Chapter 662: Moving Bricks for Life (4/5 for the Flying Talker)
"Four small workers!" It didn't take long for a contractor with a black stick cigarette in his mouth to come over, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand raised four fingers and shouted.
Black stick smoke seems to be the standard for the foremen, just like the tattoos of the underworld brothers, the gold-rimmed glasses of the financial elite, and you know what they do when you see these.
This time Shen Long was not polite, as soon as the words fell, he squeezed to the side of the foreman, the foreman looked at him very satisfied, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Count you in." ”
Then a few more people were selected, one of whom was in his forties, with a "radish flower" in his right eye, and the four of them followed the contractor to the construction site, pad the belly and start working.
Small workers are all hard work, Shen Long did not show that he wanted to be a big worker, he knew a little bit of these jobs, but he didn't come to move bricks to make money, it didn't make much difference to him whether he earned four yuan a day or two yuan, and he began to carry stones with the radish flower.
The vegetation in northern Shaanxi is scarce, the lack of wood necessary to build a house, coupled with the special soil quality of northern Shaanxi, so the cave has become the best choice for building a residence, as for the green bricks fired by Sun Shao'an brick kiln, it is only the rich and large units dare to use, and the general people are still accustomed to using stone hoop kilns.
The work of these small workers is to carry the stone from the unloading place to the mouth of the cave, which is heavy physical work, but no one dares to be lazy, now the policy has been relaxed, and those around are either unwilling to be tied to the land, or want to help the family earn some living money People have flocked to Huangyuan to recruit workers, there are so many people in Dongguan Qiaotou, you don't want to do some people are willing to do it, and the foreman will let you get out of the way if you don't look good.
At present, the supply of migrant workers is far greater than the demand, and it is far from the stage of the shortage of migrant workers in later generations, and it is already very lucky to be able to find a place to work hard for money.
Radish Flower put the coat on his shoulders, and then squatted down, the person next to him put hundreds of pounds of stones on his shoulders, Radish Flower was slightly upset, adjusted the position of the stone, babbled and shouted, and then picked up the stone and walked up the slope step by step, from here to the place of the hoop kiln there is half a mile, the car can not go up, it is all up to the person to carry the stone up.
Shen Long also carried a stone on his back as he learned from the radish flower, to be honest, this work was still a bit light compared to when he was practicing with the Turtle Immortals, and now that the hundred and ten catties of stones were placed on Shen Long's back, there was no way to cause him much trouble, but Shen Long did not show any abnormality, and walked slowly up the slope with a pant like everyone else.
After a busy morning, I can only take a little rest when I eat at noon, and the meal will naturally not be a good meal, but after heavy physical labor, people's appetite is very strong, and the big guy eats a fine light after a few clicks, and then then a little precious rest time at noon, lying on the construction site, smoking and gossiping.
"Oh my God! From Nanjing to Beijing, which woman can compare to this Lingxiangjun? Hmph, our mountain village has raised a good woman since ancient times! Look, this Lingxiang has black and oily hair, a white face, dazzling and crooked, a slender figure, and walks like a lotus flower floating in the water, and the willow swinging in the wind! Carrot Flower became the focal point of the laborers, and the big guy listened with fascination as he told his story about himself and his woman.
Women, this is the eternal topic of the workers, no, not just the workers, as long as it is a place where men are concentrated, the topic is always inseparable from women, in the university men's dormitory, after turning off the lights, talking about women, after work and drinking with male colleagues, talking is still women, this is not much different from the difference in cultural level.
"Oh, you haven't seen her hands yet! It's tender, it's soft, it's like that cold powder......"
"Have you pinched it?" Someone interjected to ask.
"Alas, how can it be my turn to pinch? My family is so poor that it jingles, and an old mother guards me, an old bachelor, and I don't have the last meal, what are the years...... However, I love Lingxiang so much that I can't say it! I thought it was a good deal, so I slept with Lingxiang, and I didn't regret dying the next day. However, you can't love people to death...... People are getting married! My son-in-law came to our village and was a teacher at the school......"
"On the day of Lingxiang's wedding, my heart was like a broken knife, who in the world can know my suffering! I sat in a mound and watched the courtyard opposite the house bustling with drummers. My heart is like a cat's paw. I thought, no matter what, I have to ...... the incense."
"What are you going to do?" Everyone asked anxiously.
The storyteller deliberately turned the corner and said, "That night, everyone in the village ran to the cave house, and I went to it."
Finish. In the cave house, the young offspring in the village squeezed one by one, and everyone pushed and shoved, bringing Lingxiang and her son-in-law together. Tears welled up in my stomach. I saw that Lingxiang was as handsome as the seven fairies in the sky! She combed two braids of twist flowers, and wore a red silk shirt, the red silk, the red grid is gorgeous, the water grid is bright, and the eyes of the people are sparked, which is the kind of silk in our Huangyuan Woolen Mill......"
It's a silk factory, Shen Long muttered in his heart, but he didn't interrupt out loud.
“…… In this way, the crowd made a fuss for most of the night. Me? The whole body trembled like sifting chaff, but he didn't dare to go to Lingxiang's side
Squeeze, it looks like it's going to end. If I don't do it, I won't have a chance in my life. My heart was crossed, and I squeezed it in the chaos, and my hand pinched it on the stomach of Lingxiang......"
"Ahh The crowd shouted excitedly.
"And then?" Someone hurriedly asked.
"Later, people turned around and glared at me. I was so scared that I ran away......"
"So, you still haven't slept with anyone?" Someone smacked his lips in shock.
"it!" Radish Flower blew another puff of smoke to the top of the kiln in frustration, "From then on, I left the village and came out to work." Earn two dollars and go to Dongguan to find a good mother-in-law to sleep with for a few nights. When the money is gone, go back to work......"
The story ended before the ** arrived, and everyone yawned long and lost interest in continuing to listen to the story, at this time the foreman also came to urge them to continue to work, and a group of people slowly walked down the slope and began to carry a big stone uphill, just like the mythical Sisyphus, this life seems to never end.
Shen Long was carrying a big stone on his back, but his mind was full of the story of Radish Flower, to be honest, he had read many books and watched many film and television works, but there was no one that could depict feelings as vividly as Radish Flower, and any words seemed pale and powerless in front of the story of Radish Flower.
That's life!
