Plane Supermarket

Chapter 188

The slums are crowded with people, but those who can walk, and those who can still walk, are crowded in front of the small table at the entrance of the supermarket, waiting for interviews to apply for the construction of the staff dormitory that has just laid the foundation.

After registering a person’s name, Cao’er looked up and said to him: “Go to the back, if you have no experience, you can only start with handling materials, and then you can change your job to adjust your salary. Now it’s 1000 yuan a month, including two meals a day. , not including accommodation.”

The person who applied for the job thanked him again and again, his face flushed red: "Thank you, thank you, I will..."

Cao'er has already shouted to the people behind: "Next."

The people behind immediately pushed away the one who had already joined, and squeezed in front of Cao'er.

Cao'er looked him up and down, shook his head and said, "You can't, next."

"Why can't I?!" The person who was rejected was unwilling to leave. He supported the table with one hand, and couldn't help coughing while asking. He was clearly asking, but the expression on his face seemed to be about to cry.

Cao'er softened for a moment, but immediately said with a straight face: "Don't affect other people, your body is too weak to do physical work."

After finishing speaking, Cao'er winked at Zhou Wen who was standing next to him. Zhou Wen understood, and dragged this person away from the team with one hand, and took him to the other side.

They provide jobs to give these people a chance to survive in the slums where they can't earn any potatoes.

If people with poor health are allowed to come over, their death will be accelerated, not to mention that Cao'er knows in her heart that once they start to pity the weak and help unconditionally, their own condition will also deteriorate.

Even if Zhao Qing doesn't care, other forces in the base will not agree.

In the fight now, only these low-level people who have no self-protection ability will be injured.

Those who were selected rejoiced, and those who were not selected could only leave in despair. Cao'er felt uncomfortable watching it, so she had to stop herself from watching.

"Start work tomorrow." Cao'er registered another name, "Once a cheater is found out, his salary for the month will not be paid, and he will not be given another chance in the future. Do you understand?"

The man kept nodding: "I know I know!"

Those who were selected were already considered to be in poor health, and those who were not selected were even worse. Those who were not selected were almost to the point where they would collapse when the wind blew. As if it could kill them.

Less than 100 people registered after a busy morning.

Cao'er had to go back to the supermarket while eating lunch, so that no one outside could see her.

"It shouldn't take too many people." Zhou Wen held a bowl of rice and said while eating: "Only [-] people are enough for a dormitory."

Cao’er also eats rice bowls, but the taste is different from Zhou Wen’s. Recently, the two of them have been running outside every day, and both of them have darkened by more than one degree. If it’s not for the facial features and body of Asians, it’s not against the law to go to Africa, Cao’er After taking a sip of water, he said, "This is the kindness of an immortal."

"If the wages are set low, we can hire more people." Cao'er sighed, "Because the wages are low, I only provide two meals for them."

"If the salary of [-] is maintained, Zhao Qing must have something to say."

Zhou Wen looked outside the glass door. There were so many people sitting in the open space under the scorching sun. Many of them didn't have lunch, and those who had lunch looked much better physically than those who didn't. , Zhou Wen sighed: "Isn't it that the better the better, the worse the worse?"

Weak people have no chance of standing up.

Cao'er put down the bowl in her hand. She knew that Zhou Wen was over the top, and said sternly, "Brother Zhou, you can't think that way. Immortals can save what they want, just like us."

How many people suffered in the Liang Dynasty at that time?

But they were the only ones who were saved, and more people died on the way to escape.

Cao'er said, "Even if they are all registered, how many of them will survive?"

Zhou Wen sighed, he didn't speak any more, but ate all the food in the bowl without taste.

Those who suffer never waste food.

After eating, several people did not rest and continued to go out to register.

People in the slums, no matter how they are physically, want to hold their chests up during interviews, and even push out chicken breasts, which makes people feel sad.

Ye Zhou watched from a distance, he didn't go there, since he has decided to hand over this matter to Cao'er, then he will trust her.

Although of all people, he is the only one who is the most suitable for the job.After all, in all the planes he experienced before, he was making decisions and directing. The initial soft-heartedness and sensibility have been replaced by almost cruel rationality.

He realized a long time ago that he is not a god and cannot save everyone.

You must learn to choose.

"Is it hot?" Ye Zhou took Huoxiangzhengqi liquid from his bag and handed it to the boy standing beside him, "Drink one."

The boy didn't ask any questions after taking it, and poured it directly into his mouth, and then his facial features squeezed together.

"It's not very tasty, but it's useful." Ye Zhou smiled and took the bottle back.

