Chapter 255, this is a place where hard work pays off
"Wow, sister, your house is so beautiful. I like it here very much."
When we arrived at Dong Chunhua's home, Tuwa visited it inside and out, and immediately couldn't help but marvel.
When you look at it from the outside, you can't see much. Only when you actually enter the house, and Dong Chunhua introduces it in a slightly ostentatious manner, Tuwa, Shuiwa and the others can really see this house worth more than 800 taels of silver.
The house is so beautiful.
The exquisite design, transparent windows, and Dong Chunhua's careful decoration during this period make this place look very beautiful and luxurious, so much so that at the beginning, Shui Wa and the others did not dare to step in.
I'm afraid it will get dirty here.
"Yes, this house is much more beautiful than Landlord Liu's house. The water actually comes by itself. This toilet is cleaner than the bed in my house. Is this still a toilet?"
Shui Wa also nodded, looking dumbfounded.
"If you like it, work harder and you will be able to afford a house like this in the future."
Dong Chunhua was naturally smiling, her vanity was greatly satisfied. People are like this, sometimes they just like to be praised.
"Sister, are you saying that I can afford a house like this in the future?"
When Tuwa heard this, she was immediately excited.
When she thought that she could own such a house in the future, Tuwa became excited and asked seriously.
"Of course. Look at your brother-in-law. He used to be a useless person. Now he can't afford such a house. Are you worse than your brother-in-law?"
Dong Chunhua smiled and said that in her eyes, Wang Gensheng in the past was a representative of the hopeless, that is, he only knew how to work hard and knew nothing else.
So in the past, Dong Chunhua and Wang Gensheng had many quarrels. They would have a small quarrel every three days and a serious fight every five days. Women would basically despise their men for being incompetent, especially this poor couple.
This is even more true for Pepsi Ai.
But who knew that Wang Gensheng, an old scalper who only immersed himself in hard work, would one day turn around. Now it is so bad that Dong Chunhua no longer dares to quarrel with Wang Gensheng.
He was afraid that Wang Gensheng would divorce him and then marry someone younger and more beautiful.
Don't think this is a joke. In this era, capable men have three wives and four concubines. Sailors like Wang Gensheng have high incomes and are considered capable people. Many of them have married beautiful concubines.
There are many homes in Moon Bay Community.
So she is still afraid now and does not dare to quarrel with Wang Gensheng at all. She has even thought about it. As long as she can grow bigger, Wang Gensheng will not object to taking concubines.
Only in front of her family did she dare to say a word or two about what happened to Wang Gensheng in the past.
"Brother-in-law is a very capable person, how can I compare to him?"
When Tuwa heard this, she immediately shook her head.
His brother-in-law Wang Gensheng is very powerful now. He is the talk of the town from all over the country. How can he compare with Wang Gensheng?
"Let him be like that, but since you have come to Tianjin, you should learn more from your brother-in-law and become sailors in the future. You can make money quickly, and it won't take long to buy a house like this."
Dong Chunhua thought for a while and nodded.
Although Wang Gensheng had no other abilities, he was willing to work hard and study, so he was able to enter the Tianjin Maritime Academy and successfully become a seaman. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have the life he has now.
Generally speaking, although Dong Chunhua is very dissatisfied with Wang Gensheng and even despises him, she has to admit that Wang Gensheng has his own advantages in this regard. People who are willing to work hard and learn will always fail.
Too bad.
"Really?"
Tuwa, Shuiwa and the others opened their eyes wide and said.
"Of course. As long as you study hard, you will soon have such a big house."
Dong Chunhua said very seriously, then looked at the sky outside and said: "I went to sell vegetables and cook. Your brother-in-law will come back in the evening. Then I will ask him to find a job for you. Do it first and study hard.
There will definitely be a day when he will become famous.”
After saying this, Dong Chunhua also went out and invited Fan Lianhua from next door to sell vegetables and cook together, waiting for the boss to come back.
"Lianhua, what kind of jobs did your head find for your younger brothers and sisters?"
On the way to sell vegetables, Dong Chunhua also asked, Fan Lianhua's younger brothers and sisters have all come to Tianjin, they came two days ago.
"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone."
"My younger brother is really useless and ambitious. I don't dare to let him work in the factory. He thinks the salary is low and he is tired. He wants to go to sea with me and become a sailor."
"But you also know that it is so easy to be a seaman. You have to study hard at Tianjin Maritime College. But my brother, who is not good at typing, how can he get into Tianjin Maritime College?
.”
"So the head of my family had a good discussion with the captain of their ship and decided to let him go to sea with the ship, help out at sea, and do odd jobs. He will become a full-time captain after he masters the skills of going to sea."
