Chapter 114: The Fuse
Within a few days, the little widow's injuries were almost gone, and she didn't even say hello, and she left without even paying her salary, which touched everyone a lot. However, an incident that happened next became the fuse for everyone's concentrated emotional catharsis.
When I started work early that morning, I suddenly couldn't hear the noise of machines and vehicles, and the construction site was quiet. Everyone only saw the driver and technician hurriedly climbing up and down between the vehicles, busy and sweating, but they all looked strange and nervous. After a toss, all the construction vehicles are still lying still, and the excavators, forklifts, etc. are not on fire, and the food is stopped.
In the confusion of everyone, Yan Defa and other foremen were called to the board room office for a meeting. Not long after, Comrade Lao Yan informed everyone with a heavy expression that the amount of work was temporarily increased significantly, because the construction vehicles were broken, but the construction period could not be delayed, so please everyone.
This is undoubtedly a very bad news, manual replacement of machines, even day and night rush work may not be in time, and there is still a shortage of manpower, this is not nonsense. The crowd buzzed and blew up the nest, and immediately someone picked on it, this bit of broken wages still makes people play with their lives, stupid, right?
Just like contagion, with the one taking the lead, there will be a second, a third...... The Nth one, half of the people will be gone in a while. Yan Defa knew that everyone's mood was not good during this time, but he didn't expect it to be so hot, obviously some of them were not psychologically prepared, but it was not convenient to get angry immediately. There were not enough people, and a lot of people left at once, and this is a fart!
But Lao Yan is still calm, and the contractor is not only ten days and half a month, and he can still withstand this wind and waves. This accident is not necessarily all bad, just take the opportunity to fight for some extra wages for everyone, no matter how bad it is, it is required to settle the project on time, the progress of the project is not completed, that is the reason why the equipment is broken, and it has nothing to do with my old Yan.
Yan Defa has a little taste of blessing in disguise, and the heart that has been hanging for the past few days seems to be a little more steady. He himself is a farmer, and he knows too well the thoughts of his fellow workers, and there are many hardcore villagers who help him, so he believes that it is not too difficult to convince these people, and if he can't do it, he will kill one or two thorns, and he will also want to kill chickens and monkeys.
However, Yan Defa's expressive agitation, sensationalism and even promises did not have much effect, everyone seemed to be iron-hearted this time, one by one, lazy, few responders, especially the performance of a few hardcore fellows disappointed him, and even one even raised the issue of extra overtime pay.
This issue is more sensitive to Yan Defa, he is pondering this matter with a few foremen, and there are signs of relaxation in the workplace, but the problem is that Lao Yan wants to divert it for other purposes, and he urgently needs to improve his salary to speed up recruitment, and he has not finally made up his mind, so he obviously can't reveal any news at this time.
More and more people have joined the ranks of pickers, and the grumpy throwing tools away and going back to sleep in the shed.
At this critical juncture, there are a few newcomers, and their performance is somewhat unexpected. They were almost unaffected by the people in front of them, and they picked up the guy without saying a word and started working, Li Tianchou took the lead, followed by the Da Kun and Erkun brothers, this move made Yan Defa almost burst into tears with excitement.
Li Tianchou's idea is very simple, it is very ideal to choose this place as a temporary hiding place, and as soon as he comes, he will have food to eat, and it is natural to work hard. He also felt that there were many problems on the construction site, but judging from his experience of part-time work, Yan Defa was generally kind, and he would not suffer a big loss with such a boss.
And the Da Kun brothers' ideas are even simpler, first, they heard that the foreman never owes his wages, which is rare, and second, they are newcomers, they don't know the situation, and they like to get along with Li Tianchou very much, and Erkun is a little agitated, and the brothers are together.
With the example of these three people, the other people who were standing hesitated and joined the ranks of the work. The construction site is clearly warp and weft, and there are no idlers standing, either going back or burying their heads in work. Yan Defa secretly remembered Li Tianchou, a young man, and he glanced at the other small foremen, and several people hurried to the shed.
When it was time for lunch, Li Tianchou's group of people who worked were very particular about the food they had in hand, not only braised pork for additional meals, but also cold drinks, which was unprecedented, and the old winter melon could not be so generous in saying anything, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was the instruction of Yan Defa.
This made a group of people who went back to sleep in the shack very red-eyed, but the red eyes were also in vain, who let you sleep and others worked?
The treatment is unfair, it is really annoying, there are two big ones who detain the boiled rice on the ground in front of the old winter melon, and the old winter melon smiled easily and swept the food on the ground at a lightning speed. I'll let you cross, and when you regret it, Lao Tzu won't even give you what is on the ground!
Yan Defa's trick is actually very unique, and many people who pick on the child are shaken, although it is unfair, but it is obvious that this time Lao Yan is serious, and there are really a lot of wages to be paid for overtime. Speaking from facts, the meals of these people who work are different, which shows that Lao Yan is very confident.
In the afternoon, the form of going to work changed dramatically, except for two or three people who still insisted on sleeping, all the migrant workers went to work hard. Yan Defa was very happy, he must strike while the iron is hot, take advantage of the situation to rectify, and give an ultimatum to those thorns in a while, and get out of the way if he doesn't obey the control, although they are all fellow villagers brought out by themselves, but serious discipline is very important.