Ye Zhou: "From tomorrow onwards, we will make herbal tea for them in the morning and afternoon, and we will not work during the hottest two hours at noon."

The boy's voice was not loud: "They will all thank you."

Ye Zhou smiled, he didn't care much whether others thanked him or not.

"I just do what I want." Ye Zhou took the boy's hand and walked back, "When you grow up, you will know that not everyone and things will develop in the way you think, as long as you care about your current situation. Just feel it."

"Just do what you do, don't worry about whether you get what you want." Ye Zhou said, "Just don't regret it right now."

The boy nodded thoughtfully.

Ye Zhou led the boy through the crowd, Zhao Lei's men were selling mineral water on the street.

He estimated that he had already sold a lot to the leaders of different forces, but the subordinates of those forces could not share them, so they could only buy them with their own money, and each person had a limited amount. Zhao Lei's popularity suddenly increased, and his status also A rising tide lifts all boats.

Ye Zhou looked at the tall building, everything was going according to Zhao Qing's idea.

He wanted Zhao Lei to die, but he didn't want to do it himself, so he gave Zhao Lei whatever he wanted.

Ye Zhou looked down at Zou Ming who was looking forward.

He remembered that Zou Ming said that Zou Ming was the ruler of this base in the end.

What was the base like when Zou Ming ruled?

Are people at the bottom still being oppressed?

Do all parties still exist?

But he can't get an answer now, he can only get the answer from Zou Ming after leaving this plane.

"People who have a good relationship with you can move to the dormitory in the future." Ye Zhou thought for a while, and still treated the boy as an adult, and said to him seriously, "I won't stay here forever. After I leave, The dormitory and supermarket branches will be handed over to you, and you must have your own people to be able to protect yourself."

The boy was taken aback, and he stopped, holding Ye Zhou's hand trembling slightly, and after a few seconds, he asked with trembling lips, "Are you going?"

Ye Zhou: "Yes, I won't stay in one place for long."

Although I don't know why they didn't contact each other after Zou Ming said that since he left the branch.

But what should be given, Ye Zhou will still give.

As for whether the branch was destroyed or something happened, it was beyond his control.

After this period of time, the boy is almost out of the ranks of illiterates. He now knows and can write more than 800 characters. According to the standards of the Ye Zhou plane, as long as he can recognize and write [-] to [-] characters, he is no longer illiterate. .

And in addition to literacy, boys can now do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

In this plane where the illiteracy rate is ridiculously high, and where the per capita prenatal education graduates, boys can already be regarded as high-achieving students.

Every three days, the boy would go out, and Ye Zhou thought he should be visiting his friends in the slums.

Ye Zhou also knew that the boy would save water and food, but Ye Zhou didn't ask, let alone stop him, because he was worried that the boy would starve himself, so he just silently provided the boy with more.

But this is also within Ye Zhou's expectation. After all, in his opinion, Zou Ming is a gentle person, but he didn't have the opportunity to be gentle before.

He also didn't feel that the boy was borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, after all, Zou Ming would have to pay for it in the future.

Zou Ming just came to his side, but he let Zou Ming do almost everything, the salary is still low, and Zou Ming has to work part-time as his coach.

"You still have to come back before eight o'clock tonight." Ye Zhou took the boy to rest at home until ten o'clock in the morning.

The boy has already prepared his own small backpack, and every time Ye Zhou sees him like this, he feels extremely cute.

The boy nodded, and he turned to look at Ye Zhou: "I will."

Ye Zhou waved to him: "Go."

As soon as the door opened and closed, the boy went out, while Ye Zhou was lying on the sofa watching TV. Because he only cared about the children, all he downloaded were cartoons, and Ye Zhou didn't pick anything. He ate ice cream while watching.

Sarah came out of the room, and she sat next to Ye Zhou.

Realizing that Ye Zhou didn't pay much attention to herself, Sarah couldn't bear it anymore and said, "You are with him every day!"

Ye Zhou heard Sarah's dissatisfaction, so he could only sit up and coax, "Aren't we together every day? We live together, and we can see each other anytime."

Sarah was even more dissatisfied: "That's different!"

She danced and said, "When I was over there before, I didn't pester you like this!"

She was independent then!

Sarah despised Zou Ming: "He was so hateful when he was young!"

Ye Zhou: "..."

He didn't know what to say at all, after all, if Zou Ming was miserable, Sarah was even worse before.

Sarah said angrily: "You are eccentric, eccentric!"

Ye Zhou knew he was wrong, so he could only coax people more seriously: "Look, I can take you away, but I can't take him away. He is too young, not an adult, and has no guardian. He will be left alone when I leave. .”

