Chapter 5 I got the money
The people gathered around waiting for the train to come looked at Gu Yan with strange eyes. Gu Yan could only watch them laugh and pretend to be stupid. In fact, she knew in her heart that all circles were exclusive!
"Fat girl, come over to our side." A middle-aged elder sister waved at Gu Yan. She had a loud voice, a thick waist and rough skin, but she looked like a good person.

Gu Yan hurriedly carried the shovel and ran over, "Thank you, big sister."

She found that this was the second female group, and there was another group with a total of five people, all of whom were tall and thick, with round waists. The middle-aged lady was in this group except that she looked quite strong and strong. , and the other three are all dark and thin.

"Hey, this fat girl has strength at first glance, we can probably unload two cars today." A dark and thin middle-aged woman said happily.

Gu Yan thought to herself, I'm sorry, you misread it, and after thinking about it, you asked, "There are a total of forty cars, and we can only unload two cars?"

"Don't think about it," the middle-aged elder sister said slowly, "Those things are desperate to put together, and it would be nice if they could unload a car for us."

real?Gu Yan looked left and right, and all the men around were staring at the direction of the train carriage like wolves.

Gu Yan pondered for a while, then lowered her head and listened to the middle-aged elder sister to ask, seeing the middle-aged elder sister's eyes lit up.

"Sister, my surname is Qian, you can just call me Big Sister Qian."

"My name is Gu Yan, you call me Xiao Gu."

The train whistled for a long time, and one after another drove over. I don’t know who yelled “Damn!”, but Gu Yan hadn’t reacted yet. Dozens of people seemed to be desperate, pushing carts, resisting shovels. Anti-shovels followed suit.

Gu Yan's heart is cold, if she wants to grab food from this group of people, she won't be able to do it if she doesn't worry about it.

The coal is not unloaded and it is over, it has to be unlucky, and some supervisors have to send a note to receive wages after watching the unlucky.

Gu Yan had a group of five people with two small carts and three shovels. When dozens of people rushed to unload the coal, Gu Yan ran to the back to carry the shovel again. Sister Qian climbed into a carriage with a big sister in front. , the other two elder sisters climbed into another carriage, this is Gu Yan's strategy, anyway, the group doesn't care about the number of people, so they will occupy it first.

Unload the coal first, and Gu Yan will be unlucky at the bottom alone. When the unloading is almost done, push the two cars together. Their speed may be slow, but this will ensure that at least two cars can be unloaded, and one person can Get two bucks.

Gu Yan can be regarded as a person who can bear hardships, but she has never done such a coolie before. She only pushed two carts, and her eyes were covered with hot sweat.

"Little Gu, come up and unload it," Sister Qian hurriedly shouted from above, "Your growth is in vain!"

Sister Qian had already climbed down from the carriage as she said that.

Gu Yan hurriedly put down the small stroller and climbed up. To be honest, she really couldn't push it, and after pushing it a few times, her hands were covered with bleeding blisters.

In fact, unloading the car was not easy, and she kept on maintaining one movement, her arms were sore and sore, Gu Yan had to grit her teeth and persevere, after all, those two dark and thin elder sisters were quicker than her.

"This is what we unloaded!" Someone in the carriage not far away suddenly yelled loudly.

Immediately someone yelled, "Snatch what you want, whoever robs, get out!"

Standing tall, Gu Yan could hear clearly that the one who told people to get the hell out was the long-haired guy riding a bicycle to call people to work. The guy was in his early twenties, with a thin body, and there was a ruthless look in his eyes at a young age.

The long-haired boy ran over there quickly while talking.

The quarrel gradually subsided, and the sky gradually got late. The afterglow of the sun shone on the whole sky, glowing a warm orange color, and the breeze was blowing. What a beautiful evening.

However, the coal yard is still completely dark. Some people have already left scatteredly. A few people are still fighting. Gu Yan and the others’ two carts of coal are gradually coming to an end. When the last cart is pushed, Gu Yan is already tired. She didn't want to do anything other than lie down and fall asleep, but she couldn't.

Sister Qian received her wages according to the note, and her face was filled with joy, "Thanks to Xiao Gu, we were able to unload an extra truck today."

"It's just that it's too slow. It looks fat and doesn't have the strength." One of the thin elder sisters complained.

"You were not as good as others when you first worked." Sister Qian said and took out two yuan and handed it to Gu Yan, "Here."

"Thank you, Sister Qian." Gu Yan stretched out her hand to take the money, and taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to take a picture, the person driving the tractor looked extraordinarily good-looking.

After reading it, he tightly held the money in his hands, the blood blisters in his squeezed hands were very painful.

It's really not easy to earn this money!
After leaving the coal yard, Gu Yan intentionally stopped Sister Qian, and asked her curiously, "Sister Qian, who is that long-haired young man? How could he get this job?"

Just now she saw that long-haired young man received five yuan at the coal yard, which should be his reward for finding someone.

"His surname is Qi. We all call him Xiao Qi. The young man is very capable and can always get jobs. You came late today. If you want to find a good job, you have to come at four or five o'clock in the morning. A small worker on the construction site can earn at least six yuan a day, and if the work is long, earning a hundred and eighty yuan is not a problem."

Gu Yan thought to herself, this young man is quite difficult, he has been working as an intermediary since this age, and he only has to come at four or five o'clock.
"Sister Qian, as long as you come, can you get a job?"

"How is that possible? It depends on whether the employer can match it."

Just as he was speaking, a figure riding fast flew past his eyes.

Before Gu Yan could react, she saw Sister Qian chasing someone and shouting, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi"

Xiao Qi, who was riding a bicycle, stopped, turned his feet and shouted, "Sister Qian, I will pay attention to what you said, and I will call you when I have a letter."

Xiao Qi shouted to get in the car and ran away quickly on the bike.

"Little bastard, you are only fooling me!" Elder Sister Qian bent over and scolded out of breath.

"Sister Qian, you want Xiao Qi to help you find a long-term job?" Gu Yan walked up and asked.

Sister Qian was quite calm, "No, if you can find a long-term job, you don't have to be here every day looking for change jobs."

"Then what can you do for a long time?"

Sister Qian suddenly turned her head, looked Gu Yan up and down and said, "Girl, why are you so fat? You don't have much fat, you've grown fat for nothing!"

Gu Yande, don't ask her anything.

Gu Yan really has to go back this time. She remembers that there is a vegetable market nearby. It is the mid-80s now. Although the individual economy has not fully blossomed everywhere, there are also farmers who come to sell vegetables.

After separating from Sister Qian, she turned to the farmers' market according to the route she remembered. It was almost evening, and there were only a few vegetable stalls here and there, with some wilting green vegetables on display, but this was exactly what Gu Yan wanted. .

I bought green onions for [-] cents, pepper noodles for [-] cents, a bunch of celery for [-] cents, yeast for [-] cents, and a little fat from the meat stall for [-] cents.She remembered that last time Gu Jianghe sent two or three catties of flour, and she was going to make big steamed stuffed buns. There were carbohydrates and vegetables in the steamed stuffed buns, which matched well.

Carrying vegetables on the way back, looking at the grain and oil non-staple food stores, tailor shops, breakfast shops, and bicycle repair shops on both sides of the road that have begun to close. Gu Yan gradually fell into contemplation. Doing odd jobs is just enough to eat for a while. Self-reliance is absolutely impossible.
