Zhang Xingming said: "I'll put it away first, I'll go back to the house to cook, and I'll eat here tonight." Sister, is there any food in the refrigerator?" Zhang Xingming asked the eldest sister.

The eldest sister raised her hand and grabbed two handfuls on her head, her eyes were still looking at the finished bag, and said, "It's nothing, how much did you buy that little bit of entertainment that day, and what are you left after eating two meals for these people?" ”

Zhang Xingming nodded a little embarrassed, indeed, I didn't buy many vegetables that day, and they were dumplings and vegetables, and there were only six or seven old men on his side, and two meals were really about the same.

Zhang Xingming turned around and walked out and said, "Then you clean up first, and I'll go grocery shopping." ”

The aunt glared at the eldest sister and said, "What are you buying, load the car and go, it will be dark in a while." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "I won't move tonight, I will load the car and leave tomorrow morning." It's too unsafe to walk on the mountain road this night, and we won't be short of this day and a half. ”

The aunt nodded, Zhang Xingming went out, and walked to the market with Li Chun and Zhang Liguo.

When I arrived at the market, I found that the weather was warmer, and there were more people doing business, and there was a little bit of a market frame, which was a lot more lively.

found Liu Er out of a bunch of people, this guy was squatting on the side of the road with a few hawkers to play poker, Zhang Xingming squeezed in and patted Liu Er on the shoulder.

Liu Er turned his head to see that it was Zhang Xingming, and said: "Okay, okay, I'm alive, you play, Lao Wang, this card is for you, tell you that my card is good, and win." Liu Er stood up crookedly biting the cigarette butt, shook the coat draped on his body, stuffed the poker in his hand into the hand of Lao Wang, who was watching the excitement on the side, grabbed the change piled on the ground, and walked out of the pile of people while talking: "Gaha Erming, what is the matter with my brother?"

Zhang Xingming looked at the change in his hand and said, "How big is it? You are not afraid of losing the money you earned in a day." ”

Liu Er stuffed the money into his coat pocket and said with a smile: "How can it be, the second brother has a spectrum in his heart, he just has nothing to do and have fun, and he is really a gambler, what's the matter?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Find out what you can do, send you money, now the market is more crowded, and it is lively." ”

Liu Er looked back and forth and said: "Well, the weather is warm, they all ran out, why is a day better than squatting at home, if you are lucky, the day will be better, it will not be easy." ”

Zhang Xingming asked, "Have you done that?"

Liu Er gritted his teeth, two big silver teeth shining in the sun, and said: "It's done, when the management office here opens on May Day, I will officially go to work, and we will also get the national salary in the future, haha." ”

Zhang Xingming smiled and nodded, the Guo family's market management has existed for less than ten years, and the time is not short, Liu Er is also a successful person, and he is also a figure in this market, he is held by a group of vendors every day, and he lives a beautiful life.

Walking to the front of Liu Er's stall, Zhang Xingming said: "What are the dishes, let's get more this time, I ate two meals last time I bought those, and today I let people bury a meal, how many do you have? The full name that can be put for a few days, try to have as much as you can't put it down, Brother Li, you go to buy meat and ribs, don't order the goods, her family doesn't like to eat it." ”

Li Chun turned his head to look at the meat stall over there and asked, "How much do you buy?"

Zhang Xingming turned his head to look over there and asked Liu Er: "Second brother, the meat should still be able to freeze in the warehouse this day, right?"

Liu Er nodded and said, "Yes, it's okay in May." ”

Zhang Xingming said to Li Chun: "Then buy more, let the meat seller give a share, pack a few more bags, and go back and throw them in the warehouse to freeze." Li Chun nodded and walked over.

Liu Er turned his head to look at Li Chun while loading the dishes, and asked Zhang Xingming in a low voice: "Who is this?" I see that I follow you all day long, and I see him every time I come back." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Didn't I fight a few times, my mother is not at ease, this is to supervise me." ”

Liu Er glanced at Zhang Xingming and said with a smile: "Oh, Erming, the bodyguards are all brought, it's really good." Look at this buddy will definitely be able to fight, this body of tendons and meat, looking at people's eyes with knives. ”

Zhang Xingming smiled and didn't squeak, and reached out to make vegetables with Liu Er.

