Chapter 73: Comparing Hearts to Hearts (2)

finally got the first transportation fee to the mine, which was better than Yang Qianxun imagined, more than 70,000 yuan, but the driver's salary, plus the resignation has been settled, is more than 40,000 yuan. "It will take more than a month to get the money next time, and the money is simply not enough to cover this month's expenses!" Yang Qianxun looked at the money on the table and said to Li Hao and Liu Zhiyang with annoyance.

Li Hao said: "It's really not enough, when the time comes, I will go to the mine to advance the support point." ”

"It's too miserable, I've worked hard for a long time, and I can't make ends meet!" Liu Zhiyang said. A few days later, I heard Li Hao say that Liu Zhiyang was sick. Li Hao went to the parking lot with the drivers to work as a supervisor before going to work, and Yang Qianxun went to Liu Zhiyang's dormitory in the backyard to see him. Yang Qianxun called him at the door: "Xiao Liu, how are you?" Is it better? I've got cold medicine there, can I get you some? ”

Liu Zhiyang still nestled his head in the quilt and said, "I am dizzy and my head hurts." ”

"I also have medicine for headaches, I'll bring it to you." After Yang Qianxun finished speaking, he went back to his room, took cold medicine, headache medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine, and returned to the backyard to give Liu Zhiyang. A few days have passed, Liu Zhiyang has not gone to work, every time Yang Qianxun went to see him, he said that he had a headache and dizziness, and asked him to go to Dachaidan or Delingha to see a doctor, but he said that he would not go. After four or five days passed, after the driver who sent the night shift to work one day, Li Hao returned to Yang Qianxun's room to discuss Xiao Liu's matter: "It seems that he is not only sick, he should not want to do it." Let's let him go home, right? Li Hao asked Yang Qianxun's opinion.

"He's gone, just the two of us, and he couldn't be busier!" Yang Qianxun is in a hurry.

"I observed a few drivers and found that Lao Du is good, he is older, and he is also thick, so I just let him be the captain of the team, and the salary will be increased by 1,000 yuan, so that when we are not there, we can also help us watch the point, do you think it's okay?" Li Hao said his proposal. Yang Qianxun thought for a while and said, "It's only like this!" ”

Hearing Yang Qianxun's agreement, Li Hao said again: "I have already talked to Lao Du, and before I go to work tomorrow morning, I will hold a meeting to announce his captain's position." As for Xiao Liu, just send him away tomorrow and let him go home, he stays here like this, it's okay, it's okay, if something happens, it's also troublesome, of course, it's not good to be here, what do the drivers look like. ”

Yang Qianxun nodded, "You go over and talk to him, what does he mean?" ”

Li Hao went to find Liu Zhiyang and came back half an hour later. "He just wanted to leave, and said that he had wasted a year and didn't make any money, maybe he saw that we didn't make any money in the first ten days, and he was disappointed, and it was hard to say, so he just relied on it."

"How much money is right for him?"

"I have already told him that he also knows that we don't have any money now, so first give him 5,000 yuan and send him to Delingha to take the train back to Xining, he will go back to the house in Xining to get his things, and then go home. Let's go together tomorrow afternoon, buy some accessories, buy some meat, buy oil, and buy some other things. You haven't taken a shower in a long time, so go out and take a shower. Li Hao said.

"I'm worried that we're both gone, and there's no one to deal with the car accident." Yang Qianxun was worried about the five cars running on the construction site.

"The day after tomorrow, we brought back the spare parts, and all the cars could be repaired, so that there would not be enough drivers." Li Hao thought in embarrassment: "It's not okay to recruit more drivers, these cars are too easy to break, maybe just a few days after they were repaired, they will be there again." ”

Yang Qianxun didn't know what to say, she felt that from the time she received this batch of cars, it was simply the beginning of a nightmare, and she knew that it was a nightmare, but she couldn't wake up, and she was in a painful struggle and couldn't extricate herself.

In the afternoon of the next day, after arranging things on the construction site, Li Hao and Yang Qianxun took Liu Zhiyang to Delingha. When he arrived at Delingha Railway Station, Li Hao helped Liu Zhiyang take his luggage and walked directly into the ticket hall, Yang Qianxun saw a department store next to him, and he walked in to buy some food for Liu Zhiyang on the way, and carried it to the ticket hall to find them, walked to the ticket hall, and saw the two standing stupidly outside the ticket buying line, and asked them: "Have you bought a ticket?" What time is it? ”

Li Hao said: "I haven't bought it yet." Yang Qianxun looked at Liu Zhiyang suspiciously and said, "Why don't you go and buy a ticket?" ”

Liu Zhiyang said as if he suddenly realized: "Oh, okay, I'll buy it." After speaking, he walked over to line up, and Yang Qianxun whispered to Li Hao: "He is waiting for you to buy a ticket for him, why don't you buy it?" ”

Li Hao said innocently: "I didn't have money in my pocket, I wrapped it in the car." I said, what is he doing here? ”

"Forget it, let him go well, no matter what he does, he won't be satisfied if he doesn't make money." Yang Qianxun said.

