The shed where Li Huayong lives is gloomy.

When Li Mingda conveyed Gao Qigong's meaning, Uncle Gen lowered his head and smoked a dry cigarette, and Li Huazhu looked around at a loss. There were other fellow villagers who rushed over after hearing the news, all of them had gloomy faces and did not speak, and the atmosphere in the whole workshop seemed quite depressing.

Li Huayong sighed in his heart, to be honest, he didn't understand why everyone was at a loss at first. Isn't it just that there is no work on this construction site? If it's other cities, forget it, this is Pengcheng, Pengcheng in 1984, a standard "hot land", as a group of migrant workers, and a group of skilled migrant workers, can't they find a place to work?

Li Huayong later woke up to the fact that his thinking had entered a misunderstanding and was a bit taken for granted. In the later generations, migrant workers engaged in the construction industry are extremely mobile, working on this construction site today, running that project tomorrow, and changing places with a shot, which is simply a normal thing in the later generations.

But this is not the case in this era, where the group of migrant workers is not so mobile. For example, if it weren't for Li Mingda's relationship and Li Mingda's matchmaking, everyone would usually do some odd jobs in the nearby townships at most, and it would be impossible for them to come to this Pengcheng.

More importantly, when everyone came to this construction site, everyone had signed an agreement with "Huaxia Construction General Manager", including Li Huayong, and he also had an employment agreement signed with "Huaxia Construction General Manager".

To put it simply, although they are all migrant workers, the migrant workers of this era are different from later generations. If that was the standard "peasant worker" in later generations, then in this era, this group was called "peasant contract workers".

Thinking of this, Li Huayong couldn't cry or laugh a little, the times are advancing, but not everything is progressing. For example, compared with "migrant workers" and "migrant contract workers", from the perspective of management, it is obvious that the latter is more standardized.

In later generations, the vast majority of projects will have an agreement with the foreman with the worker, and there may be very few domestic construction sites except for overseas projects.

But then again, "peasant contract labor" is not all good, for example, now, this problem has brought very real confusion to Li Huayong and others:

First: because of the agreement, this made everyone lack the awareness of "taking the initiative" and did not take the initiative to go out to find work, so when everyone heard that they were going to stop work for a few months, everyone was at a loss.

Second: In addition to the "Huaxia Construction General", the situation of other domestic construction enterprises is similar, and everyone has their own "farmer contract workers". What does this mean? This means that even if you take the initiative, you may not be able to find a suitable place to work. At the very least, it is much more difficult to find a job on your own in this era than in later generations.

"Secretary Gao said, everyone has been working here for more than 50 days and less than 2 months, in order to apologize to everyone, everyone's salary is settled according to 2 months, and if you want to return to your hometown, the travel expenses to go back are also from the project... ”

Hearing Li Mingda's words, Li Huayong smiled bitterly again, he paid attention to the expressions of other people, and found that other people were also numb.

After working for more than 50 days, even if he gets two months' salary, how much is it? Among the group of people who came from Li Jia'ao, the highest salary is Li Huayong's uncle Uncle Gen, whose salary is 2 yuan and 4 yuan a day. Li Huazhu's salary is 1 yuan 8 a day. And as a "laborer" at the bottom, Li Huayong's salary... It is to do a day's work to get 1 piece 2.

After doing it for such a long time, Li Huayong can get more than 70 yuan, which is not enough for Li Huayong to pay for 2 days of cigarettes if it is placed in the future.

“。。。 Secretary Gao also said that if you want to stay in Pengcheng, he can help ask if there will be a shortage of manpower at other construction sites, but Secretary Gao also told me that what he can ask is only the project of this system. In the end, he asked everyone to discuss what to do... ”

Having said that, then everyone can only discuss and do it, this era is not like the later generations, everyone has not much sense of rights protection, let alone any sense of resistance.

As a result of everyone's discussion, the absolute majority of people were reluctant to leave Pengcheng, and they all wanted to try to see if they could re-work in other places. A small number of hesitant people, at this time, also carry forward the fine tradition of our Chinese---- the minority obeys the majority, and all actions are under command.

