1444 The Role of Reading (11)
"We ...... Let's make a living in another way, we can definitely do something else. Zhang Jing'an said distressedly.
Fang Yundao: "The porters of the dock post station only recruit people over the age of sixteen, you can't do it." Each workshop only looks for skilled workers, and if you have no experience, you can't do it either. If you do your own small business, you can't even make wontons, and even if you do, are you making better than others? You don't even have a skill, where do you have the courage to say such things?"
Fang Yun looked at Zhang Jing'an condescendingly, and his eyes seemed to be colder than the cold wind in winter.
"I ......"
Fang Yun said: "It's okay, you can continue to be hungry, I can continue to accompany you to find it." You're lucky that you're not sick or sick, you don't need to feed anyone, and no one in your family needs you to save your life. ”
Zhang Jing'an's stomach gurgled louder.
"I'll do it!" Zhang Jing'an said through gritted teeth.
"Very good, let's go now, I'm afraid I'll be preempted if I'm late." Fang Yun immediately found Yazi, paid a hundred yuan, took the note that remembered the location of his foot, and walked out.
"Half of each of the 100 cents, and then, you pay me back 2 cents a day until you pay it off. Fang Yundao.
"Stingy!" Zhang Jing'an whispered.
Braving the wind and snow, the two walked quickly to Xinming Street, saw the leaning feet of this place in an old house, and learned the reason for recruitment.
Winter is different from other seasons, the weather is cold, people work slowly, and a lot of garbage will freeze, so it will be very difficult to deal with. It is a husband and wife who are in charge of the Xinming Street area, but the woman is sick and recuperating at home, and now there is only one man left, so they will recruit temporary workers, and if they do a good job, they will consider changing to long-term workers.
"The wages are paid daily. No matter how many people do the whole street, they can get 20 wen a day, and in the winter it increases, they get 25 wen. I will only give twenty-five wen, and your father and son will discuss with Lao Guo how to divide the money. I don't interfere with anything else. Remember, if you don't do well, you will have to deduct money, and if you get into trouble, we won't care. We collect manure in the morning, garbage in the afternoon, and what you do the rest of the time, we don't care......"
After quickly explaining some of the job requirements, he wrote an essay. The two sides signed and signed the pledge, and asked Fang Yun to find Lao Guo.
The two left the warm house and went out again, and soon saw a large ox cart at the back door of a house on Xinming Street. However, it was not a cow or a horse that pulled the cart, but a man in his fifties, with a rope on his body, struggling to move forward.
The two walked briskly. Fang Yun glanced at Lao Guo, and his whole body was tightly wrapped. The jacket, fur and boots were patched, slightly stained, and in some places even shiny.
When he got closer, Fang Yun stretched out his hand and pulled forward on the left side of the wheel, and Zhang Jingan immediately ran to the right side of the wheel.
Lao Guo raised his head, and the wind and snow fell on his face. He looked at Fang Yun with a blank gaze, and after a long while, there was a little brightness in his eyes.
Winter's exhaled breath seemed to obscure the light in his eyes.
Fang Yun got straight to the point and said: "Our father and son are here to work as short-term workers, and they are in charge of Xinming Street with you." Fang Yun said, taking out the paperwork that tilted his feet.
A flash of vigilance flashed in Lao Guo's eyes. He glanced at Fang Yun carefully, nodded slightly, opened his chapped lips, and said with difficulty: "You two, you haven't done this, have you?"
"It's the first time to do it, but don't worry, we'll do whatever you say. For the first three days, we only take 10 yuan, and you take 15 yuan. When we are familiar with it, we will discuss a new way to divide the money, so that you will not suffer, what do you think?" Fang Yun smiled.
"Help me finish today's work, and it will be even harder to drag it out into the night. Lao Guo said.
"Good. Jing'an, work hard!If you don't use your strength, don't even think about receiving money!" Fang Yun grabbed a rope to pull the cart, but only used the strength of an ordinary man.
"Hmm!" Zhang Jing'an agreed, and also pulled the car hard.
Both of their hands were exposed, and Fang Yun's hands remained unchanged, but Zhang Jing'an's two small hands quickly froze red.
Zhang Jing'an only felt a piercing pain in his hands, and at the same time felt numbness, but he didn't dare to let go.
If you let go, you will inevitably be deducted from your wages.
Zhang Jingan secretly glanced at "Zhang Longxiang", and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Jingzhou City, a city that learns from the Shengyuan Continent, has a good sewer system, and the sewage can flow down the pipes built by the underground workers to the Yangtze River outside the city, but many debris is left in the sewage tank, and some debris is piled up at the back door, which must be disposed of by tilting the feet.
The trio pulled the cart to the back door of the next house, where there was a sewage sink for several nearby families to use together. Lao Guo picked up a shovel and said, "The sewage tank will be frozen in winter, and you have to clean the dirt on it every day and shovel off the broken ice." Don't look at it as easy to say, in fact, it is very troublesome, it requires a lot of strength, and it can even grind the tiger's mouth and bleed, and the next day both hands are sore. ”
Fang Yun stretched out his hand to grab the shovel and said with a smile: "Since this is the most troublesome job, let me do it, but it will cost me an extra three cents a day." ”
"No, I can't. I'll give you an article at most. Lao Guo held the shovel and didn't let go.
"Take a step back, two texts. Fang Yundao.
"Deal!" Lao Guo smiled and let go of the shovel, secretly relieved, as he got older, the frequent shoveling of ice made him a little unbearable.
Fang Yun picked up a shovel and shoveled it hard at the ice near the sewage tank.
Fang Yun swept it at a glance, and knew where the ice was the most brittle, and how much shoveling at a time was the most appropriate, with a strength comparable to that of the Demon Marquis, shoveling ice was not much different from shoveling sand for him.
"A lot of strength!" Lao Guo is a knowledgeable person, and he can't help but admire.
Zhang Jing'an picked up another shovel to push the broken ice away.
Lao Guo said: "There are some vegetable leaves and the like, all of which must be picked out and put in the first bucket, and then these will be made into feed and sold to pigs and chickens." Can you do that? Here's the gloves. ”
Zhang Jing'an looked at Lao Guo, who was panting, nodded, reached out to take the gloves, and picked the vegetable leaves from the crushed ice.
"The animals were put in the first bucket if they could eat. What can't be eaten is put in the second bucket. There are other garbage in other places, such as wood chips and other things that can be burned, are put in the third bucket, and what can be burned is not valuable, we can take it home, but it is rare, and most people burn it themselves. If there's a good piece of fabric, put it in the fourth bucket...... Most of these have to be turned in. Of course, if the owner of the house sees us pitiful, the gift will be our own. A hint of cunning flashed in Lao Guo's eyes, and then patted the shabby leather coat on his body.
Fang Yun and Zhang Jing'an smiled slightly, this old Guo is good.
Fang Yun glanced at the clothes, hats and shoes on Lao Guo's body, it seemed that they were all "sent" by others.
Winter nights come early, and when it gets dark, they still have a fifth of the streets that have not been cleared, so they can only continue to clean them at night.
After cleaning up all the garbage, it was not over, because the three of them had to pull the car to carry the garbage to a long distance, and it would take two hours to go back and forth, and finally put the car in the place where they were staying.
"Meet on the streets of Xinming Street at six o'clock tomorrow morning, don't forget!" Lao Guo waved his hand, and the figure disappeared into the wind and snow.
