Chapter 36 Embarrassment
Wu Zhongyuan was worried about money for the first time in his life. Although he was poor before, he was not in embarrassment. Now he was not only in embarrassment, but at the end of his rope and had no other options.
There are no quiet years, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for you. Wu Zhongyuan understood this sentence deeply at this time. The reason why he didn't worry about money before was because Lin Qingming was taking care of him.
Now the person who took care of him needed him to take care of him, but he couldn't provide the money. Many negative emotions flooded his heart, making him feel depressed and helpless.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Huang Ping called. Wu Zhongyuan only said that he was busy outside and might not go back in the next few days.
It was very cold in winter, and even colder at night. Wu Zhongyuan had nowhere to go, so he could only wander around aimlessly. Finally, he stopped at a cultural square. This was a semi-open-air square, with the upper part partially covered and the lower part spread. There are some square pillars with posters about urban culture on all sides, and lights inside the pillars.
There is a long chair next to each square pillar, and he sits here.
First I sat, then I lay down, then I fell asleep, and finally I woke up from the cold.
The feeling of being woken up by the cold is not good, it is very uncomfortable. Fortunately, he knows Qigong, which can promote qi and blood circulation, so he will not catch a cold.
It was too cold to stay in the open air. I looked around and found an ATM withdrawal room of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China not far away. I walked over and found that it was quite warm inside. I sat in the corner and felt lost again.
When I woke up again at around eight o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by the bank security guard, "Little brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Zhongyuan stood up hurriedly.
"Are you really okay?" the security guard asked.
"It's really okay, thank you." Wu Zhongyuan left the cash room under the watchful eyes of security guards.
The warmth of the cash withdrawal room and the kind attitude of the security guard made him look back after leaving and feel inexplicably warm when he saw the words "ICBC".
It was hard to find a job, and it was even harder to find a short-term job. I kept going until noon, but it was still in vain. I had lunch at a ramen restaurant southwest of an intersection. I spent 15 yuan on a bowl of ramen, and I only had 10 yuan left. .
Seeing that the hope of finding a job was getting slimmer, Wu Zhongyuan took out his cell phone in desperation, looked through the contacts in it one by one, and wanted to call Dean Wang, but after thinking about it, he didn't.
I wanted to call Wan Shanhai, but after thinking about it, I didn’t make a call.
He still had Zhao Ying's phone number in his cell phone. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't call.
The search in the afternoon was still in vain, and soon, night fell again.
It is easy for people to go astray when they are desperate, and Wu Zhongyuan went astray. A day's wandering made him very tired, and he could no longer walk. When he saw an unlocked bicycle on the side of the road, he hesitated and rode away.
The bike was very worn out and the rear tire was under-inflated, so it wasn't a brisk ride, but it was better than walking.
The ancients said that people can know etiquette if they have enough food and clothing, and they can know honor and disgrace if they have enough food and clothing. This saying has roughly the same meaning as the current material basis determines the superstructure. When people are destitute to a certain extent, their moral standards will be lowered, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception. He has always He thought he was a good person, but now he began to doubt this, because he found that he only wanted to make money now, and his mind was filled with how to make money, and he didn't care whether it was illegal or not.
There are many cars in the city, and most of them are parked on the roadside at night. Some car owners will put their bags in the car, and there may be money in the bag.
Wu Zhongyuan began to look for the target,
His biggest fear is surveillance, and he has to choose cars that are not within the scope of surveillance.
At 11:50 pm, we passed by a North-South Road. There were several buildings on the west side of the road and several cars parked there.
Just when he wanted to go in and take a look, there was a sudden sound of glass breaking inside. Before he could react, a young man in black clothes ran out, crossed the road, and ran eastward.
Soon, a woman in her thirties ran down in her pajamas and shouted, "Give me the bag quickly. There is no money in it. It is my contract."
After the woman ran out, she saw Wu Zhongyuan on the side of the road, and hurriedly came over to ask where the man had gone.
Wu Zhongyuan pointed out the direction.
The woman ran a few steps and remembered that Wu Zhongyuan was riding a bicycle, so she came over to borrow it from him.
Wu Zhongyuan gave her the bicycle and walked south with a wry smile. He originally wanted to do bad things, but ended up helping others.
In the middle of the night, Wu Zhongyuan saw several villas in the distance. He walked over and walked around one of them. Judging from the things placed on the window, the owner of this villa was very rich, and the owner was not there. at home
This villa has three floors, which is no obstacle to him. After borrowing strength from the corner wall twice, he climbed onto the third floor balcony by climbing on the window sill.
The door from the balcony to the house was open, but Wu Zhongyuan did not go in. When things came to pass, he was afraid. He was not afraid of being caught. What he was afraid of was denying himself. Once he entered, he would become a thief, even if others didn't know. I know it too.
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan finally stopped and jumped off the balcony. It was true that he was in urgent need of money, but he couldn't break the law, and he couldn't let himself become a bad person. Face yourself.
