He was afraid of disturbing his guests' rest, so Shengzi put on his clothes quietly and then quietly slipped out of the door.
In the hazy morning light, Luo Xuan saw that this guy was acting a bit mysteriously, so he followed Shengzi quietly.
Just because I got up at this time, I am afraid that except for the kind of people who need to go under the bridge and wait for the employer to come and hire them to do odd jobs.
There are only sanitation workers.
Just because it is stipulated above: In all state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises, everyone starts work at 8:00.
And every morning at 7:00, the loudspeakers installed by the street office in various communities will sound impassioned music on time.
It really makes it impossible to sleep.
And it’s only 5:30 in the morning!
Shengzi sneaked out. Unless he was going to wait for a job under the overpass, otherwise, he would have nothing to do if he went out so early.
Wait until Shengzi goes downstairs.
Luo Xuan saw him first take out two brooms, one large and one small, from the storage room separated under the stairs, probably by Shengzi himself, from the stairs at the entrance of the corridor.
There are also garbage shovels, woven bags, etc.
Seeing this, maiden
Luo Xuan couldn't help but wonder: Is Shengzi a sanitation worker?
But the local sub-district office, because Shengzi refused to go to the mountains and countryside, had obviously excluded him from the temporary job arrangement.
You should know that people who can be arranged by the street office to sweep the streets actually need to have certain qualifications.
For someone like Sheng Tsai who has violated the ironclad rules, it is impossible for the street office to arrange temporary work for him.
Otherwise, the office bearers at the sub-district office will be left with nothing to eat!
When Sheng Zai's back gradually disappeared on the road where Luo Xuan came last night.
Luo Xuan was even more curious in his heart: If you go further ahead, you will enter that area, and many men are lining up to go to the warm area...
Could it be that this kid still likes to exercise when he wakes up in the morning?
But it's only 5:30 in the morning.
Those girls who worked hard all night last night are still sleeping!
Who will get up at 10 or 12 o'clock?
Luo Xuan followed Shengzi from a distance, and finally entered a place that men didn't like to go to.
"Whoosh whoosh-"
When they arrived at the end of the field, I saw Shengzi put down the woven bag and garbage shovel on his shoulders.
Then he used the big broom in his hand to sweep the large open space in front of him.
This kind of abandoned, dilapidated urban village.
Many open spaces are overgrown with grass, filled with all kinds of construction debris and broken tiles.
Rotten wood, scrap plastic, broken pots and bowls, tattered clothes stained with bloody mud, and tattered shoes were everywhere.
Because the area here is a bit special, there are still a lot of toilet paper, menstrual belts and the like scattered randomly among the grass...
Especially those ubiquitous toilet papers, soaked by the morning dew.
It will become a messy, wet dregs.
It's really difficult to clean.
I saw Sheng Zai using a big broom to roughly sweep the large area of open space.
Then he put down the big broom and began to use the small broom for the second cleaning.
After sweeping the open space clean, Shengzi picked up a dirty snakeskin bag and began to use iron pliers to clean up the garbage in the weeds.
Seeing this scene.
Luo Xuan began to frown: Is this such a disgusting place?
Tell the truth.
I'm afraid even the sanitation workers are unwilling to come to clean it, and everyone feels it's bad luck.
It is estimated that many people would rather go to public toilets to pick up feces and clean urinals in public toilets.
I don't want to clean those things.
Mainly among those weeds, one thing is that the things thrown away are very mixed and disgusting.
And it's quite dangerous.
Just because among the ruins, not only are there overgrown grass, but there are also a lot of broken bricks and tiles, used light bulbs thrown in by others, smashed glass bottles...
With the ruins and weeds blocking the way, the rubbish that can pierce the insteps if not taken care of makes it difficult to see where they are.
Shengzi, wearing only a pair of rubber shoes, held an iron clip in one hand and a snakeskin bag in the other.
He just buried his head and concentrated on picking up the toilet paper and menstrual belts scattered inside.
There are other bits and pieces of paper, diapers...
The nights in Yangcheng are hot.
In fact, in these heaps of grass, there are not only many sharp garbage such as nails, broken wine bottles, broken light bulbs and broken bowls.
In fact, it is easy to hide poisonous snakes, scorpions and the like in the gaps of these garbage bags.
So if you want to clean up these unsightly toilet paper and menstrual belts.
Don't look at the work as heavy.
But it’s actually not easy to do it.
Especially now that the sky is only bright, with the help of the dim street lights in the alley, I want to completely clear out the garbage submerged in the grass.
The difficulty is actually very high.
Don't be impatient when doing this kind of work.
Otherwise, if you don't pay attention to your feet, you may be pricked by something sharp.
Just being kissed by a scorpion and a poisonous snake...
It took Shengzi a long time to clean up the area.
It was almost 7:00 at this time.
