Chapter 8

The next day, just after dawn, Chen Mo opened his eyes early.

He glanced at the Casio electronic watch in his hand. This watch was a gift from Chen Yousen for his coming-of-age birthday when his family was in good condition.

The electronic display on the watch clearly showed 04:30. Chen Mo pinched his arm to dispel the remaining drowsiness with the help of pain. This was ruthless but effective.

When he got up, Chen Mo first glanced at Chen Youji who was on the opposite bed. She was sleeping soundly at this moment.

When Chen Mo arrived at the fish shop on a tricycle, Zhang Heng, the owner of the fish shop, was already waiting for him. He was also surprised to see Chen Mo coming so early: "Why did you come so early? I'll tell you five o'clock and you five o'clock." Come soon."

"Aren't I afraid of delaying things?" Chen Mo showed a simple and honest smile.

Zhang Heng looked very guilty, and hurried to the back to find some food to stuff for Chen Mo: "First, eat two pancakes to fill your stomach. My wife made them. Leek pancakes, they are delicious."

"Okay, thank you uncle." Chen Mo actually couldn't accept the taste of leeks, but he woke up too early and was really hungry, so he simply swallowed them without chewing.

When he arrived at the pier by bike, Chen Mo was stunned by the bustling scene. He didn't expect that at five o'clock in the morning, there were hundreds of people here, and cars of all sizes gathered here.

A group of people unloaded the bucket from the car, each holding a fishing net and shouting at the bucket, bargaining loudly, and quickly paid the money to fill the fish.

Zhang Heng, who brought Chen Mo here, quickly merged in and became one of them. Chen Mo didn't dare to lag behind, and hurriedly followed Zhang Heng to help, moving bucket after bucket of fish to the car, and then put the last box. Without a break, Zhang Heng beckoned him to the vegetable market.

"Ride quickly, you have to go back before 05:30, and the morning market will be delayed by 1 minute if you are late." Zhang Heng quickly said to Chen Mo. Passed in front of Chen Mo.

Facing the uphill in front of him, Chen Mo pressed his tongue and head against his cheeks, and rode up with all his strength.

Although it is said that the young man's body has strong resilience, Chen Mo had been busy all day yesterday. If it weren't for the buff accumulated by the fitness plan that halved the fatigue value, it would be impossible for him to wake up today without muscle soreness.

Therefore, when riding uphill, every time Chen Mo pedaled, he could feel the pain of his calf and back being pulled, which was uncomfortable, but he could only lower his head, straighten his back, and continue riding up in a muffled voice.

This is a silent but long tug-of-war. When Chen Mo chose this path, he knew that he would face this hurdle sooner or later.

The most strenuous part of physical work is when you have to face up to your own physical failure, you are powerless and can only grit your teeth and persevere.

It was a place where he couldn't hold it, so Chen Mo came down, one foot tensed, and the other forcefully pulled the tricycle uphill.

After finally getting up this slope, a pleasant prompt sounded in Chen Mo's ear: "The host's delivery mileage has reached 15 kilometers, and a gift of energy potion (small), please continue to work hard."

Chen Mo wiped his sweat. He learned to be smart when going downhill. He started to accumulate energy when there was still a little distance, and then he kicked twice to reach more than half of the uphill distance, and then got down to pull the tricycle up.

A series of movements, skillful and filled with sadness. While using the fitness plan to restore his energy, Chen Mo was still in the mood and sighed in his heart: "People adapt very quickly. Yesterday, I thought it was too much to do this." I’m tired, but I’ve become proficient today.”

After climbing several big slopes and the road behind was smooth, Chen Mo could finally recover his strength while riding on the tricycle while taking advantage of the gap.

When he arrived at the market, Zhang Heng looked at him with some disgust: "What's going on, so slow?"

"It's the first time I've carried such a heavy thing. I'm sorry." Chen Mo apologized obediently, but he was right. The fish was placed in the bucket and the weight of the water had to be counted. It was the heaviest thing Chen Mo had loaded recently. The goods are ready, the price he asked Zhang Heng for is indeed very little, and Chen Mo's arrival is actually not too late.

After Zhang Heng finished unloading the goods, Chen Mo went back to load the second car. With the existence of the map and Chen Mo's good memory, he quickly finished loading the second car and came back. This time he was proficient at how to store energy After going uphill, the speed was 5 minutes faster than the first time, and Zhang Heng was also a little satisfied.

With Chen Mo here, he can split his hands to help his wife sell fish together, and the couple will work together. If there are more fish, he will not make less money. He is very satisfied with Chen Mo.

Although he looks a little younger for his age, but fortunately he works hard, is honest, and has good eyesight. He is getting less help from others.

"Come on, here's the money, 40 yuan for two cars. Will you come tomorrow? I need someone to deliver the goods with me, and my wife can't do this heavy work." Zhang Heng asked him.

"Come on, will it still be this time tomorrow morning?"

"Well, if you can ride, I will also hand over my car to you, and I will accompany you to see the fish."

Chen Mo shook his head embarrassingly: "I just started this job, and it's the limit to transport two trucks in one go. I'm afraid it will delay my uncle's work."

Seeing what he said, Zhang Heng had a better impression of him: "Okay, then come to me tomorrow morning."

After 40 yuan, Chen Mo took a deep breath. He pedaled three times hard this early in the morning, and finally made 40 yuan.

He has already looked at the time when he came to this world, and the current time is equivalent to 40. His purchasing power of [-] yuan is still very strong.

Seeing Zhang Heng busy selling fish with his wife in the morning market, Chen Mo rode a tricycle back, and occasionally passers-by looked at Chen Mo who was too young with curious eyes, but he didn't take it seriously.

Since he was going to work, he had to be seen. Chen Mo's mother said that he was shamed, and Chen Mo didn't think he should be ashamed as a young man.

Earn money to eat, work with your hands, don't be ashamed.

Now it’s not as rushed as before. Chen Mo is still thinking about her sister Chen Youji who didn’t wake up at home. Her parents who took care of the hospital during the day fell asleep when they came back tired. Now it’s only six o’clock after busy work. Chen Mo thinks She shouldn't have woken up.

Looking up, there is a steaming breakfast stand next to the morning market. The owner's wife at the breakfast stand is greeting customers: "What buns do you want to eat? My meat buns have just been steamed in a basket."

"How much is this bean paste bun and meat bun?" Chen Mo asked.

"Red bean paste buns cost [-] cents, meat buns cost [-] cents, a bowl next to the pot costs [-] cents, fried dough sticks cost [-] cents each, brother, what do you want to eat?"

 Looking at the five book friends who voted for recommendation, I will not mention their names one by one, thank you.The motivation for me to write down comes from you.
