Chapter 3 Part-time Job
A week later
Liang Shaoyu and Yan Zhongming went to Liang Jianguo's construction site to move bricks, as children who grew up in the city, they are no strangers to construction sites, usually when they go to school, they have gone through too many demolition or construction sites, but it is the first time to enter the construction site. The doorway to the construction site was deserted, and there was nothing but mud trucks and trucks carrying sand and bricks in and out.
Someone once said, "There is no road in this world, but when there are many people who walk, there is a road." "There is no complete road in the construction site, and the so-called road has only been treated a little, but after the long-term suppression of those trucks, it is even more sparse. It's a sunny day, but if it's raining, there's no place to put your feet in the potholes.
Before the two came to the construction site, Liang Jianguo and Wang Ping had already discussed how to arrange the two of them. Liang Jianguo found the seniority in the engineering team is relatively old Lao Huang, Lao Huang is in his thirties, with a calm personality, he takes the two of them to work, he is more at ease, of course, he did not tell others that he is his son, since he wants to experience life, he will give them a good transformation.
In the construction site, Liang Shaoyu and Yan Zhongming didn't know how to go, so they could only follow Lao Huang slowly, Lao Huang reminded them to wear a hard hat, this is the construction site, who knows what will fall from the sky, without a hard hat, in case of bad luck, the head will be directly opened. Looking at the busy figures of those workers and doing things here, the two of them suddenly had a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu that the prince had come out to experience the hardships of the people.
"Brother Huang, can I learn to open a hanging tower?" asked Liang Shaoyu as he walked.
"I want to learn to drive an excavator," Yan Zhongming also said.
Lao Huang said: "There are too many technologies that can be learned on the construction site, bricklaying is a piece, wall building is a piece, and hydropower installation is also a piece, but the tower crane excavator needs excellent technology and a certificate, so no one teaches you." You can come here to work for the summer and do some simple work. β
After listening to the two, they began to think about each other, if they also mastered the technology and also got a construction site team, wouldn't it be beautiful, hahaha. After Lao Huang took them into a construction site, he first handed them some chores to do, moving cement, red bricks and the like, anyway, they were all young men, and it should be no problem to move this.
Soon it was time to open the meal at noon, the engineering team was cooking by themselves, choosing a place as the kitchen, the gas stove cauldron, the fried vegetables were packed with a large basin, the varieties were more ordinary, radish and cabbage plus potatoes braised pork, as for the meat, it was the kind of big fat meat, and there was a big pot of white rice, as for the taste, it looked like that. Liang Shaoyu and Yan Zhongming lined up with everyone, and the food was placed on a simple dining table with random materials, anyway, there was no shortage of these things on the construction site. Each person took a big bowl, lined up to eat, and after the dish was ready, he found a random place to squat or sit and eat, not so much particular.
Liang Shaoyu and Yan Zhongming only made a small bowl each, the two of them had never eaten such an unpalatable meal since they were so old, there was no oil and water in the dish, and the large piece of fat was even more difficult to swallow, but the white rice was good. The two of them stared at each other and saw that others were gobbling up, the amount of food was huge, and many people had eaten two large bowls, and they had never seen this noodles at all. The two of them barely finished the meal, and there was no concept of a lunch break on the construction site.
Liang Shaoyu and Yan Zhongming don't know how to be skilled, they still act as coolies in the afternoon, responsible for transporting red bricks and cement to the elevator, the red bricks are okay, you can move less if you can't move, but the cement is heavy, where have the two of them carried heavy objects, Yan Zhongming shouted that he was tired early in the morning, Liang Shaoyu was better, after all, he usually exercised, but he couldn't withstand such an operation for a long time. Three hours later, both of them were lying on their stomachs and didn't want to move. Tired and hungry, no wonder everyone eats so much at noon, this is a great consumption of physical work, and there is no strength to work if you don't eat more.
During the break, Lao Huang held a cigarette in his mouth, came over and said: "Young man, I can't bear it, the construction site is really not a place for you students to come, you can just find a place to be a waiter or something for summer vacation, it's nothing more than a low salary, but it's easier than here, you can't fight so hard, but you have to think about it clearly, it's still too late to leave early." "Lao Huang is a bricklayer, and the two of them have seen him play with a brick knife before, and the brick seems to be alive in his hands, which is simply performance art, breathtaking, and a powerful technician. Lao Huang saw that the two tired ones couldn't do anything, so he took advantage of the smoking effort to come over and persuade them, it's better to leave early, in case the body collapses, the gains outweigh the losses.
