Do you know why that cousin took care of me? first, when he came to see me pitiful, and secondly, he had received the benefits of my father before. This cousin was originally from the same village as us.

Although he did not share the surname with my father, he was a brother by generation, and his grandmother and my father's grandmother were cousins in their own family. According to these two levels of relationship, both are brothers. That's why it's called the old watch.

We, the juniors, call our cousins or uncles. Just because he was a potter in the kiln at home, he once accidentally fell into the earthen kiln with one leg while watching the fire, and burned both legs back to a layer of skin, which was miserable.

My father, who had learned some unilateral remedies for scalding from my great-grandmother, took the initiative to help him treat and take care of him until he recovered. With this incident, after seeing that I was injured, he didn't say a word and took on the responsibility of taking care of me.

We lived idle for half a month, and the boss had not yet come, but he first sent a cook and a foreman. The construction site has not officially started, so the foreman will find us some chores. After finishing the chores, we can eat the food that was cooked. In this way, having food and drink every day can be regarded as settling.

The old man who cooked was very cheerful and spoke very politely. One of his greatest advantages is that he never underestimates people, whether they are new workers or old workers, rich or poor, they all treat them all. I heard that he is the cousin of the boss Wang Zhixue's own door.

I also heard from the old worker that he never used paper to wipe the X strands, but used some short wooden sticks that were shaved clean. And the short sticks were hidden in his drawers. So, when it's okay, people are working together to find a way to sneak into his house and find a way to smear some peppers or nail some pins or something like his short sticks, then he's miserable.

As we talked, we imagined his teeth cracking when he rubbed his x strands with those short sticks with chili peppers or when he was pricked with pins. But for this kind of thing, people just talk about it casually and laugh funny.

As for really going to do it, I still can't do it and I don't want to. Because there are some jokes in the world that can be made, and some jokes that cannot be made.

Our foreman's name was Wang Zaishan, in his forties, of medium build, slightly chubby, and he was a nephew of Wang Zhixue's farther afield. Yufang told me that this foreman is a well-known "knife in a smile", and you must not listen to him when you are working, and you must not listen to him to find you a good job.

If you say that, he'll definitely find you a dirty and tiring job. I really don't believe it,

Unexpectedly, I really bumped into it once.

It was one morning, after I had done a chore, Wang Zaishan suddenly came to my side and whispered to me: "Zhang Jianming, you come with me, I will send you a good errand to do!" When I heard him say that a good errand was sent to me, I was so happy that I was overjoyed.

However, following him to the place where he was working made me dumbfounded. It turned out that he asked me to transfer dozens of bales of cement to another place. That's when I believed Yufang's words.

However, serving other people's bowls is in charge of others, so I have to take the cement to the car and then transfer it to another place. After turning dozens of bags of cement, I was so tired that I was panting.

In the days when we were doing chores, we were all looking forward to the arrival of Yunzhi. Those who are close to him want to rely on him to ask the foreman to find some light work to do, and those who are far away from him like me also want him to come and negotiate with the foreman about wages. We are looking forward and waiting, waiting and waiting!

That Yunzhi arrived around the twentieth day of the first month. He came with a large group of people. Among them are his uncle's old cousin, as well as his nephew Lao Zhan on the door, and his wife's mother's family.

After Yun Zhi arrived, he first went to each dormitory to take a look, cared about everyone's diet and daily life, and then explained some words to those who had a little face in his mind.

I wanted him to talk to me, but he scolded me after explaining to everyone. I can't remember what he scolded me now, and I don't know what I did wrong. I think it's a "trumped-up" charge.

In short, the grievances in my heart are very great. I even wanted to leave the site. Sometimes I wonder if I offended him or my parents offended him, and I don't understand it when I think about it.

Later, it was my cousin who helped me guess why he scolded me. He said, I am very likely to have committed Yun Zhi's taboo. What is going on? We have to start with Yunzhi's part-time work experience.

Nayun Zhiyuan is a veteran. Unfortunately, when he reached middle age, his wife died of diabetes, leaving him with a ten-year-old daughter. The father and daughter depend on each other, and although life is a little harder, but fortunately, the father and daughter are deeply in love, and their lives are stable and smooth.

Later, a comrade-in-arms who had previously served in the army together received a letter from him. The comrade-in-arms said in the letter that one of his cousins, who worked as a contractor for a construction team in Beijing, asked Yun if he wanted to work with him.

Yun Zhi thought about it, it was difficult to change the status quo of the family with a few acres of thin land for himself and his daughter, so he agreed to the request of his comrades-in-arms and came to Beijing to work alone in 1990. It just so happened that his comrade-in-arms was working as a foreman for the boss in Badaling, and he worked under him.

At that time, China's reform and opening up was just beginning, the level of mechanization was still quite backward, and most of the work still relied on manpower. Yun Zhi and several other workers had to carry dozens of bricks up the mountain every day. At night, I felt that my back and legs hurt, and the bones in my body seemed to fall apart.

But Yun Zhi was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, so he stayed there for two years...... The boss Wang Zhixue saw that he worked very hard, and with the strong recommendation of his comrades-in-arms, he asked him to bring people to work. Guoqiang, Guofu, Shihua, and Yunzhi are the first batch, and we are the second batch.

But each of us needs to deduct a dollar from our salary every day to Yunzhi. In other words, we earn seven dollars a day and can only lose six dollars. Those "smart" and "knowing" people will buy some gifts to sit at his house in order to please and curry favor with Yun Zhi before their children come to Yun Zhi.

And my father is a straight man who refuses to do those "shameful" things, which first has a spectrum in Yun Zhi's heart.
