Chapter 37 New Jobs

Winter is here, and Jiang Yu's weekend make-up classes have also begun.Since he was left for tutoring after school in the afternoon, he has to do homework until late at night when he returns home every day.After starting make-up classes on weekends, he has almost no time to play.

Qi Nuliang saw the child working hard, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't help with learning.The only thing I can do is not to tell him about my dismissal.This child was originally thoughtful and was always worried about having no money. Letting him know about this would definitely affect his studies.

But unemployment is not just a matter of concealment.One big, one small, and two mouths are waiting to eat. The water and electricity bills at home, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all expenses, and now there is a fixed monthly expenditure for class fees.Qi Nuliang calculated and calculated the remaining money, but he couldn't support it for long.In the final analysis, I have to find a job quickly, and the income of the job should not be too low, otherwise I can't afford a middle school student who is going to school.

This morning, Jiang Yu was sent to school as usual, and he also pretended to go to work.After he entered the school, he turned back to the daily chemical community, found Liang Mazi downstairs, and asked him to refund the money.

But Liang Mazi said that there is no such thing in the world, everything that should be done by him has been done well, and those that should have been taken care of by him have also been taken care of, Qi Nuliang himself did not do well and was fired, how could he be blamed on him.

Qi Nuliang knew he was in the wrong, and he was not a person who was good at sophistry, so he just sat in Liang Mazi's empty breakfast shop in the afternoon, and asked him: "I gave you more than half of the first month's salary, and I only took three jobs. Monthly class, you return the rest of your business to me."

"You mean that I don't want to take any money from you. I'm just helping out for nothing. Think about it. We are not relatives, and there are a long list of people looking for me. Why do I have to help?" You can't?"

"..." Qi Nuliang sucked on the cheap cigarette in his hand, blushed, and muttered, "Can you earn less and refund me five hundred? I really have no money, and I won't be able to find a job for a while. Appropriate, Jiang Yu still has to go to school..."

"That's enough, that's enough, it's really bad luck for me to meet you." I don't know if I heard the name "Jiang Yu", and it was because of the affection of neighbors for so many years, Liang Mazi let go, "I don't care about money." Maybe I will give you back, everyone in this film has asked me for job introductions, and the rules must not be broken. I will show you if there is any suitable one, and I will introduce you for free."

As long as you have a job, Qi Nuliang agreed: "Okay, hurry up, and the salary can't be less than that of the supermarket."

"If you want education but no education, you need skills but no skills, the requirements are quite high."

This remark made Qi Nuliang very embarrassed, and added: "Any kind of work is fine, it doesn't matter if it's dirty or tiring."

"I see, you wait for my news."

The matter of work finally came to fruition, and the tension in my heart relaxed a little.

In the afternoon, Qi Nuliang took his bicycle to pick up Jiang Yu after school on time.

After the beginning of winter, it is already very cold.After receiving the person, he took off the wool hat on his head and put it on Jiang Yu's head, and pulled down the brims on both sides to cover the child's two ears that were prone to frostbite.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Yu put his hands into the pockets of Qi Nuliang's clothes and hugged his waist. The cat was behind him, using the man's broad back to block the cold wind.

"I've been taking tutoring for two weeks, can you understand what the teacher is saying?"

"Ah."

"Don't worry, it's only the first semester of junior high school, there is still time, take your time."

"Ah."

"I see that when you go home every day, you either memorize or do your homework. How do you say that? A combination of work and rest, just studying hard may not be effective. How about waiting for you to finish your lessons this Saturday, and we will go hiking in the afternoon ?”

"I have to recite English on Saturday afternoon."

"What about Sunday?"

"Do your homework, too."

Jiang Yu tucked his fingers into Qi Nuliang's pocket, rummaging through the items in his pocket boredly, such as cigarette cases and lighters.

"Brother, I'm not tired of studying. I can understand the content of the fifth grade of elementary school in mathematics, and I can do the problems. Teacher Xie asked me to recite the text. I can slowly recite it. Don't worry."

"I'm not worried." He wondered if he was too anxious, "Xiao Yu, do I make you feel very stressed?"

After Jiang Yu shook his head, he realized that Qi Nuliang couldn't see, so he said again: "No. I will do well whatever you ask me to do."

After a while, Jiang Yu asked, "Brother, did you not go to work?"

Qi Nuliang's back stiffened, and he couldn't hide it anymore: "Well, I was fired." He immediately became active, "Liang Mazi has already promised to find me a higher salary, so you don't have to worry about these things."

"Ah."

Qi Nuliang also looked back at Jiang Yu while riding his bicycle, and asked in doubt, "How did you guess that?"

"It tastes different."

Jiang Yu was buried in Qi Nuliang's vest. The material of the leather jacket was blown cold by the cold wind, and only the close-fitting mouth and nose were exhaled by fresh air.The boy buried himself in him to breathe, and after a while the artificial skin that was pressed against him was soaked by the heat.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath: "When you were working in the supermarket, your smell was different from now."

