"Dig it, dig it" novella

People don't want to meet things they don't want to see, but sometimes these things come up dramatically.

One morning, I was out of work.

It should be said that we are all unemployed.

Today, the accountant came to the construction site in a big pickup truck and explained the news.

This incident happened half a month ago, but it was discovered yesterday.

The accountant choked up and said: "Yun Huateng, the owner of our coal mine, committed suicide by drinking pesticides at home, and the pesticides he drank half a month ago were only discovered yesterday by debt collection. The company still has 47.39 million tons of coal inventory that cannot be sold, and people are going to collect things and leave. You don't have to go to the mine today, and you won't need to go to the mine in the future. ”

Everyone began to ask what to do next, but the accountant just continued to say: "This year's coal mines are all stockpiled in the warehouse, and many factories that use coal outside have been converted to electrical production." The demand for coal is decreasing in all industries, and some factories that have a rigid demand for coal are only buying small quantities at low prices. This year, compared to last year, the loss is 55 percent. The loss was 4.062 billion yuan, and the profit decreased by 6.074 billion yuan compared with the same period last year. ”

I barely understood the jargon that the accountant said. My colleagues around me didn't understand either, and began to ask in unison what to do next.

The accountant reluctantly said again: "The boss of Yunhuateng made money last year and expanded the scale. A lot of the money was borrowed, and some machines were still lending money from banks. The loss is too big, and the coal will rot in the warehouse if it can't be sold. Now the whole mine and the machinery inside are going to be taken away by the bank, and we have no money. There are still more than 100,000 here, so let's divide one point and forget it. ”

Almost no one agreed, and the accountant began to quarrel.

But the accountant took out today's newspaper, and the headline was the suicide of a coal boss and a pesticide with tens of millions of assets. The news that the debt was collected after half a month at home was found was exactly what the accountant said. The coal industry was also mentioned in the news, and newspapers began to circulate.

"If you don't take the last 100,000 yuan today, tomorrow the people outside will come to collect the things. When the time comes, you won't be able to get what you want, don't you understand?" said the accountant helplessly.

Helplessly, the accountant squeezed through the crowd and came to the side and called the foremen of each team.

The foreman will give it to the captain in his hand, and then the captain will take the lead in issuing it.

The sea took the lead in accepting the money, and by the time it was distributed among the ten of us, it was already pitiful.

More than 300 workers in the entire mining area finally received more than 800 yuan each.

A bunch of people sit around in groups of people, friends to friends, and villagers to villagers, thinking about their future plans.

The sea seemed as overwhelmed as I was, and I sat on the ground with the sea on my side.

I couldn't have imagined that what I was thinking about yesterday would come true today.

Many people began to pack their belongings, and some said they planned to return home to farm.

Others clamored that they had saved a lot of money and planned to do business together.

But more people still hope to ask if the mine next door is still recruiting.

A foreman stood up and retorted with a wry smile: "Now a ton of coal is not as profitable as a bottle of Coca-Cola, not counting freight." From the original net profit of 1,000 yuan per ton of coal, it was only a little more than 300 yuan last month. Even if I haven't said it, hasn't there been a lot of people spreading about this recession lately? The machines here can mine 30 tons of coal a day, but the consumption of the machines is 8,000 yuan a day. This consumption is not counting the loss of maintenance and breakdown, and the coal miners outside are not the only ones who are unemployed. ”

It seems to be like a fact, and each of us is overwhelmed.

I looked at the sea and said, "Is there any other place we can go?"

The sea shook its head and looked at the sky in silence.

A few hours later I packed my bags with the sea, and the sea told me that he was going back to take over my father's half-acre of land.

I was at a loss because my land had already been rented out.

But helplessness can only be helplessness, thinking about it or going home to see.

The sea is in the same village as me, and the sea helped me pay for the long distance bus back.

At this point, I remembered that ten years ago, the sea also paid the money.

Because it was the sea that brought me to dig coal.

On the way, the sea has only one request for me, don't say that the two people came back because the company closed down.

The sea pondered for a whole night on the long-distance bus, and dictated to me that he had a car and a house in a big city in a foreign country. Those who came back to visit relatives with hundreds of thousands, let me help hide it. He also told me that I could also use similar excuses to save face.

When I thought about it, I asked him how he wanted to come back to farm because he was just here to visit his family.

The sea just lowered his head and said, "Let's hide it first, it's better to take one step at a time." ”

I agreed to help the sea hide it, and the sea thought about whether to help me come up with a good excuse.

I shook my head and did not answer the sea.

Because I don't know how to say it, and I don't know how to make it up.

The outside of the village had changed by this time, and I had become a different one.

The small wooden houses in the village have been turned into concrete houses, and the muddy path at the entrance of the village has also been paved with concrete roads.

I just remembered that when I went out, I just said that I was going to work, and I haven't been back for ten years, not to mention that there was no contact information at that time.

At this time, Dahai and I were standing at the entrance of the village, and Dahai proposed to stay in a hotel at the entrance of the village for one night before going back.

We looked at each other's appearances, and the sea really didn't look like a successful person at this time. If the sea doesn't look like it, then I should be even more outrageous.

The hotel at the entrance of the village is more than eight floors high, and we stayed in room 603.

That is, the sixth floor No. 3, this height can indeed see the whole village.

The houses in the village are all decent, but my house is still a small brick house that looks out of place with the surroundings.

I think about the sea, and the sea usually spends a lot of money on it for ten years, leaving only a hundred thousand.

I don't usually have much money to spend, and I have more than 400,000 savings on hand.

More than 400,000 is nothing in the big cities outside, and they can't afford to buy a house. Even a good-looking car is far more than 400,000 yuan.

I like the look of the car, but I don't know how to drive at all.

For ten years I knew almost nothing but mine.

I wondered if I needed to give myself an excuse, a reasonable excuse.

That day, the sea pulled me to buy a suit, I didn't buy a suit but got a haircut with him.

The next morning, the sea said that he was going home first, and helped me renew my hotel room for one more day. Said let me wait for a day to go back, let me say pretend not to know him. Because he was afraid that I would say that I resigned before I went back, and when the time came, it would be unreasonable to say that one was a big boss and the other had just resigned.
