The next morning, Jiang Yang got up before dawn and went to meet Jiang Yiming at the agreed time and place.
He arrived there almost at the same time as Jiang Yiming, and the two of them went to the labor market together.
When they arrived, there were already quite a few people in the labor market. The job they found that day was to clean out feces in the toilet of a certain unit.
Jiang Yang was a little resistant at first. He occasionally cleaned the dry toilet in his rural home, but he couldn't stand it every time. He couldn't even imagine the cesspools in the city units and the huge piles of feces and urine.
But when he looked at Jiang Yiming, he showed no expression of cowardice or disgust.
On the contrary, I was happy because I got the job today.
"Brother Yang, are you willing to go to the workplace to scavenge manure?"
He felt that Jiang Yang would not dislike this kind of work, but he was also afraid that Jiang Yang would dislike it.
After all, whether you are a city dweller or a rural dweller, you will all have an aversion to external contact with feces and urine.
Jiang Yang overcame his discomfort and nodded in agreement. "If you don't mind this job, why should I? I can do any job, as long as I can find it."
"Okay, let's do this today."
They and two other workers went to the place where manure was collected. Facing the huge manure pool behind the collective toilet, the three people still felt good. It was the first time that Jiang Yang saw such a "huge" scene. The unpleasant smell, the mosquitoes and flies flying everywhere, and the maggots in the pool not only opened his eyes, but also almost made him vomit.
Jiang Yiming said, "It's definitely a bit overwhelming when you do this for the first time. You need some time to get used to it. We'll have to use a dung shovel to dig it out later. If you can't stand just smelling and looking, how are you going to do the rest of the work? Either that or nothing."
"It's okay. I can do it."
He came from the countryside and didn't believe that he was not as capable as the kids in the city.
He took the dung bucket and dung shovel from Jiang Yiming's hands, and was the first to come to the dung pit, ready to squat down and bite the dung.
But with his nose smelling the odor and his eyes looking at the feces, urine, and maggots, he was struggling between escaping and staying.
Finally, he stretched out the dung scoop, bit it and put it into the dung bucket.
He managed to hold back the taste and not spit it out.
Then came the second scoop, the third scoop, and gradually... he discovered that as long as he could overcome the psychological burden and physical discomfort, shoveling excrement was not a particularly difficult job.
He earned one dollar today, which was more than he earned working and making furniture in the village.
I'm covered in the smell of shit, so I have to wash it off thoroughly when I get home.
They can't treat Jiang Yiming to a meal for the time being because they earn too little money, and they don't smell very good today. They will treat him when they are free and clean.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he went to take a shower.
There is a special shower room in the courtyard. It is summer now and there is hot water on the roof. He came out after washing and changing his clothes, and washed his dirty clothes.
Mei Xiangcao saw him washing clothes in the yard and walked over to ask him, "Xiaoyang, today is your first day. What kind of work are you doing? How is the work? Is it easy?"
As she got closer, she suddenly smelled a foul odor, like feces and urine.
"What's that smell? Why is it so bad?"
Jiang Yang was originally hesitant about whether to confess to them what he had done. Since Mei Xiangcao had already smelled it, if he insisted on hiding it, it might arouse suspicion.
"Mom, I went to clean the cesspool for someone else's company."
"A cesspool?"
"Yeah. Mom, it's nothing, just a little smelly. I can live with it. I only made a dollar today."
"That's a lot." Mei Xiangcao didn't think cleaning the manure pit was a job she couldn't do. "For country people like us who come here, it's good enough to find a job. There are many jobs in this world that need people to do. It's impossible for everyone to pick the good ones and leave the bad ones alone."
"Mom, it's just a little dirty and tiring, but it's not harmful to your health anyway. Um, when other people ask about it later, just tell them I'm working on a construction site. I'm afraid if they find out, they'll feel sick and lose their appetite the moment they see me."
Mei Xiangcao smiled and said, "Okay, Mom is willing to tell you this white lie."
Qin Wushuang has now become the mainstay of the art troupe, and her popularity is unparalleled. There is no one in the army who doesn't know her.
However, Jiang Ye no longer lived in the military area, and she rarely met him during the day. The only time she met him, he spoke harshly to her.
So what if he's the mainstay?
He still couldn't attract the male protagonist's attention and couldn't win his affection at all.
She had completely given up and planned to turn her attention to other officers.
But she thought the positions of those young officers were too low. Most of those in their twenties were platoon leaders, and at most they could become company commanders. Even if they became company commanders, they didn't look very good, and she didn't like them at all.
Those who hold higher positions are already older, and the key is that they have already started a family and have children. It is surprisingly difficult for her to find a suitable partner.
Finally one day, a young and handsome boy suddenly came into her sight.
The other party was 25 years old and already the deputy battalion commander. He took the initiative to pursue her.
Qin Wushuang was a little hesitant at first. After all, this man was still not as good as Jiang Ye and Guan Xingyao.
However, it was no longer possible for him to be with those two people, so now someone similar seemed to be acceptable.
So she started dating that guy.
