Chapter 1 Stevedores Mu Rufeng [New book is launched, add it to your collection! ]

July 15th, 2023 AD.

Location, Changsha City, Hunan Province.

"Squeak~~ah! Squeak~~ah! Squeak..."

It was midsummer, and the annoying and loud cry of cicadas came from the big trees in the distance.

Mu Rufeng wiped the sweat from her forehead, squinted her eyes and looked up at the sun.

His lips were chapped and he was sweating profusely.

My walking steps were a little shaky, and my head was a little dizzy.

"Coming."

Mu Rufeng withdrew her gaze and looked at the People's Pharmacy a hundred meters away.

Outside the People's Pharmacy, there is also a convenience store called Furongxing.

Mu Rufeng quickened her pace.

Soon, he walked into the drugstore.

A cool breeze came towards Mu Rufeng, which refreshed her spirits.

"Hello, I want to buy something."

A young lady in a white coat sitting in front of the counter looked away from the phone screen and asked.

"Do you have Huoxiang Zhengqi Water?" Mu Rufeng said straight to the point.

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

After the young lady finished speaking, she stood up, turned around, and took out a box of Huoxiang Zhengqi water from the glass cabinet at the back.

"Fifteen dollars, I'll pay you."

Mu Rufeng didn't say anything, but directly took the Huoxiang Zhengqi water, then opened it immediately and took out a bottle.

When a small bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water was taken into the mouth, a pungent smell rushed straight to Tianling Gai.

At this moment, Mu Rufeng's face became distorted.

It was this smell that made Mu Rufeng's brain sober up.

Then the second bottle, the third bottle.

After drinking three bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi, Mu Rufeng felt as if her sense of taste was almost gone.

"You don't need to drink so much, one bottle is enough." Seeing this, the young lady said quickly.

"This damn weather is so hot. I can't stand it unless I drink two more bottles."

Mu Rufeng grinned, then complained and showed the payment code.

"Beep! Scan the QR code and the customer will pay 15 yuan via WeChat."

"Yes, it's hot. I'm sweating profusely after just two steps outside." The young lady looked at Mu Rufeng with some sympathy.

Mu Rufeng nodded, took the box of Huoxiang Zhengqi water and left the pharmacy.

After leaving the drugstore, Mu Rufeng did not leave, but turned around and entered the nearby store.

I went to the freezer and picked up a bottle of iced 1L jasmine tea.

After twisting the cap of the bottle, Mu Rufeng drank half the bottle in one breath.

A chilling feeling spread throughout his body.

At the same time, the bitter taste in her mouth was suppressed a lot, and Mu Rufeng felt like she was alive.

I took three more 1.5-liter bottles of ice-cold Nongfu Spring and came to the counter.

"Jasmine tea is 3.5 yuan, water is 7.5 yuan, a total of 11 yuan, I'll take care of it."

Mu Rufeng responded, scanned the QR code to pay and left.

…

Mu Rufeng, male, is 24 years old. As an undergraduate, it has been two years since he graduated.

Four years in college allowed Mu Rufeng to learn certain social skills, but in the big environment, it was too difficult to find a good job.

The initial salary is 3,000, so I ask you if you are afraid!

From nine in the morning to nine in the evening, I ask you if you are afraid!

There will be one meeting in the morning, one meeting at noon, and one meeting in the evening. I will ask you if you are afraid!

A report every day, asking you if you are afraid!

Mu Rufeng was afraid anyway, so he didn't choose a job with a professional counterpart.

Today, Mu Rufeng works as a loader in a community group buying warehouse.

Working twelve hours a day, at the end of the day, my whole body is sore and swollen, and all I have earned is hard-earned money.

Very tiring, really tiring, but make money!

There are not so many tedious and headaches.

For example, several of his college classmates also worked in Changsha for two years. The highest salary was only more than 5,000 yuan, and the lowest salary was more than 2,000 yuan.

As for him, he has seven thousand a month, and he has food and shelter.

This is because there is too much competition in group buying in this community, and business has become bleak.

For example, last year, when his business was good, his monthly salary averaged tens of thousands, and during holidays, his salary could be even higher.

Of course, if the salary is high, it means risking your life.

Just like in this 38-degree weather, under the scorching sun, I have to unload a trailer of goods.

A group of stevedores left and then came, most of them middle-aged.

Only middle-aged people can endure hardship.

Mu Rufeng, for example, is quite able to endure hardships and has persisted here for two full years.

The cousin who brought him into this industry left Mu Rufeng's job in the third month and could not continue.

Of course, Mu Rufeng was not without gains.

Two years of work have also allowed Mu Rufeng, who was originally a little chubby, to gain a strong body. Coupled with the fact that she drinks less, she really has abdominal muscles.

"Xiao Mu, are you feeling better? Do you want to take a rest? Lao Wang and I will be responsible for unloading half of the cargo."

A tall, somewhat dark man stood on the platform. When he saw Mu Rufeng approaching, he immediately spoke.

"Uncle Liu, it's okay. You're fine after drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi water. Come on, you guys also drink a bottle. I also bought you ice water. Take a couple of sips and take a rest."

Mu Rufeng followed Uncle Liu into the semi-trailer and handed Huoxiang Zhengqi water and two bottles of Nongfu Spring to the two of them.

"You can keep the ice water for yourself. I'm old and have a bad stomach. I brought my own herbal tea."

Uncle Liu said, placing the plastic board in his hand on the ground, and then took the Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

After drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, he picked up a large kettle from the ground on one side and gulped down two sips of herbal tea.

"I'm in good health, give it to me, hehe!"

After drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Uncle Wang went forward and took both bottles of water, and then opened one bottle and drank a big sip.

Seeing this, Mu Rufeng smiled and said nothing.

The three of them walked a few steps towards the platform and came to the rear of the semi-trailer.

In this place, the iron eaves above the warehouse can just block the sunlight.

As for the unloading place further ahead, sorry, there is no shelter, and the sun is scorching.

Uncle Wang is a relatively thin man, in his forties, and he likes to take advantage of small things.

As for Uncle Liu, he is a relatively honest but somewhat stubborn uncle, who is about three to five years older than Uncle Wang.

"Xiao Mu, you are 24 this year, right? Do you have a girlfriend?" Uncle Wang suddenly said.

"No."

"At this age, it's time to find one. Xiao Mu can endure hardships, is strong, and looks good. I'll introduce you to one tomorrow." Uncle Liu said with a smile.

"That's great." Mu Rufeng said with a smile.

"I remember that your daughter is about to graduate, isn't it? Isn't this a good opportunity to introduce her to Xiao Mu?" Uncle Wang said suddenly.

Uncle Liu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mu Rufeng smiling and said, "Uncle Liu's daughter is from a 211 university. How can I be worthy of her? I just do hard labor."

"Let's not talk about this. I'll introduce you to a good girl tomorrow." Uncle Liu patted Mu Rufeng and said.

"Oh, by the way, have you heard that another driver died in the wine warehouse." Old Wang suddenly said in a low voice.

"Huh? Another one died? Is it true? I remember that one died a few days ago?" Old Liu's voice also became a little low.
