Chapter 132 Everyone is Quite Foolish

"Tired, I need a smoke," Wu Jun said, digging in the yard for a while; the aches in his back and waist were enough to convince him to stand up without hesitation and step outside to light a cigarette.

This time, he smoked his own brand of Liqun, which was strong enough that just half a cigarette could numb him.

Jiang Yuan came out to join him for a quick drag and said, "Why don't you just take a break outside? We can handle things in here."

"Okay," Wu Jun surprisingly agreed without ado.

Jiang Yuan was slightly taken aback; in his impression, Comrade Wu Jun was quite the hard worker, usually reluctant to slack off. Could it be that the sight of the garbage picker's tragic state had suddenly triggered a reexamination of life?

Seeing the look on Jiang Yuan's face, Wu Jun laughed and said, "After all, for this trip, I'm just excess baggage, so why put in so much effort?"

"That's not true, considering your seniority," Jiang Yuan consoled, though his words lacked sincerity.
