Tao Tao learned from the phone that Baokui, who had signed a contract, was actually interning in the headquarters building of the provincial capital.

He does not blow in the wind, nor rain, nor from the cold, nor from the sun.

Although Wang Xiaochao was not able to work in the provincial capital, after he was assigned to the Longdong Communications Office, he was also sitting in the office, working on the information at hand, which was completely mental work.

Fan Wei signed in to the hydropower plant, went to and from work, and sent the car to the car, without having to run away by himself.

Fan Rong signed in for oil production and was assigned to Dingbian Oil Production Plant No. 8, even if he was on the team, it was the captain who personally drove over to pick up Fan Rong.

Why did it take the drilling team's turn to find their own car?

This is the second time that Tao Tao regrets that he didn't listen to Dongmei's words and chose to join the drilling team.

He looked at the drilling team that could not be reached, and cursed in his heart, the drilling team is really a bad unit, not only has a bad reputation, but also nothing is good, even when it comes to treating new employees, it is not good.

Tao Tao and Haiyu sat against the wall, they looked around, vehicles coming and going, but there was no way to reach the 40656A drilling team.

Seeing that it was almost dark, the waves and the fish were very hungry.

The two ate a bowl of noodles at a nearby restaurant.

However, the rice of the Mongolian people is very oily, and the two people who ate it almost vomited.

And because it's remote, the cost is very high.

A bowl of noodles sold for three yuan in the provincial capital is sold for ten yuan here.

Ten yuan a bowl of noodles, Tao Tao has grown so big, it is the most expensive bowl of noodles he has ever eaten.

When Taotao and Haiyu came out of the hotel, still confused, they saw Huang Gang who was sitting in a pickup truck and passed by the two.

Tao Tao and Huang Gang had a fight, so the relationship between the two was not good.

However, when Taotao looked at Huang Gang and had a pickup truck to pick him up, he was still envious.

Just when Tao Tao was envious, Haiyu shouted at Huang Gang: "Huang Gang, which team are you on, can you pull the two of us up?"

I saw that the pickup truck stopped.

Huang Gang and the driver got out of the car.

Haiyu looked at Huang Gang and said enviously: "Huang Gang, your team is so good, there is even a car to pick you up." ”

Huang Gang sighed and said, "What, our captain asked me to go by myself, I couldn't find the way, so I called my brother-in-law, and he came over to drive me over." ”

Huang Gang's brother-in-law was the head driver of the nearby drilling team, so he drove over to pick up Huang Gang.

Taotao, who was standing in the distance, heard that Huang Gang had a brother-in-law to send him, he was very envious, envious that Huang Gang had a sister.

Huang Gang's brother-in-law looked at Haiyu and Taotao, asked them, and said, "Which team are you going to, I'll give you a ride." ”

Hearing this, Haiyu hurriedly said happily: "Big brother, let's go to the 40656A drilling team, do you know?"

Huang Gang's brother-in-law thought for a while and said, "40656A, it seems to be a four-zero shelf, a newly established team, the captain of their team is called Chen Birui?"

Hearing that Huang Gang's brother-in-law actually knew what the name of the captain of the 40656A drilling team was, Tao Tao stepped forward, and he said excitedly: "Big brother, then you can take us over for a while." ”

Huang Gang's brother-in-law hesitated and said, "Although I know about the 40656A drilling team, I don't know where their team has moved?"

Hearing this, Tao Tao's newly ignited hope was shattered again.

Taotao took out his mobile phone, very helpless.

Compared with Taotao's helplessness, Haiyu dialed the captain's phone and asked Huang Gang's brother-in-law to talk to the captain.

I saw that after the two talked for a while, Huang Gang's brother-in-law finally began to nod.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Gang's brother-in-law said, "You two come up, the team that my brother Huang Gang went to happened to pass by your team, and I will pass you a little by the way." ”

Hearing this, Taotao felt extremely happy and could finally join the team.

After Tao Tao and Hai Yuft got into the pickup truck, the pickup truck drove into the heart of the Sulige Desert.

After entering the desert, Tao Tao saw the magic of nature.

In the half-grassland, half-desert desert, it is not only boundless, but also eerie.

Huang Gang's brother-in-law drove for a while, but he didn't know the way.

He picked up the phone and began to ask Captain Chen Birui.

Although Huang Gang is going to the team, he will pass by the 40656A drilling team, but if he does not send Taotao and Haiyu over, he will still miss the 40656A drilling.

Because the desert is so big that if you are not careful, you will miss a drilling team.

Although the desert is flat, people's vision is very limited, and it is impossible to see all the drilling teams.

The desert was like sea level, and it wasn't until the pickup truck went up a sand dune that you couldn't see a drilling crew.

As night fell, the desert, which had been pitch black, began to appear with stars, like neon lights in a big city.

Tao Tao looked at the barren desert, and suddenly there were colorful lights, and he thought that there was a prosperous area ahead.

However, those lights were just the lights on the drilling team, on the derrick.

There is no prosperity at all around, there is only infinite desolation and desolation.

Pickup trucks are running fast in the desert, speeding all the way.

Finally, the pickup truck arrived at the legendary 40656A drilling team after bypassing the intricate roads.

Due to the poor sealing of the pickup truck, when Tao Tao and Haiyu got out of the car, their legs were almost frozen and unconscious.

The gas wells in the Sulige Desert are all wells drilled for 4,000 meters, and they are divided into well sites and stations.