Well, then find a time to talk to this young man named Li Tianchou as soon as possible, I can't see that the young man is quite prestigious, he can cultivate it, and he will definitely be useful. Thinking of this, Yan Defa couldn't help but hate, mother's, sometimes the villagers in this township are unreliable.
Yan Defa knows how to master the heat, and he can't see it when he goes to work normally during the day, and working overtime at night is the key. Whether you can have a good start depends on the grasp of this heat. The so-called grace and power are equally important, eliminating thorns and supporting caring people must be fast.
After work in the evening, before dinner, Li Tianchou was called away by Yan Defa, although it was a little sudden, he still followed without hesitation.
Yan Defa's place is separated by a prefabricated house, although it is very small, but it is an independent space. Lao Yan made a cup of tea for Li Tianchou in person, and it was surprising that he was smiling all over his face.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Tianchou guessed that it might be related to the morning work. But he was not in a hurry to ask, and smiled and waited for Lao Yan to speak first.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao Li is good, he has been a soldier in the end, and he has quality. Yan Defa first praised it, which was quite a bit of a grassroots cadre's tone. He traveled south and north as a contractor, with rich experience, and the tone of this grassroots cadre was well learned, although he had never eaten pork, he had still seen pigs humming.
"There, Uncle Fa has won the award. As expected, such an opening statement confirmed his conjecture, and the key words were in the back, of course, Li Tianchou still had to be modest.
"I won't talk about detours. In the morning, you guys have a general understanding and have helped me, and I still know what happened. I'm trying my best to fight for overtime treatment for everyone, but it's only a temporary difficulty at the moment, but it's just this night...... I need a few of you to support me more, Uncle Defa will not treat everyone badly. "It seems that time is pressing, and the law is so strict that it will go straight.
Li Tianchou smiled slightly, naturally he had already prepared, "Uncle Defa, it's normal to work with money, and you can't talk about helping." But working overtime at night, I personally think that we must give everyone benefits, not just verbal efforts, otherwise I will not have any effect if I help. ”
Yan made Pharaoh's face red, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he knew very well that what Li Tianchou said was right, and this was very entangled.
If he can get a sum of money, he wants to spend more than half of it on improving the salary of recruitment, so that the problem of shortage of manpower can be quickly solved, which is also Yan Defa's biggest headache at present.
But the same will cause two contradictions, one is that the overtime pay is low, which cannot stimulate everyone to work, and the other is the obvious unfairness of the wages of the new and the old people in the future, which will intensify the contradictions, and maybe there will be a big problem.
So Yan Defa has been hesitating, but he must solve one end, otherwise all the problems will be piled up together, and life will not be able to pass. He prefers to improve the salary of recruitment, and it is easier to get enough people first. The contradictions in the future will be discussed later, as long as the wages can be paid on time, and the dilute mud plus various breakthroughs can always be solved.
If this idea is implemented, the key now is for Li Tianchou and others to continue to play an exemplary role and make do with the overtime work first. Even if it's only a small half of the people, it's good to get to work. Lao Yan and I will gradually make some sweetness, not afraid that the rest of the people will not give in, this little means, Yan can be caught, and the potential of the migrant worker brothers is endless.
But as soon as Li Tianchou opened his mouth, he blocked the words, as if he had already gained insight into his thoughts, which made Yan Defa quite surprised, and he couldn't see that this young man was quite knowledgeable, so he coughed dryly, "What the little brother said is that I, Lao Yan, guarantee my personality, and I will do my best to fight for overtime wages for everyone." But things are difficult to do, and they need to be done step by step, and many brothers don't understand, so I'm going to find a reasonable person like you to explain it first. ”
Li Tianchou was quick in thinking, and immediately realized that Yan Defa had something unspeakable, so he remained silent, "Uncle Defa will do his best to fight for everyone, I believe that the brothers will understand, it is only a matter of time." I didn't go to work at night, I said that I would do what I said and I would do my job. ”
Yan couldn't help nodding, "That's good, that's good." ”
But Li Tianchou's words changed, "Uncle Defa, there are some things I can't hold back, just say it, don't take it to heart." ”
Yan Defa was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw that Li Tianchou had already spoken, he had to nod.
"First of all, on behalf of the brothers who worked in the morning, I would like to thank Uncle Defa for his kindness, everyone is really happy. But I want to say that this is only one time, just order it to the end, and it will play a role. But in the long run, it's better to have a bowl of water flat. Li Tianchou's words were more direct, Yan Defa listened, and the expression on his face began to stiffen, but the ninja didn't speak.
"Second, I haven't been here for a long time, and I still don't understand many things, but one thing that impresses me is that everyone is in overtime not only because of wages, but also because anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no guarantee of safety, and no matter how many people are hired, they can't keep them. “
The more Yan Defa listened, the darker his face became, but he had to admit that this young man's words were very insightful, and every sentence hit the point, and it seemed that even the little Jiujiu in his heart was shaken by him intentionally or unintentionally.
