Chapter 26

Zhao Wenye felt that since his cousin song TIANYAO handed him the packet of cigarettes on the dock this morning, it seemed that the whole world was a little different.

He had returned to the ship to unload, but before he unloaded a few bags of Thai rice, his boss, brother slag, hurried over and called himself ashore.

"Ah ye, why didn't you see your uncle come to the dock to start work today? Is he old and sick? Really, tell me, this is his salary yesterday. I forgot to take it when I left. You give it to him today and inform him to take care of himself slowly. During the rest period, the salary will be counted as his share. If you have a good rest, you can start work on time. Weng Bo is old, The 24-year-old brother slag pulled Zhao Wenye to a quiet corner, took out a pile of scattered banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Zhao Wenye's hand.

Zhao Wenye looked at the pile of change with a hundred and ten yuan in his hand. He wanted to ask, it was a big man yesterday. You drove your uncle back from the dock because your cousin was rejected by the police school. How did your uncle become sick today, rest at home, and get paid during the rest?

The whole wharf, not to mention coolies, is a leader of Chao Yongyi like brother slag. If he doesn't start work for a day, he can't get a salary for a day. As a leader, the only thing he can do is to arrange some easy work, and then ask the chips to help him calculate more chips for himself.

And listen to brother slag's words, his uncle went back to the dock to start work, and directly went to be the funder?

"Brother slag, I......" Zhao Wenye was made by the kindness suddenly shown by his boss. He didn't know what to say.

Brother slag looked around and said in a low voice, "ah ye, what have I done to you since you followed me?"

"The boss takes good care of me and has nothing to say." Zhao Wenye truthfully said that he has taken care of himself. He knows that his mother has only one son. If he meets him occasionally when raising money, he will let the chips take care of Zhao Wenye and help Zhao Wenye count more chips.

Brother slag sighed: "Didn't you say yesterday that your cousin, ah Yao, was rejected by the police school? Today, it was my boss. Your top master, brother Ju, made a special trip to wait for him at the dock. Brother 10 took him into the account room of Liheng firm to meet uncle en, the steward of the Chu family. Brother Ju has asked me what the hell is going on. Secretary song's direct cousin followed him. He didn't have any impression. I don't think the boss looks very good. Wait Next, if he asks you to ask questions, for my sake of being kind to you, don't tell me what happened yesterday. If the boss knows that I drove Secretary song's Lao Dou away from the dock yesterday, maybe he can castrate me with his two knives. "

"Secretary song? You mean brother Yao?" Zhao Wenye repeated the title: "when did brother Yao become a secretary? I don't know."

"Now, brother, whether you know it or not, you must help me with what happened yesterday. It's a big deal. Next time the guild takes a post, I'll propose to promote you as a red stick." brother slag said with a sad face.

Zhao Wenye clenched the money in his hand and said to brother slag, "don't worry, boss. I won't talk disorderly. Brother Yao asked me to have dinner at his house tonight. I'll help you make things clear."

"I'll be happy with you." brother slag breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he would take good care of Zhao Wenye on weekdays. If he made trouble for him, maybe today is his day of retribution. Ghosts can think of it. The cabin youth who was rejected yesterday has become the Secretary of Chu jialikang firm today.

Zhao Wenye collected the money and returned to the cargo ship. Sure enough, within half an hour, he saw the rotten foal coming, wearing a silk T-shirt, a gold chain around his neck, and an emerald trigger on his thumb.

Big men in the Jianghu have been wearing gold chains and wrenches in recent years. No matter whether they have deposits or not, even if they borrow money, they will wear a small finger thick chain around their neck. This gold chain is not to show off, but to stand beside their body in case of an accident. For example, if there is an accident in the community, they need to temporarily wear grass (run away) , if you don't have time to raise money for a while, then this gold chain can be sent to pawnshops or silver banks for cash.

"Ah ye, come and have a chat." Lan Mingju stood on the shore and smiled at Zhao Wenye, who was carrying rice bags on the cargo ship.

"Brother Ju." Zhao Wenye hurriedly jumped ashore and stood respectfully in front of the rotten horse.

Although brother slag has said that his cousin is the Secretary of the Chu family Likang firm, he didn't listen to song TIANYAO and didn't dare to take it seriously. Yesterday, he thought that his cousin would be admitted to the police school and released the news in advance. In the end, his cousin and uncle and aunt became the laughing stock of the wooden house area, so he is good now and calm down as if nothing had happened.

Lanmingju took a colorful cigarette from his pocket and threw it to Zhao Wenye. He waved to other curious coolies and told them to stay away before he said to Zhao Wenye:

"How long have you been in the tide?"

Zhao Wenye didn't light the cigarette in his hand and said to the rotten life Ju, "brother Ju, it's been seven months."

"Listen to ah Zha. You're the only man in your family. Can you live? If you have any problems, remember to talk to the guild. When you enter the prefix, everyone will be your brothers. Your parents are my parents. This oath is not spoken casually." Rotten life Ju looked at Zhao Wenye in front of him and slowed down his tone as much as possible, but he was a rude man. Even if he tried to press his mind, he still gave people a feeling of eagerness in his words.

"Brother Ju, brother slag and my brothers take good care of me. I always keep it in mind."

"I asked ah Zha. Ah Zha said that you are very loyal. Every time the wharf competes for territory, you rush to the front. The guild is very fair. You can contribute if you are willing to contribute. From tomorrow, you will take six brothers to go around the port with the oil tanker of Liheng firm." Lan Mingju said this, bowed his head, took a cigarette out of the cigarette box and bit it in his mouth. Then he raised his head and looked at Zhao Wenye.

Zhao Wenye's head buzzed. Businessmen like smuggling best because of the high profit of smuggling. However, for the Jianghu people of these associations, the most painful thing is to follow the smuggling ships. The waters of Hong Kong are not safe. Now, although the British Navy claims that there are no traces of pirates, there are several sea bandits along the line between Hong Kong and Macao, which are called Da Tian'er, which are composed of Kuomintang troops, Different from the underworld gangs, these big days don't pay attention to morality and rules. Even the ship of Chu family, President of Chaozhou chamber of Commerce, can't be robbed by them. If they dare to resist, they will immediately wash the cargo ship and leave no one alive.

Therefore, it is the most dangerous job to work with smuggling ships in the community.

The safest and safest place for oil and water is to follow the merchant's cargo ships around the port. The so-called port bypass means that the cargo ships carry the counted goods and deliver goods throughout the port, such as sending 1000 bags of rice or 500 barrels of grain and oil from the central wharf to the Sham Shui Po Wharf in Kowloon. This kind of work has no risk, because there is no need to go to sea at all, but only loading and unloading goods between several wharves in Hong Kong, The most important thing is to prevent other gangs from getting into trouble. Besides, it is rich in oil and water. The merchant pays attention to pumping one thousand bags of rice with the cargo ship, that is, the merchant loads and unloads one thousand bags of rice, of which one bag belongs to the Jianghu people who follow the ship. If you are diligent all day, three or four thousand bags of rice or grain and oil are no problem. Even if Zhao Wenye's brother with the ship counts seven people to share these rice, grain and oil, It's also more than just working hard on the dock, and since rotten foal let him lead the team, naturally he took the most.

This kind of work can't even be robbed by his big brother, brother slag. All the fierce people who have sold their lives and shed blood for Chao Yong will be arranged by brother 10. After all, there are a fixed number of cargo ships around the port, and Chao Yong Yi is responsible for only a dozen cargo ships around the port.

Has the world really changed? Is there a day when such a poor person will turn over?
