Fast through the cannon fodder of the mission to counterattack

Chapter 598 New and Old People 11
We got up early the next morning, and everyone was on the road.

Zhang Qi and the other three men thought about it all night, and came out arrogantly. Almost everyone in the town knew that they were going to come out.

It's too embarrassing to go back in despair after being robbed.

Even if you earn all the way, you can earn it all the way to Haicheng.

Everyone went to a small pier in the county town to buy a boat ticket, and if they could go to the next more prosperous place, they could buy a boat ticket directly to Haicheng at that place.

Zhang Qi took out all his wealth, bought tickets for everyone, and used all the rest to buy big cakes.

So he was penniless.

Everyone boarded the boat, the boat was not too big, several people sat in a row, Meng Li held the child in his arms, and performed the exercises in his body.

On the water, the boat was moving again, making people feel a little colder. Zhang Qi put his clothes on Guo Liujun, and Guo Liujun glanced at Meng Li, showing off secretly.

Meng Li ignored it.

What's there to brag about enjoying the attentions of another man's husband?

Everyone's expressions were not relaxed. At noon, when they arrived at the pier, several people went ashore, feeling very confused.

Meng Li said to Zhang Qi:

"The temporary porter is shouting over there, why don't you fight for an afternoon?"

Zhang Qi followed Meng Li's eyes and looked at a shirtless man with a towel on his shoulders, yelling.

Zhang Qi hesitated, and Bao Xingfa said bitterly:
"Why don't you ask?"

Guo Liujun remained silent, Zhang Qi said:
"Let's go."

Everyone moved towards the man, who looked at the three men in front of him and said:
"Looking for a job?"

Zhang Qi nodded. The man sized him up. He was not bad in size. He looked like a strong man. He said:

"Okay, you can do it anytime you want."

"How much is that?"

"It depends on how much you resist, and the boat stops there." The man pointed to a boat, and someone was carrying a large package of goods from it to this side.

discharge.

"How much is one piece?"

"How long have you been working, there are goods these days, and there is a shortage of manpower."

"how much is it?"

"Well, if you can do it for a few days, the price will be higher, so that I won't have to find someone else tomorrow."

"uncertain."

"Then count as a day."

"Just how much is it for one piece today?"

"Three pieces and one copper plate, is that interesting enough?"

Zhang Qi squinted his eyes and saw such a big item, and the three items that were unloaded were only a copper plate.

The man became impatient and said:
"Do you want to do it? If you don't do it, don't delay me to find someone else."

Bao Xingfa hurriedly said:

"Do it, do it."

"Three people, right?"

Zhang Qi nodded depressedly.

The three of them went to move things, Meng Li found a place to sit down, and practiced with the child in his arms.

At first Guo Liujun was reserved and reluctant to sit down, but in the end he seemed to be tired from standing, so he sat beside Meng Li.

It is not easy to earn this one copper coin, and it takes about seven or eight minutes to move a piece of goods back and forth, two or three copper coins an hour.

Now it takes about three hundred copper plates to exchange for one silver dollar.

Meng Li and Guo Liujun didn't speak to each other, they just waited.

Waiting and waiting, they did nearly four hours of work, and it was almost dark before they finished.

Watching them come out, Guo Liujun quickly stood up, and Meng Li followed.

Zhang Qi walked in the front, his cheeks were flushed, and he was out of breath. Guo Liujun quickly took out a handkerchief from his body and raised his hand. He wanted to wipe Zhang Qi's sweat. Meng Li gave a fake cough, and Guo Liujun pursed his lips. , and handed the handkerchief to Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi thanked him, and gently wiped the sweat off his face.

Guo Liujun said with some distress:
"Thanks for your hard work."

Zhang Qi shook his head:
"It's not hard."

They went to the man to settle the wages. The man counted the goods they moved, took out a handful of copper coins from his body, counted them, and said to Zhang Qi:
"Oh brother, there are still ten short, not enough, you come and get it tomorrow?"

Ten copper coins are equivalent to one person's work for an afternoon.

I don’t believe that it’s not enough, Zhang Qi fought with that person for a while, but he relied on himself as a local, and watched Zhang Qi’s non-locals get on the shore, and there were more than a dozen workers behind him to support him. Give.

You should leave in a hurry, you will definitely not be able to take the money tomorrow.

No matter how loud Zhang Qi and the others were, Guo Liujun raised his brows and said coldly, it was useless, so he could only swallow his breath and take some of it away.

Twenty copper coins is at least enough for them to find a place to sleep for one night, and they can also eat some cheap food by the way.

After working all afternoon, and the fact that my stomach hasn't had any oily water for two days, Guo Liujun thoughtfully suggested to eat some beef noodles.

It's a bit oily and meaty, and it's better than pancakes.

Sitting at a roadside stall under the dim light, Guo Liujun looked at Meng Li and said:
"When you just asked for money, you didn't say a word. You don't usually have such a sharp mouth. Did you not regard yourself as this group of people?"

It's really annoying for this kind of person, who doesn't come out to protect the interests he should have, but eats when he eats.

Meng Li said lightly:
"You make the most noise, speak the most truths, and have the loudest voice. The question is, do you want your money back?"

Guo Liujun choked and said:
"Look, my mouth is so strong now. Although I didn't ask for it, I took care of it, and I took it as my own business."

"Unlike you, you don't care about their labor. They work so hard to move things just to have a place to stay tonight, and you know how to enjoy it."

Guo Liujun fought against the injustice for the three men, causing a warm current in the hearts of the three men.

At the same time, I also feel that there is such a big difference between women and women.

It also made Zhang Qi feel a little disgusted with his wife for no reason.

Meng Li said:

"Didn't you realize that you only ordered four bowls of beef noodles?"

"Also, you don't have to worry about staying tonight." Meng Li said.

It's rare to be noisy.

Guo Liujun looked at Zhang Qi in a daze, and Zhang Qi whispered:

"Just now she said that she was not hungry and would not eat."

Regarding Meng Li's last sentence, everyone only thought that Meng Li's words were angry.

Guo Liujun snorted.

I want to say in my heart that I have a strong mouth now, and when I have the backbone, I will really find a place to live by myself.

Meng Li smiled. He drank a tube of nutrition before, no matter how bad he was, he could manage it for two days.

I really don't have any appetite right now.

And seeing that the beef noodles are not tasty, if you don't want to eat something, you have to force yourself to eat it, it's not a crime.

When the noodles came, there were five pieces of beef in Guo Liujun's noodles. Guo Liujun picked the biggest one for Zhang Qi, and the other two picked one piece and put it in their bowls.

Zhang Qi discovered this small detail, and his heart beat faster.

Guo Liujun kept saying that it was delicious and fragrant.

Deliberately gluttonous people.

Meng Li's expression didn't change, he felt that Guo Liujun was competing with her now.

The youngest daughter thought, Guo Liujun hoped that Zhang Qi would treat her like that, so naturally he would like to be special to Zhang Qi.

　Thank you anitahehui for the monthly ticket and everyone's recommended ticket.
