Era space: flirting with tens of billions of materials

pier.

Before the start of work, the dock workers talked in small groups about topics of interest to them.

There have been fewer dock workers in recent days. I heard they went to work for gringos.

"I heard that they get one hundred yuan a day." Qiang Zai sat on the stone, smoking a cigarette with eyes full of melancholy, "They are all working, and the difference is huge."

Lu Zai was carrying a big steamed bun steamed by the two old ladies, and grinned upward: "I think it's good now. Brother doesn't have to fight with us, and we can still make money."

Qiang Zai curled his lips: "Brother, a bowl of shark fin costs a hundred yuan. I also want to get ahead and eat shark fin." As he said, he touched Lu Zai with his elbow, "Do you want to eat shark fin?"

Lu Zai smiled naively: "I don't want to... but my mother has never eaten it."

"When I get out, I'll treat you and my mother to some shark's fin." Qiang Zai patted Lu Zai on the shoulder with loyalty, and then pointed at a few good friends around him, "And you guys."

"Yeah."

"You have to keep your word..."

"When you come out to hang out, the most important thing is loyalty," Qiang Zai raised his chin, "I will do what I say."

"You guys, come here."

"Hey, here we come!"

Several young people who were dreaming about big brother a second ago ran over immediately when they heard Ah Sheng calling them.

"Brother Sheng."

They shouted in unison.

In fact, they have been in a lot of trouble lately.

Many people in the dock have already changed their calling to Ah Sheng as "big brother". They also think that Brother Asheng is very good, but their eldest brother who has disappeared for several days is still alive. They feel that they have to be loyal when they come out to hang out. If they want to change the prefix, they have to wait until the eldest brother is dead.

So they still call Ah Sheng "Brother Sheng".

Ah Sheng didn't care what they called him, he smiled and took the cigarette away from Qiang Zai's hand and flicked it away: "You're not old, don't learn this."

He did this without any burden, completely forgetting that he himself had given Lu Zai cigarettes.

Qiang Zai touched his bald head and said, "It's not Brother Ba Sheng. How can you not smoke cigarettes when you go out to hang out?"

"My boss never smokes, but he is still a boss." Ah Sheng pulled Qiang Zai's head and scolded with a smile, "You don't rely on smoking cigarettes to get around, but your brain."

"Ah?" Qiang Zai was confused.

Ah Sheng's words were beyond his understanding.

Ah Sheng did not continue to talk to him about quitting smoking, but turned to another topic: "The company is going to build a dock and build machines to move goods in the future. The boss asked me to pick a few young people to learn how to operate the machines. How about you guys?" Come with me, kid.”

"what--"

Several young people drawled in unison, their reluctance written on their faces.

Ah Sheng was still smiling and asked: "What? Are you afraid of not making money?"

Lu Zai nodded at this question. He looked ashamed and hesitated: "Brother Sheng, you know the situation of my family... I have to support my mother."

Ah Sheng casually asked with concern: "Auntie, have you finished taking the medicine?"

"Not yet, there are still many." Lu Zai felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect Brother Sheng to be so busy and still thinking about my mother's medicine.

"We need to talk after eating," Ah Sheng patted him on the shoulder. "It's the company's requirement that you go study. You will be given a subsidy of thirty yuan a day, and the school will take care of two meals. If you have any other questions, you can tell me. Talk to the boss."

Thirty yuan a day is more than ten yuan less than working at the dock, but the dock does not provide food, so if you do the math, it's about the same.

Lu Zai felt relieved and no longer questioned.

Ah Sheng's eyes passed over him and then looked at the others: "What about you?"

Qiang Zai rubbed his head in pain: "Brother Sheng, you can read my words but I can't read them. I haven't even finished elementary school, how can I learn?"

Several others also nodded: "Yes, I get a headache when studying."

"I get annoyed when I see books."

"You can't learn it, you really can't learn it."

