Chapter Ninety-Three: Altitude Sickness
Chapter 93 Altitude Sickness
Zhao Jian asked, "Where do you live?" ”
"You go to the kitchen, and you pass by the door of my room."
Zhao Jian said: "Okay, I'll get it after I'm done." ”
It was okay at night, and he didn't work the night shift, Li Hao called Zhao Jian to their room and divided the drivers into two shifts, two drivers per car, divided into day shift and night shift, and officially implemented it from the next day. After dividing the shifts, he took out the vehicle management and performance appraisal regulations and showed them to Zhao Jian, who read them carefully and said: "I think it's okay, but if the car is parked for a long time and can't be repaired, it will be very troublesome, and the driver will be idle." ”
Yang Qianxun said: "It's really hard to repair for a long time, you can arrange other jobs for them, such as accompanying Mr. Li down the mountain to shop, helping repairmen to work, etc., anyway, you have to find a job for them to do, and you can only get a monthly salary every month." ”
Zhao Jian said: "I'll take it and ask them to sign it, right?" Li Hao stood up and said, "I'm afraid that you will say it alone, and they won't listen, so I'll go with you." The two of them walked out the door together and went to the back house to look for the drivers.
Yang Qianxun and the others left, found the mops, drawers and rags that they had bought back a long time ago, cleaned them in the room, sweating profusely, more than an hour passed, and finally finished cleaning, got all the bedding ready, fell on the bed with a long sigh of relief, and took out his mobile phone to read the online novels he had downloaded before. After watching for more than an hour, Li Hao returned to the dormitory. Yang Qianxun heard someone open the door of the outer room, and immediately walked out of the inner room, saw Li Hao walking into the room, and asked him, "Why is it so long?" ”
Li Hao said: "There are a lot of problems with these people, and a few people are still unwilling to sign, so they grind and grind, and finally sign them all, and they chatted with them for a while before coming back." ”
Yang Qianxun said: "If we go down the mountain again, we have to buy a mobile card, and we can always make phone calls in the mine." ”
Li Hao said: "Okay, I'll buy it for you next time." Now let's go to bed, tomorrow we go to work at eight o'clock, eat at half past seven, we have to get up early and send them to work. ”
Yang Qianxun saw that Li Hao was about to go to bed, grabbed him and said, "You have been dirty all day now, why do you have to wash your face and feet?" ”
Li Hao said: "There is no hot water, it is too cold, and I don't want to wash it." ”
Yang Qianxun pointed to the color steel room opposite, "There is a washroom opposite, there is hot water, go quickly." As he spoke, he put the towels, toothbrush case, and soap into the basin and handed them to Li Hao. Li Hao reluctantly took the basin and walked to the opposite side.
Three minutes passed, and Li Hao ran back and said, "I put hot water for an hour a day, and there is no hot water for a long time." ”
Yang Qianxun didn't ask him anymore, so he had to say: "Then go to sleep, and when you put hot water tomorrow, I'll take a pot and put it for you." ”
At seven o'clock the next morning, Yang Qianxun got up on time, Li Hao was still asleep outside, Yang Qianxun first walked to the opposite side to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then brought back a basin of water for Li Hao to use, put down the basin and felt that it was still not good, and he still had to brush his teeth, and took a big bucket and carried half a bucket of water back to the room, Li Hao waited for her to finish her busy work, before she got up and slowly brushed her teeth and washed her face, Yang Qianxun went to the kitchen with the rice bowl of two people, the breakfast in the kitchen was not ready, the four round dining tables were full of people, and many people were standing and waiting, Yang Qianxun took the bowl and returned to his room. After a few minutes, I saw someone go out with a bowl, and then I went into the kitchen again. Breakfast is noodles, the clear soup noodles are poured with a little seasoning that has been made a long time ago, everyone is in full swing, Yang Qianxun looked at the seasoning, he didn't like to eat it, so he put a lot of chili sauce, put all the seasoning in Li Hao's bowl, and returned to the room with two bowls.
