Mr. Bao and his son: Only use Stankang for hair oil

Chapter 9 Zhang Siwu

Changmen North Pier.

The gang of Zhang Siwu and Bao Guowei gathered together and chatted.

"Brother Zhang, is this person Bao Guowei, the son in charge of affairs?"

A young worker with a short build, dark skin, and a rather wretched face asked Zhang Siwu. Before Zhang Siwu could answer, he spoke again.

"You have a nice hair style. You are much more handsome than my brother, right?"

The skinny black monkey put his hand on a taller boy next to him
"Bao Guowei! I am Wang Xiaowu, the son of Wang Guizhi, and this black boy is my brother Wang Dachui. That guy's name is Li Hongchang, Aunt Li's son. He stews strangers when he meets them. Once you get to know him, you will know how mean he is."

Wang Dachui looks a bit like Wang Xiaowu, but he is taller than him. Although Wang Xiaowu calls him "Heiqiuzi", he is fairer than him. He looks a little shy and scratches his head.

"Bao Guowei, you can just call me Chui'er. I heard that your father's salary is seven yuan a month, while our mother's salary is only three yuan."

"His father is in charge of affairs in the Qin Mansion and has been working for more than thirty years. My mother is just a laundry worker. She must be higher than my mother."

Before Bao Guowei opened his mouth, Wang Xiaowu rushed to answer. He seemed to be a very lively chatterbox.

Bao Guowei had a headache. He thought he was not very good at dealing with people, especially such "simple" people who couldn't even speak the most basic polite words.

"Xiaoshan, hurry up and take your brothers to find a job. Negotiate a higher price."

Seemingly noticing that Bao Guowei was a little distressed, Zhang Siwu waved his hand and said to Hu Xiaoshan.

"Ah, I still want to talk to Bao Guowei!"

"Go quickly! It's important to find a job. Besides, I haven't reminisced with him yet."

"Okay! By the way, Bao Guowei! You fought so beautifully just now!"

Zhang Siwu’s words are very useful.

Hu Xiaoshan gave Bao Guowei a thumbs up, and then he and the three workers chattered to the dock to dock with the boat to "fish for Kaizi".

Zhang started playing with Guowei and Hu Xiaoshan when he was four or five years old. One day when he heard a storyteller talking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he even pulled Hu Xiaoshan to imitate Liu Guan and Zhang's "Three Brothers in Taoyuan".

But no one took it seriously at the time.

He used to be a crybaby who was easily beaten by Bao Guowei. He was often beaten by Bao Guowei, and would cry and complain to Lao Bao and Guowei Niang.

Guowei's mother would scold Bao Guowei and occasionally pack Guowei twice.Lao Bao was always troubled and could not reprimand Bao Guowei, so he had to go to Lao Zhang's house to apologize.

However, every time Bao Guowei was scolded by his mother, he would beat Zhang four or five times.

After not seeing each other for two years, Bao Guowei found that Zhang Siwu's appearance had changed a lot.

Zhang Siwu has a face that is not very similar to that of Lao Zhang, but looks like Lao Zhang's somewhat beautiful daughter-in-law.

She has an oval face, a straight nose, a little small eyes, and fair skin, which makes her naturally attractive to people.

Although there is still a bit of childishness on his face, his every move gives people a sense of perseverance, and he looks very trustworthy.

He also developed very quickly. He was nearly 15 meters tall when he was less than 1.7 years old, almost as tall as Bao Guowei.

His figure does not look thin, but rather strong. The forearms exposed under the black short shirt look very powerful. The veins on the skin are exposed, but they make them whiter.

It seems like this, Lao Zhang is a barber, and his son probably also has some artistic genes, so artists are naturally lighter.

Bao Guowei and Zhang Siwu came to the steps and sat down next to them.

"Guowei, why did you suddenly come to see us today? What happened to my father?"

"That's not true, I just... haven't played with you for a long time. I asked Lao Zhang to look for you. He said you were working at the North Pier, so I came to take a look." "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for two years. After we played together, Hu Xiaoshan often said that you have changed and he was not willing to talk to us."

Zhang Siwu picked up the water bottle on the ground, took a sip of water, and said:
"Ha! But I know you haven't changed, and you still treat me as a brother. I can see that Hu Xiaoshan is also very happy."

Bao Guowei felt that Zhang Siwu was very good at winning people's hearts. He was handsome, spoke well, had good skills, and was kind-hearted... Otherwise, why would he give half a dollar to the little foreman?

No wonder he has become the eldest son of the descendants of the Qin family.

"Hey, there was something wrong with me before, but now I think about it. By the way, how much can you earn by working here in a day?"

"We are just a small group, and we work together to take over jobs."

Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Li were both servants working in the Qin Mansion. Poor families had few connections, so naturally even their children had to join together to keep warm.

"How much you earn depends on the market. We have only been working for two or three months. Because we are young, we can only do small jobs. We have to choose jobs that big workers don't want. We have to find the jobs ourselves and report them to the supervisor and pay a commission. "

"If you work by yourself and work alone, a young worker will be paid five cents a day. A small group can directly earn more by doing the work. After the work is completed, you can sometimes earn twenty cents a day."

Bao Guowei did the math.

"Then you can earn five or six yuan this month?"

"Haha, it's not like we work every day. Tieniu can't help but do it like this. Moreover, if the things are not moved properly, you will be fined, and you have to use the money to pay tribute to the manager. It's pretty good to earn two or three yuan if you work hard."

Two or three yuan, that's less than a dime a day.

Bao Guowei was a little silent. Mr. Chu Ze gave him twenty with a stroke of his pen. Although he knew it was not a small amount at the time, now he realized that ordinary people had to pay for the money that Chu Ze took out casually. How hard it takes to earn it.

Zhang Siwu shared some experiences with Bao Guowei:
Most of the people looking for small jobs are freeloaders, and they often give prices for cattle and horses, so negotiating a good price requires some effort and a long time.When I meet someone who is stupid, I will trick him and ask him to pay more money.

Some shameless people will make some bad gadgets or worthless and fragile things for small workers to move and extort money, so be sure to check if there are any pitfalls before doing the work.

There is not much work left after the big workers are picked, and they cannot support two waves of small workers. Even if there is work, it is easy to be killed by competing prices. This is one of the reasons why the two groups fought before.

Do this when moving things so as not to damage your knees...

After muscle strain, you need to massage like this to recover quickly...

The more Bao Guowei listened, the more he felt that the work at the dock was not easy, and the more he felt in his heart that he praised Zhang Siwu's intelligence and ability.

Same as fourteen, how beautiful you are.

"You will find a job later. If you need my help, can I give it a try?"

Bao Guowei looked at Zhang Siwu.

"Well, if you can endure the hardship. Be careful when moving things. If it breaks, we will have to pay for it."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Speaking of which, my father told me that he would let you go to school, right? Or a foreign school."

"Yes, school will start in a few months. It was originally October [-]th, but later it was changed to November [-]st."

There was a little envy in Zhang Siwu's eyes.

"Actually, I also..."

He didn't speak anymore and seemed to be in a bitter mood.
