Chapter 18: A Place of Shelter
It has not started work for 5 days, and the employers who came forward to ask were basically robbed by the two groups, and she gradually discovered the doorway here, although there are many people waiting for workers in the building materials market, but most of the casual workers like her generally appear for one day, and they will not come again the next day, and some will not come again even if they appear again the next day, so they will naturally not come again, so the small forces of those people will become more and more stable.
And in their eyes, like Su Feng, they are also the first time to meet, many people are so troubled by them, and they will leave the next day, but this girl is different, she asked the two eldest sisters to talk to her before, and allowed her to pay 5 yuan a day, and allowed her to take a small job here, but not only did she disagree, but she also continued to solicit customers without care, and if they didn't follow their rules in their territory, they could only get out, according to their plan, at most another week, and when she couldn't afford it, she would definitely retreat.
Su Feng looked down on this kind of person in her heart, she didn't want to pit people with them, and she didn't want her hard-earned hard-earned money to be swept away by this group of leeches, but if she didn't work, a few dollars in her pocket couldn't support it for a few days, thinking of this, Su Feng became more and more anxious but there was nothing to do, and it was a wasted day, on the way back to the hotel, Su Feng bought a baked cake by the way, and it was cold water, Su Feng carefully ate half of the cake, she had already wrapped the other half and left it for tomorrow's breakfast, there were 2 girls living in the room, and they knew that they were not from farm work at a glance, and the two of them were talking and laughing and eating mustard, bread, didn't care about Su Feng, Su Feng was not in the mood to talk to them, and climbed into bed after a hasty wash, although he hadn't started work for a few days, but his body didn't know whether he was hungry. It's tired, in short, it's terrible, Su Feng turned her face to the wall, and quietly pulled out her father's cigarette pouch pot from under the pillow, she closed her eyes, stroked carefully, and inhaled lightly with her nose, and even asked the familiar and somewhat pungent smell of dry smoke, as if she was back in that grass house, the third sister was roasting corn kernels, the eldest sister was doing needlework, Daddy was smoking, and the mother on the kang was smiling and listening to her jokes...... Looking at the endless crowd in the market, Su Feng gritted his teeth and thought, no matter what happens, he must find a job today, but in less than 2 hours, the gang estimated that the repetition of several groups of guests was pryed away, watching the two women take a couple aside and mutter, Su Feng could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, she stepped forward bravely, grabbed the hand of one of the women and shouted
"Is it interesting that you are pouring dirty water on me all day long?", the employer was obviously startled by the angry girl in front of him, and immediately slipped away while the two women were stunned, and the two women didn't expect Su Feng to have the courage to come forward and question, and for a while they didn't think of how to quibble, Su Feng asked again
"Say that my hands and feet are not clean, how did you see it, I have only been here for less than a week, and I have only done the work of 2 families, which employer told you that I stole something, you tell me, I will go to them to confront them face to face", the people walking around were attracted by the shouting here, and immediately formed a circle, the two women were naturally not fuel-efficient lamps, and they came back to their senses and began to make up nonsense
"Who said that you are stealing the things of the customer, you have this problem at home, or everyone comes out to work together in the same village, why do you come out by yourself, obviously you were driven out", Su Feng was suddenly said to the sore spot,
"How did I get out of your business, I don't know you at all! Aren't you so blood-spraying people because you're afraid that my work is good and cheap, and I'll rob you of your livelihood!"
Their boss who has been "watching the battle" for a long time also helps in a weird way
"The little girl's mouth is quite hard, I tell you, we were originally a gang, but she went to work in other people's houses, didn't talk about stealing, and stole things, so we kicked her out ruthlessly, the people who came and went were curious to inquire, my sisters were fast-talking, and they said it, she was still not happy to listen, and now she is beating her upside down, as if we bullied her",
"You, you, you are talking nonsense" Su Feng stomped his feet angrily, originally the pedestrians around listened to Su Feng's words, and also felt that this group of people was more excessive, but as soon as they heard the man's words, they immediately turned the direction of the wind and talked about it, and the owners of the surrounding shops gradually attracted the shouting here, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they naturally understood the truth, and some well-wishers reminded in a low voice
"Forget it, don't go too far, how can this girl do here in the future", the man who took the lead continued to shout
"She shouldn't be looking for a job here", seeing such an unreasonable look, well-wishers are not squeaking...... Not far away, the young man who had unloaded the train overnight was about to call it a day and return to the shed, when the foreman who was counting found that there were several missing, so he asked curiously
"Huazi, how many of them are Junzi?" the man who was called Huazi smiled
"I guess I'm going to see the excitement again," the foreman sighed
"It seems that this night's work is still not tiring, and I still have the strength to go out to see the excitement", the remaining few people laughed when they heard it, Huazi said
"Brother Jun, I'll go find them and come back", before the words were finished, Junzi and a few people ran into the warehouse from the outside with a smile.