After eating, Li Hao and Yang Qianxun went to the back, the drivers also finished eating, and the drivers who went to work on the morning shift had already started the car and wanted to heat it up for a few minutes before driving to the mine. Yang Qianxun said: "I want to go with them to see? ”
Li Hao said: "You don't want to go, I'll go." Li Hao got into the front car, and when he saw that the car he was sitting in turned the corner, Yang Qianxun got into the back dump truck and also went to the top of the mountain.
The dump truck bumped on the road, walked more than 100 meters, a narrow gravel road, on both sides of the road is a wide water surface, because the ice has not melted, the thick ice reflects a strong light under the reflection of the sun, the car drove over, Yang Qianxun felt that one side of the wheel had been pressed to the ice, and reminded the driver worriedly: "Master, master, the wheel on my side is not pressed on the road, the ice is pressed." ”
The driver smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid." As she spoke, the icy narrow road surface had passed, and it was not far ahead, a narrower bridge was in the middle of the road, Yang Qianxun felt that her heart was lifted, she rolled down the window glass on her side, stretched out her head to look at the wheels, and the driver said: "You don't have to be afraid, we have driven back and forth many times, and we can't fall down." ”
Finally passed, Yang Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this really requires superb driving skills, if it was his level, he would never dare to drive on such a road. The car turned a corner, passed by the side of the mountains, drove deep, the road in front of it was another scene, a deep and shallow mud puddle in front of the car, Yang Qianxun couldn't help but say: "This road surface is too bad, either ice or very narrow, now even the rotten quagmire is there, this rut is so deep, don't roll over if you can't press it?" ”
The driver drove the car with full attention and did not speak. After the muddy quagmire, the car pressed on the road, and there was high smoke and dust, through the dust, Yang Qianxun saw that on the steps above the road, there were yellow tents, and remembered that Li Hao once said that many Hui people who raise cars live here. They still have the advantage of living here, that is, they don't have to walk about four kilometers back and forth every day, which saves a lot of fuel costs. Turning past the tent, up a staircase, on the left hand side is a large pile of coal, which appears to have been pulled from the top of the hill to this place for storage. Yang Qianxun looked at the road ahead, their other four cars climbed the slope unhurriedly, and when they reached a sharp turn, a driver failed to turn in one direction, and then reversed the car backwards, and drove up again, and the car behind also had to drive in two directions before driving through the sharp turn, and the car climbed higher and higher, turning around, and finally reached the top of the mountain. All the dump trucks that went up the hill were waiting on one step, and on the next step, several excavators had already started, and according to the driver, the excavators needed to be heated for half an hour before they could start working. Yang Qianxun asked the driver strangely: "Why didn't they come up half an hour early?" This way, the dump truck driver does not have to wait. ”
The driver smiled and said, "I don't know, the excavator drivers are all part-time workers." "In other words, they won't be in a hurry.
In less than half an hour, Yang Qianxun felt that his head was dazed, a little dizzy and uncomfortable, and it was still very painful, thinking that this might be the so-called altitude sickness, right? I don't know how long I can hold on to more than 5,400 meters. Endured the pain like a pinprick on his head, looked at the driver next to him, the driver didn't seem to feel anything, so he asked him curiously: "Master, where is your home?" ”
The master said: "My family is from Gansu, and I have been working in the Qinghai mine for almost a year. ”
Yang Qianxun knew it, no wonder he didn't have altitude sickness.
