No Master [Interstellar]

Chapter 44 Working Life

Ronan was helpless, and continued to look for other jobs with lower requirements. Unexpectedly, all the bosses had the same expression as those ship owners, and they refused as long as they heard that Ronan didn't even have an identity.Even jobs like dishwashers require status.After running for a day, Ronan suddenly felt like an illegal immigrant, even worse than an illegal immigrant, because he was not even wanted for washing dishes.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ronan had no choice but to take his luggage and look for a cheaper room.The bass was close to the guitar six, the hotel prices were by no means cheap, and in the end Ronan found a place in what looked like a ghetto.Although the environment is not good, in the eyes of the Zerg, modern conditions cannot keep up.It is still the most primitive urban building, accommodating a large population density, but the level of living comfort is greatly reduced.There is no self-delivery here, you basically rely on walking when you go out, you basically rely on roaring for communication, and you don’t need to rely on dogs for security. Most of the people living here are tall Zerg females, and one person can take care of three dogs.In the eyes of ordinary Zerg, this place is simply too shabby.But in Ronan's view, there is a sense of intimacy, which makes him feel like returning to those super metropolises on earth.Compared with the buildings outside that are too sci-fi, this place is more like his hometown.

Later, he discovered that many black households from other colonized races lived here to work.Maybe the level of technology from each colonized planet is about the same, so they all have a special feeling for this place.Of course, it is more likely that, like him, he is short of money and has no other place to live.

After Ronan paid the money, he took the key from the boss downstairs and took the elevator to the 65th floor.When I opened the room, I breathed a sigh of relief.Not as bad as he imagined.There are few household facilities in the room, but the beds are well-equipped and the cleaning is considered clean. There is a small toilet and even a bathtub.Like a small apartment on earth, Ronan was very tired all day, and fell asleep after washing.

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, Ronan went to the construction site to report.This was the only post he saw yesterday that didn't require an ID.That's it, the foreman still picks and chooses Ronan, thinking that he is a child laborer and lacks physical strength.After Ronan said a lot of good things, the foreman nodded and left him.

When I got to the construction site, I saw that it was a real construction site.The Zerg were working on the construction site in full swing.Of course, it's real work.I didn't expect that in a place where Zerg technology is so advanced, there are still people working hard on the construction site.The kind of skyscraper that Ronan imagined would grow up by itself after an afternoon of crackling, and the building of houses here has been completely modularized and automated.But it's different when you tear down a house. There are too many things to recycle, and you can't throw them all away.The work of sorting and recycling still depends on the joint efforts of machines and workers.Most of the work here is heavy physical work, the pollution is also serious, and the living environment is harsh, which is similar to the jobs on earth that move bricks.

The workers here are similar to those on Earth.It was almost noon, and under the scorching sun, the workers took off their shirts, and drops of sweat rolled from their foreheads, all the way across their strong torsos, and finally disappeared into the earth.Just pick up a few of them and you can shoot a migrant worker magazine or something without makeup.And the little foreman who got Ronan from the leader was worried: What can this thin and thin body do?

Looking at Ronan who looked at him with a smirk, the young man is so handsome, the little foreman can't say that you, bean sprouts, are useless and he doesn't want them.Looking at Ronan's earnest eyes, he had no choice but to wave his hand, just be a small worker.In this way, Ronan became a small worker on the construction site.Help the big brothers and uncles of the workers carry tools, fight for help, help move bricks and so on.Those who are willing to work hard here have poor family conditions. Among the ten workers, there are two or three black households of other races.Like Ronan, this is the only job these black households can find.Fortunately, the working people at the bottom who rely on their own sweat to eat are more tolerant to other races. As long as they can work and move bricks, they are all their own people. The black households here are not discriminated against like they were in the colonies. They are all working people , who looks down on whom?

On Earth, Ronan can already be considered a strong worker. Here, compared with this group of workers, he is still a half-grown child.None of the people who worked together said that he did less work, but instead helped him everywhere.Ronan took the money from the big worker and did the work of the small worker.Whether it is to the workers or the foremen, big or small, I am very grateful.

Fortunately, the Zerg construction site did not cheat migrant workers, and the money given was considered conscientious.Ronan has saved a lot of money during this period, and seeing that he will work for a few more days, he feels that he can go to the next stop.

But a few things happened, so he had to temporarily change his mind.

The first thing happened was when a group of people sat on the construction site and ate steamed buns while having lunch at noon one day.

In the past few days of exercising on the construction site, Ronan not only kept company with muscular men all day long, but also gradually developed the prototype of his muscles.Although he originally belonged to the type who looked thin when he was dressed, and had flesh when he took off his clothes, he didn't specifically exercise in the gym.However, after these days of hard physical labor, Ronan can obviously feel that he is stronger, and he can even say that he has a little muscle. When he goes back to take off his clothes at night, he can see the obvious lines on his arms.These working people don't need to exercise specially, and they naturally have good tendons.

