Shuangyu Port Beigang District, with the construction of Nanyang Town, more and more residents of Beigang District moved their homes to the town. Although living here is subject to certain restrictions, such as not being able to throw garbage anywhere, spitting, and making random things.

But Nanyang Town is the best place for public security in Shuangyu Port. There is a Jinyiwei here to stay. Usually, even some thieves rarely happen, because if you are caught once, you will be whipped in public.

It's not good to have a taste.

With the public security, with the expansion of Nanyang Town, the corresponding supporting facilities in the town are gradually being improved. For example, more important facilities such as school schools and clinics can be easily found in Nanyang Town, so this

It also attracted more people to settle in Nanyang Town. The population of the town is now close to 30,000. If it were placed in the Ming Dynasty, it could be classified as a county town.

However, although Nanyang Town is good, the living cost here is not low. Especially in the town, it is not allowed to build randomly. If you want to live here, you either build your own house or rent someone else's house. All of these are required

It costs a considerable amount of money, among which the people in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce have relatively high incomes, and the town has discounts for the people in the Chamber of Commerce, so it is not a problem, but for those low-income people in other chambers of commerce, it is a big problem.

Then, at least in a short time, he might not be able to make up enough money to move to the town.

It is precisely because of this that although Nanyang Town is developing very fast, it is almost at a bottleneck. Almost all the capable and qualified people have lived in the town, and the remaining few people who are not capable can only stay.

In the chaotic residential area, fortunately, the original residential area was much less crowded, which improved the living conditions there. Moreover, Shuangyu Port is developing faster and faster, and all chambers of commerce can earn more money than before.

The people below have also gained some savings. I believe that in a few years, these people will be able to save enough money to build houses in the town.

On a clearing land south of Nanyang Town is very close to the port, there are many strange-shaped houses built here. Because there are two small rivers here that converge into a river and eventually flow into the sea, it is called Sanchakou.

Sanchakou covers a large area. It is said that before the construction of Nanyang Town, it was once the largest residential area in the North Port of Shuangyu Port. However, with the prosperity of Nanyang Town, most of the residents of Sanchakou chose to move to the town to live. The rest

They are all poor people who are temporarily unable to move away. In other words, this place has become a slum area in Shuangyu Port.

In the past, not all the poor people lived in Sanchakou. A considerable number of them were middle and upper-level buildings of various chambers of commerce. They built relatively decent houses here, but after moving to the town, except for a few people who retained the houses, the rest of the houses were the same.

Everyone moved the entire house, and even the blue bricks and green tiles on the roof were demolished and brought to the town to build a new house, and the original old yard was completely abandoned.

However, no matter how dilapidated these abandoned houses are, they are better than some of the straw sheds and dirt houses at Sanchakou. So those who didn't have time to move out naturally saw that their yard was despised, so they naturally lived in without any hesitation.

Just simply repair and strengthen the dilapidated house, it will be much better than your original straw shed.

There is such an abandoned yard on the easternmost side of Sanchakou. The reason for this yard is quite special. The owner of the yard is the president of a medium-sized chamber of commerce in North Korea. Later, because the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce forced the Japanese and Koreans away,

The president of the North Korean Chamber of Commerce moved his home back to North Korea. The valuable things in the yard were taken away, but the built houses could only be thrown here. After all, Shuangyu Port was not before Nanyang Town appeared.

Someone is willing to spend money to buy a house, because even the most basic safety here cannot be guaranteed.

The Korean Chamber of Commerce moved away in a hurry. Although the valuable things in the yard were moved away, the yard was kept intact. This was very rare at the Sanchakou, so many people rushed to move in.

.As a result, several fights were triggered. The last group of coolies from Shandong relied on their taller figure than the southerners and had practiced their fists for several days. They won the fight and occupied this very intact yard.

.

Coolie is the lowest-level workers in Shuangyu Port. They don’t need to know any skills, they just need to have some strength and load and unload goods on the dock. Although they are so tired every day, they have more work and more rewards. They carry them every day.

How much money can you get? Generally speaking, the wages earned by a middle-aged man are not only enough for him to eat and live by himself, but also save some. When he returns home during the Chinese New Year, he will take them home as a family member.

The main expenses for the year.

It is New Year's Eve today, and Shuangyu Port has suddenly become deserted. Most of the coolies living in Sanchakou are the lowest-level coolies. Those coolies from Ningbo, Songjiang, and Zhoushan are all very close to Shuangyu Port today.

