At the end of April, Gao Shan contracted a large project, and Jianming moved directly to the construction site with his workers, and the busy work began immediately.

It was a ventilation duct project for a new pharmaceutical factory, and Jianming's work was converted from wrought iron to iron sheet processing. At that time, labor protection was just an empty word, and Gao Shan did not prepare gloves for workers, which were not sharp iron sheets, but became a sharp weapon to hurt people.

Especially in the rolling process, the narrow iron sheet needs to be pressed by the rolling machine, this kind of work is very dangerous, and the old workers will not do it, because they do not wear gloves, and they are often scratched by the iron sheet. Someone has to do it, and Jianming, as the only new worker, is naturally responsible for him.

Not long after Jian Ming walked out of the campus, his hand holding the pen was still very delicate, and he was inexperienced in this kind of work, so the bloodshed was happening every second. Bloody, he didn't have a chance to rest, because this was a construction site for cooking, and if he didn't work, he wouldn't even know how to solve the problem of eating.

Due to the tight construction period, Jianming and others have to work at five or six o'clock every day, and can only rest at ** o'clock every night, two meals a day, breakfast at 9 o'clock, boiled noodles in white water, lunch at 15 o'clock, and two steamed buns with a spoonful of vegetables. If you work overtime, the proprietress will cook another pot of noodles at 21 o'clock, let the workers finish eating, and continue to work for 2-3 hours, and dinner is the compensation for overtime.

At 18 o'clock on May 1, the proprietress was compassionate: "Today is May Day, we finish work early, and everyone can borrow 5 yuan to go to the nearby bathhouse to wash." You see that one by one, you have all become black Africans, and if you don't take a bath, you can't recognize who is who? ”

Borrowing, yes, borrowing, because the wages of workers are settled on an annual basis, and ordinary workers have no money at all, and they rely on the boss for food and housing.

"Oh, what can you do with 5 bucks? Eldest sister, I want to buy a pair of socks, so I can borrow 10 yuan per person. ”

Master Fu Sun Liang is Gao Shan's neighbor and the pillar of the factory, and what he said is very effective.

The proprietress laughed: "Okay, borrow 10 yuan per person, but don't spend money indiscriminately, otherwise how will you pay the bill to your family during the Spring Festival?" ”

After each person withdrew ten yuan, the workers went outside together, and they did not take a shower for seven or eight days, and they were indeed very dirty.

"Xiaoming, let's go take a bath first, and after taking a shower, let's call home."

"Well, let's go now, I've been really tired lately!"

Jian Ming's hands were full of scars, and when they touched the water, it hurt very much, and he often couldn't sleep at night because of the pain, so he felt very tired.

"Oh, Xiaoming, you can't brush your teeth when you do this kind of work like ours, you see you're all black, but your teeth are very white, it's scary."

"Haha, everyone is each other, and you are not in vain."

In the face of Wu Hao's humor, Jian Ming smiled, and after seven or eight days of depression, he had to be happy today.

The two went to a village five miles away to take a bath, and at that time the shower was 3 yuan per person, which was really not cheap compared to their salary. Because of this, they lie in the bathhouse, desperately washing, trying to wash enough.

The long-term pain had numbed Jianming, and he stood quietly under the sprinkler, letting the water pour over the wound, reminding himself that money was really full of blood and sweat.

Yes, for Jianming, every penny he earns is full of blood and sweat, and he used to hear people talk about hard-earned money, but only at this time did he understand the true meaning of hard-earned money.

"Xiaoming, what's wrong with you, there's soap here, don't you use it?"

"No, I'll just wipe it, no matter how clean it is, it will be dirty tomorrow, so don't be so troublesome."

Jian Ming also wanted to wash it clean, but unfortunately his hands hurt too badly and he couldn't get soap at all. He is also a stubborn person, and he doesn't want others to know that he is injured, so he can only excuse himself.

"Haha, a clean night is a night, you don't have to use it yourself, I haven't taken a bath for so long, my body is itchy, just use soap to disinfect."

Jian Ming was very envious of Wu Hao, he also wanted to disinfect, but unfortunately his hands could not complete this arduous task at all, he could only pray that the water would flow and take away the filth of his body.

Nearly an hour later, the two walked out of the bathhouse and stepped onto the night market in a strange village.

"Hey, there are gloves sellers, Haozi wait for me, I want to buy a few pairs of gloves."

"Xiaoming, what are you buying gloves for? People in the factory don't buy it, and if you buy it, it's easy for someone else to steal it. ”

"Haozi, I hurt my hands, I can't do it without gloves, you just let it go, I'll carry it with you."

Jian Ming entered the labor insurance shop without hesitation, and replaced all the money on his body with gloves, and the torture of many days of pain had made him suffer.

"Haozi, you call, I want to call today, I'll wait for you on the side."

"Xiaoming, you don't have any money, do you? Don't worry, I still have a lot of them here, so you can rest assured! ”

"I really don't want to fight today, you defeat it yourself, I'll wait for you outside."

Jianming really didn't want to call, because the pain of his part-time job had tormented him, and he was worried that he would cry when he called, which would make his parents worry.

