What does rework mean in Cantonese?

In Cantonese, "rework" means going to work.

The origin of Cantonese:

There are sayings such as the elegant language of the northern Central Plains and the Chu language of the State of Chu. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Han people in the Central Plains migrated to Lingnan continuously, which promoted the development and stereotypes of Cantonese. Cantonese has not changed much since Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Cantonese is one of the southern dialects that retain many components of medieval sounds. The most prominent feature is that it completely retains the common entering tones of medieval sounds, and the initial consonants, vowels and tones are highly consistent with the Standard Rhyme Book of Ancient Chinese.

Chen Li, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, believes that the tone of Guangzhou dialect is consistent with the rhyme book Qieyun in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, because "the people of the Central Plains have moved to Guangzhou for more than a thousand years, and now the wide voice is the voice of the Central Plains in the Sui and Tang Dynasties." Mr. nan huaijin, a master of Chinese studies, thinks Cantonese is the national language of the Tang Dynasty.
