Chapter 830 830.Brothers of the same family
Even though the two of them had just met, they chatted quite thoroughly:
“You’re not a local either, are you?”
"I'm not. I worked with a person in charge before, and we called him foreman. He was quite nice, but this time he said there weren't enough people and asked if we would like to come and earn two months' money, so I came."
He smiled cheerfully, his expression full of expectation:
“If you do this for two months, you can go home when the weather is cold, you won’t miss the Chinese New Year, and you can still make some money…”
The road builder was stunned: "But isn't this going to the village?"
He took a look at the only way out: "If you want to build a house in the village, do you need to recruit people from other places?"
“That’s what you said...” The motion-sick man was unhappy:
“Aren’t you from other places too? Now that everyone has gone out to work, how many people are there in the local area?”
That's true, the man building the road opposite didn't say anything either.
“I heard that he was a boss who opened a factory and a company in the village. His factory had already been built, but I didn’t catch up. This time, he built several dormitories, but I didn’t catch up.”
"There is still new work at the moment. There are not enough people. It is to re-build the family's house and do some work to build dormitories. It will be completed in about two months."
“Then you’re going from one village to another...it’s hard work...” he muttered.
Building a house doesn't matter: "Anyway, the salary is quite high, and the boss doesn't default on the money. Sometimes people even pay him in advance if they don't pay him."
"For the work I usually do, I can earn two to three hundred a day. This time, the foreman said that the food is very good and the accommodation is comfortable, 260 a day. My son is getting married next year, so I can work here to save money. It’s too miserable to spend the Chinese New Year, which is embarrassing for the children.”
When he said this, the other party was also moved.
Those who don’t default these days are all fairy bosses, right? Who wouldn't envy anyone who works on a construction site?
“Come on, brother, my road construction is actually outsourced by a construction company. I can do any kind of work, no matter how big or small it is.”
“Let’s become friends. If you have any work to do later, tell me.”
The two of them paired their mobile phones and immediately became happy:
“Your name is Zhou Dayong? I call you Zhou Dayong, the second eldest son in the family, and I’m still from the same family!”
Last names are a magical thing. When men chat outside, having the same surname seems to bring them closer together.
In just a few words, the two of them had already talked about everything and called themselves brothers. It wasn't until the van started calling for people over there that they waved goodbye.
…
Zhou Dayong's motion sickness has passed and he has regained his energy.
He leaned on the back of the front seat and asked the driver:
“It’s not far. Can we catch up at noon?”
“It’s not far.” The driver was a local: “It’s just that the road is difficult. We have to walk this section for 40 minutes. It’s very bumpy.”
After finishing speaking, he comforted them: "The boss said, just deliver it before noon, so that you can catch up with lunch. There is still time, if any of you get motion sick, please tell me in advance, I will stop and let's take a rest!"
"If you're not in a hurry, don't vomit in my car. You see, I have to wash the car myself in the village. It's a lot of trouble!"
As soon as he said this, the people in the car got out of the car. They were not willing to vomit in the car if they could vomit on the roadside!
Zhou Dayong was caught off guard, and his newly empty stomach began to churn again. By the time he got off the car, half of his life was about to be taken away - why can't he get rid of his car sickness after all these years of working? However, when they turned around again, everyone was stunned.
All I could see were the rolling hills in front of me, and the breeze was particularly refreshing. At the foot of the mountain is a large blue pond with white clouds, and a circle of scattered fishermen around it.
A group of ducks swung their feet mightily, swimming from one end of the pond to the other. The two geese in the lead were strong and strong, with their heads held high. They plunged into the water from time to time, looking particularly fierce.
Besides you are green vegetable fields, and directly in front is a large-scale factory that looks brand new and bright.
Smell it carefully and you will find that there is still a faint aroma coming from the kitchen floating in the air——
It smells so good! This is meaty! There must be some stew for lunch, and there’s a lot of it!
Everyone became excited instantly: No wonder the foreman said the food here is good! Just smell it!
The next moment, the familiar foreman Lao Xu came over and greeted everyone while leading people up to the dormitory building.
“Did you see? This is our dormitory, and that is the women’s dormitory. We can’t enter. We can’t enter even if there’s no one inside. It’s locked and monitored.”
“This is our dormitory, with bunk beds, four people in a room, and the toilet and shower room are inside.”
Lao Xu had nothing to say to the workers. Now he is showing the good things, but he also has to say some bad things first:
“This is the new building built by our engineering team this year. Everything inside is brand new, even the beds are new, and the walls are snow-white.”
The air conditioners are all brand new. Although they are not used nowadays, we have to say this in advance.
“You guys are staying here, please pay attention to your hygiene, and don’t ruin other people’s things. Don’t spit on the ground or blow your nose for me, and pack away your stinky shoes and socks when you leave...”
The rough old man works hard and becomes disgraced every day, so he really can’t put much hope in the health report.
So Lao Xu kept talking again and again, for fear that something would be ruined and he would not be able to recover.
"I'll tell you the truth, the money here is very generous and not picky. I've done several jobs, and I haven't defaulted on any of them."
“Besides, my boss has said that there may still be work next year, so it depends on our performance.”
“If you want to ruin my reputation for nothing, do you think I want business or need to recruit new people?”
As soon as he said this, the room became quiet.
But they were all familiar old workers, and Lao Xu followed closely to comfort him:
“Don’t think my words are unpleasant, just look at where I live. When will we have such conditions for our work?”
“In the canteen here, you can eat whatever you want, with both meat and vegetables available every day. The meat is not only stewed with fatty meat slices, but also braised pork and big ribs, which is available from time to time.”
“Be polite to the chef. The chef’s teacher used to do state banquets. He worked as a chef here because of relationships and favors. People came to recuperate, so he became a chef here.”
Anyway, he had a fat belly after eating. After staying here for less than half a year, he was still running back and forth on the construction site. He even gained twenty kilograms. Now he has big muscles and a round waist, and he looks very rich and unkind.
So when he talks about food now, he means it sincerely:
"I have never had this kind of food anywhere before. Please behave better! The dormitory must be inspected when you leave. If it is ruined, I will deduct the money from the salary. Each dormitory has an average Spread the buckle!"
As soon as this was said, someone murmured:
“Isn’t that house just for living in? Why does it have so many rules?”
“That’s right, we didn’t talk about who was in charge of who in these Datong shops before!”
Update five. Dawn! Right before your eyes!
