White Hand has three good friends on Wenqiao Street, Chen Liang, Yang Qiuyun and Tong Liuzi.

The four of them were the same age, and when they were fifteen years old, they went their separate ways.

Chen Liang stayed on Wenqiao Street, and now he is in the hardware business, making a lot of money, and the doll has become an official object.

Yang Qiuyun followed his father Yang Binghui to make tofu, first in the county seat, then to Tianzhou City, and now in Wenzhou City. I heard that the tofu business is now very large, and I have hired six employees and bought a second-hand pickup truck for delivery.

Tong Liuzi's father, Tong Sanhe, was a carpenter, and Tong Liuzi inherited his father's business and learned to be a carpenter. But Tong Sanhe is self-taught, and he has no serious apprentice, so it is difficult for him to make a living in his hometown.

But Tong Sanhe has vision and ideas, and works as a carpenter in other people's engineering teams, and his income is no worse than that at home, and he can bring his son with him.

The father and son followed the engineering team and worked in the provincial capital for more than a year, and then went to Shanghai.

The current father and son of the Tong family have pulled out and worked alone, with more than a dozen migrant workers under them, and have become a small contract foreman.

In the past few years, everyone has done their own thing, and they are not bad.

It's just that there is not much contact between friends, there is no phone, and I can only write letters. But almost all of them are coarse, they don't know much, and they don't have the habit of writing letters.

Tong Liuzi did not go home for several Spring Festivals in a row, and his address in Shanghai was still left by his father Tong Sanhe when he returned home.

Riding a bicycle with white hands, he came to Changning District from Ponte 16.

Tong Liuzi rented a house, and General Tie guarded the door.

Without waiting for Bai Shou to find someone to inquire, someone called him behind his back, "Xiaobai, is it you?" ”

When he looked back with his white hand, it was Ge Yuhua, the mother of Tong Liuzi, who was still carrying a vegetable basket in her hand.

"Hello, auntie."

"Oh, Xiaobai is really you."

Ge Yuhua opened the door, let the white hand enter the room to sit, and poured him a glass of water.

"Auntie, you're also coming to Shanghai?"

Ge Yuhua said: "I followed them the year before last. Xiaobai, you don't know, everything is expensive in the city. A large group of men eat out, which is inconvenient and expensive. I'm working as a drinker here, so I can save a lot of money. ”

"Uncle Sanhe and Liuzi are they busy?"

"Busy, I have work every day, and sometimes I work overtime at night. digging wells, repairing canals, demolishing old houses, and paving new roads...... Anyway, if there is any work, I will take on it. ”

"It's good to have a job to do, and if you have a job, you have money to earn."

Ge Yuhua smiled: "It's not as good as you." Xiaobai, we've all heard that you've made a lot of money in the past few years. ”

"Huh...... Auntie, don't listen to their nonsense. By the way, where do my Uncle Sanhe and Liuzi work? ”

Ge Yuhua said the address.

He took out the city map with his white hand and looked for it on the map, "Auntie, you are busy first, and I will go to the construction site to find Liuzi." ”

"Okay, you go first." Ge Yuhua sent her white hand to the street entrance, "Xiaobai, you have to come back for dinner." ”

Urban-rural interface.

Tong Sanhe and Tong Liuzi, father and son, are leading more than a dozen migrant workers to dig a dark ditch.

Seeing the white hand, the Tong father and son were happy, stopped what they were doing, and climbed up from the ditch while greeting.

"Hand, when did you come to Shanghai?"

Tong Sanhe sat down on the ditch, took out a cigarette, gave one to the white hand, and one to himself and one to his son. Wu Jiu Literature

Bai Shou talked about his coming to Shanghai, "Uncle Sanhe, your team has expanded. ”

"It's not as good as you if it's expanded." Tong Sanhe said with a smile: "Hand, I heard that there are forty or fifty people in your suitcase factory, and your team is two and a half times that of mine." ”

"Hehe, I'm foolish. Uncle Sanhe, no matter what, you are also fighting in Shanghai, and I am still nesting in the village. ”

"Haha, you kid has learned to speak. Hand, you talk to Liuzi, I'll go over there and have a look. ”

After that, Tong Sanhe got up, patted the soil on his body and left.

When the adults are not there, the little brothers can talk casually.

Bai Hand smiled: "Boss Xiaotong, why do you dig the soil yourself?" ”

Tong Liuzi smiled bitterly: "My dad is the boss, and I am a migrant worker." My dad assigned me a task every day, and the migrant workers dug two square meters of soil a day, and I had to dig two and a half square meters of soil. Brother Hand, I'm not as good as a migrant worker. ”

"Hehe, I heard Ryoko say that you dress up like a dog every day, carrying a black bag, and taking business everywhere."

"You heard Liangzi say nonsense, dog, he also said that the old sow can go up the tree, do you believe it?"

Tong Sanhe is good at everything, but he manages his son strictly, like this since he was a child.

"Sixth son, I'll enlighten your dad later." patted Tong Liuzi's shoulder with his white hand and said.

"Really? Brother Hand, then I'll thank you first. ”

"But you'll have to meet my demands first."

Tong Liuzi smiled, "Brother Hand, you are still the same as before, and you will never suffer." Say, what do you want me to help you? ”

"Tell me how to be a contractor."

Tong Liuzi was surprised: "What? Brother Hand, what are you learning this for? ”

"To learn is to learn."

"You're not trying to steal my job, are you?"

"I'll go." Bai Shou smiled and said: "Sixth son, you know, I am a studious person, I just want to know, how do you make money in this industry." ”

"Give me a cigarette first."

While taking out a cigarette with his white hand, he smiled evilly, "Your father is still like that, you are not allowed to buy cigarettes, you can only take cigarettes from him to smoke." ”

"Well, my dad is a carpenter, and he knows how to calculate."

The white hand helped Tong Liuzi light a cigarette, and urged: "Tell me, tell me about your engineering team." ”

"Brother Hand, our line of work is actually very simple. First attached to a construction company or engineering brigade, my engineering team is under the name of our Chentong Township Engineering Brigade. As far as I know, there are at least five contractors like my dad in our Chentong Township Engineering Brigade. Of course, if you are affiliated, you have to accept the leadership, and you have to pay a management fee. ”

"How much is the management fee?"

"It's hard to say, there are local regulations in different places. Our Chentong Township Engineering Brigade has an annual affiliation fee of 500 yuan. The other is the management fee, which is calculated on a per capita basis. Like my family's engineering team, each person has fifty dollars per year. Together, more than 1,200 yuan was handed over last year. ”

"Well, you go on."

"After docking, even if you have a name, then you have to pull up the people. A small engineering team like ours does not have the qualifications certified by the state, nor does it have big tools, and some work cannot be done. For example, you can't build a house, you can't build a culvert less than two meters, and so on. Of course, if you subcontract other people's work, or hang it in the name of other people's large companies, you can also build houses and culverts. ”

"Qualifications, I know that word."

"Take my family's engineering team as an example, to pull people, carpenters, stonemasons and masons are indispensable. There are also reinforcing steel workers who are also essential, and if you don't have one, you have to train one. I can't find other skilled workers, so I can only hire them when I need them. Now I have hired a surveyor in my engineering team, and I have to give him five dollars for only two hours a day. It's too expensive, and you can't be on call yet, because people are talents. ”

"With the centaurs, what's next?"
