Chapter 443 Refugees
the next day.

Back cover room.

Bai Xiuwen woke up early, looked at his sleeping sister, gently lifted the quilt, and got out of bed.

Bai Chi sensed the movement, opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately grabbed Bai Xiuwen's hand, "Brother, where are you going?"

"You're awake. Let me make breakfast." Bai Xiuwen gently stroked Bai Chi's forehead.

Bai Chi felt relieved after listening to the noise his brother made while cooking.

Make a simple breakfast and let my sister eat it.

"Sister, stay at home and don't run around. I'm going out to find a job."

"I also need to go."

"No, I'm going to work, it's inconvenient to take you with me, you have to stay at home, there is food at home, you have to take care of it."

"If the food in our house is stolen, we will both starve to death. Food is very important, you know?"

Being assigned an important task by his brother, Bai Chi's eyes immediately became serious and solemn, and he nodded heavily, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the food."

"Well, I believe I can do it, sister." Bai Xiuwen touched her head and went out with a half-full stomach.

He didn't dare eat too much, for fear that there would not be much food left.

When I went out, I saw Xu Sinan also coming out. This girl was alone and her body was very thin, like a collarbone.

"Good morning." Bai Xiuwen greeted her as they were both refugees.

"Yeah." Xu Sinan nodded in response, without saying anything, and just walked away quickly.

When the two men passed through the backyard and the middle yard, everyone avoided them. Bai Xiuwen originally wanted to establish good relationships with everyone.

Seeing this, I can only give up.

Everyone in the yard had tidied up and went to work in groups of three or four.

On the streets, people were busy going to work in the factory, but Bai Xiuwen was going against the flow of people.

There was no way he could get a job at the factory because they didn't hire anyone. Bai Xiuwen had asked many times but no one wanted him.

Bai Xiuwen came to the street and looked at the casual workers gathered in groups of three or four. He planned to start by doing odd jobs.

Whether or not I can find a permanent job is another matter. First, I need to earn some money and food to avoid being driven out of the city with nothing in my pocket.

When the casual workers saw Bai Xiuwen, their eyes narrowed and they instantly realized that Bai Xiuwen was just like them, and they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Bai Xiuwen came up to them and said, "Brother, are you waiting for work? Can you add me?"

Hearing this, the casual worker became even more unhappy and waved his hands impatiently: "Get lost, we are all hungry and we want to add you, get lost."

Bai Xiuwen left angrily and went to ask other casual workers about the situation.

The result is self-evident, they were all rejected directly.

"Hey, you guys, it's time to work!" Suddenly, someone shouted at them.

"It's time to live." A group of people immediately stood up and ran over in a hurry.

"Brother Dong."

"Brother Dong."

"Ah."

It seemed that they and Brother Dong were old acquaintances. Brother Dong just waved his hand and they went to work immediately.

"Comrade."

Dong Ge turned around and saw Bai Xiuwen, who was pale and thin.

"Is there a problem?"

Bai Xiuwen pointed at the people working and said, "Comrade, I'm here to find work. Can you add me?"

After saying that, Bai Xiuwen looked at Brother Dong anxiously.

Upon hearing this, the group of people working looked at Bai Xiuwen ferociously. Wasn't Bai Xiuwen trying to steal food from them?

It is not so easy to join a job nowadays. Everyone has calculated the number of people and would rather have one less than one more.

Brother Dong noticed their looks. After all, they were acquaintances. Besides, what if Bai Xiuwen did something unclean?

Dong Ge refused directly: "No, there are enough people, go find someone else."

When they heard Dong Ge’s refusal, they were extremely happy.

Bai Xiuwen left disappointed and went to the next place to try his luck.

Dong Ge looked at Bai Xiuwen without any pity. This was not the first time he had seen such refugees.

After searching for a whole morning, Bai Xiuwen failed again and again without success.

No one dared to use him, either because he was obstructed by small gangs or rejected by the supervisors.

Bai Xiuwen had already anticipated this and looked up at the sun.

"Go back and cook first, or your sister will be hungry."

Bai Xiuwen was rushing towards the courtyard and was seen by Cui Yuan. He was taking the repaired items back to the repair shop.

Looking at Bai Xiuwen's back, Cui Yuan seemed to see himself in the past. At that time, he also carried a burden and did odd jobs on the street.

Looking at him, Cui Yuan felt pity. After returning the items, he hurried back to the yard.

Cui Yuan returned to the steel rolling mill and talked to Li Kailang about what happened.

"Xiao Li, do you want to introduce them to the unloading department, just like I did in the beginning? I will vouch for them."

Li Kailang glanced at Cui Yuan and shook his head in disappointment, "Brother Cui, don't think about it. Things are different now. It won't work now."

"The steel mill would rather let everyone move the goods to the warehouse by themselves than hire anyone. Do you think this is possible?"

Hearing this, Cui Yuan thought about it and nodded: "Yes, it is better to have insufficient staff in the unloading department and not recruit anyone. Why didn't I think of it?"

Cui Yuan also felt sorry for them and didn't expect this to happen.

"Now, unless you have proof of employment, forget it."

