Tao Sansheng stayed in the hospital for only a week, and returned home after the stitches were removed. The mine only gave the operation fee and ten days of hospitalization, and if he stayed more, he would have to pay for it himself, of course, he was reluctant to spend more, and if he didn't go to work for a week, he would make less money for a week. What's more, he is still missing two fingers, and his work will always be affected in the future, he is very worried that the mine will be fired because of his hand problem, thinking of this, Tao Sansheng can't stay in the hospital at all, and he is in a hurry to go home and plan to continue to work.

Tao Mei was still cooking in the mine, and she strongly objected to her father going back to work, and persuaded him, "Dad, are you really dying? There may be a second escape, and your luck may not be so good next time!"

"You kid, how can you curse me. Tao Sansheng replied angrily, but he wasn't really angry, he actually admired the second daughter in his heart, but appreciation was appreciation, and he would never agree with her rebellious approach, "Second girl, you may not know that once something happens in the coal mine, it is the safest." There must have been a major safety inspection at the mine, so there will definitely be no second problem in the short term. ”

Tao Sansheng swore that he didn't say anything about Tao Mei, but she also knew her father's character and what she recognized, and she was afraid that there was no way to change it, so she had to walk away silently and go outside alone to be sad.

Sure enough, the next day, Tao Sansheng, who was still wrapped in gauze, came to the coal mine, and he saw that everyone was already in full swing, so he went to Zou Qi, the chief dispatcher, hoping to return to work immediately.

Zou Qi was really taken aback when he saw that Tao Sansheng dared to come after escaping death, but he still persuaded him with kindness, "Old Tao, your injuries are not healed, can you go down the well?"

"No problem, just two fingers are missing, and they are still in the left hand, which does not affect the strength, and I promise that I am still the same as before. Tao Sansheng said with an oath.

But Zou Qi frowned, he saw that there were many people outside, so he pulled Tao Sansheng to a remote place next to the mine mouth, and whispered to him, "I'm sorry, old Tao, you have been working for all these years, you should know that the mine is full of dirty work, your body is inconvenient now, it is really not suitable to do it again, otherwise I will be injured again, I can't afford to take this responsibility." ”

Tao Sansheng was worried before that the mine would not want him for this reason, so he deliberately prepared his rhetoric, "Don't worry, director, otherwise, I will calculate the mining volume separately, how much to do, and not to hold others back, so it's okay, right?"

Zou Qi was still embarrassed, he knew the situation of the Tao family, and they all pointed to Tao Sansheng to make money alone, although his daughter Tao Mei also worked in the mine, but the income from cooking was low after all. However, he also has his own difficulties, this time it was not that he deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Tao Sansheng, but the idea of Xue Kui, the deputy mine manager. Soon after Tao Sansheng was admitted to the hospital, Xue Kui specially came to tell him that if Tao Sansheng came back to work, he resolutely could not agree, and he would find an opportunity to drive Tao Mei away with him, so as not to let his family work in the mine.

Zou Qi paced back and forth, not knowing how to speak, but Tao Sansheng couldn't hold it back, he said unhappily, "Director, my hand injury is also for our coal mine, isn't it?

With that, Tao Sansheng walked away angrily, ran directly to the mine mouth, and then lay directly on the ground.

The absentees who came and went didn't know the situation, they pointed their fingers, and people kept coming to watch, and for a while, the pit that was busy was about to stop, and they were all attracted by Tao Sansheng's actions.

Zou Qi had no choice but to ask the leaders of each group to take their subordinates and not to watch the excitement, but his order was not carried out, even some team leaders were also here to see the situation, and they also heard that Tao Sansheng was the only survivor of the last mining disaster.

Seeing that the scene was a little uncontrollable, Zou Qi had no choice but to go back to the office building and go directly to the mine manager Mei Yuanzheng to come up with ideas.

Mei Yuanzheng began as the mine manager of this small coal mine more than 10 years ago, and he is a steady, humble person, able to do practical things, and has always taken care of the workers. Under his management, the coal mine, which was on the verge of collapse that year, was revitalized and became more and more prosperous. It can be said that the achievements of the coal mine today are inseparable from the careful management of Mei Yuanzheng.

After knocking on the door of the mine manager's office, Zou Qi walked in, and saw Mei Yuanzheng on the phone, so he retreated to the door and waited. However, Mei Yuanzheng was not informal, beckoned Zou Qi to come in, and sat on the sofa.

A moment later, after Mei Yuanzheng finished the phone call, Zou Qi reported Tao Sansheng's situation to Mei Yuanzheng, of course, he did not mention that Xue Kui did not let Tao Sansheng work. This belongs to the leader's private explanation to himself, even if it is a higher-level mine manager, he should not leak it at will, otherwise it will stimulate a lot of unnecessary contradictions.

