Lin Fei smiled bitterly that his image was too bad. He was as fat as a pig and covered in mud. No one would be annoyed by it.
After standing for a while, the beautiful little pregnant woman quietly moved to Lin Fei's side and whispered hesitantly: "Uncle, uncle..."
Lin Fei looked around and saw that there was no one around. He was definitely calling him, but was he that old? The teenage girl selling steamed buns just called me uncle. Why do you, a pregnant woman who is about to become a mother, have such no vision?
Does the beard on your face look so dated?
"Oh." Lin Fei responded lightly.
"I...can I borrow your cell phone to make a call?"
"cell phone?"
"My duffel bag was stolen. My phone is in the bag. I want to call someone."
"That's it...okay." Lin Fei took out his super broken mobile phone from his trouser pocket and handed it to her.
She took it gratefully, quickly dialed a number, and put it to her ear. Then she froze and whispered in a disappointed voice: "Uncle, your mobile phone is out of service because of arrears."
"What?!" I had called Zhu Hua in the morning, but why was the phone shut down now? So I took the phone and dialed Zhu Hua's number again. A voice came out: Your phone balance is insufficient and the service has been suspended...
Damn! This fat man in his previous life was so amazing that he could even spend all his cell phone bills before he died. I’m really speechless!
"Then there's nothing we can do." Lin Fei put his phone into his trouser pocket, "If your bag is stolen, you can go to the police and they will help you."
"Well..." She responded sadly, stopped talking, and slowly walked back to the place where she had taken shelter from the rain.
The rain finally subsided, and Lin Fei was about to leave. Looking at the beautiful pregnant woman who was still looking at the gloomy sky in a daze, he said: "The rain has stopped, go find the police quickly!" He left here.
Shanshui Town is built next to the river. China's famous Zhengnan Grand Canal rushes through the town from east to west.
With this unique condition, this year the government wanted to build Shanshui Town into a small port, so it re-planned the construction. That's why there are so many construction sites for demolition and reconstruction.
Although the port has not yet been fully built, cargo ships have already docked here, and many temporary laborers are loading and unloading cargo onto the cargo ships.
In the past, robots and intelligent unmanned trucks were used to transport goods. This world still uses laborers, but this gave Lin Fei an opportunity to find a temporary job.
Sure enough, a middle-aged man in a suit walked up to some workers sitting on the shore of the port and said: "Ten people, one hundred per person, will carry the goods to the ship, and they will be completed before four o'clock in the afternoon."
The workers immediately stood up, bulging their chests with anticipation and said, "Choose me, boss! Choose me...!"
"Quiet!" He frowned at them, looking them up and down, "You...you, and you..."
The fat Lin Fei, who was standing in the crowd, was finally ignored by him, choosing only those who were agile and strong.
The others sat back in disappointment and waited for the next boss to come.
After a while, another person came to look for workers, but Lin Fei was not selected because his fat body was too conspicuous!
After waiting like this for two or three hours, some of the previously selected laborers had done several jobs. Lin Fei had not been hit once. Seeing that it was already dark, it seemed that he was going to return empty-handed.
However, his straight-talking character when he was a soldier in his previous life prevented him from leaving. He had to wait a little longer and pay back Liu Fu's three bottles of liquor.
Finally, another middle-aged man wearing a shirt and trousers came. He frowned at the few workers and shook his head.
Because it was already dark at this time, many workers had gone home after earning enough money. Now there are only a few workers left who like Lin Fei had not found a job or had worked once or twice but did not earn enough. They are all old and weak.
Sick and disabled.
The man frowned and said, "How many of you are left?"
A lean worker said: "Boss, don't look at me because I'm thin, but I'm very good at manual labor!"
"Okay, you all come, but I will say something ugly first. If the goods are moved down within two hours, each person will be paid three hundred. If the task cannot be completed, only one hundred will be given."
"No problem!" Three hundred is a lot, usually one hundred. Even if you can't complete the task, it's still worth one hundred.
"Then come with me." The man led several people to the ship on the deck. When they saw the mountains of cargo, several people gasped, so much?!
"What's wrong?! Move quickly!" the man urged.
"Boss, we are the only ones who are not exhausted from moving this in two hours!" an older man wailed. If we can't move it in two hours, we can't get 300 yuan without asking, and it will make our bodies tired.
If it collapses, the gains outweigh the losses.
"If you don't want to do it, just leave! Don't bother here!" the middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"Fight it!" Thin Monkey said fiercely. He picked up a box and started working. It turned out to be very agile.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Fei blocked his side.
"What are you doing, fat man? Get out of the way!" said the thin monkey impatiently.
"I'm afraid it won't take more than three hours to move like this." Lin Fei said: "Why don't the six of us stand apart and then relay. This will not only consume less energy, but also shorten the time." Lin Fei thought if he was alone
Carrying the goods from the ship to the warehouse, if you don't move back and forth a few times, you will probably faint from exhaustion. Then you won't be able to get the money, which will be a big loss.