It was very uncomfortable to stay up all night. In addition to feeling cold on my body, my brain was confused, my reactions were slow, and I was in a daze.
There is a saying that there is no perfect road, and this is true. When he wandered to the outskirts of the city, Wu Zhongyuan found an apple forest outside the village in the distance. At this time, the leaves of the fruit trees had fallen off, and the branches could be seen in the distance. There are some small apples hanging on the head.
I walked over, picked a few, and put them in my pocket. When I came out, I found a row of houses on the side of the road. There was a sign in front of the door, "We want stevedores, and the wages will be cleared every day." ’
There are no barriers to entry for this job. Anyone can do it. The boss is not picky and will accept anyone who can do the job.
The first job was to unload the wine. Four people worked for two hours, and each person was divided into 40 yuan.
Then came the loading of the truck. The broken nylon bags purchased from the recycling station, a bundle of one hundred, were filled with four people in the front and eight in the back. It was still four people, and it still took two hours. Each person shared sixty yuan. The reason why it was more Partly, it’s because the work is dirty and the nylon bags are dusty.
Just after returning to the loading and unloading station, there was another job, moving ten tons of white ash. The other party asked for two people and offered two hundred yuan. No one went, so Wu Zhongyuan went by himself.
It was very simple. I unloaded it from the car and moved it to the warehouse to help people stack it. It took three hours to load ten tons.
After finishing it, he realized why no one wanted to do this job anymore. It was because he would sweat during loading and unloading, and white ash was poisonous and would heat up when exposed to water. All parts that came into contact with white ash would be burned and cause small blisters.
There was accommodation at the loading and unloading station. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had no place to live, the boss let him live at the loading and unloading station. At around ten o'clock that night, there was work again. A large truck transporting sand got stuck in a pit on the side of the road. Before the crane could lift it, , need to manually remove the sand from the car.
Three people worked for three hours, and each person got eighty.
Early the next morning, the boss woke Wu Zhongyuan and said, "You are wasting your time doing odd jobs. Get up and follow me to the port. There is a lot of money there."
Only then did Wu Zhongyuan learn that the loading and unloading station was divided into two groups, one group did odd jobs and did everything, and the other group was strong, led by the boss's son, who went to the port to load and unload fertilizers. The latter group was more tiring, but Make more money.
Go to the port and familiarize yourself with the work process. Fertilizer is provided by the state to foreign countries. It is brought by train, unloaded manually and bundled in nylon bags. It is then forklifted to the port, and then lifted into the cabin by a crane. Workers are then responsible for entering the cabin and loading it. Fertilizers are neatly coded.
There are more than twenty wagons in a train, and each wagon carries 60 tons. There are 2,400 bags of fertilizer in total. If three people work together, each person gets 180. In fact, it should be 200, but the boss takes a commission.
Enter the cabin, and then code the fertilizers hoisted in by the crane, and each person will get another hundred and eighty.
Because he was rushing to ship the ship a year ago, he worked three shifts, and other workers worked one shift every day. He knew Qigong, had strong strength and good endurance, and was able to work two shifts. He paid the bills every day and earned 720 a day.
Wu Zhongyuan became famous in three days, and everyone wanted to be with him. Wu Zhongyuan chose a Xian named Jin and a young man named Yang to be his partners. The guy named Jin was a Xian who had gone bankrupt in investment and was almost fifty. , not very physically strong and always sweating. Wu Zhongyuan chose him because this guy always brought delicious kimchi every day. The young man named Yang was chosen because his name was Yang Wei. No matter he was called Yang Wei or Viagra, he looked unhappy, which made Wu Zhongyuan feel very interesting.
In three days at most, Wu Zhongyuan will return to the hospital. He will take a shower and change clothes before going back. Lin Qingming's mental state is okay, and Huang Ping is in a good mood, which makes him very happy.
The two of them had no choice but to ask Wu Zhongyuan what he was doing. He would answer that he was working on the boat and would not give any specific details. He did not want to tell Lin Qingming how tired he was, just like Lin Qingming never told him how dangerous the mine was.
Every time he comes back, Wu Zhongyuan will deposit money into the hospital deposit. The hospital settlement is settled when he is discharged. But they can see the increase in the deposit amount and know that the patient's family has been raising money, so they never rush Lin Qingming and Huang Ping. Pay additional deposit.
Wang Xinran did not stay in the hospital and did not know where he went, but one thing Wu Zhongyuan knew was that although he did not know where Wang Xinran was, Wang Xinran knew where he was.
Facts proved that he was right. At dusk on the ninth day, Wang Xinran appeared at the port.
Wu Zhongyuan was unloading the truck, and she did not come to disturb him. She just watched quietly from a distance. It was not until Wu Zhongyuan finished his work that she waved to him.
Wu Zhongyuan walked over and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wang Xinran didn't answer, just stared at Wu Zhongyuan, as if it was the first day she met him.
"What's the matter?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"The translation result of the piece of paper you gave me came out..."
