Chapter 14 Nothing Can Be Hidden from A Yuan
Chapter 14 Nothing Can Be Hidden from A Yuan
Originally, it was just that Lin Yuanshan was going to live there, but now there are also Tie Tou and Xiao Tu.
Even though Xiao Tu spent an afternoon tidying up and making some room, Wu Shih-hao's rented room still couldn't accommodate so many people.
Therefore, Wu Shih-hao told Si-yan-wen to go out and find a new place to stay.
They packed their personal belongings and moved out that very night.
Except for one person, everyone must take turns working the night shift at the Shek Kip Mei flower stall.
Wu Shih-hao's rented room can accommodate at least five people, which is considered a "luxury house" in Kowloon Walled City.
Now that only Lin Yuanshan and the other two are left, there is even more space.
Even after finishing his meal, Tie Tou went to find wooden and plastic boards to partition off a small room for the little rabbit.
Nothing was said that night, except for Ironhead's snoring, which sounded like thunder.
Both Xiao Tu and Lin Yuanshan didn't go to sleep until late at night.
The little rabbit lost its only relative on the same day, but then met two more "relatives" it could rely on.
She was worried that all of this might be just a dream, and she was also worried that she might be abandoned by Lin Yuanshan if she didn't perform well one day. She was so anxious that she couldn't sleep.
Lin Yuanshan had only one yuan left in his pocket, and there was still a lot to do.
Lin Yuanshan leaned against the headboard with a kerosene lamp lit, a pencil in his hand.
He recalled the information he had about Hong Kong in this era before he traveled back in time;
While pondering what to do if, by some coincidence, there was no further news from the other side by tomorrow, what alternative plans should be developed?
Time passed by unnoticed, and it wasn't until around five o'clock that Lin Yuanshan finally lay down and slept for a while.
Tie Tou's biological clock hasn't yet shifted away from his job as a rickshaw puller.
No alarm clock needed, 6 a.m.
This simpleton got up on time, washed up, and prepared to go downstairs to buy breakfast.
It turned out that the little rabbit had gotten up sometime earlier and had even cooked the white porridge.
"Little Rabbit, you're a child, you don't need to get up so early." Tie Tou yawned, picked up a rooster bowl, and came over to scoop out some porridge for himself.
The little rabbit shook its head, sat down at the dining table, and looked at him with its chin in its hand.
Tie Tou knew that this girl was a woman of few words. Yesterday, apart from exchanging a few words with Lin Yuanshan, she didn't answer a single question, no matter how Aunt Liu asked her while she was taking a bath.
Tie Tou ate three bowls of plain porridge with pickled vegetables. When he was about to get a fourth bowl, Xiao Tu covered the pot with the lid.
"Our benefactor hasn't eaten yet."
"Yuan Shao can only eat one bowl at most, and you still have half a pot left?"
"No, it won't taste good if there's not enough porridge in the pot."
"Okay, so what about you? Have you eaten yet?"
"I'll eat the leftovers after you've finished eating."
Faced with Little Rabbit's resolute gaze, Iron Head listlessly put down his rooster bowl: "By the time you two finish eating, I'll have already digested the three bowls I ate earlier."
"Little rabbit, give it to him to eat."
"He won't shut up until he's full." Lin Yuanshan pinched the bridge of his nose and got off the bed.
Tie Tou chuckled, and Xiao Tu glared at him angrily, but still listened to Lin Yuanshan and lifted the pot lid to let him serve the porridge.
Lin Yuanshan quickly finished washing up and picked up his bowl: "Little Rabbit, you eat too."
I'm not one for many rules. From now on, I'll eat as soon as the food is cooked, without waiting for everyone to be there.
Because most of the time, neither you nor your brother Tie Tou will have time to come back for dinner.
Also, don't keep calling me my benefactor, just call me Brother Yuan.
When we're not home, please lock the door and stay inside.
Unfortunately, we can't find your birth certificate, so you're currently unregistered and can't attend a regular school.
After a while, I'll find a place where you can learn to write and do arithmetic.
That way, you can be of help when we need you to do something in the future. Let's leave it at that for now; we'll help you with your immigration status later.
"Okay, Young Master Yuan, I'll be good." The little rabbit hugged the bowl, trembling with excitement.
Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door.
Tie Tou, carrying a bowl, walked to the door: "Who is it?"
"Excuse me, does A Yuan from Chenghai live here?"
"If so, tell him that Aru from Fengru Teahouse has arrived." A cool voice came from behind the door.
Lin Yuanshan put down his bowl: "Brother Tietou, open the door."
Tie Tou opened the door in response, and saw Qiao Ru standing gracefully in the doorway, dressed in a plain cheongsam.
Also present were two young men in short jackets, who appeared to be members of a gang, standing on either side of Qiaoru.
"Haha, Sister Ru, please come in quickly."
"If I'm not mistaken, the matter I entrusted to you last time should be settled." Lin Yuanshan got up and walked to the sofa. Xiao Tu quickly cleared the table, her thoughtfulness was heartbreaking.
Qiaoru instructed the two young men to stay at the door, then walked in with a smile: "Oh, how did you figure that out? What if it doesn't work out?"
"Haha, what do you think?"
Let me first look at these two brothers you brought.
These two don't act like those lowlifes who are always bullying others.
That day, I remember you, Sister Ru, saying that you wanted to find Chao Yongyi, the person in charge of Shek Kip Mei, to help me talk about this matter.
Today you come to the Walled City to find me, accompanied by a group of people who are calm and capable.
There's only one possibility: Sister, you've already met your sworn brother, the rotten-life scoundrel.
Those two men at the gate were sent by him to protect you as you enter the city.
Looking at your expression again, I saw that you hadn't even entered the room, yet your words were tinged with a smile.
You made it clear beforehand that day that if you asked Brother Ju to intervene, the gift money would not be refunded regardless of whether the matter succeeded or not.
If things go wrong, they'll need to bring people to force me to admit to the two hundred yuan.
If you, Sister Ru, had come in today, you wouldn't have acted this way. At the very least, you would have apologized before discussing anything else.
"You're all smiles now, of course you've got things done and are here to give me good news!" Lin Yuanshan said, then grabbed the Governor's table from the coffee table and threw it at Tie Tou standing in the doorway: "Even though you're a guest once you enter, once you're at the door, you're a friend! Here, have some cigarettes, you idiot!"
Leaving aside the two members of the Chao Yongyi, they looked surprised when they heard Lin Yuanshan's words, and smiled as they accepted the cigarettes that Tie Tou handed them.
Even Qiaoru, who had intended to keep Lin Yuanshan in suspense and wait to see his surprised expression, felt a sense of frustration.
This kid is clearly not that old, so why can he always see through people's hearts?
Qiaoru lit a cigarette for herself, and stopped wasting time.
She took a business card out of her handbag and placed it on the coffee table: "Ah Yuan, Brother Ju has already reached an agreement with Director Xu. There are currently no vacancies for technical positions."
However, the warehouse coordinator at the Shixiawei branch of Huanghe Plastics Factory made a mistake.
Brother Ju helped you get it done; you'll be in charge of four people when you go.
The probationary period is 3 months with a monthly salary of 120 yuan. After becoming a full-time employee, the salary will be increased to 180 yuan.
No need to sweat profusely while moving goods; you only need to register the inflow and outflow of inventory in two warehouses each day: raw materials and finished products.
If there's anything to do, just ask those four workers to do it.
As for loading and unloading, those were all handled by Brother Ju's men, most of whom were Teochew natives.
With your brains and your mouth, everyone will definitely support you, my fellow villager.
No need to worry about being harassed at work, so how about it, is this position acceptable?