Sarah didn't listen at all, she turned her head, and there was a cry in her voice: "You are biased!"

After speaking, he stood up, ran to the room with two short legs, and after closing the door, there was a loud cry.

Ye Zhou was dumbfounded.

He also didn't know why Sarah broke out at this time.

What's more, he doesn't feel that he is partial.

Is he biased?

But no matter whether he is biased or not, he has something to do this morning, so he can only obediently coax the children.

·

The man staggered back to the "home", and as soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to tell the people waiting for him in the "home", "I've been chosen!"

He lived in a shed made of rags. Although it was a rag shed, he didn’t use much cloth, and more of it was dead grass and branches. Fortunately, it didn’t rain here, otherwise such a shed would not be able to last for a while. heavy rain.

Because there are many haystacks, it can also provide shade.

The person lying in the shed was also happy, and he squeezed out a smile while enduring the pain: "Good, good, great."

The man got into the shed and carefully dug out a box of instant rice from the ground. After taking out the rice and the food bag, he tore a small hole in the water bag, and then dragged the man's head with one arm, and slowly put the Water was fed into the man's mouth.

The little that remains is the man's own.

"Food is included!" the man whispered, "They all said that water will be provided."

"I just don't know if the dormitory has our share."

The man was not very hopeful: "Probably not, but take this opportunity to save a little more money, and now the tin house can be bought with money, it costs five thousand!"

Man: "Too expensive."

But he still had a smile on his face when he said that.

In the past, the tin house only needed a bottle of water, but they couldn't save this bottle of water at all.

The water I earn every day is not enough to drink by myself, and I can't save it at all, but although it is expensive now, at least I can see hope.

The man added: "Listen to them, maybe they can buy tin buckets and build houses by themselves in the future."

The current tin houses are also cut open by someone, hammered flat with a hammer, and then used to build houses.

The old man lying in the man's arms coughed lightly, nodded with a smile and said, "It would be nice to have a house."

With a house, they have a home, and with a home, they can live well in even the worst days, and they have a way to live.

It is rare for people in the slums to go to bed early and prepare to go to the construction site to report before dawn.

Those who have not applied for the job still have to find a way to make money at night.

Even people who come to play in the slums find it much cooler today than usual.

The tall man kicked open the door of a metal house, and the woman inside immediately got up from the bed. She panicked for only two seconds, and then walked over with a smile on her face.

"Why didn't you open the door?" The man frowned at the woman in a questioning tone.

The woman quickly went to hold the man's arm, she said cautiously: "I don't feel well, I want to rest for a day."

The man has a good temper, and he didn't get angry because of it, but he didn't let the woman go.

After everything was over, the man took out a piece of bread from the cloth pocket he brought, threw it to the woman and said, "Be careful these few days, Zhao Lei is probably coming over."

The woman was taken aback, she quickly concealed her expression, hugged the man's waist, and leaned her head on the man's back: "He hasn't been here for a long time."

The man sneered: "He was busy before and didn't have time to come here. Now that everything is done, of course he wants to come here to have fun."

"Anyway, be careful."

The man put on his trousers and left the iron house. Only the woman returned to the bed and lay down. She bit her short nails that almost sank into her flesh, hesitated for a while before getting dressed, and left the room with a stooped figure.

Why did the man before her tell her this news.

Zhao Lei killed the man's girlfriend.

His girlfriend was no longer in the slums at that time, and followed him to the inner city. The two young people probably thought that good times were coming, and even if they had no children, they could have a small family.

But Zhao Lei fell in love with his girlfriend.

After that, there is no need to think about it. After the girlfriend's accident, the man seemed to be the same as Zhao Lei's other subordinates in the future, and he often came to the slums, and he always went out to grab supplies with Zhao Lei.

He also stopped talking about the past, as if his girlfriend had never been there.

The woman felt that he was cruel, but she couldn't say anything about his cowardice. Those who lived here died without being cowardly.

After walking a short distance, the woman knocked on the door of a metal house and called softly, "It's me."

The door opened quickly, opening a crack, and the woman squeezed through the crack.

As soon as the door was closed, the woman said, "Zhao Lei will come over in a couple of days."

"Really?" The owner of the house was a little surprised after hearing the news, "You sit down first, I'll call someone over."

The slums have their own news network, especially among the women. Any woman who lives in a metal house will be pulled in quickly even if she is not in the news network at the beginning. protect yourself.

Soon, all the women in the center of the network were present.

"Don't tell it. After tonight, you all forget about it." The last woman who came in told everyone, "No matter what happens in the future, you should pretend that you don't know about it. Do you hear me?"

The women nodded.

