Su Shenyuan began to build a copper hot pot.

Jiang Jiang and Sun Xiaobei haven't seen each other for a few days, so they naturally want to talk together and talk about their respective experiences in the past few days.

As they spoke, they paced slowly along the coolie street, the late autumn sun is precious, and it has been cloudy for the past few days, so it is easy to see the sun, and people want to come out and bask in the sun. The two men were walking down the street until they came to the door of a house on the west side of the street, only to hear someone crying inside.

When Jiang Jiang and Sun Xiaobei first came to Coolie Street, they would hear crying, noise and scolding every day, but as time went by, these voices were rarely heard, especially the cries of adults.

"Isn't this Uncle Huang's house?" Sun Xiaobei said curiously: "His family has always been able to live, what is this crying about?" Listening to the voice should be Aunt Huang. ”

The family's surname is Huang, and the head of the family is called Huang Dazhong, who is a craftsman who has been working in the printing office since he was young and has carved good characters.

Huang Dazhong was honest and dutiful, and he couldn't hear him say a few words a day. The relationship between the couple is also good, and there are almost no quarrels.

But I don't know what's going on today? Aunt Huang cried very sadly, crying and chanting: "How should I live this life when there are old and young?" Seeing that it is winter, I need to eat, wear and burn, where can I go for an old woman? ”

Of course, no one responded to him, because Uncle Wang has always been untalkative.

"Aunt Huang, what makes you so worried?" Jiang Jiang asked with a smile through the window.

"Don't cry, it's Boss Jiang." Huang Dazhong scolded his wife in a low voice, Jiang Jiang is the number one person on this street, which makes people feel embarrassed.

When Aunt Huang heard this, she quickly wiped away her tears, opened the firewood door, and tried her best to pretend to be smiling and said to Jiang Jiang: "It turned out to be Boss Jiang, so you can see and laugh, go to the house and sit down!" ”

Jiang Jiang and these neighbors are not outside, Huang Auntie did not go to Jiang Jiang to help because she had to serve her in-laws who were paralyzed in bed, his two daughters have already married, and the remaining son is still young.

"Aunt Wang, if you don't mind, tell me why you're so sad?" Jiang Jiang sat down and took a sip of water, and asked curiously.

"Hey, Boss Jiang, I've been crying for a day and a night," Aunt Huang said and tears flowed down again: "Our boss asked someone to resign, how can you say this?" ”

"Resigned? Uncle Wang's skills are so good, how could he be fired? Sun Xiaobei was still puzzled.

"Hey, what's not good, when you get older, your hands and feet are naturally slow, and of course other bosses don't like to use it, which is also human nature." Wang Dazhong opened his mouth.

"How can you say that you have worked hard for half your life, and you will quit if you are dismissed, this is too unkind!" Aunt Huang cried and said: "Besides, this family is all pointing to you to make money to feed, and now that you have been dismissed, this family is going to starve to death!" ”

"What do you call that?!" Huang Dazhong's anger also came up: "Boss Jiang has just sent cotton cloth and cotton, and the clothes for winter are already complete, although I have been dismissed, can I still stay at home and eat rice?" After all, I have to go out to find something to do, and the family still has some savings, where will I starve to death!! ”

"You're out looking for work? Do you see if anyone is willing to use you? First, you are old, and secondly, what else will you do besides lettering? Aunt Huang didn't feel that she was making trouble: "As far as our little savings are concerned, is it enough for the two old pensioners or enough for our son to marry and settle down?" How can I not be in a hurry? ”

Jiang Jiang understood the conversation between the two of them, and knew that Uncle Huang was unemployed and the family's livelihood was gone, so he was very anxious, so he said, "Don't worry, let me think of a way." Uncle Huang, you know how to engrave and print books, right? ”

"This is natural, this is my old profession, I know what to do even with my eyes closed, after all, I have been doing it for more than thirty years," as soon as he mentioned his specialty, Uncle Huang immediately regained his vitality, it was not that he was bragging, but his engraving skills were also counted in Ling Tiancheng.

It's just that his old cold legs are getting worse and worse, plus he has a problem with asthma, and his work is far less profitable than before, and the printing office in Ling Tiancheng is a big deal, and the work can't be delayed, so he was dismissed.

"In that case, I have a book I want you to print for me," Jiang Jiang said, "If you can find a reliable helper, you can do it, but I will always contract this job to you, and you will always pay for it." ”

"Ouch, Boss Jiang, this is really good!" Aunt Huang's tears stopped flowing all of a sudden, and she stood up happily and rubbed her hands.

"Don't thank me, I just have this need," Jiang Jiang said: "I also want to ask Uncle Huang, how long does it take from lettering to writing?" ”

"This is actually quite fast," Uncle Wang said: "The words are engraved individually, and the commonly used words are only a few hundred, and some more are engraved. ”

"If I do it alone, it won't take me more than a month from lettering to typesetting, and I have to say that there are a lot of words."

"My book is not printed in one piece, but it is released in a single sheet and then compiled into one book." Jiang Jiang said to Huang Dazhong.

"In this case, it is better to do it, print one page after another, and finally summarize it, but it is just more words engraved, because it does not need to be printed all the time, and the total time used is the same." Huang Dazhong said,

"Since that's the case, then you can engrave the words first," Jiang Jiang stood up and said, "I'll give you the manuscript then, and you can typeset it accordingly." ”

The two of them walked out of the Huang family, and the old couple of the Huang family diligently delivered them to the door. Anyway, with this job, at least they can be busy in the winter and March, and they all know that Jiang Jiang has always been generous and never treats the people who work for him.

Aunt Wang used to be hot for the neighbors who worked for Jiang Jiang, and the income was really not low, but she couldn't afford to come out of her own pocket.

And Huang Dazhong's guy has been doing half his life, how can he easily change jobs? Besides, he just changed jobs, and Jiang Jiang didn't need to print books here.

Who would have thought that Lao Huang would really become a helper for Jiang Jiang after he lost his job.

"Your craft is much more upscale than those who clean up and boil lo-mei, and your income must be better than theirs." Aunt Wang said happily.

"You are really a woman's opinion," Huang Dazhong reprimanded his wife unhappily: "If Boss Jiang can pay me according to the remuneration given to me by the printing office, I will be satisfied, where do I dare to think more?" The way you look makes people think that we are insatiable, and we can't be like this. ”

"I see, you dead old man knows how to teach me a lesson." Aunt Wang complained, but she was still very happy in her heart, after all, life has a direction, and there is no need to worry all day long.
