ready, and there were still five left in the cigarette box. Fu Ping'an felt sad, and he knew that Lao Li would not be able to get better.

He sent Old Li back to the hospital, and his eldest son was not there, and Li Ke was not there. Fu Ping'an was angry and called back according to the number he called. It was indeed the phone number from the Internet cafe. His father was almost dead, and Li Ke was still addicted to games. Fu Ping'an thought he had to teach this guy a lesson.

Lao Li didn't take it seriously and said, "You go back to college, I can take care of myself."

Fu Ping'an went there with confidence and found the Internet cafe. Li Ke was calm and surfing the Internet. He was chatting with people on QQ.

"You come out, I promise not to hit you." Fu Ping'an said.

"Wait a moment, it'll be fine right away." Li Ke said, the speed of typing was significantly faster.

"Okay, I'll give you another five minutes. Don't blame me for being rude if I don't get off the plane at the time."

Li Ke stared at the screen, typing on the keyboard, and occasionally posting an emoji, chatting so happily. Fu Ping'an resisted the urge to beat someone and waited for five minutes. The kid was still tactful and got off the plane on time.

Fu Ping'an couldn't help but teach him a lesson: "Do you know if your father has advanced lung cancer?"

Li Ke was surprisingly calm and said, "I know, you wait a moment, I'll do something and come back soon."

Fu Ping'an said you didn't want to slip away, leaving your father alone in the hospital.

Li Ke said if you are worried, go with me.

Fu Ping'an stared at Li Ke and went to do business. He watched him enter the bank and checked the bank card balance on the teller's machine. He came back with relief and said, "Let's go, let's take a taxi to the hospital."

The two arrived at the hospital, and Lao Li disappeared again and even removed the extra bed. Fu Ping'an found the nurse station to ask, and the nurse said that the man had forced the discharge procedures and we could only respect the patient's decision.

Thinking of Lao Li's strange actions, Fu Ping'an had a vague premonition. He quickly took Li Ke back to the construction site. As soon as he entered the construction site, he saw a group of people surrounding the tower crane. There was someone standing on it. It was Lao Li.

Fu Ping'an rushed under the tower crane, and Li Ke followed closely behind, but it was too late, so Old Li didn't intend to give anyone a chance to persuade him. He climbed the tower crane without delaying for a minute, just like a diving athlete at the August Olympics, he pierced his head.

Everyone watched a figure fall down, and then the sound of the thermos falling on the concrete floor was a "poof".

The tower crane is as high as seven stories, and it is impossible to rescue it if it jumps down. There is no need to call an ambulance. Just call the crematorium car to pull the body. This is the first time Fu Ping'an has seen a familiar person die. Moreover, the two talked a few hours ago, and he could not accept the ending. In contrast, Li Ke's performance was much calmer and he didn't even cry.

Boss Zhao also came to the scene to deal with the funeral. Lao Li was a member of the engineering team and died on the construction site. He was responsible. It was common for climbing tower cranes on the construction site to force him to ask for wages, but that was just a gesture. Lao Li was sincerely begging for death. The workers found a stack of banknotes and a suicide note on him.

The suicide note was very short. First, it stated that his death had nothing to do with Boss Zhao, and then allocated the inheritance. The hospitalization fee returned from the hospital was left to the boss to build a house, clothes and bedding. Anyone who wanted to take it away would take it away. There was also the unpaid wages. After receiving it, I paid the tuition to the waiter and still had to go to school.

The banknotes were stained with blood, and every word of the suicide note was even more painful. Boss Zhao looked at it and said that I would pay the funeral expenses and notify him of the eldest son, and he would do whatever he should do.

The car from the crematorium came, and the old Li Lian who had fallen into shape was pulled away. Li Ke followed his father away. Zhao Jie and Fu Ping'an followed behind in a van. Because the crematorium was far away, the car that pulled the remains would not send the living people back. Li Ke had to come back with their car.

In the crematorium, Zhao Jie completed all the procedures, and Fu Ping'an accompanied Li Ke.

Li Ke was in good condition. He told Fu Ping'an that in order to treat his father, he sold all the equipment in the game, selling more than 10,000 yuan.

"My father hopes that his son will be successful and wants to train a college student, but I am not that material. I only scored more than 300 points in the college entrance examination, and the school I went to was not a regular college. I asked the graduates that the school gave an adult college entrance examination diploma. What's ridiculous is where to find a job for my major, international trade and technical school." Li Ke whispered his own thoughts.

"I went to school for a year and knew I was deceived. It would be better if I couldn't learn this, so I voluntarily dropped out of school. I played games all day in the Internet cafe at the entrance of the school. I was not for playing, I was a trainer, selling equipment, making money on this, and supporting myself. My mother died early, and my father took us brothers alone. I knew he had worked hard, so I wanted to be independent as soon as possible and make him more relaxed. I didn't expect him..."

Li Ke covered his face and couldn't say anything anymore. His body twitched and tears flowed out of his fingers.

Apart from a wall, Old Li was lying quietly in the ice coffin and could no longer hear his son's thoughts.

...

The next day, Lao Li was cremated. His family had no relatives and was a penniless little man. His death did not have any impact on the world except for the "puff", so the memorial service was not needed, and the body farewell ceremony was also exempted. After all, makeup requires money, renting an auditorium for the ceremony requires money, and even those plastic flowers are clearly marked with prices.

