Chapter 12: Heaven Has No Way
This is a train bound for Henan, and they are going to take refuge or find a truth. Day after night, the train finally arrived at the Zhengzhou railway station in the capital of Henan Province. What kind of railway station is this? The square is full of people, and there are rows of trays with signs; there are people buying and selling second-hand mobile phones, some buying fruits, and some introducing jobs. It's just the same as the downtown of Shenzhen, suddenly an aunt-level person came to Awang and asked if he wanted special services, Awang was not surprised by this set of street sayings that had been around for a long time, but this blue sky and daylight, suddenly came out of this kind of words It was really a little unbearable, he quickly took Xinlan and walked away.
On the same day, they rented a single room in the suburbs with a monthly rent of 200 yuan, and Xinlan slept on the bed while Ngawang made a bunk on the floor. After paying 200 yuan in monthly rent and 50 yuan in deposit, there is not much money left from the last theft. Both siblings knew that the most urgent thing now was not to go to Xinlan's nurse mother, but to find a way to earn money so that they would not starve to death for the time being.
Early the next morning, Ngawang quietly got up from the ground and was about to go out, when he was stopped by Xinlan as soon as his hand touched the doorknob.
"Brother, where are you going!"
Ngawang squeaked and said, "Brother, brother go buy breakfast." β
"Is it true? I wouldn't do anything else by the way. β
"Oh! thisβ" Ngawang scratched the back of his head.
"Brother, we are not children now, we can work to earn money, it doesn't matter how much money there is, it is enough to have something to eat. If I steal again, I will be imprisoned if I am caught, do you want me to never see my brother again?" Ngawang looked back at Xinlan and said with a wry smile: "How can my brother let you go to work! Don't worry, my brother can support you, and my brother will not steal, so my brother will go to find a job now."
"Brotherβ"
"Okay, it's still early, you can sleep again, brother go buy breakfast now, and see if there is a suitable job by the way. I'll be right back,"
Ngawang walked aimlessly on the street, although there was already light in the east, there were still few pedestrians on the street, and the people were busy preparing for the early morning vendors. Ngawang stopped at an employment agency with a Chinese think tank on it, and he saw a lot of them on the streets of Shenzhen, but unlike Shenzhen, there was no support in front of the store, and the faΓ§ade was much smaller. If you are in Shenzhen, those who are far away will greet you warmly when they see people, in short, they will get you into the agency anyway.
work, Ngawang doesn't want to find a job, as long as he can support his sister, no matter how hard and tired he is, he is willing. Ngawang looked at the narrow staircase and the half-open window on the second floor, and mustered up the courage to go up. It seems that the company has not officially worked, this is a 4 meters wide, 10 meters long house, the walls on both sides are hung with big-character posters, a company is boasted of being a god, under the wall is a neat row of tables, chairs and benches, there are two computers at the innermost service desk, and a female employee about 20 years old wearing professional clothes is chatting leisurely about video.
Ngawang knocked softly on the door, but the clerk did not respond at all, Ngawang coughed a little louder twice, and the frightened clerk hurriedly took off the headset and stood up. When she saw that the person standing at the door was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, she breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted Ngawang with a smile on her face: "Handsome guy, come from Xinjiang, what kind of job do you need to find?" Ngawang said timidly: "Can you just take a look?" "Yes, come in and fill out a resume!" "Resume, what resume?" "Oh! The female clerk led Ngawang to the service desk, picked up a pen and a resume from the table and handed them to Ngawang. Ngawang looked at the resume and asked puzzledly, "What to fill in?", the female staff said with a smile: "The form is all stated, your age, education, home address, what work experience you have, and what job you want to find, just fill it in." β
Ngawang squeaked and said, "Sister, I have no work experience and no education. β
"Yes, you don't have any experience as a child, or tell me what you know?"
"I would chop wood, dig up the earth, and build walls with my big brother. β
The female clerk waved her hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay." That's good, you pay 100 yuan to get a season card, and I promise to introduce you to an easy-earning job."
"Eldest sister, what kind of card do you get? I don't have any money. β
The female clerk stared at Ngawang and said, "Young man, you're not kidding, are you!" Ngawang repeated what he had just said. The female clerk yelled angrily at Ah Wang: "No money, no money, you dare to come to me, no money, you go to the train station to find it!" Ah Wang was driven downstairs by her and pushed. Ngawang didn't expect the female staff's attitude to change so quickly, he just started looking for a job, he touched his nose, and his mood was very depressed, if it wasn't for his sister not allowing him to steal, he would have to get a bunch of coins to smash the female staff to death, so that he looked down on himself.
Ngawang walked down the street disheartened, and unconsciously came to the train station, he saw the help of people looking for jobs in the square, and remembered the words of the female staff, he was thinking about whether she meant that the jobs introduced by the introduction were easy to earn, and the jobs introduced by the train were hard and tiring jobs, so there was no need for any money. Ngawang thought about it and walked forward, and a woman in her forties and fifties greeted him warmly: "Handsome guy, are you looking for a job? I have a good job, 2,000 yuan a month, and I will be introduced for free, and I can go to work at any time." Ngawang looked up, only to see that the woman's long nose was like a lion's roar, her mouth was like a rice fight, the whole old pumpkin face, her body was bloated and fat, and her thighs were as thick as a bucket, which was a little more majestic than Rong, and the cold hairs on Ngawang's whole body stood up, Ngawang shivered, ignored her, lowered his head and continued to walk forward.
Before he had walked ten steps, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl greeted her, holding a sign to help people find a job, and said to Ngawang: "Little brother, you are looking for a job! The girl was dressed in a red professional uniform, cross-eyed, eyebrows flew into the temples, heavy makeup, a ponytail, and two thin lips with lipstick were quickly spitting fish, shrimp and crab sauce. At first glance, he knew that this person was not easy to mess with, and Ngawang ignored her and continued to walk forward. Before he had taken ten steps, a kind old man walked up, he looked at Ngawang peacefully and said, "Son, are you looking for a job? Uncle will introduce you to one, and he will only charge you five yuan." β
Ah Wang looked at this old man with gray temples, and couldn't help but think of Hengyang's grandfather, his nose was sour, and he also had a lot of pity for the old man. He thought in his heart, on such a hot day, it is not easy for the old man to do business, and it would be good to let him do the five yuan, so he accosted the old man.
"Son, you're from out of town, how old are you, and where do you live now? β
"I'm eighteen, Hunanese. β
"Hunan people! I said how the people of Xinjiang speak more Mandarin than I speak. β
"Grandpa, what kind of work is it, where do you work!"
"It's not far, it's only half a mile away, and the work is very simple, young people can learn it as soon as they learn, or I'll take you over to see it now." β
"Grandpa, not yet. β
"Child, you don't believe grandpa, are you afraid that I will sell you?"
"No, no, I've got something to do. β
"What's so urgent? Are you afraid that your family will look for you? It's okay, you can come back as soon as you go to the company to take a look." β
"No, my sister is still waiting at home for me to bring her breakfast! Now it's time to be hungry, I'll go back and come back as soon as I go?" The old man saw that he couldn't keep him, so he had to say with a smile on his face: "Okay, son! Then you go and go back quickly! If you go slowly, I can't guarantee that my job will not be robbed by others." Ngawang said happily, "Okay, I'll be back soon." With that, Ngawang ran back quickly.
The old man shouted, "I'll wait for you, come back soon!"
