Chapter Thirty-Nine: Helping with the Work

"That kid and his dad are unloading things in the back, you go there and see."

Although it's all a family, but the way of reception is simply incomparable with the child just now, Shota suddenly remembered that he was here to visit the patient, how to make it the same as asking for debts at the end of the year, is this a family after all.

Based on the direction of her finger, Shota looked for it.

Behind the store was a row of small warehouses, and it was a bit bustling to see Iwai when it was close to evening when the shops in the neighborhood were loading and unloading goods.

One is that he is tall, and he can be regarded as standing out from the crowd; Another point is that he has a bandage on his head and one arm is still in a plaster cast around his neck, so he can't stand out without this appearance.

"Iwai!"

When he came to the door of their warehouse, he was helping to unload the goods with one hand, and he was a little stunned when he saw Shota.

"Sa...... Sasaki ...... Monarch. ”

"If you have anything to say, I'll help you get these things down first."

Seeing that there was still half a cart of vegetables in the pickup truck, Shota simply got into the compartment and moved the contents out, Iwai wanted to stop it but Shota had already taken off his school uniform jacket.

This kind of standard clothes is really not suitable for work.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and move!"

Seeing that he was still stunned, Shota shouted. Seeing this, he had to silently carry things back and forth between the warehouse and the truck with one hand, and after a while, Shota who was stuffed in the carriage was already sweating profusely.

"Whew! That's where his money comes from. ”

Feeling the smell of dirt and sweat on his body, he finally remembered the origin of the money Iwai gave him before, and he couldn't see that this guy was still such a person.

"Stinky boy, how did you become so fast, I can't even keep up. Belch...... You are? ”

Just when he was so tired that his shirt was wet, a roar suddenly came out of the warehouse, and when the owner of the voice came out, Shota knew who he was intuitively.

Iwai is about the same height as Iwai, but he looks a little stronger, with a white rope on his head, a boxy face with squinting eyes, and a yellowed short sleeve that has been boiled by sweat is still worn on his body, and he has double clogs under his feet.

"Hello uncle, I'm Iwai's classmate, and Iwai came to see him today."

"My classmate is here, then you go to the store to rest, and Iwai will let me go over immediately."

"No need, uncle, let's talk about it when this little work is done."

"How can you let a guest do such a rough job, it seems that our Iwai family is rude."

As he spoke, he turned his head towards the warehouse.

"Stinky boy, your classmates don't know what to say when they come, take someone to the store to rest, there are really no rules at all, and you even have to help the guests work."

There was no sound in the warehouse, and I don't know how to reply when I think Iwai. His father frowned and looked at Shota apologetically.

"You're going to wait now, I'm going to get that stinky boy out."

With that, he left, leaving Shota alone. Something was wrong when he first arrived, and although he didn't know what was wrong, he just felt a little uncomfortable, and now he finally understood this feeling.

I shouldn't have come to see him, how can I feel like I've hurt him?

"Forget it, I'll finish a little bit of work."

Seeing that there were not many things in the container, Shota simply carried the bags of vegetables directly on his shoulders, and carried two more bags under his arms, and one person directly carried four large bags, although the appearance looked a bit exaggerated, but compared with the construction site, it was far worse.

"Wow! Look at that kid. ”

The other shopkeepers who were loading and unloading saw Shota, who was almost covered by something, and they all watched there, and he was already walking towards the warehouse in a hurry.

"I'll say to your mother, you take your classmates home to rest, I shouldn't let you come out to work if you are like this, alas!"

As soon as he entered, he saw that Iwai was being educated, and Shota could only speak out first to solve the problems on his body.

"Where should I put these things?"

"Ahh How can I let you come, just give me something. Stinky boy, don't come and pick things up yet. ”

Seeing this, his father came over and took the things on Shota's body, and he didn't forget to shout at Iwai, this voice is really loud enough.

Without giving him a chance to speak, Shota turned around and went out again and carried the things back, this time it was four bags again, and his father couldn't say anything more while he was watching.

After all, Iwai only has one hand to use it, and if it were the two of them, he would have to work until dark, and now it's much faster.

"These are the last four bags, and there are no more in the compartment outside."

To be honest, the back and forth is really tiring enough, and Shota's green body covered with mud and vegetables now doesn't smell good, and he doesn't have any image, so he just sits on the ground at the door of the warehouse and gasps.

"It's been a hard day for you."

After finishing the affairs of the warehouse, the three of them walked back in a stinky sweat, and among them, Shota was the most embarrassed, who made him wear a white shirt in a school uniform, and now it has directly become a street painting.

", get some tea."

There are still more than ten meters away from the store, and his father snorted directly, which made Shota a little embarrassed, and he felt that this battle was a little too grand.

"Huh? The rest of the work is done, why is it so early today. ”

Hearing the voice, his mother was also a little curious, and when she came out, she saw that Shota was the most conspicuous of the three, and she felt that she wanted to say something, but in the end she nodded and went into the house.

"Go and sit in the house, and I'll cut a watermelon for you."

"No need uncle, I'm just here to see Iwai-san, I'm relieved to see that he's okay. I won't go in with the smell of sweat now, just say a few words to Iwai-san at the door. ”

"How's that going to work, isn't that a shame on us Kansai people? You wait, I'll go get the watermelon right away. , where's the watermelon that just arrived yesterday? Pick me the biggest one! ”

I have to say that this family is not only tall and big, but also has a big personality, Shota shook his head helplessly, and turned to look at the quiet Iwai on the side.

"Are you alright?"

"Hmm."

Even now, he still looks like a stuffy gourd, this is his character.

"Let's go to school when I'm well, I've taken care of other things, and if you have any difficulties in the future, tell me, and I'll do my best."

"No...... Thank you! ”

I just wanted to refuse, but when I saw Shota's solemn expression, he nodded and agreed.

"That's fine, I'll thank my uncle later. I won't eat watermelon for a while and I'm going to work part-time, so we'll see you at school. ”

"Huh? What about your classmates? ”

When he came out with a watermelon, he saw Iwai sitting alone at the door, and his father walked to the side and sat down.

"Back to ...... I went back and still ...... Still...... Do...... Work part-time. ”

"Is that so, do you have to work part-time at such a big age?"

Squinting his eyes at the road in the doorway, he pulled a cigarette out of his pocket.

"He's your new friend, and this injury is also because of ......"

"Not really!"

Iwai suddenly looked at him in a resolute tone, and there was no stammering in his words in the nervousness.

"This kid feels pretty good, at least it's much more reliable than the previous ones, and if you follow him, I don't have anything to worry about.

Since he said that the school affairs will be cleaned up, then you can go back to class tomorrow, and I will talk to my mother about the things in the store. ”

As he spoke, he handed him the watermelon on his plate.

"Hurry up, it's expensive. When you go back in the evening, don't forget to bring a few pieces for the small ones at home. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece.

"This year's watermelon is so sweet."
