Chapter 1199

"Okay, you get the green card and the gray card, then go to the back and look for No. [-], that guy with the big face and messy beard, go apply for him like that... the next one."

"How old are you?"

"I 36..."

"I said uncle, like this beard and hair are all gray, still 36? I'm not blind, hurry up and tell the truth, how old is it?"

"I, I'm 43, okay, I'm 53, but I have strength."

"... What else do you do besides farming?"

"When the little old man was young, he used to be an apprentice in a workshop in the city. He was a businessman..."

"That means you know how to settle accounts, right? Alright, a green card, a round card, you go to No. 34 to apply for a job, hurry up, the next one..."

"Hey, thank you young master, thank you young master... Thank you very much, little old man..." This 50-year-old man was still full of anxiety at first, but he never expected that the other party actually gave him a brand. Really, The old man almost had tears falling out of his eyes...

Waiting for the old Wangtou in position 34 to rush back to the place where he lives at a pace that is several times faster than the pace he hesitated just now.

"Father, you, where did you get the money from?!" The son, who was sitting on the couch and bandaged because of a broken bone, watched his father tearfully take out the already empty bag from his arms. The deflated money bag was bulging at the moment, and when nearly a hundred copper coins were shaken out of it, he was immediately stunned.

The whole family also gathered around, but his daughter-in-law cried out in surprise. "Eunuch, did you get hired by Wanhong Trading Company?"

"That's right, I was recruited by Wanhong Trading Co., Ltd., and I'm the No. [-] warehouse bookkeeper. This is the advance payment, a day's wages, one hundred yuan."

One hundred yuan, in the past, might not be considered a big deal in their family. At that time, although they were tenants for wealthy households, after a year of hard work, it was not a problem to have two or three consistent savings. But now, the family has been destroyed. destroyed.

Even the family of the rich family did not know where they were washed away by the flood, and they, who originally did not have their own fields, naturally became rootless duckweed.

However, the son who was originally a reliable family, accidentally broke his leg when he went to work in the city a few days ago.Although the boss found a doctor, connected his son's leg, and lost some money.

However, with the usual money lost, could it still survive the winter and guarantee the basic necessities of the family?
Now, Old Man Wang was extremely grateful that he had gone to the city and seen the world. He had worked as a shop assistant in a shop for several years. Although he was not fluent in writing, he could at least calculate accounts.

Just relying on this, he directly got a salary of [-] yuan a day, and the important thing is that this salary is still settled every day.

"Tomorrow, the old man will go to work. I heard from the manager of the Wanhong Trading Company that the warehouse is about two or three miles away from the army camp where we live. It takes less than two quarters of an hour to walk there. It's the kind of ordinary concrete road..."

"At noon, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back in time. Can I go and bring you something to eat?" Mrs. Chen, the old lady with gray hair, glanced at her son and said hesitantly.

"No need, the manager of the Wanhong Trading Company has already said hello, there are three meals a day, and there is meat for each meal..." At this moment, the old man Wang who was originally full of wrinkles was full of melancholy and confusion. His face was flushed, and his voice became more and more powerful.

Hearing that there was meat, several people in the room swallowed their dry throats in unison.

"No, it can't be a joke, right?" Old man Wang's son tried to sit up and said in disbelief.

"Just kidding, brat, that's the famous Wanhong Trading Company, will they be joking? By the way, I saw the old lady of the Fan family apply for the job too."

"Is that Mrs. Fan whose son and grandson drowned, leaving only his daughter-in-law and two granddaughters?" Wang Chen couldn't help but be taken aback.

"That's right, they have also recruited her to do mending work. In addition to the basic salary of [-] Wen per day, there is also a piece-rate wage. After mending more than [-] pieces a day, one more piece will be added." Give me two pennies..."

"So many?" Not to mention Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen, even Mr. Wang's wife's eyes are astonishingly bright at the moment.

"That's not true, and they also specially asked some people to go to those families whose strong laborers were gone, or the strong laborers were injured and unable to do work. Let the elderly or children of their families go to work, and the salary is also the same. Eighty copper coins. No discount..."

Mrs. Wang Chen glanced at the red-eyed old man Wang, turned her head, and looked at her son, whose gloominess gradually dissipated, but was still haggard. Words come in many days.

"God damn it, god damn it. My son, you worked so hard for that bastard boss, you couldn't get fifty cash a day, and you broke your leg..."

"Okay, okay, why should you be happy? You old woman insists on ruining the family's happiness at this time. Dear grandson, you have to listen to your mother and grandma carefully, and wait for grandpa to come down tomorrow. When Ban comes back, I will bring you some meat to eat..."

Looking at these two good grandchildren who were swallowing their saliva and poking their heads like chickens pecking at rice, old man Wang couldn't help laughing. It seemed that the dark and confused future suddenly became bright again.

At this moment, Wang Yang was wearing casual clothes and wandered to the gate of the Ministry of Works. However, after seeing Wang Yang's appearance clearly, an old policeman guarding the gate of the Ministry of Works stepped back as if he had seen a ghost. He stepped forward, then quickly grabbed another guard and gave two instructions before coming forward to salute with a careful smile on his face.

"You know me?" Wang Yang couldn't help grinning and asked curiously as he watched the other guard rushing towards the yamen, even one of his shoes flew off.

"It seems that my lord, you are really a noble person who forgets things. When you came to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, you were received by the young man." When the old guard said this, he couldn't help but think back to the year when this high-spirited official Wang was in the concierge The scene of violently beating the Hubu doctor inside, tsk tsk tsk, as bloody as it is said.

Little old man, I have also stayed in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry for many years, but this is the first time I have seen officials fight so hard and attack so blackly.

"Oh, it turned out to be an old acquaintance. Just in time, I want to see the Minister of your Ministry of Industry, do you want to wait here?" Wang Yang pointed to the doorman next to him familiarly, and was about to walk over.

The guard was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped the aggressive old driver. "No, that's where nobles like you stay. I'd rather invite you to come here for a while..."

"Isn't this bad? I am also an official, and they are also officials. Why do they have so many people crowded in the concierge, while I am alone in a room? This is very disconnected from the masses..."
