Chapter 584: A New Generation of Soap Opera Fans
If you continue to work at that high intensity for 6 hours, even Turner will feel tired, so the average worker will divide the work into two sections, morning and afternoon, and some even divide it into three or four sections, each time for more than 1 hour.
For Turner, the minimum amount of mining actually only takes more than 2 and a maximum of 3 hours to complete, and under the control of his strength and skill, the mechanical digging tools work well according to his wishes, and often it takes a long time for others to send out things, which he can achieve in a short time.
This once surprised those workers, a rookie who has only been here for a few days is more skilled than those old guys who have been working for several years and decades, which is really talented.
And the rest of the time, he will generally mine more, and it is convenient for him to collect more ore materials, and then help Old Jack dig some, which is one of the reasons why Old Jack is so happy today, while helping Turner increase his salary by 3 percent, he himself has also raised his salary by 1 percent because of the recent more mines.
Of course, the other workers were extremely envious of this, but who let the old Jack family take in Turner, so they could only watch and envy for a while.
Today, since I went back at noon to eat a lunch made by Aunt Ruth, and knowing that both of them had a raise, the happy Aunt Ruth went to the market to buy more meat and vegetables for the two of them to improve, so when Turner and Uncle Jack had finished the six hours of work and left the tunnel, it was already dark.
This is the life of absenteeism, most of the time spent in the mines with only dim lighting, and only intermittent hours of sunlight.
The two of them packed their things and hurried home with small bags containing ore waste, and when they got home, Aunt Ruth had prepared a hot and fragrant meal waiting for them.
As usual, while eating, the three of them chatted about some trivial things that happened around them today, and then talked about their son, who originally wanted to inherit his father's business, but was kicked into school by Uncle Jack, and now has been admitted to a key college on the planet Khufu, the capital of the Argus Empire, while Turner listened quietly to the old couple's chat, and from time to time made a few gestures to make a simple suggestion under the encouragement of Aunt Ruth.
After dinner, Aunt Ruth cleaned up the dishes as usual, and then went back to the house to watch the family soap opera she had to watch every day, while Turner followed Uncle Jack into the inner room to dispose of the ore waste.
This was the couple's son's bedroom, and since their son went out of school, it has been converted into a workshop by Uncle Jack, and after Turner arrived, the layout of the place has not changed, except that a simple bed has been erected for Turner in the spare space.
At this point, the two of them sat directly on Turner's bed and disposed of the ore waste.
Since the minerals contained in these wastes are very rare, they are not high-tech, but they are all meticulous work.
Uncle Jack had been teaching Turner for many days, and today was the first time Turner had done it himself, but the results were ......
"It's incredible, if it were anyone else, you wouldn't have imagined that this would be the first time you'd do something like this." Uncle Jack looked at the piles of purified ores on the table, and said in surprise.
There are not many ores, all of them may only add up to about 700 grams, but Uncle Jack, a veteran, knows very well that these are already the limits that can be extracted from those scraps, even if he comes to get them himself, it is estimated that he will not be able to get so much, at most about 500 grams will be killed, and Turner has increased this amount by nearly one-third by virtue of his skillful skills and accurate control of time!
Perhaps because the sound was too loud, Aunt Ruth, who was watching a family soap opera, was also alarmed, and at this time she came over and lifted the simple door curtain, and said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago, Lance, this kid is a smart person, now you believe it, right?" ”
Uncle Jack said angrily: "Go, go, watch your TV series, let's talk, what do you say." ”
Aunt Ruth didn't quarrel with him, laughed and gave Turner a thumbs up, and then lifted the curtain before Uncle Jack had a seizure.
"It seems that there are really geniuses in this world." Uncle Jack looked paradoxically excited and depressed, then raised his hand and swept out about 150-200 grams of ore from the pile of ore, put it away in a small bag, and then handed the rest to Turner in another small bag.
Turner shook his head, just wanted to make a gesture, but heard Uncle Jack continue: "Let you take it, these are what you deserve, besides, you are still young, and you will definitely have more money than us in the future, put it away, how can a big man be as mother-in-law as your Aunt Ruth." ”
Turner dared to move, but he couldn't express it, so he could only smile and nod vigorously, then took the bag and put it away carefully.
"That's right." Uncle Jack nodded, patted Turner on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go out and watch TV, rest early today, and go to work tomorrow." ”
This so-called watching TV also has its allusions.
It was the fourth day that Turner had entered the old couple's home, and by accident, Turner had seen the soap opera that Aunt Ruth was chasing, or rather the actors in it, and from then on, along with Aunt Ruth, he became a big fan of the show, and after doing what he had to do every day, he would definitely go and watch TV with Aunt Ruth.
Of course, this is not because he thinks that drama is good-looking, to be honest, the soap operas of this era are not worse than any idol dramas, Korean dramas, and American dramas that Turner watched in his previous life, and the reason why he can attract him so much is because the starring role of this drama is Jiang Chuer.
Yes, that "Jiang Chu'er who belongs to him"!
It was precisely because he saw Jiang Chuer's figure in this drama that Turner began to follow the drama, hoping to retrieve the memories of the past from the pure, kind, gentle, and strong girl who was the eldest member of the family in the play, and also draw strength from her body, the strength to live.
Whenever I see the girl on TV in the face of adversity, she always keeps cheering herself up, cheering herself, and then facing adversity with a stronger face, and finally overcoming adversity, Turner feels that there will be more strength in his body.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why those who live at the bottom of society like to chase this kind of soap opera, Turner secretly guessed in his heart.
"I still remember, oh, I will definitely survive, and then break the qiē barrier to pick you up!"
"I will take your hand and face the whole universe!"
"Because, you are my Jiang Chu'er!"