After a while,
The majestic and loud singing voice that is well known to everyone will sound from countless loudspeakers at the same time.
At that time, there will be many foreign residents in the alley who are doing odd jobs and setting up stalls to survive, and they will get up.
There will be more people queuing up to go to public restrooms, people coming out with urinals and pots to pour out feces and urine, and people standing in front of their homes and starting to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
Shengzi finished all the work.
Then he returned to the perimeter of the open space and began to collect money one by one along the circle of dilapidated blue brick houses surrounding the open space.
At this time, most of the residents of the small houses living around this small open space have not gotten up yet.
Shengzai didn't even knock on the door to call for help.
Instead, he walked to someone else's door, bent down and picked up a brick.
Under the bricks.
There is often a small plastic roll.
After opening it, there was 1 cent inside.
After taking out the money, Shengzi put the small piece of plastic film back under the brick and covered it.
turn out to be,
Shengzi comes out every morning to clean the area in front of the residents in the alley.
This is because the local street office has a clear policy: three guarantees in front of the door.
The area at the door of each house is usually cleaned by that household.
It doesn't matter which household owns the house, or a foreigner who rents the house with money.
Everything is the same.
If anyone fails to do so, the street office officials will come over and impose a fine.
Especially this time, during the Export Commodity Trade Exhibition held in Yangcheng, various sub-district offices have been particularly strict about the health conditions in all jurisdictions.
As long as there is garbage in front of the door, you will definitely be fucked to death.
There are only about 10 households in this small area.
In other words, Shengzi came out early in the morning to help them clean and earned a total of 1 yuan.
It sounds like the income is pretty good.
It's a pity that this kind of work is not that easy to do!
If one day while reciting words, Shengzi accidentally gets pricked by a rusty iron nail.
Go to the clinic to clean the wound, get a tetanus shot, and bandage it...
Then Shengzi's half-month's work would be in vain.
Not only that, due to the complexity of the residents in this area, the people who live here are very mobile.
Moreover, these guys come from three religions and nine streams, and their composition is complex, and some of them are of shockingly low quality.
therefore,
Shengzi often fails to receive money from some of the residents.
In this case, either some houses are not rented out for the time being, and there is no one living there.
Or maybe there is someone living inside, but he just pretends to be deaf and doesn't give money.
When encountering this kind of situation, don't you just have to admit that you are unlucky? Otherwise, what else can you do?
If he dared to argue with others for money, he might even get a good beating!
I'm so anxious,
It's not impossible for those guys to use a knife with Sheng Zai...
Wait until Shengzai collects the money.
I saw him putting his tools aside for the time being, and then turned into a side alley.
These guides are very narrow, and people living on both sides of the alley only need to open the door without stepping out of the house.
Just standing at the door, both parties can shake hands directly.
In order to prevent Sheng Zai from noticing that he was being followed.
Luo Xuan looked around, but there was no one around.
He reached out and untied the chemical fiber rope used to dry clothes under the eaves of a house.
Then I used my mind to stretch one end of the rope to the purlin under the dripping eaves of a house in front of me and tied it up.
I tugged hard and it felt like it was tied very firmly.
Luo Xuan raised his breath and jumped up, then jumped forward lightly.
Use your hands to tighten the rope alternately, and when it is about to reach the eaves, you twist your waist.
The whole person climbed onto the roof silently and continued to follow Shengzi from the ridge.
I saw Sheng Zai coming to the middle of the alley, in front of a closed door.
"Meow--"
Shengzi let out a meow.
Cats actually don’t like to meow early in the morning.
So Shengzai's meow seemed a bit abrupt.
The cat meowed.
"Creak -" with a sound, the simple door panel was opened, and a girl with disheveled hair and sleepy eyes opened the door.
Didn't speak.
The girl just handed over an enamel basin filled with water, a piece of soap and a towel: "There are guests staying overnight, so you can wash up at the door."
"Well. Ah Zi, I have a distinguished guest at home today, so I have to change my clothes."
Shengzi took the enamel basin, squatted at the door and began to wash his hands and face carefully.
While washing up,
Shengzi said: "I'm really causing trouble for you. There are guests at home, so I have to change my clothes before I can go back. I can't bring the bad luck from outside home."
After he washed them clean, the girl handed over another set of neatly folded clothes.
Anyway, no one is in the alley,
Shengzi was not particular about it, he just stood there and took off his dirty clothes.
Then the girl handed out another pair of clean cloth shoes for Shengzi to put on: "You have a distinguished guest at home? My lady."
In that moment, can I dress up nicely and then accompany you back to the restaurant to treat your relatives to a meal?"
Shengzi shook his head: "No."
Seeing the stiff smile on the girl's face, Shengzi quickly added: "They are not relatives of my family."
"Is that so?"
The girl returned to the house.