As a soldier, he knows best about teamwork and the fastest and most labor-saving methods. Otherwise, how could anyone complete a solid fortification overnight to withstand foreign enemy artillery fire?
The boss nodded and said, "That's a good idea. If it can be completed in one hour, I'll add fifty more for each person!" He needed to finish moving the goods as soon as possible and do other things, so he just offered a high price of three hundred yuan.
As soon as everyone heard the news, they immediately started working furiously. It was about one hundred meters from the ship to the warehouse, and there was a person standing twenty meters apart. In this way, the goods were moved as quickly as an assembly line. It was so.
, Lin Fei, who was still tired, was not brisk. His fat body had already been overdrawn when he was moving wood and cement at the construction site. Now he was working with the strength of his spirit. He had no choice but to pay back the money and pay the rent.
A big reward must be a brave man. Driven by another fifty yuan, a few people miraculously finished the job within an hour.
The boss fulfilled his promise and gave each person three hundred and fifty yuan.
Everyone was very excited and at the same time very grateful to Lin Fei. If he hadn't come up with this idea, it would have been impossible to complete the task within an hour.
"Brother, let me meet you. My name is Liu Wei." The quick-working Shouhou was very grateful to Lin Fei for his idea. He was very fond of him and took the initiative to talk to him.
"Lin Fei."
"Is this your first day here? I've never seen you before."
"Yeah." Lin Fei sat tiredly on the stone steps on the shore and said breathlessly.
"I'm so tired. Let's find a stall to have a drink to relieve our fatigue."
Lin Fei wanted to have a drink, but thinking of his chronic diseases and the rent he had to pay tonight, he shook his head and said, "No, let's try another day."
"Okay, let's go." He pulled a few other people away.
Lin Fei stood up, moved his big feet like needles and soft legs, and moved back step by step.
About an hour later, we finally moved to the alley outside Tongzi Tower. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Walking through the uneven mud pit, I walked in.
"Woooo..." A woman's cry came from a corner of the adjacent Tongzilou alley.
Lin Fei frowned, whose girl didn't go home late at night and hid in the corner crying?
He slowly walked over and saw a woman squatting there, covering her head and sobbing, feeling so sad.
It turned out to be the beautiful young pregnant woman I saw during the day who had lost her luggage.
Where does this come from?
"Hey, what are you doing?"
She raised her head in fear and saw that it was Lin Fei. Her expression became much calmer and she stood up, "Uncle, are you? I... have nowhere to go. It's so dark, I'm so scared!"
"Didn't I tell you to go to the police? It's very dangerous here at night! Not to mention a beautiful little pregnant... little girl!"
She bit her lower lip and remained silent.
Is this pregnant woman a fugitive? She feels uncomfortable mentioning the police.
"Then instead of going to the police station, you can just find a hotel!"
"My wallet was also in the suitcase and was stolen."
How unlucky.
"Do you have any relatives in town?"
She shook her head.
"Who did you call when you borrowed my mobile phone during the day? Was it your husband... a friend? Can I help you find a public phone and call him?" Lin Fei was embarrassed to say whether it was her husband. Now
The world of young people is hard to say. It's normal to have children before marriage. Maybe it's his boyfriend. He just wants to have fun, so doesn't he know how to bring safety equipment?
Her pretty face turned happy, "Thank you, uncle."
"follow me."
As soon as the two of them turned into Tongzilou, they heard the voice of Li Fu from the canteen: "Oh brother Lin Fei, you are back, um..." He ran over in three steps and two steps, and he was eager to see what was going on.
"Here you go, how much is the total?"
When Li Fu heard that there was something going on, he said with a smile on his face: "Three bottles of liquor total 300 yuan..."
"What?! So many!" Lin Fei said in surprise.
"Yesterday you said you wanted to bring good wine to honor my father, so I bought the best high-grade Dongfeng liquor from my canteen. At that time, you were still a low-grade liquor. If you don't believe me, you can look at the credit bill. You signed your name.
"
This damn fat man! He wants such good wine to commit suicide. Why don’t he just buy a few bottles of low-quality liquor?
Fortunately, he earned enough money today. "Okay, I'll give it to you!" Lin Fei took out a three hundred dollar bill.
Li Fu rubbed his eyes, with surprise in his eyes. He had prepared the worst, thinking that the fat man would refuse to pay, or if it was better, he would give a small part of the money and delay it indefinitely, but he didn't expect that he would pay back the debt all at once.
Okay, it feels a bit like a dream. Is this Fatty Lin?
He quickly grabbed the three hundred yuan in Lin Fei's hand and said with a smile: "You know that I am a man of his word! I will cancel the outstanding bill with your signature right now!"
