Zhao Honghong, the foreman of the contractor, took a cigarette in his mouth, entered the house, sat on the edge of the kang with his butt, and Xiao Ji, who was watching a cartoon, called Zhao Hongli very obediently to the third brother.

"The older Xiao Ji gets, the more out he becomes!" Zhao Hong rubbed Xiao Ji's hair with his hand and said with a smile, when he saw Zhao Yunfei's TV, he was surprised: "Ah, such a big TV, when did you buy it?" ”

"A few days ago," Zhao Yunfei replied vaguely, "Third brother, is there a job?" Zhao Yunfei knew that the foreman was a busy man, and he would never go to his house in the middle of the night if he had nothing to do.

"There is work, a family in the town has built a fence, and the construction will start tomorrow, can you go?" Zhao Honghong rubbed the cigarette ash on the edge of the kang and said.

"I can go!" Zhao Yunfei replied without hesitation.

There was no room for consideration -- he was so short of money that he could not earn enough to pay Xiaoji's tuition even if he was tired to death by going to the brickyard on Saturdays and Sundays to load trucks, and he could earn fifty yuan a day by working as a small worker, and if he could work for three days, he would earn one hundred and fifteen, and it was worth skipping two days to study.

"Brother, I didn't say you," Zhao Hongli put on a posture of a leader as soon as he opened his mouth, "The situation in your family, your school is a matter of two things, you brothers and sisters have to eat, don't you?" Although the villagers can help as much as possible, but who has the difficulties of whose family, it is impossible to help every day, right? ”

As a contractor, first of all, we must understand the sophistication of human feelings, and be good at dealing with all kinds of disputes, because there are many things that make construction troubles in the countryside, all kinds of feng shui, all kinds of customs, what your house can't be higher than mine, what your window can't face my door...... Similar to these disputes often need to be mediated by the contractor, and the professional knowledge of the contractor must also be comprehensive, bricklayers, carpenters, rebar workers, electricians, plumbing, quality inspection, etc., these technical things must be understood, so as to suppress the people under them.

The profession of the contractor is actually very comparable to the "white bone essence" in the big city, isn't the "white bone essence" called white-collar workers, backbones, and elites? "Contractor foreman" can also be understood as contracting, technology, leadership, in fact, is the comprehensive quality and management ability of the rural white-collar workers, of course, the income is also high, the bricklayer can earn 80 yuan a day, the contractor earns 120 yuan a day, if you do not calculate according to the daily work, the whole project is contracted, the income will be more, which is already very remarkable in remote rural areas.

Although Zhao Yunfei did not agree with the view that the contractor "is not good at learning", he could not refute him face-to-face, because the authority of the contractor was very great, and what he said was always correct for both big and small workers, so Zhao Yunfei responded: "What you said is that I am also thinking about it." ”

"Don't care what you say, we are all the same ancestors and the same ancestry, a melon on a vine, why do you have to think about it for your brothers and sisters, right? So, tomorrow the owner of the town will start the construction of the wall, I plan to let you be a big apprentice, and you don't need to be a special apprentice, when the time comes, I will let the old bricklayer take you, young people learn things quickly, it won't take a few days to get started, do you think this will be successful? ”

Zhao Honghong's plan, on the one hand, is indeed for Zhao Yunfei's sake, and on the other hand, he actually plans more for himself - he is now short of people under his hands, to be precise, there is a shortage of big jobs!

The work of a bricklayer can be described in three words - dirty, tired, and dirty.

Let's talk about dirty first, the bricklayer has to deal with bricks and cement, even if the person is clean and neat, he will rub some cement ideas on his body after a day's work, and the wind, sun, and rain outside all year round make him look like an African.

Tired, although the big work is easier than the small work, but this day bending down to take bricks, digging mortar more than a thousand times, if not a day worker but a contract work, the contractor keeps an eye on it, this set of operations will have to do more than 2,000 times, than the small worker is not easy to go anywhere.

Soil, bricklayer is an ancient profession, the old generation is to use loess mud to build walls, now although progress, cement mortar has replaced the loess mud, but for the bricklayer, the essence has not changed much, is still the industry that is not respected, is still those who can never do the end of the boring manual labor, and foreign, bullish, beautiful, fashionable these terms are not touched.

Bricklayer, the meaning of invisibility is - no culture!

Based on the above reasons, many young people in rural areas are not willing to choose the profession of bricklayer, but choose to work in factories, so that there will be more opportunities for development and it will be easier to make friends of the opposite sex.

The consequence of this is that there are fewer and fewer bricklayers, and those who are still fighting on the bricklayers' front are basically some old bricklayers who are older, and the grim situation of having no successors has been clearly placed in front of all the contractors.

In addition, there is another reason that the wages of bricklayers in the countryside are too low, and many bricklayers with good skills and good health have gone to the big cities, and their income in the big cities is comparable to that of urban white-collar workers -- this is also an important reason for the decrease in the number of bricklayers in the countryside.

Being a bricklayer apprentice is of course a good thing for Zhao Yunfei.

He has no other better choice now, although deep down he longs to be able to do a decent job and be looked up to by others, but God Almighty always seems to like to look at people's questions, and for the poor, it is often a multiple-choice question!

Living at the bottom of society, the resources that can be used are pitiful, as if an invisible hand is firmly grasping the throat of fate, and wanting to take a breath has become a luxury.

However, judging from Zhao Yunfei's current situation, this is indeed a big progress, if he can really become a big worker, it means that the net income of 80 yuan a day is not a little more than the money earned by loading cars in the brick factory, and it is dozens more than being a small worker, and it is not so tiring and tiring, if it can really be like that, the goal of "saving 10,000 yuan in two years" set by himself should be very easy to achieve, and maybe it can be overachieved.

Zhao Yunfei was full of promises for Zhao Dividend's arrangement, and also said many words of gratitude.

Tomorrow is Friday, and he's going to skip school for a day.

When he got up at five o'clock in the morning, Zhao Yunfei first did the exercise program, and he always exercised before breakfast, because he found that exercising after eating was not as effective as exercising before eating.

This phenomenon may be due to the ancient genes of human beings, just like the lion on the African savannah, after eating enough, it always likes to lie lazily, even if a fat baby bison appears in front of it, it will not get up to catch up.

Now, Zhao Yunfei's exercise is as follows:

Push-ups – take a deep breath and do 90 reps!

Lean forward and fall - 5 times!

Climb the tree with bare hands - 1 time to the top of the tree!

This is the level that Zhao Yunfei has achieved in his exercise at present, and the entire exercise process does not take more than fifteen minutes.

Through this fifteen-minute exercise every morning, his physical fitness is always at its peak.
