"I'm leaving now! Go slowly when you get out of bed. There are snacks and biscuits by the bed. Just make do with them. I'll come back to bring you something delicious in the evening!"
Jiang Cha wore a pair of overalls and a shirt, his hair parted in a 3:7 style and slicked with pomade. He looked like a typical Shanghainese young master, his leather shoes polished to a shine so bright they could reflect one's reflection!
"Be careful. No one knows their situation. Be smart and run away if the situation is not right. Don't be stubborn, okay? We have been keeping our heads above water since we joined the revolution."
"It was our fault for involving you in the first place. It's really useless for a group of adults to let a child clean up their mess! Be careful and ensure your own safety first at all times, okay?"
Da Hu kept repeating the same thing over and over again all morning, and Jiang Cha's ears were almost callused from hearing it.
"Alright, alright! Don't worry! Let's go!"
After saying this, he walked out of the house in a very arrogant manner and stopped a rickshaw on the way to the place where laborers were hired.
For many newcomers, their initial city dreams begin with working at the docks.
The docks need stevedores to move cargo all year round. They don't need any skills, as long as they have some strength, they can support their families.
They often waited near the dock for contractors to come and select people. Over time, this place gradually became a labor market. This was probably the earliest labor market.
"Boss, look at my physique. I can just carry the sack and go. I'm in great shape!"
"Boss, I'm very capable. I've been working here for several years. Everyone at the dock knows me, Liu Laosi, for my quick work!"
"Boss, what do you think of me? I'm cheaper than those guys!"
As soon as she arrived, she heard a lot of noise and the competition was quite fierce.
Jiang Cha was not very old, and many people thought she had just come with the adults to watch the fun, so no one paid any attention to her.
"How old are you?"
After walking around inside, she saw two brothers squatting on the ground. The older one looked about the same age as her, and the younger one was at most seven or eight years old.
The small one huddled beside the big one, his clothes were tattered, and he looked pale and thin, probably a refugee from somewhere.
"Master, I am thirteen years old and my brother is nine years old."
Good job!
The child is nine years old and still this small?
"Can I give you a job? Help me get the word out and find someone. I'll give you two dollars a day, and I'll even provide you two with a meal."
The boy stood up swiftly, his eyes full of doubt but he still took it.
It wasn't until his younger brother stood up that he understood why. The child had a problem with his legs, and it was probably difficult for him to find a job, so he took over the job to support his younger brother.
I asked the two of them to follow me, and then I found a few gossipy aunties. It was said that they usually ran a sex trade around here.
A lot of the money earned by a group of hard-working laborers after a day of hard work went directly into their pockets.
Where there is buying, there is selling. The elderly and children in these people's families are waiting to buy rice to cook, but in the end they only seek momentary pleasure and ignore the lives of their families.
She arrived early, as the aunt's shop didn't open until the evening. At this time, she usually took on some sewing and mending work, all to support the family and to survive, so no one should look down on anyone else.
Fortunately, this place is not too far from where Yan Jing and the others live. It only takes twenty minutes to walk there, which is no pressure at all for these people.
"When you get here, go around the streets and yell at me, the louder the better, 'I only have money to vent my anger on my sister at home.
Damn, who told her to hook up with my brother-in-law? I went looking for her yesterday, but I couldn't find her. Today, just shout loudly for me. Don't worry, I'll take care of it and provide you with food. I'm sure you'll have enough to eat!
"Two dollars a head for a meal, I'm willing to be the scapegoat as long as I can vent my anger! Remember what I just taught you, don't forget it. Today I'm going to make their whole family lose face in this neighborhood and let the neighbors poke their backs!"
After giving everything he wanted, he got on a rickshaw at the door, followed by a large group of people, and a little kid was sitting on the pedal under his feet.
The younger brother of the two brothers had problems with his legs and had difficulty walking, so Jiang Cha let him sit at his feet.
The footrest of the rickshaw was spacious enough for him to sit on.
The two brothers were very satisfied with this arrangement. You know, usually the employers disliked his younger brother and called him "cripple".
Seeing that Jiang Cha not only did not despise his younger brother, but also offered him a ride, he was extremely touched. If it weren't for the fact that the job was only open for one day, he would have wanted to work with the young master for a long time.
"It's right here. I don't even know where they live, I only heard the general location. Scream loudly today and I'm going to bring their entire family to ruin!"
After saying that, he sat down at the wonton stall where he was yesterday, waiting for the surprise they would bring.
"What would you like to eat?"
"Master wants to eat chocolate cake, do you have any?"
"This is a wonton stand, how can there be any cakes?"
The wonton seller is not accompanying me, which means that if you don’t want to buy, just get out!
Yesterday's particularly generous young boss was still here on duty today. Even though he was nodding and bowing just now, his eyes couldn't deceive anyone, and the disdain and impatience he couldn't hide were as obvious as they could be.
“Bang!”
"I'll take this table. Is one dollar enough?"
I slammed a dollar on the table, then asked him with shaking legs if it was enough.
He played the role of a dandy boy very well, and anyone who saw him would say that he was a fool and a spendthrift.
