"Then I'm sorry about what he promised. How about we make another appointment tomorrow night?"

"You can do it before you can do it, of course you can do it before you can do it, so I'll see you later."

"goodbye."

Vernon walked out of the pier. According to past habits, I walked home or to school first, and he came to the shanty town adjacent to the pier. The people living there were basically dock workers and our families.

People like Vernon who can write, do arithmetic, and do statistics can get the position of recordkeeper. Although they are not required to move goods when the dock is busy, their salary is not much higher than that of ordinary dock workers.

.

In addition, once the dock is busy, ordinary workers will be fired by the foreman, but people like Vernon will be retained, because the former are easy to find, and they can be recruited temporarily if needed from time to time. Anyway, bankrupts and illegal immigrants are better than those on the street.

There are many dogs in the country, and throwing a bone can attract a bunch of them.

Vernon, who can maintain the efficiency of terminal operation, can temporarily recruit people.

This street is very messy, sewage is everywhere, and it is filled with a fishy smell. There are actually many places like this in York City, and they are all hidden in the corners of this metropolis.

"City people" who pass by and hide in front of them actively while walking in the city will automatically ignore this kind of place with their eyes.

Walking into the largest grocery store here, the fat and overweight proprietress greeted Vernon with a smile.

"Madam, would you like to borrow one of your trolleys later?"

"Of course, no problem. Vernon, have you really considered saving some money for yourself? After all, you won't find a girlfriend to get married in the future."

"You think he'll take it easy on that matter."

"How can he be patient? If Zhong doesn't have any savings, how can you boy be willing to follow Zhong?

Even if you know about Zhong's behavior, at least you will just sigh, Zhong Zhen is a vicious person, and then wave your hands and say goodbye to Zhong.

The girls you are referring to who have gone to school must be looking for an illegal immigrant boy like yours to get married to at this young age. He will only have to worry about the hair color of his previous children."

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. That bag of flour doesn't have bread, olive oil... or those."

"Okay, the total is 1890 real."

"Madam, you only have 1,800 reals in your pocket. Can you keep accounts now? I'll wait until you get your monthly salary."

You will make up for it."

"Okay, there's a problem. Although you want your son to fall in love with Zhong, you are willing to give it to Zhong on credit."

"Thank you, madam, you are also very vicious."

The food and daily necessities we bought were all placed on the cart. Vernon pushed me towards the depths of the slum. The child, who was older than him and was covered in filth, leaned over excitedly when he saw me appearing.

When I came here, he asked me if anyone was trying to steal something from the car, but he ended up helping me push the car. Obviously, this scene had happened to him once or twice.

Vernon knocked on the door, and a middle-aged woman walking on crutches walked out. Both of my trousers were empty.

My name is Awaifu. Seven months later, I was a porter on his team in Vernon. When the old rope broke and the container fell, he accidentally hit me.

He has always been very optimistic about me, and often said that God’s blessing allowed me to survive, but he only lost two legs, and another co-worker was smashed into a pulp.

"Hey, boss, you're here again." Awaifu greeted Vernon with a smile, "You had a premonition that you wouldn't come today, because when you got up, you were hit by the sunlight retreating from the gap in the roof.

Wake up, hehe."

"Awaifu, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will distribute these to those who need them one day, and then notify those who need to be re-examined one day. They will come to your place immediately, and the rest will not come today."

"What, is he having dinner at your house, boss?"

"You won't go to school later. Your sister asked you to help repair the roof and windows of the school building. As you know, winter won't come. The gods hope that the children will study outside the leaky classroom."

"Oh, yes, that's a small matter."

Vernon sat outside Awaifu's house for a long time. My yard is small, but the outside is full of clutter, which makes it very crowded. As soon as you see the doctor outside my house, people line up and leave.

.

Vernon charges medical fees when he sees a doctor there. Even so, for the few patients there, going to the pharmacy to buy medicine is unbearable. For this reason, Vernon will prescribe some traditional herbal medicine as much as possible.

The prices of those herbal medicines are not cheap.

Everyone there praised Vernon for his good medical skills. Very few people's conditions were cured before they received my diagnosis and treatment. It even once attracted many people outside to look for a miracle doctor there.

But Vernon would treat people inside, and also asked people outside to help me hide my medical identity as much as possible. In Vernon's words:

"Oh, please make sure he doesn't give you publicity. If he has a license to practice medicine, he won't be caught!"

After seeing the patients, Vernon stood up and I was about to go to school, but when I walked to the door, I saw a row of women standing inside.

Awaifu smiled and said, "Boss, it's all of his own free will. Anyway, there is work now, so let us accompany you to repair the school. After all, when those children grow smaller, he won't go to the place where the eldest sisters of the gods are."

It’s learned in school.”

"Thank you, Xiaojia. Please come with me, Xiaojia."

Vernon brought a group of people to the school. It was a private school, but unlike the traditional private schools that were lower-end than public schools, the conditions there were very luxurious. There were only eight teachers in the school among them.

Once upon a time, the school's expenses rarely need to be supported by street donations.

Work goes slowly when there are fewer people. After ten o'clock, the little guy repaired the roof, doors and windows. It looked beautiful, but at least he was too worried about air leakage in winter.

"Xiaojia, please come over for dinner someday, and you can cook noodles for Xiaojia."

The gods greeted Xiaojia coldly. Your and Vernon's home is right next door to the school.

"Okay, he's really hungry."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it."

Vernon left the kitchen and asked, "Is there enough flour?"

"I should have enough, but today I specially bought a bag of bread crumbs and dipped them in the soup to eat them."

"That's good."

"Go and get some briquettes back for you."

"As you command, your sister."

Vernon walked out, and after a while, I opened the kitchen door again and stepped back.

Xu Yuan looked at me and saw that my hands were empty, and asked doubtfully, "Where are the briquettes?"

"He was so unprepared that we all went back secretly."

"Oh, you should stay inside and watch us."

"His, your negligence."

"Just be careful, tonight you will eat tomato-flavored noodles, and there won't even be any tomatoes."

"Cook less soup and drink it every year."

"Is it because he drinks soup that he can't feel full, haha."

"Gods, he should say it so plainly, otherwise you will have a way to deceive yourself, haha."

"By the way, do you still remember what you said in the previous interview about your student who has no eye disease?"

"Remember, he said you, the older boy, have no talent in arithmetic."

"His, your eye disease has worsened. He should receive treatment as soon as possible. You may have to spend the rest of your life in darkness."

"Oh, that's such a sad thing. It's a pity that you don't have enough money to send you to the hospital for surgery."

"But, actually, he can't treat you.

Vernon was stunned for a day and asked: "Do you know the consequences of doing that? It means that you can pass the test I have left for you."

"You know, but you feel that the test and victory are nothing compared to your boy's eyes for a lifetime. I am sure that he will treat you now, and he may see you again for the rest of your life."

"Have you not thought about it yet, gods?"

"His, you have to think about it."

"Think about it, let's do it."

"Huh?" The gods looked at Vernon in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"You are very strange. In fact, your idea has been brewing in your mind for a long time, but you always thought that what you said to Zhong would be dissuaded by you."

"Dissuade Zhong? Oh, of course he will. Also, you don't tell Zhong Yi your secret."

"secret?"

"Before now, you and I would treat people outside Awaifu, but now complex medicines and herbs can quickly cure our illnesses, so you would sneak into our house secretly at night and use dark magic to

Give us treatment.

Just like this time, Awaifu, without your help in treating me, I would have died of wound infection long ago."

"middle……"

"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"

"Has he cared about the test since early in the morning?"