But someone still asked in a low voice: "Is someone going to deal with Zhao Lei?"

"Can you handle it?"

"Zhao Lei brings many people with him every time he comes here, and he also carries a gun with him."

"What if it doesn't work? Will he blame us?"

"Who will he go to?"

The women looked at each other, their eyes widened in horror, and they tightly grasped the hands of the people around them in fear: "Zhao Lei will kill her."

Even if they don't know who this "she" is, but because they don't know, it may be anyone here.

"This matter has nothing to do with us." The woman sternly reprimanded, "Just leave this room and forget about it! If it is revealed, you will not end well."

The women struggled to calm down.

After an unknown amount of time, someone asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "Zhao Lei...will he really die?"

Everyone looked at her.

The woman shrank her neck, but said firmly: "If he dies, we will be much safer."

"No one will give us justice. If he dies, he will die. As long as he doesn't die, we will die every time he comes."

No one answered.

The women did not talk for long, they left the tin house very quickly, unlike the men, even though they had found a job, passed the interview, and could go to work on the construction site, but at night, as long as someone kicked open their door, they would It is still false and false.

They had no place to hide, they didn't want to be beaten, they couldn't die, so they could only swallow the blood and tears in their stomachs, and greeted them with smiles on their faces.

After everyone left, the woman quietly walked to the door of the supermarket.

She hesitated again and again, but finally mustered up the courage to go in.

This is her and the boy's secret, and the boy has repeatedly told her not to let the people in the supermarket know about it, otherwise she will not have extravagant hopes in the staff dormitory in this life.

The woman saw the employees in the supermarket packing up their things, and after going through the nonsense in her mind again, the woman opened the door and walked in.

Cao'er raised her head when she heard the movement, she put down the rag in her hand and walked towards the woman: "The door will be closed soon, if you really need it, take it back first, and come back tomorrow morning to pay the bill."

After all, she is a temporary worker in a supermarket, and Cao'er is not worried about the other party's repudiation.

The woman quickly waved her hand and said, "No, I'm not here to buy anything."

"I have something to tell the boy."

The boy has no name, and his mother died before he could name him. No one gave him a name, and he didn’t choose one himself, so those who know him, calling him is no different from calling other children, they are all called brats .

Cao'er didn't take it seriously: "You tell me, I'll go back and tell him."

The woman quickly uttered a lie that she had prepared long ago: "He asked me to help find his mother's belongings, but the other party said he wouldn't give it if he didn't see it. Can you let him come to me tomorrow?"

"Okay." Cao'er did not doubt him, "I'll go back and tell him, go and rest."

The woman looked at Cao'er's expression, and turned to leave after making sure that Cao'er was not suspicious.

Cao'er picked up the rag to tidy up again, and said to Zhou Wen while wiping the counter: "Brother Zou is actually pretty good. He came out of the quagmire by himself, and he still misses his former friends and those who helped him."

Zhou Wen thought of Zou Ming, who was called a devil in training before, shuddered, and then whispered: "It's still cute when I was young."

Zou Ming will call him uncle now when he sees him!

It's not like before, when training, I almost hang myself up and beat me.

After cleaning up the supermarket and closing the door, Cao'er, Zhou Wen and the others went back to their residence together.

She went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and then gently knocked on the boy's door after changing into her pajamas.

The boy fell asleep early, and Cao'er thought that if he fell asleep, she would wake up tomorrow morning and talk to him again.

But less than ten seconds after she knocked on the door, the door was opened.

And she didn't hear footsteps the whole time.

"Scare me." Cao'er was startled by the sudden opening of the door, and looked down at the boy hiding in the darkness.

For a moment, her hair stood on end, feeling that she had spied some secret.

But soon, the boy's voice brought her back to reality: "Is there something wrong?"

Cao'er patted her chest, and said softly: "He Yu asked me to tell you that she has found your mother's relic, but the person who holds the relic will only give it to you if she sees you, so you can go there tomorrow. Find her."

The boy nodded: "Got it."

Cao'er: "Go to bed early, I'm going to rest too, do you want me to accompany you tomorrow? You may be in danger alone."

"No." The boy quickly replied, "This is my business."

Cao'er was a little sad, she wanted to do something for Brother Zou, after all Brother Zou had helped her so much, she thought she could take this opportunity to repay him, but the boy didn't give her a chance at all.

Hey, it seems that we can only wait until later.

After closing the door, the boy couldn't fall asleep.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at his hands.

His fingers are very thin, the palm is not wide enough, he is still weak.

But that didn't stop him from doing what he had already decided.

He wanted Zhao Lei to die on these hands.
