Chapter Thirty Years
The atmosphere was very depressing. The steamship had left the dock, sailed into the river, and headed towards the next target. In the next two days, the ship would directly reach the dock in Tonghai City.
There were no seats in the boat warehouse. Everyone sat on the ground. Those who came early sat against the wall, while those who came later could only sit back to back, or sit back to nothing.
It's okay now, it's the real torment when you go to bed at night, but everyone can only survive two nights.
It was noon when the boat was driving, but everyone stayed in the dim warehouse and felt that the time was extremely long. There was only a round window that was fluctuating with the horizontal plane, and the river was undulating and undulating, and there was no view. There were noises, crying, and mechanical noises coming from other warehouses.
"Brother Liu, don't be discouraged, there is no way out." Zhao Hu said: "By the way, what's going on with these dolls?" Zhao Hu was very curious about the children around ten years old in the same warehouse.
"They have some children who come to the city to do child labor, but the people who lead them live in the upper warehouse." Brother Liu, who had just lost his dream, answered Zhao Hu's question.
"Child labor? Did you enter a factory? I heard that the factory in Tonghaicheng is larger than a village, and there are hundreds of people working in it. Is it true?"
Brother Liu was very surprised. Why didn’t Zhao Hu ask the master who came together? Seeing that the master is a city home, he should know more: “I don’t know either.”
Zhao Hu mainly doesn't want to be embarrassed. If he asks the wrong question, wouldn't it be a joke? So he doesn't want to ask. Once he asks, he will definitely make him ugly. Once he makes him ugly, he will not be as good as Ye Bei. After all, he still wants to compete with Ye Bei.
Zhang San also heard some of the smell. Seeing that Zhao Hu kept asking others and not asking him, he must have thoughts. But he didn't seem to offend him either? Zhang San was a little puzzled. Not only did he not offend him, he also kindly helped Zhaojia Village. Is this the attitude of repaying kindness?
Qin Ying was familiar with Zhao Hu: "Brother Zhang, don't mind, he is yelling with Ye Beidou."
"Hmm? Are you not from the same village?" Zhang San had a little thought after asking. It seemed that it was a problem for young people.
Ye Bei is young and promising, and has great strength. It is natural for Qin Ying to like him, but Zhao Hu likes Qin Ying, so he doesn't deal with Ye Bei. Because Ye Bei can chat with him, Zhao Hu doesn't want to chat with him. Zhang San immediately knew the key to the problem: "I understand, you need not say anything, I understand the matter of young people."
Qin Ying originally wanted to explain the conflict between the two, but she didn't expect that Zhang San immediately looked clear, but she had no place to use her well prepared words.
On the other hand, Ye Bei really focused on reading the "Holy Book", with a serious expression that I love to study and learning makes me progress. Although the light is not good and the words on the book are small, Ye Bei has internal strength and can see at night, so he still reads quickly.
After learning Qigong, Ye Bei's brain became very flexible and his memory improved by leaps and bounds, so he could see it quickly when he was studying.
The writings of the other world have not changed much. In fact, Ye Bei even believes that the Jiuzhou Continent is a parallel universe, a parallel universe with strange powers and chaos. There is no difference in the language of the two universes. At least the writings of the Jiuzhou Continent are the most familiar square characters Ye Bei is.
The Holy Book is a translation form, and some words are difficult to understand, but read them through first, and then ask the nun to ask the meaning of these strange words.
"Brother, do you know the words?" Just as Ye Bei was studying hard, a teenager in his teens came over in the Child Labor Reserve Team.
Ye Bei looked up and found that the dirt-faced boy was looking at him with bright eyes. For a moment, the time traveler himself was stunned. It was difficult for him to describe this look, it was desire, and what was revealed from the boy's eyes was incomparable desire and envy.
"What's the kid?" Ye Bei said kindly.
"Can you teach me?" The young man mustered up the courage to come over in hopes of recognizing words.
"Of course." How could Ye Bei reject the young man who longed for knowledge: "Let's go to the deck." Although he could see it, the young man would definitely not see it. They had to go to a bright place.
"Thank you brother." The boy bowed deeply.
May I have your name?
"Li Chuyi." said the young man.
"Can you write your own name?"
The boy shook his head.
"Then I will teach you, come with me." Ye Bei asked other child workers at the same time: "Are there anyone who wants to learn to recognize words? You can come together."
The child laborers looked at each other, but in the end no one stood up again. Only Li Chuyi was determined to learn to recognize words.
"Let's go." Seeing that there was no one else, Ye Bei took Li Chuyi to a bright place.
First, Ye Bei wrote on the deck with his fingers, and asked Li Chuyi to write with him one stroke at a time. After a while, the boy said that he had learned: "Brother, I can write my name already." He smiled happily.
"I'll go find paper and pen. You have to write it down with a pen. If you don't write it for two days, you will forget it." Ye Bei didn't have paper and pen, so he had to find a way.
"It's okay, I will definitely remember it. Brother, please teach me how to write letters. I want to write letters to my parents after I make money." This is why Li Chuyi wanted to learn to write, and wrote letters to his family.
"You underestimate writing too much." Because the boy worked very hard, Ye Bei could not lose his chain. He had to teach the boy seriously: "Wait, don't run around, don't get close to the side of the boat, I'll go find paper and pen." Ye Bei thought of the kind nun and prepared to ask her.
The nun and Sister Yun were in the same warehouse. They were both medium warehouses, and the two of them had a cabin. However, after Sister Yun and Sister Yun quarreled, Sister Yun changed positions with her sisters.
Of course, Ye Bei didn't know the nun's cabin, but he remembered the nun's smell, so he found the nun following the smell.
"You are such a pious person." The nun couldn't help but be amazed when he saw Ye Xiu coming to the door. He would definitely become an excellent believer.
"Nun, I want to ask if you have any paper and pen. If so, I want to borrow it." Ye Bei said.
"Yes, wait a moment." The nun did not ask Ye Bei what he wanted to do with paper and pen. He took out a stack of white paper and a pencil: "You can use it, you have to be welcome."
"The Holy Lord will bless you." Ye Bei thanked her in the nun's style.
Li Chuyi was very obedient. He didn't run around or approach the boat, but just waited on the spot. Seeing that Ye Bei had really found paper and pen, he admired him even more. Because he didn't understand that everyone was on the boat, why could the elder brother find something he couldn't find?
With paper and pen, this is like teaching, which made Li Chuyi start writing. Sure enough, although he remembered it, he was still a mess of writing. Ye Bei carefully corrected it, from the posture of holding the pen to the order of strokes.
"Writing is not done overnight. You need to practice frequently. I can't teach you much on the boat, but I can write a copybook. When you go back and write it, you will learn the commonly used characters first."
