Chapter 3 Labor
July 1984, Pengcheng, Guangdong Province.
As the first special economic zone in China and the bridgehead of reform and opening up, Pengcheng is undoubtedly a hot land.
How to define the term "hot land"? This is very simple in the eyes of a person in the construction industry: if there is such a city, the whole city is like a big construction site, then the city is undoubtedly a "hot land".
The current Pengcheng is such a hot land.
Near Renmin South Road, Luofu District, Pengcheng City, this is the earliest development place in Pengcheng, and it is also the early city center of Pengcheng. In a simple shed, Li Huayong woke up slowly.
After waking up, Li Huayong first smelled a strong smell of "ten drops of water", and then heard the conversation of several people:
“。。。 Zhuzi, how can you treat Dunzi like this? He's your cousin! You're doing this, are you worthy of your deceased aunt, you... If you dare to bully the pier again, believe it or not, I will break your legs... ”
“。。。 Dad, I really don't blame me for this, I just asked him to clean up the foundation pit, how do you know that the pier is so sincere... ”
It looked like two fathers and sons were arguing, and at this time another voice sounded:
"Uncle Gen, don't say a word, you know that the pillar is usually so good to Dunzi, he definitely didn't mean it... Hey, the dun is awake, Uncle Gen, you see the dun is awake... ”
Several people gathered in front of Li Huayong, and the person known as "Uncle Gen" asked with concern:
"Dunzi, are you alright? . . ”
Li Huayong smiled bitterly, he could only smile bitterly at this time:
"I... I have a bit of a headache right now... ”
Li Huayong is not lying, he is indeed having a headache now. He didn't have time to think about how his dignified "Deputy Chief Engineer Li" had become what others called "Dunzi", let alone how such a strange "soul seizure" incident could have happened to him.
Although Li Huayong is a high-level intellectual, this kind of thing is obviously beyond the scope of his understanding. But when this kind of thing really happens, Li Huayong will definitely not have time to figure out the principle of this.
The first thing he had to do now was, of course, busy receiving all the information from the original owner of this body.
This is the reason why Li Huayong has a headache.
“。。。 Li Huayong, (it turns out that the name of the original owner of this body is the same as himself, and I don't know if this is a coincidence or fate?) male, 18 years old this year, his nickname or nickname is what everyone calls "Dunzi". Born in a village called Lijiaao in a mountainous county in the north of Nam Giang Province, if the county seat is a mountainous county, then Lijiaao is a mountainous area in the mountains, and it is a place of extreme poverty... ”
What made Li Huayong feel strange was that the original owner's impression of his parents was extremely vague, and when he thought of the social relationship of the original owner, the first thing that came to mind was the person called "Uncle Gen" and the person called "Zhuzi". One of them is his own uncle, and the other is his cousin.
Li Huayong continued to try to receive the original owner's information, and he found that the original owner still had a little impression of his mother, knowing that his mother died when he was 2 years old. The most strange thing for Li Huayong is that the original owner has no impression of his father, and his memory is completely blank.
Combined with the age of the original owner, considering that special era, Li Huayong smiled bitterly in his heart, the mother of the original owner, most of them is the legendary "Xiaofang in the village", and the uncle They don't know for what reason, they never mention his father, which will cause this gap.
Slowly, Li Huayong's head didn't hurt so much, and more and more information about the original owner emerged:
His mother died early, his father was missing, and Li Huayong was theoretically an orphan. Fortunately, he also has an uncle, the person named "Uncle Gen". This "Uncle Gen" is a good person, he treats Li Huayong as his own, although the family conditions are also very ordinary, but he has not let his nephew suffer any grievances since he was a child. He even gritted his teeth for Li Huayong to finish high school--- which is a treatment that his own son (that is, the pillar) does not have.
Of course, Li Huayong and his cousin also have a good relationship. My cousin treats him very well--- not the kind of hypocritical good, but sincerely treats him as a brother. "Pillar" has no dissatisfaction with his cousin's "education" being higher than his own, because he knows that he is not that material, so he is only proud of his cousin's "high education" and has no dissatisfaction.
