Chapter 68 Suffering in the Bitter Temper

Yang Qianxun walked to Li Hao's side and stood with him, watching the drivers sweat profusely, still busy, carrying things on the car one by one.

"How many more are left unloaded?" Yang Qianxun asked Li Hao.

"After unloading this car, there is another car." As he spoke, he ran to the front of the car again and helped the driver below pick up the noodle bags that had been dropped from the car. Yang Qianxun resisted the urge to go up and wipe the flour off his face, walked to the kitchen, saw Master Sun cleaning up the kitchen utensils all over the floor, and asked him, "Master Sun, can you eat today?" ”

"If you want to have a meal, Mr. Li has already said that you will eat noodles tonight." Master Sun was busy in his hands, glanced at her, and continued to pack his things. Out of the kitchen, the doors of the other rooms that lived here were basically opened, and some of the women and children in the room stood at the door, and some stood in the courtyard, all looking curiously at this group of busy people.

At five o'clock, everything was finally cleaned up, and Yang Qianxun, who was in the front yard, also received a notice to take his rice bowl to the backyard kitchen and eat the first meal of the Xiaomeishan Coal Mine.

Yang Qianxun walked into the kitchen, and Master Sun said, "Mr. Yang, wait a minute, I'm still under the noodles, and the last pot has been eaten by the drivers." ”

Yang Qianxun said "not in a hurry", put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked into a room of the drivers, a writing desk at the door of the room put all the drivers who live in this room water cups, two kettles, two folding chairs against the wall next to it, under the table are several plastic basins for washing faces, behind the door is a large plastic water tank, there is a little water in it. Directly facing the door was a coal stove, which had been lit, and the room was relatively warm, and the drivers were sitting on the edge of the bed on the first floor, drinking noodles in a rice bowl. Seeing Yang Qianxun walk in, Xiao Xu first said: "Mr. Yang, this is a boys' dormitory, and ladies are exempt!" A few people next to him laughed as they drank noodles.

"You have to be mentally prepared in the future, I will come to the door at any time." Yang Qianxun smiled and said, "It seems that you have all cleaned up, and this noodle has been eaten!" ”

"It's just a little unfamiliar." Said one of the drivers.

"Listening to people here, it's more than 3,600 meters above sea level, and it's hard to cook," another driver explained.

"Yes, that's the condition here, but I'll ask Master Sun to think of a way to cook as much as possible. Eat yourselves. After Yang Qianxun finished speaking, he walked out of the room. I don't know where Li Hao and Liu Zhiyang are, she went into another room, and Liu Zhiyang, like other drivers, sat on the edge of the bed with his own rice bowl and ate noodles, so he asked him where Li Hao went. Liu Zhiyang put down the rice bowl, took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe his mouth, and then said to her: "He lives in another room, I don't know if he is in the room?" ”

Yang Qianxun went to their last driver's dormitory here, but still didn't find Li Hao, and he didn't know if he had eaten, thinking in his heart, back in the kitchen, Master Sun said, "Mr. Yang, your rice bowl Mr. Li has already helped you take it away." ”

Yang Qianxun agreed, went back to the front yard, the light was on in the room, Li Hao was sitting at the table, eating his own noodles, when he saw Yang Qianxun coming in, he said to her: "Our room is not locked yet, why have you been out for so long?" Let's eat, I haven't eaten in a day. ”

Yang Qianxun sat down with a smile and took a bite of noodles, "It's really uncooked!" As he spoke, he swallowed hard, looking at Li Hao and not wanting to eat anymore. Li Hao said: "Isn't there still ham sausage bread?" You can eat that, but the cooking here is not too cooked, and you still have to eat it in the future. ”

Yang Qianxun said: "I won't eat it today." Tell Master Sun tomorrow that if you cook the noodles again, let him cook them for a longer time. After speaking, he went to the room and took out the bread he brought from Xining, handed a ham sausage to Li Hao, and ate it himself.

The next morning, before Yang Qianxun opened the door, her neighbor, the captain of the mining area, a man in his forties and fifties, knocked on the door, Yang Qianxun opened the door, and a tall man in camouflage uniform and a black thief hat stood at the door: "Hello big brother, what's the matter?" ”

"You're Mr. Li, right?"

"No, my surname is Yang, and Mr. Li is in the backyard."

"I'm already on the morning shift, you guys come with me with the car, and I'll arrange work for you?" Said the captain.

"You wait for me, I'll call them." Yang Qianxun hurriedly walked out of the door.

"I'll just wait where the dump truck is parked." The captain finished speaking and left.

Yang Qianxun hurriedly closed the door and went to the backyard to find Li Hao.

The first day's work officially began, Li Hao and Liu Zhiyang both went to the construction site with the driver, Yang Qianxun walked to the slope where they could see their work, and saw them directing the drivers to carefully check the vehicles, the drivers drove the car, lined up to the gas station, and drove into the construction site. All the cars drove away, and Li Hao and Liu Zhiyang also followed the cars down the construction site. It seems that the fuel tank of car number five has been repaired. Yang Qianxun thought about it, followed his ten cars for a while, walked back to the commissary, bought six locks and brought them back to his residence.

When I returned to the room and looked at my empty water tank, I didn't know when the mine would release water, so I asked my neighbor's eldest sister, saying that it would start at eleven o'clock and put it for an hour every day.