"Xiaoming, I still have a lot of money, are you hungry? Let's go get some food, it's still early anyway. ”

"Haozi, I'm not hungry, I just want to sleep now, can you buy something and go back to eat?"

"Forget it, I won't eat it anymore, let's go back!"

Wu Hao saw that his old classmate was tired, and he was embarrassed to delay for too long, besides, he rarely ate out, and he didn't know what to eat.

With the sword sound of the glove, he finally got rid of the bad luck of hurting his hands at work, and in the days to come, his hands were never injured again.

When the old scars are gradually healed and the hemming work is nearing the end, Jianming's new job is to connect the pipes, that is, to assemble the ventilation pipes in the air, which is a very easy job, but for him who has a fear of heights, the work is quite difficult.

Swinging in the air every day, connecting the flange with bolts, the workload is not large, but Jianming feels very hard, especially when he sleeps at night, he always feels that he is on the edge of the cliff, and he does not dare to move a little.

This is the sequelae of fear of heights, and it is not difficult for people with strong psychological quality to overcome it, but for Jian Ming, who is still immature in mind, it is a kind of pain and torture.

Jianming's biggest advantage is ruthless, he is very ruthless to himself, the more he is afraid of heights, the higher he climbs, and there are always sequelae of daytime work, which creates countless nightmares at night.

More than ten days passed, and the connection work was finally over, and the big workers went to another construction site first, and the finishing work was completed by Jianming himself.

The so-called finishing is to check the riveting of the ventilation pipe, which requires Jianming to climb into the inside of the ventilation pipe, inch by inch inspection, if there is a riveting position that is not in place, he must re-rivet.

This job is disdainful of others, but Jianming does it very energetically, although he is a little depressed inside, but the narrow ventilation pipe can bring him a sense of security, so that he is no longer tormented by the sequelae of fear of heights.

The happy time was short-lived, and after Jianming checked all the ventilation pipes, Takayama did not take him to the new construction site immediately, but let him stay in the pharmaceutical factory and work as a helper.

The reason Gao Shan did this was that the new construction site was still in the preparation stage and he didn't need too many people, so he rented Jianming to another group of people for thirty yuan a day.

Jianming's new job is to apprentice Master Ma of Caigangfang, a southerner, in his fifties this year, with a very good temper.

"Xiaoming, why is your salary so low? I'm paying your boss thirty a day, and he won't even earn your money, right? ”

Although Jianming doesn't like to talk, he has been smart since he was a child and is very good at talking.

"Master Ma, this is also a helpless thing, I just dropped out of school, I have no skills, and I can't earn a high salary at all."

Master Ma likes Jianming very much, because Jianming works very hard and learns things quickly, and the two work together very happily.

"Xiaoming, why don't you come and apprentice with me, give you a thousand a month, and after three months of study, how about I give you a salary increase?"

"This ......"

Jian Ming's heart was pounding, although he often ran around with Master Ma's apprentice, but the high salary was very tempting and confusing to him.

"Old Ma, you are not authentic, Xiao Ming is a worker in our factory, you can't dig the corner. Xiaoming, you go back and clean up, let's go to the new construction site tonight. ”

The appearance of Gao Shan completely shattered Jianming's dream of high salary, and he drove Jianming to the new construction site that night, and he had nothing to say on the way.

"Xiaoming, don't listen to Lao Ma's nonsense, where is the salary so high, you work hard, I will give you another 50 yuan a month, but don't tell others!"

Gao Shan's words made Jian Ming wake up secretly, he was originally pure and didn't know that people's hearts were sinister, but today, Gao Shan's performance was like a hypocrite in the book, making him tired of everything in the iron factory.

"Got it, Brother Gao, I'll do it well, don't worry!"

After a few perfunctory words, Jian Ming lost interest in continuing the conversation, and he sat alone in the back of the car, closing his eyes and thinking about his future plans.

The Lao Ma incident made Jianming realize the importance of mobile phones, if he had a mobile phone, today's result would not be like this, so he decided to work for a few more months, so he borrowed some money to buy a second-hand mobile phone.

Jianming's closed eyes and recuperated his mind, successfully stifling Gao Shan's talking, Gao Shan saw that there was no one to talk to, so he could only concentrate on driving, eager to drive Santana into a BMW.

Takayama's second project of the year is to install protective netting for a golf course. This kind of project is purely hard work, as long as it is leveled, it is to dig pits, pour embedded parts, and then carry out pipe rust prevention, welding poles, cross bars, and finally hanging nets.

When Jianming arrived, the preliminary technical work had been completed, so the next day he joined the wave of digging the pit with his co-workers.

City B is a historical capital, and Gower Stadium occupies an ancient cemetery, so digging a pit is very exciting. The original labor-intensive work, because of the digging of bones from time to time, made the workers full of wealth, and they did not feel tired at all.

"There are only a dozen pits left, don't we really have the luck to get rich? Grandma's, I've been digging for more than ten days, except for a pile of bone shelves, I haven't even dug up a coffin. ”
