Su Su stepped forward to support him and asked with concern: "Uncle Jiang, why do you cough so badly?"
Jiang Liben kept pushing her away with his hands, "I caught a cold two days ago...cough cough cough...stay away from me, be careful I pass the virus to you."
"Then stop sweeping the snow. Your health is the most important thing. Wherever you live, I will take you back."
With that said, Su Su pulled Uncle Jiang to leave, but Uncle Jiang refused to leave.
"I can't leave. If I leave, this job will be gone."
Without a job, he has no food to eat, and he doesn't have a single point on his body. The reason why he can enter the base is because he was transferred from the shelter.
They live in a 20-person dormitory arranged by the base. All other food and drink issues need to be solved by themselves, and the base will not care about them.
At first, he followed the base car out to look for supplies, but every time he found supplies he would be robbed by people in the dormitory when he came back.
Later, when I was robbing supplies, I was injured in my leg, and it still hasn't healed yet.
He couldn't go out to find supplies, so he had to find a job at the base to support himself.
Only by surviving can he find Su Su. Only by seeing that Su Su is safe and fine can he feel relieved.
Only in this way can he live up to her mother's trust after he dies.
There are many people in the base and there is a shortage of material resources. In order to survive, many people are rushing to do jobs even if they have no points and only include one meal a day.
Take the job of clearing snow, which gives you 30 points every month and includes a meal at noon. This is simply a sweet potato in the eyes of many people.
He was able to get this job because they were the first batch of personnel transferred from the shelter after the base was established.
It happened that the first day it snowed, there was a job opening for snow plowers, so he signed up to work here.
Su Su felt sour in her heart. Uncle Jiang, who was once a high-spirited professional manager, was tortured by the apocalypse and became such a humble and vicissitudes of life now.
And just now she discovered that Uncle Jiang's foot seemed to be injured.
She suddenly said with some distress: "You have a cold now and your feet are injured. You can't stay here any longer."
"I..." Jiang Li was about to speak when he was interrupted by a big-faced man walking towards them.
"Jiang Liben, since you are not feeling well, go back and have a good rest. I will report your situation now. There is no need to come tomorrow."
"I'm in good health, I can still... cough cough..." Jiang Liben anxiously stated that he was not sick, but he coughed uncontrollably.
"That's it, how dare you say you're not sick?" the big-faced man said mockingly.
"Since you can't do it, then leave quickly and don't occupy other people's places."
Seeing Uncle Jiang's face turning even paler after being spoken to by the big-faced man in front of him, his whole body exuded a negative aura.
Su Su frowned, stood up and looked at him coldly, and said, "Oh? Then I have to ask, whose position does he occupy?"
"Of course it's the position of those who have the physical strength to do things." The big-faced man said matter-of-factly.
Yesterday, a woman happened to come to him and asked him to help find a job. Her words made him unbearable.
So as long as this Jiang Liben is taken away today, are you still afraid that the woman won't come to your door and let him play in various positions?
"So when you mean physical strength, are he like him? Or are you like hers?"
As she spoke, Su Su pointed at a man in his sixties or seventies in the distance, and then pointed at a thin woman who was shivering from the cold and about to faint.
"Tell me, how can these two people compare to my Uncle Jiang?"
The two people Su Su pointed to were a relative he had installed and the other a woman who slept with him one night before giving him the job.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two people are here to mess around, but because of the big-faced man, everyone just sees through it without telling them.
When Su Su bluntly pointed it out, the big-faced man turned blue and red with anger.
He became angry and said: "Huh, if I say they can compare, they can compare. It's not your turn to point fingers here."
"Yeah?"
Su Su looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and threatened directly: "You said that if I write a report letter to the superiors, saying that you have enriched your own pockets, do you think you can still keep your job?"
"You..." The big-faced man was so angry that he wanted to make a move. Suddenly something occurred to him and he stopped in an instant.
There were patrols around. If the woman in front of him shouted and attracted the patrols, he would definitely be walking around without food.
And he had used all his supplies to get the job.
If this job is gone, he will have nothing.
He must not lose this job!
"What do you want?" He lowered his voice and stared at Su Su angrily.
Su Su smiled and said, "I don't want to do anything, but I want to make it clear to you. Even if I, Uncle Jiang, want to leave, we will resign because we don't want to do it."
"And for how many days my uncle Jiang has been working with you, you have to make up for his points."
As soon as the big-faced man heard her request, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he can keep his job, it doesn't matter how Jiang Liben leaves.
Even if Jiang Liben asked to stay, he would hold his nose and agree.
There was no other way. This woman was so cruel that she directly grabbed him.
"Okay, I will report his resignation today, and you can just come and collect the points tomorrow." The big-faced man compromised.
"Yes." Su Su responded coldly, pulling Uncle Jiang away who was hesitant to speak.
After walking far away, Uncle Jiang sighed and said seriously: "Girl Su, it's too difficult to find a job in this world."
After saying that, he was afraid that his words would make Su Su feel guilty, so he comforted her: "If you lose this job, just lose it. You go back first, and Uncle Jiang will go see if there are any other places that want people."
Su Su pulled his sleeve and said, "Stop looking for him. I'll take you back now."
"No, I live in the dormitory assigned to the shelter by the base. All the people living in that building are men. There are all kinds of people there. You can't go. It's too dangerous."
"So the injury on your leg was caused by those people?" Su Su asked with narrowed eyes.
"No..." Jiang Liben wanted not to admit it, but when he saw Su Su's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he was at a loss for words.
"Don't go back to that dormitory again. I'll find another place for you to live." Su Su's attitude was a bit tough and she couldn't refuse.
Jiang Liben was so moved that his eyes were red. He knew that Su Su was worried about him.
This was the first time he felt the warmth of the world since entering the apocalypse.
Before he found her, he was always afraid that something would happen to her. After seeing her today, he was afraid that she would become as cold-blooded as others.
