Chapter 15 Carrying the Cement Bag
Dahan put a bag of black cement on Lin Pengfei's shoulder.
The standard weight of a bag of black cement is 100 catties, if it was before Lin Pengfei obtained the "merit and good person system", Lin Pengfei might not be able to carry a few bags of this 100 catties of cement.
However, for Lin Pengfei, who now has the power of three stones, a bag of 100 catties of cement has no pressure on him at all.
Lin Pengfei easily carried a bag of black cement to a warehouse on the side of the road, put it away, and Lin Pengfei quickly went to the big truck to carry the cement again.
After all, this is piecework work, the more cement bags you resist, the more money you make, Lin Pengfei naturally has to speed up and resist a few more bags of cement.
After all, he is not the only one doing this work of carrying cement, and this work is getting less and less.
"The young man is good, he has a little strength!"
The middle-aged man who was unloading the goods in the car gave Lin Pengfei a thumbs up and said.
After all, such a heavy work ordinary young man can't do it, and it's not easy for the young man in front of him to carry a large bag of black cement to walk like a fly.
You must know that those who often do this kind of heavy physical work can't do it so easily, carrying a bag of black cement and walking like a fly.
"It's okay, uncle, give me a bag of cement, I'm still in a hurry to make money!"
Lin Pengfei urged.
The middle-aged man picked up a bag of cement and put it on Lin Pengfei's shoulder, looked at Lin Pengfei and asked, "The conditions at home are not good!"
"Well, if the family conditions are good, who will do this job!"
Lin Pengfei nodded.
"Well, if I had money, I wouldn't do this dirty and tiring work!"
The middle-aged man also agreed with Lin Pengfei's words very much.
In such a hot weather, the people who are still doing this kind of dirty and tiring work under the scorching sun are basically people from poor families, and they all want to earn more money to support their families.
"Uncle, give me another pack!"
Lin Pengfei felt that he only carried one bag of black cement at a time, which was a bit inefficient, so he thought about resisting several packs of black cement at a time.
"Another pack?"
The middle-aged uncle asked in surprise.
You must know that this bag of black cement weighs 100 kilograms, and two packages of black cement weigh 200 kilograms, even if you can't carry two bags of black cement!
It's a good thing that this young man wants to make money, but he also has to do what he can!
The weight of these two bales of cement is pressed down, and if the waist is flashed, the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Uncle, I don't have a problem!"
Lin Pengfei said affirmatively.
If he wasn't completely sure, Lin Pengfei would definitely not do this.
The body is the capital, which Lin Pengfei understands.
"That's good!"
Seeing that Lin Pengfei insisted on carrying two bags of black cement at a time, the middle-aged man could only reluctantly satisfy him, and picked up a bag of black cement from the car and put it on Lin Pengfei's shoulder.
"What's wrong?
The middle-aged man asked with some unease.
"It's fine!"
Lin Pengfei grabbed the two bags of cement on his shoulders with his hands, weighed the weight and said.
Although it is more difficult than carrying a bag of black cement, it is still within Lin Pengfei's acceptable range.
Carrying two bags of black cement, Lin Pengfei walked to the warehouse again.
"I'm not dazzled, is this young man carrying two bags of cement?"
A worker carrying cement stopped and looked suspiciously ahead of him.
You must know that this bag of black cement weighs 100 pounds, and it feels a little difficult to carry a bag of black cement by yourself, but this young man can resist two packs, and looking at the way he walks, he can still be relaxed.
"It's two bags of cement!"
Another worker behind him affirmed.
"This young man doesn't look strong, why is he so strong!"
"Looking at the clothes he wears, the family conditions are definitely not good, and he often does physical work, and I can resist two bags of cement when I was young, but now I can't do it when I'm older. ”
"No matter how young you are, you can't do this, it's easy to fall ill. ”
"This is also a matter of no choice, it's all the fault of poverty, don't you just want to earn a little more money to supplement your family? If the family conditions are good, who will do this job!"
"This is the time to be!"
"It's too hot this day, hurry up and finish your work and go to a shady place to rest. ”
The two workers chatted a few words and went back to work.
Carrying a heavy object of 200 catties on the shoulders is a difficult thing for many young people now, but for people in the past, it was not difficult to carry 200 catties on their shoulders.
Of course, the amount of food at that time was also very large, and some people could even eat a basin of rice in one meal.
