"You two are looking for work, so I will hurry up and build a warm little nest for us. Let's do this. Because we are new to us, we are not familiar with some places. So after I build the house and finish the work with you, whoever finishes the work first will wait here first. So as not to be confused again!" said my cousin.

"Okay! That's it, let's go for a happy day!" said Sun Wukong.

"Okay! Let's go!" Zhu Bajie responded.

"Don't forget to wait in this place." My cousin repeated the instructions.

Sun Wukong explained: "After a careful plan, the three of us divided into two waves, like a goal that we thought was happy in our hearts. Sometimes we often clash about interests that should not have conflicts. This can only be said to be me, Zhu Bajie and my cousin. As for this, there is nothing good to conflict for us three brothers. How can grasshoppers on a rope have a dispute? Unless the rope is broken, or they are not grasshoppers themselves."

Sun Wukong paused and continued to explain: "For the three of us, the most valuable thing at this moment will not be an object favored by humans, but an emotion that is ordinary but extraordinary, and extraordinary but ordinary. So they now feel that brotherhood can surpass anything, or there is no comparison at all."

Sun Wukong continued to explain: "First talk about Zhu Bajie and me. After we separated from our cousin, we came to the most prosperous area in the town. They thought it was very likely that we could find a job to work hard here. So we looked along the store, desperate for a certain store to post a recruitment notice, and it also said that our store urgently needed an old man, one hundred taels of silver per hour, and the hardware facilities were complete, waiting for the old man to come. As the saying goes, hard work pays off. With my unyielding spirit and I, Zhu Bajie, finally found a store that urgently recruits laborers. We unveiled the notice, entered the store, and asked about the situation in detail."'

Sun Wukong paused for a moment and said, "The decoration of the store is not luxurious, and the furnishings look like it has been for many years. There are no customers in the store, only an old man standing in front of the counter, and he looks about seventy at first glance."

Sun Wukong approached and asked respectfully: "Hello, old man, you are the shopkeeper of this store!"

The old man looked up and down at Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie behind him, then nodded and said, "That's right! I'm the shopkeeper here, you..." After a pause, he looked at Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie behind him, and then said, "Are you two here to have a meal?"

Sun Wukong moved the chairs blocking the aisle between the tables on both sides, and then said, "Old man, we saw that there was a notice outside your store, we..."

Before Sun Wukong could finish speaking, the old man rushed to say, "Oh! I understand, you two are here to find work."

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie nodded.

The old man picked up half of the cigarette snake on the counter, ignited it with flint, took a few mouthfuls with pleasure, and said, "I posted that notice half a year ago, and I have also come to find a job, but they all left in less than two days because they couldn't stand my mercy. Can you two bear it?"

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie intentionally or unintentionally.

Sun Wukong beat his chest and said, "Yes, hey--this cannot be said to be your mercy on us. You give us money. It is natural for us to listen to you."

Zhu Bajie also beat his chest and said, "Don't worry, you can help us. You can do whatever you say, and you will do it."

The old man exterminated the smoke snake, bent down and took out an iron box from under the counter, put the remaining part of the smoke snake in the iron box, then covered the lid, put the iron box back in the original place, and then said: "Just say it's useless, just work here first. The wages are ten taels a month, and this wages are also high in Yun Township. And I also allow you two to eat and live. Of course, you can choose not to eat and live, so I can save you two."

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie said in unison: "Live, live, eat, eat."

Sun Wukong said excitedly: "You are a living Bodhisattva. Originally, this fat man and I wanted to find some work to fill our stomachs, but I didn't expect that the conditions you offered to us were so good and so happy. Why did you suddenly feel so warm this day?"

Zhu Bajie was so excited that he kept applauding.

The old man shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Isn't this treatment all the time in the world? I usually have no friends in my store. I'm too lonely to stay alone, and I can't find someone who can talk. Oh, by the way! What are your names?"

After hearing the old man say this, Sun Wukong suddenly felt sour in his heart and couldn't help but feel pitiful to the old man. Sun Wukong said, "If you call me Sun Wukong in the future, you will be able to do it."

Zhu Bajie also felt pity for the old man and then replied: "My name is Zhu Bajie. In the future, for your convenience, just call me fat!"

Then Sun Wukong continued, "What do we call you in the future?"

The old man coughed and replied, "Everyone in the town calls me Mr. Qin, so just call me this from now on."

Immediately afterwards, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie bowed to Mr. Qin together.

Sun Wukong said embarrassedly: "Old Qin, I wonder if you agree to it?"

Old Qin picked up the tea on the counter, took a sip and responded: "Tell me!"

Sun Wukong said politely: "We have a cousin, we come together, I want to..."

Before the mosquito could finish his speech, Mr. Qin replied frantically: "Okay, your two cousins ​​can also move in."

After hearing this, Zhu Bajie held Mr. Qin's hand excitedly and said with tears in his face: "You are such a great person that is rare in a thousand years. I would like to thank you on behalf of my cousin."

Sun Wukong choked and took a while to say, "Old Qin, we are not people who recognize money. In the world, people say that people have to be authentic in everything they do. You take me, Zhu Bajie, and your cousin are here. We don't want your money. As long as you take care of our food and accommodation, we can do whatever we have."

Mr. Qin refused: "Why don't you want money? Each of you three is fifteen taels of silver every month, including food and accommodation. Don't tell me what is authentic or not. You are all young, and the road ahead is still long, and income is the foundation."

When Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie heard what Mr. Qin said, their hearts warmed up. They didn't say anything else, they were just standing there excitedly.

Mr. Qin asked Sun Wukong, "Where are your two cousins?"

"I don't know where to build a house," Sun Wukong replied.

"Do your two cousins ​​do construction?" asked Mr. Qin.

"No! That's the case. We just came to Yunxiang today. We were not familiar with the place and had no money in our pockets. The three of us decided to do odd jobs and earn some money to fill our stomachs. My cousin went to find a place to build a house because we found that there was no cave in Yunxiang, and we were afraid that there would be no place to live at night."

Sun Wukong said, with endless bitterness on his face.

Mr. Qin nodded after hearing this.

Zhu Bajie pulled the corner of Sun Wukong's clothes and whispered: "Bajie, the situation has changed now. Should we go find our cousin and tell him?"
