Chapter 469: Yu Chenghai's Distress
The next day
When Bai Xiaobai got up, he felt that this was the coldest morning since the beginning of winter.
Pulling a pair of cotton slippers, he got up and opened the curtains.
Everywhere the eye looks, it is almost white.
Chaotianmen Street is snow-white everywhere, and it is already a world of snow.
It seems that it snowed very heavily last night, and it actually accumulated so much snow.
Being in the south, Bai Xiaobai was born until now, and he has seen snow less than a slap on his fingers.
And it's still such a big snowfall.
Bai Xiaobai rubbed his hands excitedly, sighed, opened the window, and took a breath of the freshest snow outside.
The slightly cold wind blew Bai Xiaobai shivering, but he enjoyed this process very much, and it could also refresh his mind.
After a period of relaxation, Bai Xiaobai returned to the bathroom, and after a hurried wash, he hurriedly went downstairs and returned to the glass kitchen to be busy.
During side quests, the morning meal will remain open as usual.
Heavy snowfall can't stop regular customers from being enthusiastic about the food at Xiaobai Restaurant.
When it was close to seven o'clock, there was a queue at the entrance of Xiaobai Restaurant one after another.
Many of the customers in line met each other more because of their common food hobbies, and gradually became friends who talked about everything in private.
While waiting for the morning opening of Xiaobai Restaurant, many people will talk to each other about the latest hot topics about Jianghai.
"Damn, it snowed so hard last night. This is the first snow in the winter of Jianghai. ”
"It's so rare that it snows so hard in the rivers and seas that I almost didn't freeze to death. ”
Several old customers talked about the heavy snow in Jianghai, after all, such a heavy snowfall is really a miracle in Jianghai.
Talking about a snowy day, a middle-aged customer suddenly said, "By the way, all of you, have you heard, the latest news?" ”
"What's the news?"
"Two people froze to death in the snow last night. ”
"Who froze to death? Tell me quickly, don't let people lose their appetite. ”
The middle-aged old customer said, "Yesterday, at the end of Xiafei Road, in an abandoned tent, a woman and a child froze to death there, and the tent was crushed. It's really miserable. ”
Immediately, an old customer said, "Oh, I also saw this in the Jianghai Morning News Express just now, and I heard that both of them are frozen, and they are both wandering." ”
"Well, it's miserable. The report also said that there were no warm quilts in the tent, only a few shabby cotton clothes, and by the way, two empty lunch boxes were found ....... ”
"Maybe it's some kind of food from a good Samaritan. ”
"Who knows, I heard that the child is only in his early eight or nine years old, his legs are still disabled, and the woman's body is also disabled, what a poor mother and daughter. ”
"What about the urban wandering center, the welfare center, and the X-shaped club, and it's time to come out and take a few steps......
"Holy, you're still counting on those institutions to contain you. I really think too much, they are all more than one thing is better than less. It costs a lot of money to charge an extra one, and if they take them in, they may send it to the leader's family for organ transplantation one day......"
"Hey, there's no basis for this, but you can't talk nonsense. ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, I've seen ...... before"
When the old customers lamented that a pair of disabled mothers and children froze to death, Bai Xiaobai also learned the news in the kitchen.
He watched the news express of the local rivers and seas.
The little boy who froze to death in the snow has been shown in the news pictures, although his eyes are mosaic, but he is recognizable from his clothes and scooter.
It was the little boy who Bai Xiaobai fed himself last night.
In fact, Bai Xiaobai originally wanted to pack up a few old clothes and some old bedding today and bring them to him together.
Unexpectedly, in just one night, the little boy died so suddenly.
Although he didn't have too much contact with the little boy, Bai Xiaobai felt a little sad at the moment.
At such a young age, he died early before he had much contact with this society, which is always regrettable.
I only hope that the little boy can join a happy family in the next life......
Bai Xiaobai prayed silently.
When dinner arrived in the morning, Bai Xiaobai opened for business as usual, and was not too affected by the little boy's affairs.
There are as many regular customers as ever.
After the busy meal in the morning, Bai Xiaobai, Gao Chao, and Li Qin went to Xiafei Road to set up a stall as usual.
Because yesterday's business left an excellent reputation.
At lunchtime, many construction workers near Xiafei Road lined up to patronize.
Yu Chenghai was also in the long line, but compared to yesterday, he looked very haggard today.
Today is the last day, and after finishing work, Yu Chenghai will also go home for the New Year.
Originally, the foreman said that he would be able to pay his salary last week, but he did not pay it until noon today.
This is sad for Yu Chenghai, he is old and young, just waiting to carry most of the construction salary for half a year, and be able to go home for a stable year.
After it was Yu Chenghai's turn, after he bought Bai Xiaobai's fast food box lunch, he squatted next to Bai Xiaobai to eat.
The taste is still delicious, but Yu Chenghai, who is depressed, can't think of the deliciousness of the food for the time being, and his mind is full of salary.
"Alas-" Yu Chenghai couldn't help but sigh as he ate fast food.
Bai Xiaobai happened to hear it, and thought that the fast food tasted bad, so he casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Chenghai said, "Boss, your fast food box lunch is delicious, but I'm too depressed now, uncomfortable, and uncomfortable." ”
Gao Chao and Li Qin were in charge of collecting money and cooking respectively, and Bai Xiaobai was temporarily idle, so he took the opportunity to ask Yu Chenghai about his thoughts.
Yu Chenghai happened to lack someone to confide in, so he lit a cigarette and told the truth about the difficulty of asking for salary.
The problem of difficulty in obtaining wages for famous agricultural workers has always existed.
Although the relevant departments and some legal bricks have repeatedly emphasized that before entering the work, it is necessary to sign some official documents such as labor contracts.
But in reality, this is all on paper, not practical at all.
Implemented on the construction site, the steps of this labor contract have basically been passed.
Most of the foremen are full of anger, clamoring for what employment contract to sign, you love to do, don't leave, I am not short of people.
Therefore, most construction workers can only submit to the authority of the foreman in order to earn a living.
After going to work, there is basically no formal labor contract protection.
It is precisely because of this that when they ask for wages at the end of the year, these migrant construction workers are often subjected to all kinds of difficulties by the foreman and the boss.
I can't get a lot of hard-earned money for more than half a year.
Yu Chenghai said, "Boss, can you help us write a letter to the Government Letters and Visits Office?"
Bai Xiaobai was sweating all over the waterfall.
He is a restaurateur and is good at making delicious food, but he really doesn't know much about these legal issues that are difficult to get paid.
Yu Chenghai said, "Boss, I can't read, you can help me write a letter to the Letters and Visits Office and put it in the mailbox, maybe it will be a little useful." ”
In the past two days, the contractor has been blocked, and the effect is not good, Yu Chenghai hopes to use the power of the government to intervene in this matter, which should be the last hope.
Because Yu Chenghai has always been eager and sincere, Bai Xiaobai agreed.
Anyway, it's just a matter of a letter, and it's a gesture.
Moreover, the peasants and workers are the builders of the city, and without them, there would be no high-rise buildings in the city.
In a person's life, to a greater or lesser extent, they will encounter various setbacks and difficulties.
Within his limited ability, he can help, which is also one of Bai Xiaobai's principles.
