Chapter 5 Temporary Worker at Scrapyard
It was the first time that the little girl was greeted so formally. Her face turned red and she lowered her head, pointing casually, "The basin is over there."
Shen Yue made way after saying this and stared at the ground awkwardly.
Jiang Cheng looked at the seven-year-old Shen Yue in front of him. She was about 1.2 meters tall, with clean clothes and two pigtails. She had beautiful fox eyes, long eyelashes, and chubby cheeks, which made her look round and very cute.
"Thanks."
Jiang Cheng thanked them and borrowed the Shen family's washbasin to wash his face.
Shen Yue stood beside Jiang Cheng without knowing when, holding a white towel in her hand.
She stood there obediently, and when Jiang Cheng finished washing, she immediately handed him a white towel, and said quickly, fearing that Jiang Cheng might misunderstand, "It's new, my eldest brother mailed it back."
"Okay, thank you."
Jiang Cheng said thank you again, which made the little girl feel embarrassed again.
Shen Yue thought in her little head: Sister Jiang Cheng is so polite and gentle!
Jiang Cheng wiped the water off his face.
As she wiped, the thick drape of hair on her face was lifted.
Shen Yue's little mouth gradually became round, and little stars twinkled in her eyes.
Sister Jiang Cheng is so beautiful!
Compare……
Shen Yue tried hard to look beautiful, but she couldn't think of anyone who was prettier than her. Anyway, she felt that Jiang Cheng was the most beautiful sister she had ever seen.
"Wondering how I can be so pretty, huh?"
Jiang Cheng boasted about himself without any embarrassment and teased the little Shen Yue in front of him.
Chen Yue's face was still red, but she nodded very seriously and said, "Looks good! The best! The best!"
Shen Yue, who didn't know any adjectives, simply used five "most" to express her approval.
Jiang Cheng smiled brilliantly, and with that bright and generous smile he bent down, looked at Chen Yue and said, "Thank you for your compliment. Chen Yue is also the most polite and the most lovely little girl I have ever met!"
Shen Yue's face turned red instantly.
Jiang Cheng's smile got bigger, and he couldn't help pinching Shen Yue's little face and said, "Why are you so cute?"
Jiang Cheng didn't know yet that her straightforward praise had earned her a die-hard little fan.
After washing, Jiang Cheng and Shen Yue sat down at the dining table together.
The Shen family's house is a small three-room building on the right side of the east wing, with two bedrooms and a living room, dining room and kitchen in the middle.
The four of them sat in a circle. On the table was a bowl of cornmeal cakes, a small bowl of soup with more tomatoes and less eggs, and a portion of homemade cowpea pickles.
Aunt Chen said, "Let's eat," and she took a pancake first.
Then the nine-year-old brother Shen Xing took a corn cake and put it into Shen Yue's bowl.
"Eat! After we're full, we can write a letter to Big Brother. It'll be dark soon, and if we don't write quickly, we'll waste electricity."
"Yueyue, have you decided what to write?"
"You have to think about it carefully, so you don't make mistakes easily when you write. If you make a mistake, the paper will be easily damaged after erasing it."
"Also, be sure to write both sides of the letter. This will save you a lot of money!"
"I figured out what I was going to write last night—woo woo woo"
Shen Xing, who was speaking, had his mouth blocked by a corn tortilla.
Aunt Shen put down her hand, without even glancing at Shen Xing, and looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "If we don't block him, he can talk for an hour."
“No way!”
Shen Xing held the corn cake and looked at Jiang Cheng seriously, explaining, "I have to write a letter to my brother today, so I won't talk for an hour."
Jiang Cheng understood and smiled without answering.
As the group was eating, Shen Xing's unique young voice could be heard from time to time. After dinner, Jiang Cheng took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Aunt Shen did not fight for it.
After washing, Auntie Shen helped Jiang Cheng trim his hair.
Aunt Shen looked at Jiang Cheng's delicate face and reminded her, "Don't go out too late, come back early."
"Yes, you are right."
Jiang Cheng did not argue and agreed readily.
Aunt Shen smiled and said nothing more. Jiang Cheng, who was able to get money from the Lin family and prepare to rent a house in advance, would not be a stupid person.
As night fell and Jiang Cheng returned to his room to rest, Shen Xing stuffed five sheets of letter paper filled with writing on the front and back into the envelope.
The letter began: Brother, a very beautiful sister has moved into our house, her name is Jiang Cheng*********The next morning, Jiang Cheng got up early, and followed Du Yun out one after the other when no one was paying attention.
The morning in the courtyard begins with the sound of jingling bells.
Every household is busy making breakfast, rushing to work or school, and some have just returned from the night shift.
Say hello to each other and ask if you have eaten.
The children were in pairs of two or groups of three, carrying green single-shoulder school bags and aluminum lunch boxes in their hands. When they ran, the school bags were pulled by the straps and flew up into the air.
He was laughing and was scolded by his own mother behind him, and he ran out of the compound without caring.
The housewives who did not need to go to work in the yard gathered around the well to fetch water, wash clothes and wash dishes. Each of them sat on a small stool, and information flow was generated through the conversations between them.
Of course, the hot topic right now is still Jiang Cheng and the Lin family.
"Do you think the street can let Jiang Cheng live in the Shen family? She doesn't have a job."
"Of course not. The Lin family has been talking about visiting relatives before. The Shen family is not a relative."
"Why bother with those things when the streets are there to worry about? The Lin family was so funny this morning. They wanted to add water to the stewed cabbage, but the water was too strong and the cabbage all washed out!"
"Hahahaha! You haven't worked for three years. You've made yourself precious."
With a bang, the door of the Lin family was pushed open, and Lin Jiaojiao glared at the well angrily.
He Dan, who was standing next to Lin Jiaojiao, pulled Lin Jiaojiao. Lin Jiaojiao withdrew her gaze and went out with He Dan.
The people near the well curled their lips and continued talking even louder.
At the same time, Jiang Cheng followed Du Yun to the scrap collection station in the city.
A sign with red letters on a white background was hung vertically on the red brick door wall. When I walked in, the old man was there, but it was not as messy and random as in the novel.
Jiang Cheng, following behind Du Yun, went directly to the office of the leader of the scrap collection station.
After Du Yun explained the situation, the leader sitting there did not make things difficult for them. After asking for Jiang Cheng's letter of introduction and identity certificate, he processed the temporary worker procedures for the two of them.
"Du Yun, explain the work clearly."
"Don't worry, Director. I will make sure everything is explained clearly."
Du Yun took Jiang Cheng, who had been silent and had not shown any interest, out.
"I'm in charge of registration. Four people are responsible for sorting the items that have been delivered. Sister Wang and I are in charge of registration."
Jiang Cheng listened carefully and followed Du Yun into the backyard of the purchasing station, where he met four brothers in charge of classification and another sister Wang in charge of registration.
After a few people greeted each other, Jiang Cheng followed Du Yun to familiarize himself with the work.
The scrap collection station in front of us is well organized, with orderly procedures and orderly transfers.
Compared with this, the garbage classification in later generations is not good enough.
The categories of recycled items are shockingly detailed! Chicken and duck feathers, toothpaste tubes, meat bones, turtle shells, orange peels, broken glass, cotton wool, hair, etc., there is nothing they don't collect, except what you can't think of.
That’s not all, chicken feathers and duck feathers need to be further subdivided!
Such as white fine chicken feathers, large duck down, small duck down and so on.
After seeing this, Jiang Cheng had only one thought: the bargains mentioned in novels are as difficult to find here as ascending to heaven! (End of this chapter)
