Chapter 41: I'm a little cold
The dark night is like a smooth black silk, enveloping the whole sky, and the endless stars are dotted with it, and the silence is long.
Three o'clock in the morning, Flood Bay construction site.
"Squeak!"
Huang Doudou stepped on the brakes, parked the van on the side of the road, and looked at the workers who were still wielding shovels and hoes under the searchlight, and moved out a foam box for thermal insulation in the rear compartment: "Okay! Everyone stop what they are doing! Come to me for supper!"
"Hulala!"
When the workers who were working heard this, they stopped their work one after another and gathered towards the side of Huang Doudou.
Zhang Ao, who was in charge of following the workers and supervisors, walked to the side of the car, took a few suppers, and walked towards the tent where Yang Dong was.
"Brother Dong, Brother Wang, let's eat something!" Zhang Ao said softly after putting the lunch box on the table.
"Hey, okay!" Yang Dong picked up the plastic bowl with wontons, opened the lid and took a sip of hot soup, looking at Zhang Ao's arm that was bitten by mosquitoes: "This half night, it's quite a crime, right?"
"I am not guilty of sin, but I am blessed compared to the workers who work with hoes. Zhang Ao grinned indifferently and sat aside with the lunch box.
"When these trees are planted, I will give you and Doudou a salary increase. After listening to Zhang Ao's words, Yang Dong smiled: "How many trees have been planted?"
"Although we are rushing to work overnight, but the construction conditions at night are limited, so the speed is not fast, I planted fifteen trees here, Brother Tianchi took ten workers, planted trees in the front section, how many he planted there, I don't know, I estimate that if you go according to this progress, before noon tomorrow, these fifty trees can almost be completed." Zhang Ao responded logically and clearly.
"Hmm. Yang Dong nodded slightly: "The current situation is quite grim, so this batch of trees is more important to us, you should keep an eye on it." β
"Understood!"
......
Several people gathered in the tent, after supper, Zhang Ao took the workers and continued to plant trees, Yang Dong also left the tent, inspected along the roadside, and found that there was no problem, returned to the tent, and as soon as he entered the door, Wang Xu was holding his mobile phone, smirking there.
"In the middle of the night, what are you laughing at, so happy?" Yang Dong saw Wang Xu's expression and asked casually.
"It's okay, there's a big girl who added my WeChat, it's very interesting, let's talk about it here, and the professional knowledge of dredging sewers. Wang Xu tinkered with his mobile phone and responded in a casual tone.
"Hehe, if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you can really pull calves. Yang Dong saw that Wang Xuxi's eyes were red, and he was still chatting with his mobile phone, and sat back on his bed: "I'll squint for a while, you keep an eye on it for me." β
"Okay, you can sleep!" Wang Xu looked at the phone screen and answered without raising his head.
......
After a night's rush of work, at ten o'clock in the morning the next day, the fifty pine trees that had been transported in advance had all been planted.
"Don't say it, I'm usually used to seeing broad-leaved trees, and this cold pine tree looks quite delicate!" Luo Han said, standing in front of the tent door, smoking a cigarette.
"Alas, it looks good, but money is also good money. After listening to Luohan's words, Lin Tianchi moved his stiff limbs and walked into the tent: "Dongzi, after these fifty trees are planted, the money in our hands has bottomed out, what will happen next?"
"What else can I do, go to Xinfan to ask for money. Yang Dong, who was brushing his teeth, rinsed his mouth and responded with a smile.
"When Lao Huang talked to me before, the two sides had already agreed that we had to finish a kilometer of work before he would make a second payment, and now that the work is only half done, can he give the money?" Lin Tianchi asked with some uncertainty when he heard this.
"Don't worry, before we planted the tree, Liu Baolong could still calm down, but now that the tree is planted, he must be confused. Yang Dong wiped his mouth and sat on the chair next to him: "No accident, he must have made moves in the past few days, as long as he moves, it will be easy for us to ask Lu Jianwei for money." β
"You mean, Liu Baolong's people will come to the construction site?"
"It's not precise, Liu Baolong is a thief who doesn't die, since he can't stop us with official connections, he must have to talk about something else. Yang Dong had already thought about it, before Liu Baolong used the upper-level relationship to harm him, he couldn't resist it, and he gritted his teeth and endured it, but if that group of people really blatantly came to the construction site to make trouble, even if all the people in Sanhe were lying down, he would have to do it with Liu Baolong.
The reason is very simple, if you don't do it, your job will be gone.
"Okay, I see. Lin Tianchi nodded, and didn't say much: "Then you are busy first, I will take Zhang Ao to the farmers' market to buy a bucket, pour water and water the tree, otherwise when the temperature rises at noon, the tree will not be able to live." β
"Well, you can get busy!"
After Lin Tianchi left, Yang Dong glanced at Wang Xu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, still chatting with his mobile phone on WeChat, and was a little speechless: "What time did you sleep last night?"
"I haven't slept yet. Wang Xu's eyes were bloodshot and he replied with a yawn.
"Let's talk for a night?" Yang Dong was stunned when he heard this.