It was the New Year in the morning. The rest were some coolies far away from home. These coolies usually chose two reliable brothers a while in advance to let them go home early and bring the money they earned by the way.

For the young and old at home.

The same is true for those Shandong coolies who live in the yard of North Koreans. Half a month ago, they asked two reliable brothers to bring the money back. They probably got home early now and had the money they saved in a year.

I guess I can have a good New Year at home and even add new clothes to the children.

In the evening, the main hall of the yard was brightly lit. The candles that were reluctant to light in the past were taken out and lit today, illuminating the entire hall was extremely transparent. There were two large long tables in the middle of the main hall.

The dishes on the table were also very simple, with large bowls of wine and large pieces of meat, forty or fifty tall Shandong men sitting around the table. For them, this was the most sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

"Dear brothers, I, Zhu Jiu, thank you for your help over the past year, so that we Shandong people have gained a foothold in Shuangyu Port, and have also grabbed such a large yard. I won't say anything else, everyone

I've done this bowl of wine!" The red-faced man sitting in the first place stood up and raised his glass and said loudly.

This person who calls himself Zhu Jiu is the head of this group of Shandong coolies. He is not only extremely strong, but also has great martial arts skills. Last time he clashed with another bunch of coolies, he once fought five of them. In addition to martial arts, Zhu Jiu also had a fight.

He is upright and fair. When his own people have conflicts, he can be unbiased and obedient, so many people are very convinced of him.

Seeing Zhu Jiu toasting, the men in the hall stood up, picked up big wine bowls and toasted Zhu Jiu one by one, and then raised their heads and drank them all cleanly.

"Brother Jiu, I heard that you are going to take all your sister-in-law, nephew and nieces this time. Isn't that true?" As soon as everyone sat down, they heard one of the men shouting loudly.

"There is actually this matter. It seems that Brother Jiu has been feeling uncomfortable this year. He is so anxious that he wants to take his sister-in-law to vent his anger!" A long-faced man sitting on another table also shouted loudly.

He said, his face was full of dirty expressions, which made everyone laugh.

Coolie earns little money, and few people will take their families over. However, these adult men also have their own needs, so when they are really uncomfortable, they will inevitably go to the cheap brothels in the port to vent the fire, but Zhu Jiu has never been there.

That's why the man with a long face said so.

"You donkey face, you are so stupid. You just want me all day long. Be careful of getting flowers and willows one day!" Zhu Jiu looked at the man with a long face and cursed. They were all rough people and often made rude jokes, and no one would do it because of this.

And keep it to heart.

Next, everyone made a few more jokes, and finally the topic returned to the fact that Zhu Jiu brought his family to Shuangyu Port. Zhu Jiu ate a big fat piece of meat at this time, smeared his mouth and said: "

Brothers probably have also felt that there are more and more ships coming and going from Shuangyu Port now, and I can’t finish the work I carry on the wharf. I, Zhu Jiu, don’t have anything else, just have the strength to do the work I do in one day than others.

It's been more than two days."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jiu paused, took a big sip of wine and then said, "There are no elderly people in my family, only my wife and two children rent other people's land in my hometown to grow. The amount of food I harvest every year is not enough.

They make a living, and the family is always unaware of it for many years, so it is better to bring the whole family here. I heard that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is now recruiting women to do laundry and cook, and I have a brother here.

When the Chamber of Commerce is doing things, I ask him to find an acquaintance and send my wife to the Chamber of Commerce to work. The wages I earn are much better than farming in my hometown.”

Hearing Zhu Jiu's words, other Shandong men congratulated him one after another, and they were also very envious. After all, no one was willing to separate from their wives and children at home, but they did not have the strength of Zhu Jiu, and it was a bit difficult for the money they earned to support the whole family.

Secondly, there is no way for Zhu Jiu to arrange his wife to work in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. Although she is just cooking and washing clothes, her monthly salary is no less than that of their coolies. Maybe Zhu Jiu will even go back in the future.

I was the first to move to Nanyang Town to live.

Although I know that I can't take my family like Zhu Jiu for the time being, Zhu Jiu has set an example for them. Many people have even begun to think about what they should do to take their family members. For them, these are the reasons why they are doing.

For coolie, the most hope is to join a chamber of commerce, especially a large chamber of commerce like the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, which is a place they yearn for, because as long as they join the chamber of commerce, their income will be increased a few times immediately.

Unfortunately, the Chamber of Commerce recruits people very strictly. If it does not have special talents, it may be difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to be attracted to.