There is a derrick in the well field, which is a place for well drilling, and there are more than a dozen iron houses in the station, which can be regarded as a place to stay and live.

After Tao Tao and Haiyu got out of the pickup truck, they stood alone in front of the tin house in the station.

They looked at the desolation around them, and their hearts were full of desolation.

In the whole station, not a single person greeted them, and no one welcomed them.

Occasionally, a few grizzled drillers came out of the tin house, and only looked indifferently at the waves and the fish, and then took them as air.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Taotao's heart was shocked.

According to Tao Tao's idea of a student, he is a college undergraduate, and when he comes to a new unit, he should be warmly welcomed by everyone, pulled into the house by everyone, entertained with good food and drink, and then talk eloquently.

But the scene in front of him is really not the same as Tao Tao thought, except for indifference, it is still indifferent.

Tao Tao and Haiyu stood in front of the iron house in the station, and after standing for nearly half an hour, Captain Chen Birui finally returned from the well site.

When he saw the two new workers, he didn't smile, let alone welcome, but asked Taotao directly, "Young man, how are you doing, are you not sick?"

Hearing this, Tao Tao was very surprised, he felt that strangers meeting each other, it stands to reason that they should greet each other politely, why as soon as they met, he asked how his body was?

That's rude, isn't it?

Although Tao Tao was puzzled, he looked at the person in front of him, dressed very cleanly, with his hands behind his back, and a leader posture, thinking that he should be Captain Chen Birui.

So, Tao Tao said politely: "Hello Captain Chen, I am in very good health." ”

Captain Chen put his hands in his pants pockets, looked at the sea fish, and asked him, "How are you doing, can you work?"

The sea fish is not tall and has an angry face.

He nodded and said, "I can work." ”

Hearing this, Captain Chen walked towards his room.

He said: "Administrator, arrange a dormitory for these two guys, and after three days of safety education, let them go to the drill floor." ”

With that, Captain Chen entered his house and ignored the two.

Tao Tao didn't expect that the first meeting between himself and the captain would end in such a conversation.

The Administrator was a middle-aged man in his forties, and his expression was still grim.

After running around a few houses with Tao Tao and Haiyu, he finally found two houses with empty beds.

The caretaker first took Tao Tao into a tin house and said, "The worker of this bed, he is going home for the time being, you can sleep in his bed first." ”

Hearing this, Tao Tao was stupid, he said in his heart, he is a college student, he came to work for your team, and he didn't even arrange a bed, and let himself sleep in someone else's bed.

Taotao wanted to protest, but he felt that he had just arrived, so it was better to keep a low profile.

So he said, "Steward, don't you have a vacant bed?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Our team is a new team, the facilities are not complete, there are many people, there are few houses, and there are fewer beds. ”

Taotao's brows were furrowed together, and he said: "Is it true that everyone is fighting guerrillas like this, a bed, you go home, he sleeps, he goes home, you sleep?"

The administrator glared at Taotao, and then said with a bad face: "If you want to live, you can live, if you don't want to live, get out." ”

Hearing this, Tao Tao was hit mercilessly again.

He didn't expect that the people here, when they met for the first time, would still talk dirty.

Tao Tao sat on the bed, carrying a large box in his hand and a large bag on his back.

He looked at the crowded dormitory and said, "Master, where do you put these things of mine?"

The administrator said coldly: "Whoever asked you to take so many things, if you can put them down, you can put them down, if you can't put them down, take them out and throw them into the desert outside." ”

After speaking, the administrator went out and left.

Seeing the administrator's bad attitude, Taotao's heart cooled a lot.

This is the third time he regrets coming to the drilling team.

Because he felt that as a civilized man, he was having difficulty adapting to the savagery and roughness of the drillers.

Like Tao Tao, the fish were arranged on the bed of a worker returning home.

Tao Tao sat on the bed, he looked at the room price of five square meters, there were four beds, and they were all bunk beds, crowded.

Not to mention putting things here, it is difficult to put toiletries.

Tao Tao was very tired, and he wanted to go to bed and rest for a while.

But when he saw the oil-stained sheets, Tao Tao couldn't go on.

It was hard for him to imagine that he was going to sleep in such a dirty bed.

Just when Tao Tao was at a loss, the driller who worked the day shift got off work.

When they returned to the house, they looked at the waves and the fish as curious as the monkeys in the zoo.

There was no one in the group who greeted Taotao.

Tao Tao could only stand up, take the initiative to say hello, and said, "Hello master, hello, your surname is ......."

A young man with two big red faces whose faces were frozen out said in a rude Longfang dialect: "My name is Zhao Bo. ”

A young man with sneaky eyes and a treacherous face said, "My name is Nanxiao." ”

A young man with a slightly white face said, "My name is Cheng Zhengjie." ”

Tao Tao looked at the young man in front of him and asked about their ages, and he learned that the three people in front of him were not more than twenty years old, and they were all eighteen or nineteen children.

In the past, they either farmed at home, worked outside, or wandered outside.

When they heard that the drilling team was recruiting, they came to the drilling team through their relatives and worked here as zero-hour workers.

At this time, a thirty-five-year-old man suddenly entered.

After he took off his hard hat, he said to Taotao, and said: "Are you the fuck, are you the new apprentice, just give you to me, let me be your master, I can't take it with me, I really have been moldy for eight lifetimes." ”

After speaking, the man rushed to the waves and vented his dissatisfaction. [.]
