"Uncle Yaohua, what's the matter?"

Nan Yi was chewing a roasted lamb egg when the school beauty handed him the phone.

"Nanyi, something happened to an acquaintance of mine in Xiangguan. Please arrange for someone to help."

"How big of a deal is it?"

"Actually, it's nothing. This acquaintance of mine swam over and worked on a construction site for three months. On the day when wages were due, the uniformed police went to arrest him. As a result, the wages were not paid, and now he has no money to eat.

"

"Oh, I just want money, Uncle Yaohua, does the other party have a phone number that I can call?"

"Yes, leave me a public phone number. I don't know if I can get through." Xian Yaohua said.

"Then you call him now. If you can reach Temple Street in two hours, just ask him to come over now. Take a taxi and I will pay for the taxi."

"Nanyi, are you at Xiangguan?"

"Yes, I have something to do. I will stay for two days and then leave."

"Okay, I'll call now."

"Well, let's do this first."

Nan Yi hung up the phone, and Nan Ruobing handed him two skewers of roasted pig eyes, "Dad, try it. This is delicious. Once you bite it, the eyeballs will pop out and bounce in your mouth."

"You did it on purpose, right? Instead of ordering the normal ones, you just ordered roasted lamb eggs, lamb kidneys, and roasted pig's eyes. What other weird things did you order?" Nan Yi took the roasted pig's eye and stuffed it.

He put two pills in his mouth, chewed them and said.

"I also ordered roasted pig brains and roasted silkworm chrysalises. Dad, there are pig tails here, do you want to order them?"

"You can order whatever you want, but pig tails are as delicious as yours. Come over here and let dad take a few bites and see if you want to add some chili pepper."

Nan Yi opened his mouth full of condiments and rushed towards Nan Ruobing pretending to be scary.

Nan Ruobing put her little hand on Nan Yi's chin, giggling. The father and daughter were having fun while eating. The two of them didn't eat very fast. Xian Yaorong just called again and said

His acquaintance had already come over to Temple Street.

After the barbecue was finished, Nan Yi ordered two more double-skinned milks. When the desserts were delivered, a middle-aged man came to their table cautiously.

"Nanyi?"

"I am, are you Uncle Tugen?" Nan Yi stood up from his seat and asked.

"Yes, yes, I am Huang Tugen. Yaohua asked me to come here." Huang Tugen nodded hurriedly and said.

As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the leftovers on the table.

Nan Yi saw this and looked at Huang Tugen's face carefully. His face was covered with sweat and his cheeks were flushed. He must have run over. His eye sockets were sunken, showing a bit of food. He probably hadn't eaten a few meals.

"Uncle Tugen, the Jidi porridge next door tastes very good. I was about to order a few bowls to eat. You haven't eaten yet, so let's come together."

"No, no, no, I've eaten it." Huang Tugen swallowed and said politely.

"Eat some more after you've eaten. It's so ugly for you to look at us while we eat." Nan Yi said, calling the guy from the barbecue restaurant over and asking him to go next door and order six bowls of Jidi porridge. By the way,

Give me a few more bottles of beer.

After a while, the waiter came over with a few bottles of San Miguel beer. They were chilled and the temperature was just right.

Nan Yi didn't use a bottle opener. He held the bottle cap with three fingers and lifted it up. He picked up the upside-down glass cup on the table and poured a cup for Huangtugen. "First drink a cup to moisten it."

voice."

Huang Tugen looked at the light yellow and chilly beer in the cup and couldn't help but gulped again. He looked up at Nan Yi, then hurriedly picked up the glass and drank it all into his stomach.

Nan Yi added wine to him again, then took a new cup and poured himself a cup too.

"Uncle Tugen, how many people are working with you on the construction site?"

"Six of us, we came here together."

"Where do you live now?"

"In a dilapidated house over there in Sham Shui Po."

"In addition to farming, have you done any other work in your hometown?" Nan Yi asked.

"I know some carpentry work, and I have also worked as a mason. I have built bridges before."

"What kind of bridge? Stone bridge? Reinforced concrete bridge? Or steel structure?"

