It's a shame to go back after being robbed.
You can earn all the way to Haicheng.
When you get to a small dock in the county, you can buy tickets to the next more prosperous place, where you can buy tickets directly to Haicheng.
Zhang Qi took out all his family and bought tickets for everyone. The rest was used to buy big cakes.
So I'm broke.
Everyone boarded the boat. The boat was not big. A few people sat in a row. Meng Li held the child in his arms and worked in his body.
On the water, the boat is moving again, which makes people feel a little cold. Zhang Qi puts his clothes on Guo Liujun. Guo Liujun takes a look at Meng Li and shows off secretly.
Meng Li ignored it directly.
What is there to show off about enjoying the hospitality of other people's husbands?
Everyone's expression is not relaxed, and so at noon, to the dock, a few people on the shore, have a very confused feeling.
Meng Li said to Zhang Qi:
"there are temporary porters yelling over there. Would you like to fight for one afternoon?"
Zhang Qishun looked at Meng Li's eyes, looked at a bare man with a towel on his shoulder and yelled.
Zhang Qi hesitated, and Bao Xingfa said bitterly:
"don't ask."
Guo Liujun was silent, but Zhang Qi said: "let's go."
They moved their steps towards the man, who looked at the first three men and said:
"looking for a job?"
Zhang Qi nodded, and the man looked at him. He looked like a man with strength. He said:
"OK, do it at any time and go at any time."
"How much is that?"
"It depends on how much resistance you have. The ship will stop there." The man pointed to a boat from which someone was carrying large bags of goods.
Unloading.
"How much for one?"
"How long have you been working? You've been short of manpower these days."
"How much is it?"
"Well, if it can be done for a few days, the price will be higher, so that I won't find another one tomorrow."
"Not sure."
"It's a day."
"It's just for today. How much is it?"
"Three pieces of copper, isn't that interesting?"
Zhang Qi narrowed his eyes to see such a large piece of goods. When he unloaded three pieces, there was only one copper plate. He couldn't help but gasp. His expression was very hesitant.
But the man was impatient and said, "do you want to do it or not? If you don't, don't delay me to find someone else. "
Bao Xingfa said: "do it, do it."
"Three, right?"
Zhang Qi nodded depressed.
The three of them went to carry things. Meng Li found a place to sit down and practice with his child.
At first, Guo Liujun was reluctant to sit down. Finally, he seemed to be tired and sat beside Meng Li.
It's not easy to earn this copper. It takes about seven or eight minutes to move a piece of goods back and forth, two or three copper in an hour.
Now it takes about 300 copper to get a silver dollar.
Meng Li and Guo Liujun didn't talk to each other, so they just waited.
Wait and wait. They had been working for nearly four hours. It was almost dark before they finished.
Watching them come out, Guo Liujun stands up and Meng Li follows.
Zhang Qi walked in the front with red cheeks and panting. Guo Liujun quickly took out a handkerchief from his body and raised his hand. He wanted to wipe Zhang Qi's sweat. Meng Li coughed. Guo Liujun pursed his mouth and handed the handkerchief to Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi said thank you and gently wiped the sweat on his face.
Guo Liujun said with some heartache:
"hard work."
Zhang Qi shook his head:
"it's not hard."
They went to the man to settle their wages. The man counted the goods they moved, took out a handful of coppers from his body, counted them, and said to Zhang Qi:
"Oh, brother, it's not enough. Come and get them tomorrow?"
Ten coppers is equivalent to an afternoon's work.
It's not enough. Zhang Qi quarrels with the man for a while, but the family, relying on the fact that they are local people, watches Zhang Qi, an outsider, go ashore, and there are more than a dozen workers behind him to support him. They just refuse to give him.
If you have to leave in a hurry, you can't take the money tomorrow.
No matter how hard Zhang Qi's mouth is, it's useless for Guo Liujun to reason in a cold voice. He can only swallow this tone and take part of it.
Twenty coppers is at least enough for them to find a place to sleep for one night and have some cheap food by the way.
After an afternoon's work and two days without any oil in his stomach, Guo Liujun suggested eating some beef noodles.
It tastes like meat and oil, and it's better than cakes.Sitting at the roadside stall, under the dim light, Guo Liujun looked at Meng Li and said:
"when you just asked for money, you didn't say a word. Usually you don't have such a strong mouth. Don't you take yourself as such a pedestrian?"
I'm really tired of this kind of people. They don't come forward to protect their own interests, but they have to eat when they eat.
Meng Li said faintly:
"you are the most noisy, the most reasonable and the loudest. The question is do you want the money back?"
Guo Liujun choked and said:
"you see, now I have a bad mouth. Although I didn't want to come, I'm in charge of it. I take it as my own business."
"Unlike you, you don't care about their labor. They work so hard to move things just to have a place to settle down tonight, so you know that you can enjoy their success."
Guo Liujun for three men to fight against injustice, so that the hearts of the three men are across a trace of warmth.
At the same time, I feel that the difference between women and women is so big.
Also let Zhang Qi feel a little disgusted to his wife for no reason.
Meng Li said:
"didn't you find that you only yelled four bowls of beef noodles?"
"And you don't have to worry about your stay tonight." Meng Li said.
It's hard to argue.
Guo Liujun looked at Zhang Qi for a moment, and Zhang Qi said in a low voice:
"just now she said that she was not hungry and did not eat."
For the sentence after Meng Li, we only think that Meng Li is angry.
Guo Liujun snorted.
I want to say that now I have a bad mouth. If I have the backbone, I will really find a place to live by myself.
Meng Li laughs. He drank a tube of nutriment before. No matter how bad it is, he can manage it for two days.
I really don't have much appetite now.
And look at the beef noodles are not delicious, do not want to eat things, not forced to eat, not suffering.
There are five pieces of beef on Guo Liujun's noodles. Guo Liujun chooses the fastest one for Zhang Qi, and the other two choose one in their bowl.
Zhang Qi found this little detail, and his heart beat faster.
Guo Liujun kept saying that it was delicious and fragrant.
I'm greedy for people who don't eat.
Meng Li's face doesn't change. He feels that Guo Liujun is competing with her now.
Guo Liujun wants Zhang Qi to be special to her.