Qi Nuliang is like a sponge. When he works in a supermarket, when he works in a restaurant, in summer and in winter, his body smells different, except for the consistent, astringent smell of tobacco.

"I see. What does it smell like when I work in the supermarket? Meaty smell?"

"No." Jiang Yu thought about it seriously, "I can't tell."

Qi Nuliang didn't bother with these, and accelerated the speed of pedaling the bicycle.

Liang Mazi is a philistine, but he is reliable in his work, and within a few days he found a job suitable for Qi Nuliang.

One is a delivery man in Hongcheng Furniture City.He can't drive, he is only responsible for handling.There is no requirement for academic qualifications and skills, pure manual work, a basic salary of [-], and the commission is calculated according to the number of pieces transported. According to the sales situation of the furniture city, it looks like it can earn more than [-] a month.

The other is also hard work with no technical requirements.The upsurge of urban development has spread from the urban area to the county seat, and a piece of land in the east of Hongcheng is also being developed, and there are shortages of various types of work required by the construction site.

After Liang Mazi's comprehensive consideration, Qi Nuliang couldn't do any of the work of the masters, and the daily salary of the handyman was only 60 yuan.And he happened to know a master scaffolder, and asked that master to take Qi Nuliang as an apprentice to the construction site and do odd jobs under him. Even if he is a small skilled worker, his daily salary can be one hundred.You can get 3000 yuan if you do it every day in January.

"Which one do you think you want to do?"

Qi Nuliang frowned, smoking fiercely: "Why don't you spend much time in the supermarket?"

Liang Mazi was so angry that his sparse beard trembled: "I told you earlier, the job in the supermarket is hard to find in Hongcheng, and you didn't catch it yourself, so who is to blame?"

Speaking of this, Qi Nuliang was even more angry: "I heard from Lao Wang that as soon as I left, the surnamed Sun arranged for his nephew to take my place."

"It's not human nature. You must be close to your family."

"The grandson deliberately found fault with me, and fired me just to make room for his nephew." Qi Nuliang pressed the cigarette butt on the ground hard.After knowing that this was the truth of his dismissal, he was really aggrieved.

Liang Mazi sighed, and gave Qi Nuliang a cigarette: "Tell me that there are so many people in the supermarket, why did he open you alone?"

Qi Nuliang turned his head to look at Mazi's ugly, crumpled, moon-like face.

"Sometimes you are really not good at being a human being. That is, I don't care about you for your sister's sake. If someone comes to my place to make trouble, I will introduce him to a ghost. Think about it, everyone else To please someone surnamed Sun, just because you fight against him every day, how can he like you? If you find a reason, who will you fire if you don't fire him?"

"I……"

Liang Mazi waved his hand: "Forget it, that's all over. It depends on which of these two jobs you want to do. If you want me to say, it's better to go to the construction site, but moving furniture is not easy, and the salary is still a thousand less. On the construction site, it's dirty. It's dangerous."

Qi Nuliang chose the construction site without too much consideration. The other things don't matter, the key is to look at the money.

"That's fine. But this is for Master Zhao to take you to talk to the contractor. I'll save a meal and treat him to a drink tomorrow night. Do you know how to drink?"

Qi Nuliang nodded.

"That's easy to say. Master Zhao usually likes to have a drink. If you enjoy drinking with him, maybe you will be accepted as an apprentice." Liang Mazi patted Qi Nuliang on the shoulder, "When you get to the construction site, you will always be on your body. They all pack their cigarettes, give Master Zhao a cigarette when they are resting, and occasionally treat him to a drink, and you can make a good relationship, and you will not suffer."

Qi Nuliang nodded.

"You know that their master's daily salary is more than 200, and this price increases every year. If you coax him to be willing to teach you, you will come out as a master in a few years, and you will also get the money. It will be to your benefit."

Qi Nuliang nodded again.

"By the way, Brother Liang, where is the construction site you mentioned?"

"To the east, go out to Dongmen Station for two or three miles."

Qi Nuliang at the East Gate Station knew that the place was in the opposite direction from the daily chemical factory, and to get there he had to go through the entire city.It was a bit too far to ride a bicycle, and the bus was even more unreliable. He set his sights on an old motorcycle that Liang Mazi always parked outside the shop.

Qi Nuliang rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed: "Well, brother Liang, it's not convenient for me to go here, can you lend me your motorcycle, I don't think you usually ride it much."

Liang Mazi was a little unbelievable that Qi Nuliang had the audacity to make such a request to him.

"I said you don't want to be too pushy. It's fine to help you with the work. You still miss my motorcycle."

"Help people to the end. I'll pay you back when I go to work for a few months to buy a car myself."

Liang Mazi remained motionless.

Qi Nuliang thought about what he just said about building a good relationship, so he quickly gave Liang Mazi a cigarette, and lit it for him not very skillfully.

"Brother Liang, you are a good person, please help me one last time... I will give you a monthly fee of 100 yuan. Anyway, it is useless for you to park here and take up a seat..."

"Okay, okay, if it doesn't look like... forget it, you can take it and ride it."

"Thank you Brother Liang."