Old Li was pushed into the furnace and it took more than an hour to incinerate a person. Li Xiang and Li Ke didn't say a word and were strangers. Zhao Jie and Fu Ping'an represented the engineering team to help deal with the funeral. Zhao Jie said coldly: "Go back to the urn and take it home, and place it on at least three days of water seats."

"Why?" Fu Ping'an is a city native and does not understand the customs of the countryside.

"Friends and white things, relationships are for the sake of face, and for the second to collect paper money. After one session, you can at least charge a few thousand more. Apart from the money for holding a banquet, you can also make money." Zhao Jie was knowledgeable and popularized by Fu Ping'an. Holding funerals in the countryside is very different from those in the city. In addition to the flow of banquets, he also had to invite opera troupes to sing big operas. In recent years, he found a wild opera troupe to dance erotic dances. It was more open and open. The more this happened, the more there was a meeting in the village.

A memorial service for someone was being held in the funeral home hall in the distance. Amid the solemn and solemn sorrowful music, groups of people wearing black clothes and little white flowers walked into the memorial service hall in order to pay attention to their remains. When Fu Ping'an saw this scene, he thought about the grave dance that Zhao Jie mentioned, and felt that China was simply a binary society, and cities and rural areas were two completely different worlds.

Li Jianmin was at the memorial service. Today he saw a farewell to a business tycoon, an old senior in the manufacturing industry. When Li Jianmin went to the business, he received the care of this tycoon. Today he saw his old friend farewell, and he was separated by yin and yang, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

The eldest brother did not die naturally, but committed suicide by jumping off the building. Because the capital chain was broken, the bank contracted and the money was unwilling to lend money. It was obvious that there were assets but it could not be revitalized. Among the internal and external troubles, the eldest brother could not withstand the pressure and jumped down from his own office building.

This is the third entrepreneur to be jumped by Huaimen this year. The economic situation is difficult, small enterprises have gone bankrupt one after another, and life is not easy for large enterprises. Especially the real estate development industry, which is a capital-driven enterprise. It relies on leverage to acquire land in large quantities. If you don’t have the support of the bank, you can’t play with it. Now the money is tightening and there is a shortage of money everywhere. All the properties under construction developed by Jinghua have been suspended. I heard that a migrant worker committed suicide by jumping on a tower crane the day before yesterday, probably to ask for wages.

Thinking of the towering tower crane, Li Jianmin couldn't help but have some idea that committing suicide in his own house or car would cause the house to fall and the car would not be sold at a price. It was not good to commit suicide in an office building, but it was still a quick way to jump the tower crane on the construction site.

After the memorial service, Li Jianmin went home first and began to arrange his funeral in an orderly manner. He estimated that his memorial service would be as grand as the elder brother, but then the creditors would come to the door to move out all the valuable things. The house had been mortgaged long ago, and it belonged to the bank. All his assets were like the corpses of antelope on the African prairie. They were first eaten by lions, then hyenas and vultures. They would soon turn into a thick white bone. Fortunately, he didn't have to watch it happen. As for his wife, children, they could only leave it to fate. His son Li Gen has already gone to college, and this child has been spoiled. He just hopes that his life path will be smooth and smooth without his father's care in the future.

...

The construction site of Florence Garden is in a slump. Several engineering teams have been evacuated. Lao Zhao's team is also about to withdraw, leaving only a few people to guard the construction site. Fu Ping'an went to ask the boss for salary. Boss Zhao said, "You go and ask for money from Li Jianmin. Are you not a relative introduced by his son?" Fu Ping'an was speechless to tell him that the boss really has no money. The engineering team has not received any salary for more than fifty years. Others owe more money because they do not get monthly salary. The money is kept in the boss's hands and is only paid during festivals.

The workers all evacuated. They had to spend money to eat and drink on the construction site. It would be better to go home and rest. If you have work, you would say hello and come back. But Fu Ping'an was different. He didn't plan to work as a migrant worker for the rest of his life. He felt that he was once again lashed out by fate.

In late autumn, the leaves are yellow and the north wind is bleak. Li Jianmin drove his Duke King to the Florence Garden construction site, which he once had high hopes. He parked his car at the gate and walked into the construction site with deep and shallow feet. There were almost no people here. He walked under a tower crane. The construction site was powered and water cut off. He could not get up, so he could only climb up with his bare hands. Fortunately, Li Jianmin often exercised, and after a break, he climbed to the top to overlook the construction site. This was a great country he had built.

Li Jianmin was looking for a suitable landing point to jump down, but suddenly he found someone on the floor below. He looked closely and saw that it was a worker wearing a safety helmet. He was squatting on the floor and working. It was strange that the construction site had been shut down for a long time. Why was there still someone working? Li Jianmin was very curious and looked quietly for a long time to make sure that the person was not a thief who came to steal things, and was indeed working.

This was an incomprehensible thing. Li Jianmin even forgot his purpose of climbing to the ceiling of the tower. He climbed down again, went up the floor, and came to the migrant worker. He saw him building steel bars, working attentively and focused without distraction.

"Little brother, don't you know that the construction site has stopped?" Li Jianmin asked.

"I know." The little foreman didn't raise his head.

"Then why are you still doing it?"

"This is my work with Lao Li. I promised Lao Li that I have to finish it."

"Where is Lao Li?"

"Old Li jumped on the tower crane."

"Oh..." Li Jianmin was deeply moved by the words of this little worker, "This is my job, I have to finish it." This sentence echoed in his heart like a rolling thunder.
