Chapter 307: Visiting Ada's Home



After Song Lei moved all the fish away, the money also reached Zhao Xing smoothly. After receiving such a large sum of money, he called to inquire about it as soon as possible.

After learning that Zheng Gan earned the money in a week, Zhao Xing laughed happily on the phone and kept saying good things, asking Zheng Gan to continue working hard and strive to achieve such results every week.

He was too lazy to say anything more about this, so he just hung up the phone, then gathered everyone on the boat and started distributing bonuses.

During this week, everyone on the ship earned a lot of bonuses in addition to their wages. For formal employees like Lin Hao, Sardines received a bonus of 2,000 yuan, a little more because it was a good start, and Horse Mackerel received 1,000 yuan, plus Pearl received 2,000 yuan as hush money, for a total of 5,000 yuan in bonuses.

This is already a lot, higher than the salary.

As for Ada and the other three, they were temporary workers, so their bonuses were less, totaling 2,000 yuan. But even if it was more than half less, it still made the four of them extremely excited. Adding this month's salary, it was already 3,500 yuan.

And there are still three weeks left this month, so there will definitely be a bonus. With such a high salary, how can I not work hard?

"Okay, we've got the money. Rest here for a day tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow." Zheng Gan instructed. This past week had been quite tiring, and since they had already returned to the dock, they might as well give everyone a day off to relax.

After everyone responded, they went back to their rooms in twos and threes, while Ada and the other three came to Zheng Gan to ask for leave, saying that they wanted to go home and give the money to their families.

Zheng Gan naturally had no objection to this. The money given to the four of them was in cash, which was exchanged from Song Lei.

"Ada, how about taking us to visit your home?" Zheng Gan suddenly had an idea and wanted to go out and see the local customs and culture, and by the way, treat it as a way to comfort the employees.

"Ah? Boss, you want to go to my house?" Ah Da's eyes widened, and he was very embarrassed. "My house is too shabby, I'm afraid you will dislike it."

Zheng Gan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't mind. Let's go and take a look. We have been here for more than a week and haven't gone shopping yet. They won't unwelcome us, will they?"

What kind of shabby environment could be worse than the one in his old house? Besides, he was just going to take a look.

Seeing that their boss was determined to go, Ada and the others had no choice but to agree. However, among the four locals, Ada's family was relatively the best, so they decided to go to Ada's house.

However, Ada asked Zheng Gan to go there tomorrow on the grounds that it was already late, and he agreed. It was normal. After all, guests were coming, so it was normal to clean the house in advance.

"I told you in advance that you don't need to prepare anything. I will bring all the food and drinks. If you don't listen to me, you don't have to get on the boat." Zheng Gan said viciously. After all, it was you who insisted on being the guest. How could you let this family, which was not rich to begin with, specially entertain you.

Having his thoughts seen through, Ah Da could only respond in a low voice. He had originally wanted to discuss with Ah Er and the other two about pooling money to buy some good things, but now it seemed that was not possible.

The next morning, Zheng Gan took Lin Hao, Jiang Feng and chef Jia Teng and set off with bags full of things. The things they brought were basically daily necessities, such as rice, flour, oil and meat, which were also the things that Ada and the others lacked the most.

A Da also came back early in the morning. He rented a car and took the four of them to his home. Zheng Gan originally thought that the distance was not far, but it took more than four hours to reach the destination.

It's a small village by the sea.

"It's okay, the scenery is pretty good, and it's almost the same as my home." Zheng Gan laughed, but what he would see in the next moment was a scene he had never seen in his life.

Ah Da was a little embarrassed when he heard him say that. Now they were at the entrance of a small village, so things would naturally look a little better on the surface.

The group of five began to head towards the village. The further they walked, the worse the environment and conditions became. Before, when they were outside, they could still see some houses that looked nice on the surface, but after walking for a while, these houses became worse and worse, and even thatched houses began to appear.

This is the seaside, what good is a thatched hut? A strong wind will blow it away.

Zheng Gan swallowed his saliva. They hadn't stopped yet. Ada's house must be in extremely poor condition, probably far worse than his old house.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the place and saw Ada's house, the four of them fell silent.

Can you even call this a house? A thatched hut is barely enough!

"Boss, my house is really too simple." Ada also saw their expressions and felt very embarrassed.

Zheng Gan didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder.

The A's family members in the house probably heard the noise outside and all came out.

Zheng Gan was even more dumbfounded. No wonder Ada lived in such poverty. There were ten people in this family including Ada. Not to mention in Africa, even in China, one person probably couldn't support so many people.

Finally, Ada introduced everyone, and Zheng Gan finally understood that among the nine people were Ada's wife and six children, and the two old people were his parents.

Six children! Zheng Gan sighed, and without saying anything more, he turned around and told Lin Hao and the others to put down the things they had brought.

"I'm sorry, boss. My family is really..." Ada said tremblingly, fearing that his boss would be unhappy.

"It's okay, I just didn't expect your family conditions to be so bad. If you're in this condition, you can imagine what the lives of Er and the other three are like." Zheng Gan understood that the four locals would definitely find the one with the best conditions to entertain them.

The best conditions are like this, I don’t know what the others will be like.

"Actually, we are doing very well now. Our salary is enough for our family's daily expenses. I have saved all the bonus you gave me, so we will have enough money to renovate the house when the time comes." Ada said this in a very happy tone. Everything was getting better.

"Do a good job." Zheng Gan didn't say much after hearing this. If these four outsiders could get his approval, they would naturally get a salary increase, and their bonuses could be the same as those of other people.

"Uncle Teng, could you please see if you can make a meal here at noon today?"

The purpose of bringing Jia Teng here is to help with cooking, but it seems that this may not be possible under the current conditions.