"Brother Jun, Boss Zhang, they are bullying outsiders again!", the foreman sneered
"Isn't this going to happen once in a few days, and who is the unlucky one to provoke him this time!", replied Junko
"A woman, thin and thin, is quite powerful, and has dealt with him for a few words, but there are many people, and it doesn't take a few words for people to go around, and it is estimated that she will be driven away at this time", seeing that the foreman frowned, Huazi immediately scolded Shunzi and signaled him not to laugh, and said roundly
"This group of people is not a thing, you said that we all came out of the countryside to work, as for the can't accommodate people so much, don't worry, the bad guys have their own harvest", a few people laughed, and hurriedly urged the foreman to go to the settlement with the boss of the goods...... 12 people walked out of the market, each thinking about how to get paid today, the foreman thought about the words of Shunzi just now, his eyes couldn't help but glance at both sides of the door, and when he looked to the right, he instantly froze, the girl in front of him who held a sign and kept sniffing was Su Feng, who had just finished a blind date with him a month ago, but after a month's effort, this girl was almost thin and out of shape, if it weren't for the two long braids, and that stubborn look, he really didn't dare to recognize it,
"Su Feng?" he slowly stepped forward and asked softly, Su Feng was obviously stunned, she didn't expect that someone would call her name here, turned her head and saw that the gray-faced man in front of him who was wearing a dress that could no longer see the color of his clothes turned out to be Baojun, Su Feng was so embarrassed that he even wanted to have a crack in the ground to get into, Baojun also stood there at a loss, I don't know what to do, Huazi looked at the appearance of the two of them, and asked curiously
"Brother Jun, you two know each other!", Baojun nodded slightly, and Junzi was also surprised when he heard that the two knew each other.
"Brother, it was her who Boss Zhang bullied just now, I, this, we don't know that you two know each other, otherwise I would definitely go up and cut him just now", Su Feng lowered his head and silently put the sign behind him, Baojun looked at Su Feng, and felt very uncomfortable, Huazi shouted
"Big guy go back first, Brother Jun will go to the shed to find us in a while", said to Baojun in a low voice
"Brother, you guys talk first, let's go back to the shed first, don't worry", Baojun nodded. After everyone left, looking at Su Feng, who was still silent, Baojun stepped forward and bent down and asked patiently
"Su Feng, why are you here, have you encountered any difficulties?", still without saying a word, Baojun continued to ask carefully
"Have you suffered any grievances, don't be afraid, if anyone provokes you, I will let my brothers help you out", Su Feng's eyes widened and he quickly shook his head, and Baojun smiled gently
"Well, then don't cry, it's time today, there won't be any more work, come with me, I'll invite you to dinner", Su Feng stubbornly wiped his eyes for a night
"I didn't cry," Bao Jun smiled
"Mmmm, I didn't cry, then I can treat you to a meal", he said and picked up Su Feng, took the paper shell in her hand, and threw it into the trash can, Su Feng called out regretfully
"I'm looking for someone to help write it, what will I use tomorrow!",
"Not tomorrow," Bao Jun comforted. Su Feng obediently walked behind Baojun, she didn't know why she would go with him, when she quarreled with Boss Zhang in the morning, in fact, she was so scared, afraid that the tendons in her calves and stomachs were twisted together, even if she lost the quarrel, she couldn't cry, she couldn't let outsiders see her fear, her cowardice, and at this moment, she couldn't support it anymore, the grievances of this time seemed to have grown wings, and she kept instigating tears, trying to escape from her eyes together, hearing the faint sobbing sound behind her, Baojun didn't look back, he knew that this stubborn girl should not want him to see her at this moment, but fate is so fond of joking, but they want to meet each other when they are most embarrassed, In the shed, because of Su Feng's Daolai, the pot exploded, some of the bare-bottomed ones were so frightened that they immediately pulled their pants, and some of the people who rubbed their feet quickly put on their shoes in embarrassment, Su Feng was frightened and quickly hid out, and Baojun touched his head embarrassedly
