Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

When passing by an alley, he heard some noises inside. According to Zhongshan's personality, he would have walked straight past it, but today he was so happy that his curiosity was aroused. He turned around and walked over. In the moonlight, he saw several people fighting with each other. A group of three or four people were surrounding one person. Although there was only one person and he was at a disadvantage, the person was more flexible and occasionally saw an opportunity to make a ruthless move, so the stalemate ended.

Zhong Shan lost his curiosity when he saw that it was a fight and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the leader of the group pick up a brick and say, "Li Mingliang, you can't run away today. I have to spend your money today."

Zhong Shan heard: Li Mingliang?

Taking a look at the person surrounded by the moonlight, it was indeed him. Zhong Shan approached the crowd quietly, suddenly rushed over and punched the leader in the head, and kicked the person next to him in the waist. While they were still not able to react, he shouted to Li Mingliang: "Li Mingliang, run!"

After saying that, he pulled Li Mingliang and ran out of the alley.

Speaking of which, although Zhong Shan had learned Sanda for a period of time in his previous life, he was not very good, only slightly stronger than ordinary people. Tonight it was completely because it was dark and the group of people did not see him, so they attacked him by surprise. In addition, after he traveled through time, he had been drinking water in the space, which improved his physical fitness and made him stronger, so he was able to rescue Li Mingliang.

The two ran for a while, left the people behind them behind, and then stopped, looking at each other while panting.

Li Mingliang said: "Thank you for saving me, buddy."

Zhong Shan looked at Li Mingliang, smiled, took off the cloth covering his face, and said, "Li Mingliang, look at who it is."

"Zhongshan~?"

Li Mingliang and Zhong Shan can be considered childhood friends. Li Mingliang's home was also located at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. There was only one room in the east wing on the east side of the main hall in the front yard. Zhongshan's home was right outside the door. The two grew up together. Although one was good at studying and the other was not, they had a very good relationship.

Li Mingliang's family also worked in the steel rolling mill. His father, Li Jianghe, was a level 6 blacksmith. Later, when a larger house became available in another yard, the Li family moved there.

Later, I heard that Li's father went to the Northwest to support the cause and there was no news of him anymore. Only Li Mingliang, his mother Gao Xianglan, and his younger sister Li Sisi were left at home.

At first, Mr. Li's monthly salary of 76 yuan was paid on time, but later on, for some reason, it was suddenly stopped. Because Mr. Li was transferred to the northwest, and there was no definite news that he was gone, his job could not be inherited.

From then on, the Li family's life became worse and worse. As the only man in the family, Li Mingliang had to hang out on the streets. He would do anything as long as he could get something to eat, and the family survived like this.

Hearing Li Mingliang talking about his family's experience, Zhong Shan was also sighing. Looking at the current Li Mingliang, Zhong Shan's heart was moved. Although he didn't have much ambition, he also needed someone by his side, and Li Mingliang was very suitable.

Then he brought Li Mingliang to the warehouse. Over the years, Li Mingliang often stayed out all night, and his family was used to it. They would not worry too much if he occasionally did not come home at night.

Zhong Shan also talked about his own experience. When Li Mingliang heard that Zhong Shan worked in the neighborhood office, he was happy for Zhong Shan.

At this point, Zhong Shan said to Li Mingliang: "Mingliang, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to just continue like this?"

Li Mingliang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Otherwise, who would want to go hungry outside when there are other options?"

Zhong Shan looked at Li Mingliang and pondered for a while: "Mingliang, you also know that I am working in the street office now, and my father's job at home is not available. Do you have any ideas? If you want to go, this position will be given to you."

Li Mingliang's eyes immediately turned red when he heard this. He knew how hard it was to get a regular job in a steel rolling mill. Even at 600 yuan, there was no one in demand. He had to pay more and have a chance before he could get the job.

I want to refuse, but reality simply does not allow it. I have a mother and a younger sister to support at home. If I don't refuse, where will I get so much money?

Li Mingliang murmured unwillingly: "Zhongshan, I, I don't have that much money!"

Zhong Shan looked at Li Mingliang, whose eyes were red, and said, "Mingliang, we are not strangers. I didn't intend to sell this quota to you. Now you need it. You can do it first. Your life will get better and better. You can work to support your family first. When your life gets better in the future, you can pay me slowly. Just think of it as something I sold to you. Don't feel any psychological pressure!"

Li Mingliang looked at Zhong Shan deeply: "I won't say anything. I can't say no. Just like you said, I need this job. I have no right to refuse. Just think of it as me taking advantage of you. From now on, my life belongs to you!"

Zhong Shan looked at Li Mingliang and smiled: "Why would I want your life? Life will get better day by day, let's all live a good life."

Li Mingliang didn't say anything after hearing this, but his eyes became more determined.

Then, Zhong Shan turned around and took out his father Zhong Zhenmin's job inheritance certificate from the space, and wrote a certificate that Zhong Shan voluntarily gave his job to Li Mingliang, and handed them to Li Mingliang together.

Looking at the dumbfounded Li Mingliang, he said, "Mingliang, come back tomorrow and settle your family down, then go to work in the factory and do your best."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!" Seeing the extremely precious job certificate being handed to him, Li Mingliang shed tears. Li Mingliang, who was usually eloquent, could only say thank you now.

Zhong Shan comforted Li Mingliang and said nothing else. It was already very late, and after wandering around the Pigeon Market for a long time, Zhong Shan was tired and fell asleep after a while.

Li Mingliang was so excited that he didn't sleep all night and fell asleep just before dawn.

The next morning, Zhong Shan got up, tidied up, and woke up Li Mingliang who had just fallen asleep: "Mingliang is awake, sleep a little longer!"

Li Mingliang rubbed his eyes and said, "I won't sleep anymore. I have to go home and tell my mother and sister the news when it's daybreak. Zhongshan, I will go through fire and water in the future. No problem."

Zhong Shan said to Li Mingliang with a straight face: "You said that again, Mingliang. We are childhood friends. Talking about these things will make us distant. We should live a good life, which is better than anything else."

Seeing Li Mingliang about to say something, Zhong Shan said, "Come on, Mingliang, come with me for breakfast."

After that, regardless of what Li Mingliang wanted to say, he dragged him to the steamed bun shop. The two of them ate a few steamed buns, a few fried dough sticks, and each drank a bowl of fried liver.

Zhong Shan bought 10 big meat buns. Li Mingliang looked at Zhong Shan curiously. Why did he buy so many buns after just eating?

After leaving the bun shop, Zhong Shan stuffed the buns into Li Mingliang's arms and said, "Mingliang, thank you for taking the buns back to mom and sister. Don't refuse. It's like saying goodbye to the past. The suffering is over. Things will get better and better in the future! I still have to go to work. I'll visit them at your house when I'm free."

After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about Li Mingliang, leaving Li Mingliang standing there, staring at the bun in his arms in a daze!