Ah Sheng didn't try to persuade him, he just asked, "You really don't want to learn?"

The four of them shook their heads in unison, with expressions of resistance on their faces.

Ah Sheng patted Lu Zai on the shoulder: "Lu Zai, then come with me."

He calmly accepted the reality that only one person was willing to follow him. It seemed that he just wanted to find one person in the first place. "Hey, okay." Lu Zai didn't think too much and followed Ah Sheng step by step.

Behind him, the Qiang boys stayed where they were, waving to him.

Lu Zai also waved to them, gradually widening the distance.

After walking for a while, Ah Sheng asked: "Do you like reading?"

"Huh?" Lu Zaihan smiled and shook his head, "I don't like it."

"Oh? Then why come?"

"The company has helped me a lot," Lu Zai said. "My mother's health has been much better recently... My father died early. He never went to school and only spoke one idiom. He said, "Repay kindness with kindness."

Ah Sheng stopped and turned to look at Lu Zai. After a long silence, he smiled.

Patting Lu Zai's shoulder again, Ah Sheng said, "The younger generation is to be feared."

Lu Zai was a little confused. He didn't understand what Ah Sheng meant, so he just smiled naively.

Ah Sheng said nothing and took him into his car and left the noisy dock.

Lu Zai was riding in a car for the first time. He felt that nothing was right. He didn't know where to put his hands. He swallowed his saliva and hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice: "Brother Sheng, where are you going?"

"Before sending you to school, you have to do something for the boss..."

……

In the hotel.

Rong Zhiguo and Chang Jinzhong didn't sleep well last night.

The bed was so soft that it felt like I was on a ship again. No matter how I lay on it, I felt uncomfortable.

In the middle of the night, they simply made a bed on the floor, and then they slept soundly.

This morning, the two of them sat facing each other on the floor, silent.

"Did that kid say he wanted to take me to the women's bathhouse yesterday?" Rong Zhiguo asked, frowning.

Chang Jinzhong obviously hadn't recovered yet and shook his head: "No, you said you wanted to take her to the men's bathhouse."

"Don't be so careless. I am a teacher, how can I say something like this?" Rong Zhiguo immediately became anxious.

But thinking about it briefly, he seems...maybe...seems like...he actually said something about a men's bathhouse...

Comrade Lao Rong's face turned red with shame.

"Dong dong dong."

"Master, Uncle Chang, are you two awake?"

Lin Nianhe's voice came from outside the door.

Rong Zhiguo felt that his face was shameless, so he lay down on the spot, pulled up the quilt and covered his head.

Seeing him like this, Chang Jinzhong's eyes lit up, he climbed up, straightened his clothes and opened the door: "Xiao Lin, wake up, wake up, your master is also awake!"

"Fart! I'm still asleep!"

Comrade Lao Rong's muffled curses came from the quilt.

Lin Nianhe didn't know what was going on and thought it was his master who was making a fuss about getting out of bed, so he coaxed him: "Master, we agreed that Mr. Shen would take you and Uncle Chang to the factory to visit the production line today. He has already arrived, why don't you get up? "

Rong Zhiguo: "...?"

Because the fragmentary memory of seasickness finally came back, Rong Zhiguo lifted up the quilt, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Why are you urging me? Let's go now."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the restaurant on the second floor." Lin Nianhe smiled good-naturedly.

"Okay, okay, got it."

Rong Zhiguo turned his back to the door, trying his best to maintain his dignity as a teacher.

Lin Nianhe didn't think too much, gave Chang Jinzhong some directions and went to the restaurant first.

When Lin Nianhe and Shen Hongzun were discussing what to have for breakfast, Ah Sheng came.

"Ms. Lin." Ah Sheng walked to the table and said softly, "I brought it here."

Lin Nianhe looked up and saw Lu Zai, who was following Ah Sheng tremblingly, rubbing the corners of his clothes and feeling uneasy.