When it came to this matter, Fan Lianhua was helpless and said to Dong Chunhua in a very low voice.
"Is this still possible?"
When Dong Chunhua heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded and asked quickly.
"Of course you can. It's not just our family that does it, many people do it."
"Of course the students who graduate from Tianjin Maritime College are different, but now that there are more and more ships, more and more crew members are needed. Those who graduate from Tianjin Maritime College generally hold important positions on the ship, such as captain, deputy captain, etc.
Steering the helm, etc. As for ordinary people doing odd jobs, there is no need to use them at all, so naturally some people need to be recruited."
Fan Lianhua said matter-of-factly that seafarers' incomes are high now, so there are naturally many people who want to eat this food.
If you have the skills, go through formal channels and study systematically at Tianjin Maritime University. After graduation, you will naturally be in demand.
However, it was difficult to go through formal channels, so slowly and naturally some irregular channels appeared, privately following the ship and learning from the crew on the ship.
Generally, such people have connections, such as relatives and friends of seafarers. These people have just started doing odd jobs on the ship, with low wages and poor treatment, but they still have the opportunity to learn something.
If you are willing to work and are smart, you can learn something and gradually have hope of becoming a regular employee. After all, seafarers are so popular now. There are more and more ships, and more and more seafarers are needed. Don’t worry.
no job.
After hearing Fan Lianhua's words, Dong Chunhua's mind became more active.
If his younger brother Tuwa could work with him on the ship first, and then ask Wang Gensheng to teach him more, he would naturally be able to save the need to go to Tianjin Maritime Academy to study.
It is not easy to get into Tianjin Maritime University.
The process that ordinary people go through is roughly to work in one of the many industries under Liu Jin's command. While working, he takes night classes and studies. At least he must be able to know a few hundred words and calculate some slightly complicated numbers before he can enter Tianjin Maritime University.
.
This process can be said to be very fast. Some people who have learned how to work and have a talent for learning can often complete this process in a few months.
But it’s slow to say that some people learn things in one ear and out the other, and they feel like falling asleep when they learn. It’s really difficult to get into Tianjin Maritime University. It’s too difficult.
And now that the reputation of Tianjin Maritime University has been established, there are many people who want to get into it, and the competition is very fierce. Unlike Wang Gensheng, Chen Laosan and others who wanted to go to the lower level at that time.
So after hearing that there was such a way, Dong Chunhua also thought about discussing with her boss to see if she could get her younger brother Tuwa to work on a ship first. Wang Gensheng was teaching some related skills, so naturally
You can get on the road faster.
When the sun was about to set, sailors such as Wang Gensheng and Chen Laosan returned to Moon Bay Community one after another.
In the dining room of Wang Gensheng's home, the huge Eight Immortals table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, which made the country children like Tuwa and Shuiwa stare straight at them, swallowing their saliva, and looking at the person sitting on the main seat from time to time.
Wang Gensheng.
"Everyone, let's eat. You're welcome. Just treat it as your own home."
Wang Gensheng looked at Tuwa, Shuiwa and the others and said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, brother-in-law~"
Tuwa's mouth is very sweet, and after Wang Gensheng came back, his brother-in-law kept moaning about it.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang~"
As for people like Shui Wa, they call Wang Gensheng Mr. Wang. It is obvious that in their eyes, Wang Gensheng is already a capable person and is worthy of the term Mr. Wang.
"You're welcome, eat whatever you want."
Wang Gensheng also smiled and said happily.
Soon, as Wang Gen moved his chopsticks, others began to eat one after another. They were all still in their thirteenth or fourteenth year of age. Although they were precocious, they still couldn't control themselves. Naturally, they didn't look good when they ate.
Fortunately, Wang Gensheng doesn't care about this aspect. With his income, he doesn't have to worry about food and drink at all. Even if it's three meals a day, it's nothing.
But if they are placed in the countryside, especially if they are having a banquet, it is inevitable that they will be knocked on the head with their chopsticks by their elders for eating like this.
The way Wang Gensheng looked at them reminded him of his past appearance, and he smiled slightly. He waited until each of them had almost eaten before he started talking about business.
"Tuwa, do you have any plans for coming to Tianjin this time?"
"Brother-in-law, we are planning to find something to do here in Tianjin. I heard it is more profitable to make money here in Tianjin."
Tuwa also spoke on behalf of everyone.
"Well, it's easier to make money here in Tianjin. This is a place where hard work pays off."
When Wang Gensheng heard this, he seemed to be moved and said.
His words also made Dong Chunhua curl her lips slightly. Wang Gensheng's words were becoming more and more interesting now. She couldn't understand him many times, which was one of the reasons why she panicked.
