Chapter 22: Builders
The Sanhe talent market in the early morning is always the most lively time of the day.
"Chang'an Xiaobian Electronics Factory, easy work, good food, twelve yuan an hour, up to ten hours a day, the construction period is twelve days, and I signed up here. ”
"Boluo Hardware Factory, eight hours a day, a salary of 110 yuan, including food and housing, salary and daily settlement, if you want to come, hurry up and seize the opportunity. ”
The above voices resounded one after another from the electric horns.
After a week, Song Yong, who returned to this environment again, actually had a sense of familiarity and intimacy with bringing fish back to the sea.
The only difference is that the above daily work, which he once loved, did not mean to come forward to ask today.
Instead, after a long walk around the talent market, he walked towards the corner.
In that position, a short and fat middle-aged man with a big gold chain around his neck had a sign on the recruitment position.
The sign reads six simple words: Construction site recruitment.
Judging by the unique temperament of a middle-aged man, it is a person who can guess his profession: a contractor at a certain construction site.
The problem is that in this year, the core strength of each contractor is the villagers brought from his hometown, those middle-aged men who have a family, and these people are enough to bear hardships and stand hard work.
If you want to recruit the right construction workers from the talent market, it is really not a reliable attention.
Very simply, the young people who mingle here, where can they see the dirty and tiring work on the construction site, they would rather go to the factory to do the assembly line, or even deliver food than go to the construction site to do coolies.
Even the wages on the construction site are often several times that of the others.
Therefore, when Song Yong walked over, he could see that the foreman was bowing his head with a depressed face, smoking vigorously with a thick finger with two gold rings, holding a cigarette.
As for his back, it seems that no one has been recruited.
Without any ink, Song Yong asked straight to the point: "Boss, what kind of work do you recruit people to go to the construction site, how much is your daily salary, and do you have food and accommodation?"
The sudden appearance of the inquirer made the contractor, who had not recruited a person for a long time, immediately excited.
He was smoking his head down, and he didn't raise it completely, and a string of answers popped out of his mouth:
"Recruiting small workers, it may be hard to catch up with the project recently, so 300 yuan a day, food and accommodation, to ensure that the fat slices of each meal are enough. ”
However, when the contractor raised his head and saw Song Yong's appearance clearly, he immediately frowned.
has been a contractor on the construction site for half his life, and it can be said that there are tens of thousands of migrant workers who have eaten in his hands.
Therefore, to see if he can do it for a long time on the construction site, whether he is the person who eats this bowl of rice, he can also have a level of seven or eight points at a glance.
As for Song Yong in front of him, it is obvious that he is not the one who eats this bowl of rice.
At this age, a young man looking for a job with a backpack on his back has recruited some before, but when it comes to work, he is always lazy, afraid of hardship, afraid of tiredness, not to mention this, at most he will not do it for a few days.
To be honest, he didn't want to invite such a young master back at all.
For this reason, after he subconsciously took a heavy puff of cigarette, he wanted to find an excuse at random to send the guy in front of him away.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the young man in front of him said something that was very unexpected to him......
In fact, as soon as Song Yong saw the expression of the contractor, he knew what the other party was thinking in his heart and what the same plan was;
Only today, everything looks different.
As long as the salary is high, what he doesn't steal or rob is a serious income, he doesn't mind doing a job, he used to do dirty work and tiring work without even glancing at his eyes.
"Well, boss, you don't think this will work. ”
Carefully organizing the language, and making the final determination for himself, Song Yong began to tell and express his position.
"I promise that I will not be less than half a little less than others in a day, and besides, after I have been working for two days, I only need to advance two hundred yuan of cigarette money, and the rest of the salary will be settled on a monthly basis, and I will be given it on time. ”
Faced with such a statement, the contractor agreed without thinking: "That's done." ”
When it comes to this, there is no need for him to refuse; if he really wants to do something, he just drives him away.
When the time comes, he will not pay half a dime to this hanging hair.
If he dares to make trouble, could it be that the more than 100 migrant workers from his hometown under his command are all unable to eat dry food.
Two hours later, on a construction site somewhere in the deep city.
Song Yong, a newly baked construction worker, has started his new job: construction worker.
The so-called small workers are actually handymen on the construction site, who go wherever they are needed, because they have no skills, and they are a hard job that earns money by physical strength.
For example, now, Song Yong feels the hardships and pains of being constantly called on like a big animal.
"Hang * Mao, pay attention to stand firm, and go faster, don't grind like a little old lady. Two middle-aged men with a hint of a wicked smile shouted in Mandarin with a Jiangxi accent.
Just now, the contractor foreman, who was also their fellow villager, told them to keep an eye on this young man and not let him find the slightest opportunity to be lazy.
In this way, they still don't realize the meaning of anything.
Under the combined force of their two people, they lifted a bag of cement and placed it on Song Yong's shoulder.
After shouldering a bag of cement weighing 100 catties, Song Yong immediately felt a huge weight, and pressed down on his shoulder, making his legs a little weak.
Carrying this bag of cement, Song Yong took heavy steps and walked towards a place about twenty steps away.
This was the first task he was assigned when he arrived at the construction site: he and six other people needed to unload two truckloads of 40 tons of cement and stack them in the specified place.
The weather in the summer in the deep city is originally known for its high temperatures.
Carrying such a heavy load, I only walked a few steps away, and immediately I could feel the sweat all over my body, as if I had turned on a faucet, and it was constantly pressed out of my body.
It's just a trip to carry cement, and the position of the T-shirt vest on his body is completely wet with sweat.
The sweat that kept running down his forehead immediately stinged when it flowed into his eyes.
And Song Yong, who was covered in cement ash, couldn't even make the simple action of wiping the sweat on his forehead with his hands.
The labor protection mask on the mouth can isolate most of the flying cement ash.
But it also made Song Yong's breathing seem unprecedentedly difficult.
Not only that, but when the cement ash on his body was mixed with sweat, it also made his skin extremely uncomfortable.
But even so, after Song Yong put down and stacked a bag of cement, he didn't even stop for half a moment, and walked towards the cart loaded with cement.
The playfulness and contempt in the eyes of those two migrant workers, he can naturally see it in his eyes.
If it had been before, he might have been furious immediately, but at this moment, a huge flame and unwillingness burned in his heart.
For this, he gritted his teeth and told himself:
"Today is tired and dead here, and you have to keep doing it, what others can do, Song Yong, you will definitely be able to do it......"
In this way, in the eyes of the migrant workers on the construction site, this young man who would run away if he couldn't do it for a while gritted his teeth and finished unloading two trucks of cement.
In contrast, he didn't move even half a bag less than anyone else.
Face and attention, these are not earned by others, but by oneself; from the beginning of unloading the second car of cement, there is no contempt for this young man!
