At dawn in the summer, the air is crisp and cool. Less hot during the day and dull at night. Berlin was blinded by the pale streetlamps of the night, and he hurried home. A night of staying up at work, lasting a day of zero sleep, sleepy with a chain hanging on his eyelids, viciously trying to pull his eyelids and make him fall in this dark street at night.

Fortunately, the light of dawn faintly illuminated Berlin's way home, and he wandered down the alley back home.

However, it was just over 5 o'clock in the morning, Chen Kexin didn't know when she had woken up, she opened the window, and by the faint light she had already cooked breakfast.

"Why did you wake up?"

Sleepiness gave Berlin little strength to speak, but he still cared.

"I'm used to getting up at four or five. Just right, I can cook you breakfast. Chen Kexin said.

“... I'm not hungry. ”

It's fake to stay up all night and not be hungry, but Berlin wants to sleep so much that he doesn't want to eat.

"Let's eat some."

"I'll eat it again when I wake up... Really sleepy, let me get some sleep first. Berlin sat down on the bed, and closed his eyes in the silence of the room.

"You didn't eat all night, it's not good for your stomach."

Chen Kexin frowned lightly, and wanted to open her mouth to persuade Berlin to drink at least a few sips, but then the even breathing and faint snoring sound made Chen Kexin stop the following words...

She looked at Berlin on the bed, was silent for a long time, and sighed softly. Stretched out his hand, took off his Berlin factory uniform, covered him with a quilt, took the factory uniform, and walked to the laundry sink outside the house.

....

When Berlin woke up, Chen Kexin's porridge cooked in the morning was left in the pot, he simply heated it, filled his stomach, and then walked to the street.

There are a few white clouds hanging in the sky at noon today, and the sun is obscured by clouds, and it is no longer as hot as yesterday. Berlin was on the streets for the second day, and it took more than five hours in total, but he couldn't find a job that would suit him for a few hours during the day. He couldn't afford to spend more time looking for it, and the distance back and forth was a key factor for him.

After a day to no avail, Berlin abandoned the street.

He plans to go to the opposite street tomorrow to take a look, and when he first came to the future to look for a job, although he didn't find that street, what if there are other job openings updated there? I can't say it!

At around 5 p.m., as Berlin was preparing to go home, he walked to a familiar location.

The only job he tried and failed.

When I first started looking for a job, the place where I recruited porters.

At this time, the sign at the door to recruit porters was still clearly standing, but next to the word recruitment at that time, there were now two big black words "urgent recruitment" clearly added. This aroused some concern in Berlin, and he glanced at the open door, which was still the same as when he tried that day, with a few porters struggling to carry the goods in the cart.

After pondering for a moment, Berlin suddenly walked in, "Hello, there are still people here, right?" ”

The fat middle-aged man who was watching the prisoner turned his head happily and asked, "Are you here to apply?" ”

Berlin nodded, before he could say the conditions, the fat middle-aged man suddenly said, "Hey, why do I feel that you are a little familiar?" ”

Berlin laughed: "I came here for an interview for more than a month. After saying that, the fat man looked at Berlin, and then as if he remembered something, he said, "Ah... I remembered, it was you. Then, his joy dissipated, and he said lightly, "If you can't do such heavy physical work, then don't come, isn't this delaying my work?" It really is.." He turned his head, waved his hand impatiently for Berlin to leave, and muttered 'Shiro is happy.' ’

"Boss, don't be like this, will you let me try it? I'm different now. Berlin asked.

Seeing Berlin's serious look, the fat man continued to look at him suspiciously. He was still a little impressed when they met for the first time, after all, Berlin is not like others who think that the salary is low, the treatment is not good, and the work is too tiring, which is the first job that cannot be done. However, the fat man also noticed that Berlin was much stronger than it was a little more than a month ago. Thinking that no matter how much he failed, he agreed. When a porter was resting, he let Berlin go up, and after the others had finished moving, the goods that could not be pulled a month ago, after half a month of pulling candy to the warehouse in the factory, Berlin would not be unable to pull even if it was difficult.

He qualified.

Seeing this, the fat man nodded with satisfaction, handed over a cigarette, and said, "Cheng, this time I moved." Yes, the salary is the same as on the recruitment sign, work is 8 o'clock in the morning, 6 o'clock in the evening after work, and the noon break is 1 hour and a half, no food, no problem, right? ”

Berlin refused the cigarette and asked with some awkward tentativeness, "Boss, I have some conditions to talk to you." ”

The fat man frowned, "I don't cover it, I don't have to negotiate, and I won't raise my salary again." "Many people make this kind of request, and the fat boss is used to it.

"It's not this, I just want to ask, I come and move five hours a day and get less pay, do you think this is okay?" Berlin asked.

The fat man was immediately stunned.

His brow furrowed into a pimple, "What do you mean?" Do it for half a day? ”

"That's right, because of my personal reasons, I can only come for half a day, I don't have other requirements, and it's okay to have a small salary. You see, aren't you in a hurry to recruit people? It's better than nothing, isn't it? I can try to do it for a month first, and if I am not satisfied with what I do and do not meet the requirements, you can open me at any time. Berlin said seriously.

Berlin was telling the truth, he decided to come and inquire when he saw the urgency.

If it's not a rush to recruit, the general job, there is no one who likes such an employee who only comes for half a day.

The fat man thought about it, as if he was savoring Berlin's words, and finally, he made a decision, "Success, then try for a month." In this way, I will give you 800 wages. 800 a month, you don't think it can be done, you can come over tomorrow. ”

Berlin rejoiced! ”

"I said ugly things in front, according to the rules, if you don't do it well, if you can't do it, then I will fire you at any time." The fat man said.

"No problem!"

Berlin replied briskly.

In order to make money, what is the hard work?

The factory had such a difficult start, and he survived it, what could he not persevere? If you can make more money, it means that you can get an extra 100,000 yuan, which can make the family live a better life.

Berlin is a hard-working man.

But he can only try to change himself, because this family is counting on him...

Later, Berlin exchanged ideas with the fat man. It turns out that he is the boss here, and now there are three employees here, and generally at least four are needed, otherwise the work efficiency will be much worse. Seeing that Berlin was in dire need of work, he didn't hide it, saying that many people had been doing it for a few days, complaining for a long time, and asking for a salary increase, but he didn't agree, so he left his job, and he could only continue to recruit.

This makes Berlin feel incomprehensible, how can anyone still dislike the low salary of 2000?

"You work night shifts and come out to find errands during the day to make money, right?" The fat boss has actually seen through Berlin a long time ago.

Berlin was a little weak-hearted and could only laugh.

"It's nothing, everything is according to us, I don't care about this." The fat boss disagreed. "I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

"The family lacks money, how can they not hold on?" Berlin replied.

“....”

The fat boss gave Berlin a deep look and didn't say anything more.

Berlin is home.

He only slept for four or five hours during the day, and it was still more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and he planned to go back and squint for another hour, so that his body could hold on at night and not affect his work.

As for finding a part-time job, Berlin didn't plan to inform Chen Kexin, he didn't plan to cause pointless worries....