"You wait for me, I'll settle the accounts for the big guy, wash my body and come out", Su Feng nodded, and stood obediently outside the curtain, after a while, the workers who had received the money poured out of the shed in a gang, and they didn't change their clothes, in their eyes, it was more important to have money to go to the food stall to drink a small wine than to pamper themselves, in less than half an hour, the Baojun who had been washed and cleaned walked out, still wearing the flower shirt of the blind date that day, Su Feng couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the Baojun whose sideburns were still dripping
"You still look good in the clothes you work in," Bao Jun replied innocently
"It's too dirty, you can't wear it on the street, it's so clean, you just close your eyes and follow me!" , Su Feng was amused by him and laughed non-stop, at noon the street food stalls, there were not many guests, in the evening, people who like to drink and join in the fun began to gather here, chatting, the two of them found a quiet corner to sit down, Su Feng was a little apprehensive, a few yuan in her pocket was not enough for her to spend in this kind of place, but if she directly told Baojun that she had no money to eat food stalls, would he misunderstand, when she was conflicted, Baojun had already ordered 3 servings of shredded potatoes and rice, a bottle of beer, a plate of edamame, a plate of dried tofu, and a plate of sauced beef。
Baojun looked at the restless Su Feng and explained
"Since I worked last night, I haven't eaten breakfast, so I can only solve lunch and breakfast together, so I eat a little more, don't scare you", Su Feng shook his head, and after a while, two large plates of rice poured into his stomach, but Baojun didn't eat a piece of sauced beef, but kept urging Su Feng to eat some meat, seeing that Su Feng had eaten almost, Baojun asked tentatively
"Su Feng, why did you come to Harbin City, did you come here by yourself?", Su Feng nodded,
"Then why don't you come over and look for me?", Su Feng didn't know how to answer,
"Does your family know that you are like this?", Su Feng shook his head, and Baojun continued with a little distress
"The job in the city is easy to find, and it is easy to find, as long as you have the strength, it is not easy to find, it is not easy to find, everyone is holding the group, and it is inevitable that you will suffer by yourself", seeing that Su Feng was silent, Baojun continued
"Then where have you lived during this time, and do you still have enough money on you?", Su Feng said again and again
"Enough, enough," Bao Jun asked again
"What are you going to do next, you definitely can't do it in the building materials market, Boss Zhang's group can't accommodate the living", was suddenly said by Baojun, Su Feng didn't know what to do next, she looked up at Baojun, and when she saw Baojun's concerned gaze, she immediately lowered her head
"If it doesn't work, I'll give it back to you!", Baojun shook his head
"It's the same if you change to another place, there are Boss Li and Boss Wang in other places, what should I do if I bully you again, this kind of work is not something you can do as a girl!" Su Feng felt deep despair, she didn't know what she would do next, Bao Jun said
"Why don't you go home, at least the family doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you won't be angry", hearing Baojun's persuasion, Su Feng's tears fell again, how could she go home, and which home did she go back to, Baojun knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately apologized
"Su Feng, I'm also talking nonsense, don't go to your heart, there are many opportunities in big cities, and you can't starve to death for our blind finch", Su Feng asked in a low voice
"Can I work with you, I have the strength", Baojun said distressedly
"Our work is all done by rough old men, we have to carry everything, from shrimp crackers and fruits, to stone and coal, you really can't do it", Su Feng no longer insisted, and silently fiddled with the leftovers on the plate with tears in his eyes, Baojun thought about it for a while, and asked carefully
"It's okay, you can cook for us, I'll give you 150 yuan a month, including food and accommodation, but you can see the place where you live, it's the shed, but I'll give you a separate room, although it may have to be broken, but it will definitely be able to shelter from the wind and rain", Su Feng raised his head in surprise, and listened to Baojun's words incredulously, Baojun quickly explained
"I know the salary is not much, but we live less now and earn not much, and when there are more people in the peak season, can I give you a salary increase?" Su Feng quickly shook his head
"No, no, I didn't mean that, that's enough, enough is enough", Baojun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Feng asked uneasily
"Why are you helping me", Bao Jun smiled
"Because we are fellow countrymen!" The sudden work suddenly made Su Feng see the hope of life...... There's nothing like that
"People are groping in the dark, and a small point of light suddenly appears not far away" is more down-to-earth and expectant!