However, since it was the initiative to go out to find a job, it was impossible to go out in a swarm, so in this way, the "Li Jiaao Job Looking 4 Group" was established.

The core personnel of this working group are undoubtedly Comrade Li Mingda. This was not for other reasons, mainly because he had a magic weapon in his hand---- letter of introduction he had written from Gao Qigong. In these days, letters of introduction are a good thing, and without them, many places may not even be able to enter the door.

Uncle Gen, as a highly respected existence of Li Jiaao, is the actual leader of the group and the second member of the working group.

The so-called "brothers in battle, fathers and sons in battle", Li Huazhu, the third member of the working group.

The fourth member of the working group is Li Huayong, who has just crossed over, "Deputy Chief Engineer Li". Don't look at Li Huayong on the construction site, he is just a "laborer", the lowest existence. But when he goes out, he has another identity, as a high school graduate, Li Huayong is the most educated of all, so his selection is not surprising. In addition to this reason, there is another reason for Li Huayong to be selected. In the words of Li Mingda:

"In these days, everyone is wary of bad guys, and Dunzi's appearance is honest and honest at first glance, so if he goes with us, it may be easier to find a job. ”

Hearing Li Mingda's words, Deputy Chief Engineer Li could only sigh in his heart: The era of the so-called "face seeing" is not unique to later generations, and it is not the case in any era.

A short-lived working group was formed, and the reason why this working group is "short-lived" is because everyone agreed at the beginning: one week. The lifespan of this task force is only one week at most. If you can't find a job within a week, everyone will go home.

This is how the working group, which has an honorable mission, began to act. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Deputy Chief Engineer Li from later generations also had the opportunity to inspect Pengcheng in this era on foot.

It is a real "hike", in order to save money, when the working group is moving, we do not use any means of transportation, in less than a week, Deputy Chief Engineer Li is completely using his feet to measure the entire Pengcheng.

As the first special economic zone in China and the bridgehead of reform and opening up, Pengcheng in this era did not leave Li Huayong with much good impression.

Let's put it this way, 30 years later, in any county town with a middle and lower level in the mainland, what everyone's perception of that kind of place is similar to Li Huayong's current feeling.

Of course, Li Huayong's perception is so poor, which may also be related to the poor progress of the working group. It's been 5 days, and everyone has been running in Pengcheng for 5 days, and almost all the relevant construction sites introduced by Gao Qigong have been run, but the work is still not settled.

"Uncle Gen is sorry, now it seems that everyone can only return to their hometowns first, I'll see in 2 months... ”

Uncle Gen is silent, and Li Huazhu is also silent. Li Huayong stared at a note and was studying, this note was the "relevant units" introduced by Gao Qigong, that is, all the projects under construction in Pengcheng by the "Huaxia Construction General Manager".

"Da Ge, look, what's going on with this "Lin's Container Factory" project? In my impression, it seems that we haven't run this place yet, right?"

Li Mingda took the note and shook his head:

"I know this project, although this project is also under construction by another branch of ours, but if there is no hope for other construction sites, let alone this project. That's why I haven't taken everyone on a run. ”

"Oh?

"This Lin's container factory, is a Xiangjiang people investment, that is a Sino-Hong Kong joint venture, according to the feedback of colleagues, it is said that the management there is very strict, if other places can not enter, this project may not be able to enter, this is why I did not take everyone to run... ”

"That's right. ”

"Of course, this is not the most important thing, if it is only strictly managed, I don't think our people in Li Jiaao will be afraid. The main reason is that the project has just started, and the pile foundation construction is still underway, and I think we have nothing to do. ”

Hearing the word "pile foundation", Li Huayong's heart moved. The pile foundation smelled the pile foundation again, thinking that he came to this era inexplicably because of the pile foundation, Li Huayong had a different emotion in his heart.

"Anyway, this is the last construction site, let's be a dead horse doctor, or we will go to this construction site tomorrow?"

"Okay. ”
