Chapter 94: Hard work as an overseer

Yang Qianxun said again: "When our repairman comes, if the dump truck in the mine comes to repair the car, we can let the repairman charge!" ”

Li Hao said: "You can charge for it, you can help them repair their cars, just as the repairmen earn extra money, we don't want it, in fact, the purpose is also to hope that they can earn more and be able to stay here, but there is a prerequisite, we must first repair and maintain our own cars." ”

After dinner, when he returned to his accommodation room, Li Hao said that Mr. Jiang told him that his father had already set out on the road with two repairmen, and that it would take at least two days and two nights to reach Huatugou smoothly after a distance of 3,000 kilometers.

Yang Qianxun calculated that if he was already on the road today, then he should be in Huatugou the day after tomorrow, so he asked Li Hao: "Do you want to go to Huatugou and take your uncle and them to the mine?" ”

Li Hao thought for a while and asked, "Is there anything else besides picking them up?" ”

Yang Qianxun lowered his head and meditated for a while, "There is still a car parked in the Huatugou repair shop, do you need to go and see it?" Besides, whether this power take-off is there now in Delingha and Yuanda after-sales, our phone is not working, and we have not contacted them. ”

Li Hao said: "Otherwise, I'll get in touch, by the way, just now Mr. Jiang also said that there are two new drivers who are still living in Mr. Geng in Huatugou, and there is no car to come up, they have been waiting for a day." ”

Yang Qianxun encouraged him and said: "In order to show respect for my uncle, I think you should go down and pick them up, by the way, take a look at our car, see what is still missing in the mine, count and buy it, and the most important thing is to ask if the power take-off has arrived, and if it arrives, let them send it through logistics as soon as possible." ”

Li Hao said: "It's okay, I'll go and call Delingha and Yuanda Manager Jia first, and ask them before deciding." After speaking, I went to Mr. Jiang's office to call.

Ten minutes later, he came back and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the Delingha service station is already there, and they said to send someone to come and take a look, and bring it to us by the way." ”

Yang Qianxun asked him, "Then when will you go down?" ”

The people at the service station will go to Huatugou tomorrow afternoon, and the four of them will arrive the day after tomorrow, so I will simply go down the mountain tomorrow morning, pick up my dad and come up together. I went to the back and asked Zhao Jian and a few drivers, what is missing in the car now? You can also look at the records of these things that we purchased, and list them for me if you need to add them. ”

Li Hao went to the back to find a few drivers, Yang Qianxun took out the record book, checked the stored things in the same way, and then made a list of the things that needed to be added, waiting for Li Hao to come back to him.

After breakfast the next day, Li Hao sent the driver who went to the mine on the morning shift and drove the pickup truck down the mine himself. Yang Qianxun couldn't know when he arrived at Huatugou, there was no phone, she could only guess Li Hao's possible itinerary and time to the location. At one o'clock in the evening, a driver knocked on Yang Qianxun's door, Yang Qianxun got up and walked outside to open the door, the driver stood at the door, from the thick military coat on his body and the dust on his face, it can be seen that he has just come down from the mine, it is a Qinghai driver Liu Wenping. Since this time came to her, something must have happened again. So he let him into the outer room and asked him, "What's the matter, master, how did you come down from the mountain?" ”

Master Liu pulled down the dirty gloves from the other with one hand, and said anxiously: "My car bucket was smashed by the excavator, at first I wanted to finish tonight first, so I pulled two more trips, but the mine supervisor saw it, saying that my car was leaking too much along the way, affecting the work of other cars, and forced me down." ”

When Yang Qianxun heard him say this, he asked him: "You park the car in the back, let's go and have a look together." ”

After speaking, he picked up the yellow military coat on Li Hao's bed, put on a pair of long leather boots, picked up a flashlight, and went with Liu Wenping to the door of a row of colored steel houses where the drivers lived behind. Liu Wenping took her to the parking place of a row of dump trucks, pointed to a dump truck on the side and said: "Look at the right back of the bucket, it has been smashed into a big hole, you have to use a sledgehammer to smash it in, and then weld it with a welding rod before you can use it." ”

Yang Qianxun looked carefully in the direction he pointed, and had to say: "You should rest first tonight, since this is the case, I have no choice, tomorrow morning after they go to work, please work with Master Yang who drives your car on the day shift, replace the broken tires of the car, and drive that car first, as for this car, our repairman will soon come with repair tools, and I will remind Mr. Li to buy welding rods and repair it as soon as possible." ”

Liu Wenping agreed, walked back to his dormitory, Yang Qianxun held a flashlight around the car body for two minutes, and finally had no choice but to return to his room, thinking about borrowing a phone from Mr. Jiang tomorrow to inform Li Hao to buy more welding rods to go to the mine.

