Chapter 241

The sea level is white, and the sun is hiding in the morning mist and is getting up lazy. Sea birds soar in the sea breeze, and the sounds are heard.

The four seasons in Haizhou are not clear, but in the early morning of late autumn, a cold breath was already gushing, and the gentle sea breeze could still feel a hint of coolness. The loaders and unloaders who were shuttled on the dock did not feel this way at all. They were sweating, their clothes were already wet, and the heavy cargo boxes made them feel exhausted. This was the beginning, and most of the ships of cargo needed to be transported.

Old Man Chen and Chen Ergou carried a cargo container toward the cargo ship, and the wooden boards at the dock squeaked with their steps. This pier is a deep-water pier, and it is still a distance from the cargo ship in front. The man walking towards him said kindly: "Old Chen, you have to eat steadily, don't let your waist go." Old Man Chen nodded with a smile. These are all colleagues who make a living on the dock, and they take good care of each other, so Old Man Chen can persist until now.

The pay for loaders is not very high, but the freight business is very prosperous at Haizhou Wharf. There are endless work to do every day, and as long as you have the strength, you can earn some money. You can save a house in three or five years. Of course, it is the most ordinary house next to Haizhou City, and it is also the south or north of the city. Many farmers come for this prospect, but Old Man Chen has worked on the wharf for seven or eight years but has not saved a house because his wife is sick all year round. In addition to living expenses, the money he earns has almost bought medicine for his wife. To this day, his son Chen Ergou has not yet obtained a wife's wife.

The sea breeze suddenly blew over, and Old Man Chen's body tightened slightly. His body was no longer as big as before. At this time, he felt a chill. Chen Ergou said, "Dad, are you okay?" Old Man Chen said, "I can still hold on." Just after two steps, Old Man Chen staggered forward and fell out. The cargo box suddenly hit the ground, and the heavy wooden board was smashed and thumped. At this time, a burly man walked over and hugged him.

Half of his body, holding a long whip in his hand, cursing: "You stupid pigs are not careful! You are the best fur guys. Can you afford to lose if they break it?" Before he finished speaking, he whipped it up without saying anything. With a "pop", Old Man Chen was already whipped, and his long robe was immediately cracked. Old Man Chen was only wearing a long robe. At this time, his clothes were completely cracked, and he saw the whip mark on his body, which was eye-catching.

Old Man Chen twitched in pain, and he struggled to get up. He felt the severe pain on his left leg, so he was a little unsteady and almost fell down again. Fortunately, Chen Ergou ran over at this time and held Old Man Chen and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Old Man Chen pointed to the box and said, "I think the wooden board was broken, and I fell down without standing." Chen Ergou saw that Old Man Chen's exposed calves were bleeding constantly, but he didn't know the severity of the injury. He hurriedly asked Old Man Chen to sit down. After the examination, he saw that it was just an external injury. He pulled off a piece from his long gown and bandaged it briefly before he stood up.

Seeing that my father was injured and humiliated, Chen Ergou couldn't swallow this. He turned around and pointed at the man who was squinted on his upper body and said angrily: "Qiu Fu, you are just a supervisor. Who told you to do whatever you want?" Qiu Fu cursed: "Every cargo on this ship is very expensive. You can't afford to break one or two pieces. Don't say that more than ten fur items were bumped into this box. If you were to break it, don't say that you didn't have wages, and even I was in trouble. If I don't beat you, who would I ask for my discounted wages?"

Chen Ergou was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say, and only said, "No matter what you say, you can't beat people!" Qiu Fu said with confidence: "Since I'm the one who works as a supervisor, if you broke one piece today, he broke a box and asked if this business can still make money? Manager Sun also earns money by one cent per cent. His money did not fall from the sky. Manager Sun said, 'If anyone doesn't work hard, get out immediately.'"

Old Man Chen pulled Chen Ergou and said, "Ergou, don't make trouble. I'm so stingy and I'm so whipped, it's okay!" Chen Ergou wanted to make sense, but seeing those brothers and elders who usually carry goods together, silently carrying boxes and not even dare to look at them, he immediately understood that these men from the countryside were timid and afraid of offending the rich and revenge, so he had to swallow his anger and say, "Dad, you're so hurt like this, you can't work. Why don't I help you sit next to you and go home with you after I finish my work."

Although Old Man Chen still wanted to work, he found that the injured leg was hurting so hard that it seemed to be difficult to walk, so he had to nod. Chen Ergou was about to help Old Man Chen leave, but Qiu Fu said coldly: "Even if you want to leave, you must move the box aside first. How can you work if you put other people in this way?"

Chen Ergou had to help Old Man Chen to the wooden stake by the dock to let him rest for a while, and then he went to move the box. Both of them were carrying the box, and it was even more difficult for one person to move. He used all his strength and only moved two feet away, and he was already out of breath. At this time, the man who was asking about it just now came over and said, "Ergou, I'll carry it over for you!"

Chen Ergou couldn't help but feel moved and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang!" The two of them raised the wooden bar again and said, "Rise up" the wooden box and immediately left the ground again. The man named Zhang said, "Ergou, why is your box so heavy?" Chen Ergou said, "I don't know. This is what he was like when he carried it out just now!"

The man surnamed Zhang murmured to himself: "This is not a fur, it's just a stone!"

The cargo was loaded at noon, and the cabin was filled with wooden boxes. The boatman was about to open the rope net to catch the cargo net, but saw a convoy sailing to the dock. At this time, a dark-faced man walked out of the first carriage of the convoy. He looked like a farmer, but he was wearing brocade silk, with a sachet and jade pendant hanging around his waist, making him look like a rich man. The man looked straight onto the cargo ship of Shop Sun, and asked with a smile: "Is Shop Sun here?"

A shipworker asked, "I wonder what this young man is looking for my shopkeeper?" The man said, "In the journey of the lunar month, I heard that Manager Sun passed through Haidian Town this time, and I happened to have a batch of goods to be transported there. I knew that Manager Sun's cargo ship was not full, so I wanted to ask Manager Sun for convenience."

The boatman smiled and said, "Young Master, wait for me to pass the message!" After a while, a middle-aged man in brocade and a bit literary atmosphere came out of the boat building. He smiled when he saw Wan Zhengcheng, "Sun Manager Sun's accountant, Mr. Su An, we have asked Manager Sun for instructions. However, Manager Sun said that the cargo ship was full and it was difficult to hold other goods. He also asked Boss Wan to accept it and plan another way." Su An said gentle but refused Wan Zhengcheng thousands of miles away in just a few words. Su An looked a little cold, and took out something from his arms and said, "Please ask Mr. Su to hand over this thing to Manager Sun. If Manager Sun insisted on refusing to accept Wan, he would naturally not force him."

Su An took it into his hand and saw that it was a piece of silk brocade, but he didn't care and said, "It's easy to say!"

Sun Yi was sitting on the second floor of the boat building and looking at the blue sea view of the window. His simple and elegant dress made him look like a scholar who was not talented, not a businessman. His fair face had an intriguing softness, as if he was tired of nothing, but his cold eyes were filled with a restrained and heart-wrenching spirit. Anyone would feel the intimidating momentum when he came to him.

Because it is a cargo ship, the ship building is not very big, only the size of three rooms. Compared with the space here, the bed at the end of the building looks a bit large and exaggerated, because it accounts for almost a quarter of the second-story ship building. The bed paved by Su Jin looks even more warm and comfortable. However, the bed is empty at this time, without the beautiful women wearing beautiful faces, and the smell of rouge and water powder.
