Chapter 111: A New Beginning
"Uh, it's nothing, well, it's a matter of raising your hands......" Li Tianchou asked himself if he had never seen such a beautiful woman, and he was stunned for a moment, and his speech was a little incoherent.
"Thank you anyway, I was a little embarrassed today. It's better than this...... Sir, where are you in high school, and I will come to thank you another day. The girl saw that Li Tianchou's gaze was strange, she had seen this kind of look a lot, and she was habitually a little repulsive, secretly thinking about how men were so virtuous, and she couldn't help but feel unhappy in her heart, so she deliberately raised her tone.
Li Tianchou secretly screamed ashamed when he heard this, seeing that the beauty himself looked like this, it was too undeserved, but let the other party look down on him. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "I really don't need to, I work here and there, and I don't have a fixed place to live." If nothing else, I'll go first. Without waiting for the girl to respond, she turned around and left.
"Hey, sir, leave a contact information. The woman in white was surprised, and immediately understood, afraid that her tone just now had hurt the other party, and she was a little embarrassed.
Li Tianchou, who had already walked seven or eight meters away, waved his hand without looking back, "There is no need to meet in Pingshui." ”
"Sakura, are you alright?" The man with glasses finally found his golden-rimmed eyes on the side of the road, and ran over at a trot, his face full of concern.
The girl in white looked at Li Tianchou's back and was a little annoyed for a while, but she didn't answer in a daze.
"Sakura, ...... you" The man with glasses followed the gaze of the girl in white and glanced at Li Tianchou, who was gradually moving away, "He doesn't accept thanks? ”
The girl sighed, didn't answer, turned to look at the car, "You drive the car back to the company, I'll take a taxi back by myself." ”
"Why did you drive away? I reported to the police for a long time, but now I don't see any shadow of the traffic police, it's too unusual! Obviously, it was deliberately bad, and the public security and investment environment here are very poor. I want to talk to the old man when I go back, it's a big deal to withdraw the investment, how do I see them explain?" the man in glasses complained indignantly.
Seeing that the woman in white didn't seem to react again, the man with glasses said busily, "It's too unsafe for you to go back alone, I'll take a taxi with you." ”
"Jin Cheng, tell my dad, I don't object, but don't shout divestment at every turn, my dad doesn't like you like this. The woman in white's tone was a little cold, "I'd better take a taxi back by myself, I want to be alone for a while." As he spoke, he reached out and flagged down a taxi, "You should also pay attention to safety." With a few words, the woman in white got into the car door.
The man with glasses pondered what he had just said, and he was very unhappy, but in the end, he suddenly became excited when he heard that the girl should pay attention to his own safety. After thinking about it, he took out his phone and took a picture of the damaged car, and then also stopped a taxi and left.
......
Li Tianchou walked not far in a sullen manner, and found that the traffic in front of him was congested, and all kinds of vehicles lined up in a long line, and the traffic was extremely slow. If you look closely, you can see that a horizontal road in front of you is surrounded by blue iron sheets, leaving only a narrow passage at the intersection. Could it be that this road is a commercial street under renovation?
It seems to be really easy to find, and after walking a few more steps, I can see the slogans on the iron sheet, such as, "Road fence construction, pay attention to safety", "Fantai Construction", "Fushan Commercial Street Renovation Project" and other words. It's here, Li Tianchou looked left and right, and then got into it from a gap in the fence.
Inside is indeed the construction site, a hot scene, many workers wearing hard hats are rushing back and forth, large construction vehicles are plowing the ground, the sound is deafening.
Li Tianchou stopped for a long time, didn't find where the shed was, and after observing it, he walked towards a row of temporary board houses, which seemed to be an office or something.
"Hey, hey. What are you doing? This is a construction site, dangerous!" Li Tianchou had only walked a few steps, and a middle-aged man wearing a yellow hard hat waved his hands and shouted loudly.
Li Tianchou stopped, took out the note from his pocket, and also reached out and waved it, because the scene was too noisy, he had to shout: "I'll come to work and find a strict law." ”
"Go to work?" The middle-aged man's ears were very good, and he seemed to understand what Li Tianchou was here for, he stretched out his hand and pointed, "Come around from the side." ”
Li Tianchou walked around to the man's side as he said, "Hello, I'm here to work." The master in the labor market asked me to hand this over to Yan Defa. As he spoke, he handed over the note in his hand.
The middle-aged man was quite strong, with a simple face, and he looked less than forty years old, but his skin was also dark and dark. He took the note and looked at it twice, grinning, "Coincidence or not? You've got the right person as soon as you arrived. Oh, welcome. Follow me. With that, the man turned around and walked towards the row of prefabricated houses.
"Will you be able to go to work tomorrow?" Yan Defa asked, turning his head.
"No problem. "Li Tianchou is very simple.
"Okay, let's go down to the shed later, and I'll have someone arrange it for you. Halfway through his words, Yan Defa was suddenly stunned, "Aren't you from other places? Why don't you have any luggage?"
