When it was almost dark, Lu Yao walked out of a chicken farm halfway up the mountain, and he was in a very happy mood at the moment. Because the owner of this chicken farm told him to come over tomorrow for a trial work, and if he was qualified, he could stay. I have food and housing every month, and the basic salary is 120 yuan. The whole month is endless, plus ten dollars of full attendance award.

He walked barefoot to a banana orchard and saw several workers picking bananas. When they saw Lu Yao, who looked like a beggar, they all stared at him with disgust. Before Lu Yao could open his mouth to ask, he was chased away by a strong man who looked five big and three thick, black and had a sideways face. The strong man also cursed a few vicious words in his mouth: "Stinky and begging for food! Get out of here! Come and steal bananas again in the middle of the day? Why didn't you starve to death? If you don't get out of here, I'll break your dog's legs!"

The aggrieved Lu Yao opened his mouth a few times and wanted to explain, but when he saw that this guy who looked like a foreman was so arrogant and unreasonable, and he was so vicious when he opened his mouth, it was really not good. Working with him must have suffered a lot of sin, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

When he was almost halfway up the hill on crutches, he saw a pig farm on the left platform. This time he had learned the lesson of going to the banana plantation barefoot and on crutches just now, and he had to clean himself up.

By this time, his clothes and the two rubber shoes hanging from the crutches were almost dry, and he found a stone to sit down and put shoes on his injured left foot first. Fortunately, Wu Jingsheng's shoes are one size bigger, and Lu Yao's feet are already relatively thin, so he usually wears his size 40 shoes a little loose. Wu Jingsheng's size 41 rubber shoes are about the same as size 42 sneakers, and they are just right on his belted left foot.

He put on his galoshes, stood up and took two steps. Although the left foot is a little taller than the right foot, it is much more comfortable to walk with shoes on than to walk barefoot. He shook off his crumpled clothes and trousers, buttoned the two open shirts, and bowed his head to check them carefully to make sure they were not wrongly buttoned, and then he walked to the pig farm on crutches.

He came to the gate of the pig farm and saw a worker wearing a hat and a face mask walking out of the gate with a bucket of pig manure, and he quickly greeted politely: "Master, are you recruiting workers here?"

The worker slowly put down the bucket cart full of pig manure, stared at Lu Yao up and down with only two eyes that were exposed, and then asked angrily: "Young man, have you just gone out of the house? Have you ever done farm work? Can you move a hundred catties of pig feed?"

"Yes, yes, I just came out of my hometown, my hometown is rural, and I work at home all year round. One hundred catties of wheat, I can walk more than ten miles of mountain roads on my back without resting. Lu Yao smiled and replied honestly.

"I see that you look white and pure, not like a person who has done heavy work, you should be a teacher, right? Learn from others to leave their jobs without pay and go to the sea to do business? Young man, listen to my advice, go back and continue to teach and educate people! Although the salary is not high and the job is still very boring, it is very noble and has a very stable income. The most important thing is that you will not lose your job easily, you should cherish it! The outside world is indeed very exciting, and the outside world also has a lot of impatience. When I don't have a job, I desperately look for a job, and when I have a job, I worry every day that I won't get a salary, and I have to worry about being fired by my boss all the time, and I face unemployment again every minute.

I am a lesson, when I was in my hometown, I worked as an administrator at the county grain station, and since I came out last year, I have changed four jobs, and I am about to lose my job again. At lunch today, my boss talked to me and said that a distant relative from his hometown would come over in a few days and asked me to go out tomorrow to find a job. It's true that we're recruiting workers, but it's a strong man who pulls pig manure and pulls pigs onto the car. I can't do it, you can't do it, you can't do it. I advise you not to go in and go to the boss, for nothing!" As soon as the worker's words were spoken, several shouts of scolding came from the shed inside: "Old Lu! What are you doing slowly? There are still three tons of pig manure in the No. 2 pigsty! If you can't finish pulling it today, I will deduct your wages!"

"You can't do this job, so let's go quickly! Seeing that it's not easy for you to come out, you've come here too, so let's go up the mountain a little longer." There is a domestic chicken farm on it, and the boss is not bad to people, saying that he does not have to recruit workers. Before it gets dark, you hurry up and have a look. Old Lu said.

"Hey, thank you, Brother Lu!" Lu Yao said gratefully.

"Thank you? Just a word, I don't say that you will find it. is the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we meet. You and I are thousands of miles away, and we have traveled thousands of mountains and rivers to meet here, which is fate. It's not too early, young man, you still have to look for a job, I'm very busy, so don't leave it at that. As long as the fate of our brothers is not over, I believe there is still a time to see each other again. After Lao Lu finished speaking, he bent down and pulled the handlebar of the bucket truck, pulled the bucket truck with all his strength, and walked towards a dung pit in front of him.

Lu Yao stretched out his hand to help several times, but Lao Lu refused, saying that the bucket car was stained with pig manure, don't dirty him, and he would be disgusted when he went to the chicken farm later with the smell of pig manure.

Lu Yao saw Lao Lu pulling the heavy bucket cart away, and he suddenly remembered something, so he chased Lao Lu quickly with a cane.

Lao Lu, who was standing on the edge of the manure pit, was shoveling pig manure, and when he saw Lu Yao limping after him, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Young man, have you injured your foot? Wait a minute, I'll go to the dormitory and take out the liquor and medicine and rub it for you. ”

"Brother Lu, my foot was pierced by porcelain, I have already dealt with it, nothing more. I'm here to tell you that my cousin works on a construction site at Yamashita Airport. In the past two days, I have traveled to all the construction sites, and those construction sites need large and medium workers, if you know carpentry, rebar workers, plasterers, you can go to work, and you can also eat and live. Lu Yao said.

"Okay, thank you, brother, I'm planning to look at the airport construction site tomorrow. Although I have never done carpentry officially, my father is a well-known carpenter in my hometown, and I have been exposed to carpentry since I was a child. It's like making a bench or a dinner table, I can make it with my eyes closed. Old Lu said as he shoveled pig manure into the manure pit.

"That's great, my eldest brother has the skills and doesn't have to worry about finding a job. Brother Lu, I won't bother you with your work, goodbye!" Lu Yao finished speaking, turned around and walked towards the mountain.