"Uncle, give me two more bags of cement!"
Lin Pengfei soon came to the side of the truck and said to the middle-aged man in the car.
"You can't do it, don't be reckless, take it easy, don't think that you are young and strong, just ignore your body, fall into the root of the disease, and wait for my age, your body will collapse!"
The middle-aged man persuaded Lin Pengfei.
After all, in order to earn such a small amount of money at one time, it is really not worth it to boast about your body.
"Uncle, thank you, I really have no problem!"
Lin Pengfei said gratefully.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to show too much, Lin Pengfei would have wanted to carry three bags of black cement, for the current Lin Pengfei, carrying two bags of black cement is not a matter at all, and it doesn't take much effort.
Although Lin Pengfei was sweating like other workers, this sweat was not tired sweat, but just sweating under the scorching sun.
"Let's take it easy!"
Seeing that Lin Pengfei didn't listen to his own persuasion, the middle-aged uncle said something and didn't say anything more.
After all, it's not a parent, and it's already very good to be able to persuade two sentences like this.
……
More than two hours passed, and more than 300 bales of black cement were all unloaded into the warehouse, which was over.
"The young man is good, he carries one hundred and fifty-three bags of cement alone!"
The middle-aged boss looked at Lin Pengfei with a smile and said.
"It's okay, but I have no strength, and I can only do some hard work to earn money. ”
Lin Pengfei said in a good mood.
After this work is done, you can get the money, and now Lin Pengfei's stomach is so hungry that his chest is close to his back, so he has to take the money to the noodle restaurant for a full meal.
"It's three hundred and fifty dollars, look at it!"
The middle-aged boss took out three hundred and fifty yuan from his wallet and handed it to Lin Pengfei and said.
Looking at the three hundred and fifty yuan in his hand, Lin Pengfei said to the middle-aged boss with some embarrassment: "Boss, I don't have any money with me, I can't find ...... here."
"You don't need to look for money, I can make friends with you, my surname is Wu, you can call me Boss Wu, you leave a mobile phone number, if you have a job in the future, I will call you." ”
Boss Wu said briskly.
After all, it is too difficult to find someone with great strength to do this kind of dirty and heavy work, especially if the weather is bad, the unloading is slow, and suddenly there is a downpour, and a lot of cement will be wasted.
"I don't have a cell phone!"
Lin Pengfei said embarrassedly.
This has just come out of prison, Lin Pengfei has not even bought a mobile phone, all the money in his pocket has been given away, where is there a mobile phone now.
"Don't have a phone?"
Boss Wu looked at Lin Pengfei with some surprise.
After all, there are too few people who don't have a mobile phone in these years, from the elderly in their seventies and eighties to the children in their three and five years old, they basically have mobile phones, and he is a young man in his twenties who does not have a mobile phone.
Besides, there are a lot of cheap mobile phones now, dozens of dollars, hundreds of mobile phones are very good for making calls and sending text messages.
"Now that there is no mobile phone in this society, you should hurry up and buy a mobile phone, or you can go to the mobile company to get one for free, otherwise you won't even be able to find a job!"
Boss Wu persuaded Lin Pengfei.
"Well, I'll buy a mobile phone later, Boss Wu, you can give me your mobile phone number first, and I'll call you when I buy a mobile phone." ”
Lin Pengfei said.
Lin Pengfei used to have a smartphone, but since Lin Pengfei was imprisoned, the phone has been confiscated by prison officials.
When Lin Pengfei was released from prison, the mobile phone was not returned to Lin Pengfei.
In fact, Lin Pengfei also knows that even if he returns it to himself, it is useless, and this mobile phone has not been used for a few years, and it is basically almost useless.
"Good!"
Boss Wu nodded, tore a piece of paper from the notebook, wrote his mobile phone number on the paper and handed it to Lin Pengfei.
"Boss Wu, I bought a mobile phone, and I'll call you as soon as possible. ”
Lin Pengfei took the note and said.
With Lin Pengfei's current ability, in addition to having a little more strength, he doesn't have any other skills, so he can only find these manual jobs to make money, and the Boss Wu in front of him is his own nobleman, so he naturally has to be careful.
……
"That's it!"
After saying goodbye to Boss Wu, Lin Pengfei, who was very hungry, hurriedly went to find a place to eat, and when he saw a noodle shop, Lin Pengfei pushed the door in directly.