Locked his own door, took the remaining five locks to the backyard, put one for each driver's dormitory, and gave the other two to Master Sun, and then returned to the front yard. At eleven o'clock, Yang Qianxun looked out of the window, and a woman was already carrying a bucket to catch water in front of the water pipe that was still on the ground, and she hurriedly went out with the bucket. With great difficulty, he lifted four buckets, filled the water tank, and put another bucket directly on the edge of the water tank, and then sat down to rest with a sigh of relief.

Li Hao came back, saw that her busy hair was wet with sweat, stuck to her forehead, and asked her strangely what she was doing? Yang Qianxun pointed to the water tank placed in front of him. Li Hao smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Won't it be over when I come back to fetch water? Yang Qianxun asked him, "How did you do this morning?" ”

"It's okay, but these drivers really can't help it, either their own cars or they don't care about it! If you don't look at the road at all, you can't stop screaming when you run wildly. ”

The first day finally passed peacefully, and after dinner at six o'clock in the evening, Yang Qianxun looked at Liu Zhiyang's count of the number of trips per car and calculated the profit of the day. The number of trips pulled by each car is different, the least pulls nine trips, the most pulls seventeen trips, on average, a car earns less than 1,500 yuan per shift, but also to remove the fuel money, driver's salary, meal expenses, etc., roughly the net profit is also seven or eight hundred yuan. There are also seven drivers on the night shift, and the remaining three vehicles have not yet recruited night drivers. Yang Qianxun called Yang Haoran and sent him the job posting she had edited, asking him to help post the job posting on the talent websites of 58.com, Xining and Delingha.

At one o'clock in the evening, Yang Qianxun's door was knocked, she immediately got up and opened the door, and a driver said: "Mr. Yang, I need a quick connector, and the trachea on the car is ruptured." Yang Qianxun opened the cabinet, found out several models of quick connectors, and asked him to see which model he needed, and the driver looked at and took away two No. 5 and two No. 7. Yang Qianxun closed the door and went back to sleep. At more than three o'clock, Li Hao knocked on the door again, "Qianxun, open the door quickly!" ”

Yang Qianxun opened the door, and Li Hao rushed in and said, "Don't you still have a flashlight here?" Give it to me. ”

"What's wrong?" Yang Qianxun asked him.

"When the No. 3 car dumped the slag, the soil of the slag pile was too loose, the car fell to the bottom, and the driver was still on it. Hearing Li Hao say this, Yang Qianxun's heart hung up, and he hurriedly turned over the flashlight and handed it to Li Hao, and instructed him, "You should be careful too." ”

"Okay, you can rest." Li Hao hurriedly walked out and started the Hyundai car parked at the door of Yang Qianxun. Liu Zhiyang and two other drivers in the car seemed to have gone to the rescue together.

They left, Yang Qianxun no longer sleepy, worried about the rescue situation at the construction site, and didn't know if the driver was in danger, he finally couldn't sit still in the room, put on a down jacket, walked out with another flashlight, walked to the slope and looked far away, except for the light of the electric lamp held on the wooden pole, he couldn't see anything in the distance, he didn't know where they were rescued, thinking that he couldn't help in the past, Yang Qianxun walked back to the room disappointed, poked the fire in the stove, sat on the folding chair and waited quietly for Li Hao and them to come back.

After more than forty minutes, the Hyundai car finally stopped at the door again, Li Hao got out of the car, and said to several other people: "Come in and warm up?" ”

Several people said that they couldn't go in, and when they went back to sleep, Li Hao said again: "Comfort Xiao Guo, he may be frightened." ”

Liu Zhiyang took Xiao Guo's arm and said as he walked: "Okay, don't worry, let's go first." ”

Li Hao walked into the room, put down the flashlight and gloves, his face was red from the cold, under the light of the electric lamp, it was a little bright, and a layer of dust accumulated on both sides of his nose, Yang Qianxun walked to him, took the coat he took off, put it on the back of the chair on the side, and took out the washbasin, poured a lot of hot water from the kettle above the stove, and asked Li Hao to wash his face and hair.

Li Hao sat down after washing, and Yang Qianxun asked him, "Rescued?" ”

"Captain Yang found two very thick ropes for trailers, hung them on the two cars, and pulled them up, which changed the color of Xiao Guo's frightened face, and after getting off the car, I didn't know whether it was cold or scared, I was shivering!"

"Where's the car?"

"He can't do it anymore, the car is fine, it's already parked in the parking lot." Li Hao said.

Yang Qianxun said: "Don't sit still, it's dawn when you sit again, and you have to supervise them to work early tomorrow morning." Don't go back, just sleep here, right? ”

Li Hao stood up and said, "Okay", Yang Qianxun slept in the small bed, Li Hao was outside, took off his clothes, and pulled Yang Qianxun's head into his chest. After a long time, he still couldn't sleep, Li Hao sat up again: "I'd better go back, this bed is too small, two people are crowded, and they can't sleep well." ”

Yang Qianxun also recognized this problem, so he had to say: "Then you can go back and sleep again, don't forget to adjust Xiao Guo's shift to daytime first." Li Hao got up from the bed, put on her clothes, helped Yang Qianxun look at her stove again, opened the door and went out.