After listening to Zou Qi's narration, Mei Yuanzheng was a little puzzled: "Tao Sansheng has been working in our mine for several years, because of this accident, he was injured a little, and now he is injured, and he wants to come back, we should make proper arrangements, what are you doing with me for such a trivial matter?"

"You mean to allow him to continue to come back to work?" Zou Qi was quite surprised, he thought that Xue Kui and Mei Yuanzheng had agreed to assign him like this, but he didn't expect Mei Yuanzheng to be completely unaware of this matter.

"Yes, I have also heard about the situation of his family, and often he is in a state of not being able to open the pot, and now that he is injured while working with us, of course we will be responsible for it to the end. Mei Yuanzheng said solemnly.

Hearing the mine manager's reply so affirmatively, Zou Qi naturally had no opinion, but he didn't know how to explain this matter to Xue Kui. Now the two leaders have given diametrically opposed ways to deal with it, but it is a headache for him to stand in the middle.

However, thinking that Tao Sansheng was still lying in front of the mine, at least this news could relieve the urgent need, Zou Qi immediately ran over and informed Tao Sansheng of the good news.

"That's it, it's pretty much the same, it's still the Mei mine manager who is considerate of us workers. Tao Sansheng stood up satisfied, and praised the Kuamei expedition in front of everyone by the way.

"Okay, don't look at it, it's noon again, hurry up and go to work." Zou Qi commanded, and then called a person named Wang Mazi, who was also a team leader, "Lao Tao, you just go to their group, the rest are still the same rules, unchanged!"

Tao Sansheng was naturally happy to hear this, but he was still a little worried about whether the team leader would not want him. Because he is missing two fingers after all, and now he is half disabled, which will have some impact on his work, which will lead to a slightly less mining volume for the whole group.

But to his surprise, Wang Mazi just glanced at him meaningfully, and then nodded and agreed to Zou Qi's arrangement. Afterwards, Tao Sansheng and Wang Mazi's group went down the mine in a bumpy minecart.

Finally returned to the familiar post, Tao Sansheng felt that this was the first happy thing in the new year, he thought of the bitterness, suffered so much, maybe from today on, he should be transferred, the so-called poor to the bottom, according to his current situation, basically can not be worse, it is time to rebound. So as soon as he got to the well, he didn't say a word, picked up the tools and started to do it, for fear that the new people in the group would think he was slow.

It's just that before digging a few times, Wang Mazi suddenly slapped him heavily from behind, Tao Sansheng was not prepared, he was frightened, and with a shake of his hand, he put a shovel of coal that was just about to be dug into the cart and fell on Wang Mazi's feet and trouser legs.

Tao Sansheng hurriedly explained, "Oh, scare me, it's Team Leader Wang, what's wrong?"

Wang Mazi lifted his feet and said disdainfully, "What's the matter? Don't you have long eyes? I have such a big pair of feet in this place, you are stunned to throw coal on my feet, do you want to break my feet or how to drop?"

"No, no, I didn't pay attention to the one you slapped me just now, it's my fault, then I'll wipe it clean for you. Tao Sansheng hurriedly apologized, although he knew that it was not his fault, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he lowered his posture as much as possible.

"Okay, wipe it. Wang Mazi put his feet back on the ground, and really let Tao Sansheng wipe it clean.

Tao Sansheng was already very unhappy in his heart, but from time to time he reminded himself that he had just arrived, and he could endure it, so he squatted down and prepared to wipe Wang Mazi's feet with clothes. Soon, he wiped all the carbon ash on his shoes, but unexpectedly, Wang Mazi stretched his feet out of the cart again, and after stepping on the dirt, he asked Tao Sansheng to continue wiping.

In this way, three times in a row, Tao Sansheng couldn't bear it anymore, stood up solemnly and said, "Team Leader Wang, what are you doing here? Why do you deliberately make things difficult for me?"

Wang Mazi didn't say a word, and motioned for him to continue wiping. Tao Sansheng naturally didn't do it, brushed his sleeves away, Wang Mazi immediately jumped over, grabbed Tao Sansheng's collar, and asked viciously, "You stained my shoes, wipe them or not?"

Tao Sansheng shook his head, his heart was burning with anger, he already understood that this guy was deliberately embarrassing himself. But he and Wang Mazi have only met a few times, and they don't work in a group, and there is no contradiction between them before, what is this for?

"Ask you again, wipe, or not?" Wang Mazi put his face in front of Tao Sansheng and asked with disdain.

"Fuck you......"

Tao Sansheng couldn't bear it anymore, scolded, and then punched Wang Mazi in the face, venting the depression in his heart. Wang Mazi covered his face and immediately shouted, "This cripple still dares to beat Lao Tzu, you all saw it, he hit me first, then don't blame me for being rude, give it to me!"

Before the words fell, several big men next to him seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and rushed to the front at the same time, pushing Tao Sansheng directly to the ground, and then punching and kicking. Tao Sansheng could only hold his head helplessly, letting the beatings hurt everywhere, but he could only howl miserably.