"Proof of employment?" Cui Yuan smiled helplessly. "Who has extra proof of employment now? It seems they can only leave it to fate."

Li Kailang has two work certificates, one from the street office and the other from a scrap collection station.

The street office will hold on to it tightly, but the scrap yard can give it away, but it depends on the person.

After all, he was planning to put a ward in the scrap yard so that any good stuff could be left for him.

Now the work certificate of the scrap collection station is still useful, because the leader of the scrap station has not been transferred, and he cannot deny it.

"Eat and stop worrying so much."

Li Kailang didn't know the new refugees yet and wasn't sure what their characters were like.

After all, the system cannot recognize people, so it can only rely on it to identify whether people are good or bad.

When Bai Xiuwen returned home, he saw an old lady taking care of Bai Chi and feeding her.

"Auntie, sister."

"Xiao Wen is back. I saw that you were not back, so Xiao Chi was hungry, so I cooked for her first. I'm sorry." The aunt explained.

Seeing Bai Chi eating happily, Bai Xiuwen dared not accept this apology, "I am really sorry for troubling you. You have to take care of my sister."

The auntie just cared about Bai Chi without any other purpose. She cooked for Bai Chi maybe because she was cute.

"It's okay, it's okay. Since you're here, you can feed her. There's still hot rice in the pot. Eat it. I'll go back and cook first."

"Thank you for your help, sister. Say thank you to grandma."

"Thank you grandma."

The aunt waved her hand and went back to cook.

Bai Xiuwen touched Bai Chi's head and glanced at the coarse grains in the pot. There was probably still a bowl of them.

You can tell at first glance that the auntie calculated the amount of food she cooked, making it just the right amount so that the child can eat until 70% full.

"Brother, grandma is fine." Bai Chi said, looking up.

"Well, then you have to be nice to grandma in the future, say more good things about her, and don't make her unhappy."

"Ah."

Bai Xiuwen had nothing, so it was ridiculous for him to want to repay the old lady. He could only remember her and repay her later.

"Brother, eat."

"Well, let's eat."

After dinner and a short rest, Bai Xiuwen went out to look for a job again.

At the door, I met Xu Sinan again.

The two had similar experiences. After looking for jobs for the whole morning, no one was willing to hire them.

Xu Sinan met the female workers and went to the textile factory to seek orders, but there were no orders for her either.

On the one hand, they were not familiar with her abilities. Even if Xu Sinan said it was good and could demonstrate it on the spot, it was still useless. They were unwilling to give her a chance.

On the other hand, there was obstruction from other people, as they were unwilling to let Xu Sinan have a share.

The two nodded to each other and went out to look for work. Song Qiunan's house.

"Brother, stay at home and don't run around. I'm going out to find a job, okay?"

"I understand, sister." Song Yujie nodded in response.

"Well, be obedient." Song Qiunan touched his brother's head and walked out the door.

Song Qiunan understands her strengths and weaknesses. She is not good at housework, nor can she do rough labor. There are many things she cannot do, but she has a pretty face.

With this face, she didn't believe that she couldn't find a suitable man to marry.

It’s just that ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

"It's just inconvenient to bring my brother with me. If I were alone, I would just get married. It would just be an extra mouth to feed, but a younger brother."

When I think of my brother’s bottomless stomach, which can eat one and a half kilograms of rice a day, which family can afford to feed him.

This is also why his family kicked him out. They couldn't afford to feed him because he ate too much.

It's still young now, and what will happen when it grows up? Let alone in a year of disaster, even in a year of bumper harvest, we wouldn't dare to raise it like this.

"I still have to find a rich man to marry. No ordinary person can afford to support both of us."

"I just don't believe it. I can't hook up with a rich man. I'm so beautiful, which man wouldn't like me?"

Thinking of this, Song Qiunan was full of confidence.

Along the way, there were people who had their eyes on her and tried to take advantage of her, but she got rid of them one by one and kept herself clean.

She understood that she could only impress those rich people with this.

It's not easy to take down a henchman in just one month, and rich people are not fools, but Song Qiunan is still full of confidence.

Song Qiunan was originally very pretty. Although she wore simple clothes, it still couldn't hide her beautiful looks and proud figure.

It is still unknown whether he can capture the rich, but he can easily capture ordinary people, especially some people in the yard.

Song Qiunan strolled towards the most famous place in the city, looking for thugs.

"Squeak~" Another person came out right behind him.

I saw a girl with hair scattered on her cheeks. Her face was no different from Song Qiunan, if you excluded the mole the size of a child's palm.

After resting for a morning, Zhao Ruonan also went out to look for a job.

Zhao Sinan's ability and image are between Song Qiunan and Xu Sinan.

She is a good housewife and has a nice figure. If you ignore the mole, her appearance is not bad either.

Zhao Sinan covered the mole on his face with his hair and went out to look for a job.

It’s just that her experience was even worse than Xu Sinan’s.

"Comrade, do you need someone?"

Zhao Ruonan also found the textile factory first and asked the security guard.

The security guard was about to chase her away impatiently, but when he saw Zhao Ruonan's pretty face, he didn't chase her away, but instead showed great patience.