He had not been on the construction site for a long time, and there had been obvious changes.Not to mention the others on the construction site.It is precisely because these people are in their prime years that this construction site has never been paid protection fees by the nearby underworld.Because as long as the foreman yells, a platoon can be pulled out.

Now, this row of big men sat around a big table.While chewing the steamed bun in his hand, Xiao Luo, who was sitting next to him, took a deep breath. "Why is it so fragrant?" Ronaldinho's original name was Robert, because he was young and had just grown up, and he was very childish. Ronan gave him a nickname called Xiaoluo. As a result, once this nickname came out, everyone followed him. cried out.Robert's real name has been mostly forgotten.

"Sweet steamed buns?" Ronan looked at the steamed buns in his hand suspiciously.Alien steamed buns are not comparable to Chinese food, even the instant food he ate on the spaceship before.According to Ronan, the taste can only be tasted.I didn't expect Ronaldinho to give it face like this.

"Of course it's not the smell of steamed buns. It's another kind of fragrance! I can't compare it to you dull guys. Your olfactory organs are just decorations." Ronaldinho said disgustedly.

"It's a bit!" Immediately, someone echoed.

Ronan knew that as long as it was time to show their keen sense of smell, the group of bugs would start scrambling to show off.Fear of appearing to be behind others.really.Someone immediately said: "I know! There is a racing event called "New Generation Mountain Creator" on the other side of the sea, and a few males were invited to watch it, not to mention that the pheromones of the males were brought over by the sea breeze."

After hearing this, some workers said with emotion: "What a powerful man this is! The pheromone can be transmitted across the sea!"

The old cow began to blow: "That's because you didn't know it! The famous male Oskelteraz back then went surfing on the east coast of the Star Falling Sea on the Central Star. As a result, the next day, he lived in The females on the west coast of the Sea of ​​Falling Stars drained the sea." Lao Niu was also a nickname given to him by Ronan, not because he was particularly good at blowing, but because his blowing was unconstrained and far-fetched.Very imaginative, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Sure enough, someone was fooled. "Drain the ocean for what?"

"Are you stupid?" The old cow looked at him contemptuously, and then taught him earnestly: "You think, Oskelteraz went into the sea, is the sea full of his pheromones? You usually buy information How much is a bottle of Su? This is Oskelteraz, rich and poor men all fetch water from the sea to feel the charm of Oskelteraz. The sea will be drained."

Ronaldinho on the side looked envious. "Then tell me, will these male sons go into the sea now?"

Lao Niu thought for a while: "The guitar is no better than the central star. The temperature of the sea water is too cold. I guess they won't go down. But it's good to enjoy the free wind. Recently, the price of pheromones has increased again!"

When working in the afternoon, Ronan deliberately stayed away from them.Sure enough, no one mentioned pheromones all afternoon.In the evening, when we got off work and had dinner, everyone complained, saying that the wind direction had changed, and the pheromone that was originally on the other side of the sea could not be transmitted.Ronan frowned secretly, this is the seaside, and the monsoon hangs over the sea.In the absence of a typhoon, the sea breeze is in the same direction for a quarter.Impossible to change just now.However, he didn't say anything, he just paid more attention.He still had to do his job, so Ronan had to keep a distance from everyone and take a shower frequently.Every noon, when others went to eat, they saw Ronan taking the lead and running to take a shower.

Everyone shook their heads. This child's cleanliness is getting worse and worse. For this reason, there will soon be no cure.

Another thing happened when he came home.It was almost evening when Ronan got off work every day.I ate dinner on the construction site and didn't return to my residence until it was dark.Originally, the workers on the construction site were eager to ask Ronan to move in and live with them. After all, it is cheaper to live together than to live alone.But Ronan declined and stayed where he started.Like all favelas, this one is not very safe.

Originally, their group of migrant workers had nothing to do with those collecting protection fees on the street.Those who work on the construction site are equivalent to joining an invisible "trade union". Those who collect protection fees look at the trade union for the sake of this union, and they will not seek them out.Everyone lives around this street, and they often don't look up and look down, and they are often familiar faces.But the intersection is different, and you can't say hello in three or five years.

But, who knows, that night, one of the protection fee collectors might have drunk too much.A large group of them stood chattering on the street, and one of them froze for a moment when he saw Ronan coming from the night.Then hesitantly called out: "Xiongzi?"

Ronan raised his head reflexively.The man saw that it was a familiar face, and the heat receded from his eyes.

After he yelled, he regretted it, knowing that he had drunk too much.Knowing that it would be a shame for him to regard others as male sons, he turned his head away from Ronan.Unexpectedly, the brothers around him who collected protection fees refused to let him go, and made fun of him with this incident.

Ronan knew something was wrong.He wanted to take a detour, but there was only this alley in front of him, so he could only bite the bullet and go forward.

Sure enough, the man became angry from embarrassment at what others said.He couldn't help but look viciously at the person who hurt him and was humiliated.If the opponent is a strong man, he is likely to forget it.However, Ronan looked very weak, and he was so heartbroken that he stopped in front of Ronan with a stern face.