She always felt that she couldn't keep up with Wang Gensheng, and she felt self-conscious about her appearance. She felt more and more that she was not worthy of Wang Gensheng. If Wang Gensheng had said a reasonable word before, she could have said ten words back.
So, this man needs to be capable, and the key is to be able to make money, otherwise even the ladies at home will look down on you.
"You all want to do something. I have many acquaintances here in Tianjin, and I also know many owners of factories and workshops. It will be very easy to find something for you."
Wang Gensheng looked at Tuwa, Shuiwa and the others and also asked.
"Brother-in-law, I want to be a sailor like you."
Tuwa said without thinking.
"Be a sailor~"
When Wang Gensheng heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Being a seaman is not that easy, especially if you want to enter Tianjin Maritime University. The most basic thing is to know a lot of words, be able to write, and be able to do arithmetic, etc. These are all things you want to learn well.
"
Hearing Wang Gensheng's words, Tuwa, Shuiwa and the others were immediately dumbfounded. To be a sailor, he actually had to study, read and write, and be able to do arithmetic, geography and so on.
"Brother-in-law, I don't know a lot of Chinese characters, let alone writing."
Tuwa scratched his head and suddenly felt that his head was big.
"I used to be like you, but as long as you study hard and study with your heart, there is actually nothing that is impossible or difficult."
Wang Gensheng smiled and said, and then said thoughtfully: "Actually, going to sea is still very risky, and wandering on the sea all year round has a great impact on the body. I originally wanted to arrange for you to go to the shipyard to work first.
, start with the most basic apprenticeship, and learn shipbuilding while learning."
"As long as the Tianjin Shipyard does a good job, it will be more popular than us as seamen. Some shipbuilders' wages are very high."
Wang Gensheng knows that he goes out to sea every day and wanders on the sea. Although the sailor is beautiful, he is also very hard. The life on the ship is very difficult. In addition, in the sea, the wind and waves are strong, and one can accidentally
Maybe being buried in the sea is far less comfortable than building a ship in the Tianjin Shipyard.
"I want to be a sailor~"
Tuwa was unmoved and still wanted to be a sailor, especially when looking at this beautiful big house.
"Okay, let's do this. You go to work here in Tianjin Cement Factory first, study hard, study, and study every night in night classes. Know more words, write more, do arithmetic and so on. Then you can enter Tianjin Maritime University.
, being a seaman is very simple.”
Wang Gensheng smiled and nodded. Being a sailor was not bad. At least he was satisfied with his current life.
"Master, I heard from Fan Lianhua next door today that there are now quotas for odd jobs on the ship. Do you think you can let Tuwa work as a handyman on the ship first, and learn the skills of the seaman while doing the work? It can also save the need to study at the Maritime Academy.
process."
At this time, Dong Chunhua said what she had discussed with Fan Lianhua today.
"What's the point of being a handyman? It's no joke to be a sailor at sea. There are handymen on the ship, but their wages are pitiful and the work they do is very tiring and dirty. It's hard to get ahead doing these things.
.”
"Besides, before you go to sea, you still need to go through systematic study and training. If you don't know how to read, write, or do arithmetic, you will never be able to become a qualified seaman."
"Looking at charts, measuring positions, calculating positions, etc. all require knowledge. Don't you see that I am still learning now?"
Upon hearing Dong Chunhua's words, Wang Gensheng immediately said with a straight face.
In his opinion, to be a seafarer, one must study hard and not be lazy and try to save steps. It is too difficult for people who are trained on board to become qualified seafarers.
Hearing Wang Gensheng's words, Dong Chunhua curled his lips. He felt that if this native boy studied from beginning to end and spent time without talking, it might not yield results. It would be better to follow Wang Gensheng and do things quickly.
"Tuwa, and you guys, please remember that Tianjin is a place where hard work is rewarded. If you want to live a good life, you must study hard and work hard."
"No matter who you work for, always keep these two points in mind. You will stand out soon. You are still young, have strong learning ability, and learn things quickly. Don't be in a hurry to make money. Study hard first and study with more heart.
"
Then Wang Gensheng spoke earnestly to Tuwa, Shuiwa and the others.
"Yes~ Brother-in-law, I will obey your arrangements."
Tuwa nodded and said.
"Thank you Mr. Wang for your teaching~"
As for Shui Wa, they also silently remembered Wang Gensheng's words.
"Well, let's do this. I will arrange for you to study at the shipyard first. Let's start as apprentices. This shipyard needs to learn a lot of knowledge, and you can also learn a lot. As for whether you will continue to work in the shipyard in the future.
You have a choice whether you want to work there or take the seamanship test."
Wang Gensheng nodded with satisfaction, then thought about it and made arrangements for them.
