Chapter 15 Bullying

As the new year was approaching, Qi Nuliang began to look for a job.

Every morning, when he went out, Jiang Yu also went out.When he went home at night, Jiang Yu also went home.Jiang Yu didn't ask him where he was going, and he didn't ask Jiang Yu either.But from the fact that the child sometimes drags back a bunch of empty bottles when he comes home late, and guesses with a pile of waste paper shells, he has been picking up trash during the whole day of going out.

Qi Nuliang went to the Japanese Chemical Primary School to inquire about it. Jiang Yu's household registration has been moved out from the Daily Chemical Factory. It stands to reason that he should enroll in the primary school in the area where his registered permanent residence is located.However, since his family's house in the daily chemical factory is still there, the admission policy can be relaxed, allowing him to attend the daily chemical primary school.However, this semester is coming to an end, and it is suggested that he re-enroll in the new semester.

It's time to go to school, Qi Nuliang hasn't discussed it with Jiang Yu yet.From the street that sent him to school before, the child is very resistant to the school.What's more, a tuition and miscellaneous fee of a few hundred yuan is not a small amount for him, and he still has to find a job first.

Hongcheng is located in the middle of two mountain ranges that branch off the Qinling Mountains, and the transportation is inconvenient, and it takes several hours to drive from Nanquan City.Like most small [-]th-tier cities in the central and western regions, Hongcheng is also a relatively poor and backward area, let alone any industry.

The sky was gray, and Qi Nuliang was walking aimlessly on the streets of Hongcheng, turning his head and looking around, hoping to see where there was a recruitment notice.It's been a few days, and I've asked a few times, and they all say it's not appropriate.

The place felt strange and familiar to him now.The small town that used to be as big as a palm has now expanded a lot.Sometimes when he went to a strange place, he had to ask all the way back.The streetscape of the old city also changed, and the buildings on both sides were much taller than he had imagined.

However, nothing has changed, the people who live in this place are still there.The faces sitting behind the small doors on both sides of the street, and the faces of pedestrians walking on the street, people always have a lazy expression of doing nothing, which is the expression of mediocre and free people, at least he is "inside" Never seen such a face.

I have gone back and forth on these streets several times, and I have also read several job recruitment notices posted on the doors and faces, but none of them are suitable.Turning to a restaurant that was being renovated, he saw a lot of recruitment information written on the red paper pasted on the glass door, so he walked in.

The boss was a big fat man, who stood imposingly in the middle of the room directing the construction workers. When he turned his head to Qi Nuliang, he was very kind.He took the initiative to give him a cigarette and asked him what he had done.

Qi Nuliang shook his head: "I don't have much experience... I think you have a trick. Do you chop vegetables?"

"That's right, Dunzi is specialized in chopping vegetables."

"Then can you see me?"

"Have you had any experience?"

"No... Everyone knows how to chop vegetables, right?"

The boss looked him up and down a few times: "That's not necessarily true. You think the restaurant's dumplings are the same as cooking at home. But if you want to try, you can come back after the opening and let the master see if you can do it." Said After finishing, the boss handed him a business card written by himself, with his name and phone number on it.

Qi Nuliang squeezed his business card and asked again: "What about the waiter?"

The boss squinted his eyes and smiled: "Every waiter must be a woman."

After shopping for a long time, there was nothing to gain.Sitting on the cold stone steps of the flower bed, Qi Nuliang took out the cigarette case on his chest, which was already empty.He crumpled the cigarette case in frustration and got up to go back.

He is not without technology at all. During the transformation "inside", he stepped on the sewing machine and could do some weaving work.In the past, an inmate who worked with him told him that after he left, he could go to the south to enter the factory, and it would be no problem to make a living with this.

When he first came out, he had the same plan. After returning to Hongcheng to finish some things, he was going to go to Guangdong alone.There was another former cellmate of his over there.

But man is not as good as heaven, and now he has to take care of Jiang Yu, and he can't go anywhere.

On the way back, Qi Nuliang saw a job offer on a telephone pole by the roadside.It's not accurate to say it's a recruitment, it's more like an advertisement.The above said in a woman's tone that her husband died young and left a lot of wealth, but she suffered from having no children.We are looking for a young and middle-aged male to help her conceive. If the pregnancy is successful, she will be rewarded with [-] yuan, and if she gives birth to a son, an additional [-] yuan will be given.

Qi Nu stared at the advertisement for a long time, then looked down at his crotch, then looked up at the advertisement again, staring at the word "[-]".Although this matter is a bit of a thing, the reward is really quite generous. If they have this money, then their days will be easier in the future.

He looked around and saw no one around, so he tore off the advertisement and put it in his pocket.Very cautiously, as if holding a chance to make a fortune.

Passing by a small shop, he went in and bought a pack of cigarettes.

I couldn't wait to take a sip when I opened it, thinking in a good mood, if I had that money, I could redecorate my home.At least scrape the walls, turn on the gas in the kitchen, install a water heater in the bathroom, and buy a TV.By the way, I have to buy another bed for another bedroom, and he can't sleep on the sofa all the time.

Let’s save the rest, Jiang Yu is still young, so he might spend more in the future.

Passing by the vegetable market, Qi Nuliang bought some vegetables, and felt that the opportunity to make money was coming soon, so he generously bought half a braised goose and a bunch of candied haws.

When I took it home, I found that the child had come back and was sitting on the sofa.It was dark and I couldn't see what he was doing.

"Are you hungry? Candied haws, come and eat."

Qi Nuliang put the candied haws on a table in front of the sofa, carried the vegetables to the kitchen, and started cooking dinner.The table was moved out of Jiang Yu's room, and it was placed here as a dining table for the two of them.

It was strange to see that the candied haws on the table didn't move when Qi Nuliang's fried dishes came out.

"Jiang Yu?"

The child doesn't answer.

But he doesn't always like to talk, and Qi Nuliang is very used to it.Looking at Jiang Yu's face, one could tell whether he was listening to him or not.

Qi Nuliang turned on the light in the living room.When the incandescent light came on, Qi Nuliang saw that the child was bent over with his head bowed, his arms hugging his stomach.Even if he was dressed thickly, he could still see the arched back, weak and thin.

Qi Nuliang walked over, coughed lightly, and tried to make his tone gentle: "What's the matter, are you uncomfortable?"

The child does not speak.

"Stomach pain?" Qi Nuliang reached out and raised Jiang Yu's face.

Seeing that face, Qi Nuliang's blood pressure immediately rose, and he didn't care to scare him, and asked loudly, "Who did it?"

The child was crying, but there was no sound at all.But both sides of his face were red and swollen, Qi Nuliang could tell at a glance that he was slapped repeatedly, and he was very familiar with it when he was "inside".This must have been bullied by some bastard.

Pulling away Jiang Yu's arm covering his stomach, the padded jacket was torn from the pocket, with a long tear, and the artificial cotton inside also leaked out.

Qi Nuliang squeezed Jiang Yu's hand tightly, and asked through gritted teeth, "Tell me who hit it, and I'll go to him now to settle the score."