Coming out of the train station, the two found a cheaper hotel to stay, Yang Qianxun said: "This time is different from the past, let's save if we can, we just want to find a place to take a bath." ”

After the room was opened, it was less than six o'clock, so I went to the Jiefang after-sales service station first, took some accessories, and then gave the old accessories to the service station staff. The two drove back to the hotel, took turns to take a shower and sat on the bed, Yang Qianxun felt comfortable that he hadn't had for a long time, "I haven't been out of the mining area for more than ten days, and it's still comfortable outside!" Living in a coal mine, it's this sanitation problem that makes me unbearable! Why don't they build a bathhouse on the coal mine? Yang Qianxun grabbed Li Hao's hand, took his arm to the back of his head, used his arm as a pillow, and the two of them lay on the bed, quietly enjoying a short leisure time.

At more than 11 o'clock in the evening, I received a call from the captain of the team, Lao Du, and another car was suspended, the reason was that according to the drivers' analysis, it was a problem with the transmission shaft, and asked Li Hao to go to the service station to see if there were any accessories, and take them back and replace them. Li Hao put down the phone, this phone call broke the peace in the hearts of the two, Yang Qianxun said sadly: "I will repay the vehicle loan for one and a half months next month, according to the current car situation, I feel that it is difficult to do it!" Yuanda called me two days ago, and several cars in Tianjun have not paid the car loan, it seems that we are going to follow in their footsteps! What to do? As he spoke, he stuck his head in Li Hao's arms and rubbed it around, messing up his hair. Li Hao gently pressed her head and comforted her: "Baby, it will be fine, don't think about those who are unhappy, come, lie down, and watch TV." ”

Yang Qianxun said angrily: "What do you see, it's past eleven o'clock, and I slept." With that, he turned his head to the other side and stopped talking. Li Hao stroked her back and didn't speak.

The next day, I went to the liberation service station again, fortunately, there were new transmission shaft accessories, and the staff of the after-sales service station said that they would take the old parts back next time, and then go through the procedures and load the new transmission shaft into the car. Just as they were about to drive away, they received a call from Lao Du again, this time the headlights of a car, which were smashed by an excavator, and asked them to bring back a new one. Li Hao returned to the service station, which had no headlights, and suggested that they go to the parts market to buy them.

Li Hao and Yang Qianxun drove the car, went to the auto parts market, bought four pairs of headlights, and bought many other necessary accessories and oils. I drove to the vegetable market again, bought meat and vegetables, it was already past 11 o'clock in the morning, the two of them bought some bread and water casually, and then returned to Xiaocoal Mountain. Yang Qianxun took a handful of receipts, calculated it and said: "This time it cost more than 3,000, and more than 20,000 yuan, it seems that I want to say hello to the mine when I go back, and when necessary, I really have to borrow money." ”

The next day, all the accessories were replaced, and all the cars could be driven, but there were only thirteen drivers, Li Hao decided to try to arrange it during the day, after all, the safety factor was a little smaller at night, so all ten cars were out of the car during the day, and three cars were out at night. So calmly spent two days, another car broke down, repaired, the days are in such a torment passed, and had said to go to the mine to change the vehicle route for them after-sales service personnel never went to the mine again, every time they called them, they said they would go, delayed again and again, to January 2012, the 17th is the day of the mine holiday, Li Hao once went to Delingha to buy things back, said to Yang Qianxun: "A friend in Xining introduced another coal mine, in the Huatugou on the other side of the cliff, The mining area is 120 kilometers away from Huatugou Town, and it was opened by a Fujian boss. Shall we go and see it in the next two days? ”

Yang Qianxun said: "I'd better not go, you look at the current situation in this mine, the two of us can't leave at the same time, you find a driver to accompany you to take a look." ”

The next morning, Li Hao took Xiao Guo and went to Huatugou together. Three days later, he returned to Xiaocoal Mountain and told Yang Qianxun about the mine he had seen. "The mine is on the border of Xinjiang, and there are more than 120 kilometers from Huatugou, of which more than 80 kilometers are dirt roads, and there are some dump trucks on the mine, which belong to the Hui people, and there are also Han people, not much. I also went up the mountain to see it, and they said that it was much better to pull coal and slag down from the mountain, up the mountain with empty carts, and down the mountain with heavy trucks than from the ditch here. It's just that the altitude of the mountain is a bit high, more than 5,400 meters. They also live in color steel houses, and the Hui people live in military tents. ”

"You know what you know, can you do it?" Yang Qianxun listened to him introduce the situation in the mine, but never heard his conclusion.

"I think it's okay, why don't we move it again and go there?"

"But we still have more than 10 days of wages to settle." Yang Qianxun reminded him.

Li Hao thought for a while and said, "In this way, let's go to Delingha to find Mr. Li in the mine and lend the money." Then take advantage of the holiday in the mine, drive the car away, park at the Huatugou mine, and go there directly next year. ”

"He hasn't replied to the proposal we gave to Mr. Li last time, maybe something will change here next year?" Yang Qianxun still doesn't want to move, first she doesn't know the situation on the mine, will it be as good as the small coal mountain, and then it is not easy to move again, from the small coal mountain to Huatugou is 800 kilometers, and I don't know if I can get there with these dump trucks for a whole day, but when I get to Huatugou, I have to walk another day to get to the mine, it's terrifying to think about.

Li Hao said: "It is very difficult to change here, and Li always wants to change, and others can't change if they don't want to change, don't put any more hope, I mean to move away, otherwise, our cars will be even worse here next year." ”

"Just move, anyway, I don't know how many times I will move in my life!" Yang Qianxun also does not see the hope of continuing to stay in Xiaocoal Mountain, although he does not know if the next mine will bring them good luck, but this place has been seen at present, and there is no possibility of a better future.
