At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the ship anchored in Fucheng, and Sun Yuqiang went ashore with a group of his fellow villagers. When parting, Ye Ziyu was a little reluctant, the two shook hands, and Sun Yuqiang said: "Goodbye, little brother, take care all the way." You are from a big city, and you are a college student, and your status is more noble than ours. But these days with us migrant workers in the pile, and you don't look down on us at all, you will be a good man in the future, good luck to you!"

Ye Ziyu originally looked down on the migrant workers to some extent, and if he bought a fourth-class or third-class ticket this time, he was afraid that he would not talk to these migrant workers. When he heard Sun Yuqiang's words, he couldn't help but be grateful and ashamed, and said: "If it weren't for Brother Qiang's help, I wouldn't even have a place to sleep, so what else would I look down on you?" If you are still working in Nancheng in the future, brother may go to Nancheng when he meets, and when we meet, I will definitely have a drink and have a drink with you!"

The two waved goodbye, and Sun Yuqiang went ashore. Ye Ziyu suddenly thought of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Wei Xiaobao walked the rivers and lakes, always making a lot of silver come out, so that people and others praised endlessly. When he reads novels, he always imagines himself to be heroic and spending. But this time, I got along with friends in the rivers and lakes for five days, but I didn't get half a penny to feast everyone. He thought that if he could invite these people to the restaurant to order food and eat and drink, how happy they would be and how much they would admire him! Of course, it's also because he really doesn't have any money. If they have money, I'm afraid they may not know each other. It seems that there will be a lot of training in the future.

Counting on his fingers, Ye Ziyu spent five days and five nights on the ship, and there was still one day and one night to sail from his destination. His forty-six yuan and two cents are now only a fraction of two cents and two cents. Where will the money come from for the last day's meal?

If Ye Ziyu's personality has a timid side in dealing with strange things, then the identity of this college student happens to give him infinite pride and makes up for it. He estimated in his heart that he would not be able to bear it if he didn't eat for a day and a night. What should I do? He thought about it for a long time, and when he had an idea, he simply walked to the captain's room. When he came to the captain's room, he suddenly remembered the scene when he met the engineering captain on the south river side of Jincheng last year.

The captain's room was at the head of the cabin on the second floor, and after Ye Ziyu passed, he saw a man in his fifties reading the newspaper in the captain's room. He was not afraid, raised his feet and went in, and said directly: "Hello captain." ”

This man was the captain, he lowered the newspaper, looked at Ye Ziyu, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Ye Ziyu did not hide it, told his own situation, and then said, can he help the ship do some odd jobs and earn money for food? After hearing this, the captain felt a little strange, he stared at Ye Ziyu, smiled, and asked, "Which school are you studying in, do you have a student ID?"

Ye Ziyu hurriedly informed and handed over the student ID. The captain still laughed and asked Ye Ziyu to talk about his insights and encounters along the way. Ye Zishu thought to himself, it seems that this old man is also in a panic, and he is looking for someone to set up a dragon gate array.

He started by train and talked about his experience along the way. The captain listened with great interest. The two chatted for an hour, and later, the captain thought for a while and said to Ye Ziyu: "There doesn't seem to be anything for you to do on the ship, well, so let's do it, you can wash the aft deck with water at noon and night, and then go directly to the restaurant to get a boxed lunch, and I will greet them." ”

Ye Ziyu was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and then left the captain's room. He went outside, and saw the captain having fun there.

Back in the back cabin, Ye Ziyu thought to himself, I am afraid that the captain took care of him on this errand. By noon, he went to the aisle, unscrewed the switch on the side of the boat, and the pipe automatically sucked in water from the river, and then put a long rubber pipe on the outlet, and he could carry it in his hand to wash the deck. Ye Ziyu was doing happily, what kind of work is this, he is purely playing in the water. He opened the hose so wide that the water shot out and splashed in all directions, and some of the passengers standing on the deck took refuge, and he laughed with the pleasure of a naughty mischief in his heart. After a while, the deck was washed brightly, and he felt that it was not too hidden, so he pointed the water faucet at the river, and saw a silver chain shooting into the river, and he was in a very happy mood.

After finishing his work, he thought about the time to eat, rushed to the restaurant, and was thinking about how to ask someone to get food, but he was glad to see that the captain was actually present. When the captain saw him come in, he was still laughing, and told the staff who sold the lunch box to get the boy a boxed lunch. When the crew saw the captain speak, they didn't ask much, and handed over a boxed lunch to Ye Ziyu. Ye Ziyu took it and went out to eat by himself. In the afternoon, he painted the gourd again. The day passed smoothly, and he was not hungry.

Since the ship will arrive at the end at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. That night, all the migrant workers sleeping on the deck had disembarked, leaving Ye Ziyu alone to sleep on the empty deck. He was not afraid, counting the shining stars in the night sky, thinking that after arriving at the port tomorrow, he would have to call Yan Motong and ask him to come to the dock to pick him up. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would have to pick up the train before he could return to Jincheng.

When I woke up the next day, it was dawn, but it was early, and there was still no one on deck. Ye Ziyu stretched his waist, rolled his eyes, and a strange thought came out, he saw that there was no one left and right, he actually stood on the railing, unbuttoned his trouser belt, and peed on the surface of the river, and at the same time said proudly in his heart: I live at the head of the river, you live at the end of the river, Lao Tzu pees upstream, and you drink saliva downstream. Ha ha!