"Stone Arch Bridge."

"Oh, Uncle Tugen studied?"

"Educated in elementary school for three years."

"Uncle Tugen, judging from your accent, you should be from Luzhou, right?"

"Oura's."

"Oh, now Yangcheng and Shenzhen are actually pretty good, so why are you still going to Xiangguan?"

"I just gave birth to a third child at the beginning of this year."

"Been fined?"

"Quite a few." Huang Tugen said calmly.

"Oh, let's talk about the situation of working at the construction site. Why is it such a coincidence that on the day when you are due to pay your wages, uniformed policemen come to check on you?"

"We were introduced by someone who came with us. The boss of the construction site was very kind. He would make soup for us when we eat, but he was not happy to pay us wages. Originally, we were supposed to pay them once a month, but he

After procrastinating again and again, I finally said that I would pay the money on the day of completion, but the result..."

Nan Yi understood as soon as he heard this, how could such a coincidence happen? This was obviously a bureau, and the contractor at the construction site made it clear that he did not want to pay the wages.

"What's the name of the boss of the construction site?"

"Ye Chengcai."

"Where is the construction site?"

"Next to Diamond Hill, at Po Kong Village."

"Village house?"

"It's a village house. Five or six buildings were built together. When we went there, the frame was already ready. We mainly did the interior decoration."

"Well, how many days did Ye Chengcai promise to give you?"

"I'm considered a master, and I'll be paid 80 yuan. The others are considered laborers, and they'll be paid 45 yuan a day."

"Then others will get 5,000 for three months, and you will get 8,000. The total is 33,000. I will be responsible for getting your wages back for you, and I will charge you 3,000 as a benefit fee."

As Nan Yi spoke, he took out a stack of 500 Hong Kong dollars from his pocket, counted out 60 of them, and placed them on the table closest to Huang Tugen, "I'll give you the money, and I'll take care of the rest."

Huang Tugen looked at the money on the table, then at Nan Yi, and then looked down at the money. After hesitating for a while, he still pushed the money towards Nan Yi, "I can't take this money. It's our wages."

I’m definitely not coming back, so just lend me 2,000 yuan first. After we have food, we can go out and find a job, and I’ll pay you back as soon as the salary is paid.”

Huang Tugen had not studied for a few years, but he still understood the calculation of wages. The total wages of the six of them were only about 27,000 yuan. Nanyi across the street said they were charging them 3,000 yuan as a benefit fee, but in fact they paid 3,000 yuan in advance.

, obviously pitying Xian Yaorong for his sake.

"Uncle Tugen, just take it. Just because you can't get your wages, it doesn't mean I can't get it. Don't worry, I will definitely not lose money. I will go find the Ye Chengcai you mentioned. Not only will you get your wages, but I will

If he can get it, he will even pay for my errand fees."

"Can you really get it?"

"Really, I still have some energy in Xiangguan, so there is no problem with such small things. Eat, don't talk anymore, the porridge is here, let's drink porridge."

As Nan Yi was talking, he happened to see the waiter from the next store coming over with a tray. There were several bowls of Jidi porridge on the tray. He stopped talking and helped the waiter to take out the porridge bowls. He first held one bowl and placed it next to the loess root.

superior.

"Uncle Tugen, first of all, you probably haven't eaten for several times. Drink something thin to cushion your stomach first, otherwise it will hurt your stomach."

Nan Yi's words can only be said now, not when the order was placed. Saying it at that time would hurt Huang Tugen's self-esteem, but it will be different now. The two have already talked, and mentally

I am no longer so wary and people are not so alienated.

Nan Yi was once hungry. He didn't eat for three and a half days, so he went to the public toilet to drink some water to satisfy his hunger. However, he didn't want to accept charity from others. He would rather go to the trash can to find something to eat when he couldn't bear it.

of.

The first egg tart he ate came from the trash can.

From Nan Yi's point of view, there is nothing wrong with using tricks and doing despicable things in business. Shopping malls are inherently places where people can eat people, and there are no good people who can survive.

But no matter what, you should still have a certain bottom line. You can't bully poor people, and you can't deny others money to survive.