After a while, he came out with a few 10 yuan bills and handed them to Sheng Zai: "Take it."
Shengzi had already put on his shoes and was about to take money out of the pocket of the dirty clothes he had changed into.
When he looked at the money in the girl's hand, Shengzi shook his head: "I'm here to pay back the money today. I plan to pay you back 23 yuan first and the remaining 100 yuan. I plan to pay you back within these two months.
.”
The girl's face froze.
Shengzi asked quickly: "You shouldn't be leaving in the past two months, right?
But don’t worry, even if you go back to your hometown or change your job, I will send the money to your home.
Ah Zi, you'd better tell me the address of your hometown."
Miss Azi didn't speak.
Instead, he forcefully shoved the money in his hand into Shengzai's arms.
Shengzi was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "I have already lent you 127 yuan and I haven't paid it back yet. How can I ask for your money again?"
"Borrowed it? Are you so clear about it with me?"
There were tears shining in the girl's eyes: "I know that I have had sex myself and my body is dirty, so I am not worthy of you...so I don't have any extravagant hopes of marrying you.
I just hope that during my stay in Yangcheng, I can talk to you more and sit with you for a while.
When I change places, the days I spent with you will be the good times I use to remember."
"Is my little extravagant hope too much?"
Ah Zi sobbed: "Sheng Zai, you are a responsible and responsible man. You don't have to consider my feelings. I just hope that you will come over often and talk with me... okay?"
Shengzi lowered his head, "Azi, I don't look down on you.
Everything is not your fault, and you don’t need to feel inferior. It’s all forced by life.”
Handing the money in his arms to Miss Azi, Shengzi smiled bitterly: "Take your money back, I've saved a little this time.
No matter how hard or tiring the life is, I should be the one to bear it... There is no need for you to come into this muddy water. Take care of yourself, I have to go back."
Wait until Shengzi took a few steps forward.
Azi's soft call came from behind: "I do! If two people make money and take care of your mother and sister together, I think it will be easier..."
Shengzi stopped for a moment.
Then he left without hesitation.
By the time Sheng Zai got home, he had several lotus leaf bags in his hand.
"Mom, are you awake?"
As soon as you enter the door,
Shengzi walked to the door of his mother's bedroom and asked softly: "Mom, are you awake? I bought you rice rolls. It's hot. Please get up and eat some."
After waking up his mother, Shengzi went to his sister Lin Keer's bedroom door and knocked on the door: "Sister, there are crab roe buns to eat this morning. Don't stay in bed."
The sound of Lin Keer rustlingly getting dressed sounded.
Shengzi washed his hands again, then returned to the living room and began to greet Luo Xuan, Li Li and Li Na for breakfast: "Comrade Luo Xuan, Comrade Li Li, come on, come on, I bought you scallion pancakes and white porridge."
Li Na rubbed her eyes and asked: "Why don't you buy us crab roe buns, shrimp dumplings, and beef brisket noodles?"
Even if you let me have a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, who would eat scallion pancakes when there are so many delicious things!"
Shengzi was stunned: "I thought you were guests from the north, and you are not used to eating things that smell like the sea."
"That's it. I even traveled far away to buy you scallion pancakes."
Shengzi scratched his head in embarrassment: "How about telling me in advance what you want to eat tomorrow morning."
Li Na pouted and started to eat, and said with a bulging mouth: "The fried pancakes are good, but you can also eat them in Saibei."
Since there are so many delicious breakfasts in Yangcheng, I want to change them...It’s not like I won’t give you money.”
As soon as I heard about money.
Shengzi waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, you don't have to pay me for breakfast. This counts as your stay here, and I will give you breakfast."
Accommodation and three breakfasts included?
Li Na immediately laughed: This treatment is quite good, even ordinary hotels only include two breakfasts.
At Shengzai's house, he actually allowed everyone to take care of one more person's breakfast.
Li Na, Li Li and the others are on a business trip this time.
It is equivalent to temporary employment in a furniture factory. He is a handyman who can do any kind of work, and he also serves as an English translator.
The salary of translators like them is calculated on a daily basis, so the two sisters Li Li and Li Na earned a very high income this time.
It's just that Luo Xuan has to be flexible when paying wages to sisters Li Na and Li Li.
Otherwise, such a high salary.
Inside a furniture factory, jealousy can easily arise.
no way,
The reality is so helpless: 媢
If Luo Xuan goes to the organizer and applies for two translators, it will cost 1,000 yuan.
The workers in the furniture factory, including the cadres in Shilipu Commune, didn’t even dare to fart about this!
But if Luo Xuan sends this money to Li Li and Li Na, even if it only gives the two sisters 300 yuan in labor fees.
I'm afraid it will arouse criticism from those people: tsk tsk tsk, isn't this a pretense of public benefit for private gain...
