In December, the winter break is less than a month away.

Tao Tao and Yu Feng were near the mud tank, carrying grounding piles.

At this time, the temperature in Sulig was at its coldest, approaching minus 30 degrees.

The ground freezes three feet and is not a day's cold, and the ground at the well site is very hard.

Tao Tao and Yu Feng worked together.

Yu Feng supported the grounding pile, and Taotao waved a big hammer to nail the grounding pile into the rock-solid ground. 、

Although the head of the grounding pile is very sharp, but when the waves go down, they can only nail out a white spot on the ground, and they can't be nailed into the ground at all.

Although the Sulige Desert is mainly sand, the well site is half sand, half soil, and after soaking in mud and water, the ground of the entire well site is simply frozen harder than stones.

Tao Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he took more than a dozen hammers in a row before he smashed down two centimeters.

However, according to the regulations, the grounding pile must be nailed at least 30 centimeters into the ground.

Yu Feng looked at Taotao's tired and sweaty appearance, he smiled and said, "Young man, no, let me, a middle-aged man, come." ”

As he spoke, Yu Feng asked Taotao to support the ground pile, and he waved a hammer.

At this time, Taotao's hands no longer had any strength.

He held on to the grounding pile, looked at the hammer in front of him, and said in his heart, why is this month so difficult?

Just when Tao Tao was lamenting that time was hard and work was hard, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Hearing Didi's voice, Tao Tao said in his heart that it must be a text message.

Just when Taotao's mobile phone text message rang, Yu Feng's mobile phone text message also rang.

Yu Feng put down the hammer in his hand, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and said, "Who sent me a text message." ”

However, when Yu Feng saw the text message on his mobile phone, he jumped in surprise.

He said: "Taotao, the money has been paid." ”

The drilling team does not settle until the end of each year.

So at the end of every year, it's also the time when the workers pay their money.

Hearing Yu Feng say that he had sent money, Taotao also hurriedly took out his mobile phone.

The accountant on the team did the business of receiving SMS notifications for everyone to pay their salaries.

Therefore, as long as the salary is paid, everyone can receive SMS notifications on their mobile phones.

Taotao turned on his phone and saw that it was indeed a text message from 95533.

He said excitedly: "Master Yu, sure enough, the money has been paid." ”

After clicking on the text message, Taotao saw that the upper output award was 3,000.

He was overjoyed, smiled and narrowed his eyes into a slit, and said, "Master Yu, I sent three thousand yuan." ”

Yu Feng finished reading the text message, put the mobile phone in his pocket, picked up the hammer again, and said: "Our team is the ace team in the Sulige Desert, I estimate that our income this year can be 60,000 yuan." ”

Hearing that he could earn 60,000 yuan a year, Taotao was even happier.

He said: "Master Yu, as a driller, you can earn so much in a year?"

After speaking, Taotao felt that he was motivated to work.

Yu Feng smiled and said: "Driller is the hardest job in the oil field, and it is not much to take this money." ”

At this time, Liu Xing and Wang Zhizhi were carrying the motor and happened to pass by.

There is a habit in the drilling team that as long as the money is paid, everyone likes to notify each other.

Taotao saw Liu Xing and Wang Zhizhi passing by, so he informed them: "The money has been sent, have you received the text message?"

Liu Xing is a gambler, and he even lost his mobile phone.

Wang Zhizhi's mobile phone was very broken, and he didn't hear the text message.

Hearing this, Wang Zhizhi immediately threw the motor to the ground, and then took out his mobile phone.

He looked at the text message of 95533 and said excitedly: "I actually sent two sums of money, one for three thousand and one for four thousand." ”

After speaking, Wang Zhizhi danced with his hands.

Taotao, who was holding the ground pile, heard that two sums of money had been sent.

He wondered, "Did you really send two strokes?"

Wang Zhizhi stared at the money on his phone with wide eyes, and said, "No problem, I really sent two sums of money." ”

Hearing this, Tao Tao and Yu Feng decisively put down the work in their hands and took out their mobile phones again to check.

As they were taking out their phones, a text message notification arrived.

As Didi's voice sounded, Taotao received a text message for the second money.

Tao Tao looked at the second oil and gas contribution award of 4,000, and he said excitedly: "Wow, I really paid again." ”

Liu Xing said anxiously next to him: "Taotao, let me take a look at your mobile phone, how much money did we send?"

As he spoke, Liu Xing snatched Taotao's mobile phone and looked at it carefully.

Tao Tao felt his blood boiling, and he said in his heart that although Lao Diamond is very hard, usually tired from work, and the environment is also very difficult, but every time it comes to the time of money, all the hardships and tiredness, as well as the usual injuries, can be forgotten in an instant, or even forever.

This feeling of making money is simply so refreshing.

Especially when the sound of mobile phone text messages is in my ears, it is so wonderful that I can't describe it in words.

Tao Tao said happily: "It's the first time that I've grown so big, and I've received a sum of 7,000 yuan in one day." ”

Hearing Tao Tao say such a naïve thing, Yu Feng reminded him: "Tao Tao, whether it is the production award or the oil and gas contribution award, it is only issued once a year, and it happens to be sent on the same day today, so you must not say that you earn 7,000 a day, if we average it, it will only be 150 yuan a day." ”

Although Yu Feng poured cold water on Taotao, Taotao still felt very happy when he looked at the two incomes in his mobile phone.

Although Tao Tao is only in his first year of work, and he can only get 30 percent of the bonus, because Tao Tao has worked in the 40649 team of the exploration well team and the 40567 drilling team of the ace team, he has earned nearly 45,000 yuan in a year.

The 45,000 yuan is the reward of Taotao's hard work for a year.

He held the salary fold in his hand, and felt heavy.

At the same time, a year's work in the desert of Inner Mongolia also made Taotao realize that it is not easy to make money.

Tao Tao recalled that when he was young, whenever his father came back from the drilling team, he could see that his father had brought back the living expenses for the family.

At that time, Taotao felt that it was easy for his father to make money, as long as he went up the mountain, then when he came back, the life of the whole family would be guaranteed.

But now, since Tao Tao joined the drilling team, he knows that his father, who has worked in the mountains all his life, and his father, who has been a driller all his life, has lived since he was young.

What is the sin?

What kind of bitterness do you eat?

Although the father never complained about the hard work of drilling in front of them......

Although my father has never been in front of them, he has lamented that life is not easy......

Although the father has never been in front of them, shouting about the difficulty of earning money......

But from this moment on, Tao Tao really re-acquainted his father in his heart.

My father started when he was young, relying on Weibo's salary to support a family of four.

He does not complain of hardship, nor of tiredness, nor of poverty.

It is only after he has personally experienced his father's work that he can understand his father's greatness.

At this time, Tao Tao felt that the salary in his hand was unusually heavy.

Although he already had tens of thousands of dollars in his hand, he was not ready to spend a penny.

He was going to give this fold to his father and mother as a gift to them in his first year of work.

Sitting in the car home, Tao Tao was full of emotion.

Although the drilling team, once in their own eyes, was a nightmare.

But now, he's getting to know the drilling team anew.

Although the drilling was hard and tiring, at least the drilling team supported itself and gave itself food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

After all, this is a job for me, giving me a job where I can make money.
