Chapter 660 Poet Jia Bing
Huangyuan City is centered on the old bridge, forming several main areas; the east of the bridge is collectively called Dongguan, because the bus station is here
——This is the main "port" leading to the outside world—and there are a lot of miscellaneous market stalls and service industries for foreigners.
However, most of the outsiders who enter this city are actually rural craftsmen or pure peasants who come to seek work for a living. The bridgehead of the Dongguan Bridge is also a traditional market for selling labor, and it is often crowded with all parts of the north like a market. The craftsmen and small workers who have flowed down are waiting for the contractors to "recruit".
The main part of the city is on the west bank of the Huangyuan River, and the streets of Dongguan extend through the old bridge to the Sparrow Mountain in the west.
Next, it intersects with the north-south main street to form a T-shape. The north-south street on the west bank is the main artery of Huangyuan City. The street is about five miles long.
The middle section of the North-South Street and the East-West Street extending from Dongguan constitute the commercial center of the city, and it is also the most prosperous place in the city.
The belt, South Street stretches along the Xiaonan River, most of which are party and government departments, and the northern section is where hotels, military divisions and schools are concentrated.
Except for the commercial district in the city center, people call the rest of the city Dongguan, Nanguan, and Beiguan respectively. Nanguan is mainly the world of cadres, so it is relatively quiet; Teenagers in military uniforms and school uniforms; Tian Xiaoxia usually studies in a school in Beiguan, and returns to her home in Nanguan on weekends. Her father, Tian Fujun, will soon be the leader of the Huangyuan area.
Shen Long was not in a hurry to find Tian Xiaoxia. Before that, Sun Shaoping and Tian Xiaoxia had lost contact for almost a year. Tian Xiaoxia kept writing letters to Sun Shaoping, but because of the difference in social status between the two, Sun Shaoping did not continue to reply to Tian Xiaoxia's letter in the end. If he hadn't left home and came to Huangyuan, the two probably wouldn't have met again, right?
Going to find Tian Xiaoxia now would be a little awkward, Shen Long planned to settle down in Huangyuan first, and then look for opportunities to "encounter" Tian Xiaoxia, preferably like in the novel.
Shen Long was not as flustered and overwhelmed as Sun Shaoping when he first came to Huangyuan. He walked to the Dongguan Bridge. The sidewalks on both sides of the street were crowded with many people in disheveled or shabby clothes; Poor luggage like his, some of which are pinned with hammers, chisels, planers, chisels, square rulers, curved rulers, ink fountains and tool bags made from broken blue balls.
Some of these people walked around in a panic, some sat insensibly, and some resigned themselves to sleeping on the sidewalk with their luggage on their pillows, waiting for the recruiters to arrive.
They are the first batch of migrant workers in China. They have changed the appearance of countless cities, from dilapidated to beautiful, but they have never been respected by the cities.
Shen Long found a place on the bridge, put down his luggage, and sat down on the bedroll, carefully observing the two distinct groups of people. Full of envy and inferiority; and the long river made up of cars, bicycles and pedestrians, although flowing around them, is actually another world; few cadres and citizens walking on the street take a serious look These strangers living on the streets.
Occasionally, someone glanced at them, and their eyes were mostly disgusted, as well as some pride in their social status. They raised their chins slightly and proudly walked through the crowd. We are city people, different from poor men like them.
Whenever a contractor wears a greasy card shirt,
When he came to the head of the bridge with a black stick of smoke in his mouth, he was soon surrounded by a group of job hunters; the contractor looked at the surrounding people like buying livestock, and he was still pinching people. After seeing that the body is crooked, select a few people to take away; those who are taken away are as happy as they have participated in the work, but those who are not picked have to go back to their bedrolls in frustration, waiting for the next "savior" Come.
Shen Long didn't feel humiliated, he remembered the old godfather's famous saying, eat with your own strength, don't be ashamed; at this moment, he felt a little bit like Zhong Yuemin when he was an educated youth in Baidian Village, Tucheng Commune, and he regarded this kind of life as a kind of life. Simple experience, sometimes seriously think about it, Zhong Yuemin's lifestyle is indeed enviable.
No matter what the situation is, he can maintain an optimistic spirit of actively participating in life, and can experience various lives at will. Shen Long has been an official, a scholar, and a gangster godfather, but he has never worked as a migrant worker , It's not bad to experience it.
Of course, Shen Long would definitely not be happy if he did this for the rest of his life. No matter who he is, he would hope for a better life, otherwise Zhong Yuemin would not have left Baidian Village to serve as a soldier. It's just a good experience of Sun Shaoping's life and a real understanding of his inner world. Once there is a suitable time and reason, he will definitely jump out of here.
By the time the sun was about to set, Shen Long hadn't found a job. It wasn't that he was unqualified, but that he had put most of his energy into observation and didn't recommend himself when the contractor came over.
The job hunters at the bridgehead packed up their things in twos and threes and prepared to leave. It is likely that no one will come to recruit workers today. It is better to find a place to deal with it overnight and come back tomorrow.
Shen Long also left Qiaotou with them and began to look for a place to spend the night. Although there were many small hotels nearby, he did not have a letter of introduction, so it was not easy to stay, and staying in a hotel did not meet the status of a job seeker.
In this day and age, people who come from the countryside to the city are reluctant to spend this money. They usually choose to go to their relatives and friends, and endure the disgusting eyes of the other party for one night; Some people come to stay overnight, and no one will have a good face.
Shen Long now has three choices. The first is Sun Shaoping’s good friend Jin Bo. Jin Bo’s father, Jin Junhai, works as a driver at the Huangyuan Post Office. Jin Bo follows him to do some odd jobs at the post office. However, Jin Bo’s house is not spacious. But it's too much trouble for others.
The second is Sun Shaoping's distant uncle Ma Shun, who is in the Yanggou brigade in Beiguan, but this relative is a bit too far away. In the original book, Sun Shaoping found his first job through Ma Shun, but it also caused some conflicts.
Shen Long also gave up this plan. Apart from not liking Ma Shun's family very much, he was also worried that, just like in the original book, he would be treated as his son-in-law by Secretary Cao of the Yanggou Brigade.
So there is only one choice left for him, that is the poet Jia Bing. ...
