While Zhihao wakes up he looks he starts looking around and when his eyes go to alarm he remembers where he is. while observing it alarm starts ringing after a few seconds.

While hearing it he knows that he needs to get up soon and go to work. While lying still on the bed he said "oh I hope I will not burn kitchen here" and he gets up while making some simple food for himself.

After he did with it he changes and starts going to another address that he has where he suppose to come to start working. While coming closer he could see that nobody is there so he comes to the wall and starts waiting for someone to come.

While doing it he could see that more people come there. While waiting some guy around his age come and stay close to him. While looking at him he asks "waiting for them open"

Hearing his Zhihao turn to him while opening his closed eyes and said "yes"

"I hope today she will come sooner," the stranger said to him

"Oh why she should be late"

"Oh you see she is old and sometimes she oversleep," the stranger said to Zhihao

"Oh good to know"

"Your first work"

"Nope I have in last vacations and now time for something harder"

"It's my first and I need to earn money soon"

"For what"

"Oh you see my siblings look at me to have something to eat"

"And your parents" Zhihao ask

"They spend all for alcohol and nothing goes to us. And while having four younger siblings I need as oldest work for their future to let them go to school easily. "

"Oh you are the good brother that cares about your siblings"

"Not that great but I'm trying. And you need money for something"

"Oh you see my kick me and said to work"

"Oh so you have better than I. oh I forgot to introduce myself I'm Zhehan Long and you"

"Oh, I'm Zhi" Zhihao answer and move his hand to shake. While they shake they hands Zhehan said "I hope we will work together"

Hearing him Zhihao answers "yes I hope too". Before they could continue old lady come there and she open reception. Seeing it most the people wake up from waiting and start going inside.

When the time comes Zhihao come inside and before he could say something he could hear "money weekly and you will work there" she said and point on the map where nothing been but only area 32. Seeing it Zhihao only said "ok" and go out.

While being outside he starts looking where he should go and before he starts walking Zhehan come while saying "were you working"

"32," Zhihao said while looking at Zhehan eyes.

Hearing Zhihao words Zhehan said "oh at the same place like me so let's go there.

"Ok," Zhihao said and they start walking. After some time and asking a few people they come to empty space. While being there around 30 years old guy come while saying "you are my new workers"

Hearing him Zhihao and Zhehan answer at the same time "yes"

"Ok here you have," he said while giving them shovels while adding "you have that place for digging we can't use heave equipment for now. They are using it there" and he points in another place.

"Ok" they answer at the same time and go to a place where they should dig. While first go easy for Zhihao he could feel that it will be hard. Not only ground been hard to dig there but some rests of old building left.

While slowly digging he could see that Zhehan move fast so he said to him "calm down a little. You will lose energy to fast"

"Oh good idea" Zhehan answer him and they go with the same speed. After an hour or two suns start going up so Zhihao takes his shirt and placed on his head to fight with sunstroke. While digging they could hear voice "small break"

Hearing it Zhihao and Zhehan start doing in the middle and come there.

While coming closer they could see around twenty men's hiding and moving a lot to somewhere. While coming closer words of someone come "let rookies drink too"

Hearing it space come and Zhihao and Zhehan come there and drink a little of cold water. While doing it Zhihao could feel that it's the best water he been drinking.

After they drink Zhehan take Zhihao hands and they come to free space undercover and while sitting on ground he said "thanks bro for that advice it helps a lot"

"Oh no problem lets rest for some time now and we will need to go back to work," Zhihao said while lying on the ground and closing his eyes.