"Girl, why do you want to look for a job? It's so cold, isn't it better to stay at home?"

"To be honest, I came out to look for a job because my family couldn't afford to make ends meet."

"Is that so? It's really hard for you." The security guard expressed his deep agreement.

"Hey girl, why are your hair messy? Did you forget to bring your headband? I have a headband here for you to use first."

"How can this be? No need for that." There was a reason why Zhao Ruonan had her hair disheveled.

The security guard pretended to be angry: "Hey, don't be embarrassed, it's just a headband. If you don't wear it, I won't help you ask the leader."

Such a beautiful person looks good even with half of her face covered. Wouldn't it look even better if her whole face was covered?

I don’t know if such a beautiful girl has a boyfriend. If not, I have to make a move.

He is willing to let such a beautiful girl go out to work, so he must be supporting her at home. It just so happens that his salary is not bad, so it is more than enough to support his wife at home.

Zhao Ruonan declined again.

After trying several times, he still couldn't convince the security guard, and he was in urgent need of a job, so he had to take the headband.

The security guard waited with great joy to see her beautiful complete face.

"Ay Ya I gi!"

As expected, the security guard was frightened by the big mole.

The security guard waved his hands impatiently: "Hurry up and leave."

Zhao Ruonan had expected this, and hurriedly asked the main point: "Comrade, you haven't said whether you will be hiring for this job?"

"No, no, don't stay here, leave now."

Such an ugly person would be disgusting even to the leader, let alone him. How could he be hired to disgust others and delay production?
Seeing this, Zhao Sinan sighed and returned the headband.

"I don't want the things anymore, you take them, take them." The security guard thought it was unlucky, so how could he take them?

Zhao Sinan could only leave with the hairband.

What happened afterwards was similar. Once the mole was exposed, everyone avoided her. They thought she was unlucky and how could they dare to use her.

She tried to block it, but it only aroused everyone's curiosity and made them want to see more.

As soon as they opened it, they regretted it even more and chased the person away without saying a word.

At the worst time, I didn’t even have the chance to speak and was just waved away to leave.

Zhao Sinan suppressed her sadness, helplessness and tears, and looked for jobs one after another, hoping to find someone who would not discriminate against her.

But this is obviously very difficult. The factory is not recruiting workers, so it is difficult to find a job. It is even more difficult to avoid discrimination.

courtyard.

"Ah!!!" The last person finally got up and stretched himself.

"I slept for most of the day. It was so comfortable!"

Ma Xu finally got up.

He has a pretty good physique. Although he is thin, he looks quite strong, similar to Cui Yuan back then.

"Let's get something to eat first."

Ma Xu then started to cook. After a simple meal, it was not that early yet and it would be dark again in a few hours.

Of course there is no need to find a job.

"Go out and take a look. I haven't been around this yard yet, so I don't know what it looks like."

I came here in a hurry yesterday and didn't pay much attention to the yard. Now that I have some free time, I'll go and take a look.

There is no need to check the back room. I saw it clearly when I was cleaning yesterday.

Ma Xu first walked around the backyard.

He saw the second aunt, the deaf old lady and others, mainly the beautiful girl Sai Fengxian. Ma Xu was stunned by her curvy figure.

"I didn't expect that people in the city are so well-fed. There are so many beautiful girls. It's not like my hometown, where there are not many beautiful girls."

Ma Xu couldn't help but feel fortunate that he came to Sijiu City.

Not daring to look at Sai Fengxian for too long, Ma Xu went to the central courtyard to stroll around.

When he saw an old lady, Ma Xu hurried over to say hello.

"Who are you?" The old lady looked at Ma Xu in front of her. She was old and had a poor memory.

"Auntie, I'm Ma Xu, you can just call me Xiao Ma."

"Pony, what's up?"

"No, I just came to thank you. If you hadn't helped us yesterday, I don't know how long we would have finished cleaning."

"You're welcome. We're all members of the courtyard, and this is what we should do. What can I do for you?"

"No, you go ahead and do your thing." After finishing the discussion, Ma Xu strolled around the central courtyard.

I saw the youthful He Yushui, the green tea Qin Huairu, and the devil Bang Geng.

When Bang Geng saw Ma Xu, he grinned at him. Ma Xu grinned back at him. Bang Geng was so scared that he quickly ran back home and hugged Qin Huairu's thighs.

When he heard Bang Geng going to complain, Ma Xu hurried to the front yard, fearing that he would be caught.

When we arrived at the front yard, we saw the three aunts, the three siblings of the Yan family, Aunt Cui, Cui Gang and others.

Ma Xu took the initiative to step forward and greet them one by one. Everyone responded politely, chatted for a while, and then went to the back room.

After saying hello to the people in the back house, he walked out of the yard with confidence.

Judging from the way he greeted her, he seemed normal. His eyes didn't wander around or he didn't push at the door, so no one suspected him.

Of course, this is also because every household is locked.

There were new residents in the yard, and no one knew their character or background, so they naturally had to be careful, fearing that their things would be stolen.

It doesn't matter if money is stolen, but if food is stolen, that would be troublesome.

All the refugees, except for the two young ones, were doing something.