Liu Er said: "I heard that the factory is going to raise wages again, and now the business can be done well, you didn't look at it, these workers are shaking now, the ticket is stuck, it is indeed good to be a worker, and we farmers can't compare." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "You don't make more money than them in this business, what do you envy." ”

Liu Er shook his head and said: "That's different, let's make some money, what kind of tiredness, get up five watches and climb in the middle of the night to worry about getting angry, you look at the workers, if you want to have fun and have fun a day, you can watch those eight hours a day, how easy it is." Besides, the class is not tired, the machine turns by itself. ”

Zhang Xingming remembered his experience of working in crushing in his previous life, and said: "There are also tired, and it is not easy to be tired on the crushing side." ”

Liu Er said: "The crushed mine is full of big collectives, how can the whole people go? Besides, it's only two hours a day when I'm tired, and the rest of the time is not playing, how can we be like this every day and every month." ”

Zhang Xingming nodded, he didn't expect Liu Er, as an outsider, a rural hukou, a hawker, to know so much about the things in the factory, the crushing ore is divided into three workshops, coarse, medium and fine, and there are more than 3,000 workers.

Crushing is the hardest, most tiring and dirtiest work on this side of the beneficiation, the original crushing process is in the open-pit mining area, but the equipment aging is more serious, and the output can not keep up with the production, and then it was assigned to the concentrator, and the new equipment on the new plant here. It is the hardest hit area of silicosis in the entire Benxi Iron and Steel system.

Silicosis is an occupational disease that only exists in the mines of the metallurgical system, and it is quite common, mainly due to the ironization of the lungs caused by dust inhalation, and finally the person dies because he cannot breathe, and after cremation, a black iron lung can be left to shine in the flames.

In the national industrial system, the remuneration of all workers is much higher than that of the large collectives, but the treatment of the workers of the large collectives of crushed mines is the same as that of the whole people, or even a little higher.

Because no one does it, no one wants to try the feeling of silicosis. All workers are iron rice bowls, and there is no way to do it if they don't work in the factory, so they have to improve their treatment to let the large collectives make up for it, and the workers of the large collectives rush to enter in order to earn more money. In order to balance, technical school graduates and metallurgical system school graduates are forced to enter the factory to crush the mine, and it is stipulated that they cannot be transferred within two years, but generally most of them are transferred away in the early part of the year, because every year there are new graduates to fill in, and the factory will turn a blind eye.

The reason why the silicosis rate is so high is that the dust removal equipment cannot be transferred, and all the dust removal equipment bought back at a high price has become the decoration of the plant, which is a few hours on the day of the inspection by the superior.

Because the dust removal equipment is water spray dust removal, as soon as it turns, the crushed ore will be stuck on the conveyor belt in a large area. I don't understand why you can't invent an air extraction type dust removal equipment.

Usually, the factory is full of dust and smoke, although there are dust masks, but the effect is not so satisfactory.

And there are many potential safety hazards of crushing, there is no guardrail in the whole process of the conveyor belt, and people are less than 80 centimeters on both sides of the belt. If there is no help from others, no matter how good your body is, no matter how strong it is, you can't stand up, you can only wait for death.

The workers are in charge of a few belts by one person, and there is no one else, and the sound of the equipment turning is hundreds of decibels, and the shouting is two meters away.

The section leader of each team is the most nervous when he gets off work, standing at the door of the bathhouse and taking a bath for each shift, and he has to take a bath in each shift, with a face of ash and sweat, like a Peking Opera mask. Here there are several people before and after the class, no one dares to come quietly and sneak away, they have to have an explanation, and the lack of one person is really a big deal.

Lao Ning once worked in the crushing mine for three years, not to mention the injuries, five died, and I myself was injured twice, with a split in the lumbar spine and a missing finger.

Nobody cares about any of that.
