Chapter 119 Hengming Middle School
“The labor market, also called the labor market, is a place similar to the vegetable market.”
As if he was afraid that Gu Mian would not understand, the fat man explained: “But it is not the same as the vegetable market. The difference is that what is sold in the vegetable market is vegetables, while what is sold in the labor market is people.”
“Don’t mistake it. Yes, this is not illegal human trafficking, it is selling one's strength."
"There is no discipline in this place. To put it simply, a large group of people gather there, waiting for those who need labor to pick people; if there is a need, If buyers are looking for people to work, they will drive to the labor market, mostly in broken-down vans"
“The people who go there to find jobs are all very dirty and tiring jobs. Some of them are very dangerous and unstable. They basically only work for a day, but the wages are high.”
“The labor market is full of monks and short of meat. People waiting to be picked gathered in groups There, when they saw a car approaching, they buzzed around it. Some even squeezed in without asking what they were doing, for fear of being robbed of their lives."
I didn't care that the fat man used it wrong again. After hearing an idiom, Gu Mian continued to listen.
“Because in the labor market, once the time has passed, there are very few people looking for people to work, so the people waiting for work there squeeze up when they see the car, and there are often the first ones. The buyer who went to buy people for the first time was frightened”
“The advantage of finding a job in the labor market is that the salary is paid daily and the money is abundant”
"The disadvantage is that you can't work for a long time, because the work there is too damn tiring. You work from morning to night, with no stops except for eating. First, because there are people watching you work. If you want to stop and take a rest, He couldn't help but curse when he took a break. Secondly, the work was so tiring that he had to hold his breath. If he took a break in the middle, he would be paralyzed and he would never be tired again. I want to move."
"If I look for work there for a long time, I estimate that I will be exhausted in a few months."
When the fat man said this, he coughed: "Don't ask Why do I know so clearly? "
Because you did it there - Gu Mian figured it out without even guessing.
The phone in his hand was still making sounds.
However, the conversation didn't seem to be between Zhao Guanhai and Brother Li. The person talking to Zhao Guanhai was changed. It didn't sound like they were talking on a mobile phone.
The first person to speak was a rough and arrogant voice, which sounded young: "Brother Zhao, I have seen you here for several days, can you bear it?"
Zhao Guanhai's voice came next: "You can bear it, you can bear it, I'm not even forty yet, I'm still young."
"Come on, you're a skinny and weak guy, I'll believe you even if you say fifty; But Brother Zhao, I really didn’t expect you to come out and endure such hardship. You know, when I was in high school, I saw you sitting in front of the supermarket and drinking like crazy. At that time, I thought that if I met you in the future, I would have to stay away from you. No Thinking of this, we have become colleagues. Although we have only been colleagues for a few times, it is still fate."
"Oh, that is all in the past, so don't mention it."
"Haha, by the way, Brother Zhao, I still remember your son, the young boy who tried to pull you in front of the supermarket. What grade is he in now?"
"Junior high school, I am in my third year of junior high school and will take the high school entrance examination soon. I have to make more money to save for tuition and living expenses.”
“Then does your son know that you are doing this kind of work?”
Zhao Guanhai was silent for a while, and then said dullly: "Of course I don't know, that boy has never looked down on me. If he knew that his father could only find hard work in the labor market, he would not laugh. Big teeth...I let him live in school just because I was afraid that he would know about it."
"I heard that your relationship seems to be quite tense." The young voice hesitated.
"There's nothing to hide. The relationship between my son and I is really not good. Blame me. Blame me for not taking good care of him when he was young. I only know how to drink. After drinking, I stretch my legs and don't care about anything else. My son When I was a kid... it was really hard." "But Brother Zhao, now. Now that you have reformed, you see that you are working so hard to make money, isn’t it all for him? If you go back and explain to your boy, I think he will understand.”
Zhao Guanhai seemed to hesitate for a while.
“Wait a minute, I know there are many people in school who look down on my son. The last fight was because of this... When I save enough money and no longer have to find a job here, I will follow him. Said: You also know that we who come to work here are afraid of being seen or meeting acquaintances. If my son I know...I'm afraid he won't be able to hold his head up even more in school."
"Oh, it's not easy for you. By the way, Brother Zhao, a foreman came to me and told me that he had work to do tomorrow. Let me find a few people to go. I think it’s quite easy and the day’s salary is not low. Will you go?”
"What kind of job?"
"There seems to be a place building roads and looking for cement mixers. If a truck comes over to help unload the cement bags, it will cost 300 a day. This job is quite easy. You can't do much in a day. It’s a truck, and you still have time to rest. It’s much easier than the usual work of unloading cargo and resisting iron pillars.”
“This job is really good,” came Zhao Guanhai’s voice. : "I really can't eat much these days. It's a little easier to do this. I can rest and have more money. Thank you."
"Why are you so polite? When your son becomes successful in the future, you Just treat me to a good meal."
Zhao Guanhai chuckled and said in a relaxed tone: "By the way, where will you live tomorrow?"
"I haven't read it yet, let's take a look first..."
"The intersection of Songjiang Road and Anchang Road..."
"...Hengming Middle School"
Young His voice was intermittent and seemed to be very hesitant.
Then both sides fell into an eerie silence.
But Zhao Guanhai's voice came out immediately: "Hengming Middle School, my son goes to school there, so I'd better not go, I won't go if I don't go..."
"Think about it again, You have been tired for so many days and can no longer do heavy work. I know you are not willing to take a rest. Finally, there is a lighter job here, and the salary is high. You can also rest while doing this. Don’t listen to this. The place won’t go anymore "
Zhao Guanhai refused simply: "No, my son goes to school there, what if he encounters him?"
"You may not encounter him, so you should cover him more tightly. , your son won’t recognize me even if he sees me.”
Zhao Guanhai was silent for a while: “Actually, I’m not just afraid of being seen by my son, there are teachers and students in their school who recognize me...”
"Anyway, I've humiliated a lot of people before, and I'm used to being embarrassed. It's nothing if they see me... I'm just afraid that they will laugh at my son again after they see it. I can afford to humiliate this person, but I'm afraid that my boy won't be able to lift him up." Let’s get started, let’s forget it, let’s forget it...”
“Well, what are you going to do? I’ll pick you up at the labor market tomorrow. That backbreaking work?”
“I’ll take a look tomorrow to see which construction site still has people unloading or carrying goods.”
