Chapter 84: Reading the newspaper rewards a bun
Huang Li saw Wang Jiajia coming over violently, but she was not afraid at all, she took the fan in Xiao Yao's hand and slapped it at Wang Jiajia, and kept nagging:
"Don't pretend to be angry, I'm telling the truth, and I want you to be as happy and angry as I am. If you want to pretend, you just go back and pretend in your village, when we are together, you just let go of your mind, you bullshit elders, there is no effect on the outside, anyway, I only recognize you as a classmate, now, will be, and will always be. I won't let Xiao Yao recognize you as a cousin. ”
After Huang Li finished speaking, she wrapped her legs around Xiao Yao and dodged Wang Jiajia's outstretched hand. Huang Li said these rebellious words, Xiao Yao didn't dare to speak, and entered his skilled role in soy sauce again. Watch as the two of them chase around themselves.
"Don't make a fuss, it's too hot, let's sit down and listen to Xiao Yao finish talking about the rest of the matter. ”
"Well, you're sitting here. ”
Huang Li agreed, walked to Wang Jiajia's side, directly sat Wang Jiajia on the side of Xiao Yao's left hand, and sat back on Xiao Yao's right hand again, holding a fan, and fanning herself and the two of them together.
Xiao Yao saw the two of them sit down, and pulled his thoughts back to the tightly closed confinement room.
said that it was a confinement room, but in fact, it was the same room as the others, separated by a wall, and the whole room was empty, there was nothing, after Xiao Yao and Guo Liang entered, they sat down on the ground directly in the corner of the inside.
"Xiao Yao, will they just lock us up. ”
"I don't know, but if we don't let us go tomorrow, we're in trouble. ”
"Can we get out? There's no way out here except the gate, which has a guarded police house. ”
"Don't think about escaping, we didn't break the law, if we really escaped, then the nature would be different. ”
Under the dim light on the roof, Xiao Yao and Guo Liang whispered for a while, then sat there and fell asleep.
The sound of the door of the confinement room opening again woke Xiao Yao and Guo Liang up. They didn't know how long they had been asleep, and the sunlight shining in from outside the door couldn't tell what time it was.
"You two, come out. ”
Xiao Yao and Guo Liang were taken to the office of the Humpty Dumpty Man, who glanced at the two of them and said to Xiao Yao:
"The police station called, saying that the two of you are fine, you can go back to your room directly, and you will arrange study later, you will be responsible for reading the newspaper to everyone, and add a steamed bun to dinner." ”
"And when will we give us the money?"
"When someone from the police station sends it, it will naturally be given to you, but even if it is delivered, it will not be given to you now, it will be put together with your schoolbag, and it will be returned back to your hometown. ”
"We're hungry now, do we have anything to eat?"
"No, the food here is eight taels per person per day, two taels for breakfast, three taels for lunch and three taels for dinner. You don't need to participate in this afternoon's work, and when the work is over, you can read the newspaper to them. Tomorrow you have to go to work. ”
Humpty Dumpty spoke to them and then pointed to a room opposite:
"Go over there now, and wait for the end of your labor, and when you are assembled, come to me and get the newspaper." ”
When Xiao Yao walked towards the house, he saw that all the people were in the shade of the compound, holding something unclear in one hand, and pulling the strip of cloth in the other hand. The strips of cloth were all pulled into yarn, and a lot of fluffy yarn was placed around everyone, all kinds of colors. Xiao Yao looked at Guo Liang and said:
"It seems that that is the work of our labor. It doesn't seem to be that hard. ”
"I used to think that the work was to go to the field to do farm work, but it seems that it is relatively easy. However, I can't figure out why we just came here and asked you to read the newspaper to them, and call it study. ”
"I don't know, maybe I'm taller than you. There was nothing to eat, so we looked for something to get some water to drink, and when we were thirsty, we also had some water. ”
The two of them walked into Humpty Dumpty's designated room, and a strange smell came to their nostrils, worse than the school's boys' dormitory. On the left-hand side of the room, a row of bunks less than a foot above the ground, from the wall of the doorway to the back wall, occupies half of the room, covered with straw with a broken bedsheet, and slipping against the wall, all of them are thin, folded and messy, dirty and covered with stains. On the right hand side of the door, there are a lot of aluminum vegetable basins and chopsticks. Xiao Yao and Guo Liang didn't know which one they should use, and they both frowned.
"Take one of them and wash and drink water, I'm almost out of breath when I stay here. ”
Xiao Yao and Guo Liang didn't go inside, just by the door, each took a vegetable basin and walked towards the tap pool.
They were by the sink, washing their faces and washing their vegetable basins, and when they had finished drinking the water, they did not rush back to the unpleasant smelling room, but stood there and talked. After a while, a bell was heard. A manager walked to the crowd of people who were unpacking the yarn and began to weigh everyone and collect the yarn.
"It seems that this labor still has a task, and it is not just as much as you can do. ”
"I just don't know if there are many tasks, and if I can't complete the task, will I be punished?"
After everyone's things were collected, there was no assembly, just let everyone return to their places, and the manager shouted at Xiao Yao:
"You, tall man, go and bring the newspaper, read it to them here, and eat in half an hour. ”
Xiao Yao walked to Humpty Dumpty's office, Humpty Dumpty handed Xiao Yao a copy of "Shanghai Daily", and let Xiao Yao go without specifying which article to read. When Xiao Yao walked to the middle of the crowd, Guo Liang also sent the vegetable pot back and sat down beside Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao sorted out the newspaper in his hand and looked at the dozens of people around him, both men and women, young and old, each of whom had a sallow face. Sluggishness. The clothes on my body are dirty, and I can't get dirty anymore. Xiao Yao looked at the newspaper, found a random article, and read it.
Half an hour of reading the newspaper really made Xiao Yao's mouth dry when he read it, if he hadn't drunk enough water before, this time, it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to last so long, Xiao Yao was secretly glad that he thought it was easy to read the newspaper, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to complete.
The bell rang again, and the management staff brought Xiao Yao and Guo Liang two vegetable basins and a pair of chopsticks each. And let them go to the pantry to get the quilt after dinner.
Xiao Yao, who never likes to line up, has to line up with everyone this time, but it's much faster than the school, without how much you want, how much I will give you, unified with a rice spoon, one rice spoon for one person, the speed is very fast, it didn't take long to arrive at Xiao Yao, he cooked well, and the person who made the meal handed Xiao Yao a yellowed steamed bun, Xiao Yao took it, and went to fight vegetables and soup with everyone. Another rice spoonful of stewed Chinese cabbage, put it in the rice bowl, there was no oil star on the dish, and a spoonful of soup with broken tofu floating on it also had no oil splashes.
Xiao Yao and Guo Liang cooked the meal, came to the side, sat on the ground to eat, he handed the steamed bun to Guo Liang, Guo Liang didn't want it, said that it would be good if he could eat the meal, and he couldn't eat the steamed bun when he looked at it. Xiao Yao put the steamed bun in his hand and ate the unpalatable meal.
