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 urban 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 and 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 little overwhelming when you do this for the first time. You need some time to get used to it. We'll have to use manure 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 scoop 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 put the feces down, bit it and put it in the feces bucket.
He managed to hold back the taste and not spit it out.
Then came the second month, the third month, 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.
We can't treat Jiang Yiming to a meal for the time being because we earn too little money. Besides, they don't smell very good today. We'll treat him when we have time and are 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 him and asked, "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 initially hesitant about whether to confess his work to them, since the plum blossoms and vanilla had already been smelled, if he insisted on hiding it, it might arouse suspicion.
"Mom, I went to clean the cesspool for someone else's company."