At this time, the dump truck began to drive up the top steps one by one, lined up in front of the excavator to load the slag, pulled three or four times, Yang Qianxun's car finally met Li Hao's car on the steps of the slag stone, saw Yang Qianxun in the car, Li Hao opened the window and asked her: "Why did you come up?" Didn't you come? ”
Yang Qianxun said: "My head hurts! But it can still be persevered. ”
Li Hao said: "Wait a minute, you can go down with them when you see a car going down, it's very uncomfortable to come up for the first time, and it will be fine later." ”
The dump truck continued to work, and after one morning, the car that Yang Qianxun was sitting in pulled nine times, and if it could pull nine more times in the afternoon, it would be very good. The work stopped, and the drivers drove their cars down the hill, and Yang Qianxun noticed that there were still many dump trucks parked on the steps of the second layer of slag stones, and his five cars had already run down the mountain. So after lunch, the drivers started the car, and before they drove away, Yang Qianxun walked to the back, gathered all the drivers, and said to them: "Masters, from where we live to the top of the mountain, almost five kilometers away, all our cars drive four times a day, two yuan a kilometer, a car will waste 40 yuan of fuel money a day, and five cars are 200 yuan. You should have seen that many car drivers park their cars on the second step when they get off work and eat, and when we go down the mountain in the future, we can only drive two cars down at most, of course, if the car needs to be repaired and refueled, it is another matter, I hope you can comply with it in the future. ”
After listening to the lecture, the drivers got into the car one after another and drove away. Yang Qianxun thought about it carefully, and felt bad, if they left the car on the top of the mountain every day and no one was watching, would they check the car before going to work as they did when they were supervising it before? What about replacing the filter? When I returned to my residence and discussed this matter with Li Hao, Li Hao said: "In the afternoon, I came to tell them that when I got off the night shift, all the vehicles drove down, and I could check and replace the filter cartridge when I went to the morning shift." ”
At half past three, another car drove down, and the driver found Li Hao and Yang Qianxun and said that the car was broken. The two followed the driver to the car and asked him what was wrong, and the driver said, "I don't know, I just don't feel strong, I don't know if it's the oil in the mine or the engine." ”
When Li Hao heard him say this, he said: "All cars use diesel from the mine, and other cars are fine, which means that the oil is fine, and it seems that it is the problem of the engine." Yang Qianxun listened to the first two big ones, and now there are four of the nine cars, and if any more cars break down, two drivers should be idle.
Li Hao and Yang Qianxun returned to their rooms, and Yang Qianxun asked Li Hao anxiously, "When will the uncle and the repairman come?" I'm in a hurry. ”
Li Hao said: "Isn't it okay to change the throttle cable of the No. 7 car?" I'm going to ask a couple of drivers who work the night shift to see if they can change it, and if they can, even if one is repaired, the rest will be left to the repairman. After saying that, he turned back to the back to find the drivers who were on the night shift.
After a long time, Li Hao returned to the room and said to Yang Qianxun: "Car No. 7 is okay, I asked the night shift to drive car No. 7, it's not early now, don't go up to the driver who comes back, forget it." ”
"It's hard to have no repairman! The slightest glitch is to stop the car. Isn't there another car that just changes tires? We have new tires, and if one of the cars stops again, we let the two drivers change that tire, and we can continue to do it. Yang Qianxun planned and discussed with Li Hao.
At this time, a stranger knocked on the door, Yang Qianxun walked over and opened the door and asked him, "Is there something wrong?" ”
The driver said: "Master, we live in a tent in the middle of the mountain, I don't know if you have more transmission oil and antifreeze here, lend us two barrels, and next time we buy it and return it to you." ”
Yang Qianxun smiled and said: "I don't know who you are, you say to borrow it, where can I ask you for it, I can't help it if you don't pay it back!" ”
The driver said, "Why don't I buy yours?" ”
Yang Qianxun shook his head: "No, it's for my own use, not for sale." ”
When the driver heard Yang Qianxun say this, it seemed that there was, so he kept grinding with Yang Qianxun. In the end, Yang Qianxun was really annoyed, so he said: "You explain to me who you are, which tent you live in, and when you will return me, I will lend it to you." ”
The driver happily said his name, phone number, and said that he lived on the side of the road and counted the third tent in miles. Yang Qianxun took a piece of paper and wrote down what the driver said, and went into the room to take out a can of transmission oil and a bucket of antifreeze. The driver smiled happily, thanked him repeatedly, and walked away with his things. Closed the door, walked into the inner room, and said to Li Hao, who was sitting in the inner room: "Why don't we buy more of these things next time, sell them to the drivers in the mine, and make some money." ”
Li Hao said: "How much money can you make from this? If you make too much money, the relationship is stiff, but it's not good, they want to use it, they borrow it, and they're embarrassed to borrow it all the time, right? ”