Yan Zhongming has been working for so long, until now he is tired and lying down, he has long wanted to retreat, this is not something he can afford at all, look at this hand, although he is wearing gloves, the same blistering and peeling, his hands and feet are not like his own, and his whole body is sore. Liang Shaoyu's situation is not much better than him, hearing Lao Huang say this, he also began to mumble in his heart, whether his choice was right or wrong, but thinking about how he said to his parents that night that he was going to move bricks, and he would never back down, wouldn't it be too useless to go back before the day.
Liang Shaoyu asked Yan Zhongming what he thought, and Yan Zhongming said: "This work is too tiring, I don't know if I don't come, it's really hard." I thought that I should be able to persevere, but now it's okay, and the lofty ideal is directly shot to death on the construction site. I think it's better to go back and do the others, the body really can't resist here. β
"Hmmm... It's really unbearable, after all, we have never done such high-intensity work before. You go back first, I'll stay a few more days, and then I'll leave. β
"Shaoyu, you still have to go with me, you don't have to be here to experience life. Although you usually insist on exercising, this is different, in case you get hurt, you will lose a lot. Zhongming tried his best to persuade him, that is, he wanted Shaoyu to go with him, and he didn't say anything about his previous ambitions, who couldn't get tired of it.
"It's okay, you wait and go back first, I'm okay now, and I'll naturally go back when I can't do it." Liang Shaoyu replied. If it weren't for the fact that I tried my best to get to the construction site that night, and I still had a package ticket with my parents, I am afraid that I would not be able to stay for a minute. After coming, I didn't regard this place as a place to work in the future, but took advantage of the summer vacation to experience life, the construction site should be the hardest, only here can I experience the hardships and difficulties of making money, I don't have so many complaints when I think about it. But Zhongming has been a baby pimple at home since he was a child, and this time he brought him to the construction site, but the aunt was distressed and didn't let him come, and finally Uncle Yan said that it was okay to let him experience it, and he would go back if he couldn't do it. So it's okay to let Zhongming go back, it's okay to experience it for a day, but it's always a little bit different.
In the evening, he sent Yan Zhongming away, and when he left, he didn't forget to say that he wanted Shaoyu to go back early, but Shaoyu responded that he couldn't do it and then leave. After Zhongming left, the sky had begun to darken, and I thought it was time for everyone to get off work, but I found that there was no such concept at the construction site, and everyone was still working hard to do their work, and they never left. Shaoyu only now knows that the wages of workers are higher than those of many white-collar workers, white-collar workers work from 9 to 6, and there are weekends and weekends, and overtime is often paid for overtime. Look at the construction site again, the sunrise is made, there are no weekends, the end of work is uncertain, there is no overtime pay, more than ten hours a day, and thousands of dollars are earned, which is not ordinary hard work, and it is not much at all.
It was long after it was completely dark, and the workers lined up for dinner after a simple cleaning, which was still the same as at noon, but there was more meat in the evening. Liang Shaoyu ate a big bowl at night, regardless of whether he tasted good or not, he would talk about it after eating enough, after such high-intensity labor, he had to rely on eating more to replenish his energy. Originally, I could have gone home for dinner, but if my mother saw her now, it was estimated that she would not be able to come to the construction site in the future, but fortunately she brought clothes and slept on the construction site when she came.
After eating, everyone dispersed, and after a tired day, they took a good bath and felt comfortable. The dormitory is the kind of prefabricated room that is built, equipped with a shelf bed and air conditioning, air conditioning is a must, otherwise you can't sleep on such a hot day. The older ones don't like to go out, so they lie in the dormitory and brag and play cards, and the younger ones go out to play. After Liang Shaoyu finished taking a bath, he lay down on the arranged bed, he didn't want to move, and when he took a bath, he found that his hands and feet were blistered a lot, and he broke a lot of skin.
In the evening, Liang Jianguo called Lao Huang to ask how the situation was, and Lao Huang told him that the person named Yan Zhongming had gone back, and Liang Shaoyu had not left yet, and now he should go to the dormitory to rest. After hanging up the phone, Liang Jianguo thought to himself: "This shows that he is unexpected, the little guy is quite persistent, and he still estimates that he will leave in a day, this kind of refusal to admit defeat is really like his young self." β
At this time, Liang Shaoyu, who had been tired for a day, had already fallen asleep earlyγγγγγγ
