The next day, because they had to go out to work and earn money, the two of them did not sleep in and crawled out of bed at seven in the morning.
Walking on the street, Qiu Mengyun ate the buns in her hand and looked at Xia Tian beside her and asked, "Xia Tian, what are we going to do today? Do you have any plans?"
Xia Tian took a sip of soy milk and replied, "How about we just hand out flyers? After all, you don't have much work experience, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle another job if it's too tiring. Let's hand out flyers for another day to give you some time to adjust. Once you've adjusted to this kind of life, we can switch jobs."
Qiu Mengyun shook her head and said, "Forget about handing out flyers. It's 15 yuan an hour, so the two of us together only make 30 yuan. Even if we start now and work until 9 pm, we'll only make 300 yuan, excluding the time for meals and rest. And that doesn't even include the cost of food and water. If you add that in, each person will only make about 100 yuan a day."
Xia Tian did not rush to refute, but asked seriously: "What do you want to do? Do you have any plans or ideas in mind? If it is reliable, we will do as you say."
Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "Hehe, actually, before I went to bed last night, I had already thought about what I would do today."
"Oh? What are you doing? Did you come across any new suitable jobs while handing out flyers last night?" Xia Tian asked curiously. They had only inquired about a few jobs yesterday. It didn't make sense that there would be any suitable jobs that he didn't know about.
"Carrying the building! I think this job is pretty good. Not only is the work flexible and no one supervises me while I'm working, but the more I work, the more I earn. It's much better than the fixed 15 yuan an hour we make handing out flyers." Qiu Mengyun stated her plan seriously.
"Ahem! Are you kidding me? Jobs like that are usually done by young men with no skills who want to make more money. What's motivating you, a delicate little girl, to suddenly want to do this?" Xia Tian, who was drinking soy milk, choked on his food after hearing Qiu Mengyun's answer. He had never imagined that Qiu Mengyun's new job would be something he had rejected, like carrying buildings.
Qiu Mengyun analyzed the situation seriously with Xia Tian, "Look! We only make 15 yuan for an hour handing out flyers, but it's different when we carry materials up or bring down a bag of construction waste, and we can earn around 3 yuan."
"If we only have to make five trips an hour, we can make the same as handing out flyers. If we work a little harder and make a few more trips, the rest will be pure profit. Even if we haven't done it before and aren't as fast as others, we can always make fewer trips according to our ability! At the end of the day, we'll still make more than handing out flyers."
Although Qiu Mengyun's words made sense, Xia Tian still shook his head and refused: "Forget about carrying the building. This job is really not suitable for me. It's too tiring."
Xia Tian was not afraid of hardship. If he were alone, he would carry the load. But if Qiu Mengyun were to join him, he would never agree to do so.
In his mind, this kind of heavy work should be exclusive to men. How could he let a delicate girl do this kind of work?
Even though Qiu Mengyun was not his real girlfriend and they were just partners, he was still unwilling to let her work with him. In his opinion, letting a woman who followed him suffer was a sign of his incompetence.
After being rejected, Qiu Mengyun was not discouraged at all. She seemed to have anticipated that her proposal would be ruthlessly rejected by Xia Tian.
She immediately pulled Xia Tian's arm and said coquettishly, "Oh! I know carrying the building is a bit tiring, but we can not work so hard! We are not really forced to do it for a living. We can definitely carry it for a while and rest for a while! Don't worry, I won't ask anything of you. You can rest anytime you are tired."
Xia Tian shook his head and laughed, "You misunderstood. I didn't refuse to do this job because I was afraid of hardship or fatigue. I just didn't want you to suffer this hardship and pain. After all, many young men can't handle this kind of work."
Hearing Xia Tian's tone soften, Qiu Mengyun quickly assured him, "Oh! I'm not as delicate as you think. In fact, I used to be very tired after singing for hours at a concert. At most, I can just stop and rest when I'm tired. If that doesn't work, you can always supervise me. Whenever you think I need a break, I will definitely stop and rest without saying a word."
"Just give me a chance, let me experience it, okay? We came out this time to experience the lives of ordinary people, to feel what the lives of couples are like in daily life. I think this is also a very good experience, so just agree to let me do it this time! If it really doesn't work out, we can just leave immediately."
Seeing Qiu Mengyun's dedication to the job, Xia Tian's attitude wavered. He felt Qiu Mengyun had a point. They came out to experience a different life. Perhaps, carrying a building was a good experience. If it weren't for this program, they probably wouldn't have had the chance to experience this job in their lifetime.
Thinking that this job was relatively free and not too restrictive, and that he could leave immediately after Qiu Mengyun suffered, Xia Tian reluctantly nodded.
"It's okay for me to promise to carry the building, but you have to answer a question for me first."
"Whatever questions you have, just ask. I promise to tell you everything I know." Qiu Mengyun said excitedly when she saw that her plan was about to succeed.