"Hmm. Wang Xu sat up from the bed and moved his body: "I'm a person, my crotch can't be idle, and I usually talk about netizens, but it's the first time I've met to talk like this." β
"You can chat with WeChat for a night, and you are really energetic. Yang Dong sat down next to Wang Xu with a smile, took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Brother Wang, now that the first batch of trees has been planted, I feel a lot more at ease, but for the next tree, I have to trouble you to help contact you." β
"Dongzi, it's okay for me to help you contact the tree, but have you ever thought about it, if it goes on like this, this matter will not be a long-term solution after all. After listening to Yang Dong's words, Wang Xu put down his mobile phone and leaned on the iron railing at the head of the bed: "Last night, I also thought about you carefully, but no matter how I think about it, I think this matter is quite nonsense, because even if we really find a suitable tree source, it is estimated that the price will not be too low. β
"I know. After listening to Wang Xu's words, Yang Dong took a deep breath, and then rubbed his palms and spoke: "Since the moment I saw the contract change in the garden, I understood that this job was not easy to do, but now I have no other way but to choose to carry it hard, I can't let go of this breath, otherwise as soon as I loosen up, everyone's hearts will be scattered." β
"Yes, if a team loses cohesion, it will be difficult to succeed in the future. Wang Xu nodded understandingly: "I understand what you mean, my ability is limited, but in the past few days, I will try my best to work harder, and strive to compress the price of the next trees into your budget, I dare not guarantee that you will make money, but at least ensure that you can construct normally!"
"Brother Wang, thank you!" Yang Dong showed a grateful smile after listening to Wang Xu's promise.
"There's nothing to thank, people want to move forward in this life, don't they rely on friends, since I recognize you as a friend, I will definitely make you with my heart. Wang Xu responded to Yang Dong's words and stood up: "Now that the first batch of trees is loaded, there is nothing for me to do at the construction site, tonight, I made an appointment with a few friends who are also in the tree business to see if they have any other channels to help purchase a batch of trees back!"
"Do you need me to go over and help you settle the account or something?" Yang Dong asked with a smile when he heard this.
"Forget it, we are all insiders, if you are there, there are some things that everyone can't talk about. Wang Xu waved his hand and refused with a smile.
"Well, that's fine, then you drive slower. β
"It's fine. β
β......οΌβ
During the conversation, Yang Dong had already sent Wang Xu out of the tent, and then watched Wang Xu leave in a Jetta, thought about it, flipped out WeChat, transferred 2,000 yuan to Wang Xu, and remarked two words: rice money.
And Wang Xu received Yang Dong's transfer, and he was not hypocritical, and received it directly.
Because a batch of trees had been planted on the construction site, Yang Dong lived at the construction site in order to prevent Liu Baolong's people from coming back to make trouble.
......
Wang Xu does not have his own house in the big L, the rental place is located in the Chunliu River area of G Jingzi District, on the way home, he called a few peers, made an appointment to eat together in the evening, and when he drove back to his residence, it was already more than twelve o'clock at noon, Wang Xu, who had chatted with WeChat for a night, was sleepy, and he didn't even have time to eat the soaked instant noodles, so he fell asleep on the bed, and when Wang Xu woke up, the time was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, after getting up, he went into the bathroom to wash up, and then changed into clean clothes and drove to the hotel that was promisedγ
Late, nine o'clock.
"Brother Guang, today's matter, you really helped me a lot, let me tell you, this is also my daughter-in-law in her hometown, or I have to take you back to my house and give your daughter-in-law to use!"
"me off, your grandma's grandson. Brother Guang, who was hugged by Wang Xu, was about thirty years old, although he was also drunk on his face, but obviously not as drunk as Wang Xu: "Da Xu, what is the relationship between you and the people of Sanhe, so hard to help them?"
"Friends. Wang Xu, who was already a little drunk, grinned: "Recently, we have a good relationship!"
"Okay, I see that you haven't been drinking less, so let's do it today, when you sober up, call me, and let's study the matter of Fa Shu!" Brother Guang heard Wang Xu say this, so he didn't ask any more.
"Hey, good!" Wang Xu nodded with a sigh of relief from the corner of his mouth.
After Wang Xu stood at the door of the hotel and sent the invited guests away one by one, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Yang Dong's phone.
......
Inside the Sanhe construction site.
"Ringing ringing!"
In the tent, Yang Dong, who was sitting at the head of the bed soaking his feet, saw the caller ID and stretched out his hand to connect the phone: "Hey, Brother Wang!"
"Dongzi, it's done. On the other end of the phone, Wang Xu's tongue was stiff: "A tree dealer I know has about eighty tabuliformis pines that meet the specifications, and if you count the freight, three thousand and eighty-one." β
"This is a good thing!" Yang Dong sat up straight after listening to the price quoted by Wang Xu.
"If it's not a good thing, can I call you in such a hurry. Wang Xu grinned: "You can prepare the payment for the goods in the next few days, as long as the money arrives, this batch of trees can be transported!"
"That's it!"
......
In front of the hotel, after Wang Xu finished talking to Yang Dong, he felt that he had a little headache from this drink, so he sat in the car and planned to go home to sleep.
"Ding Dong!"
Wang Xu just started the car here, and he threw it on the co-pilot's mobile phone, and the WeChat prompt sounded at the right time, Wang Xu took the mobile phone and looked at it, and the person who sent the message was the female netizen who had chatted with him all night before, and the message was very simple: "I'm a little cold." β