"I lost my luggage in the car. Li Tianchou is not good at lying, so he is stubborn and finds a reason to prevaricate.
Yan Defa didn't pay much attention to it, tilted his head and thought for a while, "Mosquito nets and mats are necessary, there are too many mosquitoes at night on the construction site." I have an old one there, if you don't dislike it, just take it and use it first. Let's make do with the rest. ”
"Thank you so much. Li Tianchou nodded hurriedly.
Yan Defa was not polite, and suddenly shouted at a worker pushing a two-wheeled bicycle not far away: "Monkey, come here." ”
When the worker heard this, he turned his head and glanced at it, then put down the car and ran quickly, "Uncle Defa, call me?"
"New kid, uh, forgot to ask what your name is?"
"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Tianchou. ”
"Oh, you take Xiao Li to the shed, let Lao Dong divide the shop, clean it up, and then bring him to me. After Yan Defa finished speaking, he nodded at Li Tianchou, and left on his own, looking very busy.
As the name suggests, the monkey people are small in stature, but they look very lean. He stretched out a hand in a friendly manner and smiled at Li Tianchou, "My name is Hou Tao, and everyone calls me a monkey." ”
"New here, just call me Tianchou. Li Tianchou also stretched out his hand to shake it, and at the same time smiled, "Is the shed far away?"
"Not far, follow me. ”
The monkey is enthusiastic and very talkative, chatting along the way, Li Tianchou also has some basic understanding of the general situation of the construction site. The renovation project is still in the early stage, and most of them are earthworks and roadbed leveling, so there are not many technically difficult jobs, and there are large workers with them, and there is no need to use their brains to do the work.
All the way to the shed, it is also a simple board house, but it is much larger than the office on the front construction site, two large rows of shops, Li Tianchou roughly estimated that he could sleep more than 40 people. There is no one in the shed, and it is estimated that they are all working. And many of the bunks are bareboard, there are no bedding, mats and other supplies, obviously no one lives.
Seeing that Li Tianchou was a little puzzled, the monkey told him that there was a serious shortage of people at the construction site, and he was still recruiting people everywhere, and a foreman simply went back to his hometown to pull people. One reason is that there is little money and tiredness, and many people leave after a few days. There is also an important reason, the monkey is vague, taboo, and does not talk in detail. Anyway, remind Li Tianchou to pay attention to safety, and it is best not to go out alone at night.
Li Tianchou nodded and said that he had written it down, after all, when they met for the first time, he was not good at asking, but he muttered in his heart, is the security here really bad?
The monkey called out to a dark, fat old man, dressed in big trousers,* with a towel of unknown color on his shoulder, like a firehead. This is probably the old winter melon that I just heard Yan Defa say. Li Tianchou found it interesting, the people on the construction site were really straightforward and cute, and the appearance of the nickname was too appropriate for the real person.
The old winter melon speaks badly and stutters a little, but he can basically understand. is also very bold, the empty bunk let Li Tianchou choose at will, Li Tianchou didn't pay too much attention to it, so he chose a bed by the door. The old winter melon took out a broken notebook from his trouser pocket and wrote it down, and after a few more instructions, he went out to work.
The monkey was not in a hurry to leave, probably wanting to take the opportunity to take a lazy rest for a while. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Tianchou, and the two squatted at the door of the shed, spitting clouds and mist, chatting casually.
Li Tianchou learned a lot of information, it turned out that Yan Defa was the big foreman here, and many of them were his fellow villagers, or even from a village. However, Yan Defa is quite kind, and he has never been in arrears, so a group of people in his hands still follow him very closely.
The old winter melon is not only a firehead, but also manages the logistics of this shed, the so-called logistics is all the chores including food, hygiene, bed arrangement, etc., and even the workers have to say hello to the old winter melon in advance when they ask for leave. Li Tianchou was stunned for a moment, this old man has a lot of power, and the monkey whispered to him that Lao Donggua and Yan Defa are relatives.
Li Tianchou understands that it is too common for relatives to be involved on the construction site, anyway, he is a bare pole, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to these.
After the two smoked their cigarettes, they came to the row of board houses on the construction site, Yan Defa was standing at the door of a house, his face was not very good-looking, the monkey stuck out his tongue, and without even saying hello, he turned his head and ran away.
"Slippery head!" Yan Defa scolded in his mouth, and did not shy away from Li Tianchou.
The next thing is that Yan Defa gave some explanations to the next day's work, and received a hard hat, work clothes and gloves, Li Tianchou remembered that he was going to call the second cannon with the big worker, which sounded strange and interesting.
Before leaving, Yan Defa took out another roll of mats and mosquito nets, "Take it first, it's a little old, don't dislike it." Li Tianchou thanked him and returned to the shed unceremoniously.
This is considered a new beginning, Li Tianchou quickly made the bed, sighed casually, and suddenly remembered Xiao Song in his head, I don't know what this girl is doing now?
