Outside Sixiang City.
In a house.
Two men in ragged clothes held big bowls in both hands and took big mouthfuls of porridge. Although the porridge was not very sticky, they still ate it.
"Brother, this porridge is delicious."
"Yes, we can survive!"
"Father, mother, if you open your eyes in heaven, our brothers will have a way to live."
The two of them shed tears while eating porridge.
The facial expressions are spot on.
Not long after, someone came in from outside.
The person who came was another steward in black, holding two pieces of paper in his hand.
"Come on, you two, put your fingerprints on this piece of paper."
The steward was very considerate and had already prepared the ink pads.
The two men stretched out their hands. There was dirt on their fingers and dark nails inside. They grinned, showing yellow teeth.
A trace of disgust flashed in the steward's eyes, but he quickly restrained himself.
"Let's press right now."
The two men pressed their fingerprints on the paper without hesitation.
The steward smiled happily and said, "When you're full, I'll take you to the place of work."
"Okay, we are looking forward to it."
The steward turned his head, and his originally warm smile was immediately replaced by a sneer.
Hum, a fool is a fool.
The steward returned to the room.
The supervisor sat behind the desk and glanced at the two pieces of paper sent by the steward.
"Is there any problem with these two people?" the supervisor asked.
"According to my observation, there should be no problem. They are just refugees from the north," the steward said.
"In the past, we were not so strict, but recently there has been a strict order from above, and new people brought in must be strictly investigated."
"We all work for the superiors, and there can be no mistakes in this work. If something happens, none of us can escape."
The supervisor emphasized.
"Understood, I will do my best to screen."
The steward nodded.
The supervisor has never said such serious words before, and things have been very relaxed these years.
But, this time it was obviously not possible.
The number of people in the coal mine will decrease every day, so manpower must be replenished. Then the next manpower replenishment must be done in a perfect manner.
It's best if they do it voluntarily.
"You did a good job this time. These two people, one is a big boy and the other is a big boy. They are two good laborers."
The supervisor praised him again.
The supervisor's words of praise made the manager's heart feel warm and he walked as lightly as if he were walking on clouds.
After Niu Da and Niu Er finished their porridge, someone came over and led them out.
They were quite excited at first, but as time went by, the path became weirder and weirder, and they started to go all the way down.
Seeing several rows of mud houses, the man in black pointed at the mud houses and said, "This is where you will live in the future. You go in and take a look, and I will take you to your workplace."
Niu Da and Niu Er entered the house together. They took a glance and saw that the house was completely bare. Except for two earthen beds, the rest was a broken table with a broken leg.
They closed the door, their expressions changed immediately, they looked at each other without speaking.
The next moment, the man in black had forcefully opened the door.
What he saw were two smiling faces.
"What are you doing?" the man in black asked.
"It's great that we have a house to live in. It's great."
The two laughed and shed tears at the same time, vividly interpreting the joy that was lost and found.
"Okay, we're going to work."
The man in black was a little impatient.
Patience can only last until you enter the mine.
Once you truly enter, the true face of the overseer will be exposed.
Niu Da and Niu Er left the house. After a while, a huge mine appeared in front of them. It looked very shocking.
Here is the largest mine near Sixiang City
, Heiyangshu Coalfield Mine!
"This, what is this!"
Niu Da and Niu Er looked stunned, as if they had never seen the world.
"This is where you work, go in."
The man in black pointed inside.
Niuda and Niu staggered in...
About an hour later, Niu Da and Niu Er sat among a pile of cinders with dark faces, panting.
The nearby overseer has left to patrol elsewhere.
Niu Da glanced around and whispered: "This miner is really not done by humans."
"No wonder there are so many deaths. Only with our internal strength can we hold on. If an average miner can hold on for a year, he is already strong."
Niu Er sighed.
Wanghai County, in the yard of my third uncle.
Seeing Xu Yuanming's family coming over, the dry tobacco pole in Yang Huazhong's hand fell to the ground.
The third uncle coughed from behind: "I dropped the cigarette ashes into the well. You have to clean it up for me, or I won't let you go!"
Yang Huazhong suddenly came back to his senses. He smiled awkwardly at his third uncle, then turned around to say hello to Xu Yuanming.
At this time, Xu Yuanming and the others had already seen Xiao Hei, and Xu Yuanming shouted: "You bastard, is Qiao Hong with you?"
Xiao Hei hadn't woken up yet, rubbing his eyes and still mumbling.
Suddenly he heard someone calling his name, and the voice was so familiar. When he saw it was his master Xu Yuanming, Xiao Hei was so frightened that his eyes dropped into his open mouth.
Something fell into his mouth, and Xiao Hei instinctively chewed it and started eating.
"Oh my god, was this black boy just a glutton in his last life?"
Everyone at the scene who saw Xiao Hei's actions were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. Uncle San, who was drinking tea from a small teapot, almost choked on his tea.
When he was young, Taoist priests said that he was a ruthless person, but now it seems that this black boy is the real ruthless person.
Xiao Hei swallowed the eye droppings in his mouth, and then his mind started to spin.
"Master, Master, why are you here?"
He asked, but his eyes rolled around and he moved towards the door. It was obvious that he was panicking.
"You bastard, let me ask you if Qiaohong is in the house?" Xu Yuanming asked Xiaohei again with red eyes.
Xiao Hei shook his head, and the fat on his cheeks was shaken loudly, "No, no, no..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Yuanming just gave Xiao Hei the last chance, but he didn't expect this ghost to lie to his face. He just met Xu Mang at the entrance of the alley, and Xu Mang told them everything!
But Xu Yuanming and his son were men and it was not convenient for them to go in. Xu Yuanming's wife, Qiao Hongniang, immediately pushed aside Xiao Hei who was blocking the door and rushed into the east room.
Immediately, Qiao Hongniang's curses, and Qiao Hong's screams and exclamations came from the east room.
The faces of Xu Yuanming and his son changed completely. Xu Yuanming rolled up his sleeves, ignored Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming, and stepped forward to catch Xiao Hei and beat him up.
Yang Huazhong rushed over and stopped Xu Yuanming and his son, "Leave Xiao Hei to me, I won't spare him lightly!"
Xu Yuanming glared at Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming, "Even if Mrs. Luo is my boss, our Xu family can't let it go like this!"
