"I know you have to work at night, it's a day job. I have a friend who owns a candy store and is looking for someone who can help the elderly with some heavy work..."
"I'm sorry for being insensitive." Jiang Yan interrupted Dong Bo without thinking. It was so fast that Mr. Dong was stunned on the spot.
——Jiang Yan has no interest in becoming a working soldier.
When he was still training in City A, he knew early on the hardships of working soldiers: After training every day, as long as Ai Luo could still move, he would crawl to Walton's ramen shop, and every time he had to wait until he finished collecting
I came back after the store was closed. Fortunately, Walton's store was relatively unpopular, otherwise Ai Luo would have died suddenly before the field training.
Are you envious when you see people working two jobs and receiving two salaries? That is not something people can bear. I pay tribute to all working warriors. In short, Jiang Yan will never work two jobs at the same time.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Dong." Jiang Yan said apologetically: "But you know, working at night is really tiring. If you have to work part-time during the day, it's really..."
Uncle Dong smiled and said: "It's understandable, it's understandable. Alas, it's just a pain for my old friend. No one is willing to work even if the hourly salary is 50 dragon gate coins -"
"Actually, after thinking about it, it's not that I can't give it a try." Jiang Yan said sternly: "Uncle Dong, I feel that as a new generation of Sanhao in the new era, I should take it as my duty to help others, not to mention that I am still an old man with inconvenient legs and feet.
.Where exactly is that store located?”
Seeing the surprised and disdainful looks in Jie and Li Duan's eyes, Jiang Yan just pretended not to see it - although his words may have been exaggerated and shameless.
He didn't know what was going on with Jie and Li Duan, but "it's only the boss who knows how expensive firewood and rice are." What's the concept of an hourly wage of 50 gantry coins? If you don't consider the quality of accommodation and food, working for one hour is enough to eat!
If you don't do it, it's for nothing. Let's ask the place clearly before we talk.
Dong Bo thought: "I remember it's not very far away, right here..." He mentioned a place name, and Li Chang explained to him that this was one of the major slums in Longmen.
"You should have seen it when you got there. It's quite conspicuous. He opens the store early and closes late. He mainly kills time and finds something to do. If you want to go, you can go to him at any time. I will meet you later.
Let me make a call for you."
"Then there's Uncle Lao." Jiang Yan raised his wrist and then remembered that the watch he was wearing as a Christmas gift from Jessica had already been searched and taken off by his own people. He turned to Li Duan and asked:
"What time is it now?"
"It's almost 9 o'clock...what, are you looking for someone now?"
Jiang Shao thought for a while. Even if it was relatively late at this time, the candy store owned by an old man should be closed. I'm afraid it's too late today. Jiang Shao sighed helplessly.
But the opportunity that the boss finally gave him to skip work cannot be wasted, otherwise...
"Li Duan, I remember tomorrow is a working day, right? You don't have to get ready for school or anything?"
"... Bang, it seems that I really have to go to school." Li Duan scratched his head helplessly. Ah Fa mentioned to Jiang Yan that he had found a new school for Li Duan not long ago. As an older repeater, Li Duan must ensure that
It depends on how many days you have been in school. “I have to go back and do some homework.”
"Then you go back, I want to walk around and visit Longmen." Jiang Shao turned to look at Jie again: "What are your plans?"
"...I still have something to do, let's forget it this time." He shook his head slightly. Li Duan seemed to be very reluctant to go home, and asked Jiang Yan, "Is it okay for you to be alone? I can show you the way. I'll accompany you.
you--"
"I can read the street signs." Jiang Yan shrugged and imitated Ah Fa's tone of voice and scolded Li Duan for a while. Finally the three of them said goodbye. Jiang Yan secretly wrote down Uncle Dong's stall, then looked at the price list and quietly stuffed the money.
Under the beer bottles, he left the park with only a few coins left in his wallet.

Jiang Yan has his own plans.
He had nothing to do, and he had a good rest in the afternoon. Now he has filled his stomach, so he just treated it as an after-dinner snack. Although he really wanted to say this, he was not "that" full after all. The pedestrian street attracted people.
The eye-catching signboard and the aroma that comes out of the small store from time to time are simply strategic weapon-level lethality to him now - but those have nothing to do with him.
A penny stumps a heroic man. Jiang Yan consciously turned his attention to the signboard of the clothing store, even though he didn't wear famous brands at all and didn't understand fashion at all.
He just misses this sense of life - walking around, looking around, and buying nothing. This is how he spent his time as a poor man at the time. If it weren't for the mission, he should be considered to have a little money now...
Letting his thoughts wander randomly, Jiang Shao often thought about things like Franka's skirt, Razer's pants, the lipstick that Elle bought and never used, and the watch that Jessica wore, all of which were unfamiliar brands - none of them in her previous life.
He has no chance to think about this because he is destined to be a woman. Now he is surrounded by a lot of beauties. Although they all get along with each other as friends, there is nothing wrong with getting to know each other through them - just to lay the foundation.
He wandered the streets of a foreign land, using half his brain to think about these unconstructive topics. At the same time, he found a tourist map of the Longmen area and planned it in his own way.
Stores, bus stations, subway stations, banks, department stores, gantry outer ring viaducts, airports, seaports, customs...
Then there is the Longmen Guards Bureau.
That's probably it... Jiang Yan curled his lips. The accuracy of this tourist map is too poor. Only the parts related to entertainment consumption are written. At most, there is a bus stop. The Longmen Guards Bureau is still when Jiang Yan was in class.
Write it down and mark it according to the image.
Forget it, you can't force it. Jiang Yan found out his current location, found the general direction according to the address given by Uncle Dong, figured out the route, and started taking formal action.
Is the entertainment over now... He didn't even drink milk tea. Jiang Yan complained silently and concentrated his energy.
Now is the time to step in.
——————————
After crossing another puddle of water, Jiang Yan whistled.
Should I say it's a local characteristic? The styles of slums in different areas of Longmen are different. The area where Shen Mo's family lives is as quiet as a no-man's land. The area where I first met Li Dan, made friends with Lao Wang, and worked for Afa has narrow and winding roads.
It winds like a maze. There are a lot of pools in this area, but there has been no precipitation in the past few days - making Jiang Yan very curious about their origins.
It's just like... Jiang Yan doesn't know if this metaphor is appropriate, but if I talk about the first impression, it feels like this: a half-dry sewer.
He rounded another corner and saw the goal of his trip——
