The gathering place for job seekers in Huangyuan is located under the Huangyuan Bridge in Dongguan, Huangyuan.
After Sun Shaoan arrived in Huangyuan, he left the station and squatted under the Huangyuan Bridge for an afternoon, but did not find any job.
In April on the lunar calendar, the weather is still cold enough, so sleeping outdoors is definitely not possible.
Sun Shaoping was reluctant to spend money to stay in a hotel. He wanted to spend one night in the waiting room of the station but was kicked out again.
Because of his pitiful and pathetic self-esteem, he was unwilling to seek refuge with his good foundation friend Jin Bo.
Therefore, Sun Shaoping could only think of going to join Sun Yuhou, his distant relative and cousin who lived in Yangou Brigade, Beiguan, Huangyuan, and was beyond his reach.
However, Huangyuan is a region after all, and Huangyuan City is much larger than Xuanxi. It is already dark now, and it is unrealistic for Sun Shaoping to walk from Dongguan to Beiguan on two legs.
So Sun Shaoping finally thought hard and thought that when he came to Huangyuan to tell stories, he had a chance encounter with the poet Jia Bing, whose hometown was located in the former Xiliucha Commune.
If you want to be thick-skinned, let's talk about Sun Shaoping and Wang Manyin. The most they can do is to prostitute themselves from a passing truck.
Sun Shaoping immediately thought that half of his fellow villagers, who had only met once, would go and stay at Jia Bing's house.
After Sun Shaoping goes there, he will naturally not be popular, but the protagonist is naturally lucky and meets all noble people.
After Sun Shaoping made the request to stay, Jia Bing's attitude was average and her aunt's attitude was cold.
However, Jia Bing is a cultural person and has a strong sense of compassion.
Not wanting to see fellow countryman Sun Shaoping in trouble, he asked Sun Shaoping to stay overnight in his family's cave dwelling.
Jia Bing's family was not welcoming, so Sun Shaoping could not continue to live there.
Sun Shaoping ran to Beiguan again the next day, to the home of his distant relative Ma Shun.
Of course, the distant uncle and concubine would not welcome Sun Shaoping, a distant relative whom they had met for the first time in more than 20 years, to stay at their home.
I am used to living a miserable life, and now my life is not much better.
The closest relatives don't move around often because they are poor. Who would want a relative who can't be reached to come to the house and live and eat for free?
Not everyone is Sun Shaoan and is willing to support Sun Shaoping without any regrets.
Even for Sun Shaoan, her aunt is not willing to subsidize Sun Shaoping now.
However, this distant cousin Ma Shun was not a bad person. After asking about Sun Shaoping's situation in a lukewarm manner.
Sun Shaoping was introduced to Yanggou Village Party Secretary Cao, whose family was working in a kiln. He was doing a small job at home.
A distant relative who was beyond his reach had already introduced a job to a poor relative who came from the countryside to work as a job seeker.
It’s already very interesting and I really can’t ask for more.
But obviously Sun Shaoping didn't think so.
Sun Shaoping obviously felt that since they were relatives, Ma Shun should be like Sun Shaoan and pay for him, Sun Shaoping, without any regrets.
When he first introduced the work, Sun Shaoan did not respect Ma Shun, his distant cousin.
When Ma Shun was helping Sun Shaoping fight for his interests and asking for two yuan a day, he intervened and offered only one and a half yuan as a salary. He gained the favor of Cao Party Secretary. Ma Shun was in vain to be a villain in front of the village Party Secretary.
After waiting for work, Party Secretary Cao's mother-in-law showed some concern for Sun Shaoping and adjusted from the heavy physical labor of carrying stones to the relatively relaxed drilling of blast holes.
He forgot that he earned a lower salary than others, and was greatly moved by the Party Secretary and his family, feeling that Party Secretary Cao and his family were much better off than his cousin.
Sun Shaoan, who was moved by Party Secretary Cao, worked even harder for Party Secretary Cao and took the initiative to take on some of the heaviest jobs.
In addition to working, Sun Shaoping also helped Party Secretary Cao and his family, doing a lot of housework, carrying water, sweeping the yard, and helping Party Secretary Cao's two children with their homework.
Calling Party Secretary Cao and his wife uncle and aunt, the second young master of the Sun family is not willing to serve his parents at home, but he is content with serving Party Secretary Cao and his family.
He even stabbed his cousin Ma Shun in the back on the day when Cao's party secretary moved to Longkou.
After all, Party Secretary Cao is Yanggou's Party Secretary. Although the Party Secretary's rights are no longer comparable to those of the collective era, he is still the one that ordinary villagers need to fawn over in the countryside.
Cheap cousin also came to Party Secretary Cao's house to help. Ma Shun even took the initiative to carry the heaviest stone in order to curry favor with Party Secretary Cao.
If we don't say that people have serious double standards, Sun Shaoping would also consider himself grateful for serving Party Secretary Cao and his family.
The cheap cousin helped Cao's party secretary with his work for the sake of being a human being, but Sun Shaoping thought it was flattery.
According to custom, Longkou Stone cannot be stained with blood, otherwise it will be considered unlucky.
It happened that Ma Shun carried the heaviest stone because of his bravery and worked too hard. His hand scratched a piece of skin and the stone was stained with blood.
Only Sun Shaoping saw the matter. Sun Shaoping originally had many appropriate ways to deal with this matter.
But I chose the most embarrassing way to give myself an advantage over my cousin Ma Shun.
When preparing to close Longkou, it was revealed in public that Ma Shun had stained the stone with blood.
The final result was that Ma Shun offended the village party secretary Cao, and Sun Shaoping also offended his cheap cousin Ma Shun.
If things ended everywhere, we could understand Sun Shaoping's approach. Party Secretary Cao, who had been with him for two months, was closer than his cheap cousin whom he had only met once.
But then Sun Shaoping went a little too far.
After the completion of Helongkou, within a few days, the cave dwelling of Secretary Cao's family was completed and the wages were paid.
With nowhere to go, Sun Shaoping planned to stay at the house of his distant cousin who he had just stabbed in the back.
He was treated coldly, and after being rejected, he resented his cousin's family.
I don't think about it at all. I just came to Huangyuan, and my cousin Ma Shun helped me introduce the job.
I should have stabbed Ma Shun in the back. I had not considered how Ma Shun had offended the village party secretary and how the family would be made trouble in the future when they lived in the village.
I don’t know how Sun Shaoping still has the nerve to go to Mashun’s house.
Ma Shun at least introduced a job to Sun Shaoping, but Sun Shaoping could only stab Ma Shun in the back, and finally blamed Ma Shun for not caring about relatives.
Sun Shaoping, who had nowhere to go, had no choice but to go to the gathering place for job seekers, waiting under the Huangyuan Bridge in Dongguan to be selected by the contractor.
There was great competition among job seekers. There were many people but few construction sites, so it was no surprise that Sun Shaoping was not selected.
Since no contractor was selected, there was naturally no place to sleep, so Sun Shaoping thought of his good gay friend Jin Bo again.
This time Sun Shaoping was not as depressed as when he first arrived. He finally worked for more than two months, earned dozens of yuan, and bought a decent set of clothes.
In the evening, after failing to find a job, Sun Shaoping cleaned himself up and went to find a good friend at the address he had written to Jin Bo before.
I finally received a letter from Sun Yuhou, who asked someone to bring it to Huangyuan, asking Sun Shaoping to go home.