The original owner had quite good grades when he was in high school, and he would have had a chance to be admitted to college. However, this time the uncle did not continue to offer. Again, this did not cause any dissatisfaction with the original owner.
Even in the eyes of Li Huayong now, there is nothing wrong with "Uncle Gen"'s approach. In addition to farming at home, "Uncle Gen" also has a good carpenter skill. After finishing junior high school, he and his father began to learn to be carpenters. To say that although the "pillar" is not good at reading, he has shown a very high talent in the carpenter's profession, and in just a few years, he even has a tendency to be better than the blue. In the township near Lijiaao, the carpenter skills of the Li family father and son are famous far and wide, and they are famous people in the village.
However, although the Li family's father and son are capable people in the village, they are not the most capable people. The most capable person is the one who found Li Huayong awakened just now.
His name is Li Mingda, and he can be regarded as Li Huayong's cousin, and the people in the entire Li family are more or less related, but the blood is far and near.
Li Mingda is not only a capable person in the village, but even the pride of the entire Li Jiaao. Because he is the only person in the whole village who "eats the imperial grain", he is a regular employee of a large construction company, and even became a "foreman" some time ago. Therefore, when it comes to Li Mingda of Lijiaao, not to mention that the people in the village are proud of him, he is well-known in the entire county.
"Hey, hey, foreman... ”
Thinking of this, a smile hung on the corner of Li Huayong's mouth. In the construction industry, foremen and technicians are the most basic management personnel, if you want to divide the level, the foreman is probably equivalent to the assistant engineer, and there is a certain gap between the engineer and the engineer, not to mention the "deputy chief engineer Li" like him. If Li Mingda is a capable person, then he, the deputy chief engineer of Li...
Of course, Li Huayong just thought about it casually, and he didn't mean to look down on Li Mingda. In fact, Li Mingda is a pretty good person. The reason why Li Huayong will appear in Pengcheng now is all thanks to Li Mingda.
Just some time ago, Li Mingda deliberately went back to Lijiaao to recruit workers, saying that their unit took over a project in Pengcheng, which required a lot of labor, especially those with craftsmanship like "Uncle Gen" and "Zhuzi", which was even more and better.
After returning to the village, he specially told the villagers that although he was recruiting temporary workers this time, the technical school of his unit was preparing to expand its enrollment, and if he performed well in the construction site, he might be recommended to study in the technical school of his unit, and after completing his studies, he could become a regular worker in his unit.
is such a piece of information that makes the entire Li Jiaao people grateful. It is precisely for this reason that Li Huayong and his uncle and cousin appeared in Pengcheng. In addition to them, there are more than 20 other young and strong laborers in the village.
Li Huayong's thoughts continued to go deeper, and after continuing to go deeper, a wry smile hung on the corner of Li Huayong's mouth again.
Originally, when he was in the village, Li Huayong was still relatively respected as a minority of high school students. But when he arrived in Pengcheng, he found that his status had plummeted. There is no other reason, because he has no skills. Uncles and cousins, because they have good carpentry skills, can be "big workers" on this kind of construction site, but like Li Huayong? Of course, they can only be the legendary "small workers".
Moving bricks, doing miscellaneous, giving a hand to the "big worker", the dirtiest work to do, the most tired work to resist... That's what the original owner of this body did.
The original owner of this body has no complaints about these things. Because Li Huayong found out through a search that the original owner of this body was a sincere person. For example, this heat stroke incident was because his cousin casually ordered him to be busy in a foundation pit for half a day. It was precisely because of the heat stroke of the original owner that Li Huayong had the opportunity to "take away his soul"...
"Force, think about my dignified deputy chief engineer Li, and now he has become a force... ”
Thinking of this, Li Huayong felt sad from his heart.
"Labor" is the usual "small worker" in the construction industry. To say that this term is still very vivid. This kind of small worker has no skills, and can only sell his strength on the construction site. What is it that is not "labor"?
Li Gong ----- Ligong, the name sounds similar, but this identity gap...
Li Huayong fell into infinite entanglement.