The next morning, I sent the other four cars up the mountain to work, and supervised Yang Zhiwen and Liu Wenping to find the tools to replace the tires, and saw that they began to unload the tires on the car unhurriedly, and then walked to the front office and called Mr. Jiang. This is the first time Yang Qianxun walked into the office of the person in charge of the mine, the floor in the room is covered with leather, facing the door is a group of sofas, a coffee table, a water dispenser against the wall, there is a phone on the coffee table, there is no one in the office, Yang Qianxun saw that there is a small door next to it, thinking that this Jiang Zong may be inside, so he called a few times, but still no one came out, she walked to the door and stood for a few minutes, still no one, and waited impatiently, so she went back to the office to call Li Hao. The phone went through, and Li Hao's voice came, "Hello, who is it?" ”

Yang Qianxun hurriedly replied: "It's me, Yang Qianxun, are you in Huatugou?" ”

"Oh, Chihiro, I'm in Huatugou, car No. 1 has been repaired."

"Our No. 3 car was loading slag stone last night, and the big stone thrown by the excavator on the mine smashed the bucket, and now it has stopped, uncle, didn't they bring an electric welding machine, you can buy more welding rods, and it will definitely be used in the future."

Li Hao promised: "Okay, if you need anything else, you can call me, I have already bought two mobile phone cards, and as soon as Dad and them arrive tomorrow, I will take two new drivers and Dad to the mine." ”

"Okay, with me here, you can rest assured about the affairs of the mine." Yang Qianxun hung up the phone and returned to his room to clean up, more than half an hour later. She went to the back to see the two drivers who were working, and she couldn't see anyone in the yard from a distance, the tire that should have been replaced on the dump truck was still on the ground, and the new tire had not been replaced, but the two drivers were not. Yang Qianxun walked to the dormitory where they lived, opened the door and went in, the two drivers were sitting by the stove smoking cigarettes to keep warm, and when they saw Yang Qianxun coming in, they didn't speak. Yang Qianxun was a little angry, but he couldn't discipline them, so he had to say patiently: "Master Yang, Master Liu, this work hasn't been done yet, why are you resting again?" ”

Master Yang took a cigarette in his mouth, put his hand on the stove and baked it, and when he heard Yang Qianxun ask them, he said, "It's too cold outside, and the wind is strong, I can't hold it for a long time, so I can warm it up and do it again." ”

Yang Qianxun said: "You guys also rested for a while, right?" Let's get the job done first. ”

Liu Wenping also said: "Just smoke a cigarette and do it later." That indifferent look made Yang Qianxun helpless and extremely angry. The two drivers were still sitting in the dormitory, Yang Qianxun came out of their dormitory, stood outside the door for a while, and looked at the drivers of the other two dormitories, because they were on the night shift, the drivers were still sleeping, and went back to the dormitory where the two of them were and said: "Two masters, you also know that every minute you go to work, we will pay wages, and I feel that our wages are not worth it." ”

Only then did the two of them stand up again, slowly take the tools that were resting beside them, and walk out of the dormitory. They installed new tires, Yang Qianxun stood on the side and watched, and the two of them lazily rubbed for more than half an hour, and finally changed the tires. Yang Qianxun comforted himself that on this plateau, if they dry too fast, they should have altitude sickness, and it is not good, as long as they change the tires in one morning. Yang Qianxun looked at the time on his phone, and it took two and a half hours for the two of them to change a tire. After changing the tires, the tools were not left, the old tires were still in place, and the two ran back to the dormitory to smoke and keep warm.

Yang Qianxun walked up to the two of them and said to them, "Master Liu, Master Yang, do you know how much time it took you to change this tire?" I'll do the math for you, I started work at eight o'clock, it's now half past ten, and it took two and a half hours for two people combined, and for these two and a half hours, do you know how much we have to pay for you? Let's calculate the salary of 5,000 yuan per person, and stipulate that you will be given four days of rest a month, that is, 26 days of work, and you two or five hours, and we will pay 120 yuan in wages. Thirty to fifty dollars, which means that I have to pay two to four times more than the repair shop to get a tire, and you want us to lose money! ”

Liu Wenping smiled: "Mr. Yang, don't you have to calculate it so clearly, right?" ”

Yang Zhiwen also said: "On such a high mine, we are not specialized in repairing cars, how can we calculate it like this?" ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Where does our money come from? Isn't it just the freight from a car? You have delayed the time, you can't do the work, how do we make money, you don't need to calculate it so clearly, I don't want to, but how much freight is for each car, you can't be sloppy at all. You are not a professional car repairer, this is true, but what I need is a serious attitude from you, not this kind of careless, indifferent look, do you understand? ”

The two drivers didn't speak, Yang Qianxun looked at them and said: "Actually, we are not young, and no one wants to embarrass others, and I don't mean to embarrass you, I just want to ask the two of you to correct your attitude." Master Yang, today is your day shift, wait for you to drive the car up, it's eleven o'clock, and there is still an hour to get off work, simply don't go at noon, this hour's time, you go to the gas station to add oil first, and you don't have to waste time in the afternoon to queue up for refueling, what do you say Master Yang? ”

Yang Zhiwen threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go refuel now." But where is the key to this car? When he said this, Yang Qianxun also realized this problem, thought about it and said, "The car broke down before I got to the mine, the key should be in the hands of Captain Zhao, you go to his room and look for it on his bed?" ”

Yang Zhiwen walked to the next room, came out with the key for a while, and started the car. Yang Qianxun saw that there was nothing to do in the back, and returned to his room in the front office.
