At the bottom of the coal well, the coal mining continued.

The bottom of the mine is humid, not breathable, and has a rotten smell.

The basket was pulled and slowly delivered down.

Su Ming sat upright in the basket, holding the rope tremblingly. The darker the more he went underground, the darker it became. His heart was slightly frightened, and the rope was constantly sliding down.

After a while, the basket stopped.

Arrive at the bottom of the mine.

Su Ming lit the oil lamp and looked around with the dim light. The bottom of the mine was very narrow.

It smells strange around it, which may be the smell of coal mines or gas.

After getting off the basket, Su Ming stood up, took out the iron pickaxe from the basket and began to hit the surrounding walls.

The iron pickaxe has a long wooden handle and an iron head. It is a T-shaped whole and looks like a pickaxe. One end is pointed and the other end is flat shovel.

Su Ming waved the iron pickaxe and knocked on the wall of the coal well. Soon the coal mines fell off one by one. He stepped forward and held it, smelled the smell of coal. It was good coal, and then kept knocking, and the coal blocks kept falling and finally put them in the basket.

Keep knocking and shouting.

It seemed to be heard above, and directly pulled the coal mine up with a pulley.

There is a special person responsible and directly pull the coal mine out.

Another basket was sent down, and Su Ming continued to knock on it, the coals fell off, and then picked it up into the basket.

The basket was pulled up.

Just repeat it simply, without skills or too many skills. You keep working repeatedly, having lunch for half an hour and continuing to work.

It was not until it was dark and I worked for twelve hours before I was pulled up.

When I pulled it out, I was dark all over, as if I had turned black.

I directly selected and gave five copper coins.

Put it in his pocket, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

The factory owners here are still good. They will not pay their wages every fifteen months, and they will pay their wages every day. They will not calculate piece wages, performing wages, and there will not be a final elimination system. In the simple era, there will be a majority of kind people.

Five copper coins in your pocket.

"Amin, let's wash it off!"

"Okay! Let's go, fat man!"

When we arrived at the nearby river, a group of coal miners were taking a bath. As the cold water was paved, the black coal ash scattered, and the body of a black man gradually bloomed with a hint of whiteness.

I took a cold shower and felt unspeakable.

Wait... This is a cold shower.

Su Ming suddenly thought of something.

In his previous life, he never took a cold shower. What if he caught a cold!

After taking a cold shower, put on my clothes, I felt indescribable to feel comfortable all over, and then I held the five copper coins in my pocket and kept touching them up and down.

The copper coins are seven-quarter copper and three-quarter tin. The front is the queen's idol, with some patterns and numbers. The back is a relief of a mountain and some words, but unfortunately I don't recognize it.

Holding a wooden stick in his right hand, he looked around alertly.

The little fat man took a bath in the river, and the river quickly became dirty and black, and the black little fat man turned into a white little fat man.

As he kept washing, the fat man came out soon, put on a linen coat, linen pants, and layered peach pits, and lay next to Su Ming.

"Amin, my dad is here!"

The little fat man said.

"My father is here too!" Su Ming said.

Soon, some miners appeared in the distance, all of whom were adult men.

They took off their clothes and went into the river to wash, among which were the fat man's father and Su Ming's father.

After taking a shower, I went home under the guidance of the adults.

After returning home, my father seemed a little tired and lay in bed powerlessly.

Su Ming sat upright on the bed, waiting for his mother.

My mother is also working, and it is said that she works in a textile factory and earns ten copper coins a day.

Half an hour later, my mother came back.

Mom counted the copper coins, a family of four, father's fifteen copper coins, mother's ten copper coins, Su Ming's five copper coins, totaling thirty copper coins. My younger brother is five years old this year and cannot go to work. If he is eight years old, he can still work in the coal mine, and at least five copper coins a day.

At home, there are thirty copper coins a day.

It takes twenty copper coins to buy flour and make your own black bread, potatoes, salt, mutton, etc.

You can save ten copper coins every day.

If you buy clothes, some cheese, a few fish, etc., there will be no copper coins.

The whole family worked hard, but they lived a life of a sunshine clan and didn't save much money all year round.

The whole family is often hungry and half-starved.

In memory, the biggest dream is to have a full meal.

Gudong!

Gudong!

Soon, the water on the hot pot boiled.

Dinner is ready.

Dinner is just a piece of black bread and a pot of soup, mainly potatoes.

In the Glorious Empire, the cheapest vegetable is potatoes.

In Karan City, potatoes occupy more than seven layers of the main vegetables of the working class.

Eating potatoes and black bread tastes bad, but Su Ming ate very quickly, and hunger is the best delicacy.

After dinner, my father said, "Son, go drink!"

"I'm still a child, I don't drink alcohol!"

Su Ming said.

"You are not young anymore, it's time to drink!" said Dad.

My mother was silent and handed over three copper coins.

Dad took the copper coins and took his son to the tavern to drink.

When we arrived at the tavern, it seemed that we got off work early on Saturday, and there were many adults gathering, and everyone came forward to ask for a drink.

The bartender opened the wine, and each person had a wooden cup.

Then, pour wine into the wooden cup, and a wooden cup was full of wine.

The adult man took the wooden cup and threw a copper coin into the cash box next to him.

My father also threw down a copper coin and took a wooden glass of wine.

"Son, take a sip!"

Dad said.

Su Ming took the wooden cup, which was about half a liter in size. The wine inside was very turbid, like a horse's urine, and smelled a choking smell: "What is this?"

“Is this beer?”

Su Ming was puzzled.

Take a sip and it smells pungent.

"No more drinking!"

Su Ming said.

"Amin, you have to learn to drink. The future will be hard, and it will be difficult to drink!" Dad said, taking another sip of ale.

Live in hell before drinking.

After drinking, live in heaven.

After drinking, my father became confused and began to go home in a daze.

After returning home, I started to go crazy.

After he was drunk and started beating women.

After being beaten a few times, my mother ran away immediately.

Su Ming also ran away. He was only ten years old and could not beat his father.

After he was drunk and crazy, his father seemed to have exhausted his strength and began to sleep.

The family returned home and started to sleep.
