The red sun is setting in the west, and the sunset is all over the sky.

The sparkling sea is reflected in the brilliant glow, as if draped in a dreamlike color.

The freighters and wharves staying in the port are like a circle of golden light, which is dazzling and three-dimensional, as if a silhouette of light and dark contrast!

As the coolies carried the last cargo onto the freighter, there was not a single cargo left that had been piled up into a small mountain.

Li An compared the bill in his hand, picked up a ballpoint pen and marked the quantity and weight of the goods on it.

Only then did he look at the middle-aged man in a suit and a rich figure on the side.

Hand the marked bill to the middle-aged man.

Politely said:

"Boss Yang, this is your bill, two hundred catties per cargo, one hundred pieces of textiles, ten tons. One hundred and fifty pieces of garment, fifteen tons. You see, the quantity and weight are right, right? ”

The middle-aged man known as Boss Yang took the bill and looked at it carefully, and responded with a smile:

"The goods are fine, thank you for your hard work. This is the cost of the goods, one hundred and twenty-five yuan, you order. ”

Ang Lee took the Hong Kong dollar handed over by Boss Yang, glanced at the number, and said politely:

"Okay, then you get busy first. I also have to go to other ships to hand over to the owner manager. ”

Seeing off this Boss Yang, Ang Lee put the money in his trouser pocket, took the remaining bills, and walked onto the freighter along the gangplank.

The afterglow of the setting sun is fading.

Li An, who was finally busy, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the freighter that was gradually moving away, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

"A'an, how does it feel to work on the docks for the first time?"

Sanjiang sailor was holding a bowl of paparazzi noodles in his hand, and suddenly came out from behind him.

"It's okay!"

Li An nodded, then patted his bulging trouser pocket, and said a little depressedly:

"Senior brother, can you give me a handbag? You see that these trousers are bulging, and it's not convenient to load money, right? ”

"I forgot to take it for you, but I'll give it to you tomorrow." Sanjiangshui laughed.

Instead, he pulled Li An towards the pergola.

"Na, the paparazzi you brought is the best to eat while it's hot."

The two came to the pergola, and Ang Lee grabbed the loose Hong Kong paper from his trouser pocket and put it on the table.

"A total of two hundred and forty-seven tons of goods, one thousand two hundred and thirty-five pieces, and I will order them myself."

After a busy afternoon, Li An was indeed hungry, so he just glanced at the senior brother who was sorting out the money, took the chopsticks and picked up the noodles and sent them to his mouth.

"My sister-in-law is from Shunde? The paparazzi made is quite authentic and tastes good. ”

He dipped the soup again and ate two small pieces of dried radish.

"Sister-in-law?" Sanjiangshui was obviously stunned.

"Isn't it?"

This time it was Ang Lee's turn to be stunned.

If he remembered correctly, from the moment he started work, Sanjiangshui used the excuse of helping to get tired of that stall for a whole afternoon.

Looking at his attitude towards the woman, he was affectionate and flattering, saying that the two were not a family and no one believed it.

I was busy at the time, and I was thinking about saying hello after finishing work.

Li An coughed lightly:

"I thought the proprietress of the stall was my sister-in-law."

Sanjiangshui came back to his senses and said with a smile:

"You're not wrong, it's not yet, but it's coming soon."

Ang Lee was a little confused:

"And the little girl next to her?"

"Hmm. She was a widow. ”

“......”

"You can also see that it is easy to find a man with her appearance, but she pulls her daughter by going out of the stall, this kind of woman is rare.

Instead of finding a woman who thinks about running out all day long, it is better to find a virtuous and thoughtful widow to live. ”

“… Well. ”

Li An could only nod.

Sober in the world?

At this moment, he suddenly found that this senior brother seemed to have a different kind of wisdom in finding a wife.

Ang Lee finished the last bite of vermicelli and looked at the three cargo ships still in the harbor.

"Senior brother, do you still work at night?"

"Applejack is watching here, he'll take care of it if there's an urgent shipment in the evening."

Sanjiangshui put away the Hong Kong dollars that had been sorted out, and when he saw Li An get up, he asked with a smile:

"Do you want to go and see the excitement of the two clubs in the evening?"

"Nope." Li An thought about it and shook his head to refuse.

It's not that I don't want to see the excitement.

The main thing is to go back later today, not to mention the water for bathing, even the water for washing is gone.

After Li An left, Sanjiangshui sat alone for a while.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he stood up and muttered as he walked out of the docks.

"Alas, I'm going to die. Not to mention that the money borrowed from the soldiers could not be earned, and they had to find time to take care of them. Where is this like Big Brother? The babysitter is pretty much the same! ”

...................

Shek Kip Mei wooden house area.

Night market.

The young military uniform handed the hat in his hand to the stall owner in front of him, and Yu Guang kept looking at the five people in the corner.

"Brother Biao, I bet those five people looked like they had just been smuggled over."

Fei Biao took a piece of white sugar cake from the stall and took a big bite:

"You think I'm blind and can't see?"

"Nope."

The military uniform took the three coins from the hat and whispered:

"Didn't it say that the smugglers were going to be arrested and brought back to the mission hall?"

Fat Biao glanced at him and responded impatiently:

"Are you stupid? There's a famine over there, and you know how many people are smuggling in every day? How many black households live in this wooden house area? Catch the errand? Did you catch it?

When you can't see it, you might as well go to the dance hall for a drink or two if you have the time to catch someone.

Let's go! Hurry up and collect the fees and call it a day early! ”

Seeing that the two uniforms ignored them and continued to walk to the next stall, the five people in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Hao, we searched for a day in the wooden house area and didn't find that fellow villager, and if we don't want to find a way to get some food to fill our stomachs, we will really starve to death."

Dawei, who was squatting in the corner, waved his hand to drive away the mosquitoes around him, and his eyes stared at the golden goose legs roasted on the roast goose stall opposite, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

The man's eyes were also staring at the stalls in the night market, and he said without looking back:

"Wait a minute. When the two uniforms are far away, I'll get food. ”

"No, Brother Hao. We haven't eaten for three days, and even if we can bear it, Ah Ping can't bear it. ”

Hearing Dawei's words, the man finally turned around and looked at his hungry and pale brother.

“...... It's okay, brother, I can still bear it. ”

The bespectacled teenager pulled a smile on his face.

The man just patted his brother on the shoulder and unconsciously clenched his fists.

Waited for a while.

Until the two uniforms finished collecting the fees and left, the man picked up his younger brother and led the four of them along the night market to look at the vendors on both sides.

Visit almost the entire night market.

The man finally stopped at a stall with a slightly more customers.

Looking at the busy stall owner, he pulled a smile on his face.

"Auntie!"

"Wait a minute." The woman bowed her head in response.

After putting the wonton in the boiling pot, he raised his eyes to look at a few people.

"How many bowls of wonton noodles do you want?"

“....... Five bowls.... Three bowls are fine, we don't have any money on us right now, but we can help out at your stall. ”

“...... I'm also a small business...... No need for help. ”

"Auntie, we haven't eaten for three days, and I'll pay you back the wonton money later."

Seeing the woman's embarrassed face, the man finished speaking very quickly, as if he was afraid that the woman would refuse.

"This ......"

Just as the woman was in a dilemma, a voice came from behind the stall.

"Aunt Six, you cook five bowls of wonton noodles for them first, and I'll pay later."

"Wait a minute, you guys go to the meeting first, and I'll serve it when it's cooked."

"Thank you!"

The man said politely.

And he led the four men behind him to the man.

"Thank you, brother! My name is Wu Shihao, and I will definitely return the money to you. ”
